Chapter 1603: Another Time

There was another strange barrier in the void above the heavenly screen of the Essence Ping World, preventing it from being exposed to the void.

Previously, when high-level True Immortals from the various worlds gathered, it wasn’t as though none of them thought of destroying it. Rather, they simply didn’t bother.

Aside from the fact that the void barrier itself wasn’t easy to destroy, another consideration they had was to hide the existence of the Essence Ping World from those whose cultivation levels were lacking.

An even more critical point was the staunch opposition from the Spirit Abundance World.

Worlds weren’t simple celestial bodies that remained suspended in the void. They would attract one another. Worlds with similar mass would start to fuse if they crashed into each other, and for worlds of different sizes... The larger world would swallow the smaller world!

At the moment, the Spirit Abundance World’s greatest fortune was that it existed within the same region of space as the Essence Ping World, allowing them to steal world origin to strengthen themselves, but it was also the Spirit Abundance World’s greatest misfortune.

The void barrier that existed between them significantly slowed down the attraction of both worlds, but the moment it was removed, calamity would immediately fall on the Spirit Abundance World.

Now that the Star Origin Guards destroyed the void barrier, they pulled the rug out from under the Spirit Abundance World. They no longer had a way out.

However... No one could blame the Star Origin Guards. They also had no choice. The Star Origin Dao Field had already become one with the Spirit Observation World. Since they entered the same region of space, they would also be dragged to the other worlds. Even with Zhuo Gudao’s presence, they wouldn’t be able to avoid the attraction.

Meanwhile, after the short-term spatial chaos that was triggered, the intensity of the battles on both sides began to significantly decrease.

The shockwaves on both sides were no longer confined and had a much larger space to dissipate.

More importantly, the Star Origin Guards not only integrated 7 True Immortals from the Star Origin Lord Manor, enhancing the power contained in their battle formation. The energy produced by their battle formation also poured into Zhuo Gudao, who was escaping from the clones.

By then, all 3 clones that were chasing after Zhuo Gudao had already completed their fusion. With a single clone that reached the peak of the second star of the Marital Emptiness Realm rapidly approaching, the fourth clone also quickly charged at him.

Counting the clones, Shang Xia found it somewhat strange. Earlier, 5 clones appeared above the heavenly screen. Even after Zhuo Gudao destroyed 1 with his ultimate strike from the Star Origin Dao Field, another was quickly created.

However... After the True Immortals of the Spirit Mammoth World killed a clone, the Essence Ping World released a dozen or so Star Puppets but didn’t create another clone.

Are 5 clones the Star Origin Lord’s limit?

Or were the members of the Spirit Abundance World causing trouble in the Essence Ping World?

Shang Xia instinctively turned his gaze towards a corner above the heavenly screen.

Just then, that vague sense from his talisman appeared again.

As Shang Xia was momentarily lost in thought, the situation outside the heavenly screen changed once again.

The Star Origin Guards’ grand formation, which suppressed tens of thousands of miles, started to resonate with Zhuo Gudao.

Even though he hadn’t entered the grand formation, both sides managed to deploy the battle formation, turning Zhuo Gudao into the core of their formation.

Zhuo Gudao, who was evading the Star Origin Lord’s clone, suddenly turned around and faced the strongest clone that had just integrated the fourth clone that came from the other direction. The aura of the only clone left reached a new level.

"Take this! Take a look at how different it is to the grand formation you passed down.” Zhuo Gudao growled.

The next moment, the complete might of the Star Origin Guards’ grand formation descended on Zhuo Gudao, and the resonance came along with the power of the Star Origin Dao Field and the Spirit Observation World.

With the superimposition of the 3 powers, Zhuo Gudao’s aura expanded greatly. After experiencing 2 levels of transformations, it seemed to surpass the aura of the Star Origin Lord’s clone!

The clone clearly didn’t expect Zhuo Gudao to possess such a powerful trump card, causing his rapidly approaching figure to pause slightly in mid air.

In a split second, Zhuo Gudao unleashed the horrifyingly powerful energy he had gathered.

Shang Xia witnessed the strongest exchange he had seen in his entire life thus far, a battle between powerful Sages!

Both individuals, whose cultivation seemed to have reached the third star of the Martial Emptiness Realm, clashed head-on. Even with the suppression of the Star Origin Guards’ grand formation, the void that was tens of thousands of miles wide was shattered in an instant, producing a region of chaos!

Shang Xia, who hadn’t fully retreated, was caught in the shockwaves of the battle.

Actually, the moment Zhuo Gudao turned around, alarm bells were already ringing in Shang Xia’s mind. Just as he prepared to leave, he realized that the Star Origin Guards had sealed off the surrounding void.

He might still be able to travel through the void, but he definitely wouldn’t be fast enough.

As he thought of retreating, Shang Xia felt a malicious gaze coming from the Star Origin Guards’ grand formation.

Almost instinctively, Shang Xia locked onto the figure at the very heart of the formation, where the Star Origin Guard commander, Tong Yutang, was positioned. He could even vaguely see the imitated Star Origin Lord Robe fluttering behind him.

After all... He was wearing the real Star Origin Lord Robe!

Undoubtedly, Tong Yutang was after the Star Origin Lord Robe Shang Xia possessed. He also wanted the grand completion stage True Immortal of the Spirit Luxuriant World dead!

What a shame... In Shang Xia’s eyes, it seemed as though all Tong Yutang could do was to cook up little schemes in an attempt to plot against him.

Shang Xia even had time to scoff at Tong Yutang just as Zhuo Gudao clashed with the Star Origin Lord’s clone.

With the void crumbling under the exchange, Shang Xia followed the rough estimate of where he felt his talisman earlier and activated a Six Harmony Teleportation he retrieved.

His actions were covered by the Star Origin Guards’ grand formation, but that didn’t mean that he had no means of passing through the void to enter the Essence Ping World. Moreover, the location he chose was where the World’s Will hadn’t been taken over by the Star Origin Lord.
