Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1027: 4 Way Split of the Azure Flame World

Chapter 1027: 4 Way Split of the Azure Flame World

Along with Lu Wuzi and Shang Xia’s appearance in the Azure Flame World, the situation basically changed instantly. They didn’t do anything, but the pressure the cultivators of the Azure Flame World faced increased drastically.

With the Spirit Luxuriant World’s promise that they wouldn’t harm the Northern Chihuang Continent, more and more cultivators of the Azure Flame World lost their desire to resist as they started to make their way over.

Without strong resistance from the cultivators of the Azure Flame World, the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World quickly took over the Eastern Nuanyuan and Western Wenchen continents.

As for the Southern Yanlin Continent, there were no accidents to begin with. All they had to do was to meet up with the members of the Yanlin Clan who gave their full cooperation.

Kou Chongxue, Shang Xia, and Lu Wuzi could feel the resistance of the World’s Will weakening rapidly, and they were able to quickly restore themselves to somewhere around their peak state. As for Shang Xia… He felt the resistance from the World’s Will disappearing completely.

It might have something to do with how the World’s Will was weakened as many native cultivators of the Azure Flame World died or left for the Northern Chihuang Continent, but all that mattered was that he was no longer weakened.

Even though time was of the essence, the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World were scouring the Azure Flame World for any resource they could find to send them back to their Star Ships.

It wasn’t that they were wasting their time, but the moment the True Immortals started to split the world up, there would be a lot of resources that would cease to exist due to the sudden diminished world origin they were once provided.

The more precious those herbs were, the higher the requirements required for them to grow!

With the end of the Azure Flame World, those herbs and resources would cease to exist!

Even if they managed to bring the continents back to the Spirit Luxuriant World and complete the fusion process, in the short time that it took to assimilate into the World Origin Source, a batch of resources would be lost! Moreover, those would be the most precious treasures!

That was how cruel a battle between worlds was!

It was also why every time a world was about to be taken over, the invaders would search through the world for precious treasures. Even if they had to dig 3 feet… No, even if they had to dig 300 feet into the ground, they would do it!

It was a pity the Spirit Luxuriant World’s expedition to the Azure Flame World was too rushed.

They didn’t have too much time to look for treasures and could only grab anything they could find.

When they integrated the continents back into the Spirit Luxuriant World, they would definitely produce another batch of treasures with the world origin infused back into the world, but that was another story.

Also, other than transporting valuable resources back, those Star Ships were mainly used to ferry the refugees from the destroyed world. They mostly consisted of mortals, and they would mainly save those living in regions of danger when the world would be broken down like the coastal areas or giant valleys.

Close to a hundred Star Ships of all sizes, along with around 30 they obtained from the Azure Flame World managed to contain 60,000 aboriginals of the Azure Flame World. Most of them being children.

Due to the tight timeline they were on, most of the aboriginals were forced onto the ships. Other than the clothes they wore on them, they basically didn’t have anything else.

That alone was more than enough to show how much of a rush the Spirit Luxuriant World was in. Their weak foundations were also shown in the lack of Star Ships.

When Shang Xia thought back to the massive fleets that the Spirit Abundance World sent to the Azure Oddity World, there were hundreds, if not thousands of them! They were sent continuously over the course of an entire year! Moreover, that was only one of the many worlds that went to invade the Azure Oddity World! If they included the other worlds, how many would that be?!

Back then, when the various worlds conquered the Azure Oddity World, they didn’t leave so much as a blade of grass!

…

“Alright. Let’s do this. We won’t be able to maintain the disrupted space outside the heavenly screen for long and a day or two would be the max. Moreover, we need stable space in order to transport these continents back to our world.” Kou Chongxue sent a transmission to Shang Xia and Lu Wuzi.

With a look of regret, Lu Wuzi sighed, “We really didn’t have much time… It’s a pity, a true pity… The moment we integrate these continents back into our world, there will be a huge reshuffling… I don’t know how much of the Azure Flame World would be left…”

However, Shang Xia chuckled in response. “No matter what, our strength is limited. From the reactions of the Star Origin Guards and the other worlds, it seems like conquering a world alone is something not usually seen…”

“We would be lucky to be able to retain 70 percent of the essence of the Azure Flame World without the Northern Chihuang Continent… After all, there would be a lot of wasted energy during the trip back.” Lu Wuzi continued to grumble.

However, Shang Xia seemed a lot more optimistic than Lu Wuzi. “Heh, we would have earned big if we managed to retain half the essence of the Azure Flame World. Don’t forget, we’re definitely going to run into trouble on the way back!”

