Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1420: Severed!

Dou Jie used himself as a beacon as he called for the godly strike from the Star Origin Dao Field.

The moment it arrived, it scattered the cloud created by the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman. Unfortunately for him, he was still unable to break through the encirclement of the Spirit Luxuriant World with Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue making their arrival.

After the cloud was destroyed, Li Jidao stared in shock at Shang Xia’s External Avatar with half his face blown apart and an arm. Even a small portion of his left leg was blown to bits. He wanted to say something to thank Shang Xia, but the words were stuck in his throat.

Seeing Li Jidao whose body was in an extremely battered state but still perfectly intact, Shang Xia’s External Avatar that had been dragging him along revealed a slight smile to indicate his acknowledgement of Li Jidao’s thanks. However, the skin on his face was also blown to nothingness and the smile looked a little creepy.

At the critical moment, Shang Xia’s External Avatar took the brunt of the blow for Li Jidao and saved him from certain death. At the same time, he also managed to push Li Jidao over to the rest of the True Immortals who had deployed their combined formation.

“True Immortal Shang, you...” Li Jidao really didn’t know how to convey how grateful he was. He understood that if anyone else suffered such heavy injuries, they would have long since departed from the world.

The only thing he didn’t understand was how the External Avatar before him looked so unaffected even though all the skin on his body had been blown to shreds.

Right... Could this be the difference be why True Immortal Shang called it an External Avatar and not his clone?

If a clone suffered so much damage, it would have exploded into a ball of qi. How could it drag him back to safety?

“Your External Avatar... Are you able to restore it? If you need anything, feel free to say the word. As long as my Divine Capital Sect has it, I’ll provide as much as you need to recover!” Seeing how the External Avatar was acting, Li Jidao felt that it was very possible for it to recover.

However, Shang Xia’s External Avatar revealed yet another creepy smile with his teeth fully exposed. “Many thanks, True Immortal Li, I don’t need anything at the moment.”

After he spoke, Shang Xia’s External Avatar took out a gourd from his spatial artifact and shook it slightly. A silvery white liquid that shone like stars in the night skies entered his lips.

Under Li Jidao’s shocked gaze, a layer of starlight quickly enveloped Shang Xia’s External Avatar. It started to grow in intensity. His exposed organs, along with his destroyed limbs, started to recover.

Unfortunately, halfway through the process, Shang Xia shook the gourd and sighed, “Shame. It’s still too little. Damn it, I can’t recover a leg even after drinking so much!”

After he spoke, he took out another gourd and took a huge swig. The fragrance of spiritual wine filled the void.

Shang Xia’s External Avatar started to recover, but the speed was much slower than before.

Li Jidao could clearly feel his aura strengthening despite the deformed appearance.

The first gourd contained 3 drops of Three Lights Water and the second contained rank four spiritual wine from his stash from his adventures in the Taihang Mountains.

“Alright. It’s time for them to pay the price.” Shang Xia’s External Clone barely repaired his body when he stared at Dou Jie who was still surrounded by the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Beside him, Li Jidao didn’t look too confident and he asked in a low voice, “What happens if they ask for more help from the Star Origin Lord Manor?”

Shang Xia’s External Avatar glanced at him and chuckled, “They won’t be able to send out such a powerful strike a second time in such short succession! Moreover... It has already been so long. My true body and Patriarch Kou should have already returned...”

They had indeed returned, and they arrived after the power contained in the strike across the stars dissipated.

Li Jidao’s eyes widened in shock as the lingering fear from the attack from the Star Origin Dao Field disappeared. He quickly asked, “Is your true body able to stop the strike from the Star Origin Lord Manor with the help of Patriarch Kou?”

Shang Xia’s External Avatar looked into the distance and his voice became a little strange. “I wonder...”

Realizing that he was surrounded once again, Dou Jie was thrown into a desperate struggle for his life. The True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World spread out to form a large encirclement, and they stood in special positions in the void while listening to Zhang Xuansheng’s instructions to attack the enemy.

If Dou Jie wanted to call for another attack across the stars, locking on to anyone would be a challenge. Even if he did, the mighty attack they threw at them would be able to kill 1 expert at most, wasting a good deal of their strength. They wouldn’t be able to break the battle formation either, and the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World had all the time in the world to kill Dou Jie.

What he faced was the combined might of the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World with more than 10 True Immortals!

Dou Jie’s black cloak started to sustain great damage and injuries started to appear on his body. It looked like it wouldn’t be long before his artifact was destroyed.

Zhang Xuansheng’s mirror released beam after beam of light at Dou Jie, restricting the area he would be able to move and turning him into a live target for the others.

Shang Xia’s External Avatar, which looked like he suffered catastrophic damage earlier and only had half his body left, maintained some semblance of combat strength. In fact, it was impressive considering he only had part of his body left. He attacked from the side, tearing Dou Jiu’s artifact apart, sending powerful streams of sword qi to slice at him.

Understanding he would die if things kept up, Dou Jiu could only call for more support from the Star Origin Lord Manor.

This time, he chose to direct the attack to Zhang Xuansheng, who posed the strongest restriction on him.

The void in the distance was torn apart again as another pillar of light emerged. This time, it looked a little thinner than before, but the energy it contained seemed a lot more concentrated.

Before it could land on Zhang Xuansheng, the pillar of light was forcefully sliced apart in the void!

Smaller pillars of light appeared from many other directions in the void and poked into the vast sea of stars, causing massive spatial fluctuations and disrupting any escape attempts.
