Chapter 904: Blessing from the World, Ascension!

The Azure Ascension World had completed its transformation!

With the various powers sacrificing their land for the ascension, the process was greatly hastened.

In the next moment, Shang Xia felt the world around him growing a lot more spacious and the feeling of oppression in his heart was greatly reduced.

The connection between the World’s Will and every existence born in the Azure Ascension World was strengthened, and everyone could feel the joy the World’s Will was feeling after the transformation process was complete.

As someone who had reached the limits of cultivation in the Azure Ascension World, Shang Xia might not feel the restraint and suppression of the world too obviously when cultivating, but whenever he tried, he would feel a sense of constraint as though he was trapped in a tiny room. If he wasn’t careful, he was afraid he would damage the fabric of space around him.

There were many times when he would rather head out to the Beyond Heavens Pavilion or hide in the Tongyou Paradise in order to avoid the feeling of constraint.

He wasn’t the only one who felt that way. Many experts in the Martial Dipper Realm had the same feeling.

After all, the Martial Dipper Realm was the limit of whatever the Azure Ascension World could take!

If they had to talk about experts in the Martial Void Realm like Liu Jingsheng and the rest, they would be unable to leave their Elysiums the moment they broke through! The only way they could appear in the outside world was if they appeared in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion or space around the Azure Ascension World.

Their situation was comparable to the Martial Dipper Realm experts who broke through with the help of their Holy Lands. Even if they left their Elysiums for the sea of stars, they wouldn’t be able to go too far as they were still shackled to their Elysiums.

...

The moment the Azure Ascension World completed its transformation process, Shang Xia felt the tiny cramped room he was in growing in size. Not only did it become a lot wider, the feeling of oppression was no longer there! He could do whatever he wanted, no longer bound by the limits of his cultivation!

After the transformations, experts like Shang Xia who were in the Martial Dipper Realm felt a lot smaller than before. The world gained the qualifications to house even stronger experts!

In other words, from that moment on, the Martial Void Realm experts who were only able to venture out from the Beyond Heavens Pavilion would finally be able to experience stepping into their own world for a change!

Of course, that wasn’t everything the transformation brought about.

The ascension of the world naturally affected the lives and fate of every living creature bred from it. The moment the transformation was complete, a new Spirit World was starting to form! The most direct impact was the World Will’s blessing given to the experts who helped the ascension process.

The greater their contributions, the greater the blessing they received!

In the Tongyou Paradise, Yun Jing, who had been adjusting her condition quietly to prepare for her ascension, suddenly felt as though she could see through the world around her as a moment of unprecedented clarity filled her mind. Gathering her inner qi, she reached a state like never before. Her instincts told her that if she failed to make use of the chance to break through, she would never be able to get a better opportunity!

She had always been a decisive person. She immediately swallowed the advancement medicine that had been developed and improved by Kou Chongxue, Ji Wenlong, and Shang Bo.

Among the great powers of the Azure Ascension World, anyone who had the qualifications to break through to the Martial Dipper Realm had already started making preparations a long time ago. Using the opportunity of world ascension, they took the chance and made their attempt.

Without a doubt, most of those experts came from the large factions of the Azure Ascension World. After all, only those great powers still had the ability to resist the invasion of those from the Spirit Abundance World to buy enough time for their Martial Extermination Realm experts to break through.

If they managed to resist the invasion and continue to live on as a Spirit World, god knew how many more experts would be able to advance.

...

Over at the Tongyou Institution, many experts were also waiting for the chance to advance. However, most of them were trying to enter the Martial Intent or Martial Extermination Realm. Other than Yun Jing, there were no other attempts to enter the Martial Dipper Realm. Sun Haiwei, who comprehended her martial intent and reached the grand completion stage of the Martial Extermination Realm back at the Azure Flame World, had to consolidate her foundations due to her rapid increase in strength.

Yun Jing’s advancement had been planned for some time, and it wasn’t anything surprising at all. However, what shocked Shang Bo and Ji Wenlong was what was happening to Shang Xia who was beside them!

With their divine wills, they could tell that the aura around Shang Xia was transforming at a rapid pace. A strange phenomenon would appear along with his fluctuating aura and the power it contained started to rise.

Is he.... Is he growing even stronger/!

Shang Bo and Ji Wenlong knew that Shang Xia was refining his fate dippers simultaneously.

In the Tongyou Institution, everyone was influenced by Shang Xia’s theory of the five elements and Kou Chongxue was no exception. They also knew that it was Shang Xia’s primary cultivation method and greatly reduced the largest risk every Martial Dipper Realm expert would experience. The risk of fate dipper disequilibrium would be lowered to a minimum!

