Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 596: A Blade to Enter Summer

Chapter 596: A Blade to Enter Summer

Shang Xia felt that he would be able to seize the initiative to obtain the objects contained inside the Great Sun because he was able to accurately predict when it would be extinguished.

However, reality proved that he wasn’t the only one who managed to do so. Other factions also realized what was happening and sent their experts over.

Luckily for him, his luck wasn’t too bad. At the very least, he already obtained a strand of fate dipper essence before the real battle for the Origin Dipper would break out.

After absorbing the illusory ray of light into his fate dipper fragment, Shang Xia was sure that it was a strand of fate dipper essence! Due to the fact that the fate dipper fragment in his hand was of the highest quality, it would be a matter of time before the fragment in his hand turned into a complete Origin Dipper.

The only question was how long it would take for the strand of fate dipper essence to be nurtured inside the fragment.

Also, he didn’t know which Origin Dipper would be produced after the process was complete.

The other question, and the most important was if he could use it when he advanced into the Martial Dipper Realm in the future.

Well, it wasn’t time to think about stuff like that at the moment. The longer Shang Xia wasted, the lower the chance of him obtaining other strains of fate dipper essence.

After keeping his fate dipper fragment that absorbed the strand of fate dipper essence, he didn’t hesitate and started to approach the location of the huge battle.

By the time he started to head over, the intensity of the battle had reached a whole new level. In fact, it was slowly turning into a chaotic brawl among many parties.

Shang Xia wasn’t surprised at all. Factions that had the ability to send their experts over were definitely powerhouses of their respective worlds. Those experts who were present might even be potential Martial Dipper Realm candidates in the future!

It didn’t matter if they were fighting over Origin Dippers or fate dipper essence. Either way, it concerned a chance to enter the Martial Dipper Realm. Regardless of which it was, those Martial Extermination Realm experts would risk their lives to get their hands on it. Not to mention the fact there wasn’t just a single strand that emerged from the destroyed Great Sun earlier. There were a dozen or so strands!

Shang Xia might have increased his speed to take part in the battle, but he was no fool. He restrained his aura to the best of his abilities as he made his way over and he used his Auspicious Cloud Cape to cover his tracks.

After flying hundreds of miles, he noticed a treasure that was an odd-sized jade flying not too far away from him.

The void around the jade broke open suddenly as a silvery-white beam of light accurately struck it. The ray of light locked the jade in place.

The next moment, an eight faced sword tore through space and shattered the silvery-white light that had trapped the jade.

Despite having broken free from its entrapment, the jade no longer moved as quickly as it once was. It drifted slowly in space.

The eight faced sword flicked once, sending the jade flying to the spot where the sword tore through space.

“Hmph, dream on!” A cold snort came from nowhere and the spot where the silvery-white light broke through space and a yellow light out out from within.

The eight faced sword released a strand of sword qi that smashed into the yellow beam.

Unfortunately, the odd-shaped jade couldn’t withstand the shockwave of the clash and exploded into multiple shards and flew in all directions.

The experts wielding the sword and the one who summoned the yellow light beam clearly didn’t expect that to happen. They hastily sent their energy in all directions in an attempt to gather the shards.

Neither of them expected a giant palm made from a formless mass to stretch over at that instant to destroy the sword qi and yellow beam. It made a nice arc through the air and grabbed almost every shard out there. It also retracted quickly before they could react.

“Preposterous!”

“Who dares…?!”

2 angry voices rang through the area before 2 tyrannical divine perceptions swept over. Unfortunately, the person who stole the shards was nowhere to be seen.

Tens of miles away, Shang Xia stopped moving. Several shards hovered beside him and he managed to piece back close to 70 percent of the jade object that was destroyed.

Casually squeezing one of them, Shang Xia noticed that it was somewhat similar to the shards of fate dipper fragments he obtained in the past.

Seeing the shards caused Shang Xia to recall the clump of black shadow that was circular in shape back before the Great Sun was destroyed. Those illusory rays of light emerged after its collapse, and Shang Xia wondered out loud, “Could these strange jade fragments be left behind after the Great Sun was destroyed?”

