Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1649: Seven Star Spirit Setting Pill

Gao Qin reacted swiftly. Almost the instant the dark star was struck out of the void by Shang Xia, she realized the situation was desperate and chose to cut her losses.

Under the combined assault of Shang Xia’s External Avatar, Ge Qingzhu, and 2 other True Immortals, Gao Qin, who already seemed exhausted, suddenly grew in size by more than half a foot. Her fierce punches not only regained their peak power but even grew stronger by a third.

Ignoring the other 3 True Immortals, allowing their attacks to rain down on her, she charged straight at Shang Xia’s External Avatar.

"Don’t act rashly, stick to your roles!" Shang Xia’s External Avatar shouted to the others as he prepared to meet Gao Qin head-on, suspecting that her move was a ploy to break out.

However, in the moment of their clash, Shang Xia’s External Avatar could tell that Gao Qin wasn’t just bluffing; she was actually trying to break through at the strongest point.

As they engaged in close combat, the attacks from Ge Qingzhu and the others were momentarily disrupted. Although they didn’t stop attacking completely, the pressure on Gao Qin was at its lowest.

This time, however, the External Avatar firmly withstood Gao Qin’s charge. The 2 tangled in close combat, shattering the void above the You Continent, turning nearly a third of the heavens into chaos, yet Gao Qin could not find a way to break free.

"You’ve overlooked one thing!" Amidst their fierce battle, Shang Xia’s External Avatar’s voice clearly reached Gao Qin’s ears. "The Black Cloud Sail used by your chief to shield the effects of the will of this world has been torn apart by my true body. The power you gained through secret techniques, meant to counteract the will of this world, has not only been neutralized but even weakened further."

As he spoke, the External Avatar’s palm strikes changed. Each face-off with Gao Qin’s punches produced a thunderous crackle, with purple and green lightning flashing in his palms and seeping into Gao Qin’s body, gradually dissolving the artificially enhanced strength she borrowed.

Gao Qin’s face, now beet red, and her breathing grew labored. Even her eyes were completely bloodshot.

The next second, Shang Xia’s External Avatar suddenly pushed forward with a palm strike. Although Gao Qin blocked it with her arms, the thunderous lightning that had seeped into her body exploded at that instant. Gao Qin's body briefly flashed with electrical light, and her swollen physique suddenly collapsed, along with her once fierce momentum.

Shang Xia unleashed his Chaos Essence Lightning Palm earlier, a martial intent he comprehended a long time ago.

With her secret technique broken, Gao Qin seemed out of options. Yet, just then, reeling from the backlash of her secret technique, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of essence blood, transforming it into a blood arrow aimed directly at the External Avatar’s face.

"Ah, such old tricks!" Shang Xia’s External Avatar swiftly activated an Abyss Prison Emptiness Talisman to block the blood arrow, which contained Gao Qin’s primal energy. He remained firmly in place in front of her.

Meanwhile, seeing that Gao Qin seemed spent, Ge Qingzhu and the others quickly advanced, tightening the encirclement around her. However, just then, the feather-like fragments of the Black Cloud Sail, as if attracted, began swirling toward Gao Qin.

"Not good!" Shang Xia’s External Avatar exclaimed, using Breaking World again to annihilate some of the fragments. Ge Qingzhu and the others also made moves to obliterate the gathering darkness.

Still, a considerable portion of the fragments gathered around Gao Qin, instantly forming a pair of green-black wings behind her.

"She’s trying to escape!" Shang Xia’s External Avatar immediately closed the distance with Gao Qin, unleashing several palm strikes in rapid succession.

Yet, the remaining fragments melted into the void just in time, slowing the External Avatar’s advance as if he were moving through a viscous liquid. His speed slowed dramatically, and the bolts of lightning from his palms were weakened layer by layer. When they finally struck Gao Qin, their power had been reduced by 70 percent, barely causing her any harm.

On the other side, Ge Qingzhu and the others were also struggling to close in on Gao Qin. Unfortunately, they were even slower than Shang Xia’s External Avatar.

At the last moment, Gao Qin shot the External Avatar a deep look. The wings behind her flapped vigorously once, then began to disintegrate, self-destructing. Using the last thrust provided by the remains of the Black Cloud Sail, she suddenly burst out of the tumultuous void, escaping nearly 3,000 miles away. The External Avatar and Ge Qingzhu, along with the others, could only watch as she staggered away from the You Continent. “Shame.”

Ge Qingzhu regrouped with the others and watched as she left. They quickly suppressed the fluctuating void to prevent any further damage to the continent.

Shang Xia’s External Avatar looked at the others before he chuckled, "Whether it’s Hou Xingfeng, or Gao Qin... Both are high-level True Immortals. It wouldn’t be easy to stop them from leaving, especially since my true body can’t fight at full strength.”

Dou Zhong spoke solemnly, "I’m just worried they might still attempt to cause trouble."

Shang Xia’s External Avatar confidently replied, "Don’t worry, both have been severely injured this time. Not only was the treasure shielding them from the world’s will torn apart, but their foundations should have also been damaged, which isn’t something they can easily recover from."

After a pause, the External Avatar added, "At least, they wouldn’t dare to step into the You Continent without even more help.”

Suddenly, Zhu Nang, who had been quiet during the battle, asked, "How is the Lord now?"

The External Avatar looked at him and smiled, "Rest assured, my true body has not been affected. Uh..."

Shang Xia’s External Avatar paused suddenly, causing Ge Qingzhu and the others to tense up.

Seeing their anxious expressions, the External Avatar smiled slightly, "No worries, my true body is preparing to create my rank seven advancement medicine.”

Zhu Nang brightened up. "Are you finally preparing to ascend? But... Is he going to craft it himself?”

As Zhu Nang knew, Shang Xia was not an Alchemist. Even the highest level Alchemist in the Tongyou Institution could only craft rank five advancement medicines. There was no way they could craft rank seven ones.

Ge Qingzhu and Dou Zhong also quickly grasped Zhu Nang’s implication and looked doubtfully at Shang Xia’s External Avatar.

The External Avatar remained calm and smiled. "My true body indeed doesn’t know how to craft advancement medicines, but fortunately, this time, he has a capable assistant."

At that, the External Avatar deliberately paused, leaving a cliffhanger.

Dou Zhong, somewhat puzzled, quickly asked, "Assistant? What assistant?"

The External Avatar smiled, gesturing upwards to the sky and downwards to the ground, "The assistant is none other than this very world itself."
