Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1564: No One Brought It up

Leveraging the counterattack of the battle formation, Shang Xia ingeniously integrated the fifth move of his Six Harmony Rod Technique, Breaking World, and his World Establishing Art. He created another obstacle around the Star Origin Dao Field, causing it to tumble away from the Spirit Tinkle World.

Although Shang Xia understood that he couldn’t significantly harm the Star Origin Dao Field with it as he had done before, Zhuo Gudao knew that his plan failed. Even if he went all out and forcefully invaded the Spirit Tinkle World, he would have to pay a huge price.

Zhuo Gudao didn’t stop the Dao Field from tumbling away in the void as they were forced further into the chaotic streams.

Seeing as their opponent was moving further and further away, True Immortal Shao asked doubtfully, "What does this mean? Did we successfully repel the Star Origin Dao Field?"

"No. Zhuo Gudao probably gave up.” Zuo Li said in a solemn voice, as though he had realized something.

While the Star Origin Dao Field tumbled away, the True Immortals naturally followed behind. They found themselves at the edge of the chaotic streams as the Star Origin Dao Field disappeared into the distance

"No matter what, we worked together to fend off the invasion of the Star Origin Dao Field and successfully expelled it from the area around the Spirit Tinkle World!" Kou Chongxue declared loudly.

Zuo Li smiled slightly and added, "Patriarch Kou is right, regardless, the Star Origin Dao Field won’t be coming back! This is a victory for our alliance!"

True Immortal Qu, 1 of the 7 high-level True Immortals forming the combined formation, revealed a tired expression and sighed, "Let's discuss these matters later. Aren’t you exhausted after stopping that beam of starlight?"

Kou Chongxue and Zuo Li were taken aback, only then realizing that in their effort to block the Star Origin Dao Field, their inner qi had been severely depleted.

If even the fifth tier True Immortals felt that way, how would the other True Immortals feel?

Turning around, aside from Qu Guan and True Immortal Shao who were fourth tier True Immortals, the other 3 were third tier True Immortals. 1 of them was from the Spirit Tinkle World and the other 2 were from the Spirit Thistle World. All of them looked completely drained.

Kou Chongxue also noticed Shang Xia’s pale face but considering that before their arrival, he had been fighting the Star Origin Dao Field alone, it was clear he faced immense pressure. He should be many times more tired than them, which explained his pallor.

Turning to Zuo Li, Shang Xia also mumbled, "It seems we need some time to recuperate." @@novelbin@@

Zuo Li nodded and sighed, "For now, all we can do is protect our worlds..."

His words seemed loaded with hidden meaning and Shang Xia looked thoughtfully at the chaotic streams before him.

As for Shang Xia’s pale face... Only about a third of the world origin originally stored in the Crimson Soul Tablet remained. There was no way he was in a good mood! It was world origin from an Essence World and wasn’t easy to come by!

How much did he have to fuck with the Essence Xing World before stealing 20 percent of the world origin from the Tong Cotinent’s World Origin Source?

He fought a newly advanced Sage, a seasoned expert at the grand completion stage of the Martial Void Realm, and faced the encirclement of 6 high-level True Immortals. He stirred up the entire world, causing dozens of True Immortals to prepare to strike him down if given the opportunity.

Would other True Immortals require the world origin of an Essence World? Obviously!

Even if he had the chance to do it again, Shang Xia would probably refuse to take the risk.

...

After expelling the Star Origin Dao Field’s invasion, the other True Immortals from Spirit Thistle World and Spirit Luxuriant World returned to where they came from with the Five Element Teleportation Formation.

Meanwhile, Kou Chongxue, Zuo Li, and those who made up the battle formation didn’t leave. They remained on a floating continent right outside the heavenly screen of the Spirit Tinkle World.

Shang Xia remained with them and did not leave.

Just 3 days later, while those on the floating continent, including Shang Xia, had yet to fully recover, several True Immortals from the Spirit Tinkle World led by True Immortal Ban arrived.

Kou Chongxue, Zuo Li, and the other True Immortals stood up with puzzled expressions. They wanted to step forward to ask for the reason, but True Immortal Shao and the third tier True Immortal from the Spirit Tinkle World joined True Immortal Ban and the rest.

The next second, they took a step forward in unison and bowed deeply to Shang Xia, who had just gotten to his feet.

Shang Xia was initially stunned, then startled as he hastily stepped back.

"That is unnecessary.” Shang Xia forced a smile as he waved his hands awkwardly under the shocked gazes of Kou Chongxue and the True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World.

