Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1052: Fighting a Fourth Tier True Immortal!

No matter how he thought about it, Shang Xia couldn’t understand why a foreign expert would infiltrate the Tongyou Elysium without being detected by him!

However, he wasn’t in a position to continue thinking about it. When he was hesitating, the foreign expert disappeared from the Tongyou Elysium.

Actually, even if Shang Xia wasn’t an Elysium True Immortal he could draw on the power of the Elysium with the Elysium Boundary Marker. With his combat strength, he would be able to heavily injure the other party with the possibility of keeping the other party in the Tongyou Elysium.

Even if the infiltrator was able to hide his presence in the Spirit Luxuriant World using some strange method, he would definitely be restrained by the World’s Will. His strength would be greatly restricted.

However, it was as the other party had said. Shang Xia couldn’t go all out and fight them in the Tongyou Elysium as that would risk destroying it.

Even though letting the person escape from the Tongyou Elysium meant that it was extremely likely for them to escape the Spirit Luxuriant World, Shang Xia had no choice!

Seeing as the infiltrator sneaked out of the Tongyou Elysium without being discovered by anyone else, Shang Xia couldn’t be bothered with anything else as he gave chase.

If he was slightly later, he might just be trapped in the Elysium when the defenses activated.

The second he reappeared, he couldn’t even care that he was still in the Tongyou City when he slammed the Stone Rod in his hand directly at the intruder.

“Where the hell do you think you’re going?!” The protection formation around the city activated instantly and a barrier of light appeared in the skies. However, it was shattered by the powerful spatial fluctuations the next second. Every building that stood above a hundred feet in the city had the top shaved off and the walls of the city collapsed. A massive crater appeared east of the city and stretched for a thousand miles. The moat around the city was completely wiped out with a single swing of Shang Xia’s rod.

That was only the shockwaves of Shang Xia’s strike..

In the air above the Tongyou City, the heavens that seemed to split apart with a swing of his Stone Rod, revealed the appearance of a person. It was a massive figure that blocked the strike from Shang Xia.

What Shang Xia used was one of the Rod Techniques he developed after careful contemplation after obtaining the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar.

Even though it was a single strike, it was still a rank six technique!

The technique focused on brute strength and the most special part about it was the fact that it contained most of the power of the You Continent which Shang Xia could draw on.

As such, Shang Xia had already been storing energy the moment he discovered the presence in the Tongyou Elysium.

With a single move, Shang Xia alerted more than half the cultivators in the You Continent. More importantly, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World were also alerted.

When Shang Xia discovered the intruder’s presence earlier, he could already tell that they had a higher cultivation level than himself.

Even though they would be restrained by the World’s Will, why shouldn’t Shang Xia call for backup and beat the other party up with their sheer numbers? After all, they were in the Spirit Luxuriant World!

There was no need to fight one-on-one like a real man!

Even though he had been storing his energy earlier to release that one strike, his main purpose wasn’t to injure his target. It was actually to keep the other party in the Spirit Luxuriant World.

However, the reaction from the other side caught Shang Xia off guard.

Shang Xia was no longer a newbie who knew nothing about the Martial Void Realm. Seeing the mighty figure in the distance, how could he not understand that the other party had already reached the level of Dao Harmony? He was facing a fourth tier Marital Void Realm True Immortal!

After a Martial Void Realm expert completed the Inner Fusion and External Unity stages, they would be able to create a domain that would allow them to resist a foreign World’s Will.

That meant to say that a fourth tier Martial Void Realm expert could ignore the suppression of a world and burst forth with their full strength as long as they were within their domain!

Of course, in a place where they couldn’t easily replenish their energy, resisting a foreign World’s Will would only increase the burden on them and their energy would be exhausted at a greater pace. They wouldn’t be able to fight for long.

However… A fourth tier True Immortal was a fourth tier True Immortal at the end of the day. The other party faced Shang Xia’s strike head-on without any fear.

One had to know that Shang Xia was a monster who could kill a second tier Martial Void Realm True Immortal when he was still a first tier True Immortal. Not only had he entered the second tier, his abilities had already increased greatly. He also created a rank six rod technique and had the assistance of the world at the moment. His strike that contained all his power closed in on the might that a peak third tier True Immortal could unleash.

Even so, the other side was merely stalled for a second before starting to escape again.

However… That short moment was enough!

