Chapter 1495: Azure Ruling World and Spirit Frost World Pt.9

Perhaps it was because Shang Xia, a sixth tier True Immortal, was present, or because they had already passed through the most dangerous region, but during their subsequent journey, they didn’t run into any trouble. They quickly entered the space around the Azure Ruling World, making Shang Xia’s presence seem somewhat redundant.

After docking the two ships and Spirit Ark at a temporary port constructed on the floating continent, Shang Xia, Song Zhen, Zhu Nang, and Yan Ming quickly met up with Xin Lu. They also went to meet the Ying Brothers’

"What's the situation now? Any instructions from your true bodies?" Shang Xia didn’t bother beating about the bush.

The Ying brothers' clones were not surprised by the arrival of Shang Xia and his party. Ying Lianxi's clone immediately said, "Our true bodies have sent a transmission. The situation inside the Azure Ruling World is still within expectations, but we kindly ask your fellow experts to help protect the Spirit Ark. If the Twin Star Pirates wish to establish a foothold in the Azure Ruling World, we must first gain the approval of the World’s Will."

Shang Xia continued to inquire, "Is just protecting the ark enough? Do your true bodies need any assistance?"

Ying Lianquan's clone smiled and said, "As long as you all take action, the beasts attacking our true bodies will surely be distracted, and thus, the pressure our true bodies feel will definitely decrease. However, your subordinates need to be careful not to be injured by those spiritual beasts. Our true bodies also instructed us to inform you that confrontation with the spiritual beast tribes might take a long time and we are only trying to secure our footing in the world at the moment. There is plenty of time for us to fight in the future.”

After leaving the clones, Xin Lu whispered to Shang Xia, "The Twin Star Pirates do not wish to completely annihilate the spiritual beast kings of the Azure Ruling World. They’re probably trying to avoid relying too heavily on us, or it might have something to do with the Spirit Frost World.”

Shang Xia nodded in agreement.

Ultimately, Shang Xia’s base of operations was in the Heaven Observation Field. No matter how valuable the Azure Ruling World was, they wouldn’t be able to stay for long.

After the matter is resolved, they would soon depart. The Azure Ruling World would still face the invasion of the Spirit Frost World.

If the rank six spiritual beast kings of the Azure Ruling World suffered heavy casualties, the Ying Brothers might have to face the Spirit Frost World alone!

Thus, Shang Xia instructed Song Zhen and Zhu Nang, "No matter what, after this matter is resolved, we will have fulfilled our promise to the Twin Star Pirates. You guys need to enter the Azure Ruling World now to handle matters there.

Shang Xia spoke seriously, and even the usually frivolous Zhu Nang looked more solemn. "Rest assured, we know what to do."

Since they arrived, most of the experts of the merchant group were ready to be deployed into the Azure Ruling World.

Under the leadership of Song Zhen and Zhu Nang, at least thirty members of their merchant group with cultivation in the Martial Dipper Realm entered the Azure Ruling World.

With this new force jumping straight into the fray, the situation of the Twin Star Pirates within the Azure Ruling World was bound to improve rapidly.

Then, Shang Xia turned to Xin Lu and asked, "Have the chaotic streams in the Original Stars Corner disappeared?”

Xin Lu nodded. "Shortly after you went to meet True Immortal Song and others, the chaotic stream where we first entered underwent significant changes. I can't describe exactly how, but it seems to be because the chaotic streams over at the Original Stars Corner disappeared.”

Shang Xia glanced at Yan Ming, briefly shared his encounter with the starship caught in the spatial current and Yan Ming's speculation, then asked for her opinion.

Xin Lu, initially surprised, eventually gasped, "It seems quite likely. However, for us to know what is going on, we need to survey it together. It shouldn’t take long to reach a conclusion once we work together...”

Shang Xia nodded, allowing them to organize the remaining personnel, and then without even waiting to repair the Star Ships, they charged deeper into the void.

Left alone on the floating continent, Shang Xia suddenly found himself with nothing much to do.

Of course, he wasn't truly idle. Besides keeping part of his attention on the ongoing battle inside the Azure Ruling World, he invested most of his energy into comprehending his martial intent.

After several major battles and his experiences traveling through the Chaotic Star Sea, chaotic streams, and various worlds, especially the recent encounter with the high-level spiritual beast king of the Spirit Frost World, he gained deeper insight into his martial intent, Six Harmony Supporting the Heavens! He felt that an opportunity to comprehend it might be close at hand.

...

High in the skies of the Azure Ruling World, a standoff seemed to be taking place.