True Immortal Ban, whose appearance aged yet again due to his involvement in coordinating the grand formation to resist the main strikes of the Star Origin Dao Field, sighed, “How is this unnecessary? If not for True Immortal Shang’s relentless support to hold the Star Origin Dao Field back alone, how can our Spirit Tinkle World resist the Star Origin Dao Field’s offensive until our reinforcements arrive?”

Only then did Kou Chongxue and the rest learn what Shang Xia did before they arrived.

The high-level True Immortals present turned to look at Shang Xia with strange gazes and silence descended on the lands.

Shang Xia could only smile wryly in response.

In just a few breaths of time, he felt as if years had passed.

Finally, Kou Chongxue broke the silence with a shake of his head and a rueful laugh, "Damn brat, just how powerful have you become?"

That was the exact question that filled the minds of those present. However, all of them knew that it wasn’t their place to ask, and Kou Chongxue was the only exception.

Naturally, they knew that it wasn’t appropriate to expect a response from Shang Xia and they quickly went back to talking about something else.

Shang Xia didn’t answer the question either and he took the opportunity to ask Kou Chongxue, "When you received the transmission to come back from the edge of the Essence Ping World, what were the reactions of those from the Star Origin Dao Field? Did they try to stop you guys?”

Before Kou Chongxue could respond, True Immortal Qu laughed and answered, "How can the experts from the Star Origin Lord Manor not know about their plans? Of course they tried... However, they were held back.”

Shang Xia’s eyes widened in shock. "Did the high-level True Immortals from the Spirit Abundance World or Spirit Mammoth World also take action?”

Kou Chongxue nodded. "The high-level True Immortals from both worlds made their move and held back the experts of the Star Origin Lord Manor. The reason the Star Origin Dao Field left so quickly is probably also because they know that their experts won’t be able to make it back in time.”

True Immortal Qu added, "Clearly, neither the Spirit Mammoth World nor the Spirit Abundance World wanted to see the Star Origin Dao Field assimilate the Spirit Tinkle World.”

Zuo Li also interjected, "But obviously, the Star Origin Dao Field is not going to give up. Zhuo Gudao wishes to display the full strength of a Sage and he should be finding a Spirit World to take over. Since the Spirit Tinkle World managed to fend them off, they will definitely set their sights on other worlds.”

"There's no need for speculation now. The Star Origin Dao Field has already taken action. The heavenly screen of Azure Sea World has been opened, and the Star Origin Dao Field has already entered." True Immortal Ban raised a newly received transmission talisman in his hand, emotionlessly informing everyone of the news.

Zuo Li took the communication talisman, probing the message within with his divine soul.

True Immortal Shao was astonished. "An Azure World wouldn’t be enough to support a Dao Field, right? Would that mean that the Azure Star World will also be in danger?”

A grave expression appeared on Kou Chongxue’s face as he understood the meaning behind True Immortal Ban’s reminder. “True Immortal Ban, you said that the heavenly screen was opened... Could it be...”

“The Azure Sea World has surrendered!" Zuo Li exhaled lightly, handing the transmission talisman to Kou Chongxue, "And it seems it was a voluntary surrender. There wasn’t even much conflict, the True Immortals of the Azure Sea World opened the heavenly screen themselves.”

True Immortal Qu looked around with a wry smile. "It’s not really surprising. Without external intervention, any resistance from their Azure Worlds would only cause needless casualties. After all... Against the Star Origin Dao Field, an Azure World wouldn’t be able to put up the slightest resistance.”

True Immortal Shao opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately, nothing came out.

There was no doubt about it. The Star Origin Dao Field’s next target would be the Azure Star World.

After completing the assimilation of two Azure Worlds, the Star Origin Dao Field would at least control a Spirit World. Zhuo Gudao would undoubtedly grow even stronger. With a world to protect their Dao Field, the Dao Field would no longer be Zhuo Gudao’s weakness. It would become part of his strength instead.

"There’s no need to talk more. The ultimate destination of the Star Origin Dao Field is the Essence Ping World. When the time comes, we have to rely on our fists to do the talking.” Zuo Li concluded.

There was something everyone present was ignoring. Among them, there was also another monstrous existence who was close to becoming a Sage. Moreover, his strength had already been proven in real combat against Martial Emptiness Realm Sages...

If Shang Xia could receive the full support from the Spirit Thistle World and Spirit Tinkle World, he might be able to quickly enter the Seven Star Realm. The Star Origin Dao Field’s advantage of having a Sage would no longer matter. All their problems would be solved...

However, the True Immortals of the various worlds didn’t mention anything, and neither did Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia.

At that moment, everyone was carefully maintaining the harmony of the alliance. It had been 3 days since they forced the Star Origin Dao Field to leave, and no one wished to agitate the situation.
