Chapter 1454: We Have No Choice

It was the first time Shang Xia had seen a martial intent from an expert in the Martial Void Realm, and it just so happened that 2 of them were unleashed at the same time.

When he felt the might contained in the martial intents, he was sure of something. The Seventh Order energy that was used by several factions using external help might not be able to contend against either of the martial intents.

Simply put, be it the Elysium Grand Formation, the Star Ship battle formation, or even some weaker combined battle formations that could drive Seventh Order energy, didn’t contain the essence of Martial Void Realm. They couldn’t stand up to a mighty martial intent!

Both martial intents contained their special traits, and when the first was unleashed, it seemed to be a great threat to other people’s divine souls. Even when Shang Xia was 3 continents away, he still felt a little dizzy.

The second martial intent contained the ability to shatter reality. The tornado that contained fragmented space was far scarier than the chaotic streams.

Even though Shang Xia only observed the martial intent, he had a feeling he was about to be swept through it and destroyed.

A faint premonition appeared in his heart. Even though martial intents of True Immortals were mostly different, they contained one similarity. It seemed to target the soul and possessed tremendous lethality.

After realizing that point, he couldn’t help but think back to his martial intent in the Triple Command Realm, the Divine Killing Spear!

The Divine Killing Spear was targeted at the soul, but it was a rank three martial intent at the end of the day. It was limited in its ability to attack the divine soul.

Even at Shang Xia’s current realm, he would only be able to cause some slight confusion when attacking an expert of the same level. It didn’t actually live up to its name.

If the opponent he was facing trained their soul with some secret art, he might not even be able to stun them for a moment. Exterminating their soul was naturally out of the question.

However, that didn’t mean that it was completely useless. In a battle at his level, being slightly distracted was enough for the battle to come to an end.

Shang Xia felt that even though his Divine Killing Spear wasn’t anything to go off about, it might be a way for him to gain inspiration to comprehend his sixth martial intent.

For such powerful martial intents to be released, Shang Xia felt that if there wasn’t anyone defending against it, the main city of the Qi Dynasty would probably have been razed to the ground.

Shang Xia might still be quite far away, but he was sure both emperors had injured the other party.

The only problem was that everything happened in the territory of the Qi Dynasty and despite their preparations, their losses were mounting. The shattered spatial barrier around their Dao Field was a clear indication.

Even though Shang Xia could feel the leaking world origin weakening as the experts of the Qi Dynasty were trying their best to plug up the hole, he could still feel a pure stream of energy flowing into the World Origin Source, replenishing the energy it contained.

He wondered if the Qi Dynasty Emperor was feeling extreme heartache from the loss, but he also knew that the Chen Dynasty Emperor would be feeling a headache coming.

Looking at the amount of energy stored in the Qi Dynasty Dao Field, anyone would be able to tell that it was supposed to be used for the Qi Dynasty Emperor’s breakthrough. For them to lose so much at once, his advancement would definitely be affected.

As for the Chen Dynasty Emperor, he might already possess sufficient accumulations and might not require so much world origin, but he wanted to weaken the karmic ties he had with his world even further.

If the spatial barrier of the Dao Field was shattered, his plans would be affected to a certain extent.

If they compared the Dao Field to a massive balloon, shattering a point in the spatial barrier around it was like poking a hole in the balloon. The world origin started to pour out as the Dao Field started to shrink.

Even if they managed to plug up the hole at the fastest speed possible, they wouldn’t return to their original state.

It was then that a transmission arrived.

Shang Xia scanned through the contents and learned that everything went wrong.

The 3 dynasties have joined hands to wipe us all out! This is a trap! If I meet an untimely end, Brother Shang, please protect the lineage of my Wanyun Association!

Shang Xia sighed softly. The various factions of the Essence Xing World wanted to muddy the waters, planning to benefit from the losses of the dynasties. However, he knew that things weren’t as simple as they seemed. How could the 3 super dynasties allow themselves to be eaten up by a bunch of ants?

Even with Qi Jing’s passing and the absence of a Sage to take charge of the Qi Dynasty, who knew what deal Qi Jing cut with the others before his death and the number of hidden pieces he buried before dying?

Alas... When Shang Xia tried to remind Gong Zhuo back then, he refused to heed the advice. He felt that as long as the Sages didn’t take part in the conflict, they would be able to succeed.

Shang Xia refused to believe that Gong Zhuo never thought of the repercussions. However, neither he nor the other factions had much of a choice. The Chen Dynasty had already pressed so hard and devoured many factions in their territory. The Wanyun Association’s escape was purely an accident.

Everyone knew that the Qi Dynasty and Yu Dynasty were bound to take similar actions in the future.

The Chen Dynasty Emperor wanted to break the shackles to the Essence Xing World, but why wouldn’t the emperors of the other dynasties try?

The Essence Xing World was a pot that was slowly boiling, destroying faction after faction to strengthen the dynasties. The various powers felt that they might as well band together to make a final stand. The Chen Dynasty Emperor’s ascension was probably their final and best chance to make their move.
