Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 980: Retreating Unharmed, Fusing with the Elysium

Shang Xia might have found a rare opportunity to fight against a True Immortal and was planning to go all out to test the limits of his ability against True Immortal Tang Yu who entered the Martial Void Realm for an unknown amount of time, but from the start of their exchange, all she did was take 2 small steps!

Even after giving it everything he had, he was only able to disrupt her attempts at getting closer!

Of course... Even though he merely affected her movements... To True Immortal Tang Yu, his actions caused her endless humiliation!

At the end of the day, all he was to her was a ‘mere Martial Dipper Realm rat’. No matter what, she was a True Immortal! As a True Immortal, she hadn’t even seen the other party’s true appearance and she couldn’t even accurately determine his cultivation realm!

Was there any Martial Dipper Realm expert who could achieve something like that?!

Was he just too strong, or was True Immortal Tang Yu just a joke?!

Fortunately, she was in the Heavenly Lake Elysium and there was no one who could see what was happening. If what happened were to spread in the Spirit Abundance World, she would become a laughingstock!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She entered the Heavenly Lake Elysium in high spirits and even after True Immortal Chong Shan’s interference, she wasn’t too affected. Now, she was really starting to get mad.

As she took her third step, the space within the Heavenly Lake Elysium trembled violently. She was no longer bothered by the strange power that was obstructing her as she circulated her inner qi without restraint. She knew that the other party would only exhaust himself faster. She stomped resolutely onto her next position.

5000 feet!

The distance between them shrank by a third, and the mist around True Immortal Tang Yu expanded greatly. The disturbance was felt throughout the entire Heavenly Lake Elysium as massive waves crashed in all directions.

True Immortal Tang Yu took another step and the void around her turned blurry. This time, she managed to travel 8000 feet!

The distance between Shang Xia and True Immortal Tang Yu was less than 5 miles at that point and through the clear water of the Heavenly Lake, True Immortal Tang Yu managed to catch a blurry image of Shang Xia.

What she didn’t know was that through the water, Shang Xia also managed to see her true appearance.

Raising her legs again, True Immortal Tang Yu wanted to take another step when she felt the void around her loosening greatly. She managed to cross the entire distance and appear where Shang Xia originally was.

Did he give up resisting?!

No, wait a second! Where the hell is he?!

True Immortal Tang Yu swept her divine soul through the Heavenly Lake Elysium and her powerful aura covered the entire region. Powerful fluctuations caused terrifying winds to sweep through the Heavenly Lake Elysium and giant tsunami-like waves formed.

He was gone! He disappeared from the Heavenly Lake Elysium right under her nose!

She felt extremely humiliated by what just happened as she continued to sweep her divine soul through the Elysium to look for any traces of that person. She refused to believe that a mere Martial Dipper Realm cultivator had such amazing abilities!

However, it had only been a moment when the Heavenly Lake Elysium showed signs of collapsing.

True Immortal Tang Yu finally snapped back to reality and realized what had happened. The Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar disappeared along with that mysterious rat!

“Senior Sister Su, stop that guy! He stole the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar!”

True Immortal Tang Yu understood that the rat had escaped and she immediately requested True Immortal Su Kun’s help.

The Heavenly Lake Elysium that had lost its Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar was no longer able to support the massive space it contained. The spatial collapse in several regions was just the start. If she couldn’t stabilize the space within, a large-scale collapse would happen soon!

“That thief... Liar... He wrecked the entire place... How dare he...” Even with her years of refined mannerisms, she couldn’t help but curse out loud. She basically threw out all the curses that had been hidden in her mind in her years of cultivation.

Despite her rage, the Heavenly Lake Elysium didn’t stop collapsing. Instead, it started to grow in intensity.

Massive holes in the void appeared and they started to swallow everything in its way. Even the entrance of the Secret Region containing the Heavenly Lake Elysium was affected. Even the void around the Five Links Ridge in the surroundings didn’t remain stable.

Only then did True Immortal Tang Yu realize that something was wrong. Even if the Heavenly Lake Elysium lost the support of its Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar, the destruction shouldn’t happen so quickly!

The Heavenly Lake Elysium wasn’t formed recently. Its history stretched back more than a thousand years and it had been tempered and strengthened by many True Immortals since its existence. The space it contained should be extremely sturdy and even without the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar, it should be able to maintain itself for some time. At the very least, the collapse should be slow and gradual. The entire region shouldn’t crumble as quickly as it was!

Finally regaining her wits, she finally realized the cause of the rapid destruction. More than half the world origin within the Heavenly Lake Origin was gone!

