Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1416: Black Void



Chapter 1416: Black Void

If a fight were to break out, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World would be at a huge advantage if they fought in their world. After all, that was where the advantages of an Elysium True Immortal would be displayed to the fullest.

In their world, Zhang Xuansheng would be able to contend against a fifth tier True Immortal.

Because of the suppression a foreign fifth tier True Immortal would face, they would most likely not be his opponent if they fought.

However, be it Zhang Xuansheng or the other True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World, they didn’t hesitate to fight the mysterious True Immortal outside the heavenly screen.

It wasn’t because they wanted to give up their geographical advantage. It was just that with the opponent being a high-level True Immortal, if they went all out, they might be able to cause great destruction to the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Of course, the black cloaked True Immortal was confident in his abilities, he wouldn’t dare to fight so many opponents in their world either. If he really pissed them off and they decided to kill him by paying any price possible, he would be in big trouble either way.

Under such circumstances, both sides chose to fight above the heavenly screen and the battle broke out the moment Zhang Xuansheng arrived.

With Zhang Xuansheng drawing upon a portion of the energy of his Elysium, he didn’t hold back against the mysterious expert.

One couldn’t see how easily the mysterious black cloaked expert avoided the attacks of Ge Qingzhu and the others in the Spirit Luxuriant World and didn’t seem too affected by the rejection of the World’s Will... The black cloak he was holding was a huge reason behind it! Also, it might have been able to block off the rejection of the World’s Will, but if he truly went all out earlier, he would have been able to kill Sun Haiwei, at the expense of his identity being revealed. That was also why she was able to survive with just a single rank six protection talisman.

Now that he was fighting the true experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World, he didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage even though he was facing Zhang Xuansheng and Yang Taihe at once!

The cloak billowed behind him as a ball of black flames scorched the void around him. The remnant energy easily stopped the second tier True Immortals like Li Jidao and the others as he focused mainly on Zhang Xuansheng and Yang Taihe. The weaker True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World were also afraid to touch the black flames, and they were a lot more careful in their approach to help the others.

Because of that, they were forced to keep their distance, greatly reducing their threat. The only people who could fight him head on were Zhang Xuansheng and Yang Taihe, giving him enough time to slowly free himself from their encirclement.

Flinging the cloak behind him, a massive black screen seemed to be created in the void that was thousands of miles long.

Zhang Xuansheng and Yang Taihe couldn’t dodge in time and were trapped in it.

“I’ll cover us, you find a way to break it!” Zhang Xuansheng grunted as the space around him started to ripple. He created a powerful layer of defense around the 2 of them.

After fighting side by side against so many foreign enemies, their coordination was immaculate. Yang Taihe made his move as a pillar of light emerged from his body, slamming into the black void around them. Unfortunately, it failed to tear the darkness apart.

It was then that clusters of black flames started to fall like rain on Zhang Xuansheng’s protective barrier, sizzling sounds filling the space as the barrier was slowly eaten away.

Within the dark space, the strength of the black cloaked expert was amplified, and if things kept up, Zhang Xuansheng wouldn’t be able to hold out forever.

What shocked the 2 of them was that their connection to their Elysiums seemed to be weakening and drawing on the power of their Elysiums became a lot more difficult.

Yang Taihe continued to strike at the black void around them, but he slowly pivoted his focus to help Zhang Xuansheng maintain the barrier.

“His strength far surpasses the both of us...” Zhang Xuansheng mumbled, and he managed to keep his cool even in a situation like that.

Yang Taihe snorted coldly in response, “It’s all because of the black cloak he’s wearing. I wonder if that’s a Divine Artifact or a Holy Artifact...”

Zhang Xuansheng shook his head and sighed, “His cultivation level is already terrifyingly high. Even without the cloak, we might not be able to fight him.

Both of them understood each other well and Yang Taihe’s expression immediately became strange. He frowned and asked, “Do you mean that he’s still hiding his strength? Why?”

A strange cackle came from the black cloaked True Immortal suddenly, “Ahaha... I wish to know why too...”

