Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1118: Returning
Yan Huayi, who had already been taught a lesson before, wouldn’t allow the other party to wreak havoc on his Elysium freely!
Other than the rank six protection formation, Yan Huayi allowed Lan Zhengfeng to protect his Elysium.
Even though Lan Zhengfeng had been seriously injured before, with him staying in the Heavenly Feather Elysium, no one would be able to take over it easily!
In actual fact, after Shang Xia attacked the Heavenly Feather Elysium, Lan Zhengfeng managed to properly deploy the power of the Elysium that Yan Huayi allowed him to control. He managed to hold Shang Xia off the first time with the help of the grand formation. Shang Xia failed to cause too much damage the first time, much less affect its foundations.
Just as Yan Huayi thought that Shang Xia had no way of breaking into his Elysium and could focus on dealing with the other True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World, Shang Xia shattered the grand formation with 1 massive strike!
Even though he only broke the grand formation and failed to injure Lan Zhengfeng or affect the foundation of the Heavenly Feather Elysium, how could Yan Huayi allow him to continue doing whatever he liked?
Also, it only took a mere thought for an Elysium True Immortal to return to his Elysium when they were close to the world.
Yan Huayi couldn’t be bothered with the 4 continents with his home getting backdoored. He reappeared in his Elysium the next second.
Lan Zhengfeng wasn’t surprised to see him again. He sighed softly, “Apologies. He possesses really strange skills. He has some way to grind away at restrictions and he can even cause them to be unable to recover. It’s actually similar to the Twin Fusion Palm the Guyuan Sect is known for, but it’s a lot stronger!”
Yan Huayi grunted coldly once before appearing outside his Elysium.
Lan Zhengfeng couldn’t help but shake his head slowly while still remaining in the Elysium. However, now that Yan Huayi was back, he wouldn’t choose to stay for long. Soon, he took his leave.
The Heavenly Feather Sect was thrown into chaos after their grand formation was broken, but there weren’t too many of them who suffered serious injuries. Other than the grand formation that had been shattered, nothing had been lost.
As for Shang Xia, who caused everything, had long since disappeared. Yan Huayi and Lan Zhengfeng could also tell that by the time they reacted, Shang Xia had already gone out to regroup with the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World.
There was no doubt about it. This time, Yan Huayi’s attempt to join hands with the experts of the Azure Worlds ended in failure.
It didn’t matter if they were from the Ascendant Faction or the Native Faction at that point. Not many people had the ability to stop them from bringing the continents away.
In the void above the heavenly screen, when Shang Xia caught up to Kou Chongxue and Huang Jinghan who were escorting the continent away, they had already moved close to 10,000 miles from the Spirit Faith World.
“How much did we lose?” Shang Xia asked after noticing that Kou Chongxue and Huang Jinghan were fine.
At the same time, he felt the familiar aura from the Star Ships.
Huang Jinghan replied, “We brought a total of 83 Star Ships over during the expedition. There were 147 Martial Dipper Realm experts and 927 Martial Extermination Realm cultivators. There were also Martial Intent Realm disciples who were stationed on the Star Ships, and there were 1623 of them. After the operation, we have 71 Star Ships left. However, most of them fell in the 4 continents and we will be able to salvage and repair them in the future. 14 Martial Dipper Realm experts were killed and there were many who suffered heavy injuries but can still recover. However, there are 13 more whose foundations were affected and can never advance in the future. As for those in the Martial Extermination Realm, 117 of them were killed and there were 50 or so of them who suffered heavy injuries. 300 or so disciples in the Martial Intent Realm died, and none of the others suffered much injuries.”
Shang Xia couldn’t help but grit his teeth after hearing their battle statistics. “Looks like we might have lost quite a bit this time!”
In response, Kou Chongxue chuckled, “The Spirit Faith World isn’t the Azure Flame World. Even though we suffered more losses because of how much rush we were in, the world essence in the continents far surpasses that of the Azure Flame World. It’s definitely beneficial to us in the long term.”
Shang Xia’s mood finally turned for the better after Kou Chongxue’s reassurance.
Turning back to look in the direction of the Three Worlds, Shang Xia muttered in a low voice, “They should have already discovered the strange aura of our True Immortals on those Star Ships by now… Do you think they will give chase?”
“Haha! Of those who were scared away by our Illusion Talismans, one was Hong Miao of the Azure Intellect World and True Immortal Luo of the Spirit Roaming World.” Kou Chongxue didn’t answer the question and he threw out a random comment of his own.
Shang Xia was slightly taken aback and he asked, “Did True Immortal Zhu not make a move?”
Kou Chongxue smiled while shaking his head.
“Looks like they really gave up. I didn’t think that Yan Huayi would be so daring. He actually allowed Lan Zhengfeng to take his place and protect his Heavenly Feather Elysium back then and schemed against the third tier True Immortal. Lan Zhengfeng nearly fell for the trap, but I destroyed the grand formation at the very last moment. Haha! Perhaps Yan Huayi and Lan Zhengfeng’s relationship will sour after this!” Shang Xia burst out laughing.
The True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World joked about as the continents traveled more than 10,000 miles from the Spirit Faith World.
The Azure Worlds also managed to distance themselves by tens of thousands of miles by that time, but due to the fact that the 9 western continents were where the True Immortals of the Ascendant Faction used to advance, their progress of pulling away was slow. Also, due to the greater number of continents the Ascendant Faction was pulling away, the speed of which they were leaving was comparable to the Spirit Luxuriant World.
After the distance between them grew above the 100,000 miles mark, they might still be in Yan Huayi’s attack range, but the further they got, the weaker Yan Huayi would get if he attacked them.
However, with everyone so far away, the Azure Worlds didn’t seem too interested in the Spirit Luxuriant World anymore.
Also, they had to mention the split of the 9 western continents. Shang Xia and the others didn’t know how they reached an agreement, but the Azure Intellect world took 5 while the rest went to the Azure Roaming World.
As the True Immortals of the Azure Intellect World went to grab their 5 continents, they started to send them through the heavenly screen. The spiritual light the heavenly screen emitted started to grow in intensity and after it reached a certain level, the world seemed to tremble. The Azure Intellect World completed some sort of transformation and it started its ascension progress.
Even though many experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World had been through the world ascension process back on their worlds, it was the first time they observed another world going through a transformation. Many of them were intrigued by it.
Unlike them, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World actually turned to the Azure Roaming World.
The Azure Roaming World was a little smaller than the Azure Intellect World to begin with, and that also resulted in the heavenly screen being a little smaller. The spiritual light it emitted was also a bit weaker.
Looking at the Azure Roaming World, it was likely they wouldn’t grow as much as the Azure Intellect World!
As the Azure Roaming World gained less than the Azure Intellect World, the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World didn’t notice any transformation to their world even after they traveled 300,000 miles.
