Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1261: Welp Shit.

Shang Xia targeted everyone who tried to sneak up on him earlier, and there were 5 True Immortals in total and 11 Martial Dipper Realm cultivators.

The moment the 11 Martial Dipper Realm cultivators discovered he was a high-level True Immortal, they tried to flee as quickly as they could.

However, the phantom rods Shang Xia sent out weren’t going to let go of their target as it passed through the void to close in on them.

Understanding that they wouldn’t be able to flee, the Martial Dipper Realm cultivators turned around and resisted with all their might. They were helpless as that was the only thing left to do.

Many of them had life-saving treasures or some sort of artifact they could use to protect themselves. Some even threw out high-level talismans or divine artifacts.

As the phantom rods fell, 7 were killed instantly. Of the rest… 1 of them activated their treasure to protect their physical body, but Shang Xia’s Starry Disorder had the ability to attack one’s soul. Even though his body was perfectly preserved, his soul was exterminated, leaving him a lifeless corpse. Another threw out several rank five talismans but they were crushed easily. When the remnant energy in the strike brushed past him, his dantian exploded and his cultivation was crippled. He wouldn’t be able to live in the sea of stars for long. Another used a rank six protection talisman, but his legs were blown to pieces. The last expert used a divine weapon to stop Shang Xia’s strike, but it slammed into him due to the backlash and his body was turned into a living pancake.

With the Martial Dipper Realm cultivators dealt with, Shang Xia had to handle the True Immortals next.

They planned to stop Shang Xia as they refused to believe he would be able to take them all on at the same time, but the moment they tried to stop his Starry Disorder, their expressions changed.

The phantom rods he created didn’t contain the same amount of power. He didn’t use much effort to kill the Martial Dipper Realm cultivators. Because of his powerful control over his inner qi, he was able to easily split up his energy and he was extremely confident in his abilities.

The 5 True Immortals suffered heavy injuries from his strike.

They couldn’t make sense of what was happening no matter what. They felt that even if Shang Xia was a high-level True Immortal, he shouldn’t be able to take so many of them on at once, but they were clearly mistaken.

Seeing how strong Shang Xia was even after splitting up his attack, they wondered how strong he would be if he actually fought them 1 on 1.

It wasn’t as though they hadn’t seen fourth tier True Immortals, but Shang Xia was a true anomaly. They hadn’t seen anyone who had reached such a terrifying level, and despair was the only thing that filled their minds.

Countless thoughts ran through their mind, but their thoughts wouldn’t cause Shang Xia’s attack to weaken.

5 beautiful firework-like blasts happened and a strong spatial current was created. Everything vertically within 3000 miles of Shang Xia and 5000 miles in the horizontal direction was thrown into chaos as cultivators fighting in the area started to flee.

That happened even after Shang Xia intentionally weakened the explosion at the very end. Otherwise, if he used his full power, the area he affected would be a whole lot larger!

One had to know that when Kou Chongxue entered the fourth element of the Martial Dipper Realm in the past, his sword qi could also cleave a high-level Martial Dipper Realm expert 30,000 miles away. Shang Xia was at the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm at the moment, countless times stronger than the old Kou Chongxue.

In the past, Kou Chongxue’s sword strike was shockingly powerful, but he didn’t seem to be able to exert too much control over it.

The more condensed the power was and the more control one had over it, the more terrifying an attack was.

We’re going to die…

This will cause some serious injuries…

I can’t block that!

Countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the True Immortals who took the brunt of the blow.

Of them a second tier True Immortal seemed to have discovered something and he screamed, “Wait! I’m from the Spirit Thistle World… We’re on the same side…”

As his words fell, the powerful phantom rod that was about to strike him scattered and stirred up the region of space around him. However, he didn’t suffer any injuries.

Watching what Shang Xia did, the second tier True Immortal from the Spirit Thistle World couldn’t help but gasp inwardly.

The only high-level True Immortal of the Spirit Luxuriant World actually has such immaculate control over his strength!

How can someone who barely stepped into the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm achieve something like this?

That wasn’t all. He thought about the high-level True Immortals of his world and realized that they paled in comparison to Shang Xia.

Without a doubt, they had severely underestimated the strength of the Spirit Luxuriant World!

At the same time, another 3 first tier True Immortals were struck by the phantom rods and suffered heavy injuries. They were on the brink of death and they looked extremely pitiful.

As for the final True Immortal… He was a third tier Martial Void Realm expert and he managed to run further than the others, but the expert from the Spirit Thistle World was willing to bet that even though he had already left his field of vision, he would suffer heavy injuries as well.

A clear voice rang in his ears all of a sudden. “Greetings. I am Shang Xia of the Spirit Luxuriant World. How can I address you, fellow cultivator of the Spirit Thistle World?”

