Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 947: Ding Ding Ding! The New Challenger Approaches
Chapter 947: Ding Ding Ding! The New Challenger Approaches
Even though the various True Immortals didn’t personally descend on the Star Origin City, they sent countless projections over. Their divine souls were also interacting with each other. The event could be said to be something that hadn’t happened in hundreds of years!
The exchange that was held seemed like the various worlds were targeting the Spirit Luxuriant World, but that wasn’t actually the case.
That was also why even with the slight hostility shown by True Immortal Qing and Shen Bihuan, Zhuge Xiang didn’t move to stop them.
After all, everyone who took part in the exchange had a cultivation level comparable to that of experts from the Spirit Luxuriant World. Every world knew their limits and it seemed to be something Zhuge Xiang was ensuring at the side.
Only Xiao Yugang seemed to be truly interested in the exchange when he joined the battle.
He possessed no malice towards either side, but the moment he made his move, he targeted Li Jidao. After sending out the fire web, he didn’t do anything else as it was easily shoved to the side by Yang Taihe’s palm.
Understanding that his cultivation level was a little low to be taking part in a battle of their level, he no longer made any unnecessary moves for the time being. However, his actions managed to lessen the pressure on True Immortal Qing and Shen Bihuan.
Even though he no longer attacked after making one move, the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World didn’t sit still. Liu Jingsheng’s voice boomed through the air. “Liu Jingsheng of the Yuanchen Sect is here to receive your pointers!
A stream of energy emerged from their spatial tunnel and the moment it arrived, it transformed into a giant wave that swept towards Xiao Yugang’s fire web.
The experts of the Yuanchen Sect were adept at controlling the Water Element, and despite Xiao Yugang’s fire possessing special properties, it was completely useless in the face of the giant wave summoned by Liu Jingsheng.
When everyone was thinking about how Xiao Yugang had overestimated himself, they heard a soft sneer from Shen Bihuan. Her Jade Hairpin stabbed into the void and caused a massive rift to form in space. Liu Jingsheng’s wave was swallowed by the rift in space and no matter how hard it thrashed about, it couldn’t break free!
The situation surpassed anything the True Immortals watching expected and the battle seemed to become a lot more interesting. Shang Xia, who had started to retreat to the corners of the Star Relay, could feel an increasing number of divine souls descending on the Star Relay.
Clearly, there were more and more Martial Void Realm experts from the various worlds gathering after noticing what was happening.
The number of Martial Dipper Realm experts who could still remain was getting lesser and lesser by that point.
Shang Xia seemed to feel something the next moment and he turned around only to notice a person staring at him with a strange grin on his face. It was actually Huang Yu, the person he was supposed to look for!
Oh yeah... With such a huge disturbance, he should have already realized what was happening...
Huang Yu, who had arrived a long time ago, knew that it was a great opportunity to meet Shang Xia with so many other Martial Dipper Realm experts as cover.
However, if he left the Star Relay at that moment...
Shang Xia turned to stare at the battle happening above.
Huang Yu noticed Shang Xia’s dilemma and he simply smiled once before raising his head to look at the skies above the Star Relay. It was obvious he didn’t wish to miss such a great opportunity to watch a battle of that scale.
Shang Xia heaved a sigh of relief before turning his attention back to the fight. However, he was quickly distracted by a sudden thought. Isn’t his cultivation only at the third element of the Martial Dipper Realm?! How is he able to remain in the Star Relay to watch the battle?
Shang Xia could only think about how strong Huang Yu’s foundations were. In the future, he would most likely be able to break into the Martial Void Realm as well.
After thinking about it, Shang Xia wanted to glance at Huang Yu from the corner of his eye to look at how strained he was. A sudden change in the battle happening above caught his attention before he could do so.
Liu Jingsheng, who perfectly countered Xiao Yugang, was intercepted by Shen Bihuan and was unable to display his might. He could only retreat for the time being.
The web of fire that had been pushed away by Yang Taihe started to close in on Li Jidao again. Already exhausted from the battle with True Immortal Qing, Li Jidao chose to move away from the fire web.
The moment he moved, Yang Taihe’s palm which had been hiding behind his blade was immediately exposed.
True Immortal Qing’s snake head dived into the void again and quickly appeared above Yang Taihe’s palm.
His palm was still tapping in the void when it smashed into the tail of the snake. Both the palm and the tail of the snake paused for a moment, but the next second, the head of the snake started to close its jaws around the palm.
At the very last moment, the void in the region froze. Yang Taihe’s palm made use of the time to send out multiple strikes to force the entire snake back.
The next second, a low but powerful rumble came from the spatial tunnel. It started to fluctuate violently as though a giant creature was trying to force its way through.
“I am Zhang Xuansheng of the Northern Sea Mystic Sect of the Spirit Luxuriant World. Fellow cultivators, please enlighten me!” Seeing as the situation was getting worse, Zhang Xuansheng finally stepped into the battle.
When everyone’s attention turned to Zhang Xuansheng, Zhuge Xiang revealed a strange expression. He felt that there was something strange about the experts of the Spirit Abundance World.
According to their unspoken rule, cultivators of the same level would step out to challenge each other. Moreover, the weaker ones would step out first, followed by those with higher cultivation levels.
