Chapter 948: Superhero Landing?

Seeing as Captain Feng was also able to withstand the shockwaves of the battle between so many Martial Void Realm True Immortals, Shang Xia couldn’t help but sigh inwardly about how the Star Origin Guards deserve their reputation as the executioners of the Star Origin Lord. They truly possessed crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

He didn’t know that Captain Feng was even more shocked to discover Shang Xia still standing, much less in front of her!

In her eyes, she was a Star Origin Guard! She had the Star Robes that gave the ability to draw on the power of other Star Origin Guards, and the protection formation around the Star Relay. That was the only reason she was able to last for so long. However, she was at her limit after the final exchange that happened earlier.

Her vision was completely blurry at the moment and her divine will was a mess. She couldn’t observe the battle clearly at all.

The only reason she was forcing herself to stay was to see how long the mysterious youngster she couldn’t see through could last!

However, from the way he turned to glance at her, it was clear that she wouldn’t be able to last that long and watch him reach his limits!

The moment the next Martial Void Realm True Immortal joined the battle, she would probably have to leave the confines of the protection formation. Otherwise, her dao path would be affected and her divine will might be at risk of shattering.

This young and mysterious expert from the Spirit Luxuriant World...

From his expression earlier, she could tell that he faced a lot less pressure than herself!

How... How is he able to do it?!

Captain Feng’s attention was no longer placed on the battle happening above the Star Relay. Instead, it was glued to Shang Xia.

Naturally... Shang Xia didn’t know the interest she was taking in him. His gaze returned to the battle above.

By the time the lightning fully scattered, Shang Xia noticed a not-so-great sight.

The ball of Lightning Starch firmly wrapped around Zhang Xuansheng’s Jade Tortoise and Shang Xia could somewhat notice the creature through the ball of Lightning Starch. It had already retracted its head and limbs into its shell, entering full defensive mode.

Actually, it wasn’t as though the Jade Tortoise hadn’t tried to fight back. It was trying to scatter the Lightning Starch around it the best it could.

Unfortunately, the Lightning Starch was the gathered essence of lightning and if the Jade Tortoise shook the space around it or caused the void to collapse, it would only cause a stronger retaliation from the Lightning Starch.

Zhang Xuansheng understood that point and decided to hide in his shell. He would be able to last for an extremely long time that way and True Immortal Yuliang would have to place all his attention on suppressing Zhang Xuansheng and won’t be able to help the rest.

Of course, such methods of dragging the battle out weren’t a way to solve the problem. True Immortal Yuliang might have to focus on suppressing Zhang Xuansheng, but his Rounded Jug was able to fly around and interfere with the rest of the battle.

Moreover, if Zhang Xuansheng and True Immortal Yuliang were unable to take part in the battle, the battle would just return to its original state where the Spirit Luxuriant World was at a serious disadvantage.

The next moment, Zhuge Xiang coughed once and prepared to declare the Spirit Luxuriant World’s defeat.

Even though there was still another Martial Void Realm True Immortal who hadn’t taken action, his cultivation was the lowest and Zhuge Xiang didn’t believe he had the ability to turn the situation around.

Moreover, the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World were at a disadvantage at the moment. Even if the other True Immortal joined the fight, the others would quickly think of a way to suppress him.

Despite their loss, it was an undeniable fact that the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World stood united with one another. They would definitely be able to find a footing among the other Spirit Worlds in the Star Origin City.

Seeing as the situation was turning south, a sudden whistle tore through the air from the direction of the newly formed spatial tunnel. There was no doubt about it. The last True Immortal from the Spirit Luxuriant World, the person whom everyone felt had the lowest combat capabilities, had entered the fight. Kou Chongxue had come!

In the eyes of many True Immortals present, they felt that his entry would be able to change a thing. Of course, the experts of the Spirit Abundance World knew better.

The young swordsman was actually the person in the Spirit Luxuriant World who possessed the greatest potential and posed the strongest threat! He was actually the person the Spirit Abundance World wanted to get rid of once and for all!

After all, he was someone who advanced to the Martial Void Realm without the use of any advancement medicine! He stepped into his current level by borrowing the power of his world’s ascension!

Even though the method he used seemed incredible, there was actually a special term for it. Someone who did what Kou Chongxue did would be called the Son of Fate!

It was someone who received the true recognition of their world! The moment someone like that grew stronger, they would pose a massive threat to other worlds! The Spirit Abundance World was clearly afraid of him since they had already formed an irreversible grudge against the Spirit Luxuriant World.

In fact... He was already a massive threat! After all, not anyone would be able to suppress the third tier Martial Void Realm Dugu Yuanshan when he just advanced!

Even though he had some help and used a Holy Artifact, that didn’t mean that he was useless!

As the space above the Star Relay stopped trembling, the Hidden Frost Sword made its appearance.

To other Martial Void Realm experts, a divine weapon might be extremely useful, but it wasn’t a treasure that was irreplaceable. It might be difficult to obtain one, but to Martial Void Realm experts, a divine weapon wasn’t something too rare.

As such, the appearance of the Hidden Frost Sword didn’t raise too many waves among the True Immortals present. At most, some of the True Immortals who had greater knowledge of weapon refining would be a little more interested in the material that made up the sword.

