Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1367: Breaking The Barrier

Since he learned how to craft the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman, Shang Xia created more than 10 of them. A good portion of them went to the Wanyun Association.

Shang Xia might have seen Shen Chongshan use it, and he used 1 himself when he ran into trouble back then and didn’t wish to reveal his identity, his understanding of the talisman paled in comparison to the Wanyun Association.

Now, the Wanyun Association was showing him the correct way to use the talisman as he noticed how the effects of the talisman fused completely with their protection barrier around the Star Ships.

Thinking about their floating city, Shang Xia realized that since the city was countless times larger than the Star Ship, it made sense that they were able to escape from a behemoth like the Chen Dynasty.

He extended his divine soul to notice spatial fluctuations in 5 different directions. Those ships seemed to be advancing at the same time and were even stronger than the massive Star Ship he was on.

Other than that, there was another ship behind the main ship of the Wanyun Association that was traveling closely behind them and was pouring energy into them without a care in the world.

If Shang Xia wasn’t mistaken, the ship that was supplying them with energy was the last ship of the fleet and it was also the ship Zhang Shun personally took charge of.

A thought flashed through his mind all of a sudden. He wondered if there was something special about the last ship for Zhang Shun to personally protect, and the possibility of it being a disguised ark entered Shang Xia’s mind.

He felt that it was a real possibility!

Of the 4 ships that were flying straight at the Spirit Dawn World, the Twin Star Pirates probably also had a Spirit Ark among them. There was no way they could possess more than 1. It didn’t make sense for the Wanyun Association to attack the Spirit Dawn World with the Twin Star Pirates if only their allies had a Spirit Ark, and that would mean that they most likely had their own.

Shang Xia turned to stare at the ship beside him. It was a massive Star Ship from the Twin Star Pirates, and if his conjecture was correct, both ships behind them were disguised Spirit Arks.

What Shang Xia found to be a surprise was the fact that even though both Capital Star Ships were storing energy to break through the heavenly screen, the Twin Star Pirates seemed a little weaker. However, there was something interesting about the energy they stored.

The experts of the Spirit Dawn World who had discovered their actions also launched a ferocious counterattack.

From what Shang Xia could see, 7 powerful vortexes appeared above their heavenly screen, drawing all the energy around them.

At the same time, many smaller spots appeared beneath the heavenly screen and Shang Xia felt that those should be the Star Ships the various powers of the world managed to scramble. Their main goal was to probably stop the charge of the 4 ships.

As the battle was about to reach its climax, a burst of profound light appeared in the depths of the sea of stars.

Not long after, several other light spots appeared, but many of them gradually disappeared after some time.

The charge of the Wanyun Association and the Twin Star Pirates’ Capital Star Ships weren’t affected in the slightest. Instead, they were getting faster and faster as the distance between them and the world shortened to around 200,000 miles.

Looking behind the ship, Shang Xia had a feeling the Star Ships that appeared were probably those sent out by the Spirit Dawn World and were intercepted by the other ships as they returned.

He wasn’t surprised that they were swept away so easily. If the alliance between the Wanyun Association and the Twin Star Pirates couldn’t even deal with those patrol ships, they should just forget about their invasion and go home and cry to their mothers.

Entering the 200,000 mile range, they quickly ran into the attacks of the Spirit Dawn World.

Earlier, the powerful vortexes appeared as the 7 great Elysiums of their world were drawing on their world origin. 7 pillars of light emerged from those vortexes before fusing together to rush at the very first ship.

Standing on the deck, Shang Xia stared straight at the pillar of light that had formed which was comparable to the size of half the ship.

The pillar of light contained an immense might, and even though they were thousands of miles apart at the moment, Shang Xia felt his scalp tingling as though a calamity was about to befall him.

Extending his soul into the depths of the ship, he felt that the only thing that could stop the pillar of light from destroying them all was the Wanyun Association Fleet’s ability to wield Seventh Order energy.

Shang Xia was no stranger to Seventh Order energy. The might of the pillar of light had already reached that level and he knew the only thing that could stop it was an attack of the same level!

What caused his heart to sink was when he felt the energy still gathering within the ship. Its aura was growing steadily, but it was too slow!

