Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1117: RUN RUN RUN
The familiar scene caused the cultivators of the Spirit Faith World who reached the Martial Dipper Realm to gasp in fright. They roared and quickly retreated.
As they were running for their lives, a chilly light extended across the skies behind them.
Even though it appeared so quickly not many people noticed it, the true experts among them understood that all of them barely avoided the gates of death.
The frosty light was a ray of sword qi, and it had the ability to tear through the void and shatter the world! If anyone was struck by it, their souls would also be exterminated.
When several cultivators took the risk and turned back to stare at the space behind them, they discovered that the world was trembling once again. The earth was starting to separate from the world!
Kou Chongxue sent out 2 sword qis in succession, and Huang Jinghan released a single strike. Their abilities separated the 4 continents from the main body of the Spirit Faith World!”
“We need the continents to separate from the world as quickly as possible, and we can only trouble you with the spatial wall to protect them all.” Shang Xia chuckled softly.
Lu Wuzi revealed a reluctant expression and mumbled, “That’s 4 continents we’re talking about! Even though they have been separated from the world, the world essence they contain will definitely be a lot stronger than the Spirit Azure World! It would be difficult for me to control them all, but it can still be done… However, if anyone disrupts me, I will definitely lose control of them!”
Shang Xia thought for a second before tossing the Stone Rod in his hand to where the Guyuan Sect was. It transformed into its original form, a Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar.
The Guyuan Sect was located in the center of the 4 continents, and with the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar propping up the remnant heavenly screen, Lu Wuzi would have a much easier time. Once he took charge of the continents, he could focus more on sending it back to the Star Beast Nest.
Even if someone came to cause trouble, Lu Wuzi would be able to spare some energy to deal with them with the assistance of the Heavenly Supporting Jade Pillar.
However, Lu Wuzi hesitated slightly when he saw that Shang Xia had handed over his weapon. “Without your weapon, how will you stop their fourth tier True Immortal when they take action?”
“True Immortal Lu, do you think Yan Huayi will be able to move against us if I head over to the continent the Heavenly Feather Elysium is on and conceal my presence?” Shang Xia chuckled. He even intentionally sent his voice through the rest of the Spirit Faith World. In fact, even the experts of the Azure Intellect World and Azure Roaming Worlds heard what he said.
Shang Xia didn’t bother hiding his hostility and he brought everyone’s attention back to the freak that could conceal himself and avoid the rejection and suppression of the World’s Will. He was also able to enter and leave the Spirit Faith World whenever he wished, and he was undoubtedly a monstrous existence.
Of course, Shang Xia was a man of his word. After leaving his weapon on the continents, he nodded once at Kou Chongxue and Huang Jinghan before disappearing from above the heavenly screen.
The second he left, Yan Huayi reappeared above the heavenly screen and ignored the threat he posed. He waved the brush in the air and tried to lock the 4 continents back in place.
Kou Chongxue’s expression sank and a powerful sword qi tore through the void. Like how he tore through Yan Huayi’s canvas back then, he carved out a good chunk of energy. However, it was clearly not enough to stop him from suppressing the 4 continents.
Huang Jinghan followed up the next instant and his Yuanchen Heavy Sword swung heavily across the air. It contained a profound aura, but it didn’t try cleaving away the energy contained in the brush stroke like what Kou Chongxue did. Instead, it went straight for Yan Huayi.
“Fellow True Immortal, are you really not afraid that your Elysium will be destroyed?” Huang Jinghan’s roar rolled like thunder across the skies. A good half of whatever was left of the Spirit Faith World heard him, and his intentions couldn’t be more clear. He was giving Shang Xia a heads-up that Yan Huayi wasn’t home!
Yan Huayi might not have taken Huang Jinghan seriously when he appeared because the other party was a first tier True Immortal, but it didn’t mean that he would take the sword strike head-on.
He drew on the power of the world and even though Huang Jinghan’s sword qi looked like it was about to land, it failed to cross the tiny distance between itself and Yan Huayi at the last moment. It couldn’t even touch the corner of his clothes!
A low rumble came from the heavenly screen in the distance, and Yan Huayi’s expression finally changed. However, he chose not to retreat. Instead, the brush in his hand tapped in space several times and the suppression on the continents became even stronger.
“Break the seal first!” Kou Chongxue yelled as several rays of sword light shot through the void. It cleaved apart the space in front of him and tried to sever the suppression Yan Huayi had on the continents.
Huang Jinghan also understood why Kou Chongxue placed so much focus on breaking the seal. If they were unable to quickly separate the continents, Yan Huayi might not be the only person they would be facing soon. The True Immortals of the Azure Worlds might arrive to take advantage of the situation.