That was about it...

What happened next was what truly shocked the True Immortals present.

A terrifying sword qi swept through the skies the next second and despite the swordsman being at the first tier of the Martial Void Realm, he easily forced back Shen Bihuan’s Jade Hairpin!

Everyone could see the sword tumbling awkwardly through the air as the newcomer hadn’t fully adapted to the surroundings, but it managed to block Shen Bihuan’s Jade Hairpin without any difficulty!

No longer held back by the Jade Hairpin, Liu Jingsheng pushed his giant wave forward. It crashed against the newly formed fire net by Xiao Yugang, and Li Jidao’s short blade became a lot more aggressive with the entry of their trump card. With Yang Taihe holding True Immortal Qing’s sword down, his short blade chopped off a portion of the snake’s tail!

With a single slash, the Hidden Frost Blade turned the situation around!

Clearly, everyone other than the experts of the Spirit Abundance World had underestimated the last True Immortal of the Spirit Luxuriant World. However, a mistake was a mistake. They didn’t think that the Spirit Luxuriant World would be able to obtain victory the moment they thought of a way to counter the last True Immortal.

They had one last chance to decide who would join the battle, but it was a crucial decision to choose the person to take part in the battle.

Several True Immortals were discussing who should take part in the battle, but before they could reach a conclusion, someone else jumped into the fray without consulting the others.

“Meng Yuanxiu of the Azure Oddity World greets all of you! Fellow cultivators of the Spirit Luxuriant World, please enlighten me!” The words rang through the air as a pearl the size of a fist emerged in the void.

“Azure Oddity Pearl!” The True Immortals present couldn’t help but gasp when they saw the treasure.

“Why is True Immortal Meng using this treasure?!”

“It’s over!”

“This is just a simple exchange... Why is there a need to use a treasure like this?!”

“Can’t you tell? Are you blind? Someone is obviously trying to make things difficult for the Spirit Luxuriant World. Why else would they use a treasure like that?”

“That’s still taking things too far! At the end of the day, this is supposed to be a simple exchange. We’re not trying to destroy each other’s foundations...”

“Hehe... That’s what you think!”

A massive commotion broke out among the True Immortals who were watching the battle.

Zhuge Xiang also felt that something was off at that point, but both sides hadn’t broken the rules. They sent experts with similar cultivation realms out, and he couldn’t say anything about it.

Shang Xia wasn’t able to eavesdrop on the conversation among the Martial Void Realm True Immortals watching the battle, but he could tell that something strange was happening.

With the entry of Kou Chongxue and Meng Yuanxiu, there were 10 Martial Void Realm True Immortals fighting above the Star Relay. Shang Xia felt the pressure on him increasing yet again, and he chose not to fight it any longer. Acting as though he was overwhelmed, he ‘stumbled’ back into the edge of the protection formation until he ended up beside Captain Feng.

Shang Xia was clearly no Star Origin Guard. He couldn’t draw upon the assistance of the protection formation to withstand the pressure. He noticed Captain Feng a long time ago, and even though she was using external help to stay to watch the battle, he couldn’t help but admire her tenacity.

By the time he stumbled back to the edge of the barrier, he noticed that her eyes were shut tight. However, tears were still streaming down her face and she was drawing on the power of the protection formation to barely remain standing.

In her current state, there was no way she was still observing the battle up there.

Standing beside her, Shang Xia asked in a strange voice, “Why haven’t you left?”

Even though she couldn’t open her eyes, she gnashed her teeth and growled, “You’re still here! Of course I can’t leave!”

Oh shit! That’s why...

Shang Xia couldn’t help but chuckle hoarsely, “There are at least a dozen more True Immortals present. Even Commander Zhuge and True Immortal Liu of the Star Origin Guards are still here... Captain Feng, do you really think that I would be able to mess with what is happening?”

Suddenly, Captain Feng realized how stupid she was. She was so triggered that she nearly forced her eyes to open.

Fortunately, she soon realized that her divine will would be threatened if she did and her eyes remained closed. She muttered resolutely, “No. This is my duty. As long as there’s a single outsider in the Star Relay, I cannot leave!”

“Alright then...” Shang Xia shook his head slightly.

Hearing what he said, Captain Feng thought that Shang Xia was finally going to leave. She prepared to run out together with him, but he didn’t seem to be moving.

Shang Xia still wanted to ask her if there was another reason she was staying, but she beat him to the questioning. “Why aren’t you leaving yet?!”

Captain Feng tried to speak as calmly as possible, but she was actually starting to panic. “Can you still withstand the shockwaves of the battle?!”

Shang Xia thought about it for a moment and decided to ask his question anyway. “Oh right, actually, I have something else to ask you. Anyway, as long as you don’t open your eyes, you won’t have to leave either.”

“Can’t you see the tears flowing down my face uncontrollably?!” Captain Feng had a lot to say at the moment, but in order to maintain her pride as a captain of the Star Origin Guards, she spat out a single sentence before keeping the rest of whatever she wanted to say bottled up in her heart.

She didn’t know if Shang Xia understood she was at her limit, or if he didn’t give a shit. Whatever it was, he continued to ask, “Captain Feng, do you know the cultivation of Meng Yuanxiu of the Azure Oddity World?”
