Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1647: Attack!

"We must stop them!" Facing the invasion of a foreign sixth tier True Immortal, Ge Qingzhu showed no sign of fear. After leaving behind those words, he slowly rose into the air.

Behind him, the phantom of a massive Elysium began to emerge. His aura was boosted to the peak of the second tier immediately as his aura started to shift, temporarily granting him the combat strength of a third tier True Immortal.

However, if it weren't for the fact that most of the energy contained in the Tongyou Elysium was used to nourish the World Origin Source, Ge Qingzhu would be even stronger.

Unfortunately... Even a third tier True Immortal who would receive a boost in strength from the World’s Will was no match for a sixth tier True Immortal.

Hou Xingfeng didn’t even glance at Ge Qingzhu after he soared into the air. Ge Qingzhu’s attacks, where lotuses of origin qi bloomed in the air above, were quickly swallowed by the dark swirling clouds.

Trying to increase the energy contained in his attacks, Ge Qingzhu pushed himself to the limit. Unfortunately, everything was in vain.

That might be the case, but Ge Qingzhu didn’t give up. His efforts might not have hindered Hou Xingfeng in the slightest, but it somewhat hindered the Black Cloud Sail’s encroachment into the You Continent.

Following Ge Qingzhu, Dou Zhong and Zhu Nang also took action. However, they were even weaker than the Elysium True Immortal.

Together, the 3 True Immortals resisted the Black Cloud Sail the best they could. Even though they were still pushed back, Hou Xingfeng was starting to grow impatient.

Outside the swirling black clouds, Ge Qingzhu and the others continued their efforts against the surging clouds, when suddenly Shang Xia's External Avatar’s urgent warning came from behind them, "Be careful, retreat quickly!"

Hearing the warning, Ge Qingzhu and the others raised their guards. They quickly retreated and sent a joint strike to counter the impending danger.

In the next instant, a thunderous boom erupted, and the previously swirling black clouds suddenly exploded. A tall, ordinary-looking woman stepped forward from within, breaking through the void with a simple, direct punch that instantly enveloped Ge Qingzhu.

The seemingly straightforward but immensely fierce punch immediately pressed the domain formed by the 3 to their limit, making it difficult for them to breathe.

At the critical moment, Shang Xia's External Avatar burst forth from behind them, wielding a wrist-thick iron rod that sparkled with a cold light.

The rod was a near-divine weapon but it was one of the masterpieces of the Tongyou Institution’s Artifact Hall. Shang Xia gave it to his External Avatar for the time being.

Leaping out from behind Ge Qingzhu and the rest, Shang Xia’s External Avatar swung his rod to meet the punch.

With that, he unleashed the third move of his Six Harmony Rod Technique, Void Emptiness!

With a muffled explosion followed by the cracking of nearly a thousand miles of space above the You Continent, Ge Qingzhu and the others managed to retreat from the danger zone in a rather sorry state. Thankfully, they were unharmed.

They had no time to feel relieved as they immediately looked up in search of the External Avatar, concerned about the outcome of the confrontation with the high-level female True Immortal who suddenly appeared.

The tall female True Immortal was no stranger to them. Shang Xia mentioned more than once the powerful Gao Qin from the Essence Ming World.

Today, they had the fortune to witness it firsthand. Had it not been for Shang Xia's External Avatar intervening in time, they would have been severely injured by that punch.

In midair, Shang Xia’s External Avatar examined the rod in his hands.

The pseudo-divine artifact had shortened by a fifth. The part that had broken off turned into a lump of metal by Gao Qin’s punch, illustrating the immense power behind her strike.

Yet, what surprised Shang Xia’s External Avatar was despite the damage to the rod, its quality was unaffected.

Staring at the External Avatar, Gao Qin revealed a puzzled expression before asking sternly, "Who are you? You are not Shang Xia!"

"I’m a mere External Avatar.” Shang Xia’s External Avatar chuckled while twirling his iron rod. "It has been a while since we've seen True Immortal Gao. Not only did your techniques become a little more refined, but your cultivation has also reached the level of Returning to the Origin. Congratulations.”

"An External Avatar?!" Gao Qin murmured in amazement. "I didn't expect a clone to possess the strength of a high-level True Immortal. This is amazing indeed.”

"You flatter me, True Immortal Gao. It's just an immature experiment. Moreover, I wasn’t easy to create. I am pretty expensive... It’s hardly cost-effective to make me.” Shang Xia’s External Avatar chuckled.

Gao Qin snorted, "If I can get a high-level True Immortal clone, why would spending some rare resources matter?”

Naturally... They weren’t there to exchange pleasantries. Shang Xia’s External Avatar revealed a smile and continued, “True Immortal Gao, you should understand that even though I’m not comparable to a powerful high-level True Immortal, this is my Tongyou Institutions territory. I can borrow a lot of power here. Even though you’re a fifth tier True Immortal and has the assistance of the Black Cloud Sail, you’re still weakened. Besides... I have several comrades beside me. Wouldn’t it be better for you to run?”

Gao Qin’s expression darkened instantly. “Heh, from the way you’re putting it, what’s the point of cultivation? We can just show off our strength through our numbers. Enough talk! Let’s fight!”

Before her words fell, Gao Qin had already closed in. She had knuckle dusters on both hands as a punch tore through the void.

Shang Xia’s External Avatar had no choice but to retreat swiftly at the sudden assault. He didn’t dare to head to the lower ground and he quickly rose into the skies. He needed to prevent the shockwaves from damaging the You Continent!

At the same time, Ge Qingzhu, Dou Zhong, and Zhu Nang also hurriedly followed, joining Shang Xia’s External Avatar in a combined attack on Gao Qin.
