Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 590: It's Here

“Have you forgotten where this came from? We’re the ones that can’t unleash the disc’s full potential! It is far from reaching its limit.” Chu Jia spoke unhurriedly but a tinge of regret also seemed to be present.

“That’s true!” Yun Jing gasped before muttering softly, “Too bad we’re not good enough to unleash its full potential. It’s a waste of the Changbai Sect’s formation disc we borrowed…”

The jade formation disc that was powering the Tongyou Island’s formation was actually the treasure they stole from the Changbai Holy Land back then after employing several special methods.

It came from some secret region that belonged to the Changbai Holy Land and it was obviously made with a holy land in mind.

The Tongyou Island only managed to maintain its 1700 miles of land because of the treasure. Naturally, they were unable to push the formation disc to its limits with their meager strength.

Even though the Crimson Soul Tablet had been increasing the absorption of world origin that surpassed the capabilities of the grand formation, it was still operating fine. The amount of world origin hadn’t exceeded whatever it could take because of the existence of the formation disc!

When the Crimson Soul Tablet increased the rate of absorption again, the formation disc was still able to suck it away from Shang Xia. That of course, aligned perfectly with Shang Xia’s plans.

Having felt the speed at which the Crimson Soul Tablet could absorb world origin, Shang Xia would also come to learn one important fact. He was far from qualified to control something like that.

What is the Crimson Soul Tablet exactly? And where are its limits?!

Along with Shang Xia’s constant rise in cultivation, he felt that he had gained a little bit of control over the Crimson Soul Tablet. However, the doubts he had were never dispelled. Instead, they only continued to increase.

As Shang Xia got closer and closer to completing the refinement of his extermination origins, he felt a strange feeling coming from the Crimson Soul Tablet. It seemed like it was about to actually transform for once.

…

Along with the Northern Sea Island’s involvement, the speed at which world origin was sucked away from the Great Sun reached a whole new level. Several smaller islands also appeared to share the spoils of the Manyu Continent, and it didn’t take long before the Great Sun shrunk again.

When that happened, the entire region was thrown into darkness for a moment. When the Great Sun continued to release light to illuminate the area, it was no longer as bright as before. Everyone could feel that the intensity of the light rays was much weaker than before.

Experts who were slightly more observant noticed that the Great Sun had shriveled by a third.

A small island drifted into the region and Huo Guanzhang stared at the Great Sun before counting 12 other islands around them and a gloomy expression immediately appeared on his face.

When he caught sight of the familiar-looking Tongyou Institution in the distance, he nearly vomited mouthfuls of blood. His chest felt constricted and he found it hard to breathe.

Looking at the situation, there could very well be more than 20 islands controlled by the various factions in the Azure Origin World and Azure Spiritual World. The Great Observation Sect should be considered one of the strongest ones from the Azure Origin World. It was fine if they couldn’t be compared to the Eternal Sect and Divine Capital Sect. However, they arrived far later than the other factions. Even the new upstart, the Tongyou Institution, came before them.

Huo Guanzhang wasn’t the only one who noticed it. The other experts on the Great Observation Island quickly discovered the Tongyou Island and they felt a trace of disgust.

Because of their confrontation earlier, they felt that even if the Tongyou Institution lucked out, they wouldn’t be too much faster. If they learned the Tongyou Island was actually the fourth power to arrive, they might actually be forced to spit out mouthfuls of blood.

Well, it didn’t take long for something else to cause them to feel that way…

“Fellow disciples of the Great Observation Sect, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the rest of the world origin to be taken by others?” Huo Guanzhang’s grave warning boomed across the island.

Hastily adjusting the grand formation, a giant vortex appeared above them. They started to absorb world origin and a pillar of light connected their island to the Great Sun.

It didn’t take long for them to realize that the pillar of light above their island was much thinner than that above the Tongyou Island!

“Mother fucker!” Huo Guanzhang couldn’t control his temper as he stared at the Tongyou Island before glancing at the pillar of light above him. There were even signs of him losing control of his extermination origins due to his anger.

“Junior Brother Guanzhang, what are you doing?!” Guan Yun’s voice boomed in his ears all of a sudden.

Huo Guanzhang was the most important individual on the Great Observation Island after Guan Yun, the expert at the grand completion stage of the Martial Extermination Realm. He was in charge of the key position of the grand formation and the moment he lost control of his extermination origins, he wouldn’t be able to properly control the grand formation. The giant vortex above the island would be affected and so would their absorption of world origin.

More importantly, the unsteady inflow of world origin that resulted because of that would greatly affect Guan Yun’s chances of success when entering the Martial Dipper Realm.

The Great Observation Sect might have a complete set of rank five advancement inheritance, but a huge amount of world origin was required no matter what. His breakthrough would be extremely advantageous for the Great Observation Sect.

It was the same for the other factions. All of them might have their respective rank five advancement formulas, but if there was one thing in common about all of them, they required a huge amount of world origin. They would have to use the world origin at a key moment to break through.

Unlike them all, the Tongyou Institution was slightly different. Because of their incomplete rank five advancement formula, they would require world origin every step of the way. Without enough world origin, the chance of breakthrough was basically zero.

Due to the massive requirement of world origin required, the Tongyou Institution could be said to be making up for the incompleteness of their formula through the sheer quantity of world origin.

That was the difference between the Tongyou Institution and the other factions. World origin was the number one criterion for the Tongyou Institution’s advancement formula while the others were merely using it at the critical moment to increase the chances of breakthrough.

When Huo Guanzhang was gritting his teeth and glaring at the light pillar above the Tongyou Institution, another horrifying change happened. The change was so drastic that it stupefied everyone else.

Without any warning signs, the pillar of light above the Tongyou Island increased by a fourth of its original size again! In other words, it was 1.75 times stronger than what they could initially pill!

The light pillar above the Tongyou Island was quickly approaching the level of the 3 superpowers, it was showing signs of actually surpassing the weakest of the 3 light pillars…

In their current state, it was impossible for them to remain low-key and avoid catching the attention of the other factions present.

…

Shang Xia, who used the assistance of the extremely pure world origin to reach the large completion stage of his Four Seasons Samsara Art, finally completed the final stage of refinement of his extermination origins. They fused back into a single entity in his body and allowed him to step into the large completion stage of the Martial Extermination Realm in one go.

Everything happened quickly and easily, which shocked Shang Xia. As long as he willed it, he could step into the grand completion stage of the Martial Extermination Realm. That was because during the fusion of his extermination origins, Shang Xia had a feeling that his Four Constellation Palm had already entered the territory of his fourth martial intent.
