Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1074: Six Harmony Rod Technique
Without a doubt, the person who made the move was the third tier True Immortal from the Spirit Faith World!
“Looks like we still have to do it eventually…” Shang Xia mumbled to himself as he appeared in the path of the snowy white light.
Behind him lay the Star Beast Nest and even though the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World had been retreating ever since they received the news from Shang Xia, the speed at which they could travel through the spatial tunnel was limited. At least two-thirds of them remained.
Shang Xia couldn’t allow the other side to attack the Star Beast Nest as they pleased with so many cultivators of the Spirit Luxuriant World hiding within. Also, he wanted to keep it intact to act as an outpost in the sea of stars.
After all, it would be an extremely strategic location and it was the key to them obtaining the advantage when dealing with the Spirit Faith World.
However… He had to face an attack from a third tier True Immortal!
Yang Taihe and the others wanted to help, but he stopped them.
Naturally, they didn’t need him to explain why he stopped them. When Shang Xia faced the attack from the third tier True Immortal, Yan Wujiu and the others also started to approach.
The next moment, the ‘True Immortal’ hidden in the Star Beast Nest also started to move. Every True Immortal present felt the aura rushing over to the edge of the Star Beast Nest, ready to help in case anything happened.
6 True Immortals! The experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World also have the ability to split off clones! Even though those clones don’t possess considerable fighting strength, their existence is proof that their true body exists. A world with 6 True Immortals can’t be considered weak at all and a mere Star Beast Nest would be far from enough to summon the full strength of a peak-tier Spirit World! If that’s the case… That would mean that the Spirit Luxuriant World is a lot more powerful than expected and there are way more than 6 True Immortals!
Shang Xia and the others had been evaluating the strength the other side possessed, but so were they! They needed to know what they were dealing with!
The next moment, Shang Xia grunted once and the Stone Rod in his hand swept out with terrifying force, crashing into the ball of snowy white light.
The white light that resembled a meteor was massive and Shang Xia was nothing more than a larger ant in front of it. Even the Stone Rod seemed like a mere toothpick when compared to the size of the ball of snowy white light.
However… The moment the rod crashed into the ball of light, it stopped for a few seconds.
The snowy white ball of light wasn’t the only thing that was stopped. The True Immortals who were pressing closer to the clones of Yang Taihe and the others also froze.
They weren’t restrained by anything. Instead, they were just completely shocked.
A second tier True Immortal was at the level of Inner Fusion, but he decided to meet the attack of a third tier True Immortal with brute force!
From the looks of it, he even managed to stop it!
Several breaths of time passed, and Shang Xia was eventually sent flying away from the powerful energy contained in the ball of light. Despite being blown away, the ball of snowy white light also scattered.
A burst of frost energy filled the area and froze space itself. Cracks appeared on massive asteroids in the distance before they crumbled to icy dust.
As the region of space they were in had been flowing constantly, it brought the secret region that contained the Star Beast Nest around, making it difficult for anyone to lock on to its position.
However, with the clash between Shang Xia and the third tier True Immortal, they seemed to have thrown a massive rock into the river of space as intense fluctuations filled the region.
It was just that the Spirit Luxuriant World had already gained a full lock on the position of the Star Beast Nest and no matter how much it traveled through space, the spatial tunnel would remain.
In the void hundreds of miles apart, Shang Xia finally struggled free from the restraints of the chaotic flow around him and he quickly turned to look at the Star Beast Nest that appeared several thousand miles nearby. Seeing how it was still wobbling about without any signs of severe destruction, Shang Xia heaved a sigh of relief.
A look of regret soon crossed his face.
Earlier, he used the second move in his Six Harmony Rod Technique. Even though the second move was unpredictable and the different strikes he unleashed during it could superimpose on each other to unleash a terrifying might, it seemed to be a stretch when up against a third tier True Immortal.
It was a shame he only created 2 moves when it came to his rank six martial art. The first required him to store energy and it wasn’t suitable for intense battles like that. Even though his second move had 5 strikes in total and stemmed from his understanding of Inner Fusion, his cultivation still limited his true abilities.
What he didn’t know was that when he stopped the attack earlier, he shocked everyone present.
In the void hundreds of miles away, an old expert with a long beard that consisted of only 5 strands of hair, clad in inky green robes, stood quietly.
Shang Xia’s gaze seemed to pierce through the void as it landed on the old man.
No longer caring about the frustration and powerlessness he felt earlier, his attention was placed on the opposing expert immediately.
He met the solemn gaze of the old expert.
It was then that another powerful fluctuation came from the Star Beast Nest as another expert from the Spirit Luxuriant World rushed over.
It was Kou Chongxue’s true body, and Shang Xia didn’t even need to see him to know that he was there to back them up.
Like Shang Xia, Kou Chongxue was also a second tier True Immortal! Of the True Immortals who could leave the Spirit Luxuriant World as they pleased, they were the only ones in the second tier!
Since Shang Xia could detect his arrival, the third tier True Immortal on the other side could definitely do the same.
Looking at the young foreign cultivator before him, the old expert felt different emotions running through his heart. His expression became pretty colorful and even though he was less than a thousand miles away from the Star Beast Nest, he wasn’t confident he could destroy it with the young True Immortal in his way.
“Hehe… Senior, can we start talking nicely now?” Shang Xia noticed the other party’s hesitation and fear, but they weren’t in the Spirit Luxuriant World’s territory at the moment. After displaying his might, it was time to open negotiations.
