Chapter 1266: Seven Stars Seven Tribulation Formation

The Spirit Thistle World sent 2 of their 3 fourth tier True Immortals at once, and the only one left behind was an Elysium True Immortal.

Hua Yu first brought Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue along as they regrouped with the True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World.

The True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World had gathered together and they were taking turns to head out of the heavenly screen to fight back against the True Immortals of the powerful Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World.

Because the situation was too urgent, both sides didn’t exchange too many formalities when True Immortal Qu Guan described his battle plan.

There was no way to craft an intricate plan. The gist of it was that the high-level True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World would draw over as many experts as possible, and Shang Xia would be their hidden trump card to swoop in at the end with his tyrannical strength and deal a devastating blow to the enemy while they were caught off guard. He would also pave the way for the high-level True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World to retreat back into the Spirit Tinkle World.

After both sides understood the battle plan, the 2 fourth tier True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World cupped their fists at Shang Xia before rushing out of the heavenly screen.

Soon after, several other True Immortals of the second and third tier, including Kou Chongxue, rushed out to make the situation even more chaotic.

Before Kou Chongxue left earlier, Shang Xia shoved an Abyss Prison Emptiness Talisman and an Ice Ruins Talisman to him. One had a powerful defensive might while the other could change the condition of the battlefield and restrain the enemy. They would be pretty effective against non-high-level True Immortals.

After they left, Shang Xia quickly concealed his aura and used a rank five Concealment Talisman to hide in the void while using an Illusion Talisman to pretend to be a second tier True Immortal before rushing out of the heavenly screen.

As soon as he left the heavenly screen, powerful spatial fluctuations blasted against him in massive waves.

Acting like he was greatly flustered, Shang Xia stumbled about as he tried to find his footing while rushing after the other True Immortals who left earlier.

A vast curtain of starlight emerged suddenly, and Shang Xia could see bright flashes in the vast sea of stars that seemed like it was about to fly straight at them.

The next second, powerful energy of the stars descended and Shang Xia was no stranger to it. He experienced the might of the energy when he was in the prison beneath the Star Observatory, and he knew that it was a type of Seventh Order energy that contained horrifying might.

“Someone’s using Seventh Order energy?!” Shang Xia thought to himself, but he was still able to maintain a calm expression.

He was clear that the energy didn’t come from a Seventh Order expert. Instead, it was definitely produced by some sort of formation or outside assistance.

His first thought was the Star Origin Guards!

After killing Tian Moran and hearing information from many other sources, he was sure that the Star Origin Guards had suffered heavy losses. However, that didn’t mean that everyone wearing a Star Robe had been killed. From the power of the stars that had arrived, he could tell that the Star Origin Guards definitely had elite experts who were still in the fight.

Seeing how they were able to utilize Seventh Order energy, they had to have deployed their grand battle formation again...

“Seven Stars Seven Tribulation Formation... Tong Yutang, I didn’t think that you would actually be able to fully deploy it!” A tyrannical roar came from the void, and despite its twisted tone, everyone could hear it clearly.

“What is the Seven Star Seven Tribulation Formation?” Shang Xia frowned as he thought to himself. However, it was clear there was no one to clear his doubts at that point.

It was also then when a boundless stream of starlight filled the void above the heavenly screen of the Spirit Tinkle World. The mighty spatial fluctuations that were caused by the battles couldn’t affect it in the slightest as everything returned to its original calm. The region of chaos also started to clear up.

Shang Xia took the opportunity to look at his surroundings and quickly noticed that in the void around 10,000 or so miles away, 7 True Immortals were gathered under Tong Yutang’s lead and had taken up their positions. They were linked by the power of the stars and it looked as though they had deployed a battle formation while accepting the power of the stars that was coming from the depths of space.

Among them, Shang Xia recognized a good half of those a part of the formation. Other than Tong Yutang who was in the lead, there was Dou Jie who came to the Spirit Tinkle World with Shang Xia, He Yingrui, Liu Jiuzhen, and Xing Xingtian.

Shang Xia didn’t recognize the other 2, but he could guess that they should be the other True Immortals in the Star Origin Lord Manor who went to stop the Spirit Thistle World. That meant that one of them was the fourth Star Origin Guards Commander who had been succeeded by Zhuge Xiang in the past, and was a fifth tier True Immortal in the Returning to the Origin Realm!