Huang Jinghan’s sword style might not be as sharp as Kou Chongxue’s, but he didn’t hold back in the slightest. His sword qi plunged into the void that had been sealed off by Yan Huayi.
Because of the exertion, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, the void that had been sealed off started to shake. Powerful fluctuations caused the void to ripple as the continents were freed from Yan Huayi’s suppression.
Naturally, Huang Jinghan’s efforts weren’t enough to cause that to happen. Instead, it was Lu Wuzi who had been grinding away at the suppression while controlling the 4 continents from within.
With the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar, the continents didn’t suffer too much from the spatial fluctuations.
Huang Jinghan coughed hoarsely the next moment. “His combat abilities have already been affected. He’s injured!”
Without Huang Jinghan’s reminder, Kou Chongxue also understood that Yan Huayi’s seal wasn’t as strong as he had thought. Otherwise, even if Huang Jinghan drew himself dry, he wouldn’t be able to shake the foundations of the seal.
Traveling quickly through the void, Kou Chongxue closed the distance between himself and Yan Huayi. His Hidden Frost Sword tapped the void as a ray of sword qi cleaved space apart before disappearing before their eyes.
“What a great sword art…” Yan Huayi couldn’t help but gasp. However, his expression also turned serious.
The brush he was holding also tapped the space in front of him. And the sword qi was quickly shattered. As the sword qi scattered, it created countless tears in the void along with the heavenly screen below.
Kou Chongxue’s sword qi was easily stopped by Yan Huayi in the end.
The next instant, several dozen Star Ships appeared from different directions from beneath the heavenly screen and dragged a long and strong rope behind that was attached to the continents.
How big were the continents?
Even though it looked tiny when compared to the rest of the Spirit Faith World that was covered in the Spirit Faith World, those Star Ships that were barely hundreds of feet long were like ants trying to drag a mighty boulder!
Surprisingly, as those Star Ships rose into the air, the landmass they were dragging started to speed up.
If the speed at which the 4 continents were separating from the Spirit Faith World was comparable to when the 9 western continents were brought away by the Ascendant Faction, the appearance of those Star Ships greatly hastened the process.
“Old friends from the Azure Intellect World and Azure Roaming World, what are you waiting for?!” Yan Huayi roared as he tried to stop them from pulling away.
Kou Chongxue and Huang Jinghan worked in unison as they rushed towards Yan Huayi. 2 divine swords danced as they displayed 2 different styles. 1 was nimble and difficult to block, the other was heavy and contained powerful might. Even though they might not be able to threaten Yan Huayi, they were more than capable of messing up his tempo.
Seemingly having noticed that the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World were drawn thin trying to move the continent and stop Yan Huayi, a ray of light emerged from the Azure Roaming World and Azure Intellect World respectively.
Naturally, they belonged to a True Immortal.
However, before they could close in on the continents, the aura of more True Immortals appeared on 2 Star Ships that rushed towards Hong Miao and True Immortal Luo who was approaching.
The True Immortals of the Azure Worlds froze in their tracks the moment they felt the sudden appearance.
The Spirit Luxuriant World actually hid 2 True Immortals on their Star Ships!
Be it the Azure Intellect World, Azure Roaming World, or Yan Huayi, all of them were shocked by the sudden revelation! However, they quickly realized that it wasn’t anything to be surprised about.
After all, when the Spirit Luxuriant World first made their appearance, the experts of the Ascendant Faction and the Native Faction were truly disappointed by their lack of strength.
Now that 2 other hidden True Immortals had revealed themselves, the experts of the Ascendant Faction and Native Faction felt a massive weight lifted off their hearts.
They might be surprised, but Yan Huayi, Hong Miao, and True Immortal Luo felt fortunate they didn’t go all in immediately and probed the situation out. If any of them fell into the Spirit Luxuriant World’s trap, they might lose everything!
Due to the backlash from the Spirit Faith World after the continents split off, the True Immortals suffered heavy backlash. Their combat strength was impacted to a certain extent, and even if Yan Huayi were to be surrounded by 4 True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World, he might not be able to deal with them all!
Also, there was also that asshole who had infiltrated the Spirit Faith World and was causing trouble.
When Yan Huayi finally thought about Shang Xia, a sense of unease filled his heart.
That was because he had already left the Heavenly Feather Elysium for some time, but nothing seemed to be happening in their world. It was too quiet, and the situation seemed a little too strange.
He didn’t know how Shang Xia could feel at ease letting Kou Chongxue and the others take the heat above the heavenly screen.
As though confirming Yan Huayi’s thoughts, the heavenly screen in the southeast of the Spirit Faith World started to swell before rapidly retracting. Along with a heaven-shaking explosion, the heavenly screen started to quake.
Yan Huayi also disappeared from above the heavenly screen. The Heavenly Feather Elysium’s grand formation had actually shattered.
