Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1061: Star Beasts Assault

As the Yuanchen Heavy Sword tore through the air when Huang Jinghan made his move, Kou Chongxue who had been managing matters in the Tongyou Elysium appeared beside Shang Xia.

However, Shang Xia quickly discovered the anomaly and knew that it was a mere clone.

Then again, Kou Chongxue had been in the second tier for some time now. Being able to split off a clone shouldn’t be surprising.

However, from what Shang Xia knew, Kou Chongxue never really put in any effort when researching the secret art of creating clones. He has only been practicing for several months…

A clone might be important to Elysium True Immortals, but for people like Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia who could leave the world anytime they liked, creating clones wasn’t as important.

However, Shang Xia understood why Kou Chongxue did something like that. He didn’t wish to leave the Elysium and allow anything to happen to it.

Kou Chongxue’s appearance was quickly detected by the rest. They also discovered that he merely sent over a clone.

A second tier True Immortal could split off a clone by using some Void Qi. Their foundations wouldn’t be affected either. However, it wasn’t exactly something easy to do. The amount of energy required to create the clone would cause them to exhaust a few years of cultivation…

However, that didn’t really pose a problem for the monster that was Kou Chongxue. He was blessed by the world itself and his cultivation speed far surpassed others. What others might need several years, he only needed several months!

Actually, Shang Xia also had the capability to split off a clone. He also knew that it would be a little easier for himself to do so compared to other True Immortals.

…

After the short exchange between Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue, the test between Huang Jinghan and Yin Jingxu already ended.

The Yuanchen Heavy Sword wasn’t able to damage the Star Observatory, but Yin Jingxu was injured by the sword qi Huang Jinghan released!

To the current Heavenly Star Palace, the Star Observatory was what they were relying on to obtain benefits from the other great powers!

Seeing Yin Jingxu who was slowly recovering on the Star Observatory, Kou Chongxue’s clone asked, “Do you want me to do it?”

Glancing at the clone from the corner of his eye, Shang Xia mumbled, “You’re the one who ascended with the spirituality of the Jiao Continent. If you want to go easy on them, I have no opinions…”

“It’s a shame our world needs this Star Observatory…” Kou Chongxue mumbled.

To that, Shang Xia broke out laughing, “Aren’t you afraid that the Heavenly Star Palace really inherited the martial inheritance of the Heaven Observation Sect? That’s an inheritance that can lead to the Seventh Order of the Primary Realm! If they are allowed to rise, in a hundred years or so, they’ll probably be in control of our Spirit Luxuriant World!”

“So… Are you thinking of forcing them to hand over the martial inheritance of the Heaven Observation Sect?” Kou Chongxue raised an eyebrow curiously.

Shang Xia chuckled, “I’m fine with not getting it. Even if they aren’t willing to hand it over, or if they really don’t have it, it’s like you said. The effects won’t be important to our Spirit Luxuriant World in the short term!”

Kou Chongxue slapped Shang Xia’s shoulder several times and muttered, “Even though what they have is very tempting for us to steal, our institution needs something that belongs to us. If the Heaven Observation Sect was able to walk down their path and produce a rank seven inheritance, what’s stopping us from doing so?”

Thinking about Kou Chongxue’s growth and his unreasonable luck, Shang Xia nodded slowly. “Patriarch Kou, looks like you’re right. In the future, my hopes of breaking through to the Seventh Order will rest on you!”

“Damn kid… I’m confident you’ll be able to find your own path!” Kou Chongxue sighed softly.

The smile on Shang Xia’s face froze for a second.

With a smile that didn’t seem like a smile, Kou Chongxue sneered, “What’s the matter? You always have some sort of strange inheritance on you. Your cultivation has already caught up to mine and aren’t you confident you’ll be able to find a special method to enter the Seventh Order?”

“Patriarch Kou, you’re thinking too highly of me…” Shang Xia laughed dryly in response.

Kou Chongxue continued to sigh, “Everyone has their destiny and it’s something others won’t be able to get no matter how much they covet it unless the person who produced the inheritance is willing. It’s like the Heavenly Star Palace. Who would think that a mere sect from an Azure World would be able to obtain a rank seven inheritance? As for you… You’ve already done great in the institution!”

Both of them had been communicating through voice transmission the entire time and the time taken to steep a pot of tea had passed.

Everyone turned to look at Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia, and even Yin Jingxu stopped absorbing energy from the essence crystal in his hand. He started to store his energy.

Kou Chongxue’s clone wanted to take a step forward, but Shang Xia reached out to stop him.

Yin Jingxu’s pupils constricted when he saw what Shang Xia did. His heart started to pound.

Compared to Huang Jinghan, Shang Xia was a true second tier True Immortal!

Even if the others earlier maintained their strength at the first tier when they unleashed their attacks earlier, there were some that were weaker and some that were stronger.

