Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1745: Second Star?!

As the two ships approached the Spirit Luxuriant World, the connection between Shang Xia and his Origin Star Avatar grew stronger.

Shang Xia naturally alerted his avatar about the possibility of the final battle, and his Origin Star Avatar immediately relayed the information to Kou Chongxue.

Not a trace of panic could be seen on Kou Chongxue’s face. He muttered in a low voice, "I have now recovered over 80 percent of my combat strength, and I have begun to grasp my martial intent. If I maintain the power of our world’s Elysium Grand Formation and do what Guan Ziqing did to wield the power of our world, it won’t be too difficult to fend off a Sage. With your support and your Origin Star Avatar, we will possess the strength of 3 Sages. With our advantage and the assistance of the World’s Will, it shouldn’t be too difficult to preserve the Jiuyin Ark, right?”

However, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar chuckled in response, “Patriarch, are we really just doing this to preserve the mini Spirit Lyric World?”

Kou Chongxue was taken aback but he soon gasped in shock, "Do you have some other plan?"

Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar smiled. "What if I reached the second star of the Seven Star Realm?”

Even Kou Chongxue, a figure renowned in the Heaven Observation Field and the founding patriarch of a super faction, was taken aback by his revelation.

The Spirit Luxuriant World had always been hiding their tracks so that other Sages would discover the Jiuyin Ark, allowing them to Spirit Luxuriant World.

However, they had clearly underestimated the Stargazers of the other worlds in the Heaven Observation Field. After all... The Heaven Observation Field was the final stand of the Heaven Observation Sect. Even the fragmented legacies that had fallen into the hands of the various worlds had long been studied for a long time.

Otherwise, how would the Spirit Mammoth World, Spirit Abundance World, Spirit Tinkle World, or even the Spirit Thistle World easily contact worlds outside the Heaven Observation Field?

When the ships were still far from the Spirit Luxuriant World, rumors of them bringing back a world fragment had long since spread through the upper echelons of the major worlds. The news even reached the ears of several Sages watching the Heaven Observation Field.

It was just that the chaotic streams still provided some level of cover. The Stargazers might detect the presence of the ships the Tongyou Institution brought back, they couldn’t tell which was the Star Ship and which was the Ark. They couldn’t determine if there really was a world fragment.

As such, there was no way they could know that what Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar had brought back was a semi-complete Dao Field. Neither would they be able to accurately locate the ships in the chaotic streams.

Well, nothing stopped them from speculating wildly about the new ship that returned though. They even started to exaggerate its significance.

As the ships traveled through the void and approached the Spirit Luxuriant World, the major powers started to send warnings back to their worlds.

Meanwhile, aboard the Jiuyin Ark where Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar was personally stationed, his aura suddenly began to rapidly weaken. His figure turned greatly ethereal, and the phantom of the Void Lotus in his chest became clearer.

At the same time, in the calm space around the Spirit Luxuriant World, Shang Xia’s Big Dipper Star Origin started to contact and expand as though it was about to undergo a special transformation.

During the continuous expansion and contraction of his Big Dipper Star Origin, a vast amount of Seven Star Qi was produced. It was quickly absorbed by the lit star closest to the Big Dipper Star Origin.

This first star, which had already been half-illuminated, started to glow with greater intensity.

It was also then that the first star was about to light up fully when his Origin Star Avatar noticed the Void Lotus in his chest withering. A petal dissolved, and his fading figure solidified slightly.

At the same time, the runes on the Origin Star Robe lit up and started to move around once again. With their activity, the Void Lotus started to wither even faster. Soon, the second and third petals disappeared. The time between their dissolution also shortened.

Where Shang Xia’s true body was, the first star in his dantian was fully illuminated. It seemed to resonate with his Big Dipper Star Origin that was pulsating and it did the same.

All of a sudden, the Big Dipper Star Origin stopped pulsating. Every other star also seemed to enter a strange state of calm, silently waiting for the moment of transformation.

Shang Xia lost all perception of time when it happened. Perhaps only a moment had passed, or maybe a long time had gone by. With the last few petals of the Void Lotus withering, the Big Dipper Star Origin in his dantian and the first star finally trembled. As though they had undergone a special refinement, Seven Star Qi poured out from them and started to enter the second star. The second star became a third as bright as the first.

With that, Shang Xia understood that he had actually stepped into the second star of the Seven Star Realm!

His aura started to expand, and the void tens of thousands of miles around him seemed to boil.

If he didn’t force it to stop, he was afraid a massive celestial phenomenon would appear in the space around the Spirit Luxuriant World, perceivable by those outside the Star Curtain.

Releasing a third of his domain, he quickly suppressed the rippling space. That wasn’t all. It wasn’t enough. Aboard the Jiuyin Ark, Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar's form had once again condensed. This time, he looked even more solid. He was virtually indistinguishable from Shang Xia's true body.

With Seven Star Qi pouring out from his Big Dipper Star Origin and the first star without end, they started to light up the rest of the stars. The other 5 originally dim stars also started to emit a soft glow. Even though they weren’t as bright as the second star, they were no longer dark.

The next moment... Shang Xia’s rapidly strengthening aura suddenly paused. It started to weaken, and Shang Xia once again returned to his state as a Sage who had just broken through.
