Chapter 2150: Effortless

The danger level of the Essence World Ruins was extremely high.

Any cultivator entering this place who wasn’t a True Immortal would, from the very beginning, be shaken dizzy by the constantly shifting force fields, and with a single misstep, could be swallowed by the countless spatial fractures, or even lose their life.

Even Shang Xia, upon first entering the Essence World Ruins, was unable to immediately adapt to the changes. His body swayed uncontrollably with the shifting fields, and the surrounding spatial rifts kept tossing him into different regions. The power of space tore at his domain and even threatened to rend his body apart.

Fortunately, his divine soul had long since reached the grand completion stage of the Seven Star Realm, and his physical body was strong enough to withstand the tearing forces of the spatial fractures.

Though he could not control his movements for some time, he suffered no injuries.

After a brief period of adjustment, Shang Xia soon stabilized himself. His figure stood firm in the void. No matter how the surrounding force fields fluctuated, they could not move him an inch.

Even the constantly shifting spatial rifts that appeared near him could no longer pull him in.

Only then did Shang Xia finally have the leisure to calmly observe the void around him.

However, his divine soul was soon stirred. He abruptly turned his head toward a patch of void below and to the side. There, at the edge of his vision, he saw a figure retreating hastily, as if startled by something.

Shang Xia’s gaze sharpened, and he was just about to step forward to give chase when the void ahead suddenly collapsed. A spatial rift appeared right in front of him. Through its distorted layers, he vaguely saw two figures locked in a fierce duel across space. Judging by the shockwaves of their clash, there was no doubt they were both Sages.

After only a moment’s hesitation, Shang Xia decided to take the risk and force his way into the spatial rift, intending to make contact with the two experts.

Before he could reach the rift, the surrounding void grew ever more fragile. More and more fragments of space began to fall like shattered glass, rendering the entire area increasingly chaotic. The spatial rift itself began to sink rapidly, on the verge of being completely swallowed and forming a powerful spatial current.

Sensing danger, Shang Xia immediately sped up, ignoring the slicing shards of space around him, and dove headlong into the collapsing rift.

But his intrusion had clearly alerted both Sages who had been fighting. The instant he burst through, both combatants, who had been locked in confrontation, simultaneously turned their attacks toward him.

Shang Xia did not even have time to speak. His domain, already riddled with tears, was shattered completely under the combined assault of the two mid-level Sages.

At the critical moment, Shang Xia swung his Seven Star Mace with all his might, unleashing a mighty Shattered Starry Skies.

Although it was only the first form of his Seven Star Mace Technique, with Shang Xia’s current cultivation, it was enough for him to withstand the joint attack of two mid-level Sages.

However, the backlash of their combined power caused the surrounding spatial rift to collapse instantly. A raging spatial torrent surged in, threatening to engulf the fragile pocket of space within moments.

Seeing that, both mid-level Sages who had attacked first realized the situation had become dire. Without hesitation, they each fled in opposite directions, while Shang Xia, unable to retreat in time, was swallowed by the collapsing space.

The frail space was completely destroyed, further feeding the raging torrent.

Moments later, however, the rampaging current that tore through the Essence World Ruins was suddenly pierced open from within. From it, Shang Xia burst out unscathed, though his expression flickered with complex emotions.

Soon, his attention was drawn to his surroundings again, and he realized he had arrived in a completely unfamiliar void.

Extending his divine soul outward, Shang Xia grunted softly. The chaotic ambient energy around him quickly calmed at a casual wave of his hand, and with the aid of the Crimson Soul Tablet, he soon detected faint traces of origin qi from a foreign Star Field around him.

Surveying the environment, Shang Xia quickly deduced that, like other forbidden regions in the other Star Regions, the Essence World Ruins had already absorbed a significant amount of origin qi from a foreign Star Field.

However, due to the ruins’ unique environment, the origin qi that infiltrated could not disperse evenly or in an orderly fashion throughout the surrounding space.

“In that case...” Shang Xia thought to himself, “I must either find the true source of the origin qi leaking from the other Star Field, the void channel connecting them, or rely on luck, searching one space after another.”

As he thought to himself, he looked around carefully and soon noticed a floating island faintly visible in the depths of the void below him. He immediately sped toward it.

But he had not flown far before realizing that his flight path had somehow drifted away from the island’s direction.

That did not surprise him. Although the region appeared stable, the surrounding void was already twisted. One careless move could trap him in something like a spatial maze.

And yet, the space was also dangerously fragile. If Shang Xia tried to forcefully break through to reach the floating island, it might instantly cause the entire space to collapse, and possibly destroy the island in the process.

Still, that posed no real problem for him. Since the space was fragile and unstable, he could simply reinforce and stabilize it.

Tossing his Seven Star Mace, he started to form multiple hand seals. Streams of his inner qi flowed out from within him, and a phantom of the Seven Star Mace rose, towering like a celestial pillar.

That was his sixth martial intent, Six Harmony Supporting the Heavens!

The surrounding distorted space was forced open, and the previously fragile void was gradually strengthened. The floating island, though it seemed to recede slightly, was free for him to reach.

Putting away his Seven Star Mace, Shang Xia flew straight to the floating island. Behind him, the mace’s phantom still stood tall like a heavenly pillar, stabilizing the surrounding space.

Once he landed on the island, Shang Xia realized it was far larger than it had appeared from a distance.

Still, his divine soul swept across it in an instant, enveloping the entire island.

“

Hm

? Interesting. Could this residual world origin from the fallen world that once existed here?”

Shang Xia quickly noticed something unusual. His figure flickered to a certain spot on the island, and with a wave of his hand, a crack opened in the air, revealing a pool of liquefied world origin beneath.

To his surprise, there existed a small world origin source there, and the world origin within it unmistakably belonged to the lost Essence World.