Kou Chongxue’s voice also rang in their minds the next moment. “The essence of the Azure Flame World is concentrated in the Eastern Nuanyuan Continent and the Western Wenchen Continent. The Star Origin Guards and the other worlds don’t know what we know, and if we manage to avoid letting them plunder those continents along the way, we will be able to retain a good portion of the Azure Flame World’s essence. Whatever it is, we’ll play it by ear. As long as we retain 2 continents, we’ll be able to keep close to half the essence of the world.”

Lu Wuzi and Shang Xia immediately understood what Kou Chongxue had planned. The Northern Chihuang Continent they gave up wasn’t everything he was prepared to lose. When the time came, they would be willing to give up on the Southern Yanlin Continent. Anyway, the members of Yanlin Clan had already been given a place in the Jiao Continent back in the Spirit Luxuriant World. Even if they lost the Southern Yanlin Continent, it wouldn’t affect them too much.

Even though they were reluctant to lose another portion of the Azure Flame World, they knew that it might be the best way to deal with whatever was to come.

As Lu Wuzi stationed himself in the Southern Yanlin Continent, Kou Chongxue maintained his position in the Eastern Nuanyuan Continent. Shang Xia, the last of them, took up his role in the Western Wenchen Continent. They started to release their energy as the Azure Flame World experienced armageddon.

Rivers were destroyed as seas started to split.

The experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World who received news earlier started to pull their Star Ships out of the heavenly screen before it happened. As for the cultivators in the Northern Chihuang Continent, Kou Chongxue and the others had already warned them what would happen.

The spatial disturbance that filled 300,000 miles above the heavenly screen started to calm down as their Star Ships emerged, and they quickly formed into 3 groups. They started to fly in different directions away from the heavenly screen and only slowed down when they were 50,000 miles away from the heavenly screen.

Those in the ships started to look in the direction of the Azure Flame World. There were cultivators of the Spirit Luxuriant World among them, and there were also mortals of the Azure Flame World. It was probably the only time those mortals would ever be able to see such a magnificent sight where a world was destroyed…

With hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes staring at the scene, the heavenly screen of the Azure Flame World split into 4.

They covered the 4 continents that slowly drifted apart from each other and started to restore itself. Every continent became a separate entity.

Kou Chongxue managed to stabilize the Eastern Nuanyuan Continent before the others, and Lu Wuzi quickly did the same to the Southern Yanlin Continent. Finally, Shang Xia’s Western Wenchen Continent regained its peace. Eventually, the Northern Chihuang Continent that housed the experts of the Azure Flame World calmed down.

Even though the flying ships were already 50,000 miles away, they still felt a powerful shockwave crashing into them from the destruction of the world and the leaking world origin.

Fortunately, they were prepared. All of them activated their protection formations at once. There was at least a rank three Formation Master on board each ship, and most of the ships could connect with each other. The formations on them formed a giant system that was controlled by at least 5 Formation Grandmasters. There were also multiple Martial Dipper Realm experts present and with dozens of them working together, they easily withstood the world origin storm.

Among the 3 fleets, with the exception of experts in the Martial Dipper Realm, no one managed to detect any strange disturbances. Only after the storm quelled did the fleets turn back to return to the 3 continents.

When they finally approached the continents, a flying shuttle appeared above every single Star Ship before shooting into the continent.

Those dozens of flying ships might seem like a speck of dust above those continents, but those specks of dust had the ability to drag those continents through space. They slowly flew towards the spatial tunnel that had been opened earlier.

As the continents left, 3 figures appeared in the void nearby. The person in front of them had a majestic aura as he carried a heavy sword on his back. He spoke to the 2 beside him, “So… From the looks of it, they gave up on the Northern Chihuang Continent?”

On his left, a person who looked somewhat similar to Yang Taihe, but had slightly blurry features, muttered, “A single continent will never be enough to satisfy those worlds. The Star Origin City is aiming for the Elysium anyway. Whatever it is, they only dare to act with such audacity because our Spirit Luxuriant World lacks the capability to swallow the Azure Flame World ourselves!”

…

At the same time, 300,000 or so miles away from where the Azure Flame World once stood, space started to tremble as multiple tunnels opened up. Every one of them contained a True Immortal or two.

“Heh, this is the world origin of a foreign world!” The Distant Exertion King of the Dajun Dynasty in the Spirit Abundance World, Xiong Chunyang, snorted the moment he emerged from his spatial tunnel. He immediately discovered the world origin that leaked from the remains of the Azure Flame World as a look of disdain appeared on his face.
