Chapter 1110: Assemble!

“Looks like we didn’t come at such a good time…” Kou Chongxue chuckled bitterly at Shang Xia.

“We were too careless… I didn’t think that a fourth tier Elysium True Immortal would be so terrifying!” Shang Xia also sighed regretfully.

If they had come a little later, or if they hid a little further to watch the battle, the ending would have been a little more climatic.

However, from what they were seeing, the Ascendant Faction had sent 3 True Immortals to hold off Yan Huayi, but even if they gave it their all, they wouldn’t be able to do shit against him!

The 9 western continents of the Spirit Faith World might have split off from the world, but they were still within Yan Huayi’s range of influence. Even the Azure Intellect World and Azure Roaming World were no different.

No matter which faction they were from, no one could relax as the situation was just too volatile.

If they continued to fight, even if the members of the Native Faction won, they would achieve a miserable victory. The Three Worlds might even be leveled because of the intense battles that would take place after the True Immortals on both sides went all out.

As such, when Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue showed up, both sides found a reason to stop fighting.

Shang Xia could only chuckle helplessly, “Fortunately… We didn’t come too late!”

Seeing the 2 of them, True Immortal Zhu glanced at Yun Hu who had been seriously injured by Yan Huayi. He also saw Yun Hu staring back at him. He realized what he had to do and he quickly addressed Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue. “It’s great that you’re here! I wonder when the experts from your Spirit Luxuriant World will be coming? Once we join forces, we’ll be able to slay Yan Huayi and split the Spirit Faith World among ourselves!”

Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia exchanged a look. They realized that things would get difficult.

It was then that Yan Huayi also made his move.

“Hmph, this old man wants to see how strong the helpers your Ascendant Faction found are!” Yan Huayi reappeared above Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue, and his brush swung downwards. It was as though a massive scroll burst forth to try to suppress them.

That wasn’t all. Along with Yan Huayi’s appearance, the Spirit Faith World’s Will also appeared to suppress Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue.

Even though their appearance made Yan Huayi feel a sense of unease, he was still 2 tiers higher than them. He was also fighting in his homeland, and he was confident he could suppress the opponents before him.

As soon as Yan Huayi made his move, True Immortal Zhu’s eyelids twitched slightly. However, he didn’t move to help them. Instead, he looked as though he was greatly exhausted and simply yelled with exasperation, “Be careful!”

It was Shang Xia’s second encounter with a fourth tier True Immortal, but this time, he was fighting in the other party’s territory! His enemy was a lot stronger than the one he faced before!

Shang Xia’s first instinct was to pour his inner qi into his Stone Rod before releasing his domain. He faced Yan Huayi directly!

Even though Shang Xia had absolute confidence in his abilities, he wouldn’t be crazy enough to think that he would be able to defeat a fourth tier Elysium True Immortal in his home world.

The only reason he chose to clash directly with his opponent was because he wasn’t fighting alone! Kou Chongxue was right behind him!

Kou Chongxue reacted a little slower than Shang Xia, and for someone who was an assassin who was also an excellent swordsman, his failure to react immediately was slightly embarrassing. However, his slower response could be attributed to the suppression of the World’s Will.

Both sides released their domains and smashed it into each other without any fanfare. Unsurprisingly, Shang Xia was completely suppressed. He seemed to be forcefully thrown into the scroll that was Yan Huayi’s canvas.

However, the brush that he was swinging around was stopped by Shang Xia’s Stone Rod. A giant botch seemed to be left on the scroll because of the short pause, and the painting Yan Huayi was making in the void seemed to be ruined.

A powerful sword qi emerged the next moment. Even though it wasn’t as powerful as the power contained in Shang Xia’s Stone Rod, it appeared at the perfect time and tore through Yan Huayi’s canvas. As his brush had been stopped by Shang Xia earlier, he was unable to suppress them any longer.

Taking the chance, Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue broke out of Yan Huayi’s domain and stood in space across from him.

In the short exchange, both sides gained a good understanding of each other’s strength.

Even if they worked together, Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue wouldn’t be a match for Yan Huayi who had the blessing of his World’s Will, but at the same time, there was no way for Yan Huayi to defeat them!

Yan Huayi’s expression sank and he glared at Shang Xia. He growled, “Not only are you able to hide your presence from the World’s Will… Can you even avoid the suppression it brings?”

Shang Xia chuckled in response, “That’s not exactly right. I can only reduce the suppression to its lowest level…”

“Heh, so what! Just the 2 of them and the 3 useless trash from the Ascendant Faction… What do you think you can do to me?” Yan Huayi snorted.

Shang Xia laughed in response and turned to look at Kou Chongxue. Seeing the patriarch nod slightly, he responded, “Oh? What if the 2 of us work with True Immortal Zhu to stop you above the heavenly screen while the others head over to destroy your Heavenly Feather Elysium? What can you do then?”

Yan Huayi’s expression changed the next moment. Earlier, he was distracted by the attacks launched by True Immortal Zhu and the others and lost his chance to kill Yun Hu.

With Shang Xia bringing up his weakness once again, he felt endless rage. However, he still maintained his composure as he growled, “You’re assuming that the 3 of you will be enough to hold me back!”