Shang Xia pinched his glabella instinctively and felt the Crimson Soul Tablet thumping in his sea of consciousness.

As soon as he felt it, a wave of calm washed over it. However, he also forcefully suppressed whatever the tablet planned to do.

It was then that Gong Zhuo’s voice came from behind him, “True Immortal Shang, you are calm indeed... When I first saw an attack of this caliber, I was unable to stay as collected as you.”

Shang Xia didn’t turn his head while chuckling, “I’m alright... I just believe that your Wanyun Association won’t waste the lives of everyone on your Capital Star Ship.”

As soon as he spoke, the pillar of light crashed into the ship.

Shang Xia and Gong Zhuo felt a searing pain in their eyes as the loud blast nearly deafened the both of them.

That wasn’t all. An even stronger shockwave followed, and the massive Star Ship was stopped in its tracks for a good second. In fact, it showed signs of being pushed back and eventually, it did. Shang Xia had to take 2 steps back to stabilize himself, but Gong Zhuo looked a lot worse.

Shang Xia heard some small pops coming from the interior of the ship, as though it was about to shatter the next moment.

Despite taking the attack, Shang Xia could feel that they were still gathering more energy. It also showed no signs of being released.

They were still waiting to unleash their Seventh Order energy at the Spirit Dawn World!

With the blazing light slowly weakening around the ship, Shang Xia could see the other ships continuing to rush forward. They had already advanced thousands of miles.

Gong Zhuo’s sigh came from behind him the next moment. “Damn... Just this hit wasted your efforts to craft 2 Myriad Tinted Cloud Talismans...”

“It only takes 2 of them to stop an attack that contains Seventh Order energy?” Shang Xia gasped while turning around in shock.

Gong Zhuo chuckled in response, “Of course not. The formation of the Spirit Dawn World barely managed to control Seventh Order energy. Moreover, the blast blew a massive hole in the ship that had to be fixed. The Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman is the core of our Wanyun Association, and as long as we have enough of them, we can reactivate the Myriad Tinted Cloud Protection Formation any time we want. Earlier, when we took that blow, we activated 2 of them. They’re like peak-tier rank six protection formations that weakened the impact.”

“I see...” Shang Xia nodded slowly, As it turned out, the Wanyun Association didn’t tell him the full extent of the talisman’s use as it could also be integrated into a formation, but that was to be expected.

Gong Zhuo could sense what Shang Xia was feeling and he laughed at the side, “True Immortal Shang, please understand... Actually, the formation is like the talisman. It’s a secret of my Wanyun Association. After our senior Talisman Grandmaster created the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman, he expanded on it to create the Talisman Formation.”

Shang Xia laughed in response, “True Immortal Gong, there is no need to explain. I naturally understand that we have to keep some things a secret. If I was in your shoes, I would have done the same.”

Gong Zhuo revealed a soft smile and nodded.

Turning to the Spirit Dawn World, Shang Xia asked, “Their attack will come again. How are you planning to stop it this time? You can’t take another hit like that, right?”

Both of them stared at the heavenly screen that was less than 150,000 miles from them. Even though they started moving again after the pillar of light faded, they were still thousands of miles away from the next ship. The Star Ship of the Twin Star Pirates was probably supposed to take the next hit.

“The Spirit Dawn World might not be able to launch the next attack...” Gong Zhuo laughed suddenly.

Seeing the confused look on Shang Xia’s face, Gong Zhuo merely gestured for him to take a look.

When Shang Xia looked back at the Spirit Dawn World, he noticed another pillar of gray light. However, it didn’t come from the Spirit Dawn World. Instead, it was shot from the Twin Star Pirates’ ship.

The pillar of light shattered the void as soon as it appeared, and it exploded when it was thousands of miles away from the Spirit Dawn World’s heavenly screen. It turned into a huge ball of energy that scattered all over the heavenly screen while also conveniently blocking the 7 huge vortexes.

“Is it that simple?” Shang Xia frowned and looked at Gong Zhuo.

If they could stop the other side’s attack by blocking their sight, it would be too much of a joke...

A mysterious smile appeared on Gong Zhuo’s face and he muttered softly, “Of course that’s not everything the Twin Star Pirates can do. Just sit back and watch!”
