Chapter 1501: Establishing the World Pt.2

"

Arghhhhh, Grahhhh...

!" at the edge of the void in the Azure Ruling World, a flat, oval-shaped spiritual beast king with a pair of wings and a body shimmering with starlight made strange sounds towards the most powerful of the beast kings, the Giant Ape King, as if it was asking it something.

However, the Giant Ape King, who was staring in the direction of the Azure Ruling World, glanced at it and did not respond. Instead, it let out a loud roar. The other quietly recovering spiritual beast kings looked up in surprise, seemingly puzzled by its sudden decision to act.

The Giant Ape King showed no desire to explain, becoming even more irritable and urging the surrounding spiritual beast kings in the void to speed up and start the invasion.

Perhaps due to the absolute strength and intimidation of the Giant Ape King, or for some other reason, those spiritual beast kings, though somewhat reluctant, responded to his call to action.

As the Giant Ape King roared again at the spiritual beast king glowing in starlight, the latter, not daring to delay, swiftly moved its semi-circular wings, leading the way, leaving trails of substantial starlight in the void it passed through.

Numerous giant beasts and avians followed, heading towards the direction of the Azure Ruling World.

Shang Xia, naturally unaware that his actions caused them to start their invasion earlier, failed to react. The entire time, he was focused on the Stone Rod that was growing rapidly in the Azure Ruling World.

At this time, all his energy was focused on the Stone Rod that was rapidly growing within the Azure Ruling World.

Shang Xia, as sixth tier True Immortal, had to transmit his energy as he was unable to enter the Azure Ruling World himself.

Shang Xia was using the Stone Rod as a medium to unleash his martial intent, Six Harmony Supporting the Heavens!

He had a strange premonition it was his best opportunity to advance to the grand completion stage of the Six Direction Realm and there was no wasting the chance.

By then, he had already refined and perfected his self-created secret art, the Six Harmony Flawless Rod Technique. He was also at the large completion stage. In his journeys through the star curtain, be it himself or the Crimson Soul Tablet, they had long since stored the Breath of a Heavenly Field. He also managed to perform his World Establishing Art in the chaotic streams and even used it to stabilize a spatial tunnel earlier.

The only thing he hadn’t experienced was the creation or destruction of a world, and the opportunity to destroy a world had not arrived. Even if it had, Shang Xia wouldn’t necessarily be prepared to destroy a world along with all the beings within.

There was only world creation next, and even creating a Barbaric World wasn’t something he could do so easily. Not only would he require extensive preparations, he would also need countless resources.

Since the Azure Ruling World was about to be invaded, a bold idea formed in his mind.

What if I didn’t have to create a world from scratch? Wouldn’t the promotion of an Azure World to a Spirit World also classify as creation?

As the thought flashed in his mind, he realized that it might be the actual meaning of how he should be comprehending his martial intent.

The only thing troubling him was the fact that the Azure Ruling World hadn’t reached the limit of an Azure World. There were 4 continents at the very least that hadn’t reached a state of perfection and that was the problem he was trying to solve.

His Stone Rod transformed into a giant pillar that supported the heavens. Just as the Shi Brothers mentioned, what Shang Xia wanted to hold up wasn’t an Elysium. It was the Azure Ruling World!

As the pillar continued to grow, the conditions for Shang Xia to activate his martial intent were activated. From outside the heavenly screen Shang Xia infused the Breath of a Heavenly Field into the world as layers of space started to integrate with the Azure Ruling World, causing it to expand rapidly. Even the continents started to grow.

Those were the effects of his World Establishing Art. It could create spaces ranging from secret regions to massive regions of separate space.

With Shang Xia's current cultivation level and mastery of his secret art, even though he couldn’t create a Dao Field, he was at least able to create a region of space equivalent to an Elysium. It could be as large as half a continent!

As his Stone Rod continued to reach for the heavenly screen, Shang Xia didn’t just use his World Establishing Art once.

While the space inside the Azure Ruling World expanded, the continents were forced to stretch but the World Origin Source couldn’t increase magically. It failed to support such a massive continent.

Usually, such stretched continents were but a fleeting phenomenon, soon to collapse due to insufficient world origin, potentially leading to turmoil and disaster in the lands..

Strangely enough, as Shang Xia’s Stone Rod continued to grow, the other end dug itself deep into the earth. It stabbed straight into the World Origin Source where a large tablet appeared. The originally insufficient world origin started to bubble and it rose so quickly it threatened to spill over!

That wasn’t all. Since the World Origin Source was interconnected, world origin flowed to the other continents from where the Stone Rod was.

The Azure Ruling World might not possess enough world origin, but Shang Xia was a rich bastard who plundered a shit ton of world origin from Spirit Worlds and even an Essence World! The Crimson Soul Tablet contained a vast sea of world origin, more than enough to support the Azure Ruling World for the time being!

Since Shang Xia had almost completely restored the Crimson Soul Tablet, his connection with the mysterious treasure deepened. He could urge the tablet to release a part of the world origin it contained, even though it was only a small portion.

That was enough.

As world origin from worlds far beyond the Azure Ruling World poured into the World Origin Source, it further misled the Azure Ruling World that it had enough world origin to ascend!

As the world expanded, the World’s Will followed its instinct to prepare for world ascension and transformation.

Every single expert in the Azure Ruling World at a high enough level could sense the world transforming.

Especially those existences in the Martial Void Realm. They clearly felt the rising limit of the world and the existing constraints on them slowly weakened.

During the process, the first to benefit were the Ying Brothers and the vine beast king.

The vine beast king almost started to ascend the second the limit of the world was raised!

It was then that Ying Lingxi, who went to communicate with it, realized that it had already occupied an Elysium!

There was actually an Elysium in the Azure Ruling World!

Shang Xia wasn’t the only one who missed it. Even the Ying Brothers, who were familiar with the Azure Ruling World, were caught completely by surprise.

The Giant Vine King had always used its massive and strange body to cover the hidden Elysium.

Moreover, from the message sent back by Ying Lianxi, the situation of the vine beast king’s body was very special. Half of its roots were outside the Elysium, and the other half hid within. Even Ying Lianxi couldn’t tell if it was an Elysium True Immortal or not.

The instantaneous change of the vine beast king caught Ying Lianxi off guard. Even though it wasn’t likely to enter the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm at once, the decisiveness of the spiritual beast king made him sigh in admiration.

With the discovery, he also felt completely at ease. The higher the cultivation, the deeper the bond with the world. With the Azure Ruling World about to ascend, the vine beast king chose to remain.

While sighing, Ying Lianxi left. It wasn’t just to show that he held no ill intentions. He also had to meet up with Ying Lianquan to unseal their cultivation.

As one of the people who helped with the ‘ascension’ of the world, Ying Lianxi felt the rejection of the World’s Will weaken even further. It was the best time for them to regain some of their strength.

Outside the heavenly screen, Shang Xia managed to barely maintain his cultivation as a sixth tier True Immortal with the energy stored in the Crimson Soul Tablet as backup. Most of the energy in his dantian had been sent into the Azure Ruling World when he utilized his martial intent.

Even so, Shang Xia's cultivation barely remained at the sixth tier. With his inner qi severely depleted, he looked like he was on his last breath.

Xin Lu and Yan Ming looked worriedly at the pale-faced Shang Xia and asked cautiously, "Are you alright?"

Having temporarily ended his display of strength, Shang Xia managed a weak smile. His face was pale, but there was a profound light in his eyes. He chuckled softly, “Don’t worry about me. Tell Song Zhen and the others to return to the Azure Ruling World. You guys should enter the heavenly screen as well. We can’t stay here!”
