Chapter 883: Big Guns. BIG Guns

How would the battle between Martial Void Realm experts take place?

Back during the first battle with the Spirit Abundance World 30,000 miles away from the Beyond Heavens Pavilion, the Martial Void Realm experts of the then 3 Elysiums created a region of sealed space in order to intercept the invasion.

The exchange between the Martial Void Realm experts happened in the void back, and the Martial Dipper Realm experts of both sides were unable to catch a single glimpse of it.

All they observed or felt were the opening of spatial tunnels or the destruction of sealed space back then.

Even though the Martial Void Realm experts of the Spirit Abundance World personally descended and fought with the Ancestors from the 4 Elysiums, the cultivators in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion were still unable to witness their exchange.

Not being able to see their battle was one thing, but the depression of the heavenly screen happened right in front of their eyes. When it happened, they felt as though the heavenly screen would be torn apart the next moment.

The Azure Ascension World’s Will seemed to have been jolted awake by someone as a powerful wave of energy emerged from the world. It was like a massive pillar that propped the heavenly screen back up.

The emotions of the experts of the Azure Ascension World barely calmed down a little when they heard a massive blast. The world trembled once, and they felt as though they were about to lose their footing in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion.

When they turned to look at the source of the disturbance, they noticed that the space above the Jiao Continent had turned chaotic. The only thing that remained was the Ruined Star Observatory!

Without a doubt, the space above the Jiao Continent was where the battle between the experts in the Martial Void Realm was taking place!

“Everyone, retreat from the Beyond Heavens Pavilion above the Jiao Continent!”

Even without the warning, the cultivators of the Azure Ascension World wouldn’t remain there. They fled from the region of chaos as quickly as they could.

The exchange between Martial Void Realm experts didn’t seem to threaten their lives directly. Instead, they seemed to be vying for the control of the Azure Ascension World.

Just as the cultivators in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion calmed their emotions from the sudden change in situation, many Martial Dipper Realm experts discovered countless rays of light shooting towards them from the depths of the sea of stars.

The Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Spirit Abundance World finally passed through those spatial tunnels and rushed to the Azure Ascension World!

In the void 10,000 miles away, there might only be 2 spatial tunnels left, but they could send 2 to 4 Martial Dipper Realm experts through each time!

In the previous battle, the Emptiness Drifting Mountain, Azure Island, and Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake didn’t send anyone under the second element of the Martial Dipper Realm. This time, their average battle strength was even more exaggerated. The Spirit Abundance World didn’t bother sending anyone under the third element of the Martial Dipper Realm!

The foundations and strength of the Spirit Abundance World were terrifying indeed... The experts of the Azure Ascension World couldn’t help but tremble slightly in the face of such an enemy.

Of course, no matter how strong they were, they had been transported through the vast sea of stars and were fighting outside the Azure Ascension World.

The experts of the Azure Ascension World held the geographical advantage, especially since they were fighting so close to the heavenly screen. It wasn’t as though they would be helpless against their enemies!

With the threat of invasion, the Azure Ascension World’s Will behaved like every other World’s Will out there. It went all out to suppress the experts of the other side!

One had to know that even after the Azure Flame World had a portion of its energy absorbed by Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia, its backlash nearly caused the experts of the Azure Ascension World to be completely wiped out. If not for the fact that they could maintain the core region of the Yanlin City, everything they did would have been wasted.

That was the Azure Flame World, an ordinary Azure World. The Azure Ascension World was no elementary or ordinary Azure World! The power of its World’s Will far surpassed that of the Azure Flame World! The suppression it brought about was truly astounding.

The Martial Dipper Realm expert who advanced with the help of their Elysiums and Holy Lands felt their strength increasing close to 20 percent. The increase in strength was comparable if they refined a new fate dipper essence each!

Of course, the boost they received would decrease according to their cultivation realms. However, a boost was a boost and the collective strength of the experts of the Azure Ascension World increased greatly!

As for those who advanced to the Martial Dipper Realm through their own abilities, they might not be able to receive as much of a boost, but their increase in strength wasn’t trivial either! Since none of them were restricted to their continents, they could move freely above the Beyond Heavens Pavilion. They could enter and exit the heavenly screen however they liked, and their survivability far surpassed those who advanced with the help of their factions.

Other than the Martial Dipper Realm experts, the Martial Extermination Realm experts were also assisted by the World’s Will. They joined hands to create battle formations to forcefully resist the incoming Martial Dipper Realm experts.

Normally, with such a boost, they would be able to stop an ordinary Martial Dipper Realm expert when working together. However, the experts sent by the Spirit Abundance World were anything but ordinary!

Gathering together in their formations, the Martial Extermination Realm experts felt unstoppable with the boost from the World’s Will. They received a reality check really quickly when the experts of the Spirit Abundance World arrived. More than a dozen of their battle formations were blown to bits as dozens of Martial Extermination Realm experts suffered heavy injuries or were killed directly. If the situation got a little worse, the cultivators of the Azure Ascension World would have been thrown into utter chaos.

Fortunately, the Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Elysiums took action. They seemed to bring out everything they had to fight the enemy. Drawing every ounce of their power and foundations, they risked it all to fight the Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Spirit Abundance World. They barely managed to hold the other side back.

