Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 708: Turn of Events

When the battle in the battlefield between the two worlds reached their peak, the experts of the institution who were tasked with guarding the spatial tunnel suddenly relayed the news that a huge amount of spiritual beasts had charged into the You Continent.

The battlefield between the two worlds existed for close to 30 years at that point and it contained a huge number of spiritual beasts.

Those spiritual beasts possess tyrannical strength and could threaten experts from both the Tongyou Institution and the Azure Spiritual World, allowing them to survive undisturbed in their territories. That was one of the reasons they hadn’t been culled, but the other reason was because the Tongyou Institution and experts from the Azure Spiritual World had been holding each other back the entire time.

Now that Yun Jing and Yan Su’er received news of the spiritual beasts charging through the spatial tunnel into the You Continent, their hearts sank.

They weren’t actually concerned that the sudden influx of spiritual beasts would result in a beast tide and cause great destruction to the You Continent. Instead, they were more worried about the reason the beasts were escaping. After all, those spiritual beasts were extremely sensitive to impending dangers.

One had to know that those beasts had never been willing to leave the battlefield between the two worlds.

For them to charge towards the You Continent without a care in the world, that could only mean one thing. The battlefield between the two worlds was about to crumble!

It was something they had all expected when they learned that the Worlds’ Will were fusing. After all, once the new world was formed, the spatial barrier would no longer exist. Naturally, the battlefield between the two worlds would also disappear.

The only problem was that everything was happening far earlier than they had expected!

What was more, from the news they received, the number of beasts that were charging out had surpassed their original estimates. Spiritual beasts who were supposed to be closer to the Azure Spiritual World actually charged into the spatial tunnel leading to the You Continent!

Whatever it was, the escaping beasts showed everyone that the battlefield between the two worlds was about to disappear.

Yun Jing and Yan Su’er stuck to the plan. They immediately relaxed the pressure they were putting on the experts of the Azure Spiritual World and they called for a retreat to protect the territories they owned. They prepared to retreat from the battlefield between the two worlds at any time.

The movements by the experts of the Tongyou Institution were quickly made known to the members of the Changbai Holy Land and the Three Great Races of the Liao Continent. They even managed to learn of the movements of the spiritual beasts into the You Continent.

They rejoiced when they heard what had happened. With the Tongyou Institution retreating, they tried to press their advantage. They attacked with renewed vigor as they prepared to take back the territory they had lost.

They clearly weren’t expecting Yun Jing and the others to be prepared for their assault. Those from the Tongyou Institution didn’t seem to care about the effects of the beast tide as they charged into the You Continent. Instead, they were ready for the Azure Spiritual World's counterattack. As a result, the Three Great Races of the Liao Continent and the Changbai Holy Land suffered considerably.

Even after countless tries, they discovered that the Tongyou Institution wouldn’t budge an inch. They really didn’t seem to care about the effects of the beast tide on the You Continent.

“The spiritual beasts have escaped and the battlefield between the two worlds is on the brink of destruction. Looks like we don’t have to care about what’s going to happen next.” Yun Jing said after gathering Yan Su’er, Liu Qinglan, Ren Bainian, Liu Zhiyuan, Shang Lubing, Bu Jingshuang, and the others.

Yan Su’er seemed a little worried, “Will nothing really go wrong with so many spiritual beasts entering the You Continent?”

“Relax. There will probably be some small hiccups along the way, but they wouldn’t be able to cause serious damage.” Yun Jing nodded solemnly.

Liu Qinglan didn’t bother with the beast tide and asked directly, “When will we be retreating from the battlefield between the two worlds? Everyone out there is basically at their limit. They won’t be able to hold on for much longer.”

Yun Jing raised her head to stare at the skies above the battlefield between the two worlds and muttered softly, “That’s not up to us…”

The Void Abyss that was high above the battlefield between the two worlds was just about to disappear, and the battle between the Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors of the Tongyou Institution and the Changbai Holy Land was still ongoing.

Unlike the advantage the Tongyou Institution held in the battlefield between the two worlds, Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo were being tramped on pretty badly by the Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors of the Changbai Holy Land.

If not for the fact that Luo Baixu and Xu Bailing had their own considerations and didn’t dare to use their full strength, they would have already crossed the Void Abyss and appeared in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion above the You Continent.

The most obvious fact that both sides hadn’t gone all out was the pavilion standing tall beside the Void Abyss. Despite the Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors of both sides exchanging heavy blows, the pavilion didn’t so much as tremble.

According to the Tongyou Institution’s agreement with the Changbai Holy Land, the battlefield between the two worlds would belong to the faction whose Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors managed to gain the upper hand. The Tongyou Institution’s advantage in the battlefield between the two worlds and the additional world origin they managed to draw over to the You Continent had nothing to do with the battle happening up there.

The region of space that had been nurtured with world origin for so many years would be a top-tier blessed land no matter where it went. It would be more than enough to last hundreds of years so that the later generations would also be able to make use of it.

“Hehe… The ascension of the Tongyou Mysterious World and the escaping spiritual beasts… There will definitely be more to come. Hey, why do I feel like Patriarch Kou is biting off more than he can chew?” Xu Bailing suppressed Ji Wenlong with a heavy blow before chuckling happily.

