Chapter 914: Target: Dugu Yuanshan

“Spirit Luxuriant World!”

The moment the name rang in their minds, Shang Xia once again felt the blessing of the World’s Will on him.

This time, the world origin didn’t just target an individual or any singular group. Instead, every single person in the Azure Ascension World... No. Everyone in the Spirit Luxuriant World felt the blessing on them! From cultivators to ordinary mortals, no one was an exception!

The most obvious change was how the cultivators of the Spirit Luxuriant World fighting above the heavenly screen restored their inner qi and returned to their peak state.

If they were to add the assistance of the world and the extra boost some experts received from their Holy Lands or Elysiums, they would be able to fight against 2 experts of the same level with no problems!

That was what was happening in the space around the Spirit Luxuriant World, and Shang Xia didn’t remain idle either! He planned to use the chance to refine his last set of fate dipper essence.

Li Jidao, who was sent flying back into the Divine Capital Elysium during the exchange with Zhao Wuhen earlier, emerged once again. Shang Xia thought that he would have suffered heavy injuries, but Li Jidao actually managed to recover so quickly! He didn’t seem much weaker than before he was struck by Zhao Wuhen.

The World’s Will blessing clearly allowed him to recover with extreme speed. Even though he wasn’t able to restore his combat abilities to his peak state, but it was good enough to maintain his current state! He was much stronger than Zhao Wuhen who needed Xiong Chunyang and Dugu Yuanshan’s help from time to time!

As soon as Li Jidao emerged from the Divine Capital Elysium, he didn’t dally too much. He merely shot Shang Xia a quick glance before heading down south. He passed through the Yong and Jing Continents to arrive somewhere close to the Jiao Continent to take part in the battle between Martial Void Realm experts!

Li Jidao, who was borrowing the world origin from the Yong, Bing and Qing Continents, was greatly weakened when he headed over to fight. His combat abilities were significantly reduced. He was a lot weaker than Yang Taihe who wasn’t too far away above the Shu Continent.

Like Yang Taihe, Li Jidao didn’t join the battle directly. He merely provided support at the side.

With 4 Martial Void Realm experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World acting together, the Martial Void Realm experts of the Spirit Abundance World were starting to lose their ground. The situation that had changed several times over tilted to the other side once again!

Shang Xia, who was refining his fate dipper essences with the blessing of the World’s Will, was rudely awakened when he recalled Kou Chongxue’s reminder.

Under such circumstances, it wasn’t time for him to focus on cultivation! At the very least, not in front of so many people!

Actually, Shang Xia benefited greatly from the transformation of the Azure Ascension World to the Spirit Luxuriant World. He was able to develop his rank five arts to an extremely high level that bordered on perfection.

At his current level, Shang Xia didn’t need to care about the type of fate dipper essence or its Yin Yang alignment. As long as he refined any sort of fate dipper essence, he would be able to transform it into whatever he wished!

After killing so many experts from the Spirit Abundance World, Shang Xia had gathered more than enough fate dipper essences! That was also why Shang Xia thought of refining his last set of fate dipper essences the moment the World’s Will blessing descended. He wanted to push himself into the large completion stage of the Martial Dipper Realm! In fact, that was what his instincts were telling him to do.

Fortunately, Kou Chongxue noticed something strange about Shang Xia and sent a voice transmission over to snap him out of it.

Shang Xia also recalled that his cultivation had been increasing too quickly and his control of his Five Element Dipper Qi wasn’t as refined as before. That was why his instincts could sway his state of mind.

Quickly adjusting his condition, Shang Xia gave up his plan to refine his last set of fate dipper essences. He also prepared to involve himself in the battle happening over the Jiao Continent.

The World’s Will blessing wouldn’t just disappear the next second and there was no actual need for Shang Xia to be in such a rush to refine his fate dippers.

Shang Xia hurriedly left the Yong Continent after reaching his conclusion and headed south to the borders of the Jiao Continent.

The route he took was clearly different from Li Jidao. First, he passed the Jing Continent before turning to the Yu Continent. Finally, he entered the Beyond Heavens Pavilion of the Yang Continent and chose to widen the distance between himself and Li Jidao before preparing to join the chaos.

Shang Xia’s actions made it too damn obvious. The only thing he didn’t do was openly state how he didn’t trust Li Jidao at that point. Earlier, Li Jidao didn’t bother reminding him about his strange state when he passed by and if they didn’t look too deep into it, they could say that Li Jidao didn’t wish to disrupt Shang Xia’s cultivation. He could also argue that with Shang Xia’s current strength where he possessed power comparable to a Martial Void Realm expert, there was no need for Li Jidao to call him out in terms of cultivation.

