Chapter 1045: Chapter 967: Angel? Sword Demon!

A shocking sound echoed!

More than twenty Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivators broke through that layer of Sword Intent defense.

The mountain-like warhammer struck the Sword Demon enveloped in Holy Light, causing a tremendous boom, as if a great mountain had collapsed.

The raging gusts and sonic waves wreaked havoc on the ground, nearly toppling the Mountain Suppression Realm cultivators a thousand meters away. They barely stabilized themselves by using their swords as support.

Such an attack could not budge the Holy Light breaking through the Sea of Clouds in the slightest!

The light was formless, yet like a thick wall, it firmly kept the warhammer outside, unable to touch the Sword Demon at all.

And the immense Dark Web, which was about to envelop the Sword Demon, got pierced in an instant—despite being capable of shielding against Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted attacks—and became a useless charred net when the Holy Light broke through the Sea of Clouds.

Now the Dark Web couldn’t even trap the enemy, much less block their path.

The path is as wide as the holes!

The attacks from the remaining twenty-plus cultivators were similarly blocked by the Holy Light surrounding them, unable to create even a ripple.

"What!"

"How is this possible?"

"Even with our combined attack, we can’t budge it one bit! What kind of Vein Technique is this? Why is its defense so powerful?"

"Beware! It’s not just formidable in defense! Its destructiveness is alarmingly high. My Dark Web could trap ordinary Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivators for at least a quarter of an hour, yet this light pierced it effortlessly! This light... This Vein Technique is absolutely extraordinary, be careful, it’s likely a Celestial Level Vein Skill!"

Everyone was shocked.

Celestial Level Vein Skill?

Impossible, right?

The Sword Demon barely broke through Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted; how could he have had time to cultivate a Celestial Level Vein Skill?

The baseline for cultivating a Celestial Level Vein Skill is Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted.

Moreover, you must have a Celestial Unrestricted cultivator willing to teach you their prized Celestial Level Vein Skill to even approach this baseline.

Under normal circumstances, no Celestial Unrestricted cultivator would willingly pass on their Celestial Level Vein Skill.

You’d have no chance to even touch the baseline.

Across the entire Tianlu (Sky Concealing Tower), few Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivators have such favor.

The War God of the Battle Division is the same!

While everyone was still realizing this, the Sword Demon suddenly charged out of the Holy Light, forcing a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivator back with a single slash, then left. The crowd hurried to catch up, only to find the Sword Demon flying towards River of the Curved Realm.

And right along River of the Curved Realm!

It was like dancing on the tip of a blade—the more insane, the crazier.

If slightly careless, or someone struck the Sword Demon into the Qu Realm, the Sword Demon would undeniably die with no chance of survival.

"Madman!"

"Truly a madman!"

"Dare to fly along the surface of River of the Curved Realm, clearly seeking death while trying to drag us down with him!"

The Battle Division’s Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivators cursed but still pursued, flying high above without descending.

That Holy Light which descended from above had blocked all their attacks, including the full-power strike of a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivator.

And effortlessly broke through a top Earth-Level Long-range Vein Skill; thus, they dared not hastily pursue the Sword Demon.

Celestial Level Vein Skills, they weren’t concerned.

After all, this was the Sky Concealing Tower’s territory.

Though Celestial Level Vein Skills are powerful, they cannot make much of a splash here.

Their only fear was the Qu Realm.

The Sword Demon dared to dance on a blade—but they didn’t dare!

"Forget whether the Sword Demon has cultivated Celestial Level Vein Skills, that Vein Technique is indeed extraordinary. If the Sword Demon uses his trick again, blocks our attacks, and drives us forcefully into Qu Realm, we wouldn’t survive with our strength."

"Stay away from River of the Curved Realm! We’ll target him in the high sky and see how long he can evade!"

With that, they tacitly began releasing Long-range Vein Skills to bombard the Sword Demon.

With twenty-five attacking simultaneously, the Sword Demon could only dodge continuously, not counterattack.

Because the Holy Light couldn’t descend a second time in a short while!

The ten-breath invincible time had already passed!

Tier Four Magic—Invincible Holy Light, though he squeezed out some time to cultivate it at Entry Level in the Fifth World, the cultivation time was brief, needing 1000 breaths before reactivation with his Entry Level familiarity.

Before Tier Four Magic—Angel Descent’s chant ends, the Sword Demon could only dodge.

The Angel Descent had just been cultivated at Entry Level in the Fifth World, so the chanting took longer—he must create time for chanting.

This was why he flew along River of the Curved Realm.

It’s mad, but the Sword Demon loved such madness!

Boom—

Bang—

The Vein Skills of more than twenty Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivators, after being dodged by the Sword Demon, all crashed into River of the Curved Realm, churning it turbulently.

The Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivators in the sky saw the Sword Demon continuously evading, both angry and annoyed.

Yet they were helpless.

"No, his speed is too fast. The Vein Skills we release give him too much reaction time."

"This coward intrudes into my Sky Concealing Tower’s territory, only dodging endlessly. Don’t let me catch you; once caught, I’ll hang you above Mitian City’s gate to expose your corpse for a century!"

With the crowd’s enraged shouts, the Sword Demon abruptly stopped.

A satisfied smile from achieved scheming spread across his face.

This puzzled the crowd.

Why did the Sword Demon stop?

Why is he smiling?

Madman?

Although they reacted quickly, they hadn’t paused.

Regardless of why the Sword Demon stopped, it was their opportunity.

Would he employ a trick again, effortlessly blocking twenty-five Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivators’ strikes?

Suddenly, they saw the Sword Demon’s magic wand point skyward!

Holy Light broke through the Sea of Clouds again, descending, but this time someone appeared behind the Holy Light.

A person with wings!

None could see his face, but they saw him swiftly descending from the light, landing on the Sword Demon, merging with him.

Unexpectedly, light rippled outward.

Boom—

Holy Light swept the sky, seemingly to dispel all worldly darkness.

The Sword Demon emerged from the Holy Light, with a pair of sacred wings behind — they gently flapped, taking the Sword Demon into disappearance; the Sword Demon’s originally black pupils turned Holy Light colored; naturally, his clothes and Black Saber were all dyed a sacred white by the Holy Light...

The current Sword Demon was an Angel!

The Angel was the Sword Demon!

When the Sword Demon reappeared, it was in the hundred-foot high sky.

He raised his now-transformed Black Saber and swung vigorously.

Boom—

A loud bang.

A Battle Division Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivator watching in stupefaction flew backward, crashing into the Qu Realm like a meteor.

Bang!

The Curved Realm Water splashed high.

This Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivator wasn’t dead yet, but got instantly swallowed by the Curved Realm Water.

The outcome still death!

After one slash, the Sword Demon swung another!

Boom!

Angel’s Power crossed space striking one, sending a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivator flying backward bizarrely within the crowd.

The descent’s direction—again, towards River of the Curved Realm.

Without surprise, another Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivator died.

As the Angel transformed Sword Demon, two slashes killed two.

Also terrifying twenty-three thousand remaining Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivators, who fled fearfully from River of the Curved Realm.
