Chapter 710: Still Fighting Mate
Yun Lu had already made up his mind that he wouldn’t be crossing the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range no matter what happened. Of course, as an expert who relied on the Changbai Holy Land to break through, his true body would never be able to leave the confines of the Ji Continent.
Originally, he could do what he did before and send a Fate Dipper Clone over to the You Continent with combat abilities at the Martial Dipper Realm. Because he didn’t do that and merely projected his attack over, his strength was greatly reduced. It gave Shang Xia a great opportunity.
Even though Shang Xia could deal with his actions, he didn’t choose to come to blows with Yun Lu.
When the spatial tunnel appeared close to the world origin flow, it was supposed to suck up a huge amount of world origin. Unfortunately for him, before that could happen, the flow of world origin split up and so did the rushing beasts.
Those spiritual beasts didn’t attack each other because of their survival instincts. When they were escaping from the battlefield between the two worlds, they wouldn’t fight one another as that would only affect their chances of survival.
Now that the pressure of imminent death was no longer there, not even the high-leveled spiritual beasts could suppress the instincts of those under them. They were in a new environment, and world origin was dissipating around them. They could do whatever they wanted!
During the process of pushing world origin to the south, Shang Xia already detected signs of it happening.
However, due to the pressure of a Martial Dipper Realm Ancestor and the power of the world origin tide, those beasts were still suppressed so heavily they didn’t dare to fight among themselves.
Everything changed when Yun Lu attacked. Of course, as a fellow Martial Dipper Realm Ancestor, Shang Xia detected his interference the moment he made his move. He also determined the other party’s intentions instantly. Like the War of the Tongyou Mysterious World back then, Yun Lu was trying to steal world origin!
Shang Xia reacted decisively. Before Yun Lu’s spatial tunnel could connect, he split the flow of world origin into 2 large streams. As the flying spiritual beasts followed one of the streams, the creatures running on land followed the other.
They were still directed towards the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range, but because of the additional pressure Shang Xia was exerting on them, he managed to prevent the beasts from going out of control. At the same time, the flow of world origin avoided Yun Lu’s spatial tunnel.
Everything looks like a giant coincidence, but in the eyes of the various Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors, nothing could be hidden. Shang Xia’s control over the flow of world origin was utterly amazing and it was near perfect!
“Amazing! That’s absolutely marvelous!” Xu Bailing commended several times in a row. He couldn't help but add, “Kou Chongxue’s control over world origin actually reached such a high level! It’s just too great…”
Shang Bo and Ji Wenlong didn’t react on the surface and seemed as calm as could be. It was as though everything that was happening was nothing out of the ordinary. However, their hearts were thumping in fright when they thought about how close Shang Xia was to exposing himself.
Yun Lu, who was on the other side of the mountain range, revealed a solemn expression. At the same time, he felt that his decision to not send a Fate Dipper Clone over to the You Continent was the smartest thing in the world.
Of course, he wouldn’t give up that easily. The space beside him twisted and a figure who greatly resembled him appeared. Even so, the aura he emitted was completely different from Yun Lu.
Now that he created a Fate Dipper Clone, they could both make their moves at once. They would try to open 2 spatial tunnels across the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range to intercept the streams Shang Xia created.
At that moment, Yun Lu had the initiative when making his moves and Shang Xia was in the passive state. There was no way Shang Xia was in an advantageous position.
Now that Yun Lu was making another move with his Fate Dipper Clone, 2 spatial tunnels appeared in mid air and started absorbing a horrifying amount of world origin.
Shang Xia didn’t take long to react. Those streams of world origin split again, and the flying spiritual beasts were split up into 2 groups according to the sizes. They split off and quickly skirted around the spatial tunnel that was created.
As for the beasts running on land, Shang Xia split them up according to their diets. Carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores were separated as they turned into 3 groups that were led by individual streams of world origin. They continued to rush towards the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range, but in 3 different directions.
Even though he split the flow of world origin into even smaller streams, he was still able to control them to a certain extent.
One had to know that the Tongyou City wasn’t exactly a uniform distance from the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range. There were parts of the mountain range that were more than a thousand miles, but there were also parts that were separated from the Tongyou City by hundreds of miles.
Of the spiritual beasts that were following the stream of world origin, the flying beasts were the fastest. In just a short amount of time, they already made it more than halfway to the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range.
In the Beyond Heavens Pavilion, Luo Baixu, who was a man of few words, sighed, “We have always said that Patriarch Kou’s sword art is terrifying and none of us paid attention to his ability to control world origin. Looks like his cultivation improved once again. I wonder how deep his understanding of the Martial Dipper Realm truly is… This is truly amazing… Even I have no choice but to admit that I am no match for him.”
“Senior Brother, you…” Xu Bailing’s expression changed and he stared at Xu Bailing in shock.
Xu Bailing wasn’t the only one who was in a state of disbelief. Shang Bo and Ji Wenlong couldn’t believe what they were hearing either.
