<h4>Chapter 599: Mutual Destruction</h4>
Was this a fucking joke?!
Originally, they were supposed to fight one on one. Shang Xia could ept it if the other side was a sore loser and called a few of their friends over. Who the fuck calls over their entire faction because of a little conflict?! It didn’t just stop there. As if calling for backup wasn’t enough, they had to move their entire base of operation over.
They were clearly cheating!
No matter how strong the thumping of the Crimson Soul Tablet was in his sea of consciousness, Shang Xia couldn’t be bothered with it at the moment. He was only concerned about making his escape. If he was even slightly slower, he was probably going to die without aplete corpse.
Chen Yuanzi didn''t expect Shang Xia to react so decisively. He also didn’t think that Shang Xia would be able to move so quickly. He couldn’t act to stop the other party and Shang Xia almost disappeared from his range of sight the next moment.
“Shit! The damn brat hid his strength!” With Chen Yuanzi’s experience, how could he not see that Shang Xia’s escape art was extremely special? He could also tell that Shang Xia’s extermination origins possessed extraordinary power.
That was precisely the reason why his expression became really ugly. He also heaved a sigh of relief that the Northern Sea Ind appeared as quickly as it did. Otherwise, he might have been yed by the other party after underestimating his strength. If that were to happen, he would embarrass himself greatly. It would be like an 80 year old grandmother being outyed by a little child.
Of course, if it was that easy for someone to escape the Northern Sea Ind, they wouldn’t be ranked the top power in the Azure Spiritual World.
As Shang Xia was making his escape, he unintentionally nced at the chaotic battle that was happening. He discovered that those experts who were fighting earlier started to scatter the moment the Northern Sea Ind appeared.
Even though those cultivators weren’t exactly the Martial Dipper Realm candidates of their respective powers, they were second only to experts who had entered the grandpletion stage of the Martial Extermination Realm.
Not only did they possess extraordinarybat strength, but they also had a heightened awareness. The moment they realized something was wrong, they started to flee in all directions. That would ensure that they wouldn’t be captured in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, they were up against the Northern Sea Mystic Sect. A massive vortex appeared above the ind once again and a terrifying suction force twisted the space around them. Even Shang Xia, who had run close to 1000 miles out, discovered that he was being pulled back by the suction force.
“Not good!” Shang Xia’s heart sank. He pushed his extermination origins to their limit but he discovered that he wasn’t advancing. He still felt that he was being pulled back towards the Northern Sea Ind.
There might not be any reference point where they were to verify his guess, but the feeling was strong enough.
“Northern Sea Mystic Sect, what the hell do you think you’re doing?! Do you really think my Triple Frost Pce will let you off… Ah!”
Many figures tried to struggle free, but they were being pulled towards the ind no matter how hard they tried. They screamed and cursed, but before they could finish their threats, they lost control of their body and were dragged into the vortex.
Shang Xia sealed off the space around him with his Four Constetion Palm in order to resist the suction force of the vortex. However, he couldn’t even heave a sigh of relief when he discovered the entire region of sealed space was starting to move in the direction of the Northern Sea Ind.
The second that happened, Shang Xia realized that he messed up. He had trapped himself!
He quickly raised his Abyssal de to shatter the seal around himself and after escaping, he sent a sh behind himself. The terrifying de light started to freeze the space behind him to create a formless spatial barrier that prevented him from being sucked away.
The move he unleashed was Winter Origin, a move in his Winter de series.
With the suction force temporarily resisted, Shang Xia hastily ran in the opposite direction.
When he turned his head to take a look at the Northern Sea Ind behind him, he saw several figures covered in extermination light spinning around in the vortex above the Northern Sea Ind.
<i>The Northern Sea Mystic Sect is crazy!</i>
Shang Xia thought to himself.
The battle for Origin Dippers and fate dipper essences involved tons of experts from various powers whose strength were second only to Martial Dipper Realm candidates. In the future, they will probably reach that level.
Now, the Northern Sea Ind nned to capture them all at once. Could they be ready to take on the wrath of all those factions themselves?
The thought barely shed through Shang Xia’s mind when a sharp whistle came from the other direction.
Before he could turn to look, a loud thump and he managed to detect space crumbling everywhere around him.
<i>Oh no!</i>
Raising his head to observe what was happening, Shang Xia saw a silver light entering the void he froze. When it reappeared, itnded beside Chen Yuanzi who was staring at him with a look of mockery.
The massive suction force appeared once again, and it started to twist the space around him. Shang Xia started to move in the direction of the Northern Sea Ind.
Instead of panicking, Shang Xia felt strangely calm. The distance between him and Chen Yuanzi was drawing closer and closer and Shang Xia’s gaze was stuck to the silver shuttle that Chen Yuanzi was ying with.
.
Shang Xia growled, “Is the Northern Sea Mystic Sect nning to wage war against the various powers of both worlds?”
Remaining in his spot, Chen Yuanzi was waiting for Shang Xia to be pulled over. At the same time, he was enjoying the feeling of his opponent being dragged over to himself, powerless. He didn’t even forget to exin to Shang Xia in the meantime, “We’re just inviting them over to our ind as guests. As long as they can prove they don’t have any Origin Dippers or fate dipper essences on them, or if they hand them over to pay their toll, we’ll definitely let them go. We might even give them rich rewards for their troubles.”
