Chapter 1763: Shifting The World

The fleet from Essence Luxuriant World, comprising a large-scale Star Ship, a Spirit Ark, and 10 mid-scale Star Ships, emerged from the chaotic streams and attracted the attention of countless people from both inside and outside the Heaven Observation Field.

Yet when some noticed the misty starlight continuously hovering above the fleet, many tactfully averted their gaze. Still, plenty of eyes remained fixed on them, curious about their true objective.

This time, however, Essence Luxuriant World made no attempt to conceal its intent. The fleet crossed the void with a clear destination. They were headed for the Azure Qing World.

With that, everyone understood. The Essence Luxuriant World was laying the groundwork for establishing a Heavenly Field!

Once it took shape, they would completely detach from the Heaven Observation Field and stand as an independent power in the sea of stars!

What remained uncertain was whether the Heaven Observation Field’s Star Curtain would continue to exist if that happened.

What piqued the curiosity of the higher powers, however, was not just the formation of the Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field, but how Shang Xia had become a second star Sage.

After all, when Shang Xia had suddenly displayed his combat strength at the second star and crushed several clones, the Jiuyin Ark hadn’t entered his world. The Essence Luxuriant World hadn’t completed its ascension either.

If Shang Xia advanced before the world completed its ascension, others might have guessed that he drained the world’s potential to do so. But to take another step to enter the second star... It went against everything the other Sages understood about cultivation.

It was also why all of them became obsessed with Shang Xia’s path of cultivation.

While Shang Xia and his Origin Star Avatar were unaware of the true thoughts of those people, his Origin Star Avatar could feel several faint but persistent gazes lingering in the surrounding void the moment he left the Essence Luxuriant World.

It was clear things would only become more complicated in the future.

Everything he felt only reinforced Shang Xia’s urgency to accelerate the formation of the Heavenly Field. Once the Star Curtain finally collapsed, the Heaven Observation Field would become a battlefield for Sages. The Essence Luxuriant World alone would not be enough to deter them.

Naturally... If Shang Xia could come up with the idea of establishing the Heavenly Field to stop them, those Sages outside the Heaven Observation Field could also do the same.

When the fleet was halfway to the Azure Qing World, a silent tidal wave of energy surged forth from the depths of the void. It rushed at the Azure Qing World like a tsunami.

The hidden enemy knew they couldn't defeat a fleet protected by Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar. So they instead attacked the Azure Qing World directly, hoping to disrupt the situation and throw the plan into chaos.

As expected, the misty starlight above the fleet rapidly condensed. Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar reappeared, clad in brilliant robes. With a single flick, he summoned a beam of Star Fire, tearing through space to directly shatter the incoming void tide.

Although the wave was dispersed, the resulting shockwave still rippled through the void. Even the chaotic streams around the Azure Qing World were affected and the world shifted slightly in the void.

With brute force, a Sage could shift the position of a world in the void.

Even more terrifyingly, figures like Sage Jin, who was supporting the Spirit Abundance World, once severed a continent from their world. Even the heavenly screen was damaged back then, causing the weakness in the Spirit Abundance World to last for hundreds of years.

When Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar clashed with the mysterious wave of energy, a giant palm formed in the distance and came crashing down on the fleet.

It was clear the attacker hoped to exploit the Origin Star Avatar’s engagement and ambush the Essence Luxuriant World’s fleet.

“Sage Yuan Ling? Are you really going to attack those with weaker cultivation levels?” Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar yelled. Exposing his identity instantly.

Shang Xia was no stranger to Sage Yuan Ling’s abilities. After all, they clashed several times before.

At the critical moment, another clone split off from Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar. Wielding a stone rod, he swung it at the palm, shattering it. Eventually, raw void currents flew in every direction.

After the strike, his clone sensed that there wasn’t actually any threat in the palm strike. It seemed to be a feint rather than a genuine attempt to crush the fleet.

What Yuan Ling had not expected, however, was that Shang Xia could summon yet another Sage-level clone.

Only then did many hidden observers realize that Shang Xia, now a second star Sage, could freely create powerful clones! Moreover, his Origin Star Avatar existed before he even reached the second star!

If that was the case... Wouldn’t it mean that Shang Xia alone was worth 3 Sage-level combatants?

With the Star Curtain still intact and Sages unable to pass through it with their true bodies, they could only send their clones. Shang Xia’s ability to create multiple Sage-level clones was maddeningly frustrating to them.

Worse yet, they hadn’t forgotten. There was also Kou Chongxue in the Essence Luxuriant World! Even though he wasn’t a Sage, he could wield power that made him comparable to one!

That was also why they were trying to stop the Essence Luxuriant World at any cost. Many had already made preparations to make their moves.

Just as they were about to send their forces, in the void millions miles god knew how far away, a powerful aura erupted like a volcano. A colossal phantom of Shang Xia appeared in the void. A waterfall of starlight poured down on him from the depths of the void.

With a lightning-like gaze, Shang Xia swept his gaze around. Everywhere it passed, hidden auras that were about to strike immediately stilled themselves.

Throughout this tense episode, the fleet of the Essence Luxuriant World never stopped. Apart from the elite True Immortals and a handful of exceptionally powerful Martial Dipper Realm experts, most on board had no idea they were nearly killed.

The fleet advanced steadily, encountering no further obstruction until reaching the outer edge of the Azure Qing World stable space.

Waiting at the designated rendezvous point was third tier True Immortal Xiao Yugang. He was fully aware of what had just happened.

Fortunately, he had reacted quickly and retreated in time to avoid injury from the aftermath of the clash between Sages.

Even so, the clash had displaced the Azure Qing World, which in turn affected the world itself.

Xiao Yugang had briefly returned to inspect the damage. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions had rocked the realm, and a coastal continent had split from the mainland, forming a new island state.

“Is the Azure Qing World fully prepared?” came a voice from the Essence Luxuriant World’s flagship. “You must understand... Once we begin the shift, there’s no turning back. You will be pulled to our world and we will be linked in the same void, separated by only a thin stream of chaotic streams.”

Surprisingly, the speaker was not one of the two high-level True Immortals, Gao Qin or Gu Mingzheng, nor Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar. It wasn’t even Huang Jinghan or Sun Haiwei.

It was a figure no one expected, Kou Chongxue’s External Avatar!

Shang Xia created the method to create External Avatars, but the person who needed it the most in the institution was actually Kou Chongxue!

However, Kou Chongxue’s External Avatar was only a third tier True Immortal, unlike Shang Xia, who managed to create a high-level True Immortal External Avatar.

The person who emerged to meet the experts of the Essence Luxuriant World this time, with Xiao Yugan,g wasn’t the Elysium True Immortal like before. Instead, a True Immortal who had just broken through,h called Chai Song, had come.

Though Elysium True Immortals could not exit their worlds, they could send clones through the Five Element Teleportation Formation or spatial tunnels. It might seem strange, but the Azure Qing World actually didn’t attempt to create a spatial tunnel or have their Elysium True Immortal send a clone.
