Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1270: Grand Completion Pt.4
While the True Immortals of the Star Origin Field were still confused and suspicious, the True Immortals of the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World made another move.
The aura of True Immortals that had been expelled earlier due to the strengthening starlight curtain reappeared. The True Immortals of the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World were clearly behind it.
The reason behind their actions was simple. Since there was a hidden power in the dark who had the ability to disrupt the flow of the Star Origin Dao Field, they would simply get everyone back to fuck with the Star Origin Dao Field. After all, their actions would help win over the allegiances of the weaker True Immortals while screwing up the Star Origin Dao Field who had already been screwing them over. It was a massive win-win situation!
Shang Xia also reacted quickly. The moment he discovered their aura, he increased the power of absorption of his Crimson Soul Tablet.
However, he quickly discovered that the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World weren’t the only ones helping their allies return to the Spirit Tinkle World. The Spirit Tinkle World and Spirit Thistle World were working hard to drag their experts back.
In less than an hour, the number of True Immortals within the containment of the starlight curtain didn’t just return to its original number. In fact, even more experts who took part in the battle in the past arrived.
The only thing that was a little awkward was that no one came to work together with the 3 True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World.
Shang Xia didn’t find it sad at all though. He was happy that was the case and Kou Chongxue and Yin Jingxu couldn’t be bothered with anything else that was happening as they were absorbing all the world origin they could.
Because of the increased number of True Immortals, Shang Xia didn’t keep the rate of absorption the same. Instead, he urged the Crimson Soul Tablet on a little more and drew close to 70 percent of the stream of world origin the Star Origin Dao Field was taking.
The True Immortals of the Star Origin Dao Field were pretty much going mad at that point. They didn’t know anything about the hidden expert, or the hidden faction that was absorbing the world origin.
With even more True Immortals in the mix, the disruption to their senses was even stronger, making them unable to do a thing.
What made them even more anxious was the consequences of their failure to retrieve enough world origin.
All of a sudden, a profound yet aged aura came from the depths of the sea of stars. Not a single True Immortal failed to sense the chilly intent it contained.
“Which one of you fellow True Immortals are playing this joke on me?”
Even though no soundwave traveled through the sea of stars, the voice rang clearly in everyone’s ears.
Shang Xia felt an urge to admit that he was behind it, but he quickly snapped back to reality and quashed it.
The voice had the ability to affect one’s divine soul, and Shang Xia felt a trace of lingering fear. There was no doubt about it. Anyone who could do something like that had to be the sixth tier True Immortal of the Star Origin Lord Mano, Zhuo Gudao.
Then again, if that was the case, his strength was pretty tyrannical. He could affect the divine souls of so many True Immortals even while projecting his power such a long distance away.
Finally realizing what was going on, Shang Xia discovered that he had weakened the devouring abilities of the Crimson Soul Tablet such that only 40 percent of the stream of world origin going to the Star Origin Dao Field was plundered. While putting on an expression of shock like the rest, he quickly increased it back to its original level.
“Preposterous!” Zhuo Gudao’s voice rang in their minds again, and it was clear he was enraged this time.
A strange fluctuation came from the depths of the void and it rushed straight for the exposed continents of the Spirit Tinkle World. From the looks of it, the attack was directed at every True Immortal other than those from the Star Origin Dao Field.
With the arrival of the strange fluctuation, the Seven Stars Seven Tribulation Formation was deactivated and the starlight curtain disappeared. Everyone was exposed to the terrifying waves of energy rushing towards them.
The True Immortals of the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World acted at the same time. They no longer bothered with the absorption of world origin and retreated in unison, trying to leave the region affected by the shockwave.
The high-level True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World called out to Shang Xia and the others before rushing under the heavenly screen.
Even without their reminder, Shang Xia and the rest knew what they had to do. Also, when the spatial fluctuations arrived earlier, Shang Xia had already cut off the absorption ability of the Crimson Soul Tablet. However, he didn’t rush into the heavenly screen like Kou Chongxue and Yin Jingxu. Instead, he put on an expression of extreme greed as he tried to absorb as much world origin as possible. Only at the very last second did he reveal a panicked expression to follow behind the rest.
As soon as they passed through the heavenly screen, it was struck by the powerful wave of energy. It was ravaged and it looked like it would shatter the next second.
Strangely enough, the strange power didn’t break the heavenly screen. It passed through the formless screen and continued into the Spirit Tinkle World. Fortunately, it was greatly weakened the moment it entered the world.
Kou Chongxue was the fastest to react. He slashed his Hidden Frost Sword behind him and tore apart the void. However, the powerful wave of energy didn’t seem affected as it continued on its way to the others.
Yin Jingxu wanted to try to stall the energy wave, but after seeing Kou Chongxue’s futile attempt, he decided to not even try.
As for Shang Xia… He raised his Stone Staff and swung it several times, and a deep blast was produced.
Everything contained in his domain, including the void, seemed to have been frozen. Even the energy wave that was rushing towards them slowed down by ten times!