Shang Xia thought deeper into it and realized that it was possible. After all, fate dipper essences and Origin Dippers were high-level treasures that might have been nurtured by it.

Of course, it also wouldn’t be correct to think that the Great Sun was made up of those jade-like treasures. It could only be said that they were the debris left behind after the Great Sun was sucked dry.

Regardless, the ‘debris’ left behind seemed too similar to the fate dipper fragments Shang Xia obtained back then. Those strange jade-like objects also possessed a similar property to the fate dipper fragments. In other words, they had the ability to contain fate dipper essence!

Storing some fate dipper essence in them wouldn’t be a problem and Shang Xia wondered if those 2 were fighting for it so that they could use it as a vessel to contain fate dipper essence.

Too bad for them, Shang Xia was the fisherman who obtained all the benefits in the end. A large portion of that jade was obtained by him.

Choosing one of the largest pieces, Shang Xia discovered that it was a little denser than the fate dipper fragment he obtained back then.

Oh right… If they’re trying to get this to store a fate dipper essence, that might mean that they might actually have a strand!

The thought flashed in Shang Xia’s mind and the extermination light around him lit up again as he rushed towards the chaotic brawl happening in the distance.

This time, he didn’t bother concealing his tracks.

In a battle of such a scale, where there were shockwaves flying everywhere, there was no way someone could remain hidden.

Even if everything went their way and they managed to avoid all the shockwaves that would force them out of hiding, the moment they were discovered, they would immediately be surrounded and attacked on all sides due to how sneaky they were acting.

Under such circumstances, Shang Xia decided that he would rather join the battle openly.

Running head-first into the battle was one thing. Shang Xia still had another cheat code that allowed him to feel the presence of any Origin Dippers or fate dipper essence in the vicinity. That was because the Crimson Soul Tablet in his sea of consciousness was making itself useful again. It pointed out the direction of those treasures and Shang Xia didn’t have to run around blind.

Avoiding a horizontal spatial tear coming his way, Shang Xia reached out to the side. He sent out a Four Constellation Palm as the power contained within transformed to that of the frost element. A freezing ice extermination appeared and it seemed to contain 4 times the power as it extinguished a burning cloud traveling hsi way. It also frightened the cultivator hidden in the cloud so badly that he had to escape.

Glancing at the cultivator who wanted to sneak attack him, Shang Xia discovered that the Crimson Soul Tablet wasn’t reacting at all. Realizing that there was no Origin Dipper or fate dipper essence on him, he no longer bothered with the man.

Next, Shang Xia held the Abyssal Blade in his hand as he went to intercept 2 experts. His Four Seasons Extermination Origins infused themselves into the blade and he tore through the void with a single blade. He slashed at one of them who had a golden mask and a gray beard. His target was wielding an eight faced sword that looked really familiar.

“It’s you!” The golden masked cultivator recognized Shang Xia the moment he arrived. He knew that it was the person who snatched the origin jade from him.

Facing the slash coming his way, his expression changed drastically. The words that made their way to his mouth earlier couldn’t emerge as he raised his eight faced sword in a state of panic. Swinging it 7 times in succession, he summoned multiple rays of sword qi.

Clang, clang, clang…

7 loud scraping sounds rang through the air along with various explosions. His sword qis were shattered when Shang Xia’s Abyssal Blade came crashing down and it landed directly on his sword.

Ding!

Losing his footing in mid air, the golden masked cultivator was forced to retreat. After taking 7 steps back, he forced himself to stop moving. Moreover, he was forced to use his other hand to grip his eight faced sword to stop its violent trembling. It was only then that he managed to prevent his sword from flying off his grip.

Facing Shang Xia who was closing in rapidly, the golden masked cultivator wanted to say something. Unfortunately, blood sprayed from his lips the moment he opened his mouth to speak.

Unfortunately, Shang Xia already released Summer Origin. It was the move that was the beginning of the 6 moves of Shang Xia’s Summer Blade, but it also signified the end.

With a single blade to signify the entry of Summer, Shang Xia unleashed his tyrannical blade art and heavily injured an expert at the large completion stage of the Martial Extermination Realm in a single move.
