Chapter 903: Changes to the World, Spirit World!
The Martial Void Realm experts of the Divine Capital Sect and the Eternal Palace drew on the power of their Elysium in order to fight back against Zhao Wuhen, the Second Island Master of the Azure Island, and Deputy Villa Master Lu Pingyuan of the Heaven and Earth Villa.
Above the heavenly screen of the Yong Continent, there were no other experts other than the 4 of them.
With their foundations as Elysiums, they had many Martial Dipper Realm experts and many more Martial Extermination Realm cultivators. Naturally, they couldn’t just hide in their Elysiums to watch the battle. All of them were sent to the Beyond Heavens Pavilion of the surrounding continents to help other factions resist the invaders.
If the 2 Elysiums hadn’t gone all out and sent their experts, the Shu, Liang, Bing, and even the Qing Continents would probably have been flattened by the enemies!
With the Divine Capital Pagoda damaged and Kou Chongxue not responding, Jiu Du, who was fighting above the Qing Continent gathered 2 Martial Dipper Realm experts from the Divine Capital Sect and another expert who wanted to get on their good books to rush towards the Xu Continent. Along the way, they ran into the patriarch of the Beihai Institution and brought him over as well. The 5 of them quickly arrived at the Beyond Heavens Pavilion above the Xu Continent.
With an excuse that they were there to provide assistance, they got the experts of the Zhenyang Gate to back away from the entrance of the Holy Land. Once that happened, Jiu Du initiated the sacrifice and sealed everyone into the Holy Land. Even the experts of the Spirit Abundance World who were currently attacking them weren’t spared.
Jiu Du might not be as strong as Kou Chongxue, but he was still a peak-tier expert of the Azure Ascension World. Ever since his return from the Azure Flame World, he strengthened his foundations after tempering himself through the experience. He grew much stronger than before.
Jiu Du might not be able to do what Kou Chongxue was able to and take part in the battle between Martial Void Realm experts, but he had 4 other experts by his side!
In order to close the distance between himself and Kou Chongxue and gain the qualifications to help Li Jidao, he had no choice!
With the Divine Capital Pagoda damaged and Li Jidao in danger, they couldn’t sit by idly and watch as their ancestor fell!
In order to protect the Divine Capital Sect, there was no need to mention sacrificing the Zhenyang Gate. Even if he had to sacrifice several more Holy Lands, Jiu Du wouldn’t show a shred of hesitation.
The Zhenyang Gate might have been swallowed by the World Origin Source, but the resulting destruction destroyed nearly half the continent. Despite the chaos, Jiu Du and the others felt that it was good enough to prevent the experts of the Spirit Abundance World from entering the Xu Continent.
Whatever it was, the actions of Jiu Du and the others didn’t just benefit the Divine Capital Sect! Li Jidao regained a portion of his battle abilities and would be able to fight for more time for the successful transformation of the Azure Ascension World!
Before the experts of the Azure Ascension World could heave a sigh of relief, a massive mountain that was emitting gloomy light appeared above the heavenly screen. It tore apart the heavenly screen above the Jiao Continent as Liu Jingsheng and Kou Chongxue were trapped under it. They couldn’t do anything even if they tried.
The Star Observatory that Liu Jingsheng had been protecting since the battle started was completely ruined as it slammed into the Jiao Continent and turned into a bunch of scraps.
The Jiao Continent was crumbling as the land split apart. Massive craters were formed and some drifted away into the sea. Islands of varying sizes were formed. Massive valleys were filled with lava that spewed out from the earth or water that rushed in from all directions.
Despite the bad shape the Jiao Continent was in, everyone knew that the worst had yet to come.
The moment the massive mountain actually slammed into the ground below, it would be over for the Jiao Continent. Not only would Liu Jingsheng and Kou Chongxue receive heavy injuries, but the Jiao Continent would cease to exist!
“What do we do now?!” Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo turned to Shang Xia in unison.
With Kou Chongxue absent to take charge of the situation, Shang Xia, who was a junior in the institution, seemed to turn into their backbone for courage and support.
“The only way to turn the situation around is for our world to complete its ascension.” Shang Xia muttered. Shang Xia understood Kou Chongxue’s true intention. He spoke with unprecedented seriousness. “Other than the Tongyou Paradise... We can give up every single spiritual land or Mysterious World that exists in the You Continent!”
“Are you saying... To sacrifice them all to the World Origin Source?!” Shang Bo gasped.
Shang Xia nodded. “That’s not all. If it’s possible, I suggest that we give it everything we have. All we need to do is to maintain the survival of our Holy Land while sacrificing everything!”
Even though Kou Chongxue informed everyone to provide world origin to hasten the ascension of the world, there might be some who were still holding back despite knowing the implications.
The spiritual lands, Mysterious Worlds, Holy Lands, and Elysiums were the product of hundreds of years of accumulations of the various powers. They would be extremely careful in how they handled it.
Ji Wenlong quickly added, “It’s not impossible for us to do so, but the foundations of our Tongyou Institution has been shallow to begin with. Even if we gave it everything we had, it might not be good enough to cause a ripple! Moreover, won’t the others benefit from this if we give up everything we had and they won’t have to do a thing?”
That was what many people thought... No. It was most likely what everyone was thinking. After all, it was human nature to try to reduce their losses at others’ expense.
