Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1724: Staking It All, Endless Support
Chapter 1724: Staking It All, Endless Support
In the void around the Spirit Luxuriant World in the Heaven Observation Field, Shang Xia was deep in meditation. He was refining and optimizing a nearly completed rank seven art.
Suddenly, he was jolted awake from his deep meditation by a sudden sensation deep in his soul.
Shang Xia quickly immersed his soul into his Big Dipper Star Origin and determined the location of the change that alerted him.
"Is that the direction of the Essence Du World? Hmm... My Spirit Calming Vessel there has already been destroyed by Yan Yu. It can only be my Origin Star Avatar...” Shang Xia muttered to himself. However, because the distance between them was too great and the multiple layers of obstruction between them, he was unable to project his soul over to find out what was happening.
Yet, the disturbance he was feeling from the Big Dipper Star Origin continuously reminded him that the situation his Origin Star Avatar was encountering had to be serious. After all... There shouldn’t be anything his avatar that had the abilities of a Seven Star Realm expert should take so long to resolve.
Furthermore, his Origin Star Avatar might also be trying to send a message to him through the disturbance.
Shang Xia thought that if he could reach the gap in the Star Curtain, his connection with his Origin Star Avatar might become clearer. However, any movement he made would definitely alert the other Sages who were watching the Heaven Observation Field.
Moreover... If he lingered too long around the gap, the exact location might be discovered.
The dilemma made Shang Xia increasingly uncomfortable.
Just as he felt somewhat helpless, he felt a strange disturbance in his Big Dipper Star Origin.
Shang Xia instinctively looked up towards the void above, more precisely, he was looking at the 7 suns deep in the sea of stars in the Big Dipper formation, where he refined a strand of their essence light each.
In a flash of inspiration, Shang Xia realized something. His Origin Star Avatar was able to draw on their power through the Origin Star Robe.
That was his unique ability!
However, the ability seemed to be able to replicated by his Origin Star Avatar, who had a strand of his soul.
Apparently, in a state of emergency, his Origin Star Avatar instinctively triggered and utilized his talent.
Since his Origin Star Avatar could use the power of the 7 suns to replenish itself... Why couldn’t Shang Xia send his power over using them as a medium? freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
With that thought, as Shang Xia stared at the 7 suns in the distance, his inner qi began to rapidly deplete.
...
Before Shang Xia’s energy arrived...
In the ruins of the Spirit Lyric World.
With a strange feeling washing over him, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar raised his head and looked into the void. In a spot where only he could see, a big dipper formation sparkled brightly and starlight began to fall on him. The energy he was using up in battle was rapidly replenished.
A spark of insight flashed through the mind of his Origin Star Avatar. The runes on his robe activated and the falling starlight that was initially scattered converged once again.
With his energy replenished, his confidence surged!
Although he still couldn't alter the fact that he was being overwhelmed by his opponent, he now felt fully confident of fighting back, having already spotted a flaw in his opponent's technique.
Previously, when Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar encountered the mysterious Seventh Order expert, he was forced into a precarious situation.
A reason was that Shang Xia himself hadn’t developed a rank seven art to properly circulate his inner qi. He didn’t even have a proper rank seven martial art!
Even though the mysterious Seventh Order existence who appeared from the core region of the ruins was barely maintaining his cultivation realm and looked as though he could fall back to the Martial Void Realm at any time, he practiced a rank seven martial art that was compatible with his inner qi.
Coupled with his desperate initial onslaught, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar was turning illusory for real.
The only reason he was able to hold on for so long to activate his unique talent was because of the Void Lotus that absorbed his energy before.
Having not yet developed a rank seven martial art or secret art for that matter, his avatar could only use the simplest brute force method of combat. If he kept up fighting like that, he would never have enough energy.
But after withstanding his opponent’s initial fierce attacks, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar gained some understanding of his opponent’s situation.
The reason they chose to fight desperately from the start was because couldn’t maintain their cultivation level for long.
Connecting it to where his opponent appeared, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar thought of something and yelled, “Are you True Immortal Jiu Yin of the Spirit Lyric World?!”
The person across did not respond to his question; instead, his attacks grew even more frenzied.
...
Too bad for them, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar formed a connection with his true body. With his Seven Star Qi replenishing his Origin Star Avatar, his original weakness was gone. The war of attrition would become his greatest advantage.
As time dragged on, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar gained a greater advantage.
When Yan Yu and Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar turned to fight, even a fool would know they fell into a trap made by Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar and Yan Yu.
Guan Ziqing and the mysterious expert’s plan where Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar would fight with Yan Yu, causing huge losses on both sides, never happened. Instead, they were lured out of their hiding spots.
Actually, it wasn’t as though they had no chance of winning. However, when the expert suspected to be Jiu Yin was about to exhaust his opponent, his opponent suddenly restored himself into his peak state amidst a spectacle of falling starlight.
The second Shang Xia established a connection with his Origin Star Avatar, and the strange phenomenon was only visible to them. Others only saw a curtain of starlight. Yet, under such circumstances, Guan Ziqing and the existence they suspected to be Jiu Yin of the Spirit Lyric World had no choice but to commit fully.
