Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 784: Asteroid Shower

Chapter 784: Asteroid Shower

“Divine weapon!” Pang Jingyun and the others felt their hearts trembling in fear as they saw the giant hand retreating through space.

All of them came from impressive backgrounds. Obviously, they could tell that the gray glove was a divine weapon.

Which meant to say, their opponent wasn’t just 2 Martial Dipper Realm experts from the Spirit Abundance World. One of them even had a divine weapon.

If not for Shang Xia tossing out the Five Element Ring to create a barrier to create a separate space, the glove might have grabbed a few of them!

That was right. None of them present doubted the strength of the user of the gray gloves.

The pressure they felt earlier when the glove appeared told them that they were facing an expert at the third element of the Martial Dipper Realm at the very least.

If they were to fight one on one, none of them would even come close! The third element Martial Dipper Realm expert from the Spirit Abundance World would be able to kill any of them!

Fortunately, Shang Xia’s strange five colored barrier had the ability to shift them into a separate space, even if it was only for a moment!

When everyone was still shocked, the barrier dissipated and they were brought back to their original location along the asteroid belt.

However, with the gray gloves scooping away a huge number of asteroids, they stood in a giant patch of emptiness.

From the time they surrounded the clone to the time Shang Xia protected them from the giant gloves, only a second had passed.

The sudden change didn’t affect their abilities as they managed to kill the Fate Dipper Clone before long.

With Shen Baisong and Pang Jingyun joining hands to lock the clone down, Yi Jingzi sent a golden pillar of light over and exterminated its consciousness. Next, Gong Xinlan summoned a ball of flame that turned him into dust that contained the clone’s essence.

When the gray robed clone was killed, 3000 miles away, an enraged roar emerged along with a burst of tyrannical aura. However, the person was smart enough not to charge over.

At the same time, Shang Xia met up with Pang Jingyun and the others’ clones. He discovered that the situation was pretty annoying to deal with.

The person who fell through the region of space to arrive might look like shit and had 2 of his ribs broken, but he was a true blue second element Martial Dipper Realm expert. He possessed extraordinary combat abilities.

Even though the 4 clones also possessed combat strength at the Martial Dipper Realm, the experts who produced it barely gained the ability to do so. Their combat strength was also split into different levels. The clones’ abilities were at the bottom of the barrel when compared to every single Martial Dipper Realm expert out there.

They unleashed everything they had as they rushed towards their target. Not a shred of cooperation could be seen among them. Even though the disturbance they caused was massive, the expert from the Spirit Abundance World easily dodged them all. Just like that, all their energy had been wasted.

If their target was anyone else, they would have started a counterattack with whatever strength they had left after dodging all their attacks. If they took advantage of the fact that the clones were unable to cooperate well, he would most likely be able to heavily injure one before breaking through their encirclement.

Surprisingly, that wasn’t what he did. He continued to rush towards the asteroid that contained his hideout and ran into Shang Xia who was rushing over with the Reversal Five Element Ring in hand. The clones behind him moved about in a fluster as they tried to surround him again.

The cultivator from the Spirit Abundance World not only didn’t try to escape, but he even threw himself headfirst into their trap.

Shang Xia stared at the person before him with an expressionless face as the Reversal Five Element Ring beneath his feet glowed with renewed intensity. The ring of light that was produced not only swallowed the expert from the Spirit Abundance World, but it also engulfed the clones who were flying at him.

No matter how dumb those clones were, they were still produced by Martial Dipper Realm experts. They were able to coordinate with Shang Xia to deploy their battle formation.

The next instant, the battle formation was formed, and the clones immediately felt the flow of energy in their body becoming smoother. Their control over their inner qi also grew stronger as their combat strength was immediately raised by 30 percent. The amount of energy they were wasting also dropped by a significant amount.

Other than Pang Jingyun’s clone, the others already knew the strength of the battle formation when Shang Xia was controlling it. However, they were still shocked by the sudden boost they received when Shang Xia acted for real.

The 4 clones were created from the second fate dipper each of their true body possessed, and they were similar to the Metal, Wood, Water, and Fire Elements to a certain extent.

