Chapter 846: Southern Yanlin Continent.

In a fit of anger, Kou Chongxue swung his sword 5 times in succession. Under the dumbfounded expression of everyone present, he killed a Martial Sage with similar cultivation levels and was also wielding a divine weapon.

Even after killing him, the remnant energy contained in his sword qi tore a hole thousands of miles across the heavenly screen!

The strength he displayed not only shocked the Martial Sages of the Azure Flame World. Even the Martial Dipper Realm experts from the Azure Ascension World were greatly taken aback. The chaotic battle that had been raging paused temporarily.

Beside the light rings that held the original gap in the heavenly screen open, Yifeng screamed in his strange voice, “What the fuck! Even I won’t be able to block his attack earlier! Did Asshole Kou manage to comprehend his martial intent in the Martial Dipper Realm and enter the grand completion stage?”

Huang Jinghan turned to look at him with a serious expression. “He hasn’t yet, but he’s just a little bit off earlier. He was interrupted by the cultivator of the Azure Flame World right before he could and it seems as though he really got angry.”

Jiu Du chuckled softly at the side. “Heh, that’s what happens when someone stops you from pursuing the dao. Anyone would get angry when that happens.”

Even though Lu Wuzi was greatly weakened after 2 of the light rings had shattered, his insight didn’t lose to any of the 3 swordsmen of the Azure Ascension World. He sneered coldly, “Didn’t you see the Origin Holy Artifact boosting his power earlier? That’s how he managed to erupt with such terrifying abilities and close in on the grand completion stage of the Martial Dipper Realm. I’m afraid it also had something to do with how he nearly comprehended his martial intent!”

Yifeng sighed, “Looks like the boost from the Origin Holy Artifact is really impressive...”

Glancing at each other, Huang Jinghan and Jiu Du seemed to connect the dots after hearing what Lu Wuzi said. Jiu Du eventually mumbled, “I’m afraid the Origin Holy Artifact has nothing to do with it...”

Yifeng noticed the glance they shot at each other and he snapped immediately, “Is there something else we don’t know?!”

It was then that Kou Chongxue appeared above the Stellar Cauldron with a wide grin on his face. Dense world origin that was stored in the cauldron from the Azure Ascension World emerged, covered in five colored light.

The Stellar Cauldron started to fly towards the original gap in the heavenly screen that was held open by Lu Wuzi. Every single Martial Sage avoided it like the plague as it passed and no one even tried to stop it.

Huang Jinghan thought about it for a second and realized that it was a matter of time before Yifeng and Lu Wuzi found out for themselves. He decided to explain, “Don’t you find it a little weird that someone managed to activate the Origin Holy Artifact even though Kou Chongxue has been in the Azure Flame World the whole time? Do you think he would be able to do it with the 2 Fate Dipper Clones he left behind?”

Yifeng pressed his lips together and snorted, “Who knows?”

However, Lu Wuzi wasn’t as clueless as Yifeng regarding the matter. “A Fate Dipper Clone can’t possibly pull so much world origin with the Origin Holy Artifact to send everyone in the Celestial Remains to the heavenly screen outside the Azure Flame World!”

Finally, Jiu Du decided to reveal the answer. “It’s the newest Martial Dipper Realm disciple of the Tongyou Institution... You can consider him a third generation disciple, and his name is Shang Xia. His cultivation inheritance seems extremely special. Kou Chongxue and the Tongyou Institution did a good job of protecting him and sealing off any information about him. Not many people knew about information related to his cultivation and the most anyone could learn about him was that his talent in the ways of talisman crafting is very high!”

“Is he the one who killed Feng Yezi?” A lightbulb lit up in Yifeng’s mind.

Huang Jinghan sighed, “Exactly. Speaking of which, I’m a little ashamed of myself. He managed to barge into the forbidden region that contained the Stellar Cauldron even when I tried to stop him. Elder Jiu Du and I felt that something was wrong only after some time, and with the space contained in the Celestial Remains becoming extremely weak, we finally decided to charge in. Unfortunately, we were too late!”

The 4 peak-tier experts of the Azure Ascension World who were present fell silent.

By then, the Stellar Cauldron had closed in on the gap in the heavenly screen and there was a bunch of Martial Dipper Realm experts following behind.

