Chapter 878: Yanlin City’s Troubles
The beast tides were still wreaking havoc in the city.
The moment they entered the city earlier, the dense heaven and earth spiritual qi caused all of them to lose their minds.
Originally, all of their consciousness was nudged by the thought of danger produced by the Worlds Will and it led them to rush over to the Yanlin City from the depths of the Southern Yanlin Continent or the sea.
However, the feeling was instinctual and as simple-minded beasts, they had no idea what their sense of danger was pointing them towards.
After entering the city, they had no idea what to do. Following their instincts, they started to cause widespread destruction. Perhaps by doing so, they would be able to get rid of the feeling of danger in their minds!
Actually, using the beast tides to break into the city wasnt a bad idea at all. If they continued to rampage about, they would eventually find the entrance to the secret region that contained the Yanlin Holy Land. They would also be able to locate the Stellar Cauldron which was the source of the danger they were feeling and eventually destroy it.
When that happened, the Worlds Wills intention of causing the beast tides would be accomplished!
Unfortunately, those beasts didnt know what they were aiming for and were moving about in a chaotic manner. It was a perfect opportunity for the experts of the Azure Ascension World to buy even more time. After all, that was all they needed at the moment.
Perhaps it was because of how the grand formation fused with the many structures in the city, but those spiritual beasts were finding it tough to break each and every structure. They started to fuel their strength into leveling the city as if it were a challenge for them.
The Formation Grandmasters on the platform in the core region of the city placed most of their attention on those structures after observing the behavior of the beast tide. They even created some traps before intentionally weakening the protection of some structures to bait over groups of spiritual beasts. They would draw those beasts over with heaven and earth spiritual qi and get them to attack the fortified structures.
Of course, it wasnt as though all the spiritual beasts would be confused by their actions. There were a few high-level beasts that charged straight through the city and they were lucky enough to find a path strength to the core region of the city.
Unfortunately for them, they were extremely few in number. There were too many beasts in the city and they were charging in all directions. The few beasts who managed to charge straight through couldnt threaten the experts of the Azure Ascension World much and they were quickly dealt with.
Kou Chongxue eventually raised his head to look at the skies above before muttering, I will need to personally start the Spatial Transfer. I will have to trouble all of you to hold the line here
All of a sudden, Yifeng spoke up, Since you need someone to take over your position, why not get our little friend out here to move his muscles a little? He hasnt fought since we entered the heavenly screen, right? If Im not mistaken, he has been cultivating non-stop while controlling the Origin Holy Artifact. With you as the only exception, our little friend should have benefited the most during this trip. This is the perfect opportunity for us to observe his true abilities.
No one knew if he was intentionally making things difficult for Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia, or if he was pulling a typical random Yifeng move.
Everyone standing around was smart enough to pretend not to hear him as they continued to deal with the situation at hand.
Glancing at Yifeng, a strange smile appeared on Kou Chongxues face. Alright, its not like the kid didnt do anything, but honestly, I am also curious about how strong he has become.
He seemed to have thought of something the next moment and he continued, Oh right, all of you are more than enough to protect the core region of the city. We shall send the Martial Extermination Realm cultivators of our world into the cauldron first.
No one raised any objections to that.
In the Yanlin Holy Land, Shang Xia wasnt surprised to see Kou Chongxues reappearance to take control of the Stellar Cauldron.
According to his calculations, Shang Xia knew that filling the cauldron up three-quarters of the way would be enough. Now that he had surpassed the 80 percent mark, it could be said that he managed to exceed all expectations.
Also, the Stellar Cauldron was a Origin Holy Artifact that had already been refined and the person who truly owned it was Kou Chongxue.
It was fine for Shang Xia to temporarily control the Stellar Cauldron and make use of its basic functionalities when Kou Chongxue gave him the authority to do so. However, if they wanted to complete the Spatial Transfer, Kou Chongxue had to control the artifact personally! There was also no need to mention how Shang Xia was far from comparable to Kou Chongxue now that the old man had reached the grand completion stage of the Martial Dipper Realm. The only thing he would be better at would be controlling world origin which wouldnt be needed in the next phase of their plan.
Even though Shang Xia already expected as much, he couldnt help but grumble after realizing that Kou Chongxue wanted to start the Spatial Transfer. Are we really going to activate it now? From the looks of it, it wont be easy for the beast tides to enter the core region of the city. Why dont we take the chance to continue absorbing world origin? We still have some space left in the cauldron anyway!
Kou Chongxue pretty much expected Shang Xias response. He didnt bother turning back to look at Shang Xia as he chuckled to himself. Its never good to be too greedy! Sometimes, we need to know when to stop!
Once Kou Chongxue regained control of the Stellar Cauldron, Shang Xia could feel a portion of world origin rolling about inside. Soon after, the space above the cauldron tore apart and transformed into a spatial vortex. A powerful divine will entered the vortex and it seemed to be communicating with something god knows how far away.
As though he could still see the look of regret on Shang Xias face, Kou Chongxue explained while controlling a portion of world origin within the cauldron. Even though it seems like the World Origin Source of the Azure Flame World seems to be one complete sea of world origin, its actually split into 4 parts that correspond to each continent. Each of the 4 parts would be able to vaguely communicate with each other.
Shang Xia didnt know the reason Kou Chongxue was telling him all that, but he quietly listened at the side.
