BXBX NOVEL Chapter 321: Descent
Chapter 321: Descent
After all, the Tongyou Institution was truly making a huge scene. They widened the tunnel and schemed to obtain the world origin from both the Azure Origin World and Azure Spiritual World.
As time passed and no other treasures emerged from the creation of the Tongyou Mysterious World, people were starting to get suspicious.
The bottom line the other institutions had was that the Tongyou Institution couldn’t upgrade themselves to a holy land. The moment they did, the spatial barrier around the You Continent would be too weak to prevent intrusions from the Azure Spiritual World due to the sheer amount of energy they would drain from the world origin.
When that happened, the battlefield between two worlds that was connected to the Qing, Bing, Liang, and Shu Continents would experience a terrifying change. Since they weren’t prepared, they would probably face extermination.
With the slight hesitation, attacks slammed into the Tongyou Mysterious World. The protection barrier around it trembled violently.
“Everyone, our Tongyou Institution is not trying to ascend to a holy land. We’re trying to close the spatial tunnel as we speak!” Liu Zhiyuan yelled. Due to the slight distraction, he was struck by the Fourth Lady of the Liu Family of the Ji Continent. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Luckily, the Tongyou Institution’s allies from the other four institutions wouldn’t remain impassive. They quickly regained focus to protect the Tongyou Mysterious World.
Throwing out their final warnings, the elders of the various institutions continued to hold back the attackers. However, they were clearly putting in much less effort than before.
Shang Ke couldn’t help but yell in response, “Everyone, please assist us in crossing the last hurdle. If anyone enters the Tongyou Mysterious World, it might agitate the Origin Tide and force it to continue.”
A weird cackle came from their opponents. “Heh, wouldn’t that fulfill your wish and help you to ascend to a holy land?”
“Bullshit!” Shang Ke was forced back by Ye Sishuang, the Harmonious River Master. However, he mustered his strength and roared, “Do you think it’s that easy to ascend to a holy land without a Martial Dipper Realm expert to hold the fort?”
“Heh, so… Ji Wenlong is trying to enter the Martial Dipper Realm for you to accomplish your goals. Am I right?” Another loud roar rang through the skies, but it was rudely interrupted by a loud blast from the southwest. The faces of the Martial Extermination Realm experts who were fighting changed.
They didn’t need to say a word to know what happened. A terrifying streak of jade green light dyed the skies as a huge pillar of light tore into the heavens. It transformed into a giant claw in mid air and seemed to cross space to strike at the Tongyou Mysterious World. The Martial Extermination Realm experts in the way quickly dodged to the side.
“How can there be a Martial Dipper Realm expert there?!”
“Who?!”
Those from the Tongyou Institution weren’t the only ones who were shocked. Those who came to attack the Tongyou Mysterious World were equally surprised. All of them stared at each other in disbelief.
To form various items and actions with the heaven and earth qi was something Martial Extermination Realm experts were capable of. Even some outstanding cultivators could do it when they were in the Martial Intent Realm. However, the claw that appeared seemed to transcend space to strike at the Tongyou Mysterious World. Only Martial Dipper Realm experts were capable of something like that.
Only with their fate dipper could they achieve something like that!
The protection formation around the Tongyou Mysterious World that held strong even after several rounds of bombardment earlier showed signs of cracking when the claw smashed into it.
The shockwave that resulted flattened a third of the Tongyou City!
That was the might of a Martial Dipper Realm expert! That was a true Martial Dipper Realm expert who had the ability to think! They were existences who could destroy an entire continent if they wished!
Even though the Tongyou Mysterious World looked strong, it was no longer the magnificent existence in their eyes a moment ago.
Due to the blow earlier, the Tongyou Mysterious World shrunk and a large amount of world origin was forced out of it. Those scattered world origin either nurtured some worldly treasures or turned into pure heaven and earth qi that filled the lands.
“Haha! What are we waiting for? Since a Martial Dipper Realm expert has arrived, we’ll just follow their lead!”
Riches and honor came with risks. Even though a Martial Dipper Realm expert came, many of them still started to race towards the precious treasures that appeared.
Right as the claw was about to swipe at the Tongyou Mysterious World again, a burst of light emerged from inside. It dyed the space inside the mysterious world with its magnificent hues.
At the same time, Shang Ke and the other experts of the Tongyou Institution seemed to receive a secret transmission at the same time as they retreated into the Tongyou Mysterious World simultaneously.
Those who came to attack the institution backed away in fright. However, there were some greedy ones who hesitated slightly as they contemplated if they should continue vying for the treasures that were scattered all about.
In an instant, a four colored light created a massive blade that sundered the palm of the claw above the Tongyou Mysterious World. It followed up by slashing towards the southwestern direction, sealing off the space the claw traveled through.
