Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 617: The Great Escape Pt 2

The moment Shang Bo arrived at the second location, he did the same thing and dug out a huge crater. After flinging it into the spatial tunnel, he noticed that the pillar of lights had closed in on the island behind theirs.

Several rays of light emerged from the island and Martial Extermination Realm experts shot into space to try to attack the strange pillar of light that was approaching.

Shang Bo couldn’t help but sigh softly and he shook his head helplessly.

Those people had no idea what they were up against!

When he saw their method of dealing with the threat, Shang Bo was sure that there was no Martial Dipper Realm expert on their island. Otherwise, there was no way that expert would allow them to run out there to give their lives away.

He planned to give them a warning, but due to the optical error in space, the island was thousands of miles away despite it looking close by.

Looking at them, Shang Bo saw those Martial Extermination Realm experts displaying all their abilities in an attempt to destroy that strange pillar of light that was coming their way.

They summoned their blade qi, sword qi, attacks that swirled with lighting or other elements, and they used all sorts of weapons. Despite their efforts, their attacks were like droplets of water hitting the sea. They couldn’t even cause the slightest bit of damage.

…

The leader among them finally noticed that things were bad and he screamed for everyone to run. Unfortunately, the pillar of light swept around violently that very moment and destroyed the 6 Martial Extermination Realm experts who were in the air.

At the same time, it continued to extend towards the back of the island. If it were to continue extending, it would undoubtedly swallow the rest of the island. However, it didn’t do that. The pillar of light stopped suddenly and maintained a certain distance away from the island. It followed the island as it made its way back to the Azure Origin World.

…

Shang Bo finally arrived at the last piece of land as he circulated his fate dipper qi to dig out yet another crater. He also gathered his inner qi to send a voice transmission over to the other end of the spatial tunnel.

It didn’t take long before a voice that could only be heard by him rang in his mind.

“I already notified Xuan Shou of the Zhongxuan Gate. Let’s hope they can deal with the matter in time.”

By the time he heard the voice, Shang Bo turned to look at the other island only to see the island starting to crumble. The core region separated from the rest of the island and accelerated in a direction away from the Tongyou Island.

The strange pillar of light didn’t expect the island it was chasing to take such decisive measures. It failed to react in time and it didn’t continue to chase after the core region that had split off.

By the time it wanted to give chase, the huge chunks of land that were left behind flew directly at the pillar of light.

The island was originally a thousand miles large. It wasn’t much smaller than the Tongyou Island. The pillar of light might have been able to kill those Martial Extermination Realm experts easily, but facing such a huge landmass, it couldn’t maintain its original speed and power.

With the pillar of light stalled for some time, the core region that was merely several miles in diameter disappeared in the spatial tunnel.

The pillar of light continued to extend through the spatial tunnel despite losing sight of the core region.

After receiving the warning from Kou Chongxue, Xuan Shou and Xuan Chang, the Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors from the Zhongxuan Gate made their move and severed the spatial tunnel.

With its destruction, the pillar of light landed in god knew which region in the sea of stars. However, the pillar of light seemed prepared for it. It didn’t disappear after being thrown out of the spatial tunnel. Instead, it anchored itself into the void, and no matter how much the space around it crumbled, it maintained its position.

… Back to Shang Bo who had thrown out the third crater of land from the Tongyou Island. He stared at the pillar of light that was getting further and further away due to the movement of the Tongyou Island and his expression turned serious.

Other than Chu Jia who was in charge of controlling the grand formation, every other Martial Extermination Realm expert was busy getting rid of the light particles that might have been left behind.

The fluctuations might have weakened by tens of times, but there were still tiny ripples sent out from time to time. It continued to transmit whatever information to the depths of space.

All of a sudden, Shang Bo rose into the air and released his aura to cover a huge portion of the Tongyou Island.

Yun Jing, Shang Xia, and the others were taken aback and they stopped whatever they were doing to stare at him.

As the Tongyou Island continued to travel through the spatial tunnel, Shang Bo remained motionless where he stood. The island quickly drew away from him and Shang Xia didn't say a word as he rose into the air to approach his grandfather. Yan Su’er, Yun Jing, and the others followed behind him after a short moment of hesitation.

Right as they started to move, Shang Bo’s voice rang in their ears. “Stay there. You guys can’t help with this matter.”

