Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 521: Proclaiming Victory

With 2 Golden Sun Inferno Talismans, Shang Xia stopped Mister Ren for a moment. Shang Xia released a Four Seasons Palm at Elder Zhuang.

With that palm strike, he stopped Elder Zhuang from interfering with the battle between Elder Hu and Yun Jing. At the same time, he was sent flying in their direction.

If anyone else was in his position, they would be turned to mush by the shockwaves of the battle between 2 fourth layer Martial Extermination Realm experts. Even so, Elder Zhuang who was sent flying in the opposite direction felt a bad premonition filling his heart.

He suddenly realized that everything the foreign cultivator did might have been part of his master plan. It was possible he wanted to use the collision of their attacks to send himself into the other battlefield!

As he soared through the air, Shang Xia could feel two different auras pushing him away! That was what he was looking for in the first place!

He ignored the fact that his extermination origins were forced back into his body from the pressure and the fact that there were 8 different strands of extermination origins corroding his body. Gnashing his teeth, he retrieved his Abyssal Blade and released another move from his Twenty Four Solar Terms, Blaze Resolution! He was inspired by the 14th solar term and it forcefully carved out a region void of any foreign qi in the middle of such a high level battlefield.

Even though it only provided a temporary respite from the shockwaves of the battle, it was enough!

With nothing to stop him, Shang Xia tossed out another Divine Restraint Talisman.

Elder Hu had already been suppressed to the point he couldn’t breathe under Yun Jing’s terrifying offensive and he had been pushed to his limit a long time ago. He couldn’t split apart his divine perception to care about anything else!

It was basically a forgone conclusion that Shang Xia’s Divine Restraint Talisman would hit its target because of the state Elder Hu was in.

He might have felt a sense of danger approaching, but he couldn’t pull back any part of his energy to deal with it. The moment he did, Yun Jing would immediately rain down blows on him. With her current strength, it would mean death!

He was in serious trouble whether he retracted his energy to deal with the threat that just appeared, he would die! If he didn’t he would probably also die…

In an instant, the expert from the Manyu Continent was thrown into a massive dilemma. Eventually, he chose to ignore Shang Xia’s Talisman.

Striking its target, Shang Xia’s Divine Restraint Talisman activated immediately and froze Elder Hu’s physical body and soul.

The extermination light around Yun Jing’s body ripped apart his defenses in an instant and stabbed deep into all four of his limbs.

From afar, it seemed as though a massive spider made from heaven and earth qi appeared in the air before trapping Elder Hu. It even looked like it would devour his brain the next instant.

Because of his superior cultivation realm, Elder Hu managed to shatter the restraint the moment Yun Jing tore through his extermination origin defense earlier.

The Divine Restraint Talisman might be powerful, but its effects were greatly weakened against experts with exceptional cultivation.

It was a pity that getting rid of the restraints on him didn’t stop his opponents’ attacks. The very next instant, terrifying rays of light that resembled stabbed into his limbs.

“Argh!” The intense pain caused him to release a loud roar as a strong wave of inner qi emerged from his body to shatter the four colored extermination lights that turned him into a human skewer earlier. Four massive holes were left in his body.

A soft breeze emerged from nowhere the next moment and blade light fell against him in a torrential downpour. Every one of them contained a frightening power and before Elder Hu could react, they entered his wounds and went into his bloodstream.

The attack arrived silently and without any warning. It was a move Shang Xia had performed back in the Sixth Pass of the Taihang Mountains, Valley Rain!

“Preposterous! You’re despicable!” Elder Hu was heavily injured by Yun Jing because of Shang Xia’s talisman, and he had to take on Shang Xia’s sneak attack the next moment. He could tell that the extermination qi that entered his body was going to be a pain in the ass to remove.

His wounds grew larger and larger and his injuries became worse at a speed visible to the naked eye. The flow of his inner qi was also disrupted by Shang Xia’s Valley Rain and he seemed to be on the brink of losing control of his energy.

After everything that happened, assistance finally arrived.

Mister Ren finally dealt with the massive sea of flames created by 2 Golden Sun Inferno Talismans and Elder Zhuang managed to destroy any remnant energy in Shang Xia’s Four Seasons Palm before heading over.

The two of them arrived beside Elder Hu one after another and they regrouped quickly. At the very least, they could rely on each other and wouldn’t lose so easily.

With the battle progressing up to such a point, there was no stopping till the experts on one side were eliminated. Neither side would show mercy!

Yun Jing succeeded in her attack earlier and heavily injured Elder Hu, but she was similarly exhausted. Suppressing her injuries, Yun Jing forcefully circulated her extermination origins and sent two beams of light at Elder Zhuang and Mister Ren.

Shang Xia, who was injured by the shockwaves of the battle when he inserted himself into the battlefield earlier, was vomiting out mouthfuls of blood as he retrieved a green-colored talisman.

The moment he revealed the existence of another rank four talisman, Elder Hu nearly lost control of his inner qi and was a step away from entering cultivation deviation. Even Yun Jing couldn’t believe her eyes as she nearly lost control of her attack.

Everyone present was actually terrified of Shang Xia and his talismans at that point in time.

There was no need to mention Elder Hu, Elder Zhuang, or Mister Ren. Even Yun Jing who was from the Tongyou Institution never experienced someone throwing out several rank four talismans in a single fight.

Rank four talismans were basically extinct in the Manyu Continent, but even in the Azure Origin World, they weren’t cabbages that grew by the roadside.