Kou Chongxue might be a top-rate expert in the Azure Origin World and possessed a sword art so powerful that it caused others to tremble in fear, but Shang Bo and Ji Wenlong both heard him admit that Luo Baixu of the Changbai Holy Land also possessed unfathomable strength. It was even said that they were somewhat comparable in strength.
Because of several considerations Luo Baixu had, he never went around flaunting his strength. Facing the tyrannical Kou Chongxue, he would choose to exercise forbearance. As long as Kou Chongxue didn’t go too far and affect the foundations of the Changbai Holy Land, he would accept it.
As such, Kou Chongxue reminded those from the Tongyou Institution time and time again never to provoke Luo Baixu.
Even after Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo entered the Martial Dipper Realm, Kou Chongxue’s reminders didn’t stop. He warned them to maintain a certain level of respect to Luo Baixu as the man was comparable to himself. He wasn’t confined to the Changbai Holy Land either and could move freely throughout the worlds.
According to what Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo knew, Luo Baixu might have taken several steps back when dealing with Kou Chonguxe, but he had never commented on their difference in strength. After all, they had never truly gone all out in a fight. He never thought that he was inferior to Kou Chongxue in any way.
Now that Luo Baixu admitted that he was no match for Kou Chongxue, everyone was taken aback. Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo even felt that things were getting somewhat absurd.
They knew that the person directing the flow of world origin wasn’t Kou Chongxue at all! It was Shang Xia, who had just broken through to the Martial Dipper Realm!
That was exactly why they found it so unbelievable.
Luo Baixu might be admitting that he was inferior to Kou Chongxue without knowing who was truly behind the events happening below, but that meant that Shang Xia’s control of world origin had already reached a level that could amaze powerful experts at the level of Luo Baixu and Kou Chongxue!
Things had to be made very clear. Shang Xia was a newbie in the Martial Dipper Realm who had broken through less than a month ago! They might all be in the Martial Dipper Realm, but they were obviously split into different levels.
Experts like Kou Chongxue and Xu Bailing were considered true peak-tier experts! They held an extremely high position among Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors of both words!
To be able to receive their praise was like receiving a confirmation of one’s status in the world!
…
Of course, Xu Bailing wasn’t the only one who was shocked by ‘Kou Chongxue’s’ abilities.
There were countless eyes on the You Continent at the moment and the Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors of the various factions were starting to feel a sense of fear creeping in their hearts after they observed how ‘Kou Chongxue’ exerted such perfect control over world origin.
Even though ‘Kou Chongxue’ didn’t exchange blows with Yun Lu who was actively causing trouble at the moment, everyone who had their attention on the You Continent at the moment didn’t think that it was anything out of the ordinary. Even Yun Lu was of the same belief. All of them felt that ‘Kou Chongxue’ was merely practicing his control of world origin because of an increase in his cultivation base.
“Hmph! Since all of you are not willing to make a move, go ahead and watch as the Tongyou Mysterious World becomes the Tongyou Paradise!” Yun Lu snorted once. However, he seemed unwilling to give up.
He pushed himself to his limit and so did his Fate Dipper Clone. 4 spatial tunnels were created above the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range and one of them was directed at the world origin stream that was directing the larger flying spiritual beasts. The others went towards the streams that led the ground beasts.
As world origin got closer to the THousand Leaf Mountain Range, ‘Kou Chongxue’s’ control over them would weaken considerably.
On the contrary, Yun Lu, who was pretty close to the mountain range, would be able to control world origin with greater ease.
That was why he had the guts to create 4 spatial tunnels at once to snatch world origin from ‘Kou Chongxue’.
The next second, an unbelievable scene played out in front of everyone who was paying attention to the You Continent. The streams of world origin leading the ground beasts split once again. This time, they were separated by size! The stream of world origin once again avoided the spatial tunnel created by Yun Lu.
Even though the streams of world origin were hundreds of miles away from the Tongyo uCity, Shang Xia was actually able to effectively control them to split once again!
That wasn’t just shocking anymore. In fact, everyone could only describe it as a godly ability!
One had to know that from what everyone was observing, ‘Kou Chongxue’ was merely splitting off a part of his consciousness to control the world origin streams! He was also directing the ascension of the Tongyou Mysterious World to the Tongyou Paradise!
Where… Where do his limits lay…
That was the same thought that appeared in the minds of those keeping an eye on the You Continent.
Luckily, or unluckily, Shang Xia seemed to have reached his limit. Seeing as they were getting close to the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range, the various beast races were also actively splitting themselves up.
After controlling the streams of world origin leading the ground beasts to split, Shang Xia didn’t seem to have enough energy to deal with the stream of world origin leading the larger flying beasts. He could only watch as the spatial tunnel connected and absorbed a huge amount of world origin.
The next second, a loud cry rocked the skies. A ray of lightning appeared above the stream of world origin seemed to cover half the You Continent. It eventually dissipated to reveal a pair of outstretched wings. Silver lightning gathered around its body and it eventually became a thick lightning bolt that struck the spatial tunnel, blasting it into nothingness.