Ordinarily, the stronger one was, the more they would try to keep themselves hidden. They would make a move in the critical moment and turn the situation around completely to obtain victory. That would be an effective method to awe others.
There were 5 Martial Void Realm True Immortals in the Spirit Luxuriant World, and Zhugu Xiang was sure that Zhang Xuansheng was the strongest of them all. He was a step away from the third tier of the Martial Void Realm and was a powerful expert in his own right. There was another relatively young swordsman who should have advanced recently. He should be the weakest among them, even weaker than Liu Jingsheng! After all, Liu Jingsheng was also a step away from the second tier...
According to his logic, when Xiao Yugang made his move earlier, the swordsman should have been the one to take the challenge!
Even if the swordsman wasn’t good enough to challenge Martial Void Realm experts with more experience, he would still have been able to stall the fire web for some time. At the very least, he would be able to ensure Li Jidao wasn’t affected.
Instead, the Spirit Luxuriant World chose to send Liu Jingsheng. Not only was he completely countered by Shen Bihuan, but he also caused the others to fall into a trap!
As opponents who failed twice in the hands of the Spirit Luxuriant World, the experts of the Spirit Abundance World should be extremely familiar with the Martial Void Realm experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World.
Now that they were trapped in a dire situation, Zhang Xuansheng, their strongest expert, also stepped out to join the battle. The newly ascended swordsman was placed to the very end and Zhuge Xiang had no idea what was going on.
From the looks of it, the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World had already messed up their order and were in chaos. There was no chance of victory any longer. After all, he couldn’t fathom them using the newly ascended swordsman to turn the tables!
Chuckling to himself, Zhuge Xiang couldn’t help but reveal an expression of disapproval.
Above the Star Relay, Zhang Xuansheng’s medium had already passed through the spatial tunnel. It might have affected the entire battlefield and the Martial Void Realm experts of the other worlds who were observing the battle started to turn serious.
The powerful restriction on space not only stopped True Immortal Qing, but it also shattered the spatial rift created by Shen Bihuan to trap Liu Jingsheng’s attack.
Without any restraint, Liu Jingsheng controlled his giant wave and regained his powerful aura.
It tore through the void and shattered Xiao Yugang’s fire web in an instant. Even the fire seeds that were produced were unable to withstand the might of Liu Jingsheng’s wave and flickered unsteadily.
Finally, Zhang Xuansheng’s medium showed itself. It turned out to be a palm-sized jade-like tortoise that even seemed a little cute!
Smiles appeared on the faces of the experts present. However, they quickly adjusted their mentality and discovered how special the tortoise was.
At the edges of the Star Relay, Shang Xia was shocked by the appearance of the tortoise. He turned his head to where Huang Yu was standing as though trying to verify something, but there was no one there.
There were barely any grand completion stage Martial Dipper Realm experts left at that point. Even the Star Origin Guards who had their Star Robes for protection were forced to leave, leaving only the strongest behind.
The Jade Tortoise might have turned the situation around, but Zhang Xuansheng was in no rush to make his move. After all, they had an extra expert on their side with his appearance. He had to wait for someone else to join the other side.
Zhang Xuansheng’s appearance seemed to cause some ripples among the experts present, but the other side quickly reacted.
A powerful spatial ripple passed through the Star Relay, but it moved a lot more numbly. A rounded jug flew out from the void and lightning flashed everywhere.
“I am Jin Yuliang of the Ancient Origin Sect of the Spirit Thistle World! I have to offend fellow experts from the Spirit Luxuriant World by taking part in his battle!” As soon as his words fell, a silvery-white liquid emerged from the jug. It started to transform into all sorts of shapes as it closed in on the Jade Tortoise.
“Lightning Starch? True Immortal Yuliang’s Lightning Arts are extremely penetrative... He even brought out his Lightning Starch today. Looks like he’s paying a huge price for this...”
“Sigh... It’s because True Immortal Zheng Xuansheng is too powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent True Immortal Yuliang. Looks like the various worlds changed their minds... They seem to want to establish their dominance on the newly ascended Spirit World...”
“That’s true... The Spirit Abundance World didn’t just take a single L because of them. They lost twice, and it’s said that during their second invasion, a True Immortal was killed and another was seriously injured. Who’s to say that the Spirit Abundance World didn’t use their resources to push for this to happen today? Hehe... Even if they say they had nothing to do with it, do you believe them?”
“What?! Even experts at our level were killed and another was heavily injured?! It seems like the Spirit Luxuriant World isn’t as simple as they seem...”
“Hush! We’re trying to watch the battle!”
“Oh yeah! The battle is more important. It’s something hard to come by in hundreds of years!”
The cluster of Lightning Starch descended the next moment, swallowing the Jade Tortoise.
The next instant, lightning filled the region and Shang Xia felt a sharp pain in his eyes. Tears fell uncontrollably.
Beside him, several loud gasps were heard as sounds of running could be heard.
After the lightning died down a little, Shang Xia slowly opened his eyes. He didn’t dare to stare directly at the battle. Instead, he glanced to his side only to discover no one else.
When his vision cleared slightly, he seemed to hear a strong exhale from behind him. Turning around, he noticed a Star Origin Guard pressed against the protection barrier with her face pale. Her eyes were wide with shock as she stared directly at Shang Xia.
Shang Xia recognized her immediately. She was Captain Feng of the Star Origin Guards!