As Pang Jingyun and the others just managed to create their fate dipper clones, none of the clones worked together in the battle formation before. Even under such circumstances, Shang Xia managed to smoothen the flow of their inner qi. It was an unbelievable feat.

Now that they formed the battle formation, it wasn’t really possible for the expert from the Spirit Abundance World to escape.

From the looks of it, the other side wasn’t planning to run either. He continued to head for the hideout despite being surrounded.

The clones might be sure that there was something strange about the hideout, but they didn’t rush at it mindlessly like before. Under Shang Xia’s head, they continued to shrink the battle formation and limit the other side’s movement before making the preparation to kill or take the other party alive.

Rumble...

The asteroid where the hideout was located was shattered instantly and it seemed as though the expert didn’t care about the treasure within.

Or perhaps... Could the treasure be the asteroid itself?

Shang Xia’s gaze never left the expert from the Spirit Abundance World, but the other party hadn’t glanced at him since he first appeared.

After shattering the asteroid, the expert from the Spirit Abundance World finally stopped. He turned around and glanced at Shang Xia meaningfully with a trace of a smile in his eyes.

With his expression sinking, Shang Xia revealed a sinister expression as he roared, “Attack!”

The moment the word left his lips, Shang Xia’s Chaos Essence Lightning Palm passed through the Reversal Five Element Ring before turning into a giant bolt of lightning that shone the color of the five elements. It flew straight at the head of his target.

Martial intents one comprehended weren’t just a way for them to enter the grand completion stage of their respective cultivation realms. Many cultivators would also call their martial intent ‘True Fate Martial Arts’. That was because it would grow alongside them and always be useful regardless of their cultivation level.

Of course, the strongest it could grow to was proportional to one’s current cultivation realm and be at the level of martial arts they comprehended. It couldn’t replace the martial intent required to step into the grand completion stage of their current level.

Surprisingly, the growth of one’s martial intent seemed to be a little different for Shang Xia.

To be more exact, Shang Xia wasn’t the direct factor. It was because of his Five Element Dipper Qi and Five Element Ring that greatly increased the power of his True Fate Martial Arts.

His Chaos Essence Lightning Palm which used to be a single attack, turned into 5.

Even though every strike only had 60 percent of its original power, all 5 bolts of lightning landed at once. It also seemed to possess the power of different elements within and when it landed, a miraculous change happened.

A miserable scream came from the expert of the Spirit Abundance World and his figure flew about in a haphazard manner as thought to dodge Shang Xia’s strike.

Unfortunately, he was surrounded and the space around him was sealed off by the other 4 clones. He couldn’t run as the lightning bolts snaked directly at him.

Helpless, he could only turn around and give it his all.

Along with a massive explosion, a golden spear light with traces of azure color tore through the void. A soft grunt left the lips of the cultivator as he shattered the lightning bolts.

No matter what, he was a second element Martial Dipper Realm expert at the end of the day. Shang Xia couldn’t kill him with 5 mere strands of five element lightning bolt.

Whatever it was, Shang Xia’s intention wasn’t to kill him directly anyway. He wanted to stall the person for some time and stop him from moving about so that they could surround him a little better.

During their clash earlier, the 4 clones managed to press a little closer and the pressure of their battle formation on him increased greatly. His movements became greatly limited.

If no accidents occurred, there would only be 2 outcomes for the expert of the Spirit Abundance World. The first would be to die in combat and the second was that he would be taken alive.

Shang Xia’s gaze never left the foreign expert, but he discovered that the other party didn’t seem to panic at all.

Not too far away, where Pang Jingyun and the others killed the gray robed clone, they didn’t rush over immediately to assist Shang Xia and the others. Instead, they yelled hastily, “Be careful, the asteroid...”

Shang Xia seemed to have thought of something and so did the other clones. They knew what the true bodies were referring to.

“Asteroid shower, asteroid shower!” Gong Xinlan’s clone yelled.

Shang Xia noticed a trace of a smile appearing on the foreign culivator’s face and the look of satisfaction when their gazes met again.

The originally peaceful asteroid belt started to speed up the next moment because of some sort of foreign influence. The chunks of rocks started to smash into each other while moving in all sorts of haphazard directions. There were even several massive asteroids that flew directly at Shang Xia and the others as the disturbance continued to grow.