“Bang…” With the path of its energy transmission sealed, the claw couldn’t support itself. It started to scatter and the energy sent several Martial Extermination Realm experts flying. Two of them were too close to the blast and they suffered serious injuries.
“Martial Dipper! The Tongyou Institution also has a Martial Dipper Realm ancestor!” A few of those who were flying through the air yelled.
Only Martial Dipper Realm experts could fight against those at the same level.
“Kou Chongxue…”
A name that was more terrifying than any other Martial Dipper Realm expert those present could think of flashed through their minds. However, someone else quickly revealed the truth.
“No, that isn’t Kou Chongxue!”
Kou Chongxue didn’t use a blade.
Earlier, the claw was cut in two by a blade made from heaven and earth qi. There was only one super expert in the Tongyou Institution who used blades.
“Ji Wenlong managed to enter the Martial Dipper Realm?!” Yang Hu yelled in shock.
“Nope, not yet.” The person who was ‘holding’ Yang Hu back was Wei Zhongwen of the White Deer Paradise, and the two of them were putting up quite a good show.
“But… That seemed like an attack from an expert in the Martial Dipper Realm!” Yang Hu gasped. He was clearly regretting his decision to side with the White Deer Paradise.
Things had already exceeded his expectations. The moment the blade appeared earlier, Yang Hu was starting to waver.
Wei Zhongwen allowed a strong attack from Yang Hu to shoot by him before releasing a palm strike to ‘force’ Yang Hu to retreat before sneering, “What’s wrong? City Lord Yang, are you afraid?”
Snorting in response, Yang Hu became a lot more serious when fighting Wei Zhongwen.
A mocking smile crept up Wei Zhongwen’s face and he explained, “He’s able to unleash that attack because of the assistance of the world origin. Hehe, the Martial Dipper Realm expert who attacked is unable to fully cross over to the You Continent. Otherwise…”
A chilly sword light appeared to assist Yang Hu as Mister Bu’s voice rang in their ears, “Heh, from the looks of it, Ji Wenlong doesn’t look exhausted from the exchange. He’s a lot stronger than we expected.”
Wei Zhongwen gave Mister Bu a deep glance before snorting coldly, “I heard that the institution managed to obtain a portion of Zhu Tong’s fate dipper when he was killed. Holding on for a period of time shouldn’t be difficult for Ji Wenong.”
Mister Bu increased the intensity of his attacks while asking, “Elder Wei, do you know who the Martial Dipper Realm expert who just attacked is?”
“I might not know who it is, but I’m sure the attack came from the Bing Continent. It’s definitely related to the Yanmen Institution.”
As if on cue, Yu Hanglong and Chang Huaiwu turned around and charged at the barrier around the Tongyou Mysterious World in unison.
“What are you doing?!” Shang Ke roared. Before he could move out of the Tongyou Mysterious World to intercept them, Ye Sishuang stopped him.
Seeing as they were closing in on the Tongyou Mysterious World, a ray of sword light slashed towards them.
“Hmph, I knew something was wrong with the two of you. Who would have thought that you were part of the Evil Remnants?” Yu Chengjin of the Jianmen Institution appeared suddenly. He blocked Guo Baofeng of the Ji Continent with one hand while stopping the two of them with the other. His frightening strength was revealed at that moment. “So… You Haibiao died in your hands!”
Chang Huaiwu’s expression was ugly as could be. He didn’t think that his identity had already been under scrutiny by the others. Even their meticulous plan was stopped by Yu Chengjin just as they started its execution.
“Heh, dumbass…” Wei Zhongwen had his back towards the Tongyou Mysterious World, but he seemed to have seen through everything. “Anyway, haven’t they all thought of something else? How can there only be Martial Extermination Realm experts in charge of the protection of the mysterious world? Have no one thought of where the Martial Intent and Martial Extremity Realm disciples of the Tongyou Institution went?”
Yang Hu’s expression sank again. “Are they laying down a formation?”
“The Zhu Family used to own the Mysterious Coral World. There should be a massive control center that houses the grand protection formation. It’s a separate space and the lower leveled cultivators should all be gathered there to maintain the formation while the Martial Extermination Realm experts deal with the high-leveled battles outside.
“What do we do now?” Yang Hu asked anxiously.
“So… The key to breaking the entire situation lies in my hands!” Wei Zhongwen turned around abruptly to stare at the Tongyou Mysterious World.
Yang Hu and Mister Bu stopped their attacks and stood behind him silently.
“The Tongyou Institution won’t expect this. The Martial Dipper Realm expert from the Yanmen Institution isn’t the only one who chose to interfere. Hehe. There’s another ready to strike!”
