Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1106: Danger, Danger
Honestly speaking, the Spirit Faith World was much stronger than the Spirit Luxuriant World. However, that was a fact that had been established a long time ago.
It was due to their constant intake of experts from the Azure Worlds, but only those who reached the Martial Extermination Realm or higher had the qualifications to enter the Spirit Faith World to join the Ascendant Faction.
Originally, the criteria set for those who could ascend had been set at the Martial Dipper Realm. After the True Immortals of the Ascendant Faction and Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Ascendant Faction managed to provide a certain level of protection and cover, they were able to sneakily bring over Martial Extermination Realm experts of their own world.
In recent years, the number of Martial Extermination Realm experts who were sneakily brought into the Spirit Faith World increased by a whole lot, and there were so many of them that they couldn’t hide it any longer!
Those who managed to ascend were naturally elites of the various worlds. They received the arrangements to enter the key positions in the 9 continents in the western and northwestern region of the Spirit Faith World with their True Immortals pulling the strings.
The moment Yun Hu and Meng Han tore off all pretenses with Yan Huayi and the members of the Native Faction, the Ascendant Faction who had been preparing for some time immediately rose up in rebellion.
Catching their opponents off guard, the weaker powers of the Native Faction in those continents suffered heavy losses. The western region of the Spirit Faith World practically fell immediately!
The Guyuan Sect received heavy support from the Heavenly Feather Sect and the Fengyuan Sect, be it in the dark or openly. Not only did their Elysium True Immortal, Gu Chengwu, reach the level of Inner Fusion to become a second tier True Immortal to gain a huge boost in strength, it also became the third strongest power right after the Heavenly Feather Sect and the Fengyuan Sect.
Actually, the Guyuan Sect was responsible for suppressing any rebellion that would happen in the 9 western continents of the Spirit Faith World in case anything happened!
Such an obvious plan was naturally noted by the members of the Ascendant Faction. The moment they reached a deal with Shang Xia, the first person they got rid of was Gu Chengwu! The Guyuan Elysium fell alongside him and the elite cultivators of the Guyuan Sect who had been cultivating there were slain in one fell swoop.
With the chaos that ensued after a good portion of their high-level experts were slain, the Guyuan Sect couldn’t be bothered to handle the matters in the West!
The various continents were busy dealing with the rebellion of the Ascendant Faction, but the Guyuan Sect was busy fighting among themselves for the position of patriarch!
Under such circumstances, the Ascendant Faction quickly strengthened their control over the 9 western continents. They also prepared to split off from the Spirit Faith World!
Throughout the process, the Elysium Gates that were connected to the Azure Worlds started to transfer world origin in the opposite direction with the interference of the True Immortals of the Ascendant Faction! Instead of drawing world origin from the Azure Worlds, they were quickly losing their own.
As the main force among the Three Worlds, the world origin of the Azure Worlds would be drawn over and devoured by the Spirit Faith World… However, 3 Elysium True Immortals of the Ascendant Faction quickly reversed the process!
Such a huge change couldn’t go unnoticed by the Elysium True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World and they quickly counter-attacked. The 3 Elysium True Immortals of the Ascendant Faction were drawn into battle!
At that moment, Yan Huayi, the strongest expert among them, was held back by Yun Hu and Meng Han above the heavenly screen!
Zuo Daohuai, the Elysium True Immortal of the Fengyuan Sect, Zeng Zuoxian, the Elysium True Immortal of the Essence Yuan Sect, and Gu Ying, the Elysium True Immortal of the Stone Crossing Sect, were mere first tier Elysium True Immortals. They were unable to gain the upper hand against the 3 Elysium True Immortals of the Ascendant Faction who had similar cultivation levels. Due to the distance between their territories, they even showed signs of falling to a disadvantage.
It was clear how much of an impact Gu Chengwu’s death caused!
If he was still around, with his strength alone, he would definitely be able to heavily disrupt their plans even if he was a good distance away!
What was more, he could assist the other Elysium True Immortals of the Native Faction! With their advantage in numbers, they would be able to completely suppress the Ascendant Faction.
It was a shame… Not everything would go one’s way. The 9 western continents of the Spirit Faith World thus fell to the Ascendant Faction and they also started drawing the world origin of the Spirit Faith World without any restraints!
Without a superpower like the Guyuan Sect, it would be a tall task to gather the strength of all 9 western continents!
Yan Huayi was held back by Yun Hu and Meng Han outside the heavenly screen, and the Elysium True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World had to stop the Elysium True Immortals of the Ascendant Faction. Lan Zhengfeng had yet to return, and he was being harassed by True Immortal Zhu as he made his way back. Both sides fell into a stalemate.
Counting the various True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World at the moment, the numbers advantage of the Ascendant Faction quickly became obvious. The only True Immortal the Native Faction had left was Luan Wuji of the Heavenly Feather Sect. He was a first tier Elysium True Immortal, but the Ascendant Faction still had Hong Miao, a first tier True Immortal from the Spirit Intellect World, and True Immortal Luo, a first tier True Immortal from the Azure Roaming World!
The situation looked to be in favor of the Ascendant Faction, and that was truly the case. The world origin of the Spirit Faith World was pouring into the Azure Worlds, and the 9 western continents showed signs of breaking away.
Of course, Yun Hu and Meng Han were clear that their advantage was only temporary.
The world essence Yun Hu was using would eventually run out.
Even though it looked like it was able to restrain Yan Huayi, the world essence would eventually be devoured by the Spirit Faith World and become nourishment for Yan Huayi.
The moment Yan Huayi had excess energy to deal with them, Yun Hu and Meng Han wouldn’t be his opponent! He had the support of his Elysium and the world… Especially since the Ascendant Faction rebelled, the World’s Will was turning hostile against them and Yan Huayi would only become stronger while fighting them.
One couldn’t forget about Lan Zhengfeng who was returning! He could pop up anytime!
Even though Lan Zhengfeng was most probably injured by True Immortal Zhu and Shang Xia, he would definitely maintain a portion of his combat strength. If no one stopped him, his presence would be enough to turn the tables!
Seems like the key to everything lay in the hands of the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World…
Yun Hu and Meng Han suddenly felt a sense of unease. The feeling of relying on others felt too disgusting for experts like them who already stood at the peak of the power pyramid!
