Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 85: Bloodline Suppression

The giant palm print was stopped by the barrier eventually, but the impact caused the peaks to tremble and shake.

Everyone at the peak of the mountain felt like a tiny ant ready to be crushed by the giant boot that was the palm print!

Luckily for them, the formless barrier managed to stop it.

Before they could heave a sigh of relief, the barrier above them counterattacked. It was as though the barrier had a mind of its own!

Who would have thought that a second wave of energy would arrive, popping the barrier of light it was nothing!

In an instant, the Kaiyuan Peak lost its protection layer!

The sudden change shocked the cultivators on the Kaiyuan Peak!

Jia Yuntian, who had been forced to the edge of the mountain, roared with laughter before jumping off.

Yuan Zhen reacted quickly and sent a ray of energy shooting into his back. Jia Yuntian’s laughter stopped abruptly as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body swayed violently as he fell uncontrollably off the mountain.

As Yuan Zhen and the others rushed over to the side, they saw a similar palm appear from nowhere to grab Jia Yuntian. The giant palm brought the traitor away.

“Jia Yuntian, if you’re still alive, tell us your real name!” Yuan Zhen yelled. He knew that his final attack had the ability to injure Jia Yuntian, but not kill him.

The bloodstained figure slowly crawled to his feet on the palm that saved him and spat out a sinister smile. “Yuan Zhen, Yun Yifei, Shang Xia, I’ll remember this defeat today! I, Murong Yuntian, will pay you back a thousand times in the future! Hahaha!”

Yuan Zhen gnashed his teeth and growled, “Jia Yuntian? Murong Yuntian? Heh, the Murong Family, part of the Evil Remnants that form the Rose Party. Alright, we’ll see what happens when we meet next.”

Shang Xia emerged from his hiding spot and approached the two. “Which families make up the Evil Remnants? I heard that there’s some connection between them and the five great families of the past…”

Yuan Zhen returned the sword to Shang Xia and retrieved his sword with a wave of his hand. He didn’t answer Shang Xia’s question immediately. Instead, he sighed, “The person who saved him was definitely at the Fourth Order Primary Realm. It has to be an expert from the Rose Party!”

“The protection formation around the Kaiyuan Peak is broken, and there isn’t any sign of recovery… Oh shit!” Yuan Zhen yelled and rushed towards the center of the peak.

Shang Xia’s heart sank. Everyone forgot that the person controlling the protection formation around the Kaiyuan Peak was the severely injured Yuan Zilu!

They thought about how the protection formation exploded at the final stages of the battle and realized that something was wrong. Moreover, it wasn’t showing any signs of recovering. Something bad definitely happened to Yuan Zilu! As such, the three of them rushed over to where he was stationed.

Who knew if Murong Yuntian and the expert who saved him would return for a counterattack?

The movements on the Kaiyuan Peak quickly attracted the attention of those of the Four Spiritual Peak. They didn’t wait for Yuan Zhen to arrive at the core of the protection formation before launching another offensive.

Yan Que was no fool either. He attacked the bridge connecting the Kaiyuan Peak and the main peak immediately.

Shang Xi tried once again to repel Yan Que’s staff and sent the free chain flying upwards. When Yan Que’s staff smashed into the bridge, the chains went soft once again, but he was prepared for it. He yanked his staff up violently.

Shang Xi wanted to work with Yuan Zilu to resist the attack for a second time, but who would have thought that the chains connecting the bridge would sway unsteadily through the air? Yan Que’s attack shattered the second last chain connecting the bridge easily.

How could it be?!

Only then did Shang Xi think of the previous scene where the protection screen above the Kaiyuan Peak popped. A sense of foreboding entered Shang Xi’s heart.

Something bad happened to Yuan Zilu!

With no one to helm the protection formation on the Kaiyuan Peak, the bridge was naturally unable to withstand a strike from a Martial Extermination realm expert!

The moment the bridge connecting the main peak to the Kaiyuan Peak was broken, the protection formation was seriously weakened!

Yan Que’s laughter boomed through the air.

When the giant palm appeared above the Kaiyuan Peak, he knew that his chance had come.

The moment he shattered the bridge, destroying the protection formation around the Tongyou Peak became a matter of time! Without a doubt, he was the one who gained the most credit during this war!

He could imagine receiving the congratulations and thanks of the great races that resided on the Four Spiritual Peak.

Before the battle, Yan Su’er chose to enter seclusion to recover and many of the other races were enraged by her actions. Since he took her place and gained a huge credit, he could borrow the power of the other races to increase his position in the Wind Swallow Race!

The more he thought about it, the louder his laughter became. He swung his staff at the final chain connecting the bridge.

As his staff came crashing down, the two chains that swayed in the wind wrapped around it in an attempt to stop him. Shang Xi used all her strength to resist Yan Que’s attack.

“You’re overestimating yourself!” Yan Que sneered as he smacked the chain away with a flip of his wrist.

.

However, a rattling sound came from behind him all of a sudden and another chain whipped towards his waist. With Ji Min controlling the formation on the Qiling Peak, he made a last-ditch effort with the help of the other cultivators there to stop Yan Que.

Ever since the bridge between the Kaiyuan Peak and Qiling Peak was broken by Murong Yuntian, Ji Min took control of the protection formation and managed to gain control over a single chain. He wasn’t especially strong, but he was at the Martial Intent Realm. Controlling one chain wasn’t too bad.

Yan Que snorted coldly as he rose higher into the air. The chain that came from the Qiling Peak missed entirely.

However, Yan Que wasn’t Ji Min’s target. The chain went to assist Shang Xi.

“Do you really think that you can stop me?” Yan Que cried as he flung his cape behind him. A shockwave tore through the skies and traveled through the two chains to slam heavily into Shang Xi and Ji Min.

Ji Min was still alright. He was at the large completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm, and he had the help of several lower leveled cultivators to tank the hit. He forcefully took on the blow with the help of the protection formation and everyone else.

Shang Xi wasn’t so lucky. Moreover, her cultivation was weaker than Ji Min's!

Her face flushed red when the shockwave came, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face went completely pale and she could no longer grip the chains. She was almost sent flying through the air when a palm pressed against her back, suppressing her rampaging inner qi.

Turning around suddenly, Shang Xi gasped in shock, “You?!”

…

“Let’s see how long you can hold out for?” Yan Que could feel the weakening resistance and he attacked again. This time, he was sure that he would injure, if not kill, one of the defenders.

All of a sudden, the chain controlled by Shang Xi returned to life and whipped towards him.

“Another one?! So what if someone else came?” Yan Que roared. He didn’t plan to avoid the chain this time and he chose to meet it head-on.

He didn’t notice that the attack was slightly different from before. The chain that shot towards him was surrounded by a soft red glow.

“Pa!”

Yan Que grabbed the chain confidently, but his expression changed drastically when he felt the power the chain contained.

It wasn’t extremely powerful, and he could tell that the person using it was a Martial Intent Realm cultivator at best. However, the power suppressed his extermination qi!

That wasn’t any type of suppression! It was a suppression of bloodlines!

He wasn’t foreign to the feeling. Instead, he deeply feared and hated it.

Even so, his heart trembled slightly. “Who! Who is this?! How can the Tongyou Peak possess a pureblood of the Wind Swallow Race?!”
