Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1455: Eat This!

If he tried to rush over to Gong Zhuo, he would be able to conceal his aura all the time, but the moment they met up, his identity as a foreign high-level True Immortal would be exposed.

He would be able to remain hidden if he didn’t make a move, and even if he fought weaker opponents, he would be able to avoid being suppressed by the World’s Will. However, that would prevent him from showing his full strength.

Gong Zhuo’s transmission was for Shang Xia to leave and protect the Wanyun Association, but after some contemplation, he decided to try to assist Gong Zhuo’s escape.

From the transmission, Shang Xia could feel Gong Zhuo’s remnant aura, and he started to fly in the general direction it came from.

He passed 2 continents in the territory of the Qi Dynasty, flying closer to their capital city. He suddenly discovered a formless web that had already been laid down by the dynasty there.

If not for his sharp senses, the moment he stepped into the region, all his disguise would be useless. The high-level True Immortals of the dynasties would definitely discover his presence and he would be surrounded and attacked.

Gong Zhuo was most likely trapped within, and if Shang Xia wanted to save him, he would have to force his way in and deal with the aftermath...

What was even worse was that with the dynasties surrounding the experts of their world, there was no way the Sages weren’t in on it. That would mean that the Sages already had their sights set on the region.

“Desperate times, desperate measures. Brother Gong, you’re on your own.” Shang Xia mumbled to himself as he skirted past the formless web they had laid down to rush towards the northwestern direction.

Before he left, Shang Xia sent a transmission talisman to Gong Zhuo, but he didn’t know if it was received.

With Shang Xia’s cultivation, it didn’t take him long to pass through the region to arrive on the other side.

If both emperors were injured, Shang Xia felt that Gong Zhuo stood a chance at self-preservation as long as the Sages didn’t make a move. It wouldn’t be easy for them to kill a fifth tier True Immortal like Gong Zhuo and even if he was surrounded, he should be able to last for quite some time.

It didn’t take him long to return to the Envoy Manor in the Tong Continent.

Perhaps it was because of the war that was happening, but the Envoy wasn’t present. However, the protection formations had been fully activated and there were countless experts standing guard outside.

Shang Xia was able to deal with the protection formations, but that would take some time, and he would cause quite a big commotion. It wasn’t feasible for him to attack the manor at the moment.

However, if he wished to connect with the World Origin Source of the Tong Continent, it wasn’t too difficult without the eye of the formation. After all, he could already control the Crimson Soul Tablet to a certain extent.

More importantly, he still had the Envoy seal he retrieved from the Tongyou Institution before heading to the Essence Xing World. Back in the Star Beast Nest, he had already summoned it before he entered seclusion and it was delivered during the time he was crafting talismans.

The seal could allow him to draw the power contained in the World Origin Source, and it was Shang Xia’s main goal in approaching the Tong Continent.

Using his Five Element Movement Art, he sank deep into the ground and stabbed the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet beneath him as he had done before.

As soon as he felt the connection, Shang Xia had a vague feeling he could control and disrupt the flow of world origin, but with the seal in hand, everything became a lot smoother.

Even though what he would do would instantly expose him, Shang Xia didn’t give half a shit. He started to absorb world origin freely.

If he was afraid he would be detected by the Sages of the Essence Xing World while absorbing world origin in the Dynasties Edge and didn’t dare to absorb as much as he could, all his concerns disappeared now that he was in the Tong Continent.

With the seal’s assistance, world origin poured into the Crimson Soul Tablet at an astounding speed.

However, when Shang Xia allowed the tablet to continue absorbing world origin, he purposely directed the suction force to be in the direction of the Qi Dynasty capital.

The World Origin Source of the world was interconnected. Even though the fluctuations in the World Origin Source were greatly weakened, it hadn’t disappeared completely. With the gap in the spatial barrier around the Qi Dynasty Dao Field, a small portion of energy returned to the World Origin Source, causing the fluctuations to continue.

The experts of the Essence Xing World didn’t notice anything even with Shang Xia drawing copious amounts of world origin.

As time passed, the outflow of world origin was finally noticed by the experts of the dynasties.

However, because they were still locked in combat, they were unable to send out too many experts to find the source of the leak.

To be able to lay down a formless web around the Qi Dynasty capital wasn’t something that could be done with mere formation artifacts and essence crystals. They would have to rely on the world origin as well, and the simplest method to do so would be to draw world origin from the World Origin Source.

For such a huge amount of world origin to disappear quickly, the strength of the formation was definitely affected.

That was Shang Xia’s plan to save Gong Zhuo and the others, but that wasn’t all.

After using the Crimson Soul Tablet to absorb so much world origin, world origin from other parts of the world started to pour towards the Tong Continent. That started the next phase of Shang Xia’s plan. All excess world origin was suddenly directed to the World Origin Source connected to the Qi Dynasty Capital!

Since that was the Qi Dynasty Capital, and it was also where the Qi Dynasty Dao Field was located, the World Origin Source was most likely connected to the dao field. With Shang Xia’s intentional actions, world origin started to pour endlessly into the Qi Dynasty Capital!

Just like that, the World Origin Source connected to the Qi Dynasty Capital was about to overflow!