The communication between them seems pretty limited and the speed of your absorption has already surpassed the speed at which the other parts of the World Origin Source and replenish the sea of world origin that corresponds to the Southern Yanlin Continent. If we continue to draw world origin, the sea of world origin will dry up eventually. The city wont be the only thing affected when that happens. In fact, more than half the Southern Yanlin Continent might be so damaged that it would sink to the bottom of the ocean Kou Chongxue continued.
Shang Xia didnt doubt Kou Chongxues analysis. After all, Kou Chongxue was an existence at the limit of what an Azure World could contain. He was at the grand completion stage of the Martial Dipper Realm and his understanding of the world was at a different level from anyone else present.
Actually, even Shang Xia could faintly feel the sea of world origin drying up. After they left, the city and hundreds of miles around it would most likely be destroyed and would sink to the bottom of the ocean.
After the explanation, Kou Chongxue also seemed to remember something. Oh right. The moment I start the Spatial Transfer, the heavenly screen will definitely react. The experts of the Azure Flame World who are hiding in the shadows to take advantage of the situation will definitely make their move then. You should head out to help the rest resist the pressure. However Dont fall into any traps and be wary of everyone!
Shang Xia was slightly taken aback. He seemed to have realized something and a smile appeared on his face as he left the Yanlin Holy Land.
At the same time, in the air above the city, a powerful pillar of light tore through the heavens. It shattered the heavenly screen above and created a mighty vortex in the dense clouds and lightning.
The second the pillar appeared, it was like a beacon that pointed the beasts in the right direction. The plan of those from the Azure Ascension World also seemed to have reached its final phase.
One didnt need to mention the experts of the Azure Flame World if even the spiritual beasts understood what was happening. They knew that the time had come. The experts of the Azure Flame World prepared to take action as the beasts rushed in the direction of the pillar of light.
When Shang Xia appeared, a good majority of the Martial Extermination Realm experts had already entered the space in the Stellar Cauldron.
A strange smile appeared on Yifengs face when he saw Shang Xia. Hehe, little friend, I was planning to see how strong you really are when you fought alone, but from how things are looking, all of us probably have to work together
Shang Xia nodded slightly and stared in the northern direction of the city. 2 massive flying ships that were riddled with damage reappeared as they charged at the experts of the Azure Ascension World with renewed vigor.
At the same time, the beast tides had already surrounded the core region of the city.
What was even more incredible was the fact that most of the beasts avoided the flying ships as they passed.
Is the Azure Flame Worlds Will actually able to influence the behavior of the beasts to such a degree? Several Martial Dipper Realm experts gasped in shock.
Lu Wuzi glanced at whoever spoke earlier and muttered casually, It has nothing to do with that. Theyre just attracted to the pillar of light
The experts gathered together couldnt help but turn to look at the pillar of light that had pierced a hole in the heavenly screen above the Azure Flame World.
The next moment, Jiu Du turned to look at Shang Xia and muttered, Kid, are we able to attack their flying ship again?
Shaking his head, Shang Xia sighed, Junior has already consulted the Formation Grandmasters of our Azure Ascension World. Too many structures have been damaged and the grand formation isnt as powerful as before. Unless the flying ships arrive in the vicinity of the core region of the city, otherwise, we wont be able to project the power of restricting space onto them.
Huang Jinghan, who managed to recover slightly, held the Yuanchen Sword in hand as he growled, We have no choice then. We have to face it head-on. Lets hope that Kou Chongxue can hurry up and start the transfer
Yifeng seemed more interested in Shang Xia than anything else. Ever since he emerged from the Yanlin Holy Land, Yifengs gaze had never left him.
When he saw the look of contemplation on Shang Xias face, he couldnt help but speak up. Kid, you seem to have thought of something! Why dont you share your idea with us?
Oh. Shang Xia grunted once and looked up, only to realize everyone was staring at him. A smile appeared on his face and he chuckled, Why dont we release the suppression of the grand formation on the land beneath us?
As soon as he spoke, everyone narrowed their eyes while staring at him.
He couldnt help but laugh casually while asking, Whats the matter?
Heh! Little friend, youre really sinister However, I like it! Yifeng roared with laughter.
Lu Wuzi nodded in agreement. Since were going to leave and this place will definitely turn into a wasteland, its fine if we
Well, its not going to be easy. Jiu Du interrupted. How can we ensure that the core region would be destroyed along with the rest of the city if we get rid of the suppression?
If all of you trust me, I can give it a shot! Shang Xia chuckled in a low voice.
As the flying ships raced in the direction of the core region of the city, Yuancang Mings expression was ugly to the extreme.
One of his subordinates ran over suddenly to make a hasty report.
Whats the matter? Yuancang Ming didnt seem to possess the same imposing manner he did before. Instead, he sounded a little short of breath. He fought with Kou Chongxue earlier and was struck by the other partys sword qi.
If not for the fact that he had multiple experts beside him to distract Kou Chongxue, he might have had to sacrifice a clone in order to escape with his life.
The Martial Sage who made the report hesitated slightly before whispering, Yanlin Jue He ran away!
Ran away? Where the hell is he supposed to run off to? Wait Ran.
Before he could finish speaking, a heaven-shaking rumble came from the city. A look of shock appeared on Yuancang Mings face.
Turning to stare in the direction of the city, he noticed it crumbling at a terrifying pace. With the exception of the core region, everything hundreds of miles around it was facing utter destruction!
