Chapter 1783: Fight, Fight, FIGHT!

With the power of the Star Origin Dao Field and the Spirit Observation World’s Will, Zhuo Gudao had elevated his combat strength to rival that of a third star Sage. Meanwhile, Sage Jin, whose cultivation had reached the formidable fourth star, was renowned for his exceptional combat prowess even among his peers.

Yet, as they stood above the Essence Ping World, despite joining forces, they were overwhelmed by the Star Origin Lord’s Starlight Clone. They could only defend themselves, with no way of fighting back.

Taking advantage of their suppression, the starry skies above the Essence Ping World aggressively expanded toward the south once again, attempting to reclaim the 6 continents from the Spirit Abundance World.

At the critical moment, the void beyond the Essence Ping World was suddenly torn open, and a chaotic yet immense force descended directly upon Zhuo Gudao.

Already empowered to near third star combat strength, Zhuo Gudao experienced another dramatic surge. His aura and strength soared to the very peak of the third star, almost breaching into the territory of the fourth star.

Such an explosive surge of power made Zhuo Gudao radiate with horrifying power. It shattered the starlight restraints around him instantly.

However, a cold laugh suddenly echoed in Zhuo Gudao’s mind. “The power of a World’s Will, a Dao Field, and now, the combined might of hundreds of Star Origin Guards. You absorbed such a messy and vast energy into your body... How long do you think you can endure the burden? How long do you think you can last in this battle?”

“To defeat you is long enough!” Zhuo Gudao roared, his beard and hair bristling, eyes wide. He reached out into the air and tugged as the stars flickering above started to fall.

Meteorites and shooting stars streaked across the sky in brilliant trails of flame, illuminating half the night. It was so bright anyone would mistake the battle to be happening in the day. It rapidly dissolved the starry veil that had been spreading toward the southern continents.

While Zhuo Gudao launched his counterattack, on the other side of the battlefield, the high-level experts of the Spirit Abundance World were doing everything they could to assist Sage Jin.

Though he was not one of their own and could not draw upon the power of their world like Zhuo Gudao, over a dozen mid-scale Star Ships rose from the Spirit Abundance World. True Immortals controlled all of them and they clearly intended to replicate the method the Essence Luxuriant World used to relocate the Azure Qing World to drag the continents back to their world.

In truth, the aid the Spirit Abundance World could offer Sage Jin was quite limited. Many of their top cultivators and elite experts were already tied up in the 6 southern continents. Furthermore, the forced fusion of the Essence Ping World’s Will into their Spirit Abundance World triggered a violent rejection from their World’s Will. The rejection plunged the entire realm into a state of internal conflict, severely restricting the strength of those within, especially those of higher cultivation.

Within the Essence Ping World, the abrupt acceleration of the southern continents’ detachment also directly impacted the Star Origin Lord’s ability to deploy his power.

The spread of the starry skies lagged behind the speed of the continents’ separation. Also, Sage Jin was no fool. He struck back as he took on the greatest attention from the Starlight Clone.

An invisible sword that had once torn the void apart reappeared before him. It had no hilt or guard. There was only the blade, flickering between reality and illusion.

Waves of golden sword qi radiated from the blade, and every strand seemed to be able to sever the existence of the starry skies.

Even under such circumstances, the Star Origin Lord’s Starlight Clone did not relent. The veil of night stubbornly clung to the borders of 3 continents, attempting to stop their separation from the Essence Ping World’s main landmass.

It was the next second, illusory drifting leaves suddenly appeared in the sky above the Essence Ping World. They merged into the night sky, and in the blink of an eye, a third of the stars vanished.

The Star Origin Lord's Starlight Clone, locked in combat with Zhuo Gudao and Sage Jin, abruptly turned his head. His gaze pierced through the void to the source of the disturbance.

“Yuan Ping...” He spoke the name through gritted teeth.

Yet while his focus was briefly scattered, Zhuo Gudao and Sage Jin, backed by the Spirit Observation World, the Star Origin Dao Field, and the Spirit Abundance World, joined forces to forcibly tear the 6 southern continents away.

It was then that the Star Origin Lord’s Starlight Clone realized it was impossible to prevent the separation of the Essence Ping World. The starry veil that had been clinging to the borders of 3 continents withdrew from 2, concentrating all its power on the final landmass.

The final continent had just been separated from the Essence Ping World, but before it could be fully pulled into the void, it was once again enveloped by the starry veil and forcefully dragged back.

Although the plan had been to detach all 6 continents, only 5 successfully escaped the Star Origin Lord's grasp.

Still, that was enough. It was enough for both the Spirit Observation World and the Spirit Abundance World.

However, simply separating the continents from the world was not the same as detaching them from the Essence Ping World. The path ahead would not be so simple.

It was also then that a True Immortal who was stationed on one of the continents yelled, The World Origin Source of my continent is rapidly depleting...!”

At first, his report didn’t raise much alarm. The Star Origin Lord's Starlight Clone had already begun siphoning the world origin from the continents’ World Origin Source the moment he realized their separation was inevitable.

In truth, all of the detached continents were experiencing various degrees of world origin loss and shrinking World Origin Sources.

But when he sent another report in panic, stating that half of their World Origin Source had vanished, the experts of the Spirit Abundance World finally realized that something was seriously wrong.

Before they could react, the 5 continents had been pulled far beyond the Essence Ping World. The Star Ships that were dragging them started to accelerate.

Seeing their success, Sage Jin and Zhuo Gudao pushed the Star Origin Lord's Starlight Clone’s back, stopping his pursuit and shielding the 5 continents as they accelerated away from Essence Ping World.

Strangely, after they broke away, the Star Origin Lord's Starlight Clone made no attempt to chase them. Instead, he stood motionless above the heavenly screen, hands behind his back, staring pensively into the distance.

When the continents were far enough away, and Sage Jin and Zhuo Gudao were sure the Star Origin Lord’s Starlight Clone wasn’t chasing them, Zhuo Gudao acted. Reaching forward, he seized 2 of the 5 continents, pulling them to the Spirit Observation World.

Sage Jin tapped the void before him as a chilly killing intent locked onto Zhuo Gudao. “Sage Zhuo, what is the meaning of this?” he asked flatly.

Zhuo Gudao feigned surprise. “What? I’m merely following our earlier agreement to take 2 continents of the Essence ping World. Surely you’re not planning to go back on your word?”
