Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1303: The Plot Thickens

Even Shang Xia didn’t know how to estimate the size of the world fragment the Spirit World Ark was carrying.

Song Zhen was merely carrying out his mission when he brought the world fragment to the Essence Xing World and he naturally didn’t know how many continents the fragment contained or how much world origin was left.

Only when the Spirit World Ark passed through the heavenly screen and released the powerful restrictions did they finally discover what it contained. Along with a terrifying storm that swept across the world, Shang Xia noticed a massive piece of land appearing in the skies above the Spirit Luxuriant World as it slowly descended.

Anyone under the world fragment would notice that all light had been blotted out by the massive landmass, and everything was thrown into complete darkness.

Any cultivator who had the ability to fly rose into the skies as they rushed towards the floating world that appeared suddenly, hoping to find out what was happening.

At that moment, Shang Xia stood above the world fragment as he expanded his domain to its limit. The members of the Tongyou Institution who made their preparations quickly moved to receive the world fragment and it was stopped in place as it hovered in the skies.

The world fragment was 40,000 miles across and close to 10,000 miles wide. A majority of the landmass was made up of land, while the rest was filled with the sea.

After releasing the restriction on the world fragment and feeling the world origin leaking from it did Shang Xia understand why they had to release the restrictions under the heavenly screen.

He knew that they had to split it up as quickly as possible. Otherwise, even though a majority of the world origin would still be assimilated to the Spirit Luxuriant World, others would definitely take advantage of the world origin that had leaked.

Shang Xia basically obtained the world fragment alone and the Tongyou Institution had to receive the greatest share of the pie!

Kou Chongxue suddenly appeared beside Shang Xia as they stood above the world fragment.

“Are our preparations completed?” Shang Xia asked as soon as Kou Chongxue arrived.

Kou Chongxue chuckled in response, “They don’t even know what we’re planning, how can they be prepared to mess with us? Naturally, we thought of all angles. The only confrontation we had was when I clashed with Zhang Xuansheng once in the Ji Continent. I could tell that the old fool was trying his best to hide his true strength. He should have reached the peak of the level of External Unity and should be able to break through to the fourth tier soon... Yang Taihe is most definitely not his opponent at this point.”

Shang Xia nodded slowly and continued, “He’s definitely hiding a lot of secrets. No matter what, the situation between our Azure Origin World and the Azure Spiritual World back then is just too strange. Whatever it is, in front of absolute strength, he won’t dare to do much.”

Lowering his gaze, Kou Chongxue looked at the world fragment beneath his feet before staring into the void. He didn’t meet the gaze of those who had arrived and simply asked Shang Xia, “What do you plan to do next?”

“We’ll do this according to the plan we came up with. You’ll split this up! After all, your Hidden Frost Sword is much better at cutting things up precisely.”

Kou Chongxue burst into laughter and pointed at Shang Xia while chiding, “Damn brat! Alright, fine! I’ll take advantage of your achievements this once!”

After he spoke, the Hidden Frost Sword in his hand slashed in the eastern direction, cutting off a huge chunk of land. Before it could fall freely towards the land below, Sun Haiwei and the disciples of the institution grabbed it and started to slowly drag it towards the Hai Continent. Members of the Tianya Pavilion also came to help.

When the Hai Continent was established, it was merely 6,000 miles across and its foundations couldn’t even be compared to the Sha Continent or Yan Continent, which were already the most desolate continents on the Spirit Luxuriant World.

With a single slash of his sword, Kou Chongxue separated close to 10,000 miles of land of the Hai Continent. It was more than a quarter of the world fragment. A third of the landmass he allocated contained bodies of water, but that didn’t matter.

Once the landmass was integrated into the Hai Continent, the size of the Hai Continent would most likely surpass 10,000 miles. The world origin it contained would also be greatly replenished, and even if the Hai Continent couldn’t be compared to the You Continent, it wouldn’t be too lacking.

With a portion of the world fragment separated, world origin started to leak at an even faster pace. Kou Chongxue couldn’t help but look at Shang Xia and ask, “Should we continue?”

“Yes.” Shang Xia muttered after a short moment of contemplation.

Without hesitation, Kou Chongxue’s sword cut away a 5,000 mile chunk of land which contained the last body of water that was cut away and fell towards the east of the You Continent where a massive ocean was.

When Shang Xia entered the Six Direction Realm, the You Continent was barely 8,000 miles wide. As he continued to develop it, the size of the You Continent increased gradually and reached the 10,000 miles mark. However, the calculation of their landmass didn’t include the islands that existed to the east of the continent.

The moment the landmass was integrated into the You Continent, it would experience yet another expansion.

More importantly, the You Continent’s expansion already allowed it to stretch past the Liao Continent and nearly connect to the Ji Continent in the east!

Once that happened, the Tongyou Institution’s plan to obtain the Ji Continent would no longer be hidden.

After making 2 cuts to the world fragment, the high-level True Immortals of the Tongyou Institution hovered in mid air and no longer showed any signs of movement.

Shang Xia quickly laughed, “Are you really not planning to strengthen the foundations of your Jiao Continent?”

Shaking his head, Kou Chongxue muttered, “The Jiao Continent is too big and fragmented. It’s difficult for me to fully control the World Origin Source connected to it and if I continue to expand, we might just lose it to others. I’ll deal with it in the future...”

The Jiao Continent might be fragmented, but it had already reached a size of 13,000 miles.

The only problem they were facing was that the World Origin Source connected to it was a little lacking. It’s weaker than the You Continent, but still stronger than most of the continents of the Spirit Luxuriant World. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to support Kou Chongxue’s cultivation at the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm.

World origin was still pouring out from the world fragment, but by that time, the Formation Hall had already laid down simple formations to control the world origin that was emerging.

Integration of the landmasses couldn’t be done instantly. It would take some time, but there were things that could be done in the meantime. For example... Sun Haiwei had already swallowed her advancement medicine and was using the blessing of the World’s Will along with the torrential amount of world origin to start her breakthrough to the Martial Void Realm