The True Immortal from the Tongyou Institution who was about to make his move was the youngest expert who rose to power right after Kou Chongxue. When he was in the first tier, he could already fight against 2 second tier True Immortals of other worlds while killing one of them…

His combat strength was also tyrannical and not too long after he entered the second tier, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World already accepted the fact that his combat abilities had surpassed Kou Chongxue. Even the third tier True Immortal, Yang Taihe, once said that he wasn’t confident of easily suppressing Shang Xia to gain the upper hand if they fought for real.

If Shang Xia wasn’t willing to see the rise of the Heavenly Star Palace, he would easily be able to crush Yin Jingxu! That wasn’t even mentioning the fact that Yin Jingxu had already been injured by Huang Jinghan.

When everyone was still waiting for Shang Xia to make his move, and the Heavenly Star Palace seemed like they were awaiting judgment, Shang Xia raised his head to look above the heavenly screen before sighing, “Fellow cultivators of the Heavenly Star Palace… You’re in trouble now.”

Yang Taihe’s clone also seemed to realize something as he raised his head to look out of the heavenly screen.

He might not have noticed what happened outside like Shang Xia, but it was because he noticed his true body already standing above the heavenly screen.

Not too long later, the other True Immortals also discovered what happened.

Huang Jinghan snorted coldly before turning to the members of the Heavenly Star Palace. “Since you obtained the inheritance of the Heaven Observation Sect, don’t you know what will happen after gathering so much power of starlight?”

Before the members of the Heavenly Star Palace could say anything, Huang Jinghan’s figure turned blurry and he appeared above the heavenly screen.

The moment Huang Jinghan left, everyone else also took their leave.

It was then that Yin Jingxu’s expression changed and he yelled in fright, “This is bad! Everyone in the Martial Dipper Realm, follow me to the heavenly screen!”

After he spoke, he created a spatial tunnel before rushing up to the heavenly screen.

Ha Deqing, Yi Jingzi, and several other Martial Dipper Realm experts followed closely behind. They stood behind him as they arrived above the heavenly screen.

By the time they appeared, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World had already taken their positions. Most of them were stationed around the heavenly screen above the Jiao Continent.

No matter what, the Heavenly Star Palace was considered a strong faction behind the 6 great powers of the Spirit Luxuriant World. They have been growing rapidly in recent years. The number of Martial Dipper Realm experts they had was definitely more than those present. However, the Jiao Continent wasn’t the Yi Continent where the Heavenly Star Palace was really located. They needed several experts to remain back there to deal with matters.

As the 5 Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Heavenly Star Palace arrived above the heavenly screen, Yin Jingxu was still able to maintain the combat strength of a True Immortal even though he seemed to have already left the Star Observatory. The strength of those following him also received a great boost.

However, the moment they arrived, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World noticed their weakness. None of them could leave the region of starlight that they drew over. The moment they did, they would lose the additional assistance they gained and return to their original combat strength.

The restriction they faced was far greater than what Elysium True Immortals faced.

Before Ha Dengqing and the others discovered what was going on, Yin Jingxu’s chuckled in explanation. “Those are Star Beasts. They were drawn over by the starlight we drew over…”

“Star Beasts?” Yi Jingzi frowned and asked, “Star Beasts was indeed described in the records… However… Are we really responsible for drawing them over?”

“I’m afraid so.” Yin Jingxu sighed, “Even though the inheritance we received was incomplete, the records related to Star Beasts and their attraction to starlight might have been lost…”

Ha Dengqing seemed to have thought of something and he gasped, “That might also be because an Elysium would be able to greatly reduce the effects of the starlight drawn over, preventing Star Beasts from discovering anything… They might not have needed to indicate that in the inheritance…”

The next second, Shang Xia’s voice rang in the ears of those present. “You can take this upcoming battle as my trial for you guys. How about it?”

The Heavenly Star Palace were the ones who drew over the Star Beasts. No one before this knew that Star Beasts would be drawn over because of the intense starlight they drew over and Yin Jingxu was the cause of the entire problem. Of course they had to be the ones to deal with it.

Taking it as his trial for them was actually letting them off easy.

Yin Jingxu forced a chuckle in response. “Many thanks, True Immortal Shang!”

At that moment, Yin Jingxu could feel that it wasn’t just a Star Beast or two that had been drawn over. There was an entire pack of them!

Ha Dengqing released an emergency transmission as the Martial Dipper Realm experts in the Heavenly Star Palace no longer cared about their territory. They rushed over to the heavenly screen to back the others up. Even so, the pressure the Heavenly Star Palace faced was immense.

That was because those Star Beasts that seemed to be chasing the starlight they drew over had already appeared a mere 300,000 miles away from the Spirit Luxuriant World!

From how they arrived, it was clear that either they had some sort of innate ability to travel through space quickly, or they had a True Immortal level Star Beast behind them!

Above the heavenly screen, Yang Taihe and the others stood close to those from the Heavenly Star Palace. Eventually, Yang Taihe muttered, “Looks like we need to expand the distance of patrols around the heavenly screen…”

“Should we send Star Ships even further out in space like what the Star Origin City is doing?” Huang Jinghan asked.

Shang Xia chuckled in response. “That’s what the Spirit Abundance World is doing too…”
