Chapter 1675: Seven Star Realm, Fight!

Without prior warning, a massive fluctuation happened in the northern and southern region of the Essence Ping World. Continents on both sides suffered significant damage.

World origin from both sides were drained at an alarming rate, and the situation naturally alarmed the Star Origin Lord who controlled nearly 30 continents. As for the World’s Will that controlled the south of the world... It couldn’t do anything, but the high-level True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World could feel the change.

Above one of the continents in the north, a Star Origin Lord’s clone materialized out of thin air. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the ground to view the condition within the World Origin Source. After observing for some time, his usually indifferent face turned ashen.

The World Origin Source connected to the continent had depleted by nearly 30 percent!

However... Did it really disappear into thin air?

The Star Origin Lord's clone suddenly reached toward the supposed location of the World Origin Source and grasped into the void. The depths of the World Origin Source bubbled as a small seal was dragged out by the clone. It struggled desperately, but it eventually fell back into the Star Origin Lord’s clone’s palm.

However, before it was captured, the wisp of Shang Xia’s soul that had been hidden in it destroyed itself, leaving it as a mere rank five Talisman Seal.

A flash of recognition appeared in the Star Origin Lord’s eyes before he crushed the Talisman Seal into dust.

...

At almost the same time the Star Origin Lord’s clone discovered the Spirit Calming Vessel, several True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World gathered. Among them were 2 high-level True Immortals.

Those True Immortals quickly tried to traced the source of disturbance, but ultimately failed to find anything.

However, the fact that nearly 30 percent of the World Origin Source connected to the continent had vanished was an undeniable fact and the World’s Will had been significantly weakened.

...

In the Spirit Faith World in the Essence Ming Heavenly Field...

The same seismic phenomena occurred in the Wei Continent, attracting several True Immortals to investigate.

However, none of them were high-level True Immortals and they couldn’t even see the situation deep in the World Origin Source. They could only tell that the Wei Continent lost 30 percent of its World Origin Source. With that, the Wei Continent also became the weakest continent in their world.

...

In the Tong Continent in the Essence Xing World...

The Secret Talisman Gate that recently established itself flew into a fit of rage after discovering the disappearance of 30 percent of their continent’s World Origin Source. They started to search for the reason behind the depletion when a terrifying aura descended, stopping them dead in their tracks.

Just when the high-level True Immortal of the Secret Talisman Gate thought that a disaster was about to befall him, the aura disappeared, causing them to feel like they just crawled back from the gates of hell.

A strange expression appeared on the face of their patriarch, as though he realized something after the disappearance of the terrifying aura.

...

In the Qinglan Continent of the Essence Du World...

The sudden disappearance of 30 percent of world origin from the World Origin Source immediately caused a major uproar among several sects.

The experts in charge quickly started to point fingers, certain that the other experts of the sects had stolen world origin. Such a large scale theft was akin to draining the potential of their continent.

Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, the sudden arrival of Sage Yan Yu caused their hostilities to cease.

"Someone from another world is the one stealing world origin! Do not fall for their schemes to sow discord!" Yan Yu dropped said before departing hastily.

Actually, Yan Yu was also confused. He couldn’t imagine how the foreign expert had stolen world origin from them, but he knew it had something to do with the partially damaged paperweight he retrieved from the depths of the World Origin Source.

As he tried to investigate the reason behind the theft, he examined the paperweight carefuilly, only to discover that it was nothing more than an ordinary high-grade artifact.

...

In the World Origin Source where Shang Xia’s stone rod stood...

The Spirit Ruling World that had just completed its transformation might seem like it possessed abundant world origin, but it was because of the presence of the Stone Rod. Its foundations was actually considerable weak.

For more than 30 percent of world origin disappearing from the World Origin Source of a continent, even the surrounding continents were affected.

Fortunately, they were still a Spirit World at the end of the day. They could take the loss and the impact on their world wasn’t too significant.

...

In the Spirit Light World of the Essence Chong Heavenly Field...

The disturbance in the World Origin Source of a desolate continent attracted the attention of a few True Immortals.

They discovered the loss of world origin, but since they were True Immortals, they failed to find anything. Those who found out what happened actually planned to report the disturbance to their high-level True Immortals, but how many high-level True Immortals could they find? Most of them had been summoned by TrueSage Pei Yuanji to explore the depths of the void.

It was said that they were going out to investigate a secret matter, and True Immortals like them weren’t qualified to learn of it.

They could only conclude the incident themselves.

...

Back above the heavenly screen of the You Continent of the Spirit Luxuriant World...

Zhuo Gudao and Sage Jin's clone were well aware that a Martial Emptiness Realm clone was no match of a newly ascended Sage, even if they had just broken through.

Moreover, Shang Xia had the support of the World’s Will! Having breached the heavenly screen, the Star Origin Lord’s clone should be suppressed despite whatever secret art he might have.

Zhuo Gudao and Sage Jin's clone also considered that Shang Xia's method of ascension to the was somewhat special, possibly making him stronger than a typical newly advanced individual.

They also considered the fact that the Star Origin Lord’s clone would be completely annihilated by Shang Xia, and with that, it would be the best time for them to enter the Spirit Luxuriant World.

If the Star Origin Lord’s clone was defeated, or better yet, completely destroyed, it would be better for them. After all, they would have 1 less competitor. Moreover, they felt that since Shang Xia just became a Sage, he would be drained from the encounter and wouldn’t be a match for them.

With him out of the picture, the Spirit Luxuriant World would belong entirely to them!

However, what they hadn't anticipated was that the Star Origin Lord's clone would be defeated by Shang Xia so quickly. It was destroyed after a single exchange, failing to cause significant damage to Shang Xia or to drain much of his energy.

The dense barrage of attacks from the cultivators of the Spirit Luxuriant World was clearly not sustainable. Once Zhuo Gudao and Sage Jin’s clone decided to actually rush into the world, they would be able to sweep everything away. They might be slightly affected by the shockwaves and remnant energy of their attacks, but their clothes would be torn and their appearance might appear disheveled at worst. There would be no significant damage.

As soon as they discovered the situation was slowly slipping out of their control, they immediately acted. They took advantage of a short break in the barrage of attacks as they rushed at the heavenly screen.

During their attempt, they witnessed the aftermath of the Star Origin Lord’s clone’s death. The tremendous energy belonging to a Sage burst forth, spilling into the skies above the You Continent. It created a vast spectacle before transforming into essence rain. It greatly replenished the nearly depleted World Origin Source.

Even though he was just a clone, he was still at the Martial Emptiness Realm! The energy that made up his body also could be said to come from the same source as the Spirit Luxuriant World.

With the energy of a clone of such a level, they basically gained as much world origin as it would take to fill the World Origin Source connected to a continent or two. The faltering state of world ascension was quickly moved back on track.

At the same time, the 3 rifts that had been torn in the heavenly screen became 3 massive mouths that started to absorb all the energy that dispersed into the air.
