Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1727: Star Fire

The 3 Sages worked together to deal with the threat of Jiu Yin’s self-detonation. However, they turned on each other the next instant.

The Void Lotus in Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar's chest, which was evolving to the Seventh Rank, suddenly became the coveted object of both Yan Yu and Guan Ziqing.

Even though they had accumulated centuries of enmity, they quickly became allies of convenience. After all... Enemies often understood each other the best.

However, Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar was not entirely unprepared. How could he not have anticipated that the Void Lotus previously exposed at his chest would attract everyone's attention? What he had not expected was the swiftness of the attack against him, nor the seamless collaboration between the 2 who had always tried to kill each other.

As the talisman formation in front of him was torn to shreds, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar retreated rapidly. Even though he was retreating, he discovered that running further was futile against the coordinated encirclement of his opponents.

Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar immediately intensified his extraction of Seven Star Qi from his true body. Starlight gathered from all around, becoming so dense that it formed a misty glow around him. The surrounding void appeared blurred and ethereal.

Sensing the impending danger, Yan Yu abruptly halted his advance, exposing Guan Ziqing, who was charging ahead.

Irritated, Guan Ziqing knew he could not manipulate his world’s energy like a Sage could. Unable to stop his advance as rapidly as Yan Yu, he had no choice but to continue his charge and attempt to face Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar head-on.

However, with a flick of his fingers, Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar gathered the dense starlight around him back to his fingertips, where a pale yellow flame, sparked by the essence of the 7 suns that formed the Big Dipper formation, flickered into existence. Perhaps... Calling the flame Star Fire was a more appropriate expression.

The moment the Star Fire ignited, Guan Ziqing felt as if his inner qi was about to catch fire, causing him great alarm.

But soon, he saw Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar flick his fingers, sending the spark of Star Fire not at him, but through the void at Yan Yu.

Even though he heaved a sigh of relief, Guan Ziqing quickly discovered Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar's mocking gaze.

"The potential of your Spirit Tip World has been excessively depleted. How does True Immortal Guan plan to recover? Are you planning to sacrifice your soul?” Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar's voice echoed in his ears, reverberating through his mind.

Startled, Guan Ziqing shook off the distractions in his mind only to see that Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar had already distanced himself.

His soul had just been completely suppressed by Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar... In fact, his martial will had been greatly shaken.

But was the faltering of his martial will really due to Shang Xia’s words?

Guan Ziqing's expression fluctuated wildly. Who knew the true state of the Spirit Tip World better than he did?

Turning his head, Guan Ziqing saw that the once pea-sized pale yellow flame had ignited a towering inferno around Yan Yu.

Did he... Did he just set fire to the rank seven inner qi in Yan Yu’s domain?!

By then, Yan Yu was no longer as calm as before. As he tried to dodge the flames, the panic on his face caused his expression to twist even further. It was a genuine expression that had been cast by the original owner of the body when he realized his imminent death. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Yan Yu's soul could no longer suppress Yan Xintao’s resistance.

Since he was a safe distance away, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar couldn’t help but burst into schadenfreude laughter, "Alright, let’s see how much longer you can hold on.”

As he spoke, a powerful surge of energy erupted from his body, a sign that his inner qi had returned to its peak state.

Without a word, Yan Xintao, who had regained control of his body, turned to flee.

If the soul strand that Yan Yu had residing in him still had the strength to fight, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Yan Xintao to regain control of his body.

Watching Yan Xintao’s decisive retreat and noticing Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar’s increasingly dangerous gaze, Guan Ziqing also had no choice but to harness the power of his world and retreat back to the Spirit Tip World.

What was left of the Spirit Lyric World’s ruins that had been nearly destroyed by the clash of the 4 Sages suddenly fell quiet.

Everyone from the Spirit Tip World and Essence Du World who had been escaping due to the shockwave, seemed to receive a signal to return to their worlds and they no longer dared to linger any longer.

After some time, the gradually calmed void suddenly rippled again. Another large-scale Star Ship re-entered the nearly obliterated ruins of the Spirit Lyric World, and Hai Yuanyuan, unable to wait, rushed out and quickly found Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar quietly hanging around in the void, drawing in the Power of the Stars.

"Teacher, are you alright?" Hai Yuanyuan approached Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar and asked cautiously.

Opening his eyes from his brief meditation, Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar revealed a flicker of Star Fire in them.

He smiled warmly and pointed to the remains of the Spirit Lyric World ruins, now less than a third of its original size. "Haha, no one will compete with us for this now.”

Hai Yuanyuan followed his gaze but looked slightly disappointed. "I'm afraid there's not much left of value!"

Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar chuckled, looked at the other True Immortals who had also emerged by then, as well as Chu Jia and Xin Lu. “Jiu Yin managed to cling to life for centuries beneath the collapsed Spirit Lyric World for a reason. It’s most likely related to the core of the Spirit Lyric World, which shouldn’t be so easily destroyed.”

Hai Yuanyuan's eyes lit u,p and she gasped, "Could there still be some essence of the Spirit Lyric World's legacy there?"

Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar smiled. "If Jiu Yin preferred to self-destruct in an attempt to take us with him, then what he was protecting has to be extremely precious!"

Hai Yuanyuan immediately turned to return to the Star Ship and yelled loudly, “What are we waiting for?"

However, Song Zhen stepped forward with a hint of regret and resignation. "Sage Shang... Do you think we will make it in time if we call for the Ark that’s back in the Heaven Observation Field?”