Is Chong Shan behind this?

No... He understands the importance of maintaining the balance between the 9 great powers of our Spirit Abundance World. In fact... He should be even clearer than me on what that means!

If he’s not behind this... That could only mean that his junior did this when attempting to break through to the Martial Void Realm!

... The more she thought about it, the less it made sense. After all, during the ascension process, the junior of the Emptiness Drifting Mountain should have been drawing world origin from the World Origin Source through the Origin Holy Artifact. It was something she and her Senior Sister Su felt earlier...

Moreover, even when breaking through to the Martial Void Realm, it didn’t make sense for them to be able to devour more than half the world origin in an Elysium!

If True Immortal Chong Shan wasn’t behind it, and the junior of the Emptiness Drifting Mountain wasn’t either... Who else could it be?!

True Immortal Tang Yu couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard she tried but the speed at which the Elysium was collapsing wasn’t giving her the luxury of time to think. In the short time that passed, a sixth of the Heavenly Lake Elysium had already collapsed and it wasn’t slowing down!

“Senior Sister Su, the interior of the Elysium is crumbling! Please assist me!” True Immortal Tang Yu tried to stop the collapse, but the effects were barely visible.

She might be a Martial Void Realm True Immortal, but she was no old monster in the Martial Void Realm! She knew how to draw enough energy to supply herself, but she didn’t know how she should go about using it to prevent the collapse of an Elysium!

Everyone had their own path of cultivation and True Immortal Tang Yu could be considered a wandering cultivator before she received the help of the Heaven Embroidery Palace. She had no backing in the past and there was no superpower to provide her with any cultivation help. She would be lucky to receive enough cultivation resources. She didn’t have the time to develop other auxiliary abilities.

However, the True Immortals outside didn’t seem to hear her cry for help.

Actually, the infiltration of the Heavenly Lake Elysium had already attracted the attention of many True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World. It might not have been long since it happened, but the reaction speed of True Immortals was nothing to scoff at.

At the moment, True Immortal Su Kun and True Immortal Chong Shan were the only ones who were above the Five Links Ridge, but at least 7 other True Immortals’ divine souls had descended.

Everyone paying attention to the situation was equally as shocked when they noticed the collapse of the Heavenly Lake Elysium caused by the disappearance of the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar.

The next moment, 2 of the divine souls that had descended disappeared as they went to look outside the heavenly screen.

When the others noticed the speed at which the Heavenly Lake Elysium was collapsing due to the lack of world origin, a few other divine souls disappeared.

Without a doubt, all of them couldn’t sit still and watch as the Heavenly Lake Elysium crumbled to the ground! Those who left clearly tried to look for Shang Xia who stole the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar! Oh right... To be more accurate, they were looking for ‘Shang Jianqi’ of the Star Origin City who stole the treasure!

The Heavenly Lake Elysium continued to crumble, and even with True Immortal Tang Yu’s resistance, if the Elysium continued to collapse, it would pass its critical point and there would be no stopping it!

True Immortal Tang Yu, who was trying her best, cried for help once again. “Senior Sister Su, a fifth of the Elysium has already collapsed! Is there any way you can stop it from worsening?!”

In the void above the Five Links Ridge, True Immortal Su Kun and True Immortal Chong Shan exchanged a glance and refused to respond to True Immortal Tang Yu’s second cry for help.

The silence caused True Immortal Tang Yu to realize something was wrong. No longer bothering with the collapsing Heavenly Lake Elysium, she transformed into a streak of light that flew towards the exit. However... When she was about to leave the Elysium, a beautiful and powerful curtain of light that was made with 2 different Void Origins appeared to seal the exit, trapping her within.

“Senior Sister Su, Senior Chong Shan, what’s the meaning of this?” True Immortal Tang Yu was stunned for a second, but she felt a chill running down her heart. However, it quickly transformed into endless rage as she questioned the 2 outside. While she screamed, she started to store her energy to break the curtain of light.

Rumble...

A deep blast rang through the Heavenly Lake Continent as the exchange between the 3 True Immortals caused the region to become even more damaged.

Unfortunately, True Immortal Tang Yu was a first tier Martial Void Realm True Immortal. How could she do anything against the combined might of 2 second tier Martial Void Realm True Immortals?

“Junior Sister Tang, please remain calm.” True Immortal Su Kun’s voice eventually rang in her ears. “You understand what we have to do. We cannot allow any Elysium to crumble! If we can’t find the missing Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar or locate a replacement pillar, we can only trouble you to support the Elysium with your Void Origin!”