Shang Xia didn’t know how the last one was, but his cultivation was probably comparable to the former Guards Commander. That would mean that he was also in the fifth tier!

All 7 of them seemed to have become a single entity. 2 fifth tier True Immortals, 2 fourth tier True Immortals, a third tier True Immortal, a second tier True Immortal, and a first tier True Immortal made up the battle formation. Not a single ordinary Star Origin Guard was present, and the 7 of them stood in the middle of the chaotic battle that was happening.

Shang Xia discovered the aura of 12 True Immortals around then, and every one of them was in the second tier of the Martial Void Realm or higher! They were situated in different positions, but Shang Xia could feel that the 3 closest True Immortals to the 7 of them emitted a powerful aura. Without a doubt, they were also fifth tier True Immortals who had reached the level of Returning to the Origin.

There were another 3 slightly weaker auras around the fifth tier True Immortals. They were most likely fourth tier True Immortals. With that, Shang Xia counted 6 high-level True Immortals while none of the rest were first tier True Immortals.

However... With the strength of the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World, they clearly had more high-level True Immortals. It seemed as though several had already died in the chaotic battle before.

𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

What was also scary was the fact that the True Immortals present probably weren’t the full strength of the Spirit Mammoth World, Spirit Abundance World, and their various Azure World allies.

It didn’t take long for Shang Xia to discover another group of True Immortals fighting outside the area protected by the Star Origin Guards. True Immortals of both sides were fighting, but it seemed as though that was the target the Spirit Thistle World was trying to save. From the looks of it, the situation wasn’t optimistic for those trying to protect the Spirit Tinkle World.

The frightening strength revealed by the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World was finally revealed to the various worlds, and their foundations were not to be underestimated!

When the Spirit Abundance World was forced back by the Spirit Luxuriant World, it seemed as though they hadn’t even used a tenth of their true strength.

... As Shang Xia and the rest were observing the battle with the opportunity they found, the main battlefield that consisted of the True Immortals of the Spirit Mammoth World, Spirit Abundance World, and Star Origin Dao Field, also caught sight of the group of True Immortals from the Spirit Thistle World and Spirit Luxuriant World who were heading over to provide support to their allies.

They quickly found their targets and engaged in battle, and Kou Chongxue was no exception. He followed the group of True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World to fight off their enemies!

With their addition to the battle, they slowly formed an encirclement around their targets.

Shang Xia didn’t dally either. He also made his move, but he suppressed his combat capabilities to that of a second tier True Immortal. He didn’t forget to continue to take note of the situation to look for the best moment to burst forth with his true strength and help the high-level True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World.

In the other massive battle that was second only to where the Seven Stars Seven Tribulation Formation was deployed, the fourth tier Elysium True Immortal of the Spirit Tinkle World was the most eye-catching existence.

With the assistance of the World’s Will, he was able to hold back a fifth tier True Immortal alone.

Other than the battle between the fourth tier Elysium True Immortal of the Spirit Tinkle World and the fifth tier True Immortal, there were True Immortals engaging in smaller scale battles in the distance. Shang Xia also discovered Yu Liantai and Hua Jianlou who tried to take him on in battle and catch him off guard to sneak attack him earlier.

Extending his divine soul further, Shang Xia could only discover the presence of 1 of the True Immortals the Spirit Thistle World was planning to help. The other was nowhere to be found, and it was extremely likely they had already fallen.

Whatever it was, the True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World and Kou Chongxue eventually joined the battle, greatly alleviating the pressure on the True Immortals on the side of the Spirit Tinkle World. They seemed to have turned the tides of battle, and it was also then that Shang Xia made his move.

His Stone Rod appeared in his hand as he released the most tyrannical move of his Six Harmony Rod Technique, Void Seal!

His Six Direction Qi poured into his domain and everything around his rapidly extending rod froze in place. Every True Immortal who hadn’t reached the fourth tier froze. The sudden suspension they felt didn’t just extend to their actions. Even their thoughts were stalled.

Everything might have happened in a split second, but in a battle among high-level True Immortals, that was more than enough for Shang Xia to do many things.

The True Immortal they were trying to save was rapidly brought out of the battlefield by him, and Shang Xia didn’t forget to swing his staff to send a few True Immortals who were suppressing the Elysium True Immortals of the Spirit Tinkle World who were also part of the battle flying.

His Void Seal was broken the next second, but the situation in the battlefield had already experienced a drastic change.