A sneer left Shang Xia’s lips. “What type of rewards can be worth a chance to enter the Martial Extermination Realm?”
“Treasures always belonged to the strong.” Chen Yuanzi smiled.
Hearing his reply, a wide smile appeared on Shang Xia’s face.
Chen Yuanzi didn’t seem concerned at Shang Xia’s reaction and he continued tough, “It’s a shame you won’t get such great treatment. Not only do I wish to obtain the fate dipper essence you have, but you’re going to pay for your sins for dying our journey to arrive at the source of the World’s Will. Even the power behind you won’t be able to get away. My Northern Sea Mystic Sect will definitely target them when we’re done here. However…” He took a step forward after remaining motionless for so long. “... Before all of that, this old man is really curious. I wonder what you actually look like.”
When the words left his lips, Chen Yuanzi reached out for Shang Xia’s face.
“I got it!” Shang Xia yelled suddenly. The look of excitement on his face didn’t reflect the situation he was in.
Chen Yuanzi was slightly taken aback by Shang Xia’sck of fear. His movements slowed for a second but he eventually released a bout ofughter, “There’s no use for these little tricks. You’re wasting your time.”
“I believe the Eternal Sect and the Divine Capital Sect have already arrived, right?” Shang Xia really surprised Chen Yuanzi with his sudden question.
Taking the chance, he followed up, “If the 3 of you didn’te to an agreement, you guys wouldn’t dare to offend the other powers and try to restrain so many Martial Extermination Realm experts.”
Snorting coldly, Chen Yuanzi responded, “So what if they have? This old man will let you in on the secret. Because of my suggestion, all 3 super inds came to an agreement. My Northern Sea Ind just moved a little earlier than them. Like we always say, you snooze, you lose. They can’t me us for acting a little faster.”
“What a nice n!” Shang Xia pped and continued, “Since you did this, your sect will definitely receive more Origin Dippers and fate dipper essence than the rest. You can even use them to share the pressure of the rest of the factions. What a great move. I truly admire you guys for that…”
Seeing as Shang Xia was about to arrive in front of him, Chen Yuanzi mocked, “Don’t bother trying to drag things out. I know that you’re still hiding your strength. You might be able to withstand one of my strikes and drag me down to hell with you. It’s a pity…” n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
The look on Shang Xia’s face stiffened, but he quickly revealed another smile. “Have you thought about something? Even if the Divine Capital Sect and Eternal Sect arrive a littleter, as long as all of us haven’t entered your ind, they’ll still possess the qualifications to try to drag us over.”
“Huh?” Realizing something was amiss, Chen Yuanzi didn’t bother trying to look at Shang Xia’s true appearance. Instead, he reached out and sent a full-powered strike at Shang Xia’s face.
Roaring withughter, Shang Xia’s body which was stuck due to the suction force earlier moved. He pushed his arm outwards and met Chen Yuanzi’s palm with one of his own.
Chen Yuanzi’s expression changed. He retreated several steps back and the space beneath his feet shattered with every step he took.
Shang Xia, who found it difficult to get rid of the suction force earlier, managed to use the impact from their attacks to resist it for the time being.
At the same time, he sent a sh in the direction of the vortex above the Northern Sea Ind. Even though it couldn’t stop the force from sucking him towards it, he could weaken it slightly.
Realizing that he managed to obtain a small window to escape, he pushed his extermination origins to the limit as he ran in the other direction.
“Dream on!” Chen Yuanzi screamed as he tossed the silver shuttle in his hand in an attempt to send Shang Xia to hell.
Without even thinking, Shang Xia sent a sh over at the space beside him.
A sneer appeared on Chen Yuanzi’s lips. His silver shuttle had the ability to fuse with the void. How could it be so easy for someone to hit it?
Unfortunately, the loud ng that rang in his ears the next second proved him wrong. The silver shuttle was forced out from the void and Chen Yuanzi felt his face heating up. Shang Xia’s blow on his silver shuttle was like a sharp p to his face.
With rage boiling in his heart, he couldn’t even bother with how Shang Xia managed to strike his silver shuttle. He formed many seals with his hand and tried to lock Shang Xia down with his extermination origins.
“Martial intent!” Shang Xia’s expression changed when he realized what Chen Yuanzi was trying to do. He couldn’t be bothered with the suction force for the time being as he gripped his Abyssal de with both hands and pulled upwards.
No huge disturbance happened, and there was no heaven-shattering explosion. However, their exchange waspleted in the next instant.
With several gurgling sounds, Shang Xia spat out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying powerlessly through the air and he was quickly sucked over to the Northern Sea Ind.
On the other side, Chen Yuanzi remained motionless. His hands were still stuck in the position of thest seal he made, but a thin line quickly appeared on his palm. They started to extend through his fingers, and eventually, the flesh around his wound started to break down. It was as though everything around it aged by dozens of years as his arm quickly withered. They resembled wilted tree branches.
