Chapter 842: Invasion, From the Back!
The commotion at the heavenly screen quickly attracted the attention of many Martial Sages of the Azure Flame World.
The appearance of a Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon seemed to intensify their interest in the matter.
However, that wasn’t all they were attracted to. The fact that the foreign expert who wreaked havoc in the Azure Flame World was surrounded also grabbed their attention. They were so caught up in the fact that they managed to surround him that they didn’t even notice the changes thousands of miles away from the heavenly screen.
Shang Xia used the Origin Holy Artifact to release a huge amount of world origin in order to successfully complete the Spatial Transfer. However, Hidden Frost Sword was the catalyst used to cut open the spatial tunnel in the first place and it was the first to arrive.
After the appearance of the Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon and Sage Kou, a good portion of the attention of those from the Azure Flame World was drawn over. 3000 miles away from the heavenly screen, Lu Wuzi and Yi Jingxu were the first 2 to be thrown out from the void and they tumbled out unceremoniously.
The moment they arrived, they discovered the heavenly screen that was ‘right in front of their eyes’.
Of course, even though they were the first few to arrive, they didn’t immediately try breaking through the heavenly screen to enter the foreign world. Other than the fact that they knew nothing about the new world, Lu Wuzi and Yi Jingxu needed to wait for the rest of the experts on their side to arrive, while covering their arrival.
Who would have thought that the experts of the various factions weren’t what came next? Large pieces of debris, shattered mountains, and broken fragments of land flew out from the void and went straight for the heavenly screen.
If there were true powerhouses in the world, there was no way such a huge disturbance would be able to be hidden.
Lu Wuzi and Yi Jingxu exchanged a glance and noticed that it was actually a pretty good way for them to probe the strength of the foreign world. They could also use the cover provided by the mess to close in on the heavenly screen.
The cultivators from their respective factions soon arrived before them. After all, with Shang Xia’s successful activation of the Origin Holy Artifact, all of them were able to arrive safely.
The moment the thought flashed across Lu Wuzi and Yi Jingxu’s minds, they got to it right away. They concealed themselves in the destruction as they soared closer to the heavenly screen.
By then, the Martial Sages of the Azure Flame World noticed everything that was happening in the void. Unfortunately, everything was too damn close and they didn’t have the ability to stop it from crashing into the heavenly screen.
Of course, that didn’t mean that they didn’t do anything. They started to act one after another in order to stop as much as they could from smashing into the heavenly screen.
In the space within 1000 miles from the heavenly screen, loud blasts could be heard in succession. Land fragments and even debris from the Celestial Remains were shattered or turned back into the sea of stars.
With the Martial Sages of the Azure Flame World acting to stop the destruction from crashing into the heavenly screen, the original crowd that surrounded the Hidden Frost Sword and Kou Chognxue left. Only the 5 that arrived originally to snatch the Hidden Frost Sword remained.
It was then that Sage Kou made his move.
Released 2 strands of formless sword qi, he struck at the 2 Martial Sages closest to him! At the same time, he rushed at the Yin Tou who was suppressing the Hidden Frost Sword.
Even though he was the person surrounded by 5 Martial Sages from the Azure Flame World, Sage Kou took the initiative to make the first move. Moreover, he didn’t choose to break out of the encirclement immediately. Instead, he seemed to be trying to pull them closer to him instead.
The 3 of them who came under attack felt endless pressure. The other 2 who hadn’t been targeted knew how crafty and hard to deal with Sage Kou was and they immediately moved to help to prevent their target from escaping.
What they didn’t know was that they fell straight into Sage Kou’s trap. That was what he wanted in the first place.
The weakest among those attacking Sage Kou had 1 Martial Soul, while the strongest had condensed 3 Martial Souls. Despite his strength and the strange and powerful properties of his formless sword qi, Sage Kou couldn’t overpower 5 of them directly. He was quickly forced into a slight disadvantage.
However, the way of which he adapted during battle gave them a strange feeling. The formless sword qi he used not only seemed as though it wasn’t protecting him, it also seemed to be forced to the limit while only resisting the combined strength of his 5 opponents. It was as though he was afraid to scare them all away by using his full strength.
“When are you 2 going to make your move? Are you really just going to watch from the side?” Sage Kou yelled at the void, but the 5 surrounding him only felt slightly incredulous.
A feeling of unease filled Yin Tou’s heart and he yelled in fright, “Everyone, be careful!”
As the words were leaving his lips, a pillar of light emerged from the void and landed on the weakest Martial Sage attacking Sage Kou.
It was as though Sage Kou had already expected the assistance to come from the void as a formless sword qi sliced at the expert who had been locked in place by the pillar of light. His target was beheaded directly.
An expert who had condensed a Martial Soul possessed extremely sturdy life force, but without their head, there was no way they could continue living.
At the same time, Yin Tou seemed to have realized what was going on and he screamed again, “Foreign experts are attacking us! Everyone, be careful!”
He felt the presence of someone behind him after he spoke.
Yin Tou was an expert with 3 Martial Souls, and he immediately condensed a phantom behind him. Without turning out, he sent a palm strike at the individual behind him.
