Chapter 1598: First Try Pt.2

With the appearance of the fifth clone, everyone understood that the Star Origin Lord wasn’t ignoring everything that was happening at the heavenly screen. Instead, he seemed too lazy to intervene as long as the Essence Ping World wasn’t damaged.

For the Star Origin Lord, the destruction of several clones might only be a trivial loss. After all, the Essence Ping World could easily produce enough world origin to cover the creation of another clone.

Perhaps it was only those who were inexperienced who would take pride in defeating a clone or two.

The situation was clearly unfavorable for the True Immortals of the various worlds. If the Spirit Mammoth World’s battle formation failed to withstand the pressure of 2 clones, or if the clones managed to fuse to reach the second star, the joint attack of the various factions on the Essence Ping World would instantly fail.

At the crucial moment, Shang Xia knew that it wasn’t time to hold back. With his figure turning slightly blurry, he rushed at the Spirit Mammoth World’s battle formation. As he made his way over, he started to gather his Six Direction Qi. He was prepared to unleash his martial intent to take on a clone himself.

Unfortunately, he arrived a little too late and the distance between them was a little far. Before he could rush through the spatial ripples, someone had already charged over to help them out of the pickle.

Yuan Chan, the grand completion stage True Immortal of the Spirit Mammoth World appeared. No one knew where he was hiding but when he reappeared, he was barely 1,000 miles from the clone. The moment he made his move, fire rained down on the battlefield.

The meteoric flame ignited the void like sparks. As soon as they touched the clone, the flames started to burn with a terrifying vengeance. The world origin that made up the clone was quickly exhausted. With that, the clone was greatly weakened.

Unleashing a loud roar the clone that was on fire quickly burst forth with greater strength. The fire on his body quickly extinguished.

At the same time, Shang Xia, who was watching everything closely, noticed Yuan Chan’s movements becoming sluggish when the clone drew on more power. Even the battle formation was disrupted for a second.

Controlling the World’s Will?!

Shang Xia quickly guessed what was happening, but then he realized the anomaly. "This is the Essence Ping World... Why would the Star Origin Lord need to manipulate the World’s Will? It should be rejecting every foreign expert anyway...”

It quickly brought his attention back to what he had overlooked all along. Even though they had been fighting above the heavenly screen, they weren’t feeling much rejection by the World’s Will!

While that could be explained by the Star Origin Lord substituting his soul for the World’s Will and the World’s Will was focused on resisting his intrusion, it didn’t mean that the Star Origin Lord had lost the ability to manipulate the portion of the World’s Will he had taken over.

From what he was witnessing, even a clone was able to draw on the power of the World’s Will! Even though it was only a small part that was negligible it was enough to suppress Yuan Chan’s martial intent and turn the situation around!

Yuan Chan's sudden appearance and failed attempt to stop the clone caused the battle formation to be placed under even greater pressure.

Fortunately, Shang Xia had been rushing over the entire time. With his arrival, he unleashed the combination strike with Breaking World and his World Establishing Art. The clone Yuan Chan had targeted was pulled into a separate space, with Yuan Chan falling closely behind.

Naturally, Shang Xia did not intend to trap Yuan Chan. After dragging the clone into a separate space and Yuan Chan along with it, Shang Xia also leaped into the region of space he created.

2 grand completion stage True Immortals and a Martial Emptiness Realm clone disappeared and the spot where they entered started to rumble with terrifying explosions. Even the battle formations that were fighting the Star Origin Lord’s clones started to avoid the area.

As that was happening in another region in the void, Zhuo Gudao knew that he was barely able to fight the clone he was facing. However, a flicker of emotion soon appeared on the clone’s face and a chuckle soon left his lips. “Hah, I thought you would be able to surprise me. I didn’t think that you would have broken through because of that treasure. I suppose you were already at the end of your lifespan and barely managed to break through with the treasure, right?”

Zhuo Gudao's expression changed the second the clone spoke. His expression was completely frozen and he only managed to force the words out eventually. “Star... Star Origin Lord?!”

Only Zhuo Gudao knew how complicated his emotions were when he forced the words out of his lips.

The clone, that contained a strand of the awakened Star Origin Lord’s soul, chuckled, "I remember back then you were just a small captain among the Star Origin Guards. Haha! You might have attended a few of my lectures, but I never imagined that of everyone, an unassuming person like you would be able to get the last laugh!”

Zhuo Gudao took a deep breath. His expression turned cold and he growled, "I had no choice. However... For you to leave the treasure in the Star Origin Dao Field, you probably had ill intentions too!”

The clone roared with laughter, "There’s no need to think so much about it. At the very least, you managed to live because I left it behind.”

Zhuo Gudao gnashed his teeth in rage. “Are you saying I should be thanking you?”

"Shouldn't you?" The clone raised an eyebrow in mockery.

In response, Zhuo Gudao drew on the power of starlight around him. The phantom of the Spirit Observation World appeared behind him and at the same time, a giant pyramid could be seen clearly on it. It started to gather the power of starlight and eventually, a giant beam shot at the clone Zhuo Gudao was fighting.

Facing the magnificent strike, the clone tilted his head to the sky and roared, "Kid, you seem to have forgotten who taught you your skills!"
