Chapter 891: Assistance
Shang Xia didn’t plan to stay behind to help the experts of the Yu Continent. He already provided huge assistance by helping the expert of the Great Observation Sect get rid of a Fate Dipper Clone.
After everyone arrived, Shang Xia opened up a path to the You Continent.
The distance was greatly shortened in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion. However, if Shang Xia was alone, the time required for him to return to the You Continent wouldn’t differ by much with his increased cultivation and control over space.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t alone. Liu Qinglan was still unconscious and he had to bring the other members of the Tongyou Institution back. He could only take the risk to travel along the Beyond Heavens Pavilion.
In the spatial tunnels 10,000 miles away from the Beyond Heavens Pavilion, Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Spirit Abundance World were pouring out one after another.
Even though Shang Xia had been trying his best to avoid any battles, it didn’t take long for their group to attract the attention of those experts.
Before they could leave the Beyond Heavens Pavilion above the Yu Continent, 2 Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Spirit Abundance World arrived to stop them.
Shang Xia was afraid they would be drawn into a protracted battle, allowing other experts to surround them, and he decided to deal with the threat in the shortest time possible.
Tossing his Five Element Ring into the space before him, it started to spin rapidly. Soon, a secondary light ring emerged and the blurry Reversed Five Element Ring [1] emerged.
Reaching out, Shang Xia pushed both rings forward and they flew at the 2 Martial Dipper Realm experts who appeared to stop them.
With Shang Xia’s refinement of his fate dipper essences reaching the large completion stage, his Five Element Origin could burst forth with unending power. The power of the five elements interacted with each other, resonating while keeping each other in check. The flow of his inner qi was perfectly controlled and if he didn’t intentionally reveal the strength of his attack, no one would know how powerful it really was until it hit them.
As the Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Spirit Abundance World faced the incoming light rings that contained questionable might, they didn’t know if they should go all out to stop it. In the end, they displayed their seamless coordination as one of them chose to defend while the other took the chance to attack Shang Xia in order to force an opening.
Who would have thought the moment the first cultivator came into contact with the light rings, their expressions would change in unison?
The blade qi summoned by the expert who chose to resist Shang Xia’s attack head-on felt it dissolving rapidly, and it seemed to completely disappear the next moment.
“Retreat!” Seeing as the situation was unfavorable, the thought of running immediately filled the other expert’s mind. He didn’t forget to remind his fellow cultivator.
It was a shame. Facing the Five Element Ring and Reversed Five Element Ring that had locked on to their inner qi, it wasn’t going to be so easy to escape. The expert who was defending with his blade qi earlier was able to hold out for a second longer as he poured his inner qi endlessly into his defense. The expert who chose to run wasn’t so lucky. He was trapped by the Five Element Ring the next moment.
As he struggled desperately, the Five Element Ring shrank violently and severed his body in half.
With a look of fright on his face, the Martial Dipper Realm expert realized that everything happened so quickly that he wasn’t even able to split off a Fate Dipper Clone to die in his place!
From his perspective, the moment the divine weapon that was shining with a five colored light trapped him, a seal seemed to be placed on his dantian. Even with his abilities, he failed to create a Fate Dipper Clone no matter how hard he tried!
Every Martial Dipper Realm expert had extremely strong life force and even though the expert was cut in two, he didn’t die immediately. Since he wasn’t some weird sadist who liked to watch people suffer, Shang Xia waved his hand casually and exterminated the other party’s soul.
The other Martial Dipper Realm expert of the Spirit Abundance World released his protection barrier after realizing he wasn’t his opponent’s match. It might not have held out for long, but it was enough for him to get a chance to live.
When he saw how his comrade didn’t even have time to sacrifice a Fate Dipper Clone to save himself, he immediately split off one to take his place. His true body retracted his aura the best he could and rushed into the void above the Beyond Heavens Pavilion. The next second, the Reversed Five Element Ring destroyed his Fate Dipper Clone and turned it back into a ball of pure energy.
Shit! Who is this savage bastard?!
Cold sweat formed on the forehead of the Martial Dipper Realm expert who escaped. He no longer cared about the order to attack the Azure Ascension World as he flew away without turning back.
He wasn’t the only person who was shocked by how things played out. The Martial Extermination Realm experts of the Tongyou Institution were equally as shocked by Shang Xia’s sudden increase in strength. They knew that Shang Xia’s combat abilities would rise greatly with his increase in cultivation level, but they didn’t think his improvement would be so terrifying!
Those were 2 third element Martial Dipper Realm experts!
They were killed by Shang Xia with a single move like he was chopping up some vegetables!
Only then did they truly understand how confident Shang Xia was when he told them no one would be able to stop them on their way back to the You Continent. In fact, he might have even been downplaying his abilities earlier!
According to them, there was probably no one in the Azure Ascension World who would be able to do better than Shang Xia when they were up against 2 third element Martial Dipper Realm experts from the Spirit Abundance World other than Kou Chongxue himself! That was the strongest Martial Dipper Realm expert in the Azure Ascension World they were talking about!
“Hurry, we need to move!” Shang Xia took the chance when the experts of the Spirit Abundance World were too afraid to approach to race to the north.