It’s just... didn’t this kid already reach a new level of cultivation since his return from the Azure Flame World?! How is he doing it again?!

From the powerful and rapid strengthening of the aura around him, they could tell that his speed of refining fate dipper essences was extremely quick. It was so fast that it was bordering on a level that shouldn’t be possible!

As for how Shang Xia managed to gather the necessary fate dipper essences... Shang Bo and Ji Wenlong didn’t doubt that he had been able to obtain them in the first place.

After all, god knows how many experts died to Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue in the Azure Flame World. Back in the Sword Valley, there were also 2 experts of extraordinary background from the Spirit Abundance World who were killed by Shang Xia. Obtaining fate dipper essences should be a piece of cake for him.

What they didn’t know was that during the transformation process, Shang XIa managed to pop the final bottleneck of his Five Elements Art with the blessing of the World’s Will. After all, he was a great contributor to the world ascension and the blessing he received was extremely substantial. With the assistance of the World’s Will, he was able to push his Five Element Arts into a near-perfect state.

With its improvement, Shang Xia no longer had to care about the elemental properties of the fate dipper essences he was refining. He could transform them at will after refining any type of fate dipper essence, and it greatly lowered his difficulty of cultivation!

In other words, Shang Xia no longer needed to care about the type of fate dipper essence he was refining! As long as he had enough of them, there would be no stopping his rise!

Using the assistance of the World’s Will blessing, Shang Xia completed the refinement of his ninth set of fate dipper essences at a speed that left everyone dumbstruck.

With that, he would only need to refine the last set of fate dipper essences before reaching the large completion stage of the Martial Dipper Realm!

Before Shang Xia could familiarize himself with his increased strength and restrain his aura, the Azure Ascension World was truly turning into a Spirit World.

If Shang Xia could take a look at the world that very instant, he would see that everything would be growing bigger and taller!

The ocean expanded greatly, and the water level started to fall. Large swathes of land were revealed and new continents were revealed.

However, the transformation of the world seemed far from complete. In fact, the process was too damn slow!

...

The area 100,000 miles around the Azure Ascension World was split into several special regions. Of them, one contained a massive meteorite belt, and another was filled with cosmic dust. The last was filled with historical remains that remained unidentified. There was also the region of sealed space 30,000 miles from the Beyond Heavens Pavilion where the first battle against the Spirit Abundance World took place.

Along with the transformation of the Azure Ascension World, the first of those regions to move was the sealed space. It started to shift as it fused back into the Azure Ascension World.

Cosmic dust in the surroundings of the Azure Ascension World was also affected by the rapidly expanding world and they eventually transformed into a giant nebula [1] that rushed at the Beyond Heavens Pavilion where it was quickly swallowed.

Amidst the falling nebula, the region that contained the historical remains started to crumble. Debris fell towards the Azure Ascension World and passed through the Beyond Heavens Pavilion to crash into the ground and oceans below.

That wasn’t all. The meteorite belt that Shang Xia and the rest patrolled back then also became attracted to the Azure Ascension World. Meteors of different sizes fell through the Beyond Heavens Pavilion and produced an endless meteor shower. A good portion of it landed on the desolate regions of the world, but there were also some that smashed into the continents and brought about great calamities.

When the special regions 100,000 miles around the Azure Ascension World were cleared out and swallowed, the landmass of the Azure Ascension World had reached a terrifying level.

Many islands appeared in the great ocean and new continents were produced.

Amidst the chaos, the Azure Ascension World was finally turning into a Spirit World!

Other than the core regions of the various factions that were protected by their experts and their grand formations, a scene of destruction could be seen everywhere. The experts from the Spirit Abundance World who had infiltrated the Azure Ascension World couldn’t help but stop whatever they were doing. Even those who were above the heavenly screen had to retreat when faced with the falling meteors, debris, and nebula. If they were struck, they would suffer some injuries even at their level.

Of course, they weren’t the only ones affected by the change. The experts of the Azure Ascension World were also facing huge pressure from what was happening, but it was still much better than fighting the experts of the Spirit Abundance World! At least they managed to catch a breather.

The only ones who weren’t affected were the Martial Void Realm existences who were still fighting.

No... Something isn’t right!

Along with the successful transformation of the world, the Martial Void Realm experts and Kou Chongxue received another boost in strength.

All of them had been able to fight on the same level as their opponents with the assistance of the World’s Will when the invasion just started. Now that they received yet another boost, the situation was finally taking a turn for the better!

The most obvious sign of that would be the giant gloomy mountain that was pressing down on the Jiao Continent. No one knew when, but it was starting to be pushed back up. It seemed as though the divine weapon could no longer suppress Liu Jingsheng and Kou Chongxue!
