Chapter 1676: Seven Star Realm, Fight! Pt.2

With the nourishment of energy from the death of a Martial Emptiness Realm clone, the Spirit Luxuriant World was greatly rejuvenated.

However... A single clone was far from enough!

Fortunately, Shang Xia's plans had proved useful. Outside the heavenly screen, there was another Martial Emptiness Realm clone and there was even Zhuo Gudao who descended personally.

The only thing Shang Xia was concerned about was them joining hands after they realized the fate of the Star Origin Lord’s clone.

In such a situation, Shang Xia naturally dared not allow them easy entry into the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Because even if Shang Xia could contend against them, he would likely face a fierce battle.

In such circumstances, if they were to fight within the Spirit Luxuriant World, more than half the world would be torn to shreds from the shockwaves caused by a battle consisting of 3 Sages.

The second they tried to enter the breach in the heavenly screen, Shang Xia summoned a massive projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet and swung it at them.

Previously, he drew the actual Crimson Soul Tablet from his sea of consciousness when he faced the Star Origin Lord’s clone for the first time.

The power displayed by the Crimson Soul Tablet that had transformed into a blood-red mace, lived up to his expectations.

The Star Origin Lord’s clone couldn’t withstand a single strike from the Crimson Soul Tablet’s actual form!

In Shang Xia's hands, the Crimson Soul Tablet unleashed power nearly enough to instantly obliterate the Star Origin Lord’s clone!

However, the moment Shang Xia dealt with the clone, the mace returned to his sea of consciousness. It stood still and returned to its true form as a majestic tablet.

When Shang Xia was facing Zhuo Gudao and Sage Jin’s clone, all he could use was the projection of the tablet he had been able to summon.

However... Even the projection of the tablet could unleash frightening strength in the hands of Shang Xia who had broken through to the Seven Star Realm.

As soon as they passed through the heavenly screen, alarm bells rang in their heads and they dodged to the side, hoping that the other would take the brunt of the blow.

However, the two barely moved before realizing the danger they were truly in. With awkward expressions on their faces, they froze before choosing the most rational choice to work together to withstand Shang Xia’s strike.

Even without the Crimson Soul Tablet, Shang Xia displayed such horrifying strength that Zhuo Gudao and Sage Jin’s clone were shocked.

There was no technique when Shang Xia swung the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet. All he used was raw inner qi.

Having just stepped through the heavenly screen, they had no room to dodge and faced the blow head-on. The next instant, the heavenly screen above the You Continent... Or more precisely, the heavenly screen around the breach above the You Continent, was obliterated. The Spirit Luxuriant World’s heavenly screen wasn’t just slightly pierced through with the Sages being thrown out. It was like a woman who had been stripped of most of her upper garment, exposing much of herself.

Even though Shang Xia tried to push the shockwaves of the impact out into the void, he was still facing 2 Sages. He failed to fully contain the power of the blast and several continents were ravaged by a mighty hurricane that caused untold damage and loss of lives.

However, that was the best outcome Shang Xia could achieve against 2 Sages.

What he didn’t know was the profound shock his strike had brought to Zhuo Gudao and Sage Jin's clone.

Shang Xia might possess the support of his world, but he just broke through and had yet to solidify his foundations. As his opponents, Sage Jin’s clone might be somewhack lacking due to the loss in energy, but Zhuo Gudao was there in person! He should be at the peak of the first star of the Martial Emptiness Realm!

Under such circumstances, their joint effort barely blocked his strike.

What if they had faced Shang Xia alone?

What if they had pressed too hard and Shang Xia, driven into a corner, chose to put his life on the line and crush them?

For Sage Jin's clone’s, he would only lose some energy at most, requiring a few years of secluded cultivation for recovery...

However, Zhuo Gudao descended personally! Not to mention perishing with Shang Xia. Even suffering heavy injuries in a desperate struggle wasn’t a price he could afford! As for the Star Origin Dao Field and Spirit Observation World... The moment Zhuo Gudao was out of the picture, they were doomed.

Ultimately, the original intention of the 3 Sages was to simply prevent Shang Xia’s breakthrough. Dividing the Spirit Luxuriant World among them was just a bonus.

The second Shang Xia became a Sage, their original purpose failed.

Under such circumstances... Was it still really worth rushing injury or even death to fight someone who would most definitely defend his world to the death?

Especially when the example of the Star Origin Lord’s clone’s death was still fresh in their mind.

It was also probably after the Sages were thrown back out into the void that hundreds of Star Ships carried Martial Extermination Realm and Martial Dipper Realm cultivators of the Spirit Luxuriant World rose started to converge around the You Continent. They seemed unaffected by the chaos as desperate attacks surged into the void above the heavenly screen. Thousands of desperate attacks rained down on the Sages in different directions.

At the same time, the Elysium Grand Formation around the Spirit Luxuriant World that had been dormant for some time had been reactivated by Yang Taihe. The energy that replenished the World Origin Source during the death of the Star Origin Lord’s clone quickly powered the formation. With the experienced True Immortal leaping back into battle, he chose to strike at Sage Jin’s clone.

After thinking about the consequences if they were to continue fighting, both Sages finally buckled with Yang Taihe’s interference.

The more vulnerable Sage Jin's clone was the first to withdraw, rushing away, leaving Zhuo Gudao open to Yang Taihe’s assault.

Zhuo Gudao cursed under his breath. He was not concerned about Yang Taihe’s attack, but he worried that Shang Xia might would capitalize on the opportunity to fuck him up!

There was no hesitation as he ran away while paying attention to Yang Taihe’s attack.

However, the expected pincer attack never came. Shang Xia’s aura even disappeared from his senses.

Expending some effort, Zhuo Gudao forcefully dispersed the Seventh Order energy Yang Taihe had gathered. At the same time, he tried to locate Shang Xia only to be distracted by an enraged cry coming from the void. Sage Jin’s clone, who had been running, cried out in pain as a massive rift was torn in the void. 7 twinkling stars appeared in the shape of a strange ladle, shining bright in the darkness.
