Chapter 951: Five Element Ring and the World Pearl Pt.2

Chapter 951: Five Element Ring and the World Pearl Pt.2

The True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World weren’t using a battle formation like their opponents. Instead, the new divine weapon that appeared had a miraculous ability to gather the strength of their experts. It also transformed into a streak of five colored light that shattered the beam of light flying at Kou Chongxue’s Hidden Frost Sword.

As it destroyed the beam of orange light, the five colored light scattered.

Only then did the True Immortals of the other world realize that there was a ring that was flashing with five different colors hovering beside the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Indeed... It was another divine weapon! Moreover, that wasn’t all. It didn’t matter if it was Meng Yuanxiu or the other experts he was working with, or the people who plotted behind the scenes. All of them didn’t expect their meticulous plan to fall through, and they found it hard to accept.

With their combined assault broken, Meng Yuanxiu and the rest didn’t know what they should do next!

Their chaotic state of mind didn’t stop the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World from counterattacking!

With everything that happened, the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World weren’t stupid. If they couldn’t tell that someone was plotting against them, the Spirit Luxuriant World might as well self-destruct. Kou Chongxue suffered greatly from the exchange before and even his divine weapon suffered grave injuries.

Because of everything that happened, the Spirit Luxuriant World even had to reveal their trump card to their enemies!

That was right. The Five Element Ring could not only adjust the inner qi of the experts in their battle formation. It could also gather their energy to unleash a joint attack!

Of course, it would only be able to perform its second function in the hands of an expert in the Martial Void Realm.

Even if Shang Xia personally made a move, he might not be able to properly adjust the Void Origins of the Martial Void Realm True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World!

By the time the five colored light scattered, Zhang Xuansheng’s Jade Tortoise was the first to launch a counterattack. A formless soundwave was sent into the enemy’s ranks.

Liu Jingsheng relinquished some control over the giant wave that he was using as it started to smash into the enemy without restraint.

Li Jidao’s short blade seemed to be dancing about randomly, but it summoned a flurry of slashes that was directed at every expert on the other side. There was no order in the attacks as it lashed out in a frenzy.

Yang Taihe’s palm no longer tapped in the void to send out concentrated means. Instead, he closed all four fingers into his palm before flicking them out in unison. 4 beams of energy shot at the snake, the Jade Hairpin, the Rounded Jug, and the orange flame. The only thing he didn’t attack was the World Pearl!

The True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World launched their counterattack, but to the untrained eye, they seemed too chaotic and seemed to be all over the place. All of their opponents were under attack at once, but with their energy so spread out, it was hard to threaten anyone.

After being thrown into a fluster for a moment, Shen Bihuan finally reacted. “No! They’re just trying to confuse us! True Immortal Meng... That’s right! True Immortal Meng is their real target!”

Her warning immediately caused everyone else to raise their guard. However, a crisp crack was heard the next moment and the sound of a shell shattering rang through the skies.

Shen Bihuan and the others felt their hearts sinking. They might not be able to see what was going on due to all the chaos, but the spatial tunnel that connected to the Azure Oddity World trembled violently. True Immortal Meng’s heart-wrenching cry rang through the skies, “You... You guys are really vicious...”

By the time the words rang in their minds, the spatial tunnel that was connected to the Azure Oddity World was sealed off completely. His World Pearl also disappeared from the battlefield.

Only then did Shen Bihuan and the others react. By the time they looked over, they saw the damaged Hidden Frost Sword rapidly retreating to the safety of the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Silence fell upon the Star Relay. Shen Bihuan and the others might have been busy blocking off the flurry of attacks earlier, but the True Immortals gathered around the Star Relay saw what happened clearly. As Meng Yuanxiu’s World Pearl lost the protection of the other experts, Kou Chongxue’s Hidden Frost Sword smashed directly into it!

The Hidden Frost Sword, the Five Element Ring, and the World Pearl were divine weapons. They should be ranked the same, but if they were speaking about the materials that made them up, the Five Element Ring paled in comparison to the Hidden Frost Sword. However, the World Pearl was even more fragile!

“Ah... Fellow experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World, you just are truly amazing. I admire your strength!” Shen Bihuan spoke suddenly before turning to Zhuge Xiang before anyone else could react. “Commander Zhuge, it seems like the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World won!”

Zhuge Xiang turned to stare at her with a profound gaze and eventually muttered, “Hm. The best outcome would be to know your limits and stop when needed. True Immortal Shen, since you have conceded, what do the fellow experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World think?”

This time, the person who spoke on behalf of the Spirit Luxuriant World wasn’t Zhang Xuansheng. Instead, Kou Chongxue muttered, “Since that’s the case, many thanks to fellow cultivators for giving us the win!”

The experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World allowed the others to see their true power and acknowledge their position. As such, they would be able to gain a stable foothold in the sea of stars in the future.

What came next was congratulations from other True Immortals and a short dao lecture by Zhuge Xiang. However, what was supposed to be a grand occasion that happened once every hundreds of years had been spoiled by whatever happened and the True Immortals of the various worlds didn’t seem too interested in everything that happened next. They quickly bid their farewells to Zhuge Xiang before returning to their worlds. The True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World were no exception.