They might have been fighting the entire time, but they knew what was happening down at the You Continent and Liao Continent.

Ji Wenlong snorted in disdain, “Our Tongyou Institution has our reason for doing what we do. Why do we need to give you an explanation?”

Luo Baixu and Xu Bailing were more than happy to gloat in the Tongyou Institution's misfortune since the spiritual beasts charged into the You Continent. In fact, even Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo were merely suppressing the worry in their hearts.

The ascension of the Tongyou Mysterious World happened far quicker than they had expected. Along with the situation with the spiritual beasts, Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo weren’t just feeling surprised any longer. They were starting to worry.

Of course, if there was one good thing going for them, it was the speed and quantity at which world origin was being sucked into the Tongyou Mysterious World. It proved to the Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors of the Changbai Holy Land that Kou Chongxue was personally carrying out the advancement of their Mysterious World.

If he wasn’t there personally, no one could explain how perfectly world origin was being directed into the Tongyou Mysterious World. They couldn’t explain how the ascension could happen so much quicker than expected either.

Precisely so, neither Xu Bailing nor Luo Baixu dared to threaten Ji Wenlong or Shang Bo’s life despite the advantage they held.

Not everyone could survive under Kou Chongxue’s sword, and not many would wish to have a taste of his strength.

Shang Xia’s presence might have managed to fool the others, but it brought great shock to Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo.

With their understanding of Kou Chongxue’s abilities, they were sure that even the man himself wouldn’t be able to control the flow of world origin so intricately.

Could there possibly be another Martial Dipper Realm Ancestor in the Tongyou Mysterious World?!

Other than Chu Jia and the formation she laid down, there shouldn't be another way to control world origin in the You Continent.

They wondered if Shang Xia was truly behind it all, and how much energy he would have left after accomplishing his task.

The sudden influx of spiritual beasts from the battlefield between the two worlds would definitely cause a wave of chaos in the You Continent.

Luckily, they had some form of preparation. A huge portion of the power of the You Continent was concentrated in the Tongyou City at the moment. If the Tongyou City wasn’t run over, the institution could still accept the consequences if other regions were affected.

Of course, that was what they said on the surface. Even if they didn’t wish to accept the consequences, there was nothing they could do about it.

The current Tongyou Institution sucked the power of the You Continent dry at that point. They couldn’t actually spare any more effort to deal with the beast tide.

Well… The real problem they were worried about was actually how the other powers outside the You Continent would react. Naturally, that included the Changbai Holy Land…

…

With the imminent ascension of the Tongyou Mysterious World to the Tongyou Paradise, Xuan Lu and Yun Lu were standing in the air above the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range while staring in the direction of the Tongyou City.

“Are you sure you wish to make a move?” Xuan Lu couldn’t help but ask.

Staring into the air above the Tongyou City, Yun Lu noticed the slight sparkle that would appear once in a while as heaven and earth spiritual qi gathered. He growled, “Of course I am! Senior Brother, there’s no need to try to dissuade me. If I don’t take revenge for what happened back then, I will never be able to calm my heart and my cultivation will never recover.”

Strange lights flashed in Xuan Lu’s eyes when he stared in the direction of the You Continent but he eventually spoke, “You need to be careful. Kou Chongxue hasn’t shown himself and I have a feeling something weird is going on. Luo Baixu and Xu Bailing are clearly also worried about something. Otherwise, they would have long since broken through the defenses of Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo. After all, those 2 have barely entered the Martial Dipper Realm…”

Yun Lu chuckled sinisterly, “Since all of us have our concerns, we’ll just have to muddy the waters a little! Kou Chongxue offended god knows how many people in order to deal with matters regarding the You Continent. I wonder how many of them are prepared to hit them at this critical moment. I’ll make the first move and get the ball rolling!”

Xuan Lu growled in a strict tone despite hearing what he said, “No matter what, you can’t go too far. You must not stand out too much in case Kou Chongxue sets his sights on you. If that happens, I might not be able to help you in time!”

“Senior Brother, rest assured. My true body is unable to leave our Ji Continent and I won’t be in any serious danger. For him to remain so low-key despite what is going on outside, it would mean that he wouldn’t care about anything else as long as we don’t affect the ascension of the Tongyou Mysterious World. My guess is that as long as no one directly interferes with the ascension, Kou Chongxue wouldn’t care too much about it. That’s the key to my plan.”

Xuan Lu immediately understood that Yun Lu wasn’t going in blind and he quickly asked, “What do you plan to do?”

“Senior Brother, look! Our chance has arrived!” Yun Lu pointed in the direction of the You Continent and chuckled.

Staring over, Xuan Lu saw the world origin starting to distort as it poured into the Tongyou Mysterious World.

His expression changed drastically. “Is that… Is that a Beast Tide?! The spiritual beasts of the battlefield between the two worlds have rushed out… No! They’re escaping! The battlefield between the two worlds is about to crumble!”

Yun Lu released yet another sinister chuckle.

Glancing at him, Xuan Lu muttered, “You can go, but use your discretion wisely. Our Ji Continent isn’t very stable at the moment and Junior Sister Hua Lu is the only person defending our White Deer Paradise. We still need to suppress those who are harboring bad thoughts against us…”

When he was done, his figure disappeared. He clearly only sent a projection over to speak with Yun Lu.