“From the looks of it, we should be above the Yang Continent. No one knew what happened, but a hundred or so years ago, it was claimed by the Yu Continent. The Yu Continent got into some conflict with the Jiao Continent and in the end, they returned the portion of the Yang Continent they claimed...” Tian Mengzi saw that everyone was no longer in danger and started to gossip.
Sun Haiwei, who was flying in front of him, didn’t bother turning her head as she replied, “There were also rumors that the various families and sects in the Yang Continent worked with the Great Observation Sect to attack it from the inside. They backstabbed the Lushan Sect and allowed the Great Observation Sect to expand their influence during their meteoric rise back then. From the looks of it now, the Great Observation Sect seemed to have fallen for the Lushan Sect’s plot!”
Chu Jia, who was flying behind Shang Xia, seemed surprised and she raised her eyebrows slightly. “What do you mean?”
“Think about it. When did Liu Jingsheng disappear from the face of our world when he prepared to enter the Sixth Order?” Sun Haiwei analyzed.
Tian Mengzi, Dou Zhong, and the cultivators of the younger generation didn’t actually know the answer to the question, and Yan Ming was even more clueless as she was originally from the Azure Spiritual World.
The same couldn’t be said for Chu Jia. “Did he also disappear over a hundred years ago? Do you mean that the Lushan Sect had already discovered the Yuanchen Sect’s plan to transform the Xiangyang Holy Land and chose to give up a piece of their territory so as to create a buffer region between themselves and the ambitious Yuanchen Sect?”
Dou Zhong frowned in response. “That seems a little too early... How will the Lushan Sect be sure that Liu Jingsheng’s ascension will succeed? After all, it took more than a hundred years...”
Tian Mengzi added, “Unless the Lushan Sect already knew some insider information and was certain Liu Jingsheng’s ascension would happen. Or at the very least, his ascension would most likely succeed... Only then would they give up their territory so easily!”
Amidst their conversation, Shang Xia had brought them across the Yu Continent and entered the Beyond Heavens Pavilion above the Yan Continent.
The Yan Continent used to be the smallest continent of the Azure Origin World back then, but due to the collision between the worlds, a good portion of the You Continent was taken out. Only then did the Yan Continent become the second smallest continent of the Azure Ascension World.
With the rapid expansion of the You Continent, it wouldn’t be long before they returned the title to the Yan Continent.
The Yan Continent was controlled by the Zhongxuan Gate, and due to its small size, there was basically no other power causing trouble within.
3 Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Zhongxuan Gate brought their disciples to resist the invasion. Even though there had been several Martial Dipper Realm experts who infiltrated the world, it wouldn’t be a problem to handle themselves.
It was especially so after Ancestor Xuan Chang of the Zhongxuan Gate returned with 3 Martial Extermination Realm experts. Their overall combat power rose by a huge margin and the Zhongxuan Gate received a huge boost.
Under such circumstances, Shang Xia’s journey through the Yan Continent was pretty smooth.
There was someone who tried to stand in his way, but Shang Xia didn’t care and went all out once again. He destroyed a Fate Dipper Clone in an instant, and the other party ran away with his tail tucked between his legs.
In actuality, the person who tried to stop Shang Xia and gang was extremely careful. He had a lot of life-saving treasures, but that didn’t stop the Five Element Ring.
The actions of Shang Xia and the others couldn’t avoid being detected by the experts of the Zhongxuan Gate. A newly ascended Martial Dipper Realm expert came over to look at the cause of the disturbance and when he saw that it was Shang Xia and the others, he turned to leave.
No matter what, Shang Xia’s appearance in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion above the Yan Continent and his actions of eliminating a Fate Dipper Clone proved to be of great help to the Zhongxuan Gate.
Their smooth journey stopped when they arrived in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion above the Ji Continent.
Shang Xia’s actions of traveling across the Beyond Heavens Pavilion attracted the attention of the peak-tier experts of both sides. It was especially so since he killed and heavily injured many experts of the Spirit Abundance World along his way.
Not too long after they arrived at the Beyond Heavens Pavilion above the Ji Continent, both the Martial Dipper Realm experts who had their Fate Dipper Clone destroyed by Shang Xia earlier appeared to keep an eye on him. They maintained their distance and flew about as far as they could without losing Shang Xia. Soon after, 2 other people were notified and they rushed over.
A horrifying aura descended the moment they appeared. They arrived tens of miles away from Shang Xia’s group in an instant and released their might of fourth element Martial Dipper Realm experts!
Appearance-wise, they were no weaker than Huang Jinghan, Yifeng, and the other peak-tier existences of the Azure Ascension World. One of them even seemed to be holding a weapon that resembled a hook and a shovel at the same time, and it was clearly a divine weapon!
They didn’t waste any time. The moment they appeared, they wanted to kill everyone from the Tongyou Institution.
Chu Jia started to panic and she revealed a look of fright behind Shang Xia. “Shit! You showed off a little too much back then... Can you handle them?!”
Shang Xia didn’t even turn his head as he took a single step forward. His figure seemed to rise slightly as the Five Element Ring appeared above him. The Reversed Five Element Ring split off from the divine weapon and started to spin under his feet. “Well, you guys better start thinking about how to deal with those who lost the Fate Dipper Clone earlier.”
