Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1180: Awaken

Wen Juxiang and Gao Qin came from different Essence Worlds. For their worlds to reach their current state, they naturally weren’t lacking experience when it came to battles and expeditions against other worlds. It wasn’t strange for either of them to possess trump cards that would allow them to weaken the suppression of foreign Worlds’ Will.

Even though Hua Jianlou couldn’t be compared to either of them, the Spirit Abundance World had been scheming against the Essence Ping World for so long… How could they not have come up with anything?

In fact… From how all 3 of them dealt with the suppression of the World’s Will, Hua Jianlou’s method seemed to be the best.

He actually managed to make use of the power of frost, one of the Seventh Order energies the Essence Ping World contained!

That point alone allowed his method to far surpass either Gao Qin or Wen Juxiang.

Perhaps, that was what he was relying on when he wanted to deal with them after entering the Essence Ping World in the first place.

As for Shang Xia… He also managed to force his way into the Essence Ping World, but from how Wen Juxiang, Gao Qin, and Hua Jianlou looked at it, he was merely there by a fluke.

A youngster whose world had barely ascended less than 20 years ago… How could they have known about the existence of the Essence Ping World, or made any preparations to deal with it?

Even if the other party was talented and was able to avoid a portion of the suppression of the World’s Will to burst forth with the might of a first tier True Immortal, how could he ever compare to them who had such great methods?!

Not to mention the fact that the Spirit Luxuriant World barely entered its current level, it didn’t have much accumulation or foundations that could allow its experts to match up to the mighty Spirit Abundance World, much less the mighty Essence Worlds.

That was also why even though all 3 of them used their trump cards the moment they saw the Star Origin Lord’s will was about to awaken, none of them cared about Shang Xia who was assisting them from the side.

They believed that all 3 of them would be enough to suppress the clone, and they also didn’t believe that Shang Xia had any secret art that would enable him to burst forth with greater strength like themselves.

Also… They also thought that if Shang Xia knew what was good for him, he would take the chance to escape!

Otherwise, the moment they dealt with the clone, there would be nothing stopping them from taking care of him while they were at it.

One couldn’t forget about the grudge the Spirit Abundance World had against the Spirit Luxuriant World, or the hatred between Wen Juxiang and Shang Xia after their many exchanges.

Surprisingly enough, Shang Xia merely distanced himself a little, and he didn’t escape.

“Heh… Dumbass… Does he think he can swoop in and fish for benefits after we fight with the clone?” Hua Jianlou snorted inwardly, but he quickly turned his attention back to the battle.

Since he doesn’t want to leave, he can’t blame us for what happens next.

Gao Qin also continued to fight as she couldn’t be bothered with Shang Xia at the moment.

Wen Juxiang, who was beside her, made a seal with his hands before tearing through the domain the clone released.

Hua Jianlou’s sword qi took the chance where the gap was created in the domain to fly straight at the clone.

Everything happened so quickly, that they didn’t even have to blink.

The 3 True Immortals who came from different worlds, who never came up with a proper plan, worked perfectly with each other at that moment.

Shang Xia, who was observing the battle, didn’t plan on being distracted either as he watched everything intently.

He wasn’t exactly impressed by their perfect cooperation. Instead, he was observing the transformation of the clone.

He had always been observing the clone since the battle started, and he barely paid any attention to the 3 of them since the battle began.

Since the Star Origin Lord planned to fuse and replace the Essence Ping World’s Will, the clone would definitely be circulating energy through his body and using it like a native cultivator of the world, or at the very least, close to it.

If Shang Xia was able to copy what it was doing and transform his inner qi while circulating it in a similar fashion, he would be able to avoid the suppression of the World’s Will.

Seeing how the clone would be heavily injured by the 3 of them, the Star Origin Lord clearly wouldn’t allow it to be destroyed so easily. With the threat of being destroyed looming over his head, his will started to awaken at a quicker pace.

The next instant, Shang Xia saw the clone’s eyelids fluttering slightly as though it would open its eyes very soon.

Unfortunately, it seemed to be a little too slow as it didn’t possess the energy to dodge Hua Jianlou’s sword qi. In the end, one of its arms was sliced clean off its shoulder.

The Star Origin Lord Robe that was wrapped around its body fluttered rapidly the next moment, and brilliant rays of starlight fell. It transformed into a curtain of starlight that stopped True Immortal Gao Qin from advancing further while also sealing off the gap in the domain Wen Juxiang created. At the same time, the power of the stars gathered and slowly nullified the power of frost contained in Hua Jianlou’s sword qi.

The clone looked like it had suffered serious damage, but it also managed to stop all of them the next moment.

At the same time, a powerful frost intent emerged from the depths of the earth as though a terrifying presence was about to descend, causing the expressions on the True Immortals present to change drastically.

Shang Xia, who was the furthest away, managed to notice what happened the most clearly. The second the clone’s arm flew into the air, it opened its eyes. It looked like endless starlight was contained in them, and the Star Origin Lord Robe started to flutter behind the clone the next moment.

Just as all 3 True Immortals were stopped, the starlight in the clone’s eyes retracted as a pair of expressionless pupils that seemed to look down on everything else in the world was revealed.

It swept its gaze across those present, including Shang Xia, who was the furthest away at the moment. All 4 True Immortals seemed to freeze as the feeling of death crept up on them.

This… This is the Star Origin Lord’s gaze, however, those aren’t the Star Origin Lord’s eyes!

Of the 4 of them, Shang Xia was surprisingly the first to struggle free from the suppression of the gaze.

It wasn’t because he was the furthest away, but instead, his soul was much stronger than experts of the same level, and he had a certain treasure in his sea of consciousness.

Even though Shang Xia was the first to awaken, he didn’t make any strange movements. Instead, he remained locked in his position.

He didn’t need to stay like that for too long as a soft cough broke through the air the next moment. Gao Qin, who managed to shake off a great deal of suppression by the World’s Will with her Origin Opposing Talisman, was the next to awaken. She quickly distanced herself from the clone.

Gao Qin’s cough quickly brought the others back to attention. However, Wen Juxiang wasn’t actually the next person to react. Instead, Hua Jianlou quickly glanced at the clone after he snapped back to reality, afraid the clone would rush at him.

With the Star Origin Lord’s will awakening in the body of the clone, the lightning that was falling disappeared.

Perhaps he had just awakened and suffered serious injuries, but the Star Origin Lord’s clone didn’t immediately attack.

Wen Juxiang also struggled free the next moment before reacting the same way as Gao Qin and Hua Jianlou by distancing himself from the clone.

“You… All of you… All of you deserve to…”
