Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1749: 3 Against The World, Horrifying Combat Strength Pt.2

Chapter 1749: 3 Against The World, Horrifying Combat Strength Pt.2

...

Long before the start of the battle, when the ships were still traveling in the chaotic streams...

Deep in the massive spatial vortex in the Chaotic Sea of Stars, the Spirit Ruling World that completed its ascension some time ago, managed to reach a strange balance with the Spirit Frost World which was also trapped within.

The balance, once established, allowed the Spirit Worlds to jointly resist the pull of the chaotic streams, thereby avoiding being drawn into the great spatial vortex.

The leaders of the once Twin Star Pirates, the Ying Brothers, became the patriarchs of the Twin Star Sect of the Spirit Ruling World. They were suddenly disturbed by a massive tremor in the World Origin Source.

It didn’t take long for him to find the source of the disturbance. The massive fluctuations also brought the other True Immortal-level beasts of the Spirit Ruling World also arrived.

Those spiritual creatures, having reached the Martial Void Realm, had a closer affinity to the World Origin Source than the Ying Brothers.

“It’s Sage Shang’s Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar!”

"Indeed... Does Sage Shang wish to retrieve the pillar? Is he coming over now?”

"I’m afraid... It’s about to fly away on its own!”

"Hiss... A Sage actually has such power? How far is the Heaven Observation Field from our world?”

The next moment, the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar that assisted the Spirit Ruling World’s ascension, started to shrink. It eventually became a staff that was 10 feet long while hovering in the skies. After spinning once around the Ying Brothers’ head, it flew out of the heavenly screen and disappeared into the void.

"A Sage... Is really terrifying...”

...

When Kou Chongxue trapped the 3 Sages in his sword domain, he actually did so because he had no other choice.

Even though they tried to prepare for the worst case, Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue didn’t expect so many Sages to appear the moment the Jiuyin Ark appeared.

Kou Chongxue's initial task was to buy time. He was supposed to hold back a Sage of two until the Jiuyin Ark entered the heavenly screen.

However, he ended up suppressing 3 clones despite not having fully recovered.

Fortunately, the Spirit Luxuriant World was about to complete its ascension. The strength of their Elysium Grand Formation and the support of their World’s Will were much stronger than the Spirit Tip World, allowing Kou Chongxue to suppress 3 clones without much difficulty.

However, his sudden increase in strength wasn’t sustainable. All 3 clones far surpassed Yan Yu in cultivation and skills as well. They naturally had richer methods and quicker reactions. It was no surprise they managed to break out of his sword domain.

With Chen Ji tearing through the sword domain and attacking Kou Chongxue, all 3 Sages within reached a quick agreement. They would team up and kill Kou Chongxue first. Once they did, they would be able to eliminate a Sage-level combatant of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Watching his sword domain crumbling, a rainbow colored light suddenly stained his sword domain and created a soft mist. At the crucial moment, Kou Chongxue activated a Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman.

Kou Chongxue had been given 2 of them by Shang Xia when he infiltrated the Spirit Tip World to assist his Origin Star Avatar. He used 1 during his assault on the Yulin Sect, and the second talisman came in handy at the critical moment in the battle around the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Chen Ji's clone’s strike failed to completely shatter his sword domain. The next second, he felt a chill coming from behind and quickly turned around to face the danger.

Unable to care about Kou Chongxue in such a situation, he swung a jade staff to stop the incoming attack.

A loud chime rang through the void as Sage Chen Ji felt the jade staff in his hand becoming a lot lighter than it was supposed to be. His artifact snapped in half and his last memory was a beam of starlight that came from the depths of the void.

In the massive brawl that involved so many Sages, Chen Ji, a second star Sage from the Essence Xing World was the second to fall!

A massive wave of energy spread through the void and it was attracted by an invisible yet omnipresent force, forming a tide of energy flowing into the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Earlier, Yuan Ping’s clone had already been destroyed by Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar. However, because it was done using the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet, all his energy was absorbed by the weapon. Only a small portion that leaked out was drawn to the Spirit Luxuriant World. novelbuddy.cσ๓

After Shang Xia messed up and failed to summon the Crimson Soul Tablet, he reacted a little slower. However, that didn’t stop him from redistributing his Seven Star Qi, regaining his cultivation at the second star of the Seven Star Realm!

Compared to Chen Ji’s clone’s death, Shang Xia’s sudden revelation of his cultivation realm shocked every single Sage present.

"How has he already reached the second star?! The Spirit Luxuriant World’s transformation isn’t even complete yet! This doesn’t make sense!”

"How did he manage it?"

“What secret is he hiding?”

Shang Xia raced to his Origin Star Avatar, and despite the distance between them, he tapped at the void before him, sending a beam of starlight over. It shot at Gu Yi’s blood descendant.

Engaged in a battle against Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar, Gu Yi was caught off guard by a sudden attack from Shang Xia’s true body.

Had Gu Yi been present, he might have chosen to give up and let his descendant die while killing Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar.

Unfortunately, his descendant’s soul was still dormant in his body. Gu Yi couldn’t just send him to his death. Even if he could suppress the soul for the time being, when it came to a life-threatening crisis, his combat strength would be affected regardless. When that happened, he might not be able to kill Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar anyway.

With no choice, Gu Yi had to stop to face the beam of starlight.

That was a genuine strike from a second star Sage. He had to face it with everything he had.

Originally, there were 4 clones at the peak of the first star surrounding Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar. The sudden entry of the Star Origin Lord’s clone at the last second earlier seemed to turn the tides against Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar.

With the Star Origin Lord’s clone’s attention focused fully on the Origin Star Robe, he reached out in an attempt to tear it from the avatar’s body.

After forcing Gu Yi back for the time being, Shang Xia seemed a little too late to help his avatar. Still tens of thousands of miles away from the battlefield, Shang Xia roared, “Staff... Come!”

“Come...”

As his voice echoed in the void, the originally dark void was filled with endless starlight. The 7 suns arranged in the Big Dipper formation burned bright, forming a mighty tunnel of starlight where a rod that was 10 feet or so long descended.

Like an arrow shot from a bow formed by great stars with starlight as the bowstring, the rod stabbed straight through the Star Origin Lord’s clone who failed to react in time. His figure was pinned in the void.
