Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1754: Essence Luxuriant World

The continents formed from the fragmented mini Spirit Lyric World might have taken shape in the Spirit Luxuriant World, but they couldn’t be considered native continents yet.

Even though the earth veins had started to connect ever since their descent, the continents had yet to connect to the World Origin Source.

After all... The Spirit Luxuriant World had not fully completed its ascension to an Essence World. It could still only support 24 continents.

Only after it completed its transformation would the new continents be connected to the World Origin Source, becoming the 25th and 26th continents of the new Essence World.

Naturally, having missed out on most of the benefits during the world’s ascension, the newly formed continents would inevitably be the least prosperous and least developed. Nevertheless, for the survivors from the Spirit Lyric World, transitioning from the ruins of their world with no future to a world on the verge of ascending... One filled with promise where they could even gain a foothold of their own... It was already an immense stroke of luck!

At the request of the cultivators from the Spirit Lyric World, the continents would be called the Yin Continent and the Yue Continent once the ascension was complete.

After all matters concerning the Spirit Lyric World were settled, the Spirit Luxuriant World’s transformation reached its final stages.

Because of the battle that happened, the Spirit Luxuriant World didn’t just absorb the world essence of the destroyed Spirit Lyric World. 2 Martial Emptiness Realm clones were slain by Shang Xia. They were killed without warning. Since they didn’t have time to expend much energy, every single drop of energy those Sages used to conjure their clones was absorbed by the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Under such circumstances, the overdrawn potential caused by Shang Xia’s forceful acceleration of the world ascension process was filled. Nothing stood in the way of their transformation any longer.

It was also around that time when a flash of sword qi emerged from the Jiao Continent. It appeared above the heavenly screen instantly and it slashed straight at Shang Xia.

There was no trace of panic in Shang Xia’s eyes. Instead, it lit up with excitement. Retreating several hundred miles in an instant, he left his Origin Star Avatar behind. He wanted to observe the strength of the sword qi for himself.

The sword qi that emerged brought with it the power to destroy everything in its path. Wherever the blade pointed, nothing could stop it.

That was Kou Chongxue’s martial intent that he comprehended in the Martial Void Realm. Or better put, it was his rank six sword intent!

When he comprehended his martial intent, he immediately chose to test it out on Shang Xia.

Caught off guard by the sudden strike, especially since his true body retreated, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar was slightly flustered.

However, he was still at the peak of the first star at the end of the day. At the last second, the Origin Star Robe trembled once on him as a blurry phantom was created as the runes on the robe shook slightly. The phantom made up a rank seven Talisman Formation and it stopped the sword qi from coming closer.

Upon impact, the sword qi dissipated. However, 2 of the 7 Formation Talismans that were drawn in the void were destroyed and the formation weakened greatly.

When Shang Xia reappeared, his Origin Star Avatar muttered, “That sword qi has the ability to threaten Sages.”

Shang Xia nodded. How could he not have sensed what his avatar had felt? Especially when he was only a few hundreds miles away and watching as everything unfolded.

Even so, he still asked, "Do you think the patriarch’s injuries have healed?”

"The energy contained in the sword qi shows no weakness..."

Shang Xia nodded in satisfaction. Merging with his Origin Star Avatar, the Origin Star Robe fluttered softly behind him.

Kou Chongxue’s earlier sword strike was both to test out his strength and to send a message that he had recovered.

At the very last second when the world was about to complete its ascension, everyone, with the exception of Shang Xia who couldn’t enter the world, were ready to receive the World’s Will’s blessing.

Across every continent, those at the peak of the Martial Extermination Realm and the Martial Dipper Realm were eagerly waiting for the moment. With the blessing of the World’s Will, they would attempt to break through to the next level! Those in the Martial Extermination Realm would condense their fate dippers, while those in the Martial Dipper Realm would attempt to brand their soul into the world, becoming True Immortals!

...

As then, half a year had passed since the integration of the mini Spirit Lyric World. The 40th year of the Spirit Calendar had quietly rolled around.

According to the calculations of the Grand Stargazers of the Tongyou Institution, the Star Curtain would fall then. After that, the Heaven Observation Field would be fully exposed to the major powers in the sea of stars. novelbuddy.cσ๓

At that moment, Shang Xia felt his Big Dipper Star Origin pulse violently. A massive burst of pure energy that didn’t require refining erupted from it, filling the second star. It quickly became brighter, but it eventually stopped before it was fully lit. Shang Xia was a single step away from entering the third star of the Seven Star Realm.

Turning his gaze abruptly to the Spirit Luxuriant World, he watched as the world expanded visible in front of him.

A voice that seemed to originate from the depths of the world echoed faintly in the minds of every single cultivator of the world...

Essence Luxuriant World!

With that, everyone understood that the transformation of the world had completed. The World’s Will that had completed its transformation had also named it the Essence Luxuriant World!

It was as though every living being in the world rejoiced at that very moment. Even Shang Xia’s soul resonated with the heavens and earth in a strange sense of harmony, celebrating the world’s ascension.

Shang Xia did not rush to enter the Essence Luxuriant World that was capable of supporting a Sage. Instead, he focused his divine soul on a place where world origin had gathered. It was none other than the World Origin Source connected to the You Continent.

The World Origin Source connected to the You Continent doubled in size, but that wasn’t the main point. Instead, the quality had increased so much that it couldn’t even be compared to the world origin of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Before the world ascension, the strand of his soul that was branded in the world nearly caused the World Origin Source to overflow. If he entered the world, the only fate of the World Origin Source connected to the You Continent would be to explode. Now... From the infusion of his senses, he discovered that the World Origin Source could house far more souls than before.

Of course... Those were souls of True Immortals. It was impossible for it to support the soul of another Sage.