From Kou Chongxue’s explanation before they entered the Manyu Continent, the Azure Origin World was barely a little bit stronger!

Yun Jing realized that no matter how high her evaluations of Shang Xia were previously, she had still underestimated the kid. He basically turned the entire war around the moment he arrived! She knew that the number of rank four talismans he used was far from what she witnessed.

However, the members of the Manyu Continent soon realized that they had been played by Shang Xia. With close to 8 talismans flying at them, they knew that there was no way all of them were rank four talismans. At best, they were rank two or three talismans.

Even if Shang Xia had so many rank four talismans on him, he wouldn’t be able to use them all at once! After all, he needed to activate them with his inner qi... The inner qi they consumed was no small amount!

Despite those being lower-leveled talismans, The countless wind blades, ice swords, fireballs, and lightning bolts that filled the air before descending on the experts of the Manyu Continent was like the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Elder Hu, who had been forcefully holding on to wait for the others’ assistance, couldn’t circulate his inner qi any longer. As the mighty fourth layer Martial Extermination Realm expert, he would never expect to be slain by an enemy who pelted low-ranked talismans on him!

He could no longer use his extermination origins to protect himself and mustering everything he had, he struggled to stop the attacks raining down on him. Because of his lack of concentration, Shang Xia’s extermination qi continued to wreak havoc in his body and it eventually arrived at his heart.

Blood poured out from every orifice of Elder Hu’s body but a vicious look remained in his eyes. Even at the very last second when blood started to seep out from pores, he was still trying to glare at Shang Xia. He died a miserable death and Shang Xia paid a similarly large price for it.

After Elder Hu’s death, Shang Xia used up so much inner qi that he was nearly unable to maintain his ability to fly. He relied solely on the ability of his Auspicious Cloud Cape to approach Elder Hu before beheading him with the Abyssal Blade. Gathering all the remnant Four Constellation Qi, he roared, “This asshole Hu is dead! What the hell are you guys still doing?!”

“Hu Wendao is dead and so is Zhang Tianji. Are you guys still planning to fight us?!” Yun Jing’s roar also ripped through the air. And it spread hundreds of miles away.

Clearly, she knew the names of their enemies. Hu Wendao was the fourth layer Martial Extermination Realm expert of the Manyu Continent and Zhang Tianji was the third layer Martial Extermination Realm expert who was killed by Shang Xia the moment he appeared.

After yelling, Yun Jing’s gaze was locked on Elder Zhuang and Mister Ren.

The scene of Shang Xia holding Hu Wendao’s head struck a blow in Elder Zhuang and Mister Ren’s hearts.

Looking at Shang Xia and Yun Jing who looked like they were about to fall over from exhaustion, they felt that they would be able to win the battle after dragging it out a little more. However, what if something went wrong?

What if the 2 of them could last a little longer and were merely putting up an act to fool them?

Even Hu Wendao was killed!

No one knew how much Elder Zhuang and Mister Ren tried to convince themselves, but their train of thought was broken by a cold chuckle from Yun Jing.

Her extermination origins continued to circle around her to prevent the 2 of them from approaching.

Shang Xia also snorted coldly as he retrieved a flask from his sleeves before taking a huge swig.

Before any of them could decide on what to do next, Shang Lubing’s voice rang through the air from 20 miles away. He sounded pretty excited as he spoke. “Guo Feng, Yu Jiayu, and Li Chunlan have been slain by us too! Do you guys still wish to fight?!”

Shang Lubing’s voice seemed to come from the east, and another yell quickly came from the south. Liu Qinglan might sound like she was trying to catch her breath, but her voice rang loud and clear in the ears of everyone present. “Wu Taikun is dead too! Do you guys still wish to fight?!”

The cries didn’t stop there. From the west, Shang Ke’s voice rumbled like thunder. “Xiao Wubai. Cai Lianshan, and Lan Xuanyang have fallen. Do you guys still wish to fight?!”

A powerless voice also arrived from a different direction. Even though he sounded like he was utterly exhausted, he couldn’t hide the trace of delight he felt. “Haha… Hahaha! Fan Degong is also dead! Do you guys… Still wish to fight?!”

The person who spoke was definitely someone from the Tongyou Institution. From his voice, it wasn’t hard to hear that he was heavily injured. He was heavily injured, but at least he was alive.

“The woman in the red dress is also dead! Do you guys still wish to fight?!” It seemed as though the woman in the red dress wasn’t an extremely well-known cultivator from the Manyu Continent. However, a dead expert was a dead expert.

Every single one of their voices rang through the air. They might sound exhausted, but their words were like sledgehammers slamming into the hearts of those from the Manyu Continent.

Moreover, those from the Tongyou Institution had a strange sense of pride after calling out the names of the experts they had slain. It was as though they were ready to claim their victory the next moment.

Rumble…

A deep sound came from the distance as the earth started to tremble along with it. Formless barriers appeared in the air as it continued to expand, covering the territory owned by the Tongyou Institution. At the same time, enemies of the institution felt a sense of pressure descending upon them.

The protection formation of the Tongyou Institution had been reactivated and it was expanding at a rapid pace!

Elder Zhuang and Mister Ren understood that the war had concluded and after shooting each other a glance, they knew what they had to do. Turning in different directions, they fled without hesitation. They knew that they couldn’t remain in the Tongyou Institution’s protection formation for long.
