Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 999: Completely Destroyed!

“Zhang Xuansheng has been trapped in the Northern Sea Elysium?!” Shang Xia revealed an incredulous look after hearing what happened.

Li Jidao quickly added, “True Immortal Zhang should have complete control over the Northern Sea Elysium. They wouldn’t be able to trap him no matter what. However, Lu Wuzi and the rest seemed to have temporarily suppressed his divine soul such that he wouldn’t be able to discover what happened outside the Elysium, preventing him from discovering Lu Wuzi’s breakthrough...”

Shang Xia nodded instinctively. Li Jidao’s analysis made sense.

It was truly unbelievable for Martial Dipper Realm experts to trap a True Immortal in his Elysium no matter how many of them there were. Even if they caught him off guard, he had full control over the Elysium. Blocking his senses seemed a lot more possible.

It was then that Kou Chongxue muttered, “It’s the World Origin Source. Lu Wuzi might be able to prevent True Immortal Zhang’s divine soul from extending past the Elysium to find out what is happening outside, but he can’t seal off the World Origin Source! However... By the time the World Origin Source is affected, the most dangerous part of the breakthrough has already passed.”

Well... He might have passed the danger of breaking through, but everyone knew what Lu Wuzi would have to face next. He would have to overcome Zhang Xuansheng’s rage next.

If he was unable to do so, even if he passed through the gates of the Martial Void Realm, he would suffer in the hands of Zhang Xuansheng whose cultivation level was close to the third tier of the Martial Void Realm.

What in the world was Lu Wuzi relying on?

Liu Jingsheng broke out into laughter suddenly. “Looks like Lu Wuzi and those who were in on it had some impressive method to prevent True Immortal Zhang from discovering his actions. Unfortunately, they failed at the very last moment. Whatever it was... It’s impressive to be able to prevent him from rushing out from the Northern Sea Elysium the instant he discovered the anomaly. If I’m not wrong, Lu Wuzi definitely obtained the method in the Star Origin City.”

As the words left his lips, a tyrannical and majestic aura burst into the skies from the north. Intense spatial fluctuations spread across the land and it was clear to everyone present that Zhang Xuansheng had arrived.

“Traitor... Die!”

Everyone could feel the anger burning in Zhang Xuansheng’s heart. He might look calm, but his roar covered half the Spirit Luxuriant World.

As a True Immortal and the strongest expert in the Spirit Luxuriant World, he was actually played by disciples of his faction!

Above the heavenly screen, the phenomenon that was born from Lu Wuzi’s breakthrough finally started to recede. The True Immortals who gathered could tell that even though Lu Wuzi had successfully broken through, his Void Origin wasn’t fully consolidated. He wouldn’t be able to display more than half the might of a proper first tier Martial Void Realm expert.

Facing an enraged Zhang Xuansheng, Lu Wuzi didn’t have the slightest chance of victory!

However, what was special about the breakthrough was the fact that Lu Wuzi’s breakthrough had nothing to do with the Northern Sea Elysium. That meant that he wouldn’t be bound to an Elysium and he was in the same situation as Kou Chongxue.

Even if he couldn’t fight Zhang Xuansheng, he could run!

As long as he left the Spirit Luxuriant World for the time being, he wouldn’t have to worry about the peak second tier Martial Void Realm Zhang Xuansheng. Even if Zhang Xuansheng reached the third tier of the Martial Void Realm, he wouldn’t be able to do a thing to Lu Wuzi!

Actually... That was Lu Wuzi’s plan.

When Zhang Xuansheng easily tore through the restriction that was placed around the Northern Sea Elysium, Lu Wuzi no longer bothered consolidating his foundations. Even though he might suffer cultivation deviation and regress from the Martial Void Realm, he charged out of the heavenly screen.

The enraged Zhang Xuansheng followed closely behind.

Even though Zhang Xuansheng was chained to his Elysium, it didn’t mean that experts like them couldn’t venture out slightly.

With the successful birth of the Spirit Luxuriant World, True Immortals who were shackled to their Elysiums could actually venture out of the world a set distance away.

The distance was basically how far the defense system around the Spirit Luxuriant World was set up. After all, those True Immortals had to take charge of laying them down in the first place.

Lu Wuzi couldn’t even engage in conversation with the other True Immortals who had gathered above the heavenly screen as he tore through the void to run.

“Where the hell do you think you’re going?” A scarlet ball of light appeared above the heavenly screen and several streams of liquid-like substance shot into the void. They eventually gathered again into a massive cage that trapped him within.

Lu Wuzi maintained his composure as he tried to shatter the cage, Unfortunately, everything was futile.

