Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1677: Nourishment

In Sage Jin’s clone’s weakened state, there was no way he could stop Shang Xia.

Holding the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet, Shang Xia swung it straight down at the clone. 7 twinkling spots appeared on the projection, unleashing a tsunami-like burst of starlight that destroyed half the clone in a single strike.

Despite Sage Jin's clone's desperate struggle to rebuild his body and escape, there was no way Shang Xia would give him a chance to do so.

A reddish-gold lightning bolt followed, forming a giant net in the void that blocked off all escape routes.

The second second, the Elysium Grand Formation of the Spirit Luxuriant World was activated once again. As it stored up Seventh Order energy, Zhang Xuansheng and Yang Taihe didn’t harness its power this time to strengthen themselves. Instead, they shot a powerful blast at Sage Jin’s clone who was trapped in the lightning net.

However, something strange occurred.

Zhuo Gudao, who was originally positioned behind Sage Jin’s clone and was closer to the heavenly screen, didn’t bother blocking the beam of energy. He simply allowed the energy to pass by him.

The experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World weren’t the only ones surprised by that. Sage Jin’s clone who was already in dire straits was also visible stunned.

With half his body obliterated and sensing a threat from behind, he half-turned in a feeble attempt to defend himself. His gaze naturally swept past where Zhuo Gudao had been, only to find the spot empty... The Star Origin Dao Field’s Sage was nowhere to be seen!

Seizing the moment while Shang Xia was fully engaged with Sage Jin's clone, Zhuo Gudao had slipped away!

Fury rose in Sage Jin's clone’s heart, but he lacked the energy to even curse.

The beam of energy that came from the Spirit Luxuriant World was the final straw that broke Sage Jin’s clone.

Trapped within the lightning net, the clone was completely destroyed by the beam of energy. It turned into a cluster of pure energy that remained in the void.

But just as his form disintegrated, Sage Jin's clone, seemingly having anticipated the outcome, spat out a streak of cold light that flew at Shang Xia. He was caught off guard, failing to stop it with his domain.

However, facing the imminent threat, Shang Xia showed no sign of panic.

He quickly positioned the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet before him, and the cold light smashed straight into it. A clear ring rang through the void and the cold streak of light was stopped.

To Shang Xia’s surprise, the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet was broken before the cold light was completely nullified.

It was the first time Shang Xia had seen the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet shattered. Moreover, it looked like it would be unable to regenerate itself. He couldn’t help but silently remind himself never to be complacent or careless.

The sea of stars was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Sage Jin had merely sent a clone, and he managed to cause so much damage. If he were to descend personally... How strong would he be?!

Realizing his final strike had not achieved its intended effect, and with only a fragment of his soul remaining, the clone sighed before dissipating completely.

The energy that had been scattered in the void started to flow back to the Spirit Luxuriant World as the massive holes in the heavenly screen sucked it in greedily.

Since the heavenly screen had been breached without showing signs of restoring itself, it was able to absorb the Seventh Order energy scattered in the void at an even quicker pace.

Compared to the Star Origin Lord’s clone, the energy produced from the death of Sage Jin’s clone was clearly less. However, that was only relatively speaking. For the Spirit Luxuriant World that was in the midst of ascension, it provided an immensely beneficial supplement.

The World’s Will surged once again, and even the cultivators who were only at the Martial Extermination Realm and Martial Dipper Realm could sense its excitement. They could tell the world was expressing its gratitude, hinting at the blessings that would descend after the ascension was complete.

Thus, as nearly 1,000 cultivators happily returned, they couldn’t help but speculate. If they were able to receive a blessing because of the slight help they provided... How much would Shang Xia, the main instigator and contributor of the world ascension benefit?

Whatever it was, Shang Xia wasn’t concerned with that at the moment. His entire focus was on tracking down Zhuo Gudao.
