Chapter 1506: Establishing a World Pt.7

The Ape King finally unleashed the might it had developed in all of its existence.

Both of its massive palms clenched into fists and hammered down simultaneously, a technique that had been its most favored form throughout its growth as a beast.

After continuous refinement, the well-known, commonly used, and highly mastered form of pummeling had evolved into the most powerful innate might it wielded and its martial intent.

It even gave the divine strike a name, World Hammer!

As the name suggested, it had the ability to shatter a world completely.

It was simple and brutal…

Moreover, the Ape King's innate martial intent wasn’t just for show. In past campaigns against other worlds, it managed to severely damage the World's Will with a single strike.

This time, the Ape King reused the old trick, but its target was not the Azure Ruling World but Shang Xia himself. The world just happened to be in the way.

Previously, the heavenly screen prevented the Ape King from finding and locking onto Shang Xia's exact location, and it had even been unable to determine whether Shang Xia was dead or alive.

However, after forcing the Ying Brothers and the Vine King into a perilous situation, forcing Shang Xia to intervene before fully recovering, his location was revealed. The Ape King’s eyes flashed golden in color and instantly locked onto him.

Those eyes were another one of its innate martial intent. It just didn’t happen to be one it comprehended as a rank six beast. It worked the same way as the martial intent of cultivators.

An unmatched force descended, so immense that even the void could not bear the onslaught of the magnificent power.

After the funnel-shaped depression was created, the heavenly screen didn’t even have time to shatter before it was completely destroyed.

Beneath the heavenly screen, Shag Xia was exposed to the Ape King. He didn’t look like he would be able to avoid the strike.

On the platform, there was no way for him to hide!

Shang Xia wasn’t a being who was accepted by the Azure Ruling World and could exist within. The only reason he hadn’t been destroyed by the World's Will was because he was standing on the Stone Rod that supported the world's ascension.

The only hope he had was in the Stone Rod, but as his weapon that had been bathed in his inner qi, Shang Xia trusted its ability to withstand the strike. It also contained the might of his martial intent which was the same level as the Ape King’s World Hammer!

Rolling off the platform, Shang Xia held onto the edge with a single hand.

Boom! Rumble…

The Ape King's martial intent slammed into the Stone Rod, causing it to sink thousands of feet into the ground. At the same time, the Azure Ruling World which lost the protection of the heavenly screen suffered widespread destruction.

The energy contained in the Ape King’s martial intent was dissipated by the rod and the world started to tremble in pain. The World Origin Source started to roll about violently, startling the high-level experts of the Azure Ruling World.

However, they soon realized that the rolling World Origin Source was not because the Azure Ruling World was facing imminent disaster, but rather the World's Will seemed excited!

It was a very strange phenomenon.

Shang Xia, who had moved to a small corner, spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Stone Rod, being a Holy Artifact, managed to take on the Ape King’s martial intent with no problems. However, Shang Xia was different. He wasn’t in his peak condition and his organs felt like they received a massive jolt.

Despite his injuries, Shang Xia’s mind was clear and he understood what was happening in the Azure Ruling World.

After the Stone Rod was smashed deeper into the ground, it pierced deeper into the World Origin Source. It rose even further and it was like the water level rising in a container.

Even though the fundamental amount of world origin didn’t change, it gave the illusion it was going to overflow.

The Azure Ruling World's Will started to accelerate the ascension process due to the overflowing World Origin Source!

The most direct effect this brought on Shang Xia was that the World's Will further relaxed its constraints on him.

The Azure Ruling World started to possess some traits of a Spirit World. Even though it still suppressed foreign experts, high-level True Immortals no longer felt as suffocated as before.

At the very least, Shang Xia could feel that he could step off the Stone Rod!

While the Stone Rod could withstand the might of the Ape King, Shang Xia couldn’t remove it from the world. Otherwise, the loss of support would interrupt the ascension process and trigger even more catastrophic consequences.

Since he had successfully unleashed his martial intent, the Six Harmony Supporting the Heavens, he had stepped into the grand completion stage of the Six Direction Realm despite suffering heavy injuries and being unable to move a muscle.

Even in his current state, if he wanted to leave, he would have no problem bringing away Song Zhen’s large-scale Star Ships and Spirit Ark despite the encirclement of the spiritual beast kings of the Spirit Frost World.

The spiritual beast kings outside weren’t fools. If Shang Xia wanted to leave, they wouldn’t stop him! In fact, they might even make way for him to leave even faster so that they could conquer the Azure Ruling World with ease.

According to the previous agreement Shang Xia had with the Twin Star Pirates, he already fulfilled his promise. They couldn’t blame him if he left. That way, he could even prevent a lot of his subordinates from falling to the invasion.

After witnessing the strength of the Ape King and other spiritual beast kings from the Spirit Frost World, the thought had been lingering in Shang Xia’s mind.

The only reason he was still there was because of the sense of righteousness in his heart.

If Shang Xia and others chose to keep resisting, the Azure Ruling World side might not necessarily win. However, if if he left Song Zhen and the rest away, the Azure Ruling World would fall instantly and the fate of the Twin Star Pirates and the native creatures would be sealed.

Simply resisting the invasion of the spiritual beast kings of the Spirit Frost World wasn’t a long-term solution. Shang Xia knew he had to find a way to break the deadlock.

For instance... He could summon the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet!

With his current cultivation level and the extent of power he controlled, the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet would be much stronger than before. It would definitely be enough to cause serious injuries to the Ape King who was of the same level of cultivation as himself.

However, perhaps sensing Shang Xia's current intentions, the Crimson Soul Tablet stopped replenishing his energy. In his current state, the actions of the Crimson Soul Tablet was pushing Shang Xia to the edge of the precipice.

Reluctantly, Shang Xia had to communicate with the Crimson Soul Tablet through his divine soul, trying to understand the reason.

As soon as he observed the tablet, the words emerging on its surface captured his attention.

Upon successfully understanding and executing his martial intent and stepping into the great completion stage, the Crimson Soul Tablet immediately began deducing his rank seven advancement formula!
