Chapter 1101: GET HELP

After releasing the strike, everything around turned into a region of chaos.

Even so, that wasn’t enough to kill a second tier True Immortal. Powerful orange flames scattered everywhere, and even though a good portion was swallowed by the spatial cracks and destroyed by chaotic streams, there were still some of them who emerged and flew into the depths of space.

True Immortal Zhu was clear on Yan Wujiu’s skills and techniques. His figure started to flicker about in space as he appeared to stop the most concentrated streaks of flames. He also released his Void Origin and quickly destroyed several flame streaks. He didn’t forget to toss his divine weapon out to shatter a few more.

It was clear that True Immortal Zhu wouldn’t be able to get rid of the escaping flames by himself, but even so, Shang Xia didn’t seem to be moving about.

In fact, he seemed to be allowing them to escape!

True Immortal Zhu’s expression sank and he growled, “Every single strand of flame contains Yan Wujiu’s Void Origin and a trace of his soul. He has a secret survival art that will allow him to restore himself if enough Void Origin and portions of his soul gather. Other than losing a portion of his memories, he will be able to restore his cultivation given enough time.”

Shang Xia and True Immortal Zhu communicated through voice transmission, and everything happened in an instant.

Even Shang Xia was taken aback by such an amazing survival art. However, he wasn’t afraid of Yan Wujiu’s revival. Instead, he was surprised by the existence of the secret art itself. He couldn’t help but ask, “Does the Spirit Faith World possess such high-level inheritances?”

He might be asking the question, but Shang Xia no longer wasted time. He released his domain and destroyed a few strands of flames.

However, he didn’t react as quickly and still managed to let a few strands escape.

“Not good… Looks like the news of us working together to try to kill him will be exposed. Once the True Immortals of the Native Faction learn of it, they will definitely be on guard!” True Immortal Zhu looked at Shang Xia who maintained a helpless smile and he growled, “What a great plan!”

Shang Xia didn’t seem to hear what he said, and he quickly changed the topic. “How long will he need to obtain his original combat abilities?”

True Immortal Zhu was annoyed, but he knew that under such circumstances, he wouldn’t be able to fall out with Shang Xia regardless. Suppressing his annoyance, he growled, “He needs at least several years to do so…”

Shang Xia heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s alright then. At the very least, he doesn’t have the qualifications to join the upcoming battle. The Native Faction lost another expert at the second tier of the Martial Void Realm!”

Now that the Spirit Faith World lost another second tier True Immortal, there was only a fourth tier True Immortal, a third tier True Immortal, and 4 first tier True Immortals.

On the other hand, the experts of the Azure Intellect World and Azure Roaming World seemed to be in a much better situation than before. After losing Yu Long, a first tier True Immortal, they still had 8 True Immortals left. 1 of them was in the third tier, and 2 in the second tier. They also had 5 more first tier True Immortals.

Of course, even so, the Ascendant Faction couldn’t be said to have the upper hand. The existence of Yan Huayi was enough to form a massive rift in their collective strength. Even though the Ascendant Faction held the numerical advantage, Yan Huayi made up for the difference, and more.

Because of that, the Azure Worlds decided to draw a third party into the conflict…

Shang Xia and True Immortal Zhu turned around abruptly during their discussion. They suddenly discovered a familiar aura entering their range of detection. However, this person seemed a little hesitant to approach…

Shang Xia chuckled instantly. “Senior Huang, it’s me! There’s no need to be so cautious!”

A moment later, a streak of light approached. After the glow scattered, Huang Jinghan stared at True Immortal Zhu for some time before turning to look at Shang Xia. Without waiting for Shang Xia’s explanation, he spoke first, “I noticed a few strands of strange flames when I was coming over. I destroyed them all.”

Shang Xia chuckled hoarsely, and even True Immortal Zhu felt a lot more relaxed…

Huang Jinghan wasn’t done as he continued, “However, some of them still managed to escape… At least 3 strands ran to the void.”

Shang Xia naturally didn’t mind. Instead, True Immortal Zhu’s expression sank again.

“Senior Huang, let me make the introductions. True Immortal Zhu is a member of the Ascendant Faction of the Azure Roaming World of the Three Worlds.” Shang Xia laughed eventually.

Glancing at True Immortal Zhu, Huang Jinghan was no stranger to the man. After all, they have interacted a lot recently. However, he heard something strange about Shang Xia’s introduction. “Three Worlds? Azure Roaming World? Ascendant Faction?”

Shang Xia gave a quick introduction before talking about the power structure of the Ascendant Faction Yun Hu represented. He also spoke about the alliance he agreed to and to split the Spirit Faith World with the Azure Intellect World and Azure Roaming World when it was all done.