Zhang Xuansheng spoke suddenly with a trace of self mockery, “Why else? Either you’re someone we know, or you don’t wish to reveal the faction you serve. After all... How many True Immortals in the Heaven Observation Field is at the level of Dao Harmony or higher?”

“What I don’t understand is that everyone in the sea of stars detest the Man and Beast as One secret art, but you brought it back into our Heaven Observation Field. Aren’t you afraid that Beast Warriors will start to develop and destroy all of us?” Zhang Xuansheng grunted.

This time, the black cloaked True Immortal fell silent for quite some time. Eventually, he spoke again, but his voice seemed a little sluggish. “I didn’t think that you would know about Beast Warriors... Looks like I underestimated all of you. I believe all of you only learned about this because of True Immortal Little Shang, right?”

Zhang Xuansheng continued to probe, “The True Immortals of Azure Worlds wouldn’t be able to reach the high-level. In the 5 great Spirit Worlds, the Spirit Tinkle World can’t even take care of themselves and the Spirit Abundance World has a huge grudge with us. They don’t have to bother concealing their identities. Moreover, the Spirit Abundance World aren’t able to venture too far outside the Star Curtain and might not even know about Beast Warriors... Looks like it’s not difficult to guess your identity now. You’re either from the Spirit Mammoth World, or a high-level True Immortal from the Star Origin Lord Manor!”

Clap, clap, clap...

The sound of applause came from the void and the black cloaked man’s voice came again, “That sounds reasonable. However... Why didn’t you mention the other Spirit World? It’s not like the Spirit Thistle World lacks high-level True Immortals.”

Zhang Xuansheng snorted coldly, “The Spirit Thistle World formed an alliance with us and we naturally know the movements of all their high-level True Immortals. Moreover... I can guess that since you had the guts to mention them, there’s no way you’ll be from their world.”

After another moment of silence, the black cloaked man spoke again, “Looks like you guys are still trying to buy time... It’s a shame. Do you think I didn’t make any preparations?”

In the pitch-black voice, the flames that were falling on Zhang Xuansheng’s protection barrier started to gather because of some strange power of attraction before concentrating their might on a single point in the barrier. The next instant, the barrier seemed like it would fall apart.

Zhang Xuansheng didn’t dare to wait for the protection barrier to shatter and he called out in a low voice, “Shit! We don’t have any more time. We need to work together to force our way out!”

Yang Taihe knew that they had to free themselves no matter what, and he followed behind Zhang Xuansheng as they released a powerful strike to tear apart the black void.

“You can’t run.” The black cloaked True Immortal’s voice rang in their minds once again as the black void started to churn as it tried to swallow them whole. Their divine souls’ range started to shrink once again as the connection between them and the Spirit Luxuriant World was cut off completely.

“He’s trying to suppress us in this region of space!” Zhang Xuansheng frowned, but even though he knew that the situation was bad, there wasn’t a trace of panic in his voice.

“Is he trying to capture the 2 of us alive?” Yang Taihe asked in a strange tone.

“Nope. I don’t need 2 of you. True Immortal Zhang is enough for me.” The black cloaked True Immrotal’s voice rang in their minds once again, but this time, his voice seemed to appear right beside them.

Zhang Xuansheng reacted instantly. The protection barrier around him exploded and the power it contained swept across the void in an attempt to shove any threat away.

Yang Taihe also made his move as a brilliant radiance tore the area around them into a chaotic void.

Turning around abruptly, Zhang Xuansheng discovered that the distance between them had already increased greatly as a pillar of black flames separated them.

“Shit! Not good...” Zhang Xuansheng felt his heart thumping and knew that the black cloaked True Immortal would definitely try to deal with Yang Taihe first as he gathered a ball of energy that turned into a strange pearl that he shot through the pillar of flames.

As the pearl reached Yang Taihe, they suddenly noticed a thin stream of light cutting through the black void as a familiar figure stood before Yang Taihe who wasn’t looking too good.

Zhang Xuansheng heaved a sigh of relief, silently grumbling in his heart about the delay.

At the same time, he quickly moved to surround the black cloaked figure.
