Splitting the Heavens

Even Shang Xia didn’t expect that unleashing his martial intent would deplete so much inner qi. However, after some self-reflection, he discovered he had been overly ambitious. After all… He was trying to force an Azure World to ascend!

For him to still maintain his strength as a sixth tier True Immortal was already a massive feat!

Precisely because Shang Xia was overly depleted, the previously agreed plan to use two large Star Ships to coordinate with Shang Xia in holding off the strongest spiritual beast king and others in the process could no longer proceed.

In his current state, there was no way he could hold back an existence at the grand completion stage of the Martial Void Realm. The Star Ships Song Zhen and Zhu Nang manned would inevitably become the targets of the other spiritual beast kings of the Spirit Frost World since he couldn’t protect them.

Watching as the two ships returned to the heavenly screen, Xin Lu and Yan Ming swiftly departed, leaving Shang Xia alone on the floating continent.

The only thing Shang Xia could hope for was the spiritual beast kings of the Spirit Frost World to arrive a little later so he could restore as much energy as possible.

This time, he did not use essence crystals or spirit gathering formations. He drew energy directly from the Crimson Soul Tablet and refined it with his Six Harmony Flawless Rod Technique. It was the most efficient method, but even with his foundations, he wouldn’t be able to restore himself to his peak condition in a short time.

However, Shang Xia felt his heart throbbing the next moment as though a great crisis was about to befall him.

Suddenly, layers of spatial ripples piled up in the void, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Shang Xia. They transformed into a tsunami-like spatial wave that pushed for the floating continent.

When Shang Xia felt that he was about to be reduced to cosmic dust under the assault of the spatial wave, he didn’t resist at all. Instead, he arched his body backward and started to fall, plunging straight for the heavenly screen with the momentum of the impact.

During his fall, Shang Xia appeared not to use any movement technique. Even so, he fell faster and faster, as though the world was drawing him in.

Accompanied by a muffled sound in the void, the floating continent, which had been temporarily used as a base of operations by the Twin Star Pirates, was reduced to mere dust.

The ripples in the void quickly followed Shang Xia's falling figure.

A giant white-headed ape king, who leaped 10,000 miles with each movement, emerged from the depths of the void. After a few flashes through space, it arrived near the previously destroyed floating land.

At the same time, the spatial wave smashed into the heavenly screen as Shang Xia’s figure disappeared beneath it.

Tens of thousands of miles away, the ape king stared at the spot above the Azure Ruling World where Shang Xia disappeared and frowned. "Dead... Dead?" The ape king could speak human language, but disbelief was evident on its face.

It was certain that the human cultivator who had just fallen was the same one who had stood alone on the other side of the spatial barrier earlier and stood against him. The fluctuations of his qi and his aura were unmistakable.

However, he was surprised about the lack of inner qi in the supreme expert who stood against him earlier!

Did his solo effort earlier drain him out completely? If that is so, the almost full mobilization of the spiritual beast kings from the Spirit Frost World is completely unnecessary!

Hmm, that human fell straight into the Azure World and he’s definitely a high-level True Immortal Since he can enter the world… He has to be dead, right?

The beasts from the Spirit Frost World weren’t amateurs. They invaded other worlds many times in recent years and knew that high-level True Immortals couldn’t exist in Azure Worlds.

The ape king's eyes shimmered with golden light, attempting to peer through the heavenly screen to see the interior of the Azure Ruling World, wanting to see if divine retribution targeted at high-rank True Immortals would descend.

However, it did not!

That could only mean that the human had already died before he fell through the heavenly screen!

Yet, as the ape king observed the interior of the Azure Ruling World, it seemed to detect some kind of change occurring within. It was a change that was causing its senses to tingle.

The next moment, more spiritual beast kings arrived through the void, causing the void thousands of miles around them to roll about in a mess.

The spiritual beast king that had originally led the way and was enveloped in nebulous starlight, was not the strongest among the rest. However, it seemed to hold a very high status.

It stepped forward again and emitted strange cries toward the ape king, seemingly asking why they weren’t attacking the world immediately.

The ape king let out a deep rumbling growl, and then, surprisingly, spoke like a human, "This world... No, look... Take a look!"

If Shang Xia were present, he would recognize the voice as the creature he had confronted in the spatial tunnel!

The beast king with wings turned and looked towards the heavenly screen of the Azure Ruling World. With starlight swirling around its body converging towards its eyes, the interior of the Azure Ruling World became a lot clearer.

Unfortunately, it was the only one who could see what was happening down there.

The scene was actually very similar to what Yuan Qiuyuan experienced when he activated the Star Observatory.

That meant that the winged beast king covered in starlight had natural talents making it comparable to a Grand Stargazer! It was also the reason they could locate the Azure Ruling World! That also explained its status despite it being at the level of a third tier True Immortal.

Staring at the heavenly screen for around half an hour, the other spiritual beast kings started to become restless.

However, their feelings were suppressed with a low growl from the ape king. The void instantly calmed down.

After a while, the winged beast king seemed to discover something and turned to the ape king with a series of urgent strange cries.

The ape king immediately roared furiously, "Are you... Are you sure?"

With its wings fluttering, the starlight around its body started to swirl about violently.

The ape king then let out a thunderous roar, pointing towards the heavenly screen of the Azure Ruling World. All the spiritual beast kings that had gathered rushed at it at once.

No matter what, high-level True Immortal-level existences would never be able to enter lower-leveled worlds. However, that didn’t mean that the world couldn’t be damaged from the outside.

The attacks Shang Xia had witnessed on other worlds were mostly aimed at maximizing value through plunder. That was why everyone invaded the world in order to ensure the least damage possible to secure the world origin source and continents.

The group of spiritual beast kings from the Spirit Frost World clearly lacked such awareness, or perhaps they were not capable of scheming surprises like human cultivators. Their assault on the Azure Ruling World was aimed at quickly breaking and destroying them.

Relying on their massive size and formidable physiques, those spiritual beast kings ignored the suppression of the World’s Will and those who weren’t high-level True Immortals barged through the heavenly screen. The other stirred up the space outside, sending strong spatial fluctuations into the Azure Ruling World.

Faced with the invasion of the spiritual beast kings from the Spirit Frost World, several native beast kings of the Azure Ruling World, led by the colorful bird king, appeared above the heavenly screen to take on the pressure.

Unfortunately, after the fierce battle with the Twin Star Pirates, several spiritual beast kings were unable to do battle. The snake beast king and the tiger-leopard beast king were unable to fight.

The vine beast king was also at a critical moment of breaking through and couldn’t move a muscle.

With just a few of them, even if they had the home ground advantage, couldn’t possibly withstand the assault of the spiritual beast kings of the Spirit Frost World!

Thankfully, the Shi Brothers, who managed to stabilize their foundations with Shang Xia’s help while also gaining the recognition of the World’s Will, managed to join forces. With the boost in strength from the World’s Will, they were able to rival a third tier True Immortal.

At the same time, 2 Star Ships manned by Song Zhen and Zhu Nang, served as moving fortresses to defend the Azure Ruling World.

They might be able to put up some resistance, but when they counted the aggressive spiritual beast kings of the Spirit Frost World, it was far from enough!
