Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 83: Two Long Chains and A Massive Spear

Chapter 83: Two Long Chains and A Massive Spear

The longer he stayed in the battlefield between the two worlds, the more Shang Xia understood about the Azure Spiritual World.

He concluded that the cultivators of the Azure Spiritual World placed a very strong emphasis on their bloodlines.

The purity of their bloodline would determine their strength and achievements in the future. As such, the purity of their bloodlines also decided their status in their world.

There were times when a cultivator who hadn’t stepped through the gates of the Martial Realm would receive more care and attention from their faction than a Martial Realm cultivator with low bloodline purity.

In the Azure Spiritual World, they split themselves up into different races based on their bloodlines.

Moreover, there were different castes in each race. The Wind Swallow Race was a good example. Those who had high bloodline purity were known to possess the ‘Swallow Bloodline’. Those who weren’t were known to possess a ‘Sparrow Bloodline’.

Of course, the way they split themselves caused a lot of hatred between the two classes.

That was one of the reasons members who were known to possess the ‘Swallow Bloodline’ were more inclined to be called ‘purebloods’. They termed anyone with a Sparrow Bloodline a ‘mix blood’, and it sounded extremely insulting.

The separation was all the more obvious in the Wind Swallow Race. The purebloods were given extremely high positions in the race and special rights, and they would be given the honorable race name, ‘Yan’. The others would be given names with ‘Que’ and the race name given to them would be said after their own, making it sound kind of derogatory.

The disdain the purebloods had for the others was obvious, from the way Yan Su’er spoke.

That was also why Yan Que was an extremely unique name among the Wind Swallow Race.

Shang Xi pointed out the problem in order to humiliate the other party and weaken their momentum.

Well, her ruse worked and chuckles broke out in the Tongyou Peak. The oppressive atmosphere diminished by a whole lot.

As the cultivators laughed, they projected their voices around the mountain peaks and it caused a much louder echo to ring through the air.

Blood rushed to Yan Que’s face and he stomped his feet into the ground, “How dare you! All of you deserve death!”

Because he successfully penetrated the barrier, he had been in high spirits. Now that he was insulted by a bunch of weaker cultivators, he no longer kept his cool. He turned into a black tornado that swept through the land.

Things were as Shang Xi guessed. The expert who was called Yan Que was born as someone whose bloodline purity was low. However, he managed to climb to his position due to his talent in cultivation. He turned into one of the chiefs of the Wind Swallow Race even though he didn’t possess the pure bloodline.

The only reason he managed to rise up the ranks was because the bloodline of the Wind Swallow Race was thinning. In order to protect the race’s prestige, Yan Que was promoted.

Maybe because he accumulated a lot of hatred in his heart due to his treatment when he was young, he had always hated members who called themselves purebloods.

The Wind Swallow Race wanted to use him as a source of strength to prop up their race, but their promotion only caused more inner cracks to form.

To Yan Que, his position was high above the rest the moment he broke through to the Fourth Order Primary Realm. Despite his strength and cultivation, he could feel the dirty stares on his back wherever he went.

When the Four Spiritual Peak attacked the Tongyou Peak, Yan Su’er chose not to enter the battle due to Ji Wenlong’s ambush. In order to prove himself, Yan Que volunteered to take her position.

After joining the rest of the cultivators who were going to siege the Tongyou Peak, he felt left out yet again as even Lu Zhanyi who was pulled into the battle chose to ignore his presence.

The hatred in his heart reached the breaking point and all he wanted to do was to prove that he was worthy of respect!

He made an amazing appearance and it could be said to be the turning point of the battle. However, Shang Xi’s words stabbed deep into his heart.

Releasing a heaven-shaking roar, Yan Que turned into a black tornado that tore through everything in his way as he headed straight for the main peak.

The chains that were broken previously danced in the air as they whipped out at him in unison.

A snort left Yan Que’s lips as he reached out to grab the chain. It was dragged into the tornado.

Yan Que, who was charging manically towards the main peak, slowed down.

“Rattle, rattle…”

Loud creaks came from one of the chains as it pulled completely taut.

Another chain shot towards the tornado.

.

As the two chains pulled in different directions, the black tornado that was Yan Que stopped moving all of a sudden.

Realizing that something was off, Yan Que circulated more inner qi in an attempt to free himself from the chains.

Who would have thought that a massive spear tens of feet long would appear from the solitary Kaiyuan Peak? It stabbed straight into the tornado.

Like the straw that broke the camel’s back, the black tornado was torn to shreds and a stream of black qi returned to Yan Que’s side.

At the same time, the spear returned to the Kaiyuan Peak. The chains flew back to their respective peaks.

After the tornado was torn apart, everything it sucked up was thrown into the air. Several lower leveled cultivators were unlucky and were smashed to bits.

While that went down, close to a hundred cultivators from the Four Spiritual Peak entered through the gap created by Yan Que.

At the foot of the mountain, the battle began.

“Fuck!” Yan Que didn’t expect his first attack to be stopped so quickly.

Not to mention the fact that the chains and spear that stopped him were operated by cultivators in the Martial Intent Realm. They were nowhere near his level!

“It’s the damn protection formation! How can the protection formation still be standing?” A light flashed in Yan Que’s eyes. He turned to look at the battle that broke out at the foot of the mountain and discovered that it was difficult for them to gain an inch of ground.

The cultivators from the Tongyou Peak rushed over in all directions.

“I need to destroy the formation!” Yan Que concluded. In order to break the stalemate, he had to find a way to destroy the formation on the Tongyou Peak.

His gaze quickly landed on the chains connecting the bridge of the Kaiyuan Peak to the main peak.

…

Shang Xia realized that something was wrong when he saw the shadow of the spear that emerged. A trace of joy appeared in his heart when he saw how they destroyed the black tornado, and he could no longer care about Yuan Zilu’s original order to return to the main peak. He turned and joined Yuan Zhen and Yun Yifei.

He knew that Yuan Zilu wouldn’t be able to hold on for long. How many more spears could he summon?!

Right now, Yuan Zilu was at the core of the formation alone. In order to activate it, he would have to burn his own life force!

Shang Xia knew that he wouldn’t last long.

He could only assist Yuan Zhen and Yun Yifei to defeat Jia Yuntian as quickly as possible so that they could assist Yuan Zilu.

A hundred feet away, Shang Xia saw the three of them going all out. Yuan Zhen and Yun Yifei knew the severity of the matter too, and they wanted to end it fast.

As for Jia Yuntian, he had long since learned the secret of the institution after serving for so many years. He could tell exactly what they were going to do.

As such, he focused all his energy on defending.

The thing that annoyed the two of them the most was that Jia Yuntian actually hid his cultivation level! That freak was actually at the peak of the Martial Intent Realm!
