Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1575: Exchange, Entering the Essence Ping World Again

The heavenly screen of the Essence Ping World was hidden in the void.

Because of the battle between the battle formations and the Martial Emptiness Realm clones of the Star Origin Lord, the void had already shattered and turned into a region of broken space.

Shang Xia, along with Zuo Li, Kou Chongxue, and others, quickly passed through the fragmented space to approach the edge of the battlefield.

"Don't be fooled by the destroyed void. The moment the battle ends, the void will recover and the heavenly screen will be hidden once again.” Zuo Li explained to Shang Xia, "In fact, the battle formations of our various factions had destroyed the void here more than once.”

Shang Xia nodded but his response was somewhat perfunctory. "I can imagine!"

His attention had been drawn to the battle in the distance.

The 7 True Immortals from the Spirit Mammoth World who made up the battle formation were all high-level True Immortals. Although his senses were affected by the spatial fluctuations, Shang Xia could roughly make out their cultivation realms. Among them were a sixth tier True Immortal, 3 fifth tier True Immortals, and 3 fourth tier True Immortals.

Shang Xia recognized a few of them like the fifth tier True Immortal, Hong Xian and Xuan Bo, and the fourth tier True Immortal, Li Liu.

Even though the Spirit Mammoth World called for outside help, it was unlikely they would allow the others to overshadow them. As such, the sixth tier True Immortal was most definitely one of theirs.

The 3 World Alliance quickly spoke among each other and the identities of the True Immortals of the Spirit Mammoth World were soon made clear. There was also a fourth tier True Immortal, Liao Qionglou from their Spirit Mammoth World.

That person had rarely been seen in their battle formation. He was probably a hidden expert However, he was someone who had advanced long ago and wasn’t like Luan Jingyi.

As for the sixth tier True Immortal, Zou Shanhai... Shang Xia was right. He was a True Immortal of the Spirit Mammoth World.

That would mean 2 of the 7 members of the battle formation were from other worlds. They were in the fifth tier and fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm respectively.

The might that was unleashed by the battle formation consisting of 7 high-level True Immortals had already shocked everyone present. Facing 2 clones at the Martial Emptiness Realm, they might be defending most of the time, but they didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage. They were fighting on pretty much equal grounds.

While the True Immortals of the 3 World Alliance were watching, the high-level True Immortals of the Spirit Mammoth World also noticed their arrival.

Zou Shanhai, the most powerful expert among them who was commanding the Spirit Mammoth World’s battle formation spoke suddenly, "Fellow True Immortals of the 3 World Alliance, you are slow to arrive. Are you planning to sit by and watch?”

Zuo Li called out, "True Immortal Zou jests. We are merely astonished by the strength of your battle formation. Moreover, we’re not the only ones who came!”

Though that was what he said, all of them approached the heavenly screen from another direction. They kept their distance with the Spirit Mammoth World’s battle formation to avoid any misunderstandings.

Naturally, Shang Xia moved with the others of his alliance. However, he could sense that there were 2 sets of eyes on him. Zou Shanhai was staring directly at him while the other belonged to the foreign fourth tier True Immortal of their battle formation. The fourth tier True Immortal’s gaze carried enmity and murderous intent.

Shang Xia was no stranger to the Spirit Mammoth World. Even though he hid his cultivation, he had already displayed the might of a True Immortal at the level of Extreme Harmonization when the drama with the Yuhai Sect and the Star Origin Dao Field played out. Everyone knew that he was a sixth tier True Immortal. It didn’t matter if he had entered the grand completion stage or not. Everyone would pay attention to him regardless.

As the members of the Star Origin Lord Manor arrived the attention of those from the Spirit Mammoth World’s battle formation was quickly diverted.

As the 7 True Immortals of the 3 World Alliance got closer to the heavenly screen, they began to store their energy in their battle formation.

While Shang Xia appeared to be merely accompanying them, he was actually observing everything within the turbulent space like an outsider.

The arrival of the True Immortals from the Star Origin Lord Manor naturally caught Shang Xia's attention. Most of them were people he was familiar with anyway.

The first were the fifth tier True Immortals, Pei Lu and Yuan Yan, followed by the fourth tier True Immortals, Chang Kun, Dou Jie, and Tong Yutang. 2 of whom had suffered significant losses in his hands. Especially Dou Jie, who had just recovered and entered the operation. No one knew how he managed to maintain his cultivation realm, but they knew that it was probably impossible for him to grow stronger again.

The other third tier True Immortals looked familiar, but Shang Xia could tell that they weren’t from the Star Origin Guards. They were probably experts who had been hiding in the Star Origin Lord Manor.

Shang Xia might not be familiar with them, but Zuo Li, Kou Chongxue, and the others were.

"There haven’t been many changes to the high-level True Immortal lineup of the Star Origin Dao Field with the exception of Tong Yutang.” Shang Xia casually remarked.

Kou Chongxue responded, "Do you think high-level True Immortals appear easily? Especially for long-established powers like the Spirit Mammoth World, Spirit Abundance World, and Star Origin Dao Field... The high-level combatants are basically the same and the emergence of every high-level True Immortal almost always upsets the existing balance. It’s almost impossible to achieve such a status on their own.”

After entering the area, the members of the Star Origin Lord Manor also quickly grasped the situation. Although they were also shocked by the strength shown by the Spirit Mammoth World’s battle formation, they quickly chose to approach the heavenly screen from another direction like the experts of the 3 World Alliance.

Though all of them couldn’t be considered allies, all of them shared a surprising level of tacit understanding when targeting the Essence Ping World and the Star Origin Lord.

"Be careful, the Star Origin Lord’s clones have already arrived outside the heavenly screen...” Kou Chongxue's warning quickly refocused Shang Xia's scattered attention.

Surprised, Shang Xia turned back and noticed a middle-aged cultivator appearing in the void ahead. This person had a broad forehead and a bulbous nose. He had an unremarkable appearance and somewhat vacant eyes. Despite being a clone, his body was solid and lifelike. It was indistinguishable from a real person.

That instant, Zuo Li who commanded the battle formation thrust his hands out. Even Shang Xia felt that they traveled a significant distance in the void.

The clone of the Star Origin Lord reacted instantly. The starlight around him seemed to be sucked towards him. However, the starlight didn’t seem to be particularly dazzling. Instead, it looked pretty gentle.

However, when the cluster of starlight exploded from the clone’s palm, thousands of rays burst forth, shredding the energy contained in Zuo Li’s palm from the battle formation.

Zuo Li was unfazed. Both sides had already fought several times and though each was different, he had a good understanding of their reaction and battle tactics.

The moment Zuo Li’s attack was neutralized, Kou Chongxue wielded his Hidden Frost Sword and burst forth behind him, cutting through the myriad starlight and flew straight at the clone.

While Kou Chongxue's skills were top-notch, he didn’t have time to properly gather his strength and his attack was slightly shy of the power contained in Zuo Li’s initial strike.

Judging that Kou Chongxue’s attack was pretty limited in might, he reached his hand into the air to meet the edge of the sword.

When they clashed, the Star Origin Lord’s clone staggered back slightly. Using the impact, he quickly changed his position to attack from another direction.

Kou Chongxue’s figure swayed back and forth as he relied on the power of the battle formation to dissolve the backlash of the clash.

The long-term combat experience allowed the 7 True Immortals to coordinate extremely well, instantly focusing all their energy on contending with the Star Origin Lord’s clone.

They didn’t realize Shang Xia, who had been accompanying them all along, had disappeared without a trace.
