Chapter 578: Lying Bastards

After passing through the spatial barrier, the Tongyou Island flipped around completely. There was no way Shang Xia could remain in seclusion after the huge disturbance.

The first thing he did was to expand his divine perception to inspect everything on the island. He wanted to know what was going on.

Once he got a general idea of what was happening, the initial panic he felt started to die out. Calming down, he started to consolidate his gains after his secluded cultivation.

Things progressed as he expected. During the time the Tongyou Island was flying through space, Shang Xia managed to cross the 90 percent mark of the refinement of his extermination origins.

His dantian was further strengthened, and the amount of inner qi he could contain increased by 30 percent! At the same time, his extermination origins became purer than before.

Those weren’t all. When he extended his divine perception out previously, he could tell that the range had increased drastically.

The increase in his divine perception range was extremely obvious, especially in the current environment.

Other than the transformation to his dantian and divine perception brought about by the increase in cultivation, Shang Xia could feel that his combat strength and every other aspect of his skills getting better.

From the start when he started to refine his Four Seasons Extermination Origins simultaneously, to the current point in time when he was about to complete their refinement, he had been improving every step of the way. He would experience tiny transformations whenever he grew stronger, and it seemed as though it was only going to continue until he completed the refinement process.

…

Obviously, there was no way either island wouldn’t discover the other now that they were merely hundreds of miles away. The foreign island was at least 1300 miles in diameter while the Tongyou Island’s remaining size was still a massive 1800 or so miles.

With them flying straight at each other, it wouldn’t take long before these 2 behemoths collided.

No matter if they were experts from the Tongyou Island or the Great Observation Sect, neither could react in time. Chaos broke out on both sides.

The Formation Grandmasters on either island were trying their best to steer away, but no matter how they looked at it, it was too late.

Seeing as both islands were drawing closer and closer, cultivators on both sides seemed to be able to observe what experts on the other side were doing.

3 rays of light shot into the space above the Tongyou Island as Yun Jing brought Liu Qinglan and Liu Jikun towards the Great Observation Island.

At the same time, experts on the other side reacted almost instantly. 3 streaks of extermination light tore through space and headed for Yun Jing and the others.

The moment the islands collided, there was only one ending. Both sides would suffer catastrophic damage.

As such, the meeting between the experts on both sides would definitely not be hostile. They should be trying to come up with an idea on how to reduce the damage on both sides.

It seemed to be the case as the experts on both sides met for a moment to discuss their plans before returning to their respective islands.

As both sides tried to slow down, they started to move in opposite directions in order to avoid the other party.

Shang Xia could see everything clearly from his mountain. The Tongyou Island was veering left, while the Great Observation Island was moving to the right.

That wasn’t all. Both islands were tilting away from each other in an attempt to reduce the area of impact.

Despite trying their best to slow down, the distance between them was still shrinking rapidly. When they discovered each other earlier, they were hundreds of miles apart. Now, they were merely 50 miles apart and closing. 30, 20, 10…

Luckily, both sides prioritized shifting to the side while tilting their islands. The area that would hit the other island was minimal, and both sides would suffer as little as possible.

Right before the collision was about to occur, the experts on the Tongyou Island braced for impact. Shang Xia, who had been sitting down in his cultivation cave all the time while using his divine perception to observe the situation outside leaped to his feet. His gaze turned chilly as he glared at the Great Observation Island.

“Oh no! The Great Observation Sect is going to play dirty!” Shang Bo’s voice rang in everyone’s mind the same moment Shang Xia stood up.

The moment the words left his lips, the Great Observation Island started to emit a brilliant glow.

.

Because both islands were tilted to the side, the experts of the Tongyou Island couldn’t see what was happening on the other side. By the time they noticed the glow, it was too late for the ordinary experts to take action.

Yun Jing also knew that they were played by the other party, and she flew towards them in a hurry. She yelled through space, “Huo Guanzhang, is your Great Observation Sect going to go back on its words?”

A booming laughter came from the other side. “Deputy Patriarch Yun, our islands will definitely be damaged if we crash into each other. If I cut off a piece of your island, we can avoid the collision entirely! That will definitely ensure both sides suffer the least losses. How can you blame me for this?”

Gritting her teeth, Yun Jing growled, “Yeah? But you’re planning to cut off a portion of our island while yours remains unscathed!”

The booming laughter continued. “Well, I’ll owe you one. Also, we’ll just slice off a hundred miles or so. Your Tongyou Island is so much bigger than ours to begin with. You won’t care so much about a hundred miles or so, right?”

“You… You… You’re something else alright! Huo Guanzhang, I, Yun Jing, will definitely repay this favor to your Great Observation Sect in the future!” Yun Jing was at a loss for words and she could only spit out a set of threats.

Guo Guanzhang maintained a haughty look on his face as his voice transmitted over again. “This matter has been decided by me and me alone. Everyone else had no choice but to follow my instructions. What has this got to do with my Great Observation Sect? Deputy Patriarch Yun, as the Deputy Patriarch of the Tongyou Institution, you can’t take your anger out on whoever you please.”

Their conversation passed really quickly as the light surrounding the Great Observation Island grew stronger and stronger. It was clearly reaching its peak and the moment it erupted, it was going to cause massive damage.”

With things progressing up to that point, even if the Tongyou Island wanted to put up any final countermeasures, it would be too late.

Obviously, the powerful attack that was coming their way wasn’t the result of an expert or two gathering energy. They definitely enlisted the use of their grand formation and it was probably powered by several Martial Extermination Realm experts.

“Come back! We can’t stop it anymore! We should think about how we should continue to deal with the aftermath!” Shang Bo’s voice entered her ears. Seeing her swaying figure in mid space, Shang Bo could tell that she had the urge to charge into the Great Observation Island and wreak havoc. He quickly stopped her.

Yun Jing also knew that it was possible they were angering her on purpose. If she really rushed over to their island, she might run head-first into a trap.

Now that Shang Bo had spoken, she quickly returned to the island.

“They’re killing 2 birds with 1 stone here. Not only can they damage our island and weaken our foundations to fight for the World’s Will, but we’ll be the only ones taking a loss.” Shang Bo sighed.

Regaining her calm, Yun Jing could feel Shang Bo’s aura starting to leak from his body and a frown appeared on her face. “Are you planning to make a move?! If they manage to force a Half-Step Martial Dipper Realm expert like yourself to exhaust your energy here, they’ll benefit once more! If that happens, they’re going to be killing 3 birds with 1 stone…”