After hearing about the relationship between the Three Worlds, Huang Jinghan was also surprised. He gasped, “I didn’t think that the worlds would be related in such a way! It’s such an amazement…”

From the time the Spirit Luxuriant World came into existence, they heard the stories of many other worlds. Most of them were blatant conquest and destruction before absorbing the shattered remains to strengthen themselves. Even the Spirit Luxuriant World was created from the fusion of 2 Azure Worlds. They also devoured the Manyu Continent and the Azure Flame World as the foundation of their world.

True Immortal Zhu interrupted suddenly, “Fellow cultivators, Lan Zhengfeng will be coming anytime now. If your Spirit Luxuriant World wishes to join the battle, you better start preparing. At the very least, the True Immortals of our world should be coming over soon.”

Huang Jinghan didn’t seem to take his comments seriously and he simply continued to address Shang Xia. “Do you really think there is a need for us to join this conflict? The other side has a fourth tier True Immortal! That’s an existence who reached the level of Dao Harmony! He’s an Elysium True Immortal to boot! You should understand what that means for the defense of a world… In fact, you should be even clearer than me on the matter!”

Before Shang Xia could reply, True Immortal Zhu’s expression changed. “Fellow cultivators, what’s the meaning of this?! Are you going back on your word?”

Shang Xia gestured for True Immortal Zhu to calm down before laughing softly, “Senior, relax. True Immortal Yun Hu has already promised that he will be responsible for holding their four tier Elysium True Immortal back. Moreover, I fought Lan Zhengfeng twice now and I believe that even if I can’t defeat him, it won’t be difficult to hold him back for some time.”

Huang Jinghan shot Shang Xia a serious gaze and made sure he wasn’t joking before revealing a shocked expression.

True Immortal Zhu quickly added at the side, “What’s the matter now? Fellow cultivator Huang, are you still doubting the strength of our experts?”

Huang Jinghan continued to ignore the other party and he spoke to Shang Xia in a serious tone, “I will head back to our Spirit Luxuriant World right now and relay your intentions to the other True Immortals. However, whether or not we take part in the battle, everyone will have to come to an agreement.”

Shang Xia chuckled in response, “You just need to inform Patriarch Kou!”

Huang Jinghan was slightly taken aback before shaking his head while chuckling bitterly. Soon after, he turned to head back to the Star Beast Nest.

The Spirit Luxuriant World might possess 9 True Immortals, but those who can take part in a battle like that were Kou Chongxue, Shang Xia, Huang Jinghan, and Lu Wuzi. Moreover, Lu Wuzi could be considered half a True Immortal at best when it came to fights.

All the strength they could deploy would only be comparable to the Azure Roaming World…

Huang Jinghan actually wanted to remind Shang Xia that the number of high-level experts that could take part in the battle wasn’t exactly high and that the Ascendant Faction might be holding high hopes for the Spirit Luxuriant World because they didn’t have a good gauge on their strength.

The moment the experts on their side entered the fray and the 4 deployable True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World descended, they might not be able to turn the situation around! They might have to return home empty handed!

Even so, Shang Xia’s response also reminded Huang Jinghan that decisions of the Spirit Luxuriant World were actually only in the hands of 2 people… Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue!

After all, Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia belonged to the same faction and could leave the Spirit Luxuriant World at any time! They were also both the second tier True Immortals among the free True Immortals…

Watching Huang Jinghan leave, Shang Xia turned to True Immortal Zhu and smiled, “True Immortal Zhu, have you thought of how to deal with Lan Zhengfeng?”

After seriously thinking about it for a moment, True Immortal Zhu answered, “Of course we have to play it by ear! However, if the True Immortals of your world arrive in time, this might be the best chance for us to kill him!”

“Rather than waiting here passively, I am more willing to head out to fight him!” Shang Xia cackled suddenly.

With a slight change in expression, True Immortal Zhu yelped, “What the hell are you planning to do?!”

…

A ray of light shot in the direction of the Spirit Faith World and the person rushing through space didn’t seem to care about the consumption of his inner qi as he pushed himself to his limit. He would turn back from time, as though afraid someone would catch up.

There was indeed another streak of light slightly more than 1000 miles behind him…

The True Immortal in pursuit was calm, and he didn’t seem to be in a rush at all. However, he wasn’t slow as he continuously closed in on his target.

Both streaks of light tore through space and eventually, the distance between them shortened to less than 1000 miles…

At that distance, the person in pursuit could threaten his target.

With no choice, the person in front had to continue running while paying attention to any threats that might come from behind.

If both sides continued that way, the person running would be intercepted after several hours.

Fortunately, the person running away seemed to be extremely lucky. When he was about to exhaust his energy, a flash of light appeared in the distance and it started to rapidly expand. It was as though a meteor was headed straight for him.

Such a strange flying method belonged to a certain individual, and the fleeing True Immortal screamed in joy, “True Immortal Lan, hurry, save me!”
