Chapter 1667: The True Hunter Pt.4

After successfully leading the reinforcements from the Spirit Ruling World and the Spirit Tip World into the Heaven Observation Field, Song Zhen quickly organized them and coordinated with Yuan Qiuyuan. The Grand Stargazer immediately devoted almost all of his energy to tracking and capturing the whereabouts of Pei Lu and the group from the Star Origin Dao Field.

During this time, Xin Lui and Yan Ming were constantly striving to guide Kou Chongxue and others through the chaotic void, attempting to evade the joint encirclement of dozens of True Immortals from Lingjun Realm, Lingyu Realm, Lingtu Realm, and Linglang Realm.

However, given that the opponents were numerous and also had the assistance of Stargazers, instead of helping Kou Chongxue and the others escape, Xin Lu and Yan Ming realized they were starting to lost control of the situation.

Throughout the process, Xin Lu and Yan Ming repeatedly requested Yuan Qiuyuan to intervene and help the True Immortals of their world escape danger, but Yuan Qiuyuan refused decisively.

He had a more important task at the moment and that was to locate Pei Lu and the True Immortals of the Star Origin Dao Field. His intuition told him that even though they were the weakest group, they would be able to cause catastrophic damage if they entered the void around the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Another reason was that the guidance they could provide had already reached the limit. Even if Yuan Qiuyuan were to help, it would not significantly alter the dire circumstances of Kou Chongxue and the others.

Yuan Qiuyuan was clear that only 2 possibilities could turn the tide for his side. The first was Shang Xia’s breakthrough, and the second was their reinforcements from the Spirit Ruling World and the Spirit Tip World arriving on the battlefield in time.

He couldn’t control either one.

Xin Lu and Yan Ming had previously attempted to locate Pei Lu and the others, but they failed without exception. They suspected that they were supported by a rank six Grand Stargazer, who could suppress them both even though he was far away in the Star Origin Dao Field.

However, Yuan Qiuyuan seemed confident in his abilities as he was close to becoming a rank six Grand Stargazer. He had a feeling he would be able to locate them.

What Yuan Qiuyuan did not know was that ever since the experts of the Star Origin Dao Field entered the chaotic streams around the Spirit Luxuriant World, their movements were already controlled by Shang Xia.

Pei Lu and the rest weren’t the only ones. Even Kou Chongxue and the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World couldn’t escape Shang Xia’s senses.

However, from the beginning, Shang Xia had not intervened.

Even though Pei Lu and the rest had entered the void around the Spirit Luxuriant World and were starting to place down some arrangements, clearly preparing to summon Zhuo Gudao, Shang Xia did not interfere.

As for the plight of Kou Chongxue and others... It wasn’t that Shang Xia couldn’t help. However, he was at a critical point in his breakthrough and didn’t wish to distract himself. Unless Kou Chongxue, Sun Haiwei, and those close to him were at risk of death, he wouldn’t step in.

Moreover, he was certain that while the opposing forces aimed to thwart the Spirit Luxuriant World’s ascension and his breakthrough, they wouldn’t be willing to risk their lives if they saw that Kou Chongxue and the others were also willing to go all out.

It was just as he thought. Even though 3 second tier True Immortals from the Spirit Luxuriant World were slain in quick succession, the moment he sacrificed his fifth tier True Immortal External Avatar to kill 2 fourth tier True Immortals from the Spirit Thistle World and heavily injure Zuo Li, everyone became hesitant to continue fighting.

Meanwhile, as Kou Chongxue bought even more time for them, Shang Xia noticed the reinforcements led by Song Zhen and the 5 high-level True Immortals from the Spirit Ruling World and Spirit Tip World. Watching them close in on the battlefield, he finally relaxed.

At almost the same moment he noticed their Star Ships, a transmission talisman emerged from Tongyou City and landed in Shang Xia’s hand.

"I have found the traces of the people from the Star Origin Dao Field; they have entered our space and are making some arrangements that strengthened their connection with the Grand Stargazers of the Star Origin Dao Field. Please crush them quickly!"

The talisman conveyed Yuan Qiuyuan's anxious report, along with the approximate coordinates of Pei Lu’s group. His observation was almost exactly the same as Shang Xia.

"Looks like Little Yuan’s art of stargazing is on the verge of transforming to that of the sixth rank...” Shang Xia murmured softly as the talisman turned to ash in his hand.

Yuan Qiuyuan was unaware that the group of True Immortals of the Star Origin Dao Field were only able to successfully avoid Kou Chongxue and the others due to Shang Xia’s subtle guidance.

As Shang Xia looked at the transformation of the world beneath his feet, he could see every single detail. Compared to the speed of ascension when he forced the process to begin, the Spirit Luxuriant World was starting to show signs of exhaustion.

Even though the World’s Will was still bestowing its blessing on Shang Xia, it was starting to urge him to do something.

The World’s Will seemed to recognize its inadequacy, and it finally placed its hopes on Shang Xia to resolve the situation. Otherwise... A failed ascension would surely weaken them, possibly even causing it to fall back into the state of an Azure World!

"Don't worry, don't worry, someone will soon come knocking of their own accord!" Shang Xia muttered as he slowly raised his gaze. Looking in a certain direction past the heavenly screen, he saw exactly what was going on there.

The next second, he turned to another direction, staring outside the Star Curtain. His real concern wasn’t what was happening in the Heaven Observation Field... He only wondered how many clones of those Sages out there were waiting to descend to fight for a share of their spoils.

Meanwhile, under Pei Lu's command, True Immortals of the Star Origin Dao Field didn’t take long to set up a massive formation that also combined some elements of the art of stargazing. It was placed on a massive land fragment that was drifting in the void.

With Pei Lu's command, the 7 True Immortals quickly stood on the key formation nodes. Intricate lines started to emit light, forming dense runes that formed a stable spatial tunnel.

As a grand and majestic aura spread from the other end of the tunnel, the void around started to tremble. It was as though space itself was afraid of the terrifying existence that was about to come through!