In the skies above the Star Relay, Liu Jiuzhen couldn’t help but turn to Zhuge Xiang. He hesitated for a moment before muttering in low spirits, “Commander... Brother Zhuge, about True Immortal Meng...”

Zhuge Xiang sighed softly. “I thought that the exchange only happened because of the Spirit Abundance World’s dissatisfaction with the Spirit Luxuriant World for repelling them twice. I thought it would end after they made the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World look bad, but I never thought that there would be such a massive scheme behind it! The person they were plotting against might have been True Immortal Kou, but it might also very well have been Meng Yuanxiu! The Azure Oddity World... They’re in trouble now...”

Zhuge Xiang turned to stare at Liu Jiuzhen the next moment. “We can’t do anything to help True Immortal Meng. Our Star Origin City is only able to solidify our position in the sea of stars because of our neutrality. We’re only here to maintain communication between the various worlds. As such, we don’t have to do anything, and there’s nothing we can do...”

...

Outside the Star Relay, Shang Xia supported Captain Feng as they hobbled out.

Star Origin Guards had been waiting outside for some time now, and the moment they emerged, the guards quickly ran up to help. Huang Jinghan and the others also rushed over.

“What happened in there?” With no time to waste praising how long Shang Xia managed to last in there, Huang Jinghan quickly asked about the outcome of the exchange.

Shang Xia saw many people gathered around as they awaited news of the exchange. A lot of them turned their attention to him but he didn’t plan to keep the news hidden. He started to speak in a loud voice, “We suffered a little, but we managed to eke out a win in the end. With this, our Spirit Luxuriant World should be able to gain a firm footing in the Star Origin City. However, the details of the battle are extremely messy and this is no place for us to speak about it...”

Huang Jinghan and the others were also elites of the Spirit Luxuriant World and they were able to hear the hidden meaning in his words. They started to leave to look for a more private area to talk.

However, before they could leave, Captain Feng of the Star Origin Guards seemed to have regained a portion of her strength as she stepped over to ask, “Young Master, I am Feng Ziyuan, the captain of the third squad of the second camp. How should I address you?”

Shang Xia cupped his fists respectfully and replied, “I am Shang Xia of the Tongyou Institution in the Spirit Luxuriant World.”

Feng Ziyuan nodded slightly and muttered, “Many thanks for Young Master’s help in the Star Relay earlier!”

“It’s nothing much. Captain Feng, there’s no need to be so polite.” Shang Xia responded in a firm voice.

Captain Feng didn’t stop there as she quickly added, “If there’s a chance in the future, Young Master Shang can come over to our camp. I’ll bring you around. If you run into any trouble in the city, you can look for me.”

A smile quickly appeared on Shang Xia’s face. “Since Captain Feng is so generous, I won’t stand on ceremony!”

“Alright, farewell for now.” Captain Feng swept her gaze over Huang Jinghan and the others the next moment and muttered, “Are these your fellow cultivators from the Spirit Luxuriant World? Since the spatial tunnel between your world has been connected, you guys should quickly head back after the True Immortals in the Star Relay finish speaking.”

Turning to give Shang Xia a slight nod, she turned around to return to her squad before they left.

Speaking of the Star Origin Guards, the other 4 were much more familiar with them than Shang Xia. However, that was only relative to the experts in the Spirit Luxuriant World! None of them would be more familiar with the Star Origin Guards than Luo Qi, Shang Xia’s guide!

Because of his cultivation, Luo Qi had retreated from the Star Relay a long time ago!

Of course, he didn’t just leave. He waited patiently for Shang Xia to come out. He never expected Shang Xia to last all the way to the end before supporting Feng Ziyuan out of the Star Relay.

Luo Qi clearly understood what had happened. His determination to stick close to Shang Xia became even more firm.

As they made their way back Shang Xia didn’t seem too focused. Instead, a deep frown could be seen on his face as he glanced at his surroundings.

Shang Xia’s abnormal actions quickly attracted the attention of the other 4.

Yifeng was always one to speak before thinking properly and he simply asked, “Brat, what are you looking for?”

“It seems like someone has their eyes on us. Actually... There seems to be more than a single party taking interest in us!” Shang Xia replied.

Yifeng almost roared with laughter. “What’s so weird about that? Our Spirit Luxuriant World is the fifth Spirit World to establish a spatial tunnel to the Star Origin City in the past hundreds of years! We’re also a newly ascended Spirit World! Our identities had long since been revealed to the powers situated in the city when we applied for the establishment of the spatial tunnel! After the commotion in the Star Relay, they would obviously pay more attention to us!”

Shang Xia nodded slowly. He understood that there was no need to hide the fact that they had connected their world to the Star Origin City, and there was no need to hide anything like that. It was no surprise they would attract attention from the various sources.

Yifeng wouldn’t let Shang Xia off so easily now that he started. With a shit-eating grin that was filled with the intention to gossip, he giggled, “Hehehehehe, little one, what the hell did you do with Captain Feng in the Star Relay? Both of you managed to stay all the way to the end and there was no one to keep an eye on you two... How did the both of you get so close suddenly?”
