Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 913: Spirit Luxuriant World

Strictly speaking, the Divine Capital Sect was closer to the You Continent.

If Shang Xia headed south the moment he left the You Continent, he would pass through the Divine Capital City. He could easily help Li Jidao catch his opponent off guard and deal him a fatal blow...

However, Shang Xia chose to travel through the Bing Continent to bypass the Divine Capital Sect completely to arrive at the Eternal Palace.

Kou Chongxue’s request was one of the reasons Shang Xia chose to help the Eternal Palace, but there were other reasons behind his choice. One of them was the fact that Yang Taihe was doing much better when fighting his opponent and had a higher chance of victory, but the other was the fact that the Divine Capital Sect was just too damn close to the You Continent!

Yang Taihe naturally knew the reasons behind Shang Xia’s actions, but it was just like he said. Taking care of the bigger picture was something all of them had to do when up against an opponent like the Spirit Abundance World. Shang Xia couldn’t possibly act with hostility towards the experts of the Divine Capital Sect at such a time!

However, there was always something he could do about it. As long as he didn’t cause any negative impact to the Azure Ascension World, he could choose to do whatever he liked even if it meant providing less help to the Divine Capital Sect.

Bidding farewell to Yang Taihe, Shang Xia turned to enter the other battlefield where Li Jidao and Zhao Wuhen were stuck in an intense battle. Yang Taihe started to head in the other direction to reach where Liu Jingsheng and Kou Chongxue were fighting the 2 third tier Martial Void Realm Dugu Yuanshan and Xiong Chunyang!

Despite not breaking through to the second tier of the Martial Void Realm, Yang Taihe had countless years of accumulations under his belt. It might not be an exaggeration to say that he reached the peak of the first tier of the Martial Void Realm and with the assistance of the World’s Will, he had combat strength comparable to a second tier Martial Void Realm expert.

It didn’t matter if they were talking about the strength he possessed or the intricacies of his techniques... They far surpassed Liu Jingsheng and Kou Chongxue.

Even though they were far from gaining the upper hand in the battle against Dugu Yuanshan and Xiong Chunyang, they were able to avoid being beaten down badly. They managed to force the battle to a stalemate as they awaited the full transformation of the Azure Ascension World.

Earlier, Yang Taihe attempted to make his way to the battlefield, but he didn’t appear directly in the Jiao Continent. He stopped at the Shu Continent as that was how far he could go while drawing on the strength of the Eternal Elysium.

After all, a portion of the world origin the Eternal Elysium drew on came from the Liang and Shu Continents.

As such, Yang Taihe would only be able to maintain his peak combat strength by remaining in the region.

Lu Pingyuan’s escape wasn’t just outside the expectations of everyone present, but it greatly disrupted Xiong Chunyang’s plans.

Xiong Chunyang was more than confident of defeating Yang Taihe, Kou Chongxue, and Liu Jingsheng when he was working with Dugu Yuanshan, but defeating them wasn’t the problem at the moment! He was racing against the clock as he had to defeat them before the World’s Will got too strong!

Xiong Chunyang spoke all of a sudden. “Brother Chong Xu, Lady Jiang... How long are you guys going to mess about?! Are you guys really not interested in this world? Or perhaps... Do you have other intentions?”

Even though the distance between the continents was greatly shortened above the heavenly screen, that was relative to the distance on land. At the very least, the battle between Martial Void Realm experts didn’t extend over to each other.

Xiong Chunyang barely spoke when a cold snort came from the north. Jiang Guannan growled, “Distant Exertion King, you seem to think this is easy! Why don’t you come over here and fight Zhang Xuansheng?! We can head over to help Brother Dugu. Maybe, if you came over to help us in the first place, we would have already ended the battle!”

She easily dealt with his criticism but her words were like knives that stabbed into Zhao Wuhen’s heart. His expression sank the very next instant.

The sudden appearance of another expert who had the strength of someone in the Martial Void Realm seemed too damn crude. He didn’t know how to properly utilize his power. In their eyes, they thought that he was merely a poser!

The thought flashed through Zhao Wuhen’s mind as he was fighting Li Jidao, but the next second, Shang Xia drew on all the power he could to release the strongest attack he could muster!

With the sudden movement of world origin, Zhao Wuhen discovered the abnormality with Shang Xia. As it turned out, he was right!

It was a shame Lu Pingyuan was sent off the battlefield with the opponent’s tricky acts!

Zhao Wuhen knew that the odds were stacked against him and wanted to retreat for a moment. However, Li Jidao seemed to have locked on to his aura and there was no way for him to avoid what was coming from both Li Jidao and Shang Xia.

Martial Void Realm experts might be able to draw on the power of divine artifacts or other treasures to strengthen their combat strength, but most of the time, their battles would involve a contest of their techniques and their understanding of cultivation.

Even though Li Jidao stabbed towards Zhao Wuhen with his short swords, everyone was eventually swallowed by a wave of inner qi.

At the same time, Shang Xia’s divine will also appeared in the mix.

Shang Xia wasn’t messing about when he released his attack earlier. After all, he gave it everything he had with the assistance of the Stellar Cauldron and his own divine weapon! Giving it his all, his move was thrown into the battle between the true Martial Void Realm experts. When it arrived, he realized that it was true. He had the power of a Martial Void Realm expert, but he didn’t know how to use it!

Shang Xia was helpless, but he couldn’t do anything about it. He wasn’t a true Martial Void Realm expert at the end of the day. Strictly speaking, he hadn’t even reached the large completion stage of the Martial Dipper Realm! When Kou Chongxue borrowed the power of the Stellar Cauldron initially, he had his martial intents at the very least! Shang Xia hadn’t fully comprehended any of them!

Well, whatever the case, Shang Xia’s involvement managed to mess with the opponent slightly. Shang Xia chuckled bitterly to himself.

The next moment, the outcome of the exchange was decided. Li Jidao was forced back into the Divine Capital Elysium, but Zhao Wuhen failed to gain an advantage after that. He even used up a huge amount of inner qi during the process and tumbled backwards through space. When he passed the You Continent, he was nearly heavily injured by the sudden appearance of Kou Chongxue! If not for the fact that Xiong Chunyang interfered, Kou Chongxue might have succeeded.

Zhao Wuhen eventually met up with Dugu Yuanshan and Xiong Chunyang. Too bad for him, he exhausted too much of his energy. He lost 40 percent of his combat abilities. He might be doing a lot better than Lu Pingyuan who was heavily injured, but he was still a burden to the third tier Martial Void Realm experts. After all, Dugu Yuanshan and Xiong Chunyang would have to protect him if any attacks came his way.

Shang Xia might have successfully carried out 2 assists, but there was no way he was dumb enough to go anywhere near the Jiao Continent. He flew about the surrounding continents to poke those fighting in there.

The entire time, Shang Xia split off a portion of his divine will to pay attention to the Divine Capital Elysium in the distance.

Finally, the decisive change happened. The heavenly screen started to transform before expanding rapidly. It was no longer as weak as before, and it seemed several times stronger!

A soft white glow enveloped the heavenly screen as dense world origin emerged from the void. Shang Xia barely took a breath when he felt a good portion of his inner qi recovering. Feeling the power coursing through him, he discovered he became 30 percent stronger than before!

That could only mean one thing. Excitement filled his heart as the pressure that had been building inside him finally eased up. He felt a huge load being taken off him and he even felt like screaming in joy.

Before he could say anything, a boundless will descended. A void that could only be heard and understood by the members of the once Azure Ascension World rang in their minds.

“Spirit Luxuriant World!”
