Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 887: Eighth Set of Fate Dipper Essences

Chapter 887: Eighth Set of Fate Dipper Essences

...

The moment the Stellar Cauldron smashed into the Jiao Continent, world origin poured out at a terrifying pace.

Before it entered the world, the Stellar Cauldron used up quite a bit of world origin and it was only 75 percent full by the time it landed in the Jiao Continent.

Due to the massive impact of the cauldron smashing into the earth, everyone in the cauldron felt their inner qi rolling about in their dantian. Those with weaker foundations received inner injuries as they spat out a mouthful of blood.

That was even after the cauldron absorbed most of the impact. Otherwise, just Dugu Yuanshan’s attack alone would have caused a good majority of them in the cauldron to be killed.

A moment later when everything calmed down, Kou Chongxue’s voice rang in their minds again. “We have arrived in the Jiao Continent. All of you can come out now.”

The opening of the cauldron was open a long time ago. Kou Chongxue didn’t forbid anyone from feeling out the situation in the outside world. As such, everyone knew that they were stuck in a pool of lava at the moment.

To many of those in the cauldron, lava wasn’t dangerous at all. Unless they ran directly into an Earth Essence Flame or the Heart of Lava, or other types of high-level flames, they wouldn’t be hurt.

Huang Jinghan, Yifeng, Jiu Du, and Lu Wuzi were the first to emerge from the cauldron.

The moment they appeared, they noticed a ball of dark-crimson flames dancing in Kou Chongxue’s hand.

“Is that... Is that an Earth Heart Flame Fate Dipper?! Are you really that lucky?” Yifeng’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at his surroundings.

“Don’t bother. It’s already a blessing for a single fate dipper to be born in this place.” Jiu Du knew exactly what Yifeng was thinking about.

The experts from the other factions poured out from the cauldron the next moment and all of them couldn’t help but click their tongues in astonishment when they saw the space that had been carved out in the pool of lava.

“No one knows how long this underground lava pool existed for. There might only be one Origin Dipper, but there should be a good number of extermination origins. If you take your time to collect them, you should be able to gather a good bunch of them.” Yi Jingxu of the Heavenly Star Palace muttered. He was an existence who was the closest to Huang Jinghan and the other peak-tier experts of the Azure Ascension World. Now that they were back, it wouldn’t take long for him to break through successfully and join them.

“Actually, why don’t someone try to create a Mysterious World here? It shouldn’t be too hard...” The person who spoke was a Formation Grandmaster who reached the Martial Dipper Realm. They were pretty experienced in spatial formations.

“Mysterious World? That’s barely good enough! If anyone establishes their sect here with this place as through foundation, the moment our world ascends and becomes a Spirit World, ascending to a Holy Land shouldn’t be a problem at all!” Lu Wuzi snorted casually.

No one knew what he was plotting by saying that, but his words stuck home in the hearts of some of the experts present.

Moreover, from how Kou Chongxue let everyone out of the cauldron in that location, he was clear that it was where he planned to connect the Stellar Cauldron to the World Origin Source to start the world ascension. When that happened, the entire region would probably turn into a sacred land!

Kou Chongxue chuckled the next moment. “The Origin Holy Artifact is something I obtained in the Celestial Remains. Since the Celestial Remains was located above the Jiao Continent, the process of ascension should start from this place. It can be said to have completed a cycle of cause and effect...”

Another Martial Dipper Realm expert asked, “Patriarch Kou, please hasten the world ascension. The situation above the heavenly screen is perilous and they require our assistance!”

Kou Chongxue chuckled to himself before raising his head to look at the opening in the cave they created when the cauldron slammed into the earth. “There is no need for us to panic. We should calm down and move carefully. I killed 2 experts from the Spirit Abundance World earlier and there are 2 more coming as we speak.”

“The Holy Artifact should be here...” Before they were done speaking, the excitement on the faces of the 2 experts from the Spirit Abundance World froze.

Think about it. If one’s cultivation was suppressed by the world and they ran into a region of sealed space that contained more than 20 Martial Dipper Realm experts of the world they were invading... What would they feel?

There was basically no struggle at all. They were taken care of by the elite Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Azure Ascension World who just returned.

A horrifying pressure came from the skies next.

The peak-tier experts among them understood what was going on and they raised their heads to look, as though they were able to see what was happening outside the heavenly barrier.

Shang Xia felt his heart sinking. He was also able to tell what had happened. The Sixth Order existence fighting above the heavenly screen took action!

Kou Chongxue reached out into the void and lightly pressed downwards. The Stellar Cauldron was immediately toppled as world origin poured out in an endless tide, filling the space they were in.

“All of you, wait here quietly as our world ascends. I’ll be right back!” As soon as he spoke, he disappeared along with the cauldron.

“Is he planning to challenge the Sixth Order Ancestor from the Spirit Abundance World?” One of the Martial Dipper Realm experts mumbled hesitantly.

