Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1579: Star Origin Lord’s Rage, World Awakening

How quickly could the Crimson Soul Tablet absorb world origin?

Shang Xia had no idea, but he knew that in the World Origin Source of the Essence Xing World, he managed to absorb 30 percent of the world origin it contained in just a short while.

Shang Xia was also curious to know just how fast the Crimson Soul Tablet could devour the world origin of an Essence World when he didn’t try to limit it.

The opportunity to verify his guess had arrived!

Actually, when he first encountered the Star Origin Lord’s clone, Shang Xia had already started to look for the best place to start absorbing world origin from the World Origin Source. However, after crushing the clone, he realized that things weren’t as simple as stabbing the Crimson Soul Tablet into the World Origin Source to start the process.

The clone didn’t just draw world origin from the World Origin Source. He even drew on the consciousness of his true body through the connected channels!

The real purpose the clone had been buying time was to gather enough strands of consciousness in order to break through the limit to become a Sage! Also, with the additional strands of souls, he would be able to control more power.

Unfortunately for the Star Origin Lord's clone, Shang Xia acted decisively. He didn’t wait for the clone to grow too strong before smashing it with the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet.

Not only that, but thanks to the characteristics of Shang Xia's Six Direction Qi and the functions of the Crimson Soul Tablet, he managed to annihilate the soul contained in the clone!

That was the real terror of Shang Xia’s self-created special art.

If he wasn’t able to do that, the Star Origin Lord’s soul would return to the World Origin Source the moment the clone was destroyed and another clone would be created instantly.

Without a doubt, his actions had significantly increased the time for the clone to reappear. However, the only downside to destroying a strand of the Star Origin Lord’s soul was that he might attract the attention of the man himself.

Well, Shang Xia couldn’t be bothered with those matters. From a certain perspective, distracting the Star Origin Lord was a way to weaken him.

Of course, everything was contingent on Shang Xia being able to leave the Essence Ping World in one piece.

Meanwhile, as the Crimson Soul Tablet devoured world origin from the Essence Ping World recklessly, Shang Xia could clearly sense the consciousness of the Star Origin Lord strengthening. It was as though his vast consciousness was about to awaken and alarm bells were ringing louder and louder in Shang Xia’s mind. It was as though an even more powerful clone would appear before him the next moment.

Realizing that danger had arrived, he knew that it was time to go. He had to leave the Essence Ping World immediately, or he might never be able to leave!

Shang Xia reached out and withdrew the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet from the World Origin Source. When it disappeared, Shang Xia discovered that even though world origin was pouring in from other continents, he managed to absorb at least 50 percent of the world origin in the World Origin Source connected to the continent he was on.

He had no hesitation as he activated the Six Harmony Teleportation Talisman he was holding. The next moment, he disappeared into the void behind him.

At the same time, Kou Chongxue, who was engaging with the Star Origin Lord's clone above the heavenly screen, sensed something and saw a communication talisman rush through the battlefield before exploding into a burst of colorful light.

In such a vast and intense battlefield, the aftermath of the battle could obliterate any means of communication. However, the talisman that was used didn’t seem to possess any content. It was just a pre-arranged signal between Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue.

Upon seeing the burst of colorful radiance, Kou Chongxue immediately relayed a message to the other True Immortals in their battle formation, urging them to retreat quickly.

However... They had just gained an upper hand in the engagement with the Martial Emptiness Realm clone and if things continued that way, they might be able to defeat it and plunder the world origin it contained. They would be able to achieve their goal of weakening the Essence Ping World and the Star Origin Lord, and none of them was willing to leave.

That was how Kou Chongxue and the others had been progressing in their cultivation in recent years anyway. At the very least, Kou Chongxue had nearly reached the level of Extreme Harmonization that way.

Defeating a clone of the Star Origin Lord was never easy. The battle formation of the 3 World Alliance only had a 30 to 50 percent chance of victory, and the battle would last several days. It wasn’t even uncommon for it to last tens of days. After all... Even if the clone was defeated, it would not be completely destroyed. It could also escape back to the Essence Ping World. A good portion of the energy the clone contained would also return to the world. It wasn’t easy for them to gain an advantage over the clone and no one wanted to back off even with Kou Chognxue’s signal.

Unable to persuade them, Kou Chongxue was helpless. He could only threaten them to leave the battle formation.

Doing so naturally caused displeasure among the other True Immortals, but seeing how adamant he was, they could only back off, leaving the injured clone alone.

After the True Immortals of the 3 World Alliance left, the clone quickly dove below the heavenly screen.

If Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia were unable to provide a reasonable explanation, an irreparable rift was bound to appear within the 3 World Alliance.

Fortunately, the other True Immortals did not have to wait long before to see the change happen. The edge of the space that was concealing the heavenly screen started to fluctuate violently and brilliant starlight emerged from the Essence Ping World. More than 80 percent of the heavenly screen glowed with starlight and the remaining part shone with a frost light. The part that wasn’t covered by starlight was precisely where the Spirit Abundance World was.

The next moment, a small portion of the heavenly screen that was covered in starlight dimmed. The frosty glow that barely maintained its luster over the small piece of heavenly screen took the chance to reoccupy its territory.

Everywhere else that was covered in starlight started to flicker violently, and it was as though the world was pulsing in anger. A terrifying aura seemed to emerge from the world, striking fear into the hearts of everyone who was present. It was as though the world would awaken the very next moment.
