Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1029: Taking Care of the Aftermath

Chapter 1029: Taking Care of the Aftermath

When the True Immortals of the various worlds were thinking of what they should do, Zhuge Xiang’s actions of waiting in place seemed to help all of them make up their minds.

True Immortal Cai Ke and True Immortal Sha Peiji of the Azure Abyss World bid Zhuge Xiang farewell as they turned into streaks of light to fly after the bait left behind by the Spirit Luxuriant World before it got too far away.

The Azure Abyss World was an Azure World that was about to experience ascension and all they needed was a little push.

That was why True Immortal Cai Ke and True Immortal Sha Peiji wouldn’t let go of an opportunity like that.

What they didn’t realize was that the other True Immortals were just waiting for someone to lead the way.

With True Immortal Cai Ke taking the lead, 3 True Immortals turned into streaks of light that followed closely behind. A moment later, another 4 of them followed.

More than half of the True Immortals who came left for the remnants of the Azure Flame World. Those left were Zhuge Xiang and Liu Jiuzhen of the Star Origin Guards, True Immortal Liu Yunzi, True Immortal Xiong Chunyang, True Immortal Yuan, True Immortal Hua Yu, and finally True Immortal Yong Si.

The next moment, a dramatic scene played out in front of them.RE𝒂ad updated st𝒐ries at n/𝒐/vel/bin(.)com

Right as the group of experts left to chase after the Northern Chihuang Continent, powerful fluctuations burst forth from the void. There was no doubt about it. It was a disturbance that was only produced when a massive spatial tunnel was opened.

Zhuge Xiang, whose eyes were closed the entire time, opened them and turned to stare at the source of the disturbance.

When Liu Jiuzhen was about to say something, he discovered that Zhuge Xiang had already disappeared.

Not too far away, Xiong Chunyang and Liu Yunzi whose cultivation level was at the third tier Martial Void Realm, stared at each other before rushing in the direction of the disturbance.

In the void 100,000 miles away, the figures of 3 True Immortals appeared after circling back from pushing the Northern Chihuang Continent in the other direction.

Staring at the dozens of Star Ships before him that were dragging the continents into a giant spatial gate, Huang Jinghan heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the blurry figures before him and muttered, “Seniors, looks like everything went smoothly. We should be able to return without any worries…”

The blurry figures beside him turned to glance at each other before they chuckled in a somewhat blurry voice, “True Immortal Huang, you should head back first. There’s no need to care about the two of us…”

Huang Jinghan’s expression changed as he understood what they were about to do. “Seniors, we did what we needed to. What’s the point…”

“Since their Stargazers can determine where the Azure Flame World was through our spatial tunnels, they will definitely be able to find our Spirit Luxuriant World once we open the tunnel here…” One of the blurry figures muttered.

The other continued, “No matter what, we’re nothing but Void Clones. We barely have the power of a Martial Void Realm True Immortal. We even wasted a good portion of our energy already. We won’t be of much use anymore and we might as well erase our tracks and disrupt their plans to find us.”

“There isn’t much of a point… The Spirit Abundance World knows where we are anyway…” Huang Jinghan muttered.

The figure that slightly resembled Zhang Xuansheng interrupted him before he could finish. “What we don’t want is for the Star Origin Guards to be able to rush over to our Spirit Luxuriant World immediately…”

Yang Taihe’s clone added, “All we wish to do is to earn a little more time for our world to digest the essence of the Azure Flame World.”

Pausing for a second, Yang Taihe’s clone continued, “We have already made up our minds. True Immortal Huang, there is no need to try to persuade us any further. You should return as quickly as you can and remind them to erase all traces of the Spatial Transfer.”

After they spoke, they no longer bothered with Huang Jinghan as they flew in different directions. It was also where the position of the Azure Flame World once was.

Staring at their departing figures, Huang Jinghan could only let out a soft sigh.

In the void thousands of miles behind him, the Western Wenchen Continent where Shang Xia was stationed was the last continent to enter the spatial tunnel. With his Yuanchen Heavy Sword in hand, Huang Jinghan followed behind them and disappeared into the spatial gate.

Not too long after he arrived, 2 powerful auras erupted in the void, and powerful spatial fluctuations spread through the region.

Huang Jinghan might have crossed hundreds of thousands of miles after passing through the spatial gate, but he could still clearly feel the impact of those fluctuations.

Turning back instinctively, he discovered the spatial tunnel collapsing rapidly behind him.

Millions of miles away from Huang Jinghan, Zhuge Xiang stood in a certain spot in space completely unharmed. He stared at the void before him that emitted powerful ripples with a grave expression and no one knew what he was thinking.