Boom!
The void erupted instantly, and he realized that the person who was carrying out the sneak attack seemed to possess comparable strength to himself.
With the massive disturbance, the sword that he was suppressing seemed to be able to struggle free from his control.
Of course, Yin Tou wasn’t willing to let go of the Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon he managed to suppress. He couldn’t help but focus a little more attention to keep it under control. Since he had to deal with the assault from a foreign expert at the same time, he quickly fell to a disadvantage.
The person Yin Tou was fighting turned out to be Elder Yi Jingxu from the Heavenly Star Palace, and he was a third element Martial Dipper Realm expert. Both of them seemed to possess the same level of strength.
Because of his interference, there were only 3 Martial Sages left to stall Sage Kou. The pressure he felt dropped greatly.
However, with Yin Tou’s reminder earlier, the Martial Sages of the Azure Flame World were a lot more careful. There were 2 experts from the Azure Flame World who flew at the void where silver light was pouring out from.
However, the 2 of them quickly retreated.
A solemn voice rang from the void the next second. “Kou Chongxue, look at what you’ve done! You brought this upon yourself. If Mister Yi Jingxu and I leave right now, how will you deal with this?”
Sage Kou, who was having a much easier time dealing with the experts of the Martial Sages of the Azure Flame World since there were only 3 of them left, chuckled softly, “I believe you should be Elder Lu Wuzi from the Northern Sea Mystic Sect. This old man believes neither of you will do such a thing. After all, since you’re already come, you probably wish to go back as well. The key to returning is on me after all...”
“Hmph!” A cold snort rolled through the void and a powerful sound wave blasted through the minds of the Martial Sages present.
Neither of them thought that the newcomers were comparable in strength to the Sage Kou they were fighting. With Lu Wuzi’s sudden interruption, they suffered a huge loss. Their souls trembled and they felt the world spinning around them the next moment.
A pillar of light that seemed to reflect off the surface of a mirror descended next. However, one of them had a protective treasure and he activated it immediately to cause a terrifying hurricane to sweep around the heavenly barrier around him.
The other Martial Sage wasn’t as lucky. The pillar of light struck him directly, and without any form of protection, his flesh started to melt. It was a nasty sight and anyone would feel uncomfortable watching what happened.
Fortunately, he didn’t just have a single Martial Soul. At the critical moment, he sacrificed a clone and successfully extracted himself from his predicament.
The clone quickly turned into a pile of heaven and earth qi that scattered. Not even the Martial Soul or anything comparable to a fate dipper essence was left behind as it was completely melted away. The pillar of light quickly landed on the heavenly screen and a dense mist was created. No one knew if the pillar of light managed to eat away at the heavenly screen.
It was then that the portion of debris from the Celestial Remains arrived. They slammed into the heavenly screen before tearing through it, landing in different locations of the Azure Flame World.
After the falling debris came the experts of the Azure Ascension World. More and more of them emerged from the void and the experts of the Azure Flame World finally connected the dots. The foreign experts didn’t just appear out of sheer coincidence! The entire matter was a premeditated invasion!
“This is a foreign invasion! Foreign experts arrived in massive numbers to attack our world!”
“We cannot allow them to step into the Azure Flame World!”
“Quick, notify everyone! We have to stop them outside the heavenly screen!”
The cultivators of the Azure Flame World started to transmit messages to each other as more and more of them started to fly up towards the Heavenly Screen.
Some of them who came were in the Fifth Order of the Primary Realm and had already condensed their Martial Souls. However, a good portion of them were Martial Ancestors in the Fourth Order of the Primary Realm.
“Kill Sage Kou and the 2 foreign experts!” A Martial Sage of the Azure Flame World yelled.
Kou Chongxue, Lu Wuzi, and Yi Jingxu could already detect that their fellow experts from the Azure Ascension World had arrived through the spatial tunnel and after attracting most of the attention, they started to shift the battlefield towards their reinforcements.
Watching multiple streaks of light tearing through space to fly at them, Yi Jingxu roared with rage, “Kou Chongxue, how long do you plan on hiding your strength?!”
“Hahahah! I’m sorry. My clone has been greatly weakened after the long-distance Spatial Transfer. I’m waiting for him to recover a little.” Kou Chongxue roared with laughter.
“How long do you even need?!” Yi Jingxu didn’t seem satisfied with his answer and he roared.
The smile on Kou Chongxue’s face remained and he responded, “Mister Jingxu, please calm down... Let’s do it now!” contemporary romance
With a loud grunt, Yi Jingxu circulated his dipper qi to the limit. The starlight pouring out from the void started to gather around him and they eventually gathered into a single point on his finger. He didn’t hesitate to point at Yin Tou.
The inherited rank five art of the Heavenly Star Palace, the Starlight Point!
Even though their reinforcements were about to arrive, Yin Tou didn’t dare to let his guard down. His hands formed a seal before his body as his Martial Souls gathered into a point of silver light. It clashed with Yi Jingxu’s Starlight Point!
The next second, the Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon he was suppressing earlier tore free of its seal and sank directly into his back.
