System's Super Sect Chapter 1537: Weaknesses of Curse Power
Previously on System's Super Sect...
It was with great difficulty that he finally managed to gain a foothold at Heaven-Gazing Gorge.
And it was with great difficulty that he finally made the Immortal Sect flourish to this extent.
As for the Heaven-covering Tower, once the Celestial Control Array is completed in a few days, he will let Chen Xie and the others accompany it and slowly tinker away.
Because whether it was Nalan Muhong or Tian Wuxin, killing either of them could not possibly explode out the Primordial Vast Power he needed to break through to the Primordial Vast Realm, so he no longer needed to do as in the past; he just had to quietly cultivate and wait for his fame to accumulate.
Once he has stockpiled enough fame to build the Heaven-covering Tower, he can start constructing a special building capable of producing Primordial Vast Power.
Such a building does exist, but it is not cheap.
Reining in his wandering thoughts, Wen Ping continued refining Primordial Vast Power, and while he refined, he had the system display the situation on Wei Shengxingyu’s side.
He wanted to see whether Wei Shengxingyu, at his current stage, could curse-kill an Upper Realm cultivator, and also whether the Heaven-covering Tower side had found any way to break the Curse Power.
[Sect Elder Wei Shengxingyu is currently cursing to kill the Celestial Unrestricted Upper Realm cultivator Chen Jianghe…]
[The target of his curse, under the protection of Heaven-covering Tower’s master Endless Celestial Suspension, is in the Qu Realm and is moving away from the borders of Geng Country at a speed of ten thousand li per hour. At this moment he has already left the Geng Country border by thirty-six thousand li!]
The system could not broadcast real-time images from outside the Immortal Sect’s domain, but so long as it concerned people and matters tied to Sect members, it could still capture some basic information; this was why Wen Ping felt at ease cultivating.
Ten hours later, Wen Ping suddenly opened his eyes, because the system had just reminded him that Chen Jianghe and Endless Celestial Suspension had stopped.
They stopped twenty-four hundred thousand li away from the Geng Country border, already far beyond the Teleportation Array’s coverage of one million li.
However, the system showed that Wei Shengxingyu’s curse upon them had not been lifted, nor had it weakened because of the distance.
“Looks like it won’t be long before Wei Shengxingyu’s Curse Power can achieve full coverage over the Heaven-Gazing Gorge territory.” Wen Ping was quite satisfied with this; on this point alone, it had been worth fishing him out of the Qu Realm back then.
…
Heaven-covering Tower territory.
Deep amid overlapping mountains and ridges, within shrouds of white mist, a majestic and imposing giant Dragon Wall Text grand array stood.
The entire array was composed of over a thousand giant Dragon Bones one hundred zhang tall, all carved full of Dragon Wall Text. Each Dragon Bone stood there like a Giant, extremely spectacular.
If a Vortex Divine Artisan were here, he would instantly see that a grand array of this level was absolutely not something an ordinary Six-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan could construct.
Nor something one or two people could handle.
Nor something accomplished overnight!
Such an extravagant defensive array was something even ordinary Six-star giant powers might not be able to afford, yet it was being used to protect a single lake.
A golden lake.
At this moment, on the Lake Heart Island at the center of this golden lake, Endless Celestial Suspension and Zhuo Fengchen were both making a move to stir the golden lake water, causing it to continuously pour into the increasingly severely corroded Chen Jianghe, whose very Qi had already become unstable.
“Devour the Spiritual Power within to nourish your Spirit Body, strengthen your Spirit Body. Whether you can endure this, that depends on yourself.” Endless Celestial Suspension spoke in a low voice; although his tone held no other emotion, every word was full of helplessness.
Because this was all he could do.
Zhuo Fengchen followed by speaking as well, “This lake is where we cultivate our Spirit Bodies, and we can only enter for ten days once per year. Cultivating here not only lets your Spiritual Power soar, it also keeps your Spirit Body in its peak state forever. If you still can’t hold out even with this, then you deserve to die!”
“Many thanks… Tower Master!” Chen Jianghe spoke with difficulty, then immediately began madly drawing in the power within like a starving child.
With a single gulp his gains were as if he had cultivated his Spirit Body for a hundred days.
The Spiritual Power he had lost to the erosion of the mysterious force was replenished in an instant.
And in that same instant, Chen Jianghe felt an unprecedented ease, because that mysterious power’s rate of erosion had slowed.
On the other side, at the All-Knowing Tower, Wei Shengxingyu immediately noticed something amiss, because the Curse Power had not lessened or weakened, yet Chen Jianghe’s life aura had temporarily stabilized, and even grown much more vigorous than before, faintly giving him the feeling of returning to his peak.
“Looks like they’ve found a way.” Wei Shengxingyu did not stop the curse; instead, his eyes grew even more resolute.
The next instant, Wei Shengxingyu began burning his lifespan.
Life Techniques can burn lifespan.
The Book of Curses can, as well!
Moreover, the Book of Curses did not require burning lifespan as ruthlessly as Life Techniques did, so Wei Shengxingyu did not hesitate in the slightest.
Burn ten years on the spot first!
On Lake Heart Island, Chen Jianghe, whose expression had only just eased, suddenly trembled violently; a mouthful of blood burst from his chest and sprayed out, dyeing the ground before him a vast patch of red. As that blood sprayed out, his aura rapidly went chaotic.
“It’s worse than before…” Chen Jianghe howled in agony, nearly losing his mind, giving Endless Celestial Suspension and the other a huge fright.
“It was working just now, how did it suddenly…” Endless Celestial Suspension’s brows instantly knit tight. While suppressing Chen Jianghe’s frenzy, his heart was full of shock and doubt, and his Perception immediately probed into Chen Jianghe’s body to find out what was happening.
Suddenly.
Zhuo Fengchen cried out in alarm at his side, “The mysterious power has grown nearly tenfold stronger!”
“This is bad!”
For a moment, Endless Celestial Suspension was at a total loss. As time passed second by second, and he watched even Chen Jianghe’s Spirit Body begin to show signs of rotting and shriveling, how could he not understand that Chen Jianghe was doomed.
A short while later, Endless Celestial Suspension ceased his actions and no longer forcefully poured the lake’s golden water into Chen Jianghe’s Spirit Body.
Zhuo Fengchen also stopped.
