Chapter 1181: Dealing With Other’s Problems

Perhaps he had been in slumber for too long, or he couldn’t avoid being assimilated by the World’s Will while he was trying to replace it... Whatever it was, he seemed a little sluggish when his will awakened.

“You... All of you... All of you deserve to die!”

His words seemed like the law and as soon as they left his lips, it brought about a strange transformation in the world around him.

Gao Qin’s Origin Opposing Talisman lost its effects immediately as the powerful World's Will descended to suppress her once again. Her combat abilities were greatly restrained and she couldn’t even maintain her strength at the second tier Martial Void Realm like before. In fact, she seemed like she would only be able to unleash the might of a Martial Dipper Realm expert soon.

Wen Juxiang was in an even worse spot. He was already injured and he used some sort of external method to forcefully increase his combat abilities earlier. Now that it had been wiped away, he suffered a massive backlash and he was barely able to maintain the strength of a True Immortal.

Of the 3 of them, Hua Jianlou had the lowest cultivation level, but the backlash he received was the weakest.

The Star Origin Lord’s clone might be able to control the Essence Ping World’s Will to a certain extent, but Hua Jianlou could also control the power of frost, one of the 2 energies contained in the Essence Ping World.

He could gain a small amount of recognition from the world and could mitigate a part of the suppression he felt.

From that point alone, one could tell that the Star Origin Lord had yet to assimilate with the World’s Will.

Hua Jianlou was not too affected, and he managed to maintain his abilities at the second tier of the Martial Void Realm. Surprisingly enough, the weakest of the 3 facing the Star Origin Lord clone became the strongest among them!

Since Hua Jianlou was able to barely hold on because of his ability to draw on the power of frost of the Essence Ping World, the power of the stars that was controlled by the Star Origin Lord was slowly eating away at it, and if things dragged out, he wouldn’t be able to stay that way for long.

Even though the 3 of them had been greatly suppressed by the Star Origin Lord’s clone, none of them chose to run. Instead, they continued to work together and carried on fighting!

The moment the Star Origin Lord’s will awakened, the clone temporarily surpassed the fifth tier of the Martial Void Realm. However, the energy contained in the clone started to leak because Hua Jianlou’s sword qi severed one of the clone’s arms, and it regressed back into the fourth tier. Also, because the clone had drawn on a large amount of energy through the Star Origin Lord Robe in order to control the World’s Will, he was barely able to maintain his cultivation at the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm.

Whatever it was, the Essence Ping World could be considered the territory of the Star Origin Lord and despite the heavy injuries it felt, it would continue to recover as the battle dragged on.

That was why Gao Qin, Wen Juxiang, and Hua Jianlou didn’t hesitate to go all in. They needed to make full use of their opportunity when the clone hadn’t restored his cultivation to beat it down as much as they could. In the best case scenario, they would be able to force it to fall back down into the third tier of the Martial Void Realm. Since the clone lost an arm, there was no way it could fight against the 3 of them easily.

What’s more... It wasn’t just facing 3 enemies... There were 4 of them!

“True Immortal Shang, this is your best shot at destroying the Star Origin Lord’s will!” Hua JIanlou suddenly recalled Shang Xia, whom they had completely ignored earlier after thinking about how he was a fool.

Gao Qin was still valiant in her attacks, but this time, Wen Juxiang actually took the spot of the main fighter against the Star Origin Lord’s clone.

The hammer-wielding Wen Juxiang poured all his energy into his weapon and smashed it into the clone’s domain.

Bang!

Facing the powerful strike, the clone was finally unable to sustain his cultivation at the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm and fell back into the third tier.

Gao Qin, who was rapidly closing in after Wen Juxiang’s heavy blow, was stopped by a curtain of starlight the clone summoned at the very last second.

Hua Jianlou, who was controlling a sword qi made from the power of frost of the world, might be slightly weakened due to the presence of the power of the stars, but he was still threatening enough to deal a decisive blow if it landed.

The stiff expression on the Star Origin Lord’s clone also transformed slightly facing the intense pressure from all of them. Unfortunately, he was limited by the ability of his clone and was unable to unleash his full might.

The Star Origin Lord was getting more and more enraged as the battle progressed. If not for the fact that the descent of his will had been stalled out by them earlier, he would have long been able to project a portion of his strength into it and reach the peak of the Martial Void Realm. He might even be able to step into the Seventh Order if everything went smoothly when he utilized the Star Origin Lord robe.

If that happened, he would be able to free himself of the restrictions of the Essence Ping World and deal with most troubles. After all, a Seventh Order clone could do a lot...

Who would have thought that his amazing plan would be interrupted by some random True Immortals who managed to force their way into the Essence Ping World? Not only was he unable to regain the power of the Seventh Order, he was unable to maintain his cultivation as a high-level True Immortal!

Fortunately for him, he was still in the Essence Ping World, and his clone held the home ground advantage when fighting in the region.

When he was about to free up a portion of his energy to deal with Hua Jianlou’s sword qi, a powerful seal soared through the void and crashed into him, slowing down his flow of inner qi once again.

Shang Xia, who was the furthest away from the battlefield at the moment, made his move again. He didn’t change up the way he was helping as he simply unleashed the True Space Restriction Palm again.

If he used it any other time, it might not be useful in a battle of such a scale, but the Star Origin Lord’s clone was pushed to his limit at the moment and had to draw on more energy to deal with Hua Jianlou. With the flow of his inner qi stagnating all of a sudden, the Star Origin Lord’s clone had no choice but to use the Star Origin Lord Robe to summon another curtain of starlight to stop the incoming sword qi.

Pffft!

Hua Jianlou’s sword qi might not have injured the Star Origin Lord’s clone, but it left a large tear in the robe.

As the clone took several steps back in retreat, his expression fluctuated unsteadily. At the same time, along with the damage to the Star Origin Lord Robe, the domain he created was no longer as complete as before.

After the single exchange between them, Wen Juxiang was unable to maintain his cultivation and it finally slipped into the Martial Dipper Realm.

Even though the domain was no longer as perfect as before, Gao Qin still found it difficult to push forward without Wen Juxiang’s assistance.

Hua Jianlou might have damaged the Star Origin Lord Robe, but the power of frost he could draw upon was also exhausted and the aura around him quickly dropped back to the first tier of the Martial Void Realm.

Gao Qin and Hua Jianlou grabbed Wen Juxiang and backed off, and they flew towards where Shang Xia was.

At the same time, even though the clone’s aura was that of a third tier True Immortal, it seemed to have fallen into a sorry state with the Star Origin Lord Robe being damaged. There was a feeling that the clone’s cultivation would fall even further with a single touch.

Watching Hua Jianlou and the others retreat, the clone didn’t go in for the kill due to its unstable foundations. However, after thinking for a moment, the clone seemed to have made up his mind, and a mighty roar left his lips. “Expel!”

Gao Qin, and the others, who were retreating to Shang Xia’s position, quickly prepared to deal with whatever was coming as they quickly raised their guards.

The void behind them started to crumble as a spatial tunnel that led out of the Essence Ping World appeared. The World’s Will also started to stir as a boundless pressure descended to try to push those exhausted True Immortals into the spatial tunnel to chase them away.
