Chapter 1994: Battle For The Essence Du Heavenly Field Pt.3

In the void beyond the Essence Du Heavenly Field, someone asked, “Are we really waiting for those high-level Sages to decide the winner?"

Sage Kun from the Essence Yuan Heavenly Field gave a sharp cry. "Then what’s the point of everything we’ve been doing?"

It wasn’t just Sage Kun. Hong Jing, Shi Guan, and several other Sages all looked displeased.

Kou Chongxue only smiled at their expressions, saying nothing more.

Though they appeared indignant, after Kou Chongxue had told them of the possibility, not a single one dared to recklessly make a move on the Essence Du Heavenly Field.

Of course, the restraint applied only to the Sages of the major Heavenly Fields.

Those who weren’t Sages were rushing into the Essence Du Heavenly Field. Star Ships from various Heavenly Fields had already carried their elite cultivators into the Essence Du Heavenly Field, beginning to establish footholds and locate where the World Origin Source was in preparation for dividing the continents.

Naturally, the Essence Du Heavenly Field’s native sects were not going to meekly await slaughter.

The process inevitably came with death and bloodshed. Invaders and defenders alike would pay a heavy price.

While high-level cultivators often played a decisive role in conquering and dividing a world, they were far from the only factor.

The fragments of the worlds needed to be defined when cutting them apart. World Origin Sources had to be guarded, and the integrity of continents had to be maintained. All of which required the cooperation of many elite cultivators.

Compared to establishing footholds inside the Essence Du Heavenly Field, its two auxiliary worlds had already been divided among various forces.

The division meant their territories had been designated or claimed. While the actual breaking apart of the worlds had started, it would take a long time before both worlds would be completely destroyed.

The Spirit Light World and an Azure World constructed from the portion of the Essence Xing World’s remains were affiliated to the Essence Du Heavenly Field. The latter was still some way from advancing to a Spirit World, making it merely a highly developed Azure World for now.

Through some agreement among the Sages of the major Heavenly Fields, those worlds would only be divided among the Spirit Worlds in their respective Heavenly Fields.

The Spirit Light World, which was once fractured, had recovered to a world with 18 continents. But after being breached by the combined forces, three of its continents had already been taken by the Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field’s Spirit Ruling World, Spirit Cheng World, and Spirit Qing World.

One of these continents even had an Elysium preserved and taken over.

Though those continents only made up one-sixth of the Spirit Light World, they were unquestionably among its top regarding their development and accumulated foundation.

The reason the Spirit Worlds of the Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field could seize them so precisely was, of course, because of accurate intelligence from insiders, who coordinated from within during the assault, saving time and, more importantly, reducing their losses.

Once they occupied those continents, the native leadership was quickly wiped out or driven off, and the mid to low-level cultivators were subdued. The moment it was done, the cultivators of the three Spirit Worlds swiftly began locating the World Origin Source connected to each continent and set up formation nodes along the borders in preparation for separating them from the world.

Meanwhile, three Spirit Arks, the ‘Ruling’ originally belonging to the Ying Brothers, the ‘Qing’, and the ‘Azure’, were already prepared to enter the Spirit Light World and carry away the three continents.

Of them, the continent with the intact Elysium would be merged into the Spirit Cheng World.

The Spirit Cheng World had originally been formed from the remnants of the Spirit Light World. Both worlds shared the same origin anyway.

Once they retrieved the continent, they would be able to quickly integrate it with themselves, and the losses suffered would be minimal.

The Spirit Cheng World, once the least developed among the Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field’s four auxiliary Spirit Worlds, would be brought closer to the others with that.

The other two continents would go to the Spirit Qing World and Spirit Ruling World, each of which would also make huge gains.

As for the Spirit Frost World... The reason they hadn’t been called over to join the battle was obvious.

The Spirit Frost World was exclusively inhabited by spiritual beasts. Joining the war would draw the attention and hostility of the surrounding Heavenly Fields.

Besides, their foundation was deep and their rate of development was high. Among the Spirit Worlds, it ranked among the highest. Otherwise, the Giant Ape King couldn’t have reached his current state.

Regarding the Azure World, the Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field had also sent forces to seize two ordinary continents.

Since they had once built Azure Arks before learning to build Spirit Arks, they had two Azure Arks ready for use.

But whether the Spirit Light World or the Azure World, they were merely appetizers in the Essence Du campaign. The true feast was still the handling of the Essence Du Heavenly Field itself.

After seizing part of the Essence Xing World’s legacy, the Essence Du Heavenly Field now had 27 continents. Of them, 20 barely met the minimum size of 10,000 miles.

Of the remaining seven, the largest belonged to the sect from which Yan Yu hailed, yet it spanned only 16,000 miles. The other six measured around 12,000 to 13,000 miles each.

The Essence Du Heavenly Field had advanced to an Essence World more than a century earlier than the Essence Luxuriant World, yet its development lagged far behind.

After Yan Yu was captured alive by the combined efforts of multiple Sages, the various powers did not immediately divide the Essence Du World, but they did send their elite cultivators in to establish strongholds.

Among them, the Essence Luxuriant World alone established two strongholds in two different continents, fending off native counterattacks before using them to expand quickly.

This success was, of course, thanks to the presence of Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia’s External Avatar.

Just as their Azure Arks were ready to sail and their Spirit Arks prepared to take in world fragments of the Spirit Light World, the four high-level Sages in that special section of the void finally revealed themselves.
