Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 333: Turning the Tables

…

“How… How can you be…” Ancestor Yun Lu’s gaze was filled with equal parts shock and fear, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.

Even so, the fright in his voice managed to attract the attention of the Martial Extermination Realm experts in the surroundings. After all, how often would a Martial Dipper Realm expert be frightened by something?

They stopped fighting in an instant as they quickly flew further away from him in case something unexpected happened.

Before they could look at the existence who shocked Ancestor Yun Lu so much, the skies rumbled as another frightened cry came from the southwest. “Kou Chongxue, how are you here?!”

The Martial Dipper Realm expert who was unwilling to reveal his identity the whole time while fighting with Ji Wenlong seemed to have detected Kou Chongxue’s presence right after Ancestor Yun Lu. He couldn’t contain his shock at all!

Kou Chongxue!

That name was an utter nightmare for every single Martial Extermination Realm cultivator who wasn’t from the You Continent!

The moment his name was spoken, many Martial Extermination Realm experts who came to attack the Tongyou Institution had half a mind to turn tail and run.

“Hmph, what’s there to be afraid of?” Ancestor Yun Lu snorted heavily after suppressing his initial shock. In fact, he seemed to become even more unperturbed than before.

Even with Kou Chongxue’s hand holding on to the Hidden Frost Sword, the connection between the bridge and the Tongyou Mysterious World hadn’t been broken.

“Hehe, just a little ant struggling at death’s door. How strong are you now? Do you really think that you can change the situation with your measly strength?” Ancestor Yun Lu quickly reverted to his original behavior. His calm demeanor quickly roused those who were thinking of retreating.

“Yeah, that’s right! Kou Chongxue was ambushed twice! With Ancestor Yun Lu here, there’s nothing for us to be afraid of!”

“Even though we don’t know how he managed to avoid everyone’s detection to hide in the Tongyou Mysterious World, he’s dead now that he dares to show himself!”

“Hehe, everyone might be a little wary of the Tongyou Institution if he refused to show himself. Now that he revealed his presence, he’s asking to die! What a fool!”

“This… Do you think that he managed to regain his strength?”

“Ahem… How can that be possible? Can’t you see that Ancestor Yun Lu is standing strong against him?”

“...”

As the Martial Extermination Realm experts who were attacking the Tongyou Institution broke out into discussion, the voice of the Martial Dipper Realm expert from the Southwest rang through the air again. “Hah! This old man was nearly fooled by you! You can’t hide your condition from us! We verified that you lost control over your fate dippers in the previous battle! Haha! Luckily I wasn’t fooled into retreating the moment you appeared!”

Ancestor Yun Lu’s expression changed when he heard what the other Martial Dipper Realm expert said. The Martial Extermination Realm experts who were attacking the Tongyou Institution also revealed weird expressions.

No matter what, the Martial Dipper Realm expert from the southwest was a peak tier existence in the Azure Origin World. Why did his words sound so cheap? Wasn’t he smearing his reputation?

Ji Wenlong snorted in disdain after hearing what he said. “So you’re Feng Yezi, the Wind Walking Sage! My Tongyou Institution didn’t offend you before. What’s the meaning of this?”

The expressions of those from the Tongyou Institution changed when they heard Ji Wenlong calling out Feng Yezi’s name. As for the others, some of them revealed looks of suspicion while others revealed a look of realization.

The only person whose expression didn’t change was Ancestor Yun Lu. He seemed to have guessed Feng Yezi’s identity already.

At the same time, Kou Chongxue didn’t say anything. He didn’t seem surprised by Feng Yezi’s appearance.

After Ji Wenlong’s yell, the voice from the southwest quietened down. However, that didn’t mean that his attacks stopped. Ji Wenlong’s battle with him continued.

The voice only came back after a short pause. This time, there was a trace of helplessness in it. “Hmm. I didn’t expect this either. All I wanted was to obtain some benefits from the situation. I don’t have any intentions of harming any of you.”

It seemed as though he was already making up excuses for Kou Chongxue who hadn’t shown his face.

On the rose-colored bridge, Ancestor Yun Lu pressed his lips together in irritation. “Enough! Feng Yezi, what are you thinking about right now? Are you already planning to meet Kou Chongxue after the battle today? What’s there to explain?!”

Who would have thought that the world origin that was sucked away from the Tongyou Mysterious World would flow back into the bridge? The energy quickly gathered under Ancestor Yun Lu.

His figure that was starting to turn illusory earlier became extremely sturdy as his aura became frighteningly powerful. A strange phenomenon appeared above his head, and it was somewhat similar to when the Origin Tide erupted earlier.

