Chapter 1429: Chapter 427: [Celestial Sect]_4

The sword darted through the air, spinning rapidly!

In the blink of an eye, it reached the Black General. The Black General waved his weapon to block, but this time, as soon as the weapon touched the sword’s blade, it was dissolved by the golden light, and then the sword pierced the Black General’s chest. After a piercing sound that made one’s teeth grit, it exited through his back!

Within the Black General’s body, golden light flowed!

Finally, his massive body shattered into pieces and transformed into a sky full of black mist, which slowly dispersed.

In the end, only a drop of thick black ink was left, which squirmed angrily a few times, then quickly turned, integrated into the gray area, and vanished.

The Saint’s figure slowly descended to the ground. With an outstretched hand, the flying sword returned, landing in her palm.

Upon landing, she exhaled deeply and then walked over to Zhan Li.

Zhan Li’s eyes flickered; she distinctly saw the sword in the Saint’s hand — the sword’s blade dotted with various soybean-sized blemishes and flaws!

"To let you see this, I’ve ruined a good sword."

The Saint sighed, lightly flicking her wrist, and the sword shattered on its own, transforming into tiny bits of golden light and scattering away.

Zhan Li swallowed hard.

She wasn’t inexperienced!

As the most cherished and well-trained disciple of the previous Ghost Race Clan Leader, she had certainly seen many top-grade magical artifacts!

As for magic swords, she had seen countless of them!

But she had never seen a sword of such caliber, held by the Saint!

Among all the magical treasures she had seen, none compared to the sword in the Saint’s hand!

Otherwise, how could something of poor quality be worthy of a Saint’s use?

Yet, such a top-grade magical artifact flying sword was destroyed in just one battle!!

"Now that the formation core has been broken, the mist below will disperse for a moment. Keep your eyes open and watch carefully!"

The Saint sighed: "In this battle, I spent a tenth of my cultivation to achieve this."

Zhan Li was stunned, wanting to ask... A tenth of the Saint’s cultivation?!

Just what level of beast was that Black General just now?

But the Saint only glanced at Zhan Li. Although she couldn’t speak, it was as if the Saint read her thoughts, and said slowly: "That was a Divine General guarding this formation core. If we’re talking cultivation... you can’t use our Domain Realm classification. But if you’re talking combat strength...

It could likely kill three to five Primordial Spirit Realm Great Perfection.

Of course, that’s its left-over remnant soul after death. How strong it was when alive...

I don’t know because no one has seen it."

Guardian of the formation core, a Divine General?

After death?

When alive?

Zhan Li listened more bewildered.

The Saint paid her no further attention, instead spreading the fingers of her right hand, swiftly calculating, orienting, and then looking behind Zhan Li.

The Saint took a deep breath, her tone becoming increasingly complex: "Ghost Race girl, you... just turn around and look!"

Zhan Li slowly turned around and looked behind her...

The next second, she was seemingly pinned to the spot!!

Her eyes widened to the fullest, staring dumbfounded at the scene ahead!

The grey mist dissipated partially, and beyond the mist appeared...

A towering structure like a giant palace... a castle tower!!

The castle tower was already collapsed!

Even though the large castle tower lay crashed onto the ground, its estimated height was nearly a hundred meters!

This grand castle tower, one can imagine its astonishing might when intact in the past!!

But now, broken and fallen, leaving behind a heap of ruins, the castle tower before her was composed of large pieces of black transparent giant stones!

Each giant stone was about two meters high.

Huge chunks of black crystal stone, covered in scars. It seemed to have been bombarded, battered, smashed, hacked, burned...

Right in front of Zhan Li, about thirty paces away, was the ruins of this giant castle-like... structure!

And what captured Zhan Li’s gaze the most was the structure’s arch lying on the ground...

The remnants of three large characters!

They weren’t any type of script Zhan Li recognized. Moreover, these three characters had been partially cut away, their remaining strokes incomplete.

But upon closer inspection, each stroke seemed imbued with a kind of imposing aura Zhan Li couldn’t fathom!

Just two seconds of staring, and Zhan Li felt her heart racing, her Divine Soul almost trying to escape her body!

Suddenly she was struck blind, as the Saint’s hand blocked her vision.

"These three characters contain supreme immortal power, though their original strength is damaged, their lingering aura still exists. If your cultivation is lacking and you keep staring, your Primordial Spirit will rupture, your Divine Sense scattered!"

Zhan Li took a deep breath, hurriedly closing her eyes, as she heard the Saint softly say: "You wouldn’t recognize this script, but I can tell you what these three characters say.

This is something I want you to remember firmly.

Remember well, the three large characters on this structure say... Southern! Heaven! Gate!"
