Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 869: Bing Bang Boom

Chapter 869: Bing Bang Boom

A flying ship that was thousands of feet long fell from the skies, but it didn’t smash into the ground. Instead, the ship slowly turned into dust in mid air!

With the exception of the Martial Sage who managed to live, the hundreds of lives on the ship were exterminated by Kou Chongxue’s mighty sword qi!

One had to know that the flying ship wasn’t made up of garbage. When they released their full battle capabilities, even Martial Sages wouldn’t be able to approach a thousand feet of it. Damaging the ship seemed impossible, much less cleaving the ship in half.

What was more, there were 3 Martial Sages stationed on the ship. One of them had even reached the third soul Martial Sage Realm!

Everything that happened next showed the experts of the Azure Flame World that the flying ship they were so proud of couldn’t even withstand a single slash from the outsider!

Their world view was shattered with a single sword qi, and it became a blow that devastated them. The sudden change caused silence to descend on the lands as the battle came to a standstill for a moment.

The experts of the Azure Flame World weren’t the only ones who were shocked by the sword strike. Even the experts of the Azure Ascension World couldn’t believe their eyes.

Huang Jinghan, who was stationed in the east where the ship was cut in half, had the deepest impression of the sword qi Kou Chongxue released earlier.

“The power of that sword qi is infinitely close to that of the Sixth Order... He... He seemed to have reached the limit of the Martial Dipper Realm!” Huang Jinghan’s gaze landed on the remains of whatever was crumbling in the air and he muttered to himself. He found it difficult to extricate himself from the sword qi he felt earlier.

Pang Jingyun, who had been beside Huang Jinghan the whole time, gasped, “Martial Uncle, are you saying...That the sword qi Kou Chongxue released earlier was his martial intent?! Has he reached the grand completion stage of the Martial Dipper Realm?!”

“Sigh...”

Huang Jinghan let out a long breath, but he didn’t reply Pang Jingyun’s question directly. Instead, he turned to the Martial Dipper Realm experts behind him and muttered, “Go! Back the other directions up! I’m more than enough to defend the east now.”

Earlier, not only did the eastern gate have to face the attack of many Martial Sages, but it also had to withstand the assault from the flying ship. Even with many Martial Dipper Realm experts helping him, he found it extremely hard to hold them off.

Without the threat of the flying ship, the Martial Sages outside the city seemed to fall into chaos. With the help of the grand formation, Huang Jinghan could hold them off with no problems.

At the same time, the buzzing sound from the Five Element Ring filled the city. Shang Xia’s clone grabbed it firmly and the power contained within caused his body to jolt once. The clone was nearly destroyed by the energy contained in the Five Element Ring.

Right before Kou Chongxue released his sword qi earlier, Shang Xia blocked the light rays from the experts of the Azure Flame World. Because of that, the Five Element Dipper Qi in his clone was nearly exhausted.

Fortunately, the Five Element Ring was a divine weapon, a very good one at that. Despite being weakened by the attacks of those from the Azure Flame World, it wasn’t actually damaged.

The only problem was that Shang Xia’s clone and the Five Element Ring wouldn’t be able to fuse the different dipper qis together. Even though Kou Chongxue should have reached the actual peak of the Martial Dipper Realm at that point and should be able to release his sword qi without much issues, he didn’t seem to be in a great state.

That was because the final infusion earlier that allowed him to enter the Martial Dipper Realm required him to withstand the might of 4 other experts at the same level! The forceful breakthrough caused him to suffer some backlash!

Even with the assistance of Shang Xia and the Five Element Ring, Kou Chongxue had to withstand massive pressure.

Fortunately, the sword qi earlier struck fear in the hearts of everyone present. The experts of the Azure Flame World were unable to get over the shock of a flying ship being cleaved in half and gave the experts of the Azure Ascension World a chance to catch their breath.

