Chapter 915: Suppressing Dugu Yuanshan
Kou Chongxue didn’t question Shang Xia’s decision to target Dugu Yuanshan and not the weaker Zhao Wuhen. Instead, he asked about the strength of the restraint Shang Xia could use. After receiving confirmation, he chose to target Dugu Yuanshan as per Shang Xia’s idea.
Shang Xia didn’t think that Kou Chongxue would be so confident he would be able to trap Dugu Yuanshan. Whatever it was, he stored enough energy in the Stellar Cauldron and had to release it soon.
With the world origin from the newly transformed Spirit Luxuriant World, Shang Xia reached the limit of what he could store a long time ago. He didn’t hesitate to pour all the energy contained within into his Five Element Ring before tossing it at Dugu Yuanshan!
A thought flashed through Shang Xia’s mind. He seemed to understand why Kou Chongxue agreed to allow him to target Dugu Yuanshan. However, all his attention was placed onto the Five Element Ring at the moment and he couldn’t think about much else.
As the Five Element Ring flew through the air, it ignored the spatial fluctuations all around while emitting a tail of five colored lights. It swept through every resistance in its path as it approached the battlefield.
The Five Element Ring seemed to fumble slightly as its target didn’t seem fixed, but a divine will suddenly swept past Zhao Wuhen’s surroundings.
With Dugu Yuanshan and Xiong Chunyang realizing that Shang Xia had made his move, they also noticed that the five colored light seemed extremely similar to what trapped Lu Pingyuan back then and caused him to suffer heavy injuries, They immediately flew over to protect Zhao Wuhen, their weakest link!
Who would have thought that the Five Element Ring would make a strange shift in space before soaring towards Dugu Yuanshan?”
No one expected their target to be Dugu Yuanshan!
Facing the sudden change in situation, not only did Dugu Yuanshan not panic, instead, a sneer appeared on his face.
As someone who entered the third tier of the Martial Void Realm, Dugu Yuanshan was also one of the strongest experts in the Spirit Abundance World. For them to use him as a method to break out of their desperate situation wasn’t just humiliating for him! They clearly didn’t know what was good for them!
Being an expert who had years of accumulations in the Martial Void Realm, Dugu Yuanshan wouldn’t be dumb enough to let his guard down during a battle like that. He could feel that the Five Element Ring wasn’t enough to injure him, but he still roused the Void Qi in his body to scatter the incoming five colored light.
The next second, a strange feeling formed in his heart. Just as he was about to make his move, Kou Chongxue, who had been suppressed by him the entire time, released a powerful sword qi! It quickly shaved away a good portion of the energy he had been circulating!
Liu Jingsheng, who was fighting alongside Kou Chongxue, also chose him as a target. Pulling energy from his Xiangyang Elysium, he threw everything he had in Dugu Yuanshan’s direction. The spatial fluctuations that were starting to form around Dugu Yuanshan to scatter the five colored light were quickly quelled.
Yang Taihe intensified his assault on Xiong Chunyang at the same time. He was so engrossed in the battle that he nearly left the border of the Shu Continent.
On the other side, Li Jidao was still hesitant when he saw Yang Taihe risking it all to hold his opponent back. Finally circulating his inner qi to the limit, he also went all out.
With the time they bought, Shang Xia’s Five Element Ring arrived above Dugu Yuanshan’s head.
“Hmph!” He might not have intercepted it, but their cultivation level was just too far apart. With a soft snort, he decided to focus on dealing with Kou Chongxue and Liu Jingsheng.
With the transformation complete and the Spirit Luxuriant World taking shape, the Martial Void Realm experts there gained greater strength from the assistance of the world.
The experts of the Spirit Abundance World were also suppressed greatly, and they became weaker than before.
Otherwise, there would be no way for Kou Chongxue who just entered the Martial Void Realm to put any pressure on the third tier Martial Void Realm Dugu Yuanshan! Even with his amazing sword art, the difference in pure cultivation was just too large!
The next moment, the Five Element Ring started to spin around his head and a massive palm that shone with five colors emerged.
What useless tricks!
Dugu Yuanshan thought to himself. Earlier, he had seen the palm, and from what he felt, there was no chance he would be threatened by it.
He became even more disinterested in the Five Element Palm and he created a strange spatial screen above him.
The moment the spatial screen was complete, it was shattered by the giant five colored palm!
“What?!” Dugu Yuanshan was greatly taken aback. When he raised his head to take a look, he felt that the spatial screen he created had long since been corroded by the five colored light that made up the giant palm.
He even felt as though he had been trapped in a separate space as the palm continued to call.
That wasn’t all. When he felt the space around him being separated, the heavenly screen beneath his feet pulled upwards at a rapid pace. It was as though he would be dragged into the Spirit Luxuriant World the next moment!
“We can’t let them succeed!”