He might be able to draw on a portion of the world’s energy now that he had broken through, but how could he possibly be stronger than Zhang Xuansheng who was both stronger than him and had been in the Martial Void Realm for a much longer time?

Of course, he wouldn’t give up easily. He started to gather his barely formed Void Origin and risked falling back to the Martial Dipper Realm to draw on as much power of the world as possible to shatter the cage.

The strange liquid-like prison that trapped Lu Wuzi was actually Zhang Xuansheng’s domain.

No matter how Lu Wuzi tried to struggle free, everything seemed futile. However, that didn’t mean that Lu Wuzi wasn’t consuming his Void Origin to try to break free. With the rate at which he was being exhausted, even if he managed to live, he would suffer grave injuries.

Zhang Xuansheng might have the upper hand, but he still seemed a little uneasy.

“I failed to notice the change when it happened. I’m ashamed you have to watch me clean house...” Zhang Xuansheng muttered to the rest. He seemed afraid that they would interfere in the battle and heavily emphasized that he was merely dealing with internal matters of his sect by ‘cleaning house’.

As he spoke, Lu Wuzi, who seemed to be struggling for his life in Zhang Xuansheng’s domain, spoke up. “Hmph, when you were in seclusion, I already announced my departure from the sect! I had nothing to do with your Northern Sea Mystic Sect from that moment on. This has nothing to do with the internal affairs of your sect!”

“Preposterous!” Zhang Xuansheng roared with anger. “You split up the sect and plot against your ancestors... Is there any other sect in our Spirit Luxuriant World who will dare to accept you?”

The scarlet liquid that resembled blood started to gather once again. It restricted Lu Wuzi’s movement in his domain.

Surprisingly, Lu Wuzi didn’t seem the slightest bit panicked. He muttered calmly, “From this day forth, I’ll set up my own sect, the Northern Ice Essence Sect! I will no longer have anything to do with the Northern Sea Mystic Sect. Fellow True Immortals, please witness my oath!

As he spoke, he connected to the Spirit Luxuriant World Origin Source and swore a martial oath!

Turning to the other True Immortals gathered above the heavenly screen, Lu Wuzi muttered, “What’s the matter? Is my cultivation not sufficient to create my own sect?”

The next moment, Shang Xia heard Kou Chongxue bursting into laughter. “When has a True Immortal personally set up a sect in our Spirit Luxuriant World? If True Immortal Lu doesn’t have the qualifications, will there be anyone else more qualified?”

The words were still ringing in their ears when Kou Chongxue’s figure disappeared.

A powerful sword qi cut through space as the cage Zhang Xuansheng created was shattered.

“Kou Chongxue, are you making things difficult for me on purpose? Are you planning to wage war with my Northern Sea Mystic Sect?” Zhang Xuansheng’s anger seemed to die in an instant as he regained his calm. Even so, his voice was frosty.

“True Immortal Zhang, is there a need to go so far? The threat our Spirit Luxuriant World is facing has yet to be dealt with. A True Immortal is enough to affect the overall situation and I hope you can take care of the bigger picture. I hope you’re not going to attack him because of your personal feelings...” Even though he was yelling, his hands didn’t slow down as his Hidden Frost Sword slashed across space. This time, it wasn’t directed at the cage that trapped Lu Wuzi. Instead, it went straight for Zhang Xuansheng.

“Hmph, this matter concerns my Northern Sea Mystic Sect. True Immortal Kou, aren’t you overreaching yourself?”

“Hehe... True Immortal Zhang must be joking. Since True Immortal Lu chose to establish his own faction, and even made an oath for it, he’s no longer related to your Northern Sea Mystic Sect. I’m not willing to become enemies with you but I hope you can consider the bigger picture for the sake of our Spirit Luxuriant World!” Kou Chongxue chuckled under his breath.

The sudden exchange between Kou Chongxue and Zhang Xuansheng caused a giant storm to sweep across the space above the heavenly screen, but their voices rang loud and clear in the minds of those present. It was as though they were intentionally speaking to the others.

Shifting his glance a little, Li Jidao’s gaze landed on Liu Jingsheng who was slightly closing in on him. However, he quickly turned back to face Kou Chongxue and Zhang Xuansheng before muttering softly. “What’s the matter? Are you afraid I’ll help Zhang Xuansheng?”

“How would I? My Yuanchen Sect is too far south. My eyesight is pretty bad and I can’t see the exchange clearly. I merely wanted to get a closer look...” Liu Jingsheng chuckled in response.

A True Immortal with bad eyesight? How the fuck was that even possible?

The alliance between Kou Chongxue and Liu Jingsheng was so obvious that the only thing they could do to make it stand out more was to carve their alliance onto their faces.

