Chapter 1746: 3 Star Ships?

In Shang Xia's dantian, the Big Dipper Star Origin served as the core, surrounded by 7 smaller subsidiary stars.

When Shang Xia successfully advanced to the Seven Star Realm and created the Big Dipper Star Origin, he speculated about the relationship between the 7 subsidiary stars and his own cultivation level.

However, during this process, he also discovered that each illuminated star might symbolize his advancement to a certain level of the Seven Star Realm. But in reality, all 7 stars were interconnected.

That meant that he could freely distribute his Seven Star Qi. He chose to start from the first star closest to the Big Dipper Star Origin before moving outwards.

However, as long as he willed it, he could freely switch his cultivation between the first and seventh star of the Seven Star Realm depending on which star was lit.

Of course, it was also contingent on there being a sufficient amount of Seven Star Qi from his Big Dipper Star Origin.

Leveraging the power of his Origin Star Avatar and the soon-to-be rank seven Void Lotus, Shang Xia successfully crossed the peak of the first star to light up the second star.

Also, with the great battle that would soon take place, Shang Xia didn’t wish to leak the news of his cultivation breakthrough. Just before the celestial phenomenon triggered by his advancement could form, he immediately dispersed the Seven Star Qi from the first and second stars to the other 5 subsidiary stars. His horrifying aura vanished the next instantly, making his cultivation revert to the first star on the surface. He managed to hide his cultivation level, but his solid foundation was extremely obvious.

In the Spirit Luxuriant World, the various factions had also received news of the impending battle.

They sealed off their heavenly screen, and the Elysium Grand Formation was activated.

Mid to high-level experts from the various forces piloted Star Ships from the various continents to prevent any spies from causing any problems in the Spirit Luxuriant World at the moment.

The partially transformed world origin that had been managed by the various Elysiums and Holy Lands of the Spirit Luxuriant World, started to gather. It was similar to the method employed by the Spirit Tip World, and it allowed them to attack their enemies, rather than passively defend.

In the void outside the heavenly screen of the Spirit Luxuriant World, although only Shang Xia was alone, he could feel the chilly killing intent coming from outside the Heaven Observation Field. It was so sharp that it struck the hearts of all high-level cultivators present.

It was unclear how much time had passed when the chaotic streams around the Spirit Luxuriant World started to ripple. A massive Star Ship burst forth, speeding towards the heavenly screen as fast as possible.

The second it emerged, every single Stargazer in the Heaven Observation Field who had been monitoring the Spirit Luxuriant World and all beings capable of drawing on Seventh Order energy gathered. At the same time, multiple horrifying auras emerged at the same time and seemed to press down on the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Undoubtedly, those Sages from outside the Heaven Observation Field who had been watching though the Star Curtain were sending all their power in. They were ready to interfere with the Spirit Luxuriant World’s ascension at any moment.

However, after extending their energy into the Heaven Observation Field, those Sages didn’t summon their clones immediately. It was because they noticed that the ship that returned was a Star Ship and not the Ark. They understood that the Spirit Luxuriant World was probably using it as a decoy to distract some of the attackers, providing the Ark to actually return.

Cheap tricks...

The interior of the Star Ship lacked the space to contain a world fragment.

And as the Star Ship piloted by Song Zhen, Zhu Nang, Hai Yuanyuan, and Chu Jia continued its full-speed charge toward the Spirit Luxuriant World, they encountered no danger. Expressions of relief and disappointment appeared on their faces even though it was extremely contradictory.

Had they really attracted the attention of a Sage’s clone, despite their thorough preparations and Shang Xia's readiness to assist, they dared not hope to emerge unscathed.

Realizing their strategy had not taken effect, the ship didn’t slow down. They continued to rush at the heavenly screen.

Even if they didn’t divert the attention of the Sages, the number of experts on the ship weren’t insignificant. Their return would naturally enhance the Spirit Luxuriant World’s defense.

Just as they were about to enter the heavenly screen, the void started to ripple at the edge of the chaotic streams again. A ship that was no smaller than the previous emerged. There was no doubt about it. It had to be the Ark!

In an instant, spatial tunnels from the Spirit Tinkle World, Spirit Thistle World, and even the once Star Beast Nest No.2 opened. Horrifying waves of energy emerged, and it seemed to contain the might to shake the Heaven Observation Field. All of it was directed at the Spirit Ark that just emerged.

Standing behind the Spirit Thistle World was Sage Yu Kun, and his cultivation was at the second star of the Martial Emptiness Realm. Sage Hong Jing supported the Spirit Tinkle World, and her cultivation was also roughly at the second star. As for the Sage that came from the direction of Star Beast Nest No.2... Shang Xia was no stranger to him. He was Sage Chen Ji from the Chen Dynasty in the Essence Xing World. He was also rumored to be a second star Sage.

As the 3 Sages acted in unison, they summoned their clones with combat strength in the initial stages of the Martial Emptiness Realm. They tore through multiple layers of void and descended in different directions of the Spirit Luxuriant World before rushing at the Spirit Ark.

Unfortunately, before they could close in, a bronze colored sword qi that was in no way weak emerged from within the Spirit Ark. The mere sword intent was enough to shred the void around.

"It’s Kou Chongxue of the Spirit Luxuriant World! He had the second highest cultivation, second only to Shang Xia!”

The Sages who descended easily discovered who it was. With Kou Chongxue’s appearance, they were certain they had chosen the correct target.

At the same time, another powerful presence descended from the direction of the Spirit Mammoth World. Sage Yuan Ping of the Essence Hong World also summoned a clone to rush at the Spirit Luxuriant World. Compared to the other 3, he was a step behind.

In the Ark, Kou Chongxue had already gathered his strength. With the support of the energy that had been gathered by the grand formation, his combat strength surged into the level of someone in the Martial Emptiness Realm. It didn’t stop there as it continued to rise.

When everyone was focusing on the impending battle that would involve half a dozen Sages, yet another ship that had a strange design different from the first 2 emerged from the chaotic streams. It appeared silently, but it also accelerated rapidly towards the heavenly screen.