Of course, anyone who had the qualifications to speak at the moment had to be an expert in the Martial Dipper Realm. Those Martial Extermination Realm cultivators were pressed to the ground from the pressure from the extremely dense world origin. It was so thick that they couldn’t even circulate their inner qi.

Lu Wuzi glanced at Huang Jinghan with a profound gaze. “Looks like Master Yuan Chen isn’t doing too well... I’m afraid he won’t be able to hold on for much longer!”

Huang Jinghan growled in response, “Since Kou Chongxue was able to initiate a Spatial Transfer with the Origin Holy Artifact, he should have already touched on the boundaries of an expert in the Sixth Order. With his current cultivation, along with the assistance of the World’s Will, he might be able to do something against an existence of the next level...”

Huang Jinghan seemed to be explaining the extent of Kou Chongxue’s strength, but from his tone, he sounded more like he was hoping Kou Chongxue would be able to help Liu Jingsheng.

Shang Xia wasn’t worried about Kou Chongxue in the slightest. He understood that all Kou Chongxue was trying to do was to buy some time for the world ascension. He wasn’t going to head out to the heavenly screen to fight to the death with an expert in the Sixth Order...

However, along with the Azure Ascension World showing signs of ascension, the experts of the Spirit Abundance World seemed to go crazy as they launched all-out attacks as more of them poured into the Azure Ascension World.

In the short time it took for the Stellar Cauldron to crash into the Jiao Continent, 4 experts of the Spirit Abundance World had already arrived to check on the situation.

If not for the fact that none of them, including the Sixth Order existences of the Spirit Abundance World, knew that it was possible to hide people inside the Stellar Cauldron, the efforts of those from the Azure Ascension World might have already gone up in smoke. In fact, even the Stellar Cauldron might have already been taken away!

If there were so many experts on the Jiao Continent, what was happening in the other continents?

As soon as those experts infiltrated the worlds, the first thing they would do would be to occupy those great factions to assist their comrades who were still fighting above the heavenly screen.

All of a sudden, Shang Xia felt the world origin moving about rapidly, as though it was assimilating with the Azure Ascension World Origin Source.

If they had to talk about the world origin contained in the Stellar Cauldron, Shang Xia was responsible for absorbing almost all of it from the Azure Flame World. As such, he estimated that Kou Chongxue basically emptied out 50 percent of world origin from the cauldron earlier. [1] That would mean that the world origin left in the cauldron could only fill 25 percent of it!

Is the world origin provided really enough for the world to complete its ascension?!

Not to mention the fact that a large portion of the experts hidden in the cave were waiting to break through when the World’s Will blessed them. When that happened, a good portion of world origin would be used up!

Shang Xia opened his palm and looked at 10 strands of fate dipper essences swirling about. He was also waiting for a chance to refine his eighth set of fate dipper essences!

There was a feeling nagging at him that Kou Chongxue seemed to have greatly underestimated the world origin they required...

As the thought played in his mind, he heard Kou Chongxue’s voice coming from above the Jiao Continent. “Our world is ascending and in order to prevent any mishaps, I need every single Elysium and Holy Land to provide world origin to assist the process!”

What the fuck?

He was asking for the various factions to pour their accumulations back into the world to assist the Azure Ascension World to complete its transformation!

Well, since the ascension concerned the survival of everyone, it was only right if everyone helped out. Even if Kou Chongxue was the greatest beneficiary in the end, it didn’t mean that he would have to do everything alone!

Of course, it wasn’t as though he had been doing everything himself in the first place. He plotted against the experts of the Azure Ascension World and brought them over to the Azure Flame World to snatch world origin. However, he didn’t bother mentioning them with the situation at hand.

The key to the entire matter was the fact that no one knew how much world origin the Azure Ascension World needed to complete the final transformation! However, its ascension was the key to resisting the invasion of the Spirit Abundance World!

In order to ensure its success, the various factions couldn't hold back. As long as their Elysiums and Holy Lands didn’t collapse, they would pour all their accumulated world origin back into the world! It didn’t matter if they had been storing it for tens, or hundreds of years. They had to return it to the World Origin Source!

Because of the situation at hand, everyone had no choice but to follow Kou Chongxue’s instructions!

Shang Xia was the only person who knew that 25 percent of the Stellar Cauldron was still filled with world origin and clearly, he wasn’t going to snitch.

With the various factions taking action, the world ascension sped up greatly. With the transformation taking place, the Martial Dipper Realm experts could feel the blessing given by the World’s Will and they no longer held themselves back!

1. Take all percentages as 100% and not relative to how much was absorbed. E.g 50% = 50% in the event where the whole cauldron is full, 25% = 25% if the whole cauldron is full. Can’t seem to find a way to put this in without making the entire story repetitive and choppy so pardon the math :) ?
