Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1085: Breaking Out! Finding the Spirit Faith World! Pt.2

In the Star Beast Nest, the cultivators of the Spirit Luxuriant World were retreating orderly.

Yi Jingzi of the Heavenly Star Palace, who reached the fourth element of the Martial Dipper Realm, raced to meet Huang Jinghan the moment she heard the news.

“True Immortal Huang…” Yi Jingzi had a face full of panic, but she still maintained her mannerisms and respect when addressing him, “… Dare I ask what happened? Why are we retreating so suddenly?”

Huang Jinghan understood that she was a talented expert who had been specially nurtured by the Heavenly Star Palace and she was considered a well-known figure among members of the same generation of the Spirit Luxuriant World. Even he heard of her before. Whatever it was, he chuckled softly, “It’s nothing much. An expert of our world is trying to break out of the encirclement as we speak. In order to avoid suffering serious damage when they go crazy and try destroying the Star Beast Nest, we need everyone to leave.”

Yi Jingzi might have known that they were only taking precautions, but she had been sent by the Heavenly Star Pavilion to carry out a secret mission that couldn’t be disrupted at the moment. If they really had to give everything up, they would have wasted all their efforts! In the end, she hesitated slightly and mumbled, “True Immortal Huang, can I stay here temporarily and leave only at the very end?”

Huang Jinghan shot her an expressionless gaze and eventually nodded when she was worried that he wouldn’t agree.

“If you’re willing to stay till the end, I won’t stop you. However, you shall be responsible for your safety. I might not be able to protect you in case anything happens.” Huang Jinghan mumbled.

Gritting her teeth, Yi Jingzi muttered in a low voice, “Many thanks for True Immortal Huang’s understanding. I will definitely act according to our circumstances.”

After she spoke, she bowed once before rushing away in haste.

Seeing as she had left, a light flashed through his eyes and he knew that she definitely had some motive for wanting to stay till the end.

After thinking back to everything the Heavenly Star Palace had been up to since they restored the Star Observatory, they basically plastered the words ‘I have ulterior motives’ on their faces. Huang Jinghan decided to secretly keep track of whatever plan they were brewing.

Who would have thought that just as he made up his mind to keep an eye on her, he would discover something with his divine soul? He disappeared from within the Star Beast Nest the next second

When he reappeared, he had already arrived in the space outside the Star Beast Nest. 2 second tier True Immortals were rushing towards him aggressively.

“Fellow cultivators, why are you in such a rush to get here?” Huang Jinghan asked even though he already knew the answer.

“Hehe… True Immortal Huang, what’s the point of pretending? True Immortal Shang of your world truly is amazing. He ran out tens of thousands of miles before we could react!” Yan Wujiu sneered.

Not only was he aggressive in his manner of speech, he was also releasing his aura as he spoke. There was also True Immortal Zhu who was placing great pressure on Huang Jinghan at the side.

Huang Jinghan was a mere first tier True Immortal. If they compared auras alone, he would feel strained even if he had to face Yan Wujiu alone. Now that there was another second tier True Immortal, he couldn’t help but be forced back no matter how sturdy his willpower was.

If someone stared from afar, they would see that behind Huang Jinghan, there were faint spatial ripples moving in the opposite direction to resist the pressure from the 2 True Immortals.

Huang Jinghan might have been fully suppressed by the other party, but he held down the Yuanchen Heavy Sword on his back and he growled, “Fellow experts, are you here to destroy the Star Beast Nest?”

Yan Wujiu chuckled in response, “What’s the matter? Do you think I won’t dare to do it?”

After he spoke, the True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World circulated even more energy and released an even more forceful aura. The Star Beast Nest behind Huang Jinghan started to tremble.

One had to know that the Star Beast Nest might not be comparable to a massive continent on its own, but its size was much larger than one. There were even formations surrounding it to provide protection. However… In front of the 2 second tier True Immortals, the protection was as good as useless.

When Huang Jinghan had already pushed himself to his limit to maintain his domain around him, he spat with great difficulty, “I don’t doubt that you would be able to destroy this place, but what’s the point? Moreover, our worlds have already reached an agreement…”

Only then did Yan Wujiu and True Immortal Zhu lift the pressure on Huang Jinghan, allowing him to catch a breath.

The next second, Yan Wujiu sneered, “We’re just here to teach you a lesson. Do you really think that you guys would be able to reach your goal just because someone managed to break out of this place? How naive… All you need to do is to get ready to clean up the corpse of your True Immortal Shang. This is the price you will pay for not respecting our warning!”

After he spoke, both he and True Immortal Zhu concealed their aura. The space that had been twisting unnaturally also regained its calm.

Before Huang Jinghan could heave a sigh of relief, True Immortal Zhu, who looked as though he was retreating, reached out for the Star Beast Nest and pushed into the space before him.

“What are you doing!” Huang Jinghan roared and his Yuanchen Heavy Sword came slashing down instinctively.

By the time his sword landed, all that was left was a massive burst of light. His sword sliced into space with no one there.

Soon after, he heard some buzzing and rumbling sound coming from behind. Turning around in panic, he saw that half the Star Beast Nest had collapsed. At the same time, there were a lot of remnant formations around the Star Beast Nest. It was even pushed hundreds of miles away from its original position.

“This is just a small lesson you have to learn. Remember… This is our Spirit Faith World! If you try something so audacious again, there won’t be a need for the Star Beast Nest to exist anymore!” Yan Wujiu’s frosty voice came from the void.

Huang Jinghan growled, “Fine. I experienced the might of you experts from your Spirit Faith World today. We will definitely repay the favor in the future!”

“Hahah! We’ll wait!” Yan Wujiu’s sneer came from the void again and he continued, “True Immortal Huang, if you still remain here, I’m afraid the Star Beast Nest is going to collapse!”

Huang Jinghan snorted helplessly and he could only turn around to rush back to the secret region that contained the Star Beast Nest.

At the moment, the Star Beast Nest was comparable to a Holy Land. It had been shattered by True Immortal Zhu and even though only a portion of it looked affected on the surface, the space within was greatly affected. It was starting to tear apart the interior of the secret region.

The second Huang Jinghan stepped into the Star Beast Nest, he released his domain to prevent further collapse.

Soon, a curious look appeared on his face. He took several steps and arrived at one of the corners of the secret region that had been destroyed.

“Why haven’t you left?” Huang Jinghan asked Yi Jingzi in confusion.

The pale Yi Jingzi forced a smile and stepped to the side to reveal a massive cave behind her. “True Immortal Huang, I’m afraid these cubs are the only Star Beasts left!”

Huang Jinghan looked at the destroyed space all around her and the cave that was the only intact structure left behind her. He nodded slowly and mumbled, “It might be shockwaves caused by the attack of a second tier True Immortal, but to be able to last for so long… You’ve done well! However… Is it really worth it just to save a few Star Beast cubs?”

Yi Jingzi managed to restore a bit of her energy with Huang Jinghan’s help and even though she was still weak, she felt a lot better. She laughed, “If a Star Beast Nest no longer has Star Beasts… It will no longer deserve its name!”

A moment later, her laughter turned to one of helplessness and she seemed to be forcing it slightly. “Actually… I was too late and was trapped here. I manage to stay alive, but barely. I saved these cubs in passing…”

…

In the void hundreds of thousands of miles from the Star Beast Nest, Shang Xia suddenly felt as though someone noticed his tracks…
