Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1687: Coming Up With A Plan

Shang Xia's gaze was intense as he seemed to see the smug look of the foreign Sage’s clone above the Spirit Thistle World’s heavenly screen.

The moment he actually entered the space around the Spirit Thistle World, Shang Xia had sensed a potential danger. If the Spirit Thistle World collapsed because of him, a great responsibility would fall upon him.

Shang Xia’s current state where he looked like he was already free of the shackles of the Spirit Luxuriant World was a mere front. It was something similar to buying on credit.

The Spirit Luxuriant World that had yet to complete its ascension was still part of the Heaven Observation Field!

Shang Xia might be able to transcend the shackles of the Spirit Luxuriant World, but he was still contained in the Heaven Observation Field. The Spirit Thistle World was also a part of the Heavenly Field.

The Sage who supported them was from outside the Star Curtain, and he had nothing to lose even if he caused the destruction of a world in the Heaven Observation Field. As for losing a clone... It wasn’t even worth mentioning.

If Shang Xia became one of the culprits who caused the destruction of the Spirit Thistle World... His path of cultivation that would free him from the connection to the Spirit Luxuriant World and the Heaven Observation Field might very well be severed!

The Sage behind the Spirit Thistle World seemed to sense Shang Xia’s hesitation and his clone immediately sneered, “The Spirit Thistle World has already paid the price for their actions. Of the 3 high-level True Immortals, 2 have died, and the last is seriously injured. Sage Shang, is there a need to push them so far?”

It had been just over a month since Shang Xia completed his advancement. However, news of his ascension had already reached those outside the Star Curtain.

Shang Xia’s gaze was deep, his face revealing nothing of his thoughts.

The clone above the Spirit Thistle World’s heavenly screen didn’t force Shang Xia to make a choice immediately. Instead, he patiently waited for his final decision.

Taking a deep breath, Shang Xia looked in the direction of the Spirit Thistle World once before turning to leave.

Above the Spirit Thistle World’s heavenly screen, the Sage’s clone heaved a sigh of relief.

Although what he had just said was true, if the Spirit Thistle World were truly shattered by both parties, he would also lose his foothold for entering the Heaven Observation Field and lose his opportunity to search for the inheritance left by the Star Origin Lord and the Heaven Observation Sect.

The newly ascended Sage of the Spirit Luxuriant World withdrawing without a fight was the best outcome he could hope for.

Before the clone could react, Shang Xia, who had just arrived at the buffer zone between the calm space around the Spirit Thistle World and the chaotic streams, stopped. He turned around and tapped into the void.

A speck of starlight emerged, shattering the void. In the next instant, it appeared at the other side of the calm space around the Spirit Thistle World.

The speck of starlight tore through millions of miles, and it didn’t seem affected as it passed through a seemingly hidden gap in the Star Curtain.

"Ah, fuck! You’ve gone too far! I won’t let you off!”

Faintly, both Shang Xia and the True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World seemed to hear an indistinct roar of anger.

The Sage’s clone above the heavenly screen of the Spirit Thistle World was stunned for a good second before he finally reacted.

"Shang Xia!" The angry roar tore through the void and the heavenly screen beneath his feet seemed like a piece of tattered cloth. It came worrying close to being torn apart.

Ignoring him, Shang Xia stepped into the chaotic streams and left.

Behind him, the chaotic streams surged and the enraged clone was making an all-out effort to launch an attack on the departing Shang Xia.

Unfortunately... Even when he worked with another Sage that backed the Spirit Tinkle World, they failed to do shit to Shang Xia. Even if he went all out now, it was even less likely for him to be able to accomplish anything.

Seeing that the clone didn’t dare to chase him into the chaotic streams, Shang Xia sneered. To him, the other side was merely shouting and screaming to express his anger like a fool.

"Well... It’s at least easy to tell that the Sage backing the Spirit Thistle World isn’t too strong. He might be at the second star of the Martial Emptiness Realm at best.”

"If he was any stronger... His true body wouldn’t have been injured when caught off guard when I attacked him through the Star Curtain. Heh.” Thinking about it, Shang Xia couldn’t help but mock.

The speck of starlight he released earlier might not have stabbed directly into the eyes of the Sage, but it definitely left him with a scar.

Since Shang Xia stepped into the Seven Star Realm, his inner qi completed its transformation and it possessed certain properties that were unique to Sages. It wouldn’t be easy for the foreign Sage to erase the scar he left.

It was just that... His earlier move, where he released the speck of starligh,t came from a sudden spark of inspiration. He wondered if he would be able to make use of it to come up with a set of rank seven secret art...

Hmm... It might not be impossible!
