Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1031: Anticlimactic
Chapter 1031: Anticlimactic
When the True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World showed themselves, Huang Jinghan had already started to retreat back to the Spirit Luxuriant World.
He wasn’t stupid enough to get himself surrounded by his enemies. Moreover, the closer he got to the Spirit Luxuriant World, the more obvious his advantage.
Back then, he discovered traces of experts of the Spirit Abundance World and he tried to hold them off alone. When he felt the presence of other True Immortals rushing towards him from other directions, he knew that he had to run. He also needed to return to the Spirit Luxuriant World in order to prepare for a great battle.
The Yuanchen Heavy Sword in his hand swept out to block another blow before he ran away from their encirclement. As he retreated, he managed to make use of his familiarity with the surroundings to fly back to the Spirit Luxuriant World.
The next second, a chilly sword light tore through the void to stop those chasing him. It was so powerful that it seemed to freeze the space behind him.
Kou Chongxue had arrived!
With his sword qi severing the void behind Huang Jinghan, 2 True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World who were racing behind Huang Jinghan had no choice but to stop for a moment.
Of course, they weren’t able to stop the experts of the Spirit Abundance World so easily. Be it Kou Chongxue or Huang Jinghan, all they wanted to do was to buy a little more time.
…
Another powerful fluctuation came from the spatial gate above the heavenly screen of the Spirit Luxuriant World. Dozens of Star Ships emerged, and it started to fly towards another location.
Before they got too far, a formless shockwave blasted against them and several Star Ships were blown to nothingness. The dozens of high-level experts on them and the tens of thousands of mortals they contained were killed without a single sound.
The shockwave originated from the battle between Kou Chongxue, Huang Jinghan, and the experts of the Spirit Abundance World deep in space, but it was powerful enough to destroy everything in its path!
The True Immortals above the heavenly screen didn’t have the luxury of time to glance at the destroyed ships as they stared at the spatial gate to wait for the appearance of the Southern Yanlin Continent.
Experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World activated the defense system above the heavenly screen a long time ago, but because they didn’t have too many cultivators operating those formations, they weren’t able to immediately stop the shockwaves of the battle.
As the True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World drew closer and closer to the heavenly screen, the shockwaves of the battle intensified. The defense system the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World created was unable to restore the stability of the space as quickly as before.
Fortunately, after the second batch of Star Ships returned, more experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World came back. More than 200 Martial Extermination Realm experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World positioned themselves around the defense system and the power of their formation increased greatly. At the same time, they managed to better deal with the shockwaves caused by the battle between True Immortals out there.
Finally, the spatial gate started to ripple once again and the Southern Yanlin Continent emerged.
Who would have thought that the next second, 3 third tier Martial Void Realm True Immortals from the Spirit Abundance World would rush at the Spirit Luxuriant World from different directions, straight at the Southern Yanlin Continent?
All 3 of them didn’t bother fighting Kou Chongxue or Huang Jinghan earlier, and no one detected their presence. There was also no way the defense system of the Spirit Luxuriant World could stop them at that moment.
One couldn’t see how there were already several Martial Dipper Realm experts stationed on the formation nodes and hundreds of Martial Extermination Realm cultivators. They had to reinforce the void around the Spirit Luxuriant World to stop the spatial fluctuations and they were already stretched thin.
Seeing the experts of the Spirit Abundance World getting closer, 7 or so Star Ships appeared above the heavenly screen and rushed at the 3 of them.
Every Star Ship had the ability to withstand Spatial Transfer and had their own protection formations. They would be able to take a few attacks from experts in the Martial Dipper Realm before being destroyed if no Formation Master was controlling it. If they truly wanted to smash the Star Ship into pieces, a Martial Dipper Realm expert would have to strike it close to 10 times!
Of course, they were nothing in the eyes of Martial Void Realm experts, and they were shattered in the blink of an eye. However, they managed to weaken the attacks of those Martial Void Realm True Immortals.
Weakening their attacks was one thing… They weren’t really able to do much.
Even though the 3 approaching beams of light seemed so small in comparison to the massive continent that emerged, they were far from harmless.
Facing the 3 enemies who approached, Kou Chongxue and the rest turned extremely serious. It was as though they were about to face great enemies. Zhang Xuansheng and the others drew on the power of their Elysiums the next second.
With the blessing of their World’s Will and the power of their world, Zhang Xuansheng and the rest placed great attention on the approaching experts while still ensuring the safe descent of the Southern Yanlin Continent.
Yang Taihe and Zhang Xuansheng faced 1 opponent each, while Li Jidao and Liu Jingsheng joined hands to face the last.
Space started to shatter as several experts in the Martial Dipper Realm in the region were killed without causing so much as a stir. There were also close to 20 other experts whose bodies were separated into multiple pieces because of the spatial fractures.
