Chapter 1116: Splitting the Spirit Faith World!

“They won’t fall for it!”

In the Heavenly Feather Elysium, Lan Zhengfeng who hadn’t fully recovered, didn’t return to the Fengyuan Sect. Instead, he appeared beside Yan Huayi.

Yan Huayi glanced at him, and there was a look of barely concealed anger in them. He growled in a rather sharp voice, “No. As long as they don’t respond, that doesn’t mean that they’re rejecting the cooperation.”

“Is there any difference?” Lan Zhengfeng sighed.

“None of them wishes to be used by others. They need me to make the first move, and they also need to see an opportunity within before they are willing to join us.” Yan Huayi explained.

Looking at his old friend, Lan Zhengfeng couldn’t help but mumble softly while maintaining an expressionless face, “The Spirit Luxuriant World might have only sent 4 True Immortals, with only 2 second tier True Immortals among them, shocking all of us, but those 2 aren’t going to be easy to deal with. If Zhu Yingluo Doesn’t make a move, you might not be able to take them down easily!”

Staring at Lan Zhengfeng, Yan Huayi couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have any strength left?”

In a cold voice, Lan Zhengfeng growled, “Are you sure you’re planning to sacrifice the only Free True Immortal of the Spirit Faith World?”

Yan Huayi’s gaze froze for a second, and he seemed to understand the extent of Lan Zhengfeng’s injuries. He could only shake his head regretfully. “Looks like we have no other way. We can only gather the experts of our world to the borders of the Wu, Shen, and You Continents to weaken the cultivators of the Spirit Luxuriant World the best we can and delay their progress in gaining control of the continents.”

Lan Zhengfeng couldn’t help but remind him, “Before the 9 continents separated back then, a batch of our experts were plotted against by the members of the Ascendant Faction and were killed. Those we sent over were also trapped there and the Guyuan Sect’s internal conflict along with the foreign invasion greatly exhausted our strength. We lost a lot of cultivators, and if this keeps up, those smaller factions might form a grudge against us.”

“Brother Lan, do you think that after the 9 continents are taken away along with the 4 continents controlled by the Guyuan Sect, we still have the ability to nurture so many cultivators?” Yan Huayi growled. He no longer hid his killing intent.

“You…” Lan Zhengfeng rose to his feet suddenly only to be met with Yan Huayi’s passive stare.

After a short second, Lan Zhengfeng sighed and avoided Yan Huayi’s gaze. He continued, “True Immortal Zeng and True Immortal Gu also seem to have many misgivings.”

Yan Huayi added in a low voice, “Relax. The 4 great sects are the only power our world has left now. I won’t touch them easily. Moreover, even if I wish to, would all of you really allow me to do so?”

“I didn’t think that things would go this far!” Lan Zhengfeng sighed even louder this time.

In response, Yan Huayi’s frosty voice rang through the air again. “From the looks of it, Brother Lan, you still haven't fully understood the position we’re in!”

A deep frown formed on Lan Zhengfeng’s face. “What do you mean?”

“Our Spirit Faith World had 22 continents in the past. Now, more than 13 of them would be taken away. Even though a bunch of them have almost no value and are crippled continents, do you think the 9 remaining continents are able to sustain us as a Spirit World? If a Spirit World falls back down to an Azure World, do you think it can support the existence of 4 Elysiums?”

Lan Zhengfeng’s frown grew deeper and he started to mutter to himself. “The 9 continents in the eastern region contain the greatest amount of world origin and essence of our world. They are massive, and those continents span more than 10,000 miles. Even if we have to break them in half, we will still possess 18 continents and maintain our status as a Spirit World.”

“Lan Zhengfeng!” Yan Huayi interrupted his calculations and sighed with disappointment, “You’re betting the future of our world on the possibility that we will be able to break up those continents and maintain our status! If luck is really as useful as you think, would the Spirit Emptiness World be conquered by us?”

All of a sudden, a powerful rumble came from beneath the earth as though it was trying to agree with Yan Huayi.

Lan Zhengfeng couldn’t help but to raise his head to stare at Yan Huayi.

Yan Huayi’s expression also changed. “No… It’s not possible! How can it happen so quickly?”

…

After the formation of the void storm, the Azure Worlds had been hastening their speed of separation. They were also going all out when devouring their gains.

The moment the 9 continents broke off back then, the void storm transformed into a void wall while the Azure Worlds split the continents among themselves. The continents slowly entered their heavenly screen.

As for the Elysium Gates that connected those worlds, they were assimilated into their worlds and the energy it contained returned.

Due to being used as Elysium Gates for a long time, the Elysiums failed to maintain much energy. They were forcefully held up by their Elysium True Immortals now that they had split off.

Under such circumstances, those Elysium True Immortals were unable to care about anything else.