In the Yanlin Holy Land, a massive amount of world origin poured into the city. It took advantage of the gap in their attacks to replenish the energy experts of the Azure Ascension World had lost. A good portion of the world origin went straight to Kou Chongxue who was still hovering in the air above the city.

Shang Xia’s clone didn’t remain idle. It reappeared on the platform in the core region of the city.

The moment he appeared, Chu Jia ran up to him. The look in her eyes was one of shock, but there was a trace of pride and respect hidden within. Shang Xia’s clone, who was barely maintaining his divine will, enjoyed the look she was throwing him well.

“I didn’t think you could actually do it!” Chu Jia’s pretty eyes spun around and glanced at the Martial Dipper Realm Formation Grandmaster who had been chiding Shang Xia earlier.

Lowering his gaze, the Formation Grandmaster left the highest platform and went down.

Chu Jia giggled to herself and continued, “Alright. We’re done with our preparations. Are we going to begin now?”

Shang Xia’s clone stared outside the city and it seemed as though he could see the flying ship outside the city walls.

“We’re not in a hurry anymore. We need to see if they still have the guts to continue attacking with those ships. We should take the chance to make more preparations. Also... I need to head back to the Origin Holy Artifact!” Shang Xia’s clone laughed. The next moment, he turned into a streak of light that flew towards the entrance of the Yanlin Holy Land.

In the Holy Land, Shang Xia stood above the Stellar Cauldron as he controlled the world origin pouring in and out of the cauldron.

A five colored light returned to his body the next moment.

The slightly weak aura around him started to recover, but it didn’t seem to restore itself to its peak state immediately. After all, his clone exhausted a good portion of his energy.

However, Shang Xia didn’t seem to care too much about restoring himself. He created a second clone with his fate dipper essences!

The Stellar Cauldron started to tremble unsteadily after he separated another clone, but it was quickly stabilized by Shang Xia.

After several breaths of time, Shang Xia’s second clone arrived on the platform again. The Formation Grandmasters had already completed their preparations and were waiting to take action.

“Those flying ships look impressive, but they’re extremely weak!” Chu Jia analyzed. Her development of a flying ship had already started when she was back in the Azure Ascension World. Now that she was seeing a completely new type after entering the Azure Flame World, the flying ship she was working on seemed like a tiny fry compared to what was hovering in the air. Despite that, she seemed to have made her comparisons after such a long period of observation.

Of the Formation Grandmasters present, the person who had the deepest understanding of flying ships wasn’t actually Chu Jia. Instead, it was a Formation Grandmaster from the Northern Sea Mystic Sect.

None of those present were surprised. After all, they were the only ones in the Azure Ascension World who created a flying ship. The ship could pass through the Beyond Heavens Pavilion and from a certain standpoint, it far surpassed the flying ships in the Azure Flame World.

“If it’s truly as young friend Shang says and we project the power of the grand formation outwards, we should be able to catch them off guard! However, making them all fall to the ground isn’t exactly possible. As such, we will need to ensure we are prepared for their desperate attempts to counterattack when we strike!” The Formation Grandmaster from the Northern Sea Mystic Sect spoke honestly. He mentioned everything that might happen after they released the power of the grand formation. At the same time, he hoped that Shang Xia’s clone could convey whatever he said to the other Martial Dipper Realm experts out there.

“We’ll have to see if they still have the guts to continue attacking the city...” Chu Jia might be in the core region of the city at the moment, but she could tell the general situation happening outside.

After one of the flying ships was destroyed, the Azure Flame World received a massive blow. They hadn’t resumed their attack on the city yet.

Shang Xia’s clone shook his head in response and sighed, “With things at this point, there’s no way the Azure Flame World will give up. They might be storing up their energy for the next round of attacks. We might face an even more difficult situation when they resume their assault.”

As though trying to prove him right, a tragic phenomenon happened to the Azure Flame World. Other than the Yanlin City, the heaven and earth spiritual qi in the Azure Flame World experienced a sharp decline.

“You fucking devils from another world... What have you done to our world?!”