A moment later, Xiong Chunyang and Liu Yunzi emerged from the void with sorry appearances. There were also several True Immortals who tumbled out behind them with disheveled hair and flustered expressions.

Looking at the region of space that had collapsed, all of them fell silent.

Not too long after, they discovered another powerful fluctuation hundreds of thousands of miles away.

They might have suffered slightly, but it was clear to them the other batch of True Immortals had begun fighting for the bait the Spirit Luxuriant World left behind.

No matter what, the Spirit Luxuriant World left behind a continent and it would contain a fifth of the Azure Flame World’s essence. Undoubtedly, there were also a lot of high-level experts of the Azure Flame World there.

A massive dogfight was definitely happening between the True Immortals who went over.

At that point, no matter which group they were a part of, they would understand that all of them had been played by the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World! From the start to the end, they had never gained the advantage.

…

The Spatial Tunnel between the Azure Flame World and Spirit Luxuriant World was opened when they sent their Star Ships over, but it didn’t close completely as the experts of their world harvested everything the Azure Flame World had to offer. The True Immortals shackled to their Elysiums back in the Spirit Luxuriant World had been widening the spatial tunnel to the best of their abilities the entire time.

Otherwise, how would they transport the massive continents back to the Spirit Luxuriant World?!

Even though they split the Azure Flame World up into 4 chunks and only brought back 3, the True Immortals stationed on each continent could barely maintain their ability to slightly shrink the size of those continents. Only then were they able to barely enter the spatial tunnels.

They might have been able to shrink those continents, but those were massive land masses they were talking about. Even if the True Immortals on them could compress it, how much could they actually do?

Above the heavenly screen of the Spirit Luxuriant World, all 4 True Immortals joined forces with dozens of Formation Masters to maintain the giant spatial tunnel they created.

All of a sudden, Yang Taihe and Zhang Xuansheng opened their eyes and glanced at each other in shock.

The other 2 quickly noticed their abnormal reaction and Liu Jingsheng asked anxiously, “True Immortal Zhang, True Immortal Yang, how is the situation over on that side?”

Yang Taihe chuckled in response, “Relax. Everything has been going smoothly and True Immortal Kou is returning with more than 70 percent of the Azure Flame World’s essence. It won’t be long till they reappear.”

The tense nerves of the True Immortals and Formation Masters maintaining the Spatial Tunnel relaxed slightly after hearing what he said. Smiles could be seen on their faces.

Li Jidao looked a little embarrassed as he muttered, “It’s a shame I wasn’t good enough. I actually failed to learn the secret skill that will allow me to create a clone with only Void Qi… Otherwise, we would have been able to send another expert with Martial Void Realm combat strength over…”

Zhang Xuansheng shook his head and sighed, “Even though the clone possesses Martial Void Realm combat strength, it’s actually extremely weak. It won’t be able to fight any of their true bodies over there. The clones we sent should be more than enough. True Immortal Li, there’s no need to blame yourself…”

Even so, Li Jidao still felt uneasy. He couldn’t help but ask, “So about your clones…”

A smile appeared on Yang Taihe’s face. “It’s fine. The clone contained some energy I gathered over the years and a portion of my divine soul. I’ll be able to recover quickly, especially after the blessing of the World’s Will.”

All of them started to laugh as looks of excitement appeared on the faces of the Formation Masters behind them.

Because of the world ascension, the World’s Will blessed every cultivator in the Spirit Luxuriant World. The collective strength of the Spirit Luxuriant World made a huge leap in the 5 or so years that followed.

During that time, if they included Kou Chongxue, they would have produced 4 True Immortals! The number of Martial Dipper Realm experts they had basically doubled, and those of lower ranks experienced an even more exaggerated increase.

If the Spirit Luxuriant World devours close to 70 percent of the Azure Flame World’s essence, even if they didn’t experience such a huge upgrade, it wouldn’t be much worse, at least in the long term…

Yang Taihe seemed to have thought of something as he turned to look at Liu Jingsheng the next moment. “True Immortal Liu, rest assured… Even though True Immortal Huang stayed with us to deal with the continent we left behind, he shouldn’t have run into any danger. He should have retreated safely.”

Liu Jingsheng heaved a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xuansheng had to pour a bucket of cold water over their excitement as he muttered, “There’s still something we need to worry about. We messed with the True Immortals of so many worlds this time… I’m afraid they’ll fly into a rage due to the humiliation they suffered. The Star Origin City is no exception.”