Shang Xia didn’t seem too concerned about it at all. He muttered, “The transformation of our Azure Ascension World is directly related to Patriarch Kou’s chance to step into the Martial Void Realm. The faster it completes its transformation, the sooner Patriarch Kou will be able to break through!”
He quickly explained Kou Chongxue’s plan of attacking the Azure Flame World and told them about how the patriarch had already comprehended his martial intent to reach the grand completion stage of the Martial Dipper Realm.
At the moment, only Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo were with him. After Shang Xia returned to the Beyond Heavens Pavilion earlier, Yun Jing listened to him and made preparations to enter the Martial Dipper Realm.
She chose to advance the same way Ji Wenlong did. Relying on the Tongyou Paradise, she would step into the Martial Dipper Realm. She knew that her talents were limited and even though she had been in the Martial Extermination Realm for a long time, she received help from the others in order to reach her current level. She never had the courage or confidence to step into the Martial Dipper Realm.
Shang Bo and Ji Wenlong naturally had their guesses about Kou Chongxue’s intentions when they found out he had gone to another world. Now that they were hearing it from Shang Xia, they were able to confirm their guesses. Naturally, hearing it for themselves still shocked them despite already preparing for it.
After some time, Ji Wenlong seemed to have thought of something. “Wait! He’s already trying to break through?! How long has it been since our Tongyou Institution created our Holy Land? I’m afraid we don’t have enough to complete the transformation into an Elysium...”
“Patriarch Kou is unwilling to borrow the power of an Elysium to enter the Martial Void Realm. He’s planning to rely on himself... Oh yeah, the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm is called the ‘Martial Void Realm’ by the experts of the Spirit Abundance World...” Shang Xia interrupted him before he could finish.
Shang Bo stared at Ji Wenlong and Ji Wenlong did the same. They looked at each other and seemed to see the dilemma in each other’s eyes. It was hard for them to imagine Kou Chognxue breaking through to the Martial Void Realm without the support of an Elysium! They could only believe that he had his own plans.
Actually, Kou Chongxue didn’t tell Shang Xia too much about how he was going to advance. Shang Xia didn’t ask too much about it either.
Shang Bo eventually sighed. “Since that’s the case, let’s just give it all up. Those experts will go about destroying everything if they fail to attack our Tongyou Paradise anyway. Let’s just sacrifice them all and not leave anything to the outsiders.”
The You Continent might have expanded greatly in recent years, but Mysterious Worlds were still a little difficult to create. Fortunately, they already established many spiritual lands and most of them were in the northern part of the continent where the Battlefield Between the Two Worlds once stood and the eastern region where the landmasses of the Manyu Continent were located. They also had several spiritual lands that had been established close to the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range some time ago.
With a single order,, the Formation Masters who were stationed in those regions started to detonate them without restraint. Heaven and earth qi, along with world origin, returned to the World Origin Source. Even though the quantity was far from sacrificing the Zhenyang Holy Land, it managed to bring about a large commotion.
At the very least, the experts who were fighting above the heavenly screen could feel the joy from the World’s Will.
“With the invasion of the bastards of the Spirit Abundance World, we can’t protect the spiritual lands and Mysterious Worlds! Might as well sacrifice them!” Shang Xia took a deep breath before yelling at the top of his lungs. His voice reverberated through the Beyond Heavens Pavilion above the various continents.
The first to respond wasn’t actually the great powers of the Azure Ascension World. Instead, the spiritual lands and Mysterious Worlds of the Xu and Qing Continents self-destructed. World origin poured back into the World Origin Source.
With the Zhenyang Gate sacrificed, Jiu Du and the others left to save the other continents. The spiritual lands and Mysterious Worlds of the 2 continents that hadn’t been targeted by the experts of the Spirit Abundance World quickly returned the world origin to the Azure Ascension World.
The World’s Will seemed to be celebrating as it was getting more and more agitated with the infusion of world origin.
Seemingly responding to Shang Xia’s cry, and perhaps being pushed by the success of the actions of those from the 2 continents, the Mo Continent that used to house the Desert Gate also answered the call to arms. The various spiritual lands and Mysterious World crumbled as they returned all the world origin they contained to the Azure Ascension World. Following which, the Bai Continent which used to be from the Azure Spiritual World, the Bing, Suo, and Jiao Continents followed.
During the process, there were also smaller powers that sacrificed their spiritual lands and Mysterious Worlds. However, they were clearly less impactful than the powers in the larger continents.
“From the original Azure Origin World, other than the You, Shu, and Xu Continents... From the Azure Spiritual World, the Bai, Suo, and Mo Continents... Of us are remote continents... Looks like this isn’t a coincidence!” Shang Xia thought to himself. He didn’t know who brought it up back then, but he recalled that the Yuanchen Sect was only able to succeed in the transformation of the Xiangyang Holy Land because they stole the spirituality of the Jiao Continent!
Would that mean that the remote continents, including the You Continent, were related to the rise of the other 3 Elysiums?
A cry of joy that could only be heard by cultivators of the Azure Ascension World rang in their minds all of a sudden, and Shang Xia felt a refreshing feeling washing over him.
Even cultivators who just stepped into the martial path would have noticed the change. It was something only cultivators from the Azure Ascension World could feel. The very instant the cry of joy rang in their minds, the transformation was complete!
