Chapter 843: Breaking Through the Heavenly Screen
A divine weapon had spirituality, and even in the hands of a Martial Sage, they would have to refine it continuously before they would be able to use it effortlessly.
That was the reason why Yin Tou didn’t wield the sword even after suppressing it back then.
Who would have thought that in the crucial moment between the clash between Yi Jingxu and Yin Tou, the ‘sealed’ Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon would act up and stab him from the back?
Whatever it was, Yin Tou wasn’t an ordinary cultivator. Even with a divine weapon in his back and facing Yi Jingxu from the front, he managed to split off a clone to take his place in death. His true body managed to avoid certain death from being stabbed by the Hidden Frost Sword.
Even though Yin Tou had been dealt with for the time being, Kou Chongxue was still facing 3 opponents. He couldn’t exactly ignore them.
Fortunately, Yi Jingxu wouldn’t give up an opportunity like that. Yin Tou’s defense against his Starlight Point was broken, and it tore through the void. Yin Tou, who just managed to free himself, was struck in the forehead.
A low grunt left his lips as his head trembled violently. The next second, a shadow split off and flipped several times before flying into the heavenly barrier and disappearing.
Yi Jingxu’s Starlight Point wasn’t able to kill his opponent, but he managed to get another Martial Soul Clone. The sorry figure that was Yin Tou quickly fled back into the Azure Flame World.
“You should have followed up with another sword!” Yi Jingxu yelled from the side.
Kou Chongxue pushed one of those attacking him back before replying without turning his head. “This is their territory and we’re not the ones with a great advantage location wise...” contemporary romance
“You... How did you do it?!” One of the Martial Sages who was attacking Kou Chongxue stared at the Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon in Kou Chongxue’s hand that seemed to release pleasant hums and spat out his question.
Nodding slightly, Kou Chongxue muttered, “Oh? It’s nothing too special. It’s just that that ‘Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon’ you guys have been yelling about belongs to me in the first place!”
After the words left his lips, another shadowy figure seemed to appear on the Hidden Frost Sword before nodding at Kou Chongxue. It eventually turned into a streak of light that entered his body.
Facing the 3 Martial Sages, Kou Chongxue stretched his waist and let out a comfortable sigh. His aura, which used to be comparable to the strongest of the Martial Sages standing against him, started to rise greatly and suppressed all of them the next instant.
“You... You’re a fourth soul Martial Sage!” Alarm bells started ringing in the heads of the other 3 and they felt a sense of danger ripping through them.
The person standing before them didn’t just increase his cultivation by a single level! He was also wielding the ‘Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon’!
Sage Kou who was wielding the Ninth Heaven Divine Weapon was a completely different person from the Sage Kou of before!
“Retreat! Hurry up and back away!” The third soul Martial Sage started to pull away from his target as he warned his companions.
“Hmph, you guys can’t escape now.” Kou Chongxue chuckled softly before swinging his sword across him. 3 strands of Origin Copper Sword Qi flew at the 3 of them.
The second soul Martial Sage who was the latest to retreat was sliced open immediately. He wasn’t even able to split off a clone to save himself.
The other second soul Martial Sage wasn’t as unfortunate. He managed to split off a clone and used it to stall the sword qi coming his way. Of course, it didn’t manage to fully stop the sword qi and it continued to fly at his true body.
Luckily for him, he also had a life-saving treasure. It created a light screen at the very last second and stopped the terrifying sword qi as he flew back through the heavenly screen and ran into the Azure Flame World.
Before waiting for the opening in the heavenly screen to close, a thick silver bolt flashed and it was followed by a miserable cry. A figure fell powerlessly to the ground as the heavenly screen sealed up. No one knew if the Martial Sage who fell was dead or alive.
The third strand of sword qi flew at the third soul Martial Sage and killed one of his clone before it was stopped by reinforcements who finally arrived.
This time, the experts of the Azure Flame World stared at Sage Kou without the original wariness they had. Instead, they had a look of fear stuck on their faces.
A loud cry came from above the heavenly screen again as another silver bolt of lightning flashed across their eyes. A handsome bird landed on Kou Chongxue’s shoulder and stared at the multitude of Martial Sages who arrived.
“What do you plan to do now?” Yi Jingxu asked.
By then, the cultivators of the Azure Ascension World had poured out from the void as they grouped up accordingly slightly more than 1000 miles away from the heavenly screen. They understood that they had no other choice now that they were facing a foreign world.
Yi Jingxu, Lu Wuzi, and Kou Chongxue might not have gathered together, but all 3 of them were holding off enemies in a certain direction. However, they were slowly being surrounded.
“We need to hold out positions and open the heavenly screen for the rest to charge in.” Kou Chongxue growled.