The Ying Brothers, along with two third tier True Immortal-level spiritual beast kings, and a mysterious expert surrounded by intense gold and silver light spheres, appeared locked in an intense confrontation.

Despite the Ying Brothers looking more pitiful, their facade of being willing to destroy the world caused their opponents to hesitate. They were afraid of mutual destruction.

In fact, after the Ying brothers forcefully entered the Azure Ruling World by sealing their own cultivation, the outcome seemed almost predetermined.

If rank three or even rank four True Immortals were left unchecked, they would be able to turn an Azure World into ruins.

The Ying Brothers wanted to use the Azure Ruling World to build their foundations, but as outsiders, they had more options. If necessary, they could leave the Azure Ruling World and spend a little more time and effort to find another place to establish themselves.

If the Azure Ruling World was to be devastated... It would be a disaster for the native beasts, whose true spirits had been branded into the world.

While both parties had an unspoken agreement to limit the destruction they would do by fighting high in the skies near the heavenly screen, the battle continued.

Well... That was until the Azure Ruling World’s heavenly screen was once again forcibly torn apart. With Song Zhen and Zhu Nang leading 30 Martial Dipper Realm experts into the world, they tipped the scales of the battle.

The colorful bird with the strength of a third tier True Immortal who was attacking the Ying Brothers let out an angry cry and swiftly withdrew from the fight.

A fierce wind rose in the high skies of the Azure Ruling World, with the spiritual beast king blending into it. It charged straight for Song Zhen, the third tier True Immortal who forced his way into their world.

Zhu Nang hurriedly covered the rest as they descended into the Azure Ruling World before joining hands with Song Zhen.

Song Zhen laughed heartily, pulling a long banner from his sleeve. It was made from the heavenly screen fragment of the Spirit Abundance World and it freed him from the suppression of the World’s Will. He could unleash the full extent of his strength.

"Just follow the plan, Brother Zhu. I’ll handle things here!" As Song Zhen spoke, he faced the incoming fierce wind and activated an Abyss Prison Emptiness Talisman.

The soul-eroding wind met Song Zhen and was instantly swallowed as a bottomless abyss, leaving nothing behind.

From the vanished wind, a beautifully feathered bird emerged. With the banner in hand, Song Zhen charged at the spiritual beast king.

The sky started to churn and it looked as though the heavens had shattered. Powerful shock waves spread in all directions, causing all living creatures in continents around to tremble in fear.

Amidst the ferocious battle between a man and a bird, a certain understanding seemed to keep the aftermath from causing too much damage to the world.

While the two third tier True Immortals continued to entangle with each other with victory in sight for neither, Zhu Nang, leading 30 experts of the Martial Dipper Realm, arrived at a newly established outpost in a coastal area. They joined up with the forces of the Twin Star Pirates stationed there.

These outposts, set up on the Azure Ruling World, also faced attacks from mid to high-level spiritual beasts. With the addition of 30 Martial Dipper Realm experts and the supplies they brought, the outpost was soon fortified.

However, it was clear that not all personnel could remain there. After bolstering the defenses, 5 were left to stand guard with the Twin Star Pirates while the remaining 25 were divided into 5 groups. They were led to other outposts that had been established.

As for Zhu Nang, after escorting the troops to the outpost, he took his leave quietly.

His target was not to reinforce the Spirit Ark that was holding out under the assault of the snake beast and tiger-leopard beast. Rather, it was to use a concealment talisman to hide his presence to restrain the frog beast in the distance.

Because the Twin Star Pirate who was fighting with the frog used the Heaven Liberation Talisman, Shang Xia could easily track him. He guided Zhu Nang over to provide assistance in any way possible.

Actually, Shang Xia only needed to provide a general direction. The disturbance of a clash between True Immortals was enough to disturb thousands of miles. It was more than enough for Zhu Nang to find them.

As Zhu Nang approached the battlefield, the severely weakened Twin Star Pirate who was running on nothing but sheer determination and Shang Xia’s inner qi, started to retreat in Zhu Nang’s direction.

Once close enough, the cultivator, who had long been overwhelmed by using Shang Xia’s Six Direction Qi, charged at the frog beast with a suicidal resolve.

With a tremendous explosion, the Twin Star Pirate expert was obliterated. The frog also let out a painful scream, clearly having suffered serious injuries.

Despite Zhu Nang’s typically unserious demeanor, he couldn’t help but respect the pirate’s sacrifice. However, he didn’t waste the opportunity the Martial Dipper Realm expert had fought for. No longer concealing himself, Zhu Nang released his energy instantly, smashing straight into the frog king.