Everyone paused for a second and stood still in mid air for some time. They could hear how serious Shang Bo was and it was the first time he sounded so somber.

“Shang Xia, don’t be rash!” Liu Qinglan yelled when she saw Shang Xia’s figure at the edge of the protection barrier.

Yun Jing added, “That will be an exchange between Martial Dipper Realm experts! We’ll only drag Shang Bo down if we head over. We still have a task at hand and that is to clean away all remnants of the light particles on our island!”

A spatial ripple emerged from nowhere and swept across the island suddenly.

None of them were unfamiliar with the feeling. They felt the same thing when the Martial Dipper Realm expert of the Spirit Abundance World appeared back then.

They no longer tried to warn Shang Xia as all of them turned to look at the region they passed through previously.

With his back facing the Tongyou Island, Shang Bo also started to retreat. However, he maintained a good distance from it in case anything were to happen.

Not too long after the spatial ripples appeared, the pillar of light that had been chasing the Zhongxuan Island earlier raced towards the Tongyou Island.

Seeing as it was getting closer and closer, Shang Bo roared, “Break!”

His Champion’s Spear shot out like a dragon at the pillar of light and the energy contained in his Grand Silk Silver Sand Fate Dipper poured into the tip of his spear. The energy that emerged condensed to form a silvery-gray dragon in space that crashed into the pillar of light.

Unlike the attacks unleashed by those Martial Extermination Realm experts that failed to affect the pillar of light in the slightest, Shang Bo’s spear strike caused the pillar to freeze for a moment.

Shang Bo’s powerful spear art, along with the energy continued in his Grand Silk Silver Sand Fate Dipper, caused the ripples to appear on the surface of the light pillar. It even showed signs of breaking down.

Unfortunately, the situation only remained for a short moment. After the energy contained in Shang Bo’s spear strike was exhausted, the pillar of light continued on its way.

Naturally, Shang Bo wouldn’t sit around and let it do as it wished. He was close to the island, but he didn’t choose to return to borrow the power of the grand formation. Instead, he merely observed what the pillar of light was doing.

Seeing as it continued to pull closer to the island, Shang Bo felt that there was no point in sending out another strike to stall it further.

The next moment, the world origin contained in the Nine Blossom Jade Formation Disc started to grow restless. As it churned about, a giant phantom appeared in the air above the Tongyou Island.

“Deputy Patriarch Ji!”

Liu Qinglan and the rest saw the giant illusory figure above the island when they were still looking for traces of the light particles in the crater.

Now that the Beyond Heavens Pavilion and the Tongyou Island managed to establish contact, Ji Wenlong was able to send a portion of his energy over. The instant his phantom appeared, he formed a complicated seal with his hands before pushing it in the direction of the pillar of light. “Seal, seal, seal!”

3 crystalline jade-like walls appeared in different positions in the void around the island before slicing into the pillar of light. It was forcefully separated into 4 different segments.

Those walls were made from the land Shang Bo dug out from the Tongyou Island, and they were created with the infusion of Ji Wenlong’s inner qi.

No matter what, Ji Wenlong entered the Martial Dipper Realm much earlier than Shang Bo. He might not be stronger, but he definitely had a lot more experience and techniques.

Despite creating those walls to stop the pillar of light, waves upon waves of light came from the depths of space to strengthen it. The first wall was quickly shattered as the energy fused back into the pillar of light.

Soon after, the second and third walls fell.

After piercing through all 3 walls, the pillar of light extended towards the Tongyou Island with greater speed. It also seemed much stronger than before.

Unfortunately, it took some time for it to overcome the obstruction and the Tongyou Island had already pulled away.

The pillar of light was unwilling to give up as it continued to chase the island down through the spatial tunnel.

As it continued its pursuit, a sharp whistle arrived and space itself trembled. The Hidden Frost Sword finally made its appearance and Kou Chongxue’s phantom appeared right after Ji Wenlong’s disappearance. A frosty sword light tore across space, severing the spatial tunnel behind the Tongyou Island.

The moment the pillar of light touched the region of space where the Hidden Frost Sword sliced the spatial tunnel, it was torn to shreds. It split into many different directions before pouring into different regions of space.

Relying on Kou Chongxue’s sword strike, the Tongyou Island managed to escape from the strange pillar of light. The Azure Origin World also started to appear in the distance.

“Quick, look there! What is that?” Chu Jia’s yell brought everyone’s attention to another region in space.