As the Azure Worlds spurred on the growth of their world with their newfound gains, they would definitely experience a massive blessing from the World’s Will. It didn’t matter if they would ascend, but they would gain a whole bunch of benefits and the blessing that came when it happened would greatly alleviate the burden of the Elysium True Immortals.

Along with the assimilation of the continents, the Azure Worlds also devoured the world essence they contained. The portion of the Spirit Faith World’s Will that was contained in them was slowly sucked dry by the Azure Worlds’ Will.

When the Ascendant Faction split off, many people might have discovered their goal. However, not many were willing to believe they would succeed as they remained delusional. Only after the battle between the True Immortals reached a stalemate back then did they understand that the continents were really lost.

Of course, absorbing so many continents wasn’t something that could be done quickly. They were still hovering around the sea of stars outside the Spirit Faith World’s heavenly screen.

The presence of the void wall separated the continents from the Spirit Faith World, but they would only be considered to have fully separated only after the World’s Will contained in them had been fully devoured.

The Spirit Faith World’s Will was greatly damaged due to the continents breaking off. In the end, the heaven and earth qi contained in the Spirit Faith World took a huge dip. Because of the damage it suffered, the World’s Will fluctuated wildly and it affected everyone’s cultivation. The higher one’s realm was, the greater the backlash they felt!

When the damage to the World’s Will reached a certain extent, the True Immortals started spitting out mouthfuls of blood and they could feel their Void Origin weakening considerably.

Members of the Native Faction weren’t the only ones who felt the backlash. Even those from the Ascendant Faction were affected as their origin souls were branded in the Spirit Faith World.

To put it into perspective, an Elysium allowed a world to better regulate its flow of energy while also providing massive protection. However, if they wanted to be truly critical, an Elysium was merely a patch job used to seal up weaknesses of a world. They couldn’t break off even if they wanted to.

Also… The Azure Worlds not only had to devour the continents. They had to pull themselves at least 300,000 miles away from the Spirit Faith World in order to avoid being threatened by Yan Huayi, the fourth tier True Immortal.

The speed at which they were pulling away was shockingly fast. At the very least, it was faster than what Shang Xia expected.

“From the looks of it, the True Immortals are going all out in order to distance themselves…” Shang Xia couldn’t help but sigh as he watched everything from above the heavenly screen.

“Is there anything strange about that?” Kou Chongxue snorted. “Didn’t I remind you to hasten our progress? They’re obviously doing the same thing. Right, did you forget what I told you to do?”

Shang Xia chuckled in response, “How could I? However, there are some things I need to see for myself in order to believe they are really happening.”

Kou Chongxue broke out with soft laughter. “Is this like how you went to ask True Immortal Zhu about the secrets of how the cultivators of the other worlds wouldn’t be suppressed by the Spirit Faith World’s Will? Did you forget about the fusion of our Azure Origin World with the Azure Spiritual World? We were also no longer affected by each other’s World’s Will when it happened.”

Shang Xia shook his head slowly in response. “That’s different. Our worlds took dozens of years to fuse, but during that time, cultivators from both sides were unable to freely enter the other world.”

“Are you forgetting about the battlefield between the two worlds?” Kou Chongxue reminded.

Slightly taken aback, Shang Xia sighed after thinking about the continents they were targeting. “I just… I just wanted there to be fewer deaths here.”

Kou Chongxue glanced at the Wu, Mo, Shen, and You Continents below and continued, “I don’t know if you will be able to come up with something that causes fewer people to die, but I know for a fact that if we don’t take action now, we’re might be the ones dying soon.”

Shang Xia observed the situation around the Spirit Faith World and could see that they were about to launch a massive offensive and made some calculations silently. He eventually mumbled, “Seems like we need to give up on a continent in the end. We have no choice. Let’s go!”

Kou Chongxue shot Huang Jinghan a glance as the 2 of them drew their divine weapons in unison.

“We’re taking the entire landmass this time! Remember, we’re not splitting it up here!” Shang Xia couldn’t help but remind.

At the borders of the Niu, Shen, and You Continents of the Spirit Faith World, the cultivators of the Spirit Luxuriant World who had arrived en masse with their Star Ships, fled from battle without warning.

There were even some who were afraid they would run too slow as they boarded their Star Ships immediately to drive it back to their retreat point.

The Spirit Luxuriant World moved too quickly and caught everyone off guard. For fear of it being a trap, the experts of the Spirit Faith World didn’t dare to enter too deep.

The next second the cultivators of the Spirit Faith World who were hesitating felt the skies above them turning dark.

When they raised their heads to look, they saw a narrow but long tear ripping through their heavenly screen, revealing the vast sea of stars.

The scene where the 9 western continents broke off from the Spirit Faith World seemed to be on replay!
