CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 139: THE ARRIVAL OF THE SKY-LEVEL SECT

"Martial Uncle, it’s hard to believe so many Super Sects are here, along with Life-Death Realm Powerhouses. It’s truly terrifying!"

The Sect Master of the Red Flame Sword Sect peered into the distance, his face pale, uttering these words with a palpable sense of lingering fear.

At this moment, the two stood atop the highest peak of the Red Flame Sword Sect, gazing at the radiant pillars of light cast down from the heavens. Their hearts were filled with both awe and dread.

Facing these formidable Super Sects, they felt utterly insignificant, like mere ants.

"To be fortunate enough to witness these stalwarts from the Super Sects in my lifetime... even death would hold no regrets..." The Supreme Elder’s face was somber as he spoke, a deep sigh escaping his lips.

While the Red Flame Sword Sect held a modest reputation within the Shenfeng Dynasty, they were insignificant in the grand scheme of the Cangnan Continent. Normally, he would never have the chance to witness Powerhouses of the Life-Death Realm. But the emergence of the Red Dust Fairyland this time had allowed him to witness such a vast number of Life-Death Realm powerhouses from the Super Sects. This was indeed an honor.

"Master, it seems that no Sky-Level Sects have arrived yet..." the Sect Master of the Red Flame Sword Sect blinked as he spoke.

"By rights... they might come. Let’s wait patiently. After all, they are very far from here. Even a Void Throw would consume an enormous amount of resources and require time to prepare..." the Supreme Elder responded, smiling.

No sooner had he finished speaking—

BOOM!

A thunderous noise echoed from deep within the void, as if something colossal were about to emerge.

Then, a rift formed in the void, and an incredibly dazzling pillar of light descended from the heavens.

At this moment, even the sun, moon, and stars seemed to lose their radiance.

"Is this...?"

Their eyes widened, and their breath hitched in their throats. The pillar of light before them was far larger than those from the Super Sects. Could it be... a Sky-Level Sect had arrived?

It wasn’t just them; at this moment, all cultivators in the surrounding mountains, including the Life-Death Realm cultivators from the Super Sects, opened their eyes wide, staring intently at the magnificent, radiant pillar of light.

"The Sky-Level Sect has arrived!"

Just then, a Life-Death Realm cultivator suddenly stood up, murmuring to himself.

Although Super Sects dominated their own territories, they were insignificant compared to Sky-Level Sects. There was simply no comparison.

With the light fading, nearly 100,000 figures, vast and imposing, appeared suspended in mid-air.

All eyes were drawn to that point in the void, expressions of shock etched on their faces.

Indeed, it was a Sky-Level Sect. This time, they had brought nearly 10,000 Shaping God Realm Disciples!

Truly terrifying! Transporting so many people via a single Void Throw made it difficult to fathom the true depth of a Sky-Level Sect’s foundations!

"Such power! There’s even a great cultivator at the Peak of ten layers of life-death realm, a Half-Step Eternity Realm Cultivator..."

A Life-Death Realm cultivator turned pale instantly after sensing the cultivation base and Super Divine Dragon Breath of the terrifying figure in the void.

"The strength of Sky-Level Sects is indeed formidable. Rumor has it that an Eternal Realm Strong Person presides there..." a Life-Death Realm cultivator whispered, his eyes aflame with fervor.

On the Cangnan Continent, Major Sects and Super Sects were divided into four tiers: Peak, Superior, Medium Grade, and Inferior. However, above Sky-Level, including Eternal Level, there were no such subdivisions. The Sky Level was simply the Sky Level, and the Eternal Level was the Eternal Level. Both were unique classifications in their own right. This was why Sky-Level and Eternal Level Sects were so rare, with each such force being incredibly powerful. A single Sky-Level Sect could nominally command over a thousand Super Sects. Therefore, one could only imagine how much more fearsome Eternal Realm Sects would be!

「In the void.」

The middle-aged cultivator, at the Half-Step Eternity Realm, stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He watched as his Sect’s disciples entered the crimson pillar of light one by one, a faint smile on his face. He turned, scanned his surroundings, and noted the arrival of many Super Sects. However, not a single other Sky-Level Sect was present.

He nodded and smiled, a hint of faint arrogance in his eyes. Sky-Level Sects resided high above the clouds, far beyond the reach of any Sect below them.

This Half-Step Eternity Realm expert intended to find a place to rest. Surveying the area, he observed that every surrounding mountaintop was teeming with people. Although he could have easily secured a spot, as no one would dare refuse him, he felt it would be bullying the smaller Sects. As an expert from a Sky-Level Sect, he possessed his own dignity and disdained exploiting the weak with his strength.

Eventually, his gaze fell upon the center of the valley. Beneath the crimson pillar of light where the Red Dust Fairyland had descended, the valley floor was quite spacious, occupied by only a single black carriage. And at this moment, the black carriage was empty. The carriage’s owner, he inferred, must have ventured into the Red Dust Fairyland.

He casually glanced at the Big Black Cat lounging on the carriage.

Heavenly Order Realm Third Layer, that’s all...

In his eyes—the eyes of a great cultivator at the Half-Step Eternity Realm—a Destiny Realm cultivation base was as insignificant as an ant, easily dismissed and utterly trivial.

He then glanced at the ordinary-looking Big Black Horse. A sharp light flashed in his eyes as he scanned it a few times before gently shaking his head. The Big Black Horse’s cultivation base wasn’t high, similar to the Big Black Cat’s. However, its true level was concealed, so at first glance, it appeared to be an ordinary Big Black Horse.

The owner of this carriage is somewhat interesting... a faint, dismissive smile touched the lips of the Half-Step Eternity Realm expert.

COUGH!

The Big Black Cat coughed, standing up. He showed not the slightest hint of fear before this Half-Step Eternity Realm expert. However, under the pressure of the expert’s imposing aura, his body trembled uncontrollably, as if the force had penetrated his very bones and seeped into his soul.

"’This Old Cat will not bow to anyone...’" the Big Black Cat murmured, then fiercely glared at the Half-Step Eternity Realm expert.

At that moment, he actually activated the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye, of which he had only grasped a rudimentary understanding.

"Hmm?"

The Half-Step Eternity Realm expert’s brows knitted. He actually felt a power emanating from the Big Black Cat’s eyes that could interfere with his spirit. Although it didn’t daze him, it still caused a moment of discomfort.

"’This little demon cat dares to launch a sneak attack on me!’"

The Half-Step Eternity Realm expert flew into a rage. He raised his hand, and a palm strike descended from the sky. This palm strike transformed in mid-air into a colossal Mana palm, its shadow eclipsing the sun, its Super Divine Dragon Breath imposing and terrifying.

"So strong!"

"’That Half-Step Eternity Realm expert of the Sky-Level Sect has made his move!’"

Many of the observing cultivators were greatly shocked.

However, cold smirks appeared on the faces of several Life-Death Realm cultivators in the crowd. They were the few Life-Death Realm cultivators who had previously crossed paths with the Big Black Horse. At this moment, they felt a twinge of pity for that Half-Step Eternity Realm expert.

That Big Black Horse was an Eternal Realm great demon! It was not something a Half-Step Eternity Realm cultivator like him could handle.

Although "Half-Step Eternity Realm" sounded close to "Eternal Realm," there was, in reality, the gap of an entire Major Realm between them. This Major Realm represented a colossal, natural divide. The disparity in strength was immense.