A resplendent sword light tore through the void and swallowed the mighty figure in the air.

The Eternal Palace was extremely far from the You Continent, but the distance was practically nothing to the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World!

A third tier Elysium True Immortal’s might was on full display at the moment.

Shang Xia might have barely stopped the other party, but the moment Yang Taihe made his move, the phantom the intruder created was immediately pierced through.

Unfortunately, he failed to harm the true body of the foreign expert. Yang Taihe merely destroyed a portion of the opponent’s domain and weakened them slightly.

Yang Taihe’s sword strike earlier didn’t seem to be holding the other party back. Instead, he seemed to be intentionally allowing the intruder to flee.

A light flashed in Shang Xia’s eyes as he understood Yang Taihe’s intentions.

Yang Taihe might be willing to let the other party escape, but Shang Xia wasn’t!

The Stone Rod swept around once again and Shang Xia unleashed a move he had been thinking of but hadn’t fully developed.

As it wasn’t a perfected move, a small portion of its energy scattered before it landed on its target. The scattered energy caused lightning to flash through the skies as sword qi tore through the space above the Spirit Luxuriant World. At the same time, spear lights appeared to poke through the void as the power of the four seasons caused the flow of time within to change. A five colored light tore through the air and swallowed everything in its path.

Even so, most of the energy contained in the strike landed on the foreign expert’s domain. Once again, his domain was weakened and it shrank slightly in size.

At the same time, Yang Taihe’s second attack arrived from the southwest.

Seeing as things were going bad, the foreign expert tore a hole through the heavenly screen above to try to escape.

However, that was exactly what Yang Taihe was waiting for.

The second the foreign expert appeared above the heavenly screen, Liu Jingsheng, Li Jidao, Zhang Xuansheng, Zhang Jianzi, and Lu Wuzi who had been waiting for some time attacked in unison!

Yang Taihe was the first to rush over to Shang Xia as his cultivation realm was the highest, but his true intention was to chase the foreign True Immortal away from the surface of the world.

The other True Immortals might not be able to do what Yang Taihe did because of their slightly lacking cultivation realm, but they could wait for the intruder above the heavenly screen!

Even though the advantage they had in the world was the largest, the moment they fought in the Spirit Luxuriant World, several continents would be destroyed.

Their advantage was slightly weakened above the heavenly screen, but the suppression of the World’s Will on the foreign True Immortal was still present. They wouldn’t need to destroy a part of their world if they fought there.

Facing a combined attack of 5 True Immortals, even if he was at the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm, he was in for a bad time.

Before he could unleash his full strength, the domain he released was shaved off once again. Even more so when the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World had been storing up energy while waiting for him. The fluctuations slammed into his true body directly.

If shaving away at his void domain wouldn’t cause any injury and would only waste a little bit of his strength, hitting his true body directly was different. It immediately affected his combat abilities.

However… A fourth tier True Immortal was still a fourth tier True Immortal! Even under such circumstances, he still had enough energy to avoid being surrounded by the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World!

Once he got a certain distance away from the heavenly screen, the advantage the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World had would decrease and his combat strength would no longer be restricted.

However, it wasn’t going to be that easy to get rid of the experts from the Spirit Luxuriant World. Before he even got 1000 miles away, Yang Taihe sealed off the space around him to prevent him from escaping.

Both sides released their domains and the intruder was unable to escape immediately.

Shang Xia drew on the power of the world contained in the You Continent and slammed his Stone Rod down once again.

Even though Shang Xia’s strikes weren’t fast, one had to admit that they contained considerable might. Even Yang Taihe didn’t want to be caught up in it as he moved out of the way.

His strike seemed to be the straw that broke the camel’s back after the other party’s domain suffered so much damage. He didn’t just smash the intruder’s domain. It shattered completely and the rod landed on his true body.

A loud roar filled with resentment filled the air suddenly as the space around the fourth tier True Immortal trembled violently. He turned into a streak of bloodied light and disappeared into the distance. His aura couldn’t be felt by anyone in just a split second.

“They actually left?!” Yang Taihe gasped. He was confident that the other party was nowhere near them.

“They used a rank six talisman!” Shang Xia said with absolute certainty.

Soon after, everyone turned their attention to Shang Xia.

“True Immortal Little Shang, who is that guy? How did he enter our Spirit Luxuriant World and how did you discover his presence?”