“Hmph, why should we do that?!” Lu Wuzi asked. His tone didn’t sound great at the moment.
Kou Chongxue didn’t seem to mind his attitude at the moment and he explained, “We should gather together in order to take action. The Azure Flame World isn’t that easy to deal with. We will only be taken down one after another if we move separately!”
“Shouldn’t you just say that the World’s Will will try to reject us?” Lu Wuzi said suddenly.
With a short laugh, Kou Chongxue muttered, “Looks like you know...”
Lu Wuzi didn’t continue to respond. However, Yi Jingxu quickly interrupted with his question. “How would the rejection affect our strength? What about the actual strength of the Azure Flame World as a whole? Do they have Elysiums, Holy Lands, or secret regions? Do they also have Sixth Order existences?”
“Heh.” Kou Chongxue grunted once and replied. “If they really do have Sixth Order existences, do you think we’ll be able to stand around here and chat freely? Oh right, actually they do have an Elysium but it’s created after several powers joined hands. They occupy it together and it’s like a secret region that would only be open for a certain period of time. They have several Holy Lands, but there aren’t too many of them. With the exception of 3 or 4 factions that have their own Holy Land, the others are created with the alliance of several powers. They also adopted an open concept after establishing those Holy Lands.”
Yi Jingxu continued, “That would mean that they’re not too powerful... It’s no wonder you schemed against everyone in the Celestial Remains and brought us over...”
Kou Chongxue hastily added, “Even so, we cannot be careless. If my calculations are right, Martial Dipper Realm experts like ourselves will be suppressed such that we would only be able to unleash the might of cultivators a small realm below what our actual cultivation levels are. As for the others... Anyone in the Martial Dipper Realm and above will be suppressed. However, the lower their cultivation levels are, the lesser the level of suppression. Martial Extermination Realm cultivators shouldn’t feel the rejection at all. However, it’s just that they wouldn’t be able to cultivate smoothly by absorbing world origin.”
The 3 of them communicated through their divine wills and completed their conversation in a short second.
Lu Wuzi raised his head suddenly and yelled, “They’re preparing to descend!”
“We need them to meet up with us...” Yi Jingxu muttered.
“I can break the heavenly screen, but...” Kou Chongxue spoke suddenly.
Lu Wuzi seemed to know what he was going to say and he grunted, “This old man can definitely maintain the opening in the heavenly screen with my Halo Mirror. You guys can deal with the rest!”
The experts of the Martial Ascension World had already been arranged by Huang Jinghan, Yifeng, and Jiu Du with all the time Kou Chongxue and the other 2 bought.
Every single one of them who arrived already realized what was going on. They understood that the foreign world before them was the key to returning to the Azure Ascension World and only by breaking through the heavenly screen and establishing a foothold of their own could they even dream of finding a way back. Otherwise, they would have to venture around the sea of stars outside the foreign world till the end of their lifespan.
All of them felt a powerful sword qi close to the heavenly screen not too far below and the moment it appeared, everyone could clearly feel the tyrannical might it possessed.
“Motherfucking Kou Chongxue! He actually arrived long before all of us!” There was almost no Martial Dipper Realm expert in the Azure Ascension World who didn’t know Kou Chongxue’s sword qi. However, there weren't actually too many people present who would dare to curse him so openly. Even though all of them probably cursed Kou Chongxue’s 18 generations of ancestors when they were being transferred over earlier, only the crazy Elder Yifeng from the Eternal Palace had the balls to curse Kou Chongxue so openly.
With the Hidden Frost Sword descending, a massive tear that was several miles wide formed on the heavenly screen.
“Stop them!”
Kou Chongxue’s strike seemed to signal the next level of the conflict that was about to happen.
In an instant, the Martial Sages of the Azure Flame World swarmed Kou Chongxue and the others.
At the same time, Huang Jinghan and the rest who had gathered 1000 miles started their assault. The 3 strongest swordsmen of the Azure Ascension World behind Kou Chongxue led the charge.
Behind them, the Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Azure Ascension World formed up their basic 5 man battle formations as they followed closely behind. The Martial Extermination Realm experts remained at the very back.
Naturally, the experts of the Azure Flame World quickly tried to intercept them. A massive battle hundreds of miles away from the heavenly screen erupted in an instant.
It was then that a copper mirror started to rise. Ripples formed on the surface of the mirror as rings of light started to spread to the surroundings. When 4 rings of light finally emerged, the surface of the copper mirror seemed to transform into a massive wheel that was shining with a four colored light. It was like a massive moon that maintained the tear in the heavenly screen Kou Chongxue created.
Within the Azure Flame World, many people were witnessing a scene they had never seen before. They saw a giant moon that was sparkling with silvery moonlight contending with the sun and moon of their own world.
