Chapter 1163 - Grand Victory
A massive iceberg plummeted from the heavens, its crushing aura smothering a third of the castle as it descended with a deafening roar. Darkness swallowed the battlements, forcing the guards lurking in the shadows to reveal themselves.
Yu Wentai's face turned grim enough to curdle blood. If his Origin Conversion Art allowed flight, he would have risen into the air and cut Liu Wuxie down himself.
However, he was bound to the ground, and his attacks could not touch the youth high above, while the latter could strike from the skies without restraint.
"I knew it! That brat is a troublemaker—I should've killed him when I had the chance," Liu An snarled through clenched teeth.
The iceberg crashed into the northwest side of the castle with an earth-shaking impact.
Liu Wuxie had studied the fortress on his previous visit and knew that this was its weakest point. The northwest wall, near the arena, was poorly built, and guards were seldom stationed there.
Stone and debris exploded outward, leaving a gap several meters wide.
Through the breach, a tide of astral beasts surged in. The heavily guarded warehouse stood at the castle's flank, nearly impregnable under normal conditions, but with Liu Wuxie's breach, the defenders faced attacks from two fronts and failed to hold.
"Get lost!" Yu Wentai roared at last, summoning his sword. One sweeping strike ripped through the oncoming beasts, tearing them to bloody fragments.
From above, Liu Wuxie narrowed his eyes. This was his first time witnessing the power of the Origin Conversion Art—laws and true essence, and it was a dozen times stronger than those of the Transcendent Realm.
However, the beasts did not falter. A second wave crashed in, only to meet Yu Wentai's relentless blade. Alone, he held them back like a god of slaughter, felling them faster than anyone could count.
Unfortunately, Anlu Star teemed with astral beasts, and more poured in from every direction.
