Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1088: Trap, Certain Death?

Shang Xia went over with a slight hope that he would be able to find something, but he didn’t think that Lan Zhengfeng would be so patient! He didn’t make a move even though the position of his world was revealed!

Under such circumstances, Shang Xia knew that there was no reason to continue. Half the reason he chose to stop was because he didn’t dare to. That was because if he continued to approach the world and fly for an hour or two, he would enter the range of the Elysium True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World!

Even though Elysium True Immortals couldn’t send their true bodies too far away from their worlds, that didn’t mean that they could only hover around the heavenly screen! At the very least, after reaching the third tier of the Martial Void Realm, True Immortal Yang Taihe was able to fight 200,000 miles away from the Spirit Luxuriant World.

… Since Lan Zhengfeng wasn’t going to show himself, Shang Xia wasn’t going to be polite any longer.

With no time to lose, Shang Xia took a single step and tore a tunnel through the void and launched his attack on the wooden ship that was slightly more than a thousand miles away!

The second he made his move, he was no longer able to conceal his aura and he was completely revealed!

However, Shang Xia didn’t seem to care at all. He was certain that the experts of the Spirit Faith World would definitely start to surround him under Lan Zhengfeng’s guidance anyway and he could only make the first move! As long as he could heavily injure or even capture one of their True Immortals alive, he would be able to prevent them from making any rash moves for fear of killing their own!

The second Shang Xia attacked, he used everything he had. Drawing on the power of the world contained in the You Continent with his Six Direction Origin, Shang Xia’s Stone Rod came crashing down on the wooden ship. A loud whistle could be heard as a massive rift was torn in space. The scene where he struck down True Immortal Luo earlier replayed itself.

However, with Lan Zhengfeng’s secret reminder, knowing that he was bait, how could the first tier True Immortal not have made any preparations?

As soon as Shang Xia moved, the wooden ship that used to carry them both turned around and flew straight over to block the strike.

At the same time, a majestic domain emerged from beneath it. A powerful ray of light stretched hundreds of miles in a certain direction and one could faintly see a figure carrying True Immortal Luo within.

Even though the flying ship could withstand the pressure of space, it was nothing before Shang Xia’s rod. It was blasted into nothingness in an instant.

A massive phantom created by the rod continued to descend, but having already prepared for it, the other first tier True Immortal dodged with ease. Horrifying spatial fluctuations started to spread the next moment and quickly caught up with him. The powerful ray of light started to tremble and the True Immortal quickly lost his balance and started floundering about.

When he finally stabilized himself, Shang Xia had already started to give chase.

The first tier True Immortal carrying True Immortal Luo panicked. He knew that with his combat strength comparable to the heavily injured True Immortal Luo in his hands, he was no match for the opponent! Much less when he was carrying the massive burden that was True Immortal Luo!

“Save me!” Screaming loudly, the True Immortal retreated as quickly as possible. He released his domain and drew on as much energy as he could.

Since the enemy had already caught up, he knew that there was no running. Running would only cause him to die a more horrible death!

He could only face the enemy for a chance to live!

At the same time, Shang Xia’s sudden outburst caught the attention of Lan Zhengfeng who was around 3000 miles away.

A vicious look flashed in his eyes as he ignored the risks of the unsteady space around him and tore a spatial tunnel that allowed him to cross a thousand miles in the blink of an eye.

At different distances in the void, the True Immortals who had been called over by Lan Zhengfeng also felt the fluctuations and they started to release their divine souls while rushing over.

Even though they didn’t enter Shang Xia’s range of detection, Shang Xia knew that he didn’t have much time left since he revealed himself.

Suppressing his target with his domain, the rod phantom slammed directly into his opponent’s domain.

Golden-red bolts of lightning surrounded his target’s domain and sword qi that underwent all sorts of strange transformations wreaked havoc. A divine spear made from powerful intent pierced his enemy’s soul and an even weirder blade light appeared. It sundered his domain and ate away at it in a strange fashion. At the same time, a dual-layered five colored light appeared at the very tip of the rod and exterminated a good portion of his enemy’s domain!

This time wasn’t like the last. Shang Xia wasn’t planning to let his opponent live! He wanted to completely erase his soul!

When Shang Xia was suppressing his enemy, he heard a loud yell from the first tier True Immortal he was targeting. Tossing True Immortal Luo to the side, he ignored the destruction of his domain and turned to flee to the Spirit Faith World.

Shang Xia’s eyebrows jumped slightly. He needed a hostage! There was no way he could watch the heavily injured True Immortal Luo die when he was such an easy target to capture at the moment. Weakening his attack intentionally, Shang Xia went to grab the man.

