The Sword Demon fought fiercely against the Celestial Traveler, rapidly increasing his speed and inflicting more wounds. The Celestial Traveler, realizing he couldn't win, desperately tried to stall for time and made a request for reinforcements. The Sword Demon, meanwhile, felt his spiritual power surging and broke through to the Second Stage, expanding his perception significantly. Enraged at being used as a whetstone, the Celestial Traveler unleashed his powerful Fire Dance technique.

This move was originally intended for dealing with mortal enemies, a fact made clear by its use in his current predicament. After unleashing it, he would be left without the strength to perform any Vein Techniques beyond the Earth Level. But so what!

He would still use it today to eliminate his foe. Boom!

The very fabric of Heaven and Earth Lake's Space Barrier was instantly annihilated. A colossal volume of Curved Realm Water surged forth from every direction, carrying a momentum powerful enough to cleanse the world. The instant this surging water met the ground, everything in its path was submerged and reduced to nothingness.

Under Huaikong's command, the Demon Race commenced their withdrawal. Witnessing this spectacle, the members of the Hundred Sects Alliance began their desperate flight for survival.

Amidst the churning Curved Realm, countless colossal pillars of fire erupted towards the heavens, transforming the landscape back into a fiery inferno. Boom! Boom!

The Sword Demon found himself encircled by these fiery columns. With every step he took, a pillar of fire would ignite beneath his feet. He attempted to evade, but no matter where he moved, another fiery pillar awaited him. Boom—

In mere moments, the Sword Demon was engulfed by the flames, his Spirit Body sustaining severe damage, reduced to fifty percent of its original state! This was merely a single assault from the Pingyang Realm!

...

From a distance, Huaikong Shifeng and the others observed the unfolding scene, their expressions grim. "A single strike, and Elder Sword Demon's Spirit Body is instantly crippled!"

"An Upper Grade Earth Level School Vein Skill, mastered to the Realm of Perfection, is truly formidable. We had presumed Elder Sword Demon would emerge victorious." The two figures let out a sigh.

Truth be told, the Sword Demon's prowess had already astonished them. Furthermore, the Sword Demon's Spiritual Power had advanced to the Second Stage, granting him the capacity to continuously regenerate his Spirit Body. This meant that Spiritual Power at the Second Stage enabled the Sword Demon to consistently unleash Tier Three Magic, while his Spirit Body remained in a state of recovery! The Sword Demon could maintain peak combat against Celestial Traveler! Victory seemed all but assured.

However, an unforeseen turn of events had transpired. Celestial Traveler had cultivated the Upper Grade Earth Level School Vein Skill to the Realm of Perfection, resulting in a fundamental transformation of the Vein Technique. This perfected Vein Technique, combined with the disparity in Realms between Celestial Traveler and the Sword Demon, immediately placed the Sword Demon at a critical disadvantage. Another direct hit could very well spell his demise!

"He Nian, quickly inform the Sect Leader!" Long Yue urged urgently, instructing He Nian to contact Wen Ping. But as Long Yue finished speaking, a beam of white light descended from the sky, landing near the periphery of the conflict. From within this luminous descent, Wen Ping slowly emerged.

"Sect Leader!" "Sect Leader!" Huaikong and the others rejoiced instantaneously. The Sect Leader had arrived precisely when needed. Elder Sword Demon would be saved.

Wen Ping, stepping out of the white glow, cast a brief, weary glance at the Sword Demon. "What a fanatic," he muttered. Wen Ping had previously advised the Sword Demon that confronting a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted opponent should involve luring them towards the Immortal Sect. The protective array of the Immortal Sect would ensure their demise. Yet, the Sword Demon remained resolute, insisting on a fight to the death.

Still, the Sword Demon was undoubtedly a risk-taker. His daring gamble today had facilitated his rapid ascent to the Second Stage of Spiritual Power. Currently, within the Immortal Sect, only he and Long Yue had reached this level. Once the Sword Demon recovered and acquired a few Tier Four Magic spells, his power would undergo a significant evolution. At that point, even if Celestial Traveler continued to employ his current Vein Techniques, posing a threat to the Sword Demon would become impossible.

"Ice Seal Heaven and Earth!" With a flick of Wen Ping's Magic Wand, the rampant Curved Realm Water on the ground was instantly frozen. The Space Barrier that Celestial Traveler had fractured also began to be encased in ice. The world-ending catastrophe was promptly brought under control.

Observing this display, Huaikong and the others couldn't help but marvel. "The Sect Leader has grown significantly stronger."

However, the freezing of the Curved Realm was not the conclusion; the ice continued its inexorable spread towards the sky, targeting the erupting pillars of fire. In an instant, one surging pillar of fire was transformed into a bead of ice, followed by a second, and then a third. This icy cascade extended all the way to the Sword Demon's feet! A pathway to safety, forged from solid ice, suddenly materialized.

Seeing this, the Sword Demon swiftly exited along this newfound path, letting out a hearty laugh of relief, having narrowly escaped the impending doom.

"Many thanks to the Sect Leader for this life-saving grace!"

Wen Ping offered no reply as the frozen towering pillars of fire shattered, and the remnants of the flames continued to erupt, spreading and advancing directly at him.

The Sword Demon quickly interjected, "Sect Leader, you must be careful!"

Raising his Magic Wand once more, Wen Ping froze the surging pillars of fire, reforming them into imposing ice structures.

As they were all encased in ice, Wen Ping took to the skies and began chanting spells of Necromancy.

Dark Stream Annihilation manifested instantly, descending from the Undead Hell to hover over the skies above Heaven and Earth Lake.

"Ensure the body remains intact."

With these final words, Wen Ping departed the immediate vicinity of the battle.

As Wen Ping approached Huaikong and the others, they hurried forward to greet him, their faces alight with joy.

The Sword Demon also drew nearer, his expression etched with remorse.

"This Sword Demon was incompetent; I beg for your punishment, Sect Leader!"

Wen Ping first cast his gaze over Huaikong and the group, then directed his attention to the Sword Demon, stating immediately, "To force a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted to prematurely unleash their trump card using your Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm is no simple feat. Thus, you have earned a victory... yet also suffered a loss. Even if he was rendered powerless after this move, Huaikong could have finished him. However, with that single action, he could have first eliminated you."

The Sword Demon inclined his head in shame. "I understand. I still underestimated a powerhouse at the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted level."

Wen Ping nodded in agreement. "Had you possessed Tier Four Magic at your disposal, this predicament would never have occurred."

This implies that the Sword Demon merely needed to visit the Mage Tower once more and journey into the Fifth World again.

Then, he would undoubtedly be capable of defeating a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted opponent.