“Everyone, the spatial tunnel leading to the battlefield between the two worlds has been sealed. With his serious injuries, this is our best shot at killing Kou Chongxue!” Ancestor Yun Lu roared as the clouds in the skies were torn apart by the soundwave.

A weapon that resembled a deer’s antlers appeared in Ancestor Yun Lu’s hand as he charged at the Tongyou Mysterious World.

Tearing a massive hole in the protection barrier around the Tongyou Mysterious World, Ancestor Yun Lu revealed the figure who had been hiding in there all along. He was standing in the midst of several rock formations and reservoirs of water as he stared at the opening torn open by Ancestor Yun Lu. His appearance couldn’t be more ordinary, and his dressing was a little shabby. However, he didn’t reveal the slightest trace of emotions when he saw Ancestor Yun Lu.

“That… That’s the Mountain and Sea Fantasy Spiritual World that used to be in the Mysterious Coral World!” Many Martial Extermination Realm experts recognized the region.

“Kou Chongxue!” Practically everyone’s gaze was drawn to the figure standing there.

“Hahaha! I must have accumulated plenty of good fortune in my past lives for me to be able to take your life today, Kou Chongxue!” Ancestor Yun Lu roared. Even though he was assured of his victory, he still showed some respect to Kou Chongxue.

A chuckle left Kou Chongxue’s lips suddenly. “Brother Yun Lu, are you certain you can kill me? Aren’t you afraid that you have misjudged the situation?”

“Hah. This old man lived for a hundred years more than you. You’re just a junior. For you to address me like that, I’m offended! However, It’s alright. My current body is a mere clone. Even if I have to sacrifice this clone to kill you, it’s worth it!”

The two of them seemed like old friends from the way they spoke, but everyone around could tell that they wanted nothing more than to send each other to the depths of hell the moment they had the chance.

“Hehe, sacrificing your clone to kill me is a pity indeed. Brother Yun Lu, you only managed to create this clone with your fate dipper. Why don’t you leave it behind to compensate me for my losses today?”

Kou Chongxue waved his hand and a sharp whistle came from the Hidden Frost Sword he had retrieved from the void earlier.

Many Martial Extermination Realm experts felt the danger when Kou Chongxue started to wield his sword and retreated quickly.

Unfortunately, some of them didn’t move quickly enough. Their divine sense trembled and they felt as though someone slammed a sledgehammer into their souls. Blood poured from their orifices as they forced themselves to hurry away from the Tongyou Mysterious World desperately.

The Hidden Frost Sword drew a perfect arc through the skies, cleaving a massive chunk off Ancestor Yun Lu’s weapon. His movements were so fast that many Martial Extermination Realm experts were unable to catch a glimpse of his blade.

“He… He’s able to fight!” The same thought flashed through the minds of everyone present. That included those from the Tongyou Institution.

“You actually have the ability to fight back… Impressive indeed!” Ancestor Yun Lu roared.

Kou Chongxue’s laughter filled the skies as he replied, “Hahaha! I was in a hopeless situation before. The balance between my fate dippers had been broken and I was a step away from entering the underworld. Who would have thought that a little brat’s suggestion would be all it took for me to hold on till today? Looks like I will have to disappoint all of you today!”

Snorting once, Ancestor Yun Lu cried out to Feng Yezi. “Old man Feng, How long do you plan to mess around for?!”

While he spoke, he smashed his weapon down at Kou Chongxue. The exchange between two Martial Dipper Realm experts instantly tore the Mountain and Sea Fantasy Spiritual World to shreds.

“AYAYAYA!” A strange cry came from Feng Yezi and he started his desperate attack.

A gray bag appeared in the air above the Tongyou Mysterious World. To be exact, it appeared right above Ji Wenlong.

As the bag opened, Ji Wenlong could no longer care about fighting with Feng Yezi. He sent a strong slash upwards in an attempt to cleave the bag in two. Unfortunately, the bag released a burst of air at that moment and it greatly reduced the power in Ji Wenlong’s strike.

When Ji Wenlong was distracted by the gray bag, a withered hand extended out from the void and it grabbed at the Tongyou Mysterious World, tearing a massive hole through the barrier. World origin poured out at a frightening rate.

“How dare you!” Ji Wenlong growled as his blade came slashing down at that hand.

The hand dissipated the moment Ji Wenlong’s attack arrived, causing him to strike at air.

The gray bag that was slightly deflected by Ji Wenlong earlier appeared at the opening the hand tore earlier. A strong suction force appeared and it drew in the world origin that was leaking along with tens of treasures that had been nurtured by the Tongyou Mysterious World earlier.

Just as Feng Yezi succeeded, the skies above the Tongyou Mysterious World lit up before a deafening silence descended onto the lands.

Ancestor Yun Lu’s figure started to shatter, and everyone could see the bewildered expression on his face as he disappeared.