The second he grabbed True Immortal Luo, a meteor shower arrived behind him as the burning streaks of light caused the void to tremble. It seemed to carry a world destroying might!

The third tier True Immortal, Lan Zhengfeng, finally attacked!

At almost the exact same time, 2 auras of True Immortals entered Shang Xia’s range of detection from the space to his left!

The True Immortal that fled quickly rushed to them.

“Since we’re in this situation… Heh… The second move of my Six Harmony Rod Technique shall be named Starry Disorder!” Shang Xia mumbled to himself. He turned to meet the meteor shower coming his way and the Stone Rod in his hand stirred up the space before him.

Actually, the first move already had a name. Since Shang Xia had to store a lot of energy before unleashing the mighty strike, he named it Harmonizing Continent!

The second he unleashed Starry Disorder, lightning, sword qi, spear lights, blade intent, and powerful five colored light rings appeared. It crashed into the meteor shower to form a beautiful scene.

Meteors blew up before turning into dust. The next second, they were destroyed even further till not a trace was left. Space started to tremble and crack. Eventually, chaotic streams appeared and ate everything up…

Lan Zhengfeng’s attack was once again stopped by Shang Xia. Even he was stopped by the region of chaotic streams…

“Are you guys really going to let him die?” Shang Xia snorted while holding the unconscious True Immortal Luo. His voice rang loud and clear through the void and into the minds of the True Immortals in pursuit.

It was also then that another foreign aura entered his range of detection. The newcomer was 800 miles closer than the first group he detected, and it was clear he was a second tier True Immortal!

As soon as Shang Xia’s voice rang in their minds, the 4 True Immortals who came stopped in their tracks.

It was also then that Shang Xia had the opportunity to carefully inspect their auras.

Other than the second tier True Immortal who just appeared, there were a total of 2 other True Immortals he had never seen before. The first was a third tier True Immortal and the other was a first tier True Immortal.

Adding Lan Zhengfeng who had been chasing after him and the first Tier True Immortal who escaped, Shang Xia was actually surrounded by 5 True Immortals at the moment!

What caused his heart to sink was the fact that of those who came, none of them were the ones he ran into at the Star Beast Nest!

That would mean that with True Immortal Luo who was on death’s door, there were at least 8 True Immortals from the Spirit Faith World who revealed themselves!

8 True Immortals who could leave the world at will! Their strength was far above the Spirit Luxuriant World!

One had to know that even if they counted the Elysium True Immortals, the Spirit Luxuriant World only had 9 True Immortals!

How could the Spirit Faith World not have their own Elysium True Immortals? If he counted them, how strong would the Spirit Faith World actually be?

Actually, it wasn’t a difficult problem. When Shang Xia noticed the problem he realized that their Spirit Luxuriant World’s actions of trying to scout out the other world was a bad decision.

When random thoughts were still running through his mind, the other third tier True Immortal who appeared in his range of detection replied, “What do you want?”

Narrowing his eyes, frosty light flashed through them. Shang Xia eventually growled, “How can I address you, senior?”

“You can call me Yun Hu.” The other third tier True Immortal answered.

“Oh… It’s True Immortal Yun Hu. Shang Xia from the Spirit Luxuriant World pays his respects!”

Shang Xia knew that the other side was in no rush to attack him because they thought that victory was assured. As such, they didn’t mind wasting time talking to him.

At that moment, the space around him had already been sealed off by the various True Immortals. Even though the space behind him was still in a region of chaos, he knew that it would be sealed off the moment Lan Zhengfeng dealt with it. When that happened, the encirclement would be complete.

True Immortal Yun Hu started speaking again, “True Immortal Shang, take a look at the situation you’re in, you already…”

Rumble…

Before he could finish, the barely restored region of chaos behind Shang Xia was forcefully broken through. Lan Zhengfeng tore through it and he didn’t care about the weakened space as he rushed at Shang Xia.

“Brother Lan…” True Immortal Yun Hu gasped.

“Are you really going to doom your companion?” Shang Xia was also surprised by Lan Zhengfeng’s decision. Or perhaps, he had broken through the region of chaos to prevent Shang Xia from further communicating with Yun Hu…

With the new threat, Shang Xia had to make his move.

Feeling a sense of reservation, Shang Xia didn’t kill True Immortal Luo immediately. As such, he was also unable to utilize his full strength.

In his state of haste, Shang Xia still managed to block off the meteor shower that was flung his way. However, he was also forced into a state of disadvantage. He was thrown hundreds of miles out and he landed in Yun Hu and another first tier True Immortal’s attack range.

“Our Spirit Faith World has already been exposed. Brother Yun Hu, what are you waiting for?” Lan Zhengfeng roared. He clearly didn’t care about True Immortal Luo’s life as he continued racing towards Shang Xia.