Lu Wuzi stared at the Stellar Cauldron and Kou Chongxue who were getting closer and he sighed, “Looks like Kou Chongxue exhausted a great deal of energy after killing that person...”

As they streamed into the Azure Flame World, Lu Wuzi knew that there was no need to maintain the opening in the heavenly screen any longer. He started to retract the light rings produced by his Halo Mirror, but several loud scraping sounds could be heard as the surface of the mirror was damaged during the process. Lu Wuzi couldn’t help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

Without the support of the light rings, the heavenly screen started to repair itself. Several rash Martial Sages of the Azure Flame World rushed into the heavenly screen as it was sealing up, and they ended up at different distances from Lu Wuzi and the rest. The heavenly screen above the Azure Flame World seemed to serve the same purpose as the Beyond Heavens Pavilion of the Azure Ascension World where space worked differently.

One would be transported a huge distance the moment they crossed the Beyond Heavens Pavilion back in the Azure Ascension World, and it was how the true experts crossed large distances without taking their time to fly across the continents themselves.

Some experts who moved a little faster were still hundreds of miles away from Lu Wuzi and the rest, but some of them who charged in during the closure of the heavenly screen found themselves face to face with Lu Wuzi and the rest. Their fate could be imagined as miserable screams filled the air.

The reason why the experts of the Azure Ascension World didn’t experience what happened to the Martial Sages of the Azure Flame World and could stick together after passing through the heavenly screen was because of Lu Wuzi’s assistance!

Tens of thousands of miles on the surface of the world below could be crossed if one flew a mere 200 to 300 miles above the heavenly screen, and with that calculation alone, Kou Chongxue’s sword qi that tore a hole thousands of miles in the heavenly screen was basically a massive catastrophe that seemed to split the heavens open above the Azure Flame World.

Seeing how no other Martial Sages of the Azure Flame World rushed over other than the few who were slaughtered easily by squads of Martial Dipper Realm experts, it was clear that they also realized the problem. They wouldn’t dare to rush in recklessly only to be split up and easily dealt with by the experts of the Azure Ascension World.

Yifeng and the rest, who held the backlines, were extremely regretful of the chance they missed to shave off the strength of the Azure Flame World as no one would rush in to give their lives up for nothing.

Finally, they started to close in on the Southern Yanlin Continent of the Azure Flame World. Many experts from the Azure Ascension World felt a stronger sense of rejection from the World’s Will, and it was especially so after Shang Xia no longer released world origin he stored from the Azure Ascension World. The sense of rejection started to affect their ability to circulate their dipper qi and it caused their combat strength to drop by a small realm!

“Things might get troublesome now...” Lu Wuzi and the other peak-tier existences of the Azure Ascension World were affected by the rejection from the World’s Will the most. Under such circumstances, even recovering to their peak state would prove to be challenging.

“There are already people gathering below. After the Origin Holy Artifact lands, we might even have a good show to watch!” Yifeng’s way of thinking was clearly different from the rest as he didn’t seem too concerned about their lack of ability to recover quickly.

Huang Jinghan swept his gaze below, but he didn’t say a word. It was clear he was still trying to get used to the strange sense of rejection he was feeling from the world.

Jiu Du sighed helplessly. “Looks like all of us will still have to help Kou Chongxue stabilize the situation after we arrive to prevent some short-sighted bastards from ruining it for everyone...”

Huang Jinghan might still be silent, but he seemed to agree with Jiu Du.

With an exaggerated look of shock on his face, Yifeng gasped. “Don’t you want to see Kou Chongxue in trouble?”

Rolling their eyes silently, Huang Jinghan, Jiu Du, and Lu Wuzi were too lazy to bother with him or to give him any explanation for the time being. They merely increased their speed as they flew towards the land below.

The experts of the Azure Ascension World had gathered below and when they saw the arrival of the Origin Holy Artifact, all of them started to rush over aggressively. However, they seemed to recall that the crazy Kou Chongxue was still present and they didn’t dare to get too close.

Shang Xia also appeared the next moment and he stared coldly at those who were approaching the Stellar Cauldron. The moment the cauldron landed, a massive five colored light ring appeared and pushed everyone away. Martial Extermination Realm experts were thrown into the air while most Martial Dipper Realm experts were forced to take several steps back.

Everyone's faces changed when they felt the powerful wave that slammed into them.
