System's Super Sect Chapter 900 - 846: Without Heaven’s Limit, Still an Ant (Fourth Update)

Jian Chenxin abruptly hoisted his sword aloft. Following a surge from the Meridian Gate, he eagerly slashed it downward. The instant the blade struck the earth, sword qi spanning hundreds of zhang materialized from nowhere, ripping across the firmament with overwhelming force. It cleaved Wood Dragon’s demon powers clean in half at the waist and pressed onward relentlessly toward Wood Dragon.

Yet Jian Chenxin had no real intention of battling Wood Dragon head-on with his mightiest sword move. The moment the invasive demon powers were bisected, he morphed into a dazzling rainbow streak and sped off into the distance, fleeing headlong without a single glance behind!

Fled headlong without a single glance behind!

Having witnessed the sheer perversity of Wood Dragon’s demonic power arts, he dared not tarry a second longer.

In a flash, Jian Chenxin had soared far into the horizon.

Wood Dragon hesitated briefly, then let out a wry chuckle, declaring, “Back in the day, before I embraced the Demon Immortal Dao, such a frantic escape might indeed have succeeded. But now, with the Demon Immortal Dao under my belt and tracking demon arts at my command, your bodies both harbor my demon power. No matter how many miles you put between us, I’ll track you down. Flight is pointless!”

The very next instant, Wood Dragon dissolved into a howling demonic gale and vanished from sight amid heaven and earth.

Demon Technique — Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Skill!

Instant arrival anywhere within ten thousand miles!

Its only limit: requiring prior implantation of his own demon power into the foe’s body.

Wood Dragon materialized right beside Jian Chenxin.

Boom!

With a single arm, Wood Dragon lashed out, smashing a fist down from above.

Though Jian Chenxin’s sharp senses allowed him to react in time, desperately parrying the blow with his own arm, the demon body’s raw might vastly exceeded anything he could endure.

That devastating punch sent Jian Chenxin crashing to the ground, where he lay unable to rise again.

He was utterly stunned!

Darkness clouded his vision, and all power drained from his limbs.

Right after, Wood Dragon unleashed yet another demon art, the one he’d honed in Fa Yuan Valley.

Abruptly, thunderous hoofbeats boomed through the skies, as if celestial beasts were thundering down. Soon, the clamor intensified, shaking the heavens and drawing every eye in the city upward.

A colossal four-legged demon beast, formless and shadowy, barreled down from above, smashing Jian Chenxin airborne just as he struggled to his feet.

Bang —

Jian Chenxin hurtled forth like a loosed arrow, smashing through innumerable buildings, streaking thousands of meters before finally halting against Jianshui City’s walls.

Wood Dragon’s will stirred once more, morphing demon power into a massive demon form that silently hovered beside Jian Chenxin.

One leg reared up high, then slammed down viciously, trapping Jian Chenxin beneath it and rendering him immobile.

Thus ended Jian Chenxin’s capacity for resistance!

Already lagging a full realm behind, and with Wood Dragon wielding the Demon Immortal Dao, the disparity between them yawned impossibly wide.

Having subdued Jian Chenxin completely, Wood Dragon curved his lips in a subtle grin—not from joy at capturing him, but for another reason entirely.

“Cultivating the Demon Immortal Dao feels truly marvelous, letting me unleash demon power on enemies without ever closing to melee range.”

From now on, humans can use Vein Techniques.

Demons have demon techniques too!

Demons no longer need to take human shape or cultivate Meridian Gates!

Moreover, current vein qi has no method to counteract demon power, as the sect leader said, as long as this method remains unexplored, demon power is sufficient to make the demon race invincible within the same realm, even allowing demons to fight across realms!

“Such a pity, too weak, if only there were stronger opponents to test my 500-year cultivation.”

Wood Dragon glanced at the gasping Jian Chenxin and shook his head with helpless regret.

With a sigh, Wood Dragon shaped his demon power into a lengthy spear, impaling the fading Jian Chenxin and nailing him amid the wreckage.

As crimson blood poured from his wounds, Jian Chenxin’s demise was all but sealed.

Wood Dragon cared little to witness Jian Chenxin’s final moments, instead whipping up another demonic wind and hurtling toward the demon power signature embedded in Lei Qianshan’s body.

Lei Qianshan is worth 500 Sect Task Points.

Can’t let him escape just like that.

task points would allow him to enter the Final Forbidden Area five times, even bringing back one demon pill each time would be enough to increase his cultivation to 600 years.

