Chapter 1795: Spirit Tip World’s Split Pt.2

Shang Xia and his Origin Star Avatar suspected that the Spirit Tip World had long since pledged allegiance to the Essence Du World. It was only due to the potential interference from the Essence Luxuriant World that they had to maintain an act before Xin Lu, all while secretly preparing for their migration.

It was the arrival of Zhu Nang that had thrown the Spirit Tip World into a panic, forcing them to initiate their plan ahead of schedule.

Perhaps, as Zhu Nang and the others believed, the Spirit Tip World had once been divided into 2 factions. Those favoring the Essence Luxuriant World likely followed Guan Ziqing’s influence. But after his death, his sway quickly faded, and his stance naturally lost support.

Of course, another key reason was that Yan Yu of the Essence Du World had likely been both pressuring and tempting the Spirit Tip World all along. And to the Essence Luxuriant World, the Spirit Tip World's strategic value ranked beneath that of the Spirit Qing World. With them preoccupied by internal advancement and defending against invasions from forces within and beyond the Heaven Observation Field back then, it gave the Spirit Tip World’s leaders the impression that they were neither prioritized nor protected.

With the contrast so stark, the Spirit Tip World’s choice to side with the Essence Du World became inevitable.

The Spirit Tip World had indeed once harbored hopes of remaining independent. However, after the battle at the mini Spirit Lyric World, where Guan Ziqing drew upon too much of the power of their world, their foundation had been severely depleted, leaving them no longer able to resist Yan Yu.

After confirming that the Spirit Tip World’s leadership had completely defected, Shang Xia and his Origin Star Avatar left Zhu Nang behind and rushed in the direction of the Essence Du World.

Zhu Nang remained to await the fleet from the Essence Luxuriant World, to later guide them in the same direction.

Shang Xia wasn’t surprised by how swiftly the Spirit Tip World was being pulled away.

From earlier conversations with Guan Ziqing, he had learned that Yan Yu had been employing all kinds of methods to shorten the distance between the worlds. Only Guan Ziqing, empowered by the power of his world, had been able to stall it.

But now, Guan Ziqing had fallen. With the Spirit Tip World fully cooperating and no one left to resist, the efforts to absorb them were bound to move far more swiftly.

Still, for all its speed, a world migration couldn’t possibly outpace 2 Sages crossing the void.

Guided by starlight, Shang Xia and his Origin Star Avatar traveled rapidly, their speed among the fastest among experts of their level. After just a full day of travel, they caught the lingering traces of the Spirit Tip World’s path through the void.

But because they were moving at full speed, they couldn’t conceal their aura. As soon as they closed in, they were discovered by Yan Yu.

“There’s going to be a tough fight,” Shang Xia said, then charged straight at the Spirit Tip World.

Before he could get within a million miles, Yan Yu descended personally, intercepting him.

When their eyes met, both showed clear signs of shock.

Shang Xia was astonished to find that Yan Yu had entered the second star even without the establishment of his Heavenly Field!

But Yan Yu was even more stunned that Shang Xia had already reached the third star!

"How did you do it?"

"That’s impossible!"

They spoke almost in unison, equally shocked.

Then, without another word, both burst into action, still tens of thousands of miles apart.

Yan Yu swiped across the void, shattering and grinding the space around Shang Xia into chaos.

Shang Xia, in turn, pointed through the void. A streak of starlight shot forth toward Yan Yu’s chest.

Through the chaos, Shang Xia emerged completely unscathed. He looked like he was merely strolling through a garden as he walked out of the distorted space.

Meanwhile, the starlight aimed at Yan Yu disintegrated mid-flight, like a meteor breaking apart before it could strike the ground.

All of it happened in an instant, and neither had gained the upper hand. But the distance between them was now narrowed to just a hundred thousand miles.

Part of the Essence Du World’s Will had been harnessed by Yan Yu. Empowered by the power of his world, he fought without fear, even though Shang Xia’s cultivation was higher.

But Shang Xia also had his Origin Star Avatar, whose strength was at the second star.

As Yan Yu clashed head-on with Shang Xia, his Origin Star Avatar circled around the battle, skirting the edge of the void toward the Spirit Tip World.

But just as he neared their world, within 100,000 miles of the surrounding turbulent flow, the repulsion from the Spirit Tip World's Will surged tenfold, perhaps more. It disrupted his movement, even suppressing his cultivation by an entire level.

"This... This isn’t right. How can the Spirit Tip World’s Will be this strong?" With a startled shout, he instinctively began retreating to safety.

But before he could retreat far enough, several high-level cultivators from both the Essence Du World and the Spirit Tip World burst from the void. Forming a battle formation, they unleashed a strike powered by a force far too vast to have come from the Spirit Tip World alone.

“This is the power of a Heavenly Field!” His Origin Star Avatar shouted as he swung his stone rod. He struck the incoming force head-on but was instantly thrown back. His body tumbled for ten thousand miles through the void before he stabilized himself with the Origin Star Robe.

Meanwhile, Shang Xia, wielding his Seven Star Mace, disrupted Yan Yu’s attacks by channeling the power of his Big Dipper Star Origin and the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet. He called out, “So the Spirit Tip World has already become your subordinate world, and your Essence Du Heavenly Field has already formed. How did you manage this?”

Yan Yu laughed and raised his palm like he wanted to flip the heavens. With the backing of the Heavenly Field, he pressed down to suppress Shang Xia.

“If I couldn’t bring the Spirit Tip World to my Essence Du World, then I simply brought my Essence Du World to the Spirit Tip World!”