Using the lives of 8 Martial Dipper Realm experts in exchange, the experts of the Azure Ascension World managed to prevent the heavenly screen from being torn open.

...

Unlike the situation where the Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Elysiums were fighting, the Beyond Heavens Pavilion above the You Continent was relatively safer.

Shang Bo and Ji Wenlong were the only Martial Dipper Realm experts situated there, but their cultivation had reached the second element of the Martial Dipper Realm. With the assistance of the World’s Will, they possessed abilities comparable to a third element Martial Dipper Realm expert.

The experts of the Spirit Abundance World took turns to attack and the 2 of them were forced to their limits quickly. However, defending the heavenly screen above the You Continent didn’t pose too much of a problem.

What's more, the Tongyou Institution’s foundations had been improving in recent years. The number of Martial Extermination Realm experts in their ranks experienced an explosive rise and they were even comparable to several older super factions.

With Chu Jia’s help, Shang Xia’s Extremity Yin Yang Battle Formation was greatly improved. Martial Extermination Realm experts could make use of it and the strength they could display even surpassed the battle formations used by those in the Elysiums!

The more important part of it was the fact that Shang Xia’s Extremity Yin Yang Battle Formation was theoretically not limited by the number of people who could be a part of the battle formation. As long as the battle formation was used properly and the flow of energy was not disrupted, the more people in the battle formation, the stronger it would become!

Naturally, it was impossible for everyone to join the battle formation. After all, the greater the number of people, the more complex the flow of energy and they would have to control their inner qi with more precision. As long as anyone messed it up, the battle formation would crumble.

As such, the institution reached a conclusion. Ideally, 2 to 7 people would be able to use the battle formation, and in extreme cases, there could be 9 Martial Extermination Realm experts in the formation. Otherwise, everyone would suffer a backlash when the battle formation crumbles and there would be no need to fight the opponent.

With their battle formation, the Tongyou Institution fared a lot better than the other factions. The most obvious sign was how the Martial Extermination Realm experts of the various factions were heavily injured or killed after the first exchange. The experts of the institution managed to hold off the first round of attack without a single death!

The Tongyou Institution might be holding out better than the rest, but that was merely relative. They were still in a pretty shit situation. As the battle dragged on and the experts of the Spirit Abundance World continued to pour in, they eventually fell into a dangerous situation. The Martial Extermination Realm experts of the Tongyou Institution also started to suffer some casualties.

Despite their members dying, Shang Bo and Ji Wenlong couldn’t do a thing about it. It wasn’t because they were heartless, but they were just stretched too thin. Facing the ever-increasing number of Martial Dipper Realm experts from the Spirit Abundance World, the experts of the Azure Ascension world could only retreat again and again. The heavenly screen had been broken several times and several Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Spirit Abundance World had already entered the world.

They were being suppressed in all directions!

After all, Kou Chongxue and the strongest batch of Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Azure Ascension World weren’t present. There was also a need to mention how they brought away more than a hundred Martial Extermination Realm experts as every cultivator mattered at the moment.

As the number of experts from the Spirit Abundance World increased, those in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion started to feel a trace of anxiousness overwhelming them.

Even though those experts would be greatly suppressed after they entered the world, they would still possess fighting capabilities at the Martial Dipper Realm. There was nearly no Martial Extermination Realm expert left down below anyway, and they could basically do as they liked!

The various Elysiums and Holy Lands might have a few Martial Extermination Realm experts holding their grand formation to resist a strike or two from those invaders, but there were countless smaller factions that didn’t possess the foundations of those powers!

Their foundations which had been built over dozens, if not hundreds of years, wouldn’t stand up to a single strike from those invaders!

Finally, Zhang Xuansheng’s voice came from above the heavenly screen. “Everyone, do not panic and hold the line! As the patriarch of the Northern Sea Mystic Sect, I promise to make up for all the losses you suffer after this ends!”

The other Martial Void Realm experts of the Azure Ascension World quickly followed his lead. Li Jidao of the Divine Capital Sect, Yang Taihe of the Eternal Palace, and Liu Jingsheng also made the same promise.”

With their assurance, those in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion knew what they had to do. Even though the heavenly screen was still torn apart from time to time, they managed to resist a good part of the invasion.

It was then that Dugu Yuanshan’s enraged cry came from the void. “Jiang Guannan, Xu Chong, what the fuck are you up to?!”

𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

A moment later, Jiang Guannan’s voice rang clearly in the minds of everyone present. “Zhang Xiansheng is a little weird... No... it’s the power of the Elysium backing him that’s the problem! Huh?! You... You’re actually at the second tier of the Martial Void Realm?!”

A trace of shock could be heard in her voice when she finally discovered the abnormality.

When everyone was focused on the battle happening in front of them, and as holes were being torn apart in the heavenly screen above the Jiao Continent, a change finally happened to the Star Observatory that Liu Jingsheng was desperately trying to protect.

A brilliant beam of light fell from the depths of space. It was so bright that there was no way it could be hidden from anyone. It fell directly onto the Star Observator as a spatial vortex was formed. A giant three-legged bronze cauldron emerged from the vortex and landed on the Star Observatory the next moment.

The instant it appeared, a frosty light emerged from the void and slammed viciously against it.