However, that wasn’t actually the case. Li Jidao didn’t bother reminding him about his current situation. If he tried to refine his fate dipper essences and was interrupted by an expert from the Spirit Abundance World, injuries would be the least of his problems. He might even experience cultivation deviation and die!

Whatever it was, Shang Xia was still a Martial Dipper Realm expert at the end of the day. If he was caught off guard, there were many people who could still kill him!

Li Jidao clearly understood what was going on. He might not have attacked Shang Xia directly, but he didn’t bother reminding the youngster either. Instead, he allowed Shang Xia to be swayed by his instincts! He clearly harbored bad intentions.

One had to know that Shang Xia just helped him to gain the upper hand over Zhao Wuhen after considering the general situation!

With Li Jidao making it so obvious, Shang Xia had to raise his guard as well. It was especially so when they had completely turned the tides of battle with the Spirit Luxuriant World completely taking shape!

Arriving at the border of the Jiao Continent, Shang Xia didn’t recklessly enter the battle where 7 Martial Void Realm experts were fighting. Instead, he started to store energy within the Stellar Cauldron.

With the experience of working with Yang Taihe and Li Jidao to injure their opponents, Shang Xia gained an elementary understanding of the strength he wielded.

He knew that he wouldn’t be useless in a battle of such proportions, but he needed to store enough power to even disrupt an expert in the second tier of the Martial Void Realm.

Other than that, Shang Xia also noticed that his divine will became countless times stronger than before. Even with the battlefield in such chaos, he was still able to accurately detect the positions of the 3 Martial Void Realm experts from the Spirit Abundance World!

An idea formed in his mind. He had a feeling he would be able to use his Five Element Dipper Qi that was strengthened by the Stellar Cauldron to lock on to and restrain the person he chose!

As for the Martial Void Realm expert he could choose... It had to be Zhao Wuhen who had been greatly weakened and was far weaker than the other 2!

Shang Xia started to store his energy in the Stellar Cauldron while tracking Zhao Wuhen with his divine will.

Very quickly, Shang Xia noticed what was going on. Because of Zhao Wuhen’s drop in abilities, Xiong Chunyang and Dugu Yuanshan were supporting him every time they had excess energy.

Facing 4 Martial Void Realm experts from the Spirit Luxuriant World, Zhao Wuhen was naturally their target of attacks since he was the weakest link!

Shang Xia’s presence at the border of the battlefield couldn’t be hidden from any of them. The Martial Void Realm experts from the Spirit Abundance World felt his presence the moment he arrived, and for him to not attack immediately, even a fool could tell he was storing his power. The moment he made his move, he would definitely target Zhao Wuhen.

As such, Dugu Yuanshan and Xiong Chunyang were making preparations to stop Shang Xia. Even Zhao Wuhen knew that Shang Xia was most likely gunning for him.

Since that was the case, they would just play along with it and turn the situation around.

Huang Yu’s words rang in his mind the next second.

“If you get the chance to kill or heavily injure any Martial Void Realm expert of the Spirit Abundance World, you have to target Dugu Yuanshan!”

The only problem with that was... Dugu Yuanshan was a third tier Martial Void Realm expert! He was one of the strongest experts the Spirit Abundance World sent over and even if he was caught off guard, Shang Xia wasn’t confident he could restrain the other party.

Wouldn’t he be a little out of his league if he went for Dugu Yuanshan?

Shang Xia hesitated slightly when Kou Chongxue’s voice rang in his mind. “What do you plan to do?”

The experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World also noticed Shang Xia’s hesitation and felt that he was up to something strange.

“Disciple is thinking of whether I have the ability to trap Dugu Yuanshan for a moment!” Shang Xia didn’t hesitate to share with Kou Chongxue what he was thinking.

The reason they would attempt to restrain an expert of the Spirit Abundance World would be to heavily injure or kill him! The moment that happened, the attempt to invade the Spirit Luxuriant World would fail completely. As such, all of them needed to work together to catch the best opportunity to deal the decisive blow.

Kou Chongxue didn’t respond to Shang Xia’s decision immediately. Instead, he asked a question of his own. “When the person fighting Yang Taihe was heavily injured, was it because you restrained his movements?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, there should be no problem then! We’ll target Dugu Yuanshan!” Kou Chongxue spoke decisively.