The heavenly screen that covered the Southern Yanlin Continent that was maintained by Lu Wuzi suffered great damage as world origin started pouring out into the void.
Fortunately, Zhang Xuansheng and the rest were there to assist. As they quickly took action, the power of their Elysiums sealed those damages as it continued to push the Southern Yanlin Continent into the Spirit Luxuriant World.
Despite sending the Southern Yanlin Continent into the Spirit Luxuriant World, all of them didn’t relax in the slightest.
Instead, they became even more serious.
The experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World realized that the true target of the 3 third tier True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World wasn’t the Southern Yanlin Continent at all! Instead, they wanted to get rid of the spatial gate the Spirit Luxuriant World maintained.
After all, the Spatial Transfer wasn’t done yet. Shang Xia’s Western Wenchen Continent had yet to return!
The next second, Kou Chongxue and Huang Jinghan who were holding off a bunch of enemies were finally unable to hold on. They quickly retreated back to the heavenly screen of the Spirit Luxuriant World and regrouped with Zhang Xuansheng and the rest.
It hadn’t been long since Huang Jinghan entered the Martial Void Realm, and neither had Kou Chongxue. For them to be able to hold out for such a long time was enough to display their impressive combat abilities.
At least 10 True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World emerged from the depths of the void and continued to press closer to the Spirit Luxuriant World, and among them were the 3 third tier Martial Void Realm experts Zhang Xuansheng and the rest stopped.
Carefully inspecting the void around the Spirit Luxuriant World, Kou Chongxue was certain there were still True Immortals in hiding and he couldn’t help but mock, “Fellow experts of the Spirit Abundance World, you truly look highly upon our Spirit Luxuriant World. For you to send so many experts out at once, aren’t you afraid that others will take the opportunity to attack your world?”
A sneer came from the void in response, “Patriarch Kou, how do you know our Spirit Abundance World is the only world that sent experts?”
“Oh? How should I address fellow True Immortals?” Kou Chongxue asked.
The person who sneered responded, “I am Hua Jianlou. Patriarch Kou, have you heard of me?”
Slightly surprised, Kou Chongxue cupped his fists. “True Immortal Hua from the Spirit Infusion Sword Sect… It’s my honor to meet you today!”
Hua Jianlou chuckled in response, “Looks like Patriarch Kou isn’t exactly clueless about our world.”
Humbling himself immediately, Kou Chongxue muttered, “I wouldn’t dare overestimate myself and say that…” 𝒂ll new st𝒐ries at nove/lbi/𝒏(.)c𝒐m
Hua Jianlou’s voice came again. This time, it contained a trace of admiration while still being firm. “Patriarch Kou and our new True Immortal seem to possess unique sword skills. I am truly inspired by the 2 of you. Please enlighten me with your skills!”
Huang Jinghan was equally as serious as he cupped his fists in a certain direction of the void. “I will do my best!”
“I wonder if True Immortal Hua can tell us which other world took the trouble of coming over to find us…” Kou Chongxue laughed softly.
A soft laughter rang in their minds but True Immortal Hua no longer replied.
Instead, another voice came from the depths of the void. “What’s the matter? Patriarch Kou, are you planning to remember all of us so you can take your revenge after this?”
Zhang Xuansheng spoke in Kou Chongxue’s stead. “What’s the matter? Are you afraid?”
The voice that came earlier transformed into an eerie laughter.
Before anyone else could speak, powerful fluctuations emerged from under the Spirit Luxuriant World’s heavenly screen. The True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World immediately understood that their world was trembling violently.
Kou Chongxue shot the rest a helpless look and muttered, “It’s the Southern Yanlin Continent…”
The Southern Yanlin Continent was the smallest and weakest continent of the 3 they brought back, but Lu Wuzi was similarly the weakest True Immortal among the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World…
He definitely failed to control it well in the end and was unable to properly land it in one of the massive oceans. He probably smashed it into one of the continents…
Of course, it wasn’t as though it was entirely his fault. In order to speed up the process earlier, Zhang Xuansheng and the rest used their energy to heavily shove the Southern Yanlin Continent into their world…
Naturally, it wasn’t time to think about all those matters.
The next second, Lu Wuzi stumbled over to where the rest of them were. He might not be as composed as when Kou Chongxue appeared, but it couldn’t be denied that he was still a True Immortal! 7 True Immortals had gathered at the heavenly screen of the Spirit Luxuriant World as they prepared to face their enemies!
Zhang Xuansheng shot Lu Wuzi a cold gaze, and a look of mockery flashed in his eyes.
Lu Wuzi wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by another powerful fluctuation from the spatial gate.
No one came to blows… Instead, Shang Xia’s Western Wenchen Continent was starting to emerge!