Yan Huayi was a fourth tier Elysium True Immortal, and his fate was tied to his Elysium. It was a shame that the other True Immortals of the Heavenly Feather Elysium were dead. If there was even one of them left, he wouldn’t have been placed in such a sorry situation!

Looking at it now, the death of Yan Wujiu and Luan Wuji seemed to have been meticulously planned out! There was no question about it. The other side had long since been plotting against him!

Shang Xia snorted lightly, “Whether or not we can hold you back… Won’t we know once we try it?”

As soon as he spoke, he attacked!

Even though he only developed 2 moves in his Six Harmony Rod Technique, he was able to use them in many different ways. There were many auxiliary techniques that made up the main moves, for example in his second move, Starry Disorder. It consisted of many different strikes that unleashed the power of his various martial intents, and the moves were so unpredictable that it caught his enemies off guard.

One had to know that the power one’s martial intent contained wasn’t fixed. It would grow stronger with their increasing cultivation level.

Like the Chaos Essence Lightning Palm Shang Xia first developed, if he used it currently, it could still pose a threat to True Immortals of the same level.

Shang Xia’s plan was to fuse his martial intents into one before unleashing the new move with his inner qi. If he succeeded, not only would the power it contained far surpass his expectations, it would probably be a powerful move that could break through most defenses!

Yan Huayi might not be afraid of facing Shang Xia and the others, but after the short exchange earlier, he knew that he couldn’t underestimate the foreign True Immortal he was facing. The brush in his hand swept forth and his inner qi poured out from the tip of his brush in an attempt to suppress Shang Xia.

As they clashed, Yan Huayi suddenly discovered that he was unable to seal off the other party’s energy.

It wasn’t because of how strong Shang Xia was. Instead, the energy he was using was changing too rapidly such that Yan Huayi couldn’t find a proper way to seal it off.

Of course, that was also because Yan Huayi hadn’t reached a level where he possessed absolute dominance. If he was strong enough, no matter how much Shang Xia’s inner qi transformed, he would be able to deal with it with pure brute force.

In his current state, Yan Huayi’s defenses might not be broken by Shang Xia’s continuously changing strike, but he was still pretty flustered.

Kou Chongxue, who was used to fighting alongside Shang Xia, managed to catch a good opportunity to rush out from beside him. The Hidden Frost Sword carved out a gap in Yan Huayi’s domain.

With a chill running through his heart, Yan Huayi couldn’t bother with Shang Xia any longer. He had to retreat and he pulled away from the heavenly screen slightly.

It was then that True Immortal Zhu and his Lightning Bell arrived.

In the void above the heavenly screen, Kou Chongxue might be suppressed by the World’s Will, but the feeling was much less intense than if he were to fight within the Spirit Faith World. Moreover, the Spirit Faith World was experiencing conflicts within itself and the World’s Will had been greatly weakened.

Even though Kou Chongxue’s combat prowess was slightly affected, with his sudden instantaneous burst, he didn’t seem inferior to True Immortal Zhu in the slightest.

With Shang Xia, Kou Chongxue, and True Immortal Zhu joining hands, they managed to harass Yan Huayi outside the heavenly screen. Of course, Shang Xia took on the role of the main attacker as Kou Chongxue and True Immortal Zhu helped from the side. They might not be able to defeat Yan Huayi, but they were able to hold the initiative for the time being.

Of course, in a battle of such a level, holding him back for the time being was more than enough.

Seeing as the 3 second tier True Immortals were able to fight Yan Huayi to a certain degree, Hong Miao and True Immortal Luo immediately descended into the world. There was no need to question where they went. Without a doubt, their target was the Heavenly Feather Elysium!

Yan Huayi released an enraged roar, but he knew that taking down the 3 opponents he was facing wasn’t something he could do in a short amount of time.

Helpless, the strongest expert of the Spirit Faith World had no other choice but to take on a few blows to force his way back into the Spirit Faith World.

True Immortal Zhu wanted to give chase, but Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue didn’t possess the same idea. They hesitated slightly, and chose not to head into the world. True Immortal Zhu could only look at them with an expression of worry.

Shang Xia chuckled when he noticed True Immortal Zhu’s reaction. “Relax. The 2 of them aren’t stupid. They won’t place themselves in danger.”

As soon as he spoke, the heavenly screen opened again and they returned.

The next moment, True Immortal Zhu understood their real intentions. Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue’s real goal wasn’t to destroy the Heavenly Feather Elysium. It wasn’t to kill Yan Huayi either. They just wanted to force him to retreat.

True Immortal Zhu opened his mouth slightly, and he seemed to want to say something. However, Kou Chongxue coughed softly and asked, “Why don’t we see Lan Zhengfeng and Yun Hu?”

True Immortal Zhu was greatly taken aback, but Shang Xia chuckled softly in response, “They suffered heavy injuries… They probably ran back to their sects to recover.”

Gasping softly, True Immortal Zhu eventually nodded before cupping his fists at Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue. Turning around, he nodded at True Immortal Luo before they descended below the heavenly screen.

Hong Miao was the only one left and he planned to head over to the 9 western continents of the Spirit Faith World. Just as he was about to leave, he caught a faint glimpse of a massive fleet of Star Ships slowly making their way over to the Spirit Faith World.