Li Jidao no longer bothered with Liu Jingsheng as he stared at Yang Taihe who wasn’t too far away. “Brother Yang, what do you think about Lu Wuzi’s actions of breaking off to form his own faction?”

Compared to Yang Taihe and Li Jidao, Kou Chongxue and Liu Jingsheng could only be considered juniors. When Li Jidao and Yang Taihe entered the Martial Void Realm, there wasn’t a need to mention Kou Chongxue. Even Liu Jingsheng’s name has not spread.

With a smile on his face, Yang Taihe muttered, “Lu Wuzi’s actions are truly despicable. Even if we don’t punish him severely today, we have to be careful of him in the future. However... True Immortal Kou is right. Our Spirit Luxuriant World’s foundations are weak and we need all the exports we can get, especially an expert at the Martial Void Realm. After all, we have to defend ourselves against our enemies hiding in the vast sea of stars...”

Li Jidao snorted once, and no longer spoke. He continued to watch the battle.

Liu Jingsheng smiled at Yang Taihe, not too surprised by his decision.

Since no one else was going to interfere, all their attention was placed on the exchange between the 2 True Immortals... Oh, wait. It was the 3 True Immortals now. The rest wanted to watch if either side would be able to force out the other’s trump cards. At the very least, they would be able to gain a better understanding of those fighting.

Lu Wuzi was part of the battle, but because he just ascended, his Void Origin wasn’t stable yet. As he drew a lot of power from the world earlier, he greatly exhausted himself. Even with Kou Chongxue’s help, he was unable to immediately break free.

Yang Taihe’s sigh suddenly rang through the air, “True Immortal Zhang truly deserves his reputation as the strongest expert in our Spirit Luxuriant World. It’s no wonder he was able to hold 2 True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World back himself.”

Kou Chongxue was actually being suppressed by Zhang Xuansheng!

It was one of the extremely rare times Shang Xia was seeing Kou Chongxue being suppressed by an expert in the same cultivation realm.

Even though Zhang Xuansheng was a second tier Martial Void Realm expert and was half a foot into the next level, one couldn’t forget that he still had to split off a portion of his strength to trap Lu Wuzi with his domain!

He was fighting 2 people alone, and even though Lu Wuzi was weak, he was still an expert in the Martial Void Realm!

Li Jidao’s cold voice rang in their ears the moment Yang Taihe spoke. “It isn’t surprising for True Immortal Zhang to be able to display such might. Brother Yang, why aren’t you talking about True Immortal Kou’s abilities?”

It couldn’t be denied that Zhang Xuansheng was the strongest expert in their Spirit Luxuriant World. He possessed tyrannical strength. However... For Kou Chongxue to be able to hold him off... The abilities Kou Chongxue had displayed brought shock to Yang Taihe and Li Jidao.

After entering the Martial Void Realm, they found it extremely difficult to improve.

Not to mention how the Azure Origin, Azure Spiritual, and Azure Ascension Worlds had poor foundations for them to grow stronger. Even their Spirit Luxuriant World had barely taken shape. All of them didn’t even know much about how to progress in the Martial Void Realm and could only feel their way about...

The World’s Will blessing that came from the world ascension played a massive role in their current cultivation levels.

From the time the world ascension was complete, all of them barely made any progress. However, they could tell that Kou Chongxue’s combat strength had increased by a ridiculous extent!

Even though Kou Chongxue was still a first tier Martial Void Realm expert, his improvement in a short 5 years was something Yang Taihe and Li Jidao only managed to achieve after close to a hundred years of accumulation.

Both Yang Taihe and Li Jidao felt complicated emotions battering against their hearts.

At the side, Liu Jingsheng sighed, “This might be the difference between Kou Chongxue, who isn’t shackled to an Elysium, and us!”

All 3 of them seemed to acknowledge their fate that very instant.

“Hey...” Not too long later, Liu Jingsheng sighed loudly. A frown appeared on his face as he mumbled in a strange voice, “... Where’s the little kid who came with True Immortal Kou?!”

No way Zhang Xuansheng deleted him while fighting the 2...

They had their guesses and ridiculed the absurdity of the situation inwardly, but their interests were piqued since Shang Xia was able to disappear from right under their noses.

Releasing their divine souls to look for the kid, it didn’t take long for them to find him.

“What the fuck? Another Martial Dipper Realm cultivator at the grand completion stage?!”

“This... Is that a Holy Artifact?!”

“What’s he doing?!”

BOOM!

Crack...

The domain cage that trapped Lu Wuzi that had been weakened by Kou Chongxue’s slash earlier blew apart!