If he safely passes the second celestial tribulation, he would definitely have the confidence to return to the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted level.

With these aspirations, Wood Dragon pursued Lei Qianshan.

…

Once Wood Dragon departed, throngs of Jianshui City dwellers converged, gazing from afar at their Sect Leader—Jian Chenxin—impaled lifelessly amid the ruins by the water’s edge!

Once a top power!

Now a soul perished under the spear!

“Turns out that saying is true, without reaching Celestial Unrestricted, one is ultimately an ant.”

The people of Jianshui City couldn’t help but sigh.

Just then, the masked Chen Xie swooped down from the skies with his followers, emerging as the sole group bold enough to stand near Jian Chenxin’s corpse.

“Painter?”

Chen Xie called out, spotting an elder dash forward from the rear, clutching paper and brush. He yanked a table from his Storage Ring and began sketching feverishly.

Of course, the paint is of Jian Chenxin’s death scene!

Because Chen Xie remembers, the Sect Leader said the Immortal Daily can also include pictures, not just articles.

While the painter painted, Ye Wuhuan arrived.

With assistance from Yi Xuan, after sustaining heavy injuries and covered in blood, Yi Jian also came to the center of the ruins.

With Yi Jian’s arrival, the people of Jianshui City turned to look at the dean of Water Academy — Yi Jian!

People couldn’t help but feel emotional.

“Truly ironic, Longmen vowed to slay Yi Jian in public in five days to annihilate Zhilou’s prestige, yet before these five days even passed, Jian Chenxin died first, and Lei Qianshan fled.”

“What the Immortal Daily stated was indeed true, Immortal Sect really has Upper Realm experts overseeing things, the Immortal Daily truly has not deceived me!”

…

Amid the surrounding buzz of discussion, Yi Jian, his daughter Yi Xuan, and Ye Wuhuan all walked to where Jian Chenxin died.

Ye Wuhuan laughed.

His paper fan opened, laughing excitedly.

Laughing without restraint, seemingly without a care for others!

Yi Jian and Yi Xuan’s father-daughter duo also took a look at Jian Chenxin’s corpse and afterwards left with support from Zhilou’s people.

It was time to return and visit Water Academy.

That was their home!

…

Turning to Wood Dragon again.

Though he was continually chasing Lei Qianshan, he wasn’t in a hurry to catch up, instead trailing behind watching as those thousands of Essence Qi pursued relentlessly.

Lei Qianshan midway wanted to try stopping and defeating them, yet barely paused for a brief moment, just raised his hand, when dozens of Essence Qi blades flew into Lei Qianshan’s mouth and nose, causing his whole body to shudder.

It was like someone abruptly swung a giant hammer at his head, leaving him somewhat dazed, his head feeling swollen.

Only then did Lei Qianshan realize he couldn’t stop!

Couldn’t let them enter his body!

Just a dozen streaks entering his body made him feel so uncomfortable, if all entered his body, he dared not imagine what the consequences would be.

In a probable scenario, he would die!

“Senior, can we talk!”

However, Wood Dragon did not respond.

Lei Qianshan felt his perception wasn’t wrong, as he detected Wood Dragon’s aura, so hurriedly continued shouting, “Senior, spare me once, I’ll be willing to pay any price! If you kill me, Red Leaf Sect will retaliate, and You Country will too! No matter how strong you are, you still aren’t a match for You Country, so I think we can come to an agreement!”

“The Sect Leader doesn’t want to talk, neither do I.” Wood Dragon’s cold voice suddenly echoed in the air, “Knowing what you know now, why act initially? Immortal Sect created the Immortal Daily, it clearly has merit for you, allowing you to learn about worldly affairs without ever leaving the house, and for a mere 100 gold coins per Immortal Daily. Yet, you stubbornly insisted, always trying to crush the Immortal Daily. You persistently wish to remain frogs at the bottom of the well, and insist on dragging all beings down to accompany you?”

In the end, Wood Dragon was slightly angry.

He couldn’t understand, Immortal Sect created the Immortal Daily, was clearly a blessing for everyone.

The Immortal Daily held so much essential information, even featuring insights from strong practitioners on cultivation, all invaluable to any force, yet the Sect Leader only charged 100 gold coins to give them to everyone, even ordinary people.

Immortal Sect did so, and yet these people showed no gratitude, not even that, but instead acted in ways detrimental and non-beneficial.

Do such people deserve to be leaders?

Do they deserve to stand atop the multitudes of beings?
