Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1418: Fifth Tier Dou Jie

After the black cloaked True Immortal got rid of his special technique, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World were thrown into chaos instantly.

His chance to take out the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World had come, and obviously, he chose the best choice of them all. He targeted Zhang Xuansheng, the only high-level Elysium True Immortal.

Too bad for him, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World weren’t rookies. With Yang Taihe reacting quickly, he quickly approached Zhang Xuansheng to help stop the assault of the mysterious True Immortal.

Unable to break through their defenses in an instant, the black cloaked True Immortal turned his attention to Yang Taihe, planning to get rid of the third tier Elysium True Immortal.

Right as he was about to succeed in dealing a heavy blow onto Yang Taihe, Shang Xia’s External Avatar tore through the void and appeared out of nowhere, saving Yang Taihe and tearing a hole through his cloak.

Helpless, the mysterious True Immortal could only change his target to another second tier True Immortal of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

This time, he understood that he couldn’t fail no matter what. He had to make the Spirit Luxuriant World suffer!

The second the thought came to mind, the mysterious expert realized that his standards had been dropping continuously ever since the battle started.

Killing a third tier True Immortal because I can’t kill the fourth tier, killing a second tier because that also failed...

Regardless, he turned his sights to Li Jidao, the second tier Elysium True Immortal of the Divine Capital Sect.

It wasn’t because Li Jidao was closest to him at the moment, or because Li Jidao was weak! On the contrary, he was right beside Liu Jingsheng and Huang Jinghan at the moment, but he chose to pass on them. He planned to take Li Jidao down precisely because he had been in the second tier for the longest time and was the strongest among them!

Also... It was because he was alone at the moment.

Since Liu Jingsheng and Huang Jinghan were from the same faction, they had already gathered together. Yin Jingxu and Zhang Jianzi were new to their cultivation realm, and also huddled close to each other. The only person who was truly alone at the moment was Li Jidao!

Anyway, as long as his target was a second tier True Immortal who was alone, it didn’t matter how strong they were. To a peak-tier fourth tier True Immortal like the mysterious black cloaked expert, there was no difference! They were weaklings either way!

A ball of condensed black flame rushed at Li Jidao the next moment. It was something even Zhang Xuansheng found difficult to block earlier, but this time, it was directed at the second tier True Immortal.

An unusually serious expression could be seen on Li Jidao’s face when he saw the incoming strike. The sword in his hand made multiple slashes in mid air and even though it cut the cluster of fire up into several smaller ones, his weapon had been corroded to some extent. The energy contained in the flame even entered his body through his weapon.

Li Jidao wanted to retreat, but the black cloaked True Immortal rushed at him and rapidly approached, and the flames he summoned were about to swallow the Elysium True Immortal of the Divine Capital Sect whole.

Shang Xia’s External Avatar, Zhang Xuansheng, and the other second tier True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World were unable to head over to provide any assistance, and at the very last second before Li Jidao would meet a certain death, a pillar of light made up of 4 different qis tore through the space from hundreds of thousands of miles away, shooting straight at the enemy.

A cold grunt left the lips of the black cloaked True Immortal. When the pillar of light appeared, he could guess where it came from. What he didn’t expect was that the pillar of light actually contained a majestic aura that made him feel a slight pressure. He couldn’t help but stop his attempt on Li Jidao’s life!

Li Jidao could also be considered a powerful expert in the Spirit Luxuriant World. Despite feeling like he just escaped the jaws of death, he wasn’t overwhelmed in fear. He managed to compose himself to group with Liu Jingsheng and Huang Jinghan who approached.

When the enemy stopped the pillar of light released by Jiu Jing, Ge Qingzhu, and the rest, Shang Xia’s External Avatar and Zhang Xuansheng moved to surround him again.

At the same time, the others also pressed closer, forming a stronger encirclement.

Even with his cultivation at the peak of the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm, he wouldn’t be able to escape against such a strong lineup.

“Sneaky motherfucker, we’re going to see who you really are!” Li Jidao, who barely avoided his fate of being slain, couldn’t help but curse. The anger and killing intent in his voice couldn’t be hidden.

He wasn’t the only one. The other True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World also wanted to strip the mysterious expert of his disguise and see who he really was.

“Hehe... Even though True Immortal Little Shang’s External Avatar or whatever you call it has the ability of a high-level True Immortal and is an extremely impressive feat, it’s a shame he didn’t come himself!” The black cloaked True Immortal snorted coldly. “Don’t you want to know who I really am? Alright, there’s no need for me to hide my identity any longer.”

Even though he spoke, he didn’t tear the mask off his face. Instead, he started to gather his energy, trying to break through the encirclement before they could react.

Too bad for him, they didn’t let their guard down. He failed to find an opening and Shang Xia’s External Avatar’s sneer came next. “Heh... For you to act like this... Are you embarrassed to meet an old friend?”

After he spoke, Shang Xia’s External Avatar released a five colored sword qi that formed a ring around the mysterious expert before attempting to cut him in half from the waist.

A powerful flame emerged from his cloak, swallowing him whole at the very last second.

“Heh, where do you think you’re going?” Zhang Xuansheng sneered and disrupted the void around them the moment the flames appeared. He experienced it once before and he wasn’t going to make the same mistake.

Even if the mysterious expert had some secret escape art, he wouldn’t dare to unleash it with such powerful spatial fluctuations in the area.

Zhang Xuansheng’s move proved to be extremely timely as the black cloaked True Immortal tumbled out from the void not too far away.

It was then that the sword qi Shang Xia released earlier burst apart, forming streams of energy made from his Six Direction Qi.

The domain the mysterious expert released soon saw many holes as the mask on his face was torn apart.

“You... It’s you?” Shang Xia gasped when he saw the true appearance of the expert who came.

“Looks like it’s True Immortal Dou Jie of the Star Origin Lord Manor!” Zhang Xuansheng’s gaze turned frosty and killing intent flashed in his eyes.

“Heh... I thought that by hiding my cultivation at the fourth tier, I would still be able to toy with you however I like. I didn’t think that my identity would be revealed... Well, since that’s the case, are you prepared to face the consequences?”