The second tier True Immortal of the Spirit Thistle World was shocked as he looked at the young cultivator who had arrived several dozen miles from him without him noticing.

He cupped his fists respectfully in Shang Xia’s direction and muttered, “I am Hua Yu of the Spirit Thistle World… I greet True Immortal Shang!”

“Oh? True Immortal Hua Yu… Well met.” Shang Xia smiled.

He heard of Hua Yu and it was said that when the Spirit Luxuriant World had conquered the Azure Flame World, Hua Yu had shown up with True Immortals of other worlds to cause trouble for them.

Hua Yu revealed an awkward smile. “I am grateful that you showed mercy… The strength of a high-level True Immortal really leaves me in awe!”

Shang Xia laughed, “I apologize if I offended you earlier. How is the situation at the Spirit Tinkle World now? True Immortal Hua, do you know where the True Immortals of my world are?”

“Oh? True Immortal Shang, of course there’s no offense here! I was rash and offended you first!” Hua Yu waved his hands hurriedly after hearing what Shang Xia said before he continued, “As for the True Immortals of your Spirit Luxuriant World… I apologize, but I don’t know where they are at the moment.”

Seeing Shang Xia’s stunned expression, he forced a chuckle and quickly continued, “The True Immortals of your world followed the True Immortals of my world over. However, I was in the Star Origin Dao Field and I rushed over from there after hearing the news. I was swept along in the battle the moment I arrived, and I have been fighting the entire time…”

“Are you really not able to contact those from your world? Do you also not have any information on the situation?” Shang Xia frowned.

After thinking for a moment, Hua Yu explained, “Of the 4 True Immortals you injured earlier, Tian Moran of the Star Origin Dao Field should be present. Right, you also killed several Star Origin Guards…”

Shang Xia’s gaze froze and he understood Hua Yu was trying to convey a message. He couldn’t help but growl, “Is that true? If the Star Origin Guards are running around in small teams… Would that mean that their grand battle formation has fallen?”

Hua Yu nodded solemnly.

It’s exactly what you’re thinking…

Shang Xia smelled the stench of a massive plot brewing and he continued to ask, “Is the alliance between the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World to take over the Spirit Tinkle World real?”

“Of course it is! The heavenly screen of the Spirit Tinkle World has already been broken in many places and experts have already killed their way in. If they are only putting up an act to mess up the tempo of the Star Origin Dao Field, the Spirit Tinkle World will be crazy for sacrificing so much.”

With his brows furrowing even deeper, Shang Xia muttered, “Isn’t there a fourth tier Elysium True Immortal protecting the Spirit Tinkle World? How can the heavenly screen break so easily?”

A bitter smile hung on Hua Yu’s face. “I didn’t come that early! Other than Tian Moran who was part of the Star Origin Guards, of the other 2, 1 first tier True Immortals come from the Azure Star World. Another first tier True Immortal came from the Azure Sea World. The one who ran further was True Immortal Liu Yunzi of the Spirit Mammoth World. When you arrived, all of us were locked in bitter combat. To be more exact, I was working with the True Immortal from the Azure Star World to hold Liu Yunzi back. Tian Moran was fighting with the first tier True Immortal of the Azure Sea World. Sometimes, I will work with Tian Moran to fight out opponents but the True Immortal from the Azure Sea World is pretty much in cahoots with Liu Yunzi.”

“Oh?” Shang Xia raised an eyebrow and tapped into the void casually. The first tier True Immortal from the Azure Sea World was killed the next second as his divine soul was extinguished.

The other True Immortals were drifting about on the last breaths.

As for Tian Moran… Shang Xia naturally couldn’t just kill him himself. He turned to look at Hua Yu and made a single gesture.

Hua Yu reacted instantly. He released a soft chuckle before sending a palm strike in Tian Moran’s direction. Tian Moran’s dying figure was blasted into cosmic dust as he turned into a cloud of dense energy that disappeared among the strong spatial fluctuations.

Shang Xia nodded in content before sending a Chaos Essence Lightning Palm to turn the other True Immortal into dust.

Since he had already dealt them heavy injuries, there was no point in letting them live and bear a grudge against him.

Now that only the 2 of them were left, they inspected the area and discovered there wasn’t anyone else in the region of space that had been affected by Shang Xia’s attack earlier.

However… Just to be safe, Shang Xia didn’t plan on staying where they were and he nodded at Hua Yu. “Let’s leave this place first.”

Hua Yu couldn’t be happier to travel alongside a high-level True Immortal, and a tyrannically powerful one at that.

They concealed their presence as they crossed over 10,000 miles to close in on the Spirit Tinkle World.

With the lesson from before, they were extremely careful as they made their way over, afraid to be dragged into some random battlefield like Shang Xia was before.