Finally, Dugu Yuanshan no longer treated Shang Xia as a useless addition to the battle. Understanding that he had fallen into their trap, he started to struggle desperately. The Five Element Space that barely trapped him started to shatter.
Shang Xia’s Five Element Dipper Qi could create a region of separate space and with the assistance of his Five Element Ring, he would be able to trap experts of the same level. He might have done it to Lu Pingyuan, but he wasn’t confident at all now that his target was Dugu Yuanshan.
Fortunately, Yang Taihe wasn’t the only one assisting him at the moment.
The second his restraint was formed, Liu Jingsheng soared towards Dugu Yuanshan with all his might. He also opened the heavenly screen beneath his feet.
Liu Jidao, who was fighting Xiong Chunyang at the moment, turned back that very moment and sent a palm strike towards Dugu Yuanshan who was struggling free.
With the assistance of the Spirit Luxuriant World and the Divine Capital Elysium, Li Jidao’s abilities were raised to the second tier of the Martial Void Realm. In fact, it was very close to the peak of the second tier Martial Void Realm. Dugu Yuanshan wouldn't treat an attack like that lightly and he had to resist!
Because of that, not only did he fail to struggle free from the assault. He was even forced deeper into the Spirit Luxuriant World.
“Oh no!” Xiong Chunyang roared when he saw what happened to Dugu Yuanshan. Unfortunately, he was stopped by Li Jidao and Yang Taihe.
As he fought both of them, his attacks were so powerful they forced Li Jidao and Yang Taihe into some sort of stalemate. The Eternal Elysium that appeared earlier, along with the Divine Capital Pagoda, started to turn illusory.
If the Martial Void Realm experts from both factions could return to take a look, they would notice that the space it contained not only shrank at a rapid pace, there were also massive storms kicked up within.
In order to suppress Xiong Chunyang, Yang Taihe and Li Jidao had to endure enormous pressure. They drew so much power from their Elysiums that they were damaged!
With their hard work, Xiong Chunyang was unable to provide support for Dugu Yuanshan.
Who would have thought that Zhao Wuhen would interfere at the very last second? All of them were so caught up in fighting the 2 strongest experts sent by the Spirit Abundance World that they forgot about him!
No matter how much weaker he became, he was still a powerful expert in the Martial Void Realm. At the very least, he was much stronger than Shang Xia, a fake.
Stretching out both his hands, he ripped the void before him and grabbed Dugu Yuanshan’s soldiers before ‘dragging’ him out of the Spirit Luxuriant World.
The Five Element Ring that was hovering above Dugu Yuanshan’s head came into contact with Zhao Wuhen’s hand when that happened.
“Buzz...” Shang Xia’s Five Element Ring started to tremble violently as the Five Element Dipper Qi it contained emerged and formed the Reversed Five Element Ring! They managed to work in unison to stop Zhao Wuhen from pulling Dugu Yuanshan away!
Of course, stopping a Martial Void Realm expert came at a price. Shang Xia spat out a mouthful of blood in the distance as the Five Element Ring suffered some damage.
Whatever it was, he managed to stop Zhao Wuhen from saving his comrade!
The next moment, Kou Chongxue, who had also been preparing to launch a decisive strike, slashed at Dugu Yuanshan!
Unable to struggle free from the Spirit Luxuriant World, Dugu Yuanshan released a long sigh. He brought out his divine weapon which was the massive mountain-like structure and raised it to defend himself.
Clang!
A loud blast rang through the skies as a silver mark was forcefully carved into Dugu Yuanshan’s weapon.
Under the weapon, Dugu Yuanshan, who had half his body poking out from the heavenly screen, was smacked down like a nail. With Kou Chongxue’s sword strike, he was forcefully pushed into the Spirit Luxuriant World.
If Dugu Yuanshan was suppressed when he was already above the heavenly screen, the moment he passed through, the suppression could possibly double!
The deeper he went into the Spirit Luxuriant World, the suppression would only increase! In fact, Dugu Yuanshan barely had 60 percent of his fighting strength after he was forced into the world!
The Azure Ascension World was far from comparable to the Spirit Luxuriant World. The pressure it could place on Dugu Yuanshan was far stronger than before.
It didn’t matter if it was Kou Chongxue, Liu Jingsheng, or the Martial Void Realm experts from the Spirit Luxuriant World. All of them understood that even if they forced Dugu Yuanshan into the world, killing him would be insanely difficult.
However, the other party had already fallen into their trap. With Dugu Yuanshan trapped in the Spirit Luxuriant World, he couldn’t do shit and could only be suppressed by the rest.
Of course, it wasn’t as though they didn’t pay a price to force Dugu Yuanshan into the Spirit Luxuriant World...
When Shang Xia looked down, the entire Jiao Continent was in tatters. It was most likely going to be destroyed even further, and when that happens, it might not even be comparable to the You Continent of the past.
