Chapter 1769: ESCORT MISSION, BEGIN! Pt.4

In the void tens of thousands of miles away from the Essence Luxuriant World’s fleet, a swirl of nebulous starlight lingered.

Even after passing the Origin Star Robe to Kou Chongxue, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar didn’t dissipate completely. He maintained the combat strength of a first star Sage, but he had weakened from the peak of the first star to an ordinary Martial Emptiness Realm clone.

Even so, Shang Xia didn’t break the agreement with the other Sages. His Origin Star Avatar didn’t interfere in the battle and merely lent his treasures to others.

In the past, before Shang Xia became a second star Sage, he could only maintain his Origin Star Avatar with the Origin Star Robe. However, with his advancement, he could easily create another clone. He simply passed the Origin Star Robe to one of them to gain greater combat strength.

If Shang Xia could come up with methods like that, the experts from other Heavenly Fields could easily do the same. Regardless of the years they had spent cultivating or the heritage of their respective factions... They were far beyond what Shang Xia and the Tongyou Institution could compare to.

For instance... As the remaining 3 Star Ships of the Spirit Mammoth World abandoned the last, Kou Chongxue and the others chose to stop as many as they could. They wanted to take out as much of the Spirit Mammoth World’s fleet as they could, weakening their ability to partake in any subsequent battles.

However, just as they were about to catch up, Kou Chongxue saw the fifth tier True Immortal who had just clashed with him standing on board one of the ships. He held a crystalline orb the size of a child's head in both palms.

The orb seemed extremely heavy, so heavy that even the fifth tier True Immortal could only hold it at his lower abdomen with both hands. With his face turning red, he threw it forward with all his might. As soon as the orb flew off the Star Ship, it started to swell, turning into a giant sphere 300 feet wide. It started to accelerate as it rolled about, eventually barreling towards Kou Chognxue and the others.

Even though the orb was rolling around in the void, it seemed to be able to compress the void around it. Loud rumbles rang in the ears of those present and the momentum it gathered made it seem impossible to stop.

The moment the Thousand Mammoth Pearl was released, Kou Chongxue’s External Avatar felt his skull going numb. He knew that there was no way to dodge it.

Warning the other ships, Kou Chongxue's External Avatar immediately called for them to disperse before activating a scroll-like talisman.

A dense and thick cloud of radiant light surged in front of Kou Chongxue, forming a massive cloud fortress that shielded him and his ship.

The thick cloud was torn apart by a circular tunnel the next moment. The depth the tunnel dug into the cloud was unknown, but a loud blast that sounded like giant trees falling in a forest and shattering rang in the ears of those present. The cloud fortress trembled unsteadily, but ultimately, aside from becoming exceedingly thin, it didn’t completely dissipate.

Seizing the opportunity, the Spirit Mammoth World’s ships managed to move far away. The Thousand Mammoth Pearl that broke a hole in the defenses of the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman shrank and returned without any mishaps.

At the same time, the cloud fortress, which had thinned significantly, finally collapsed and rapidly dissipated in the void. Kou Chongxue's External Avatar’s figure appeared within it, and the bow of his ship had suffered some damage. It caved inward neatly in an arc.

Fortunately, the damage didn’t damage the ship’s foundations. It merely appeared slightly more miserable than Xiao Yugang’s ship.

By then, the Essence Luxuriant World’s fleet had lost the opportunity to intercept the other ships. Kou Chongxue and the rest decisively turned around to deal with the ship they had trapped previously.

However, just as the ships completed their turn, a tremendously powerful qi emerged from the trapped Spirit Mammoth World’s ship. It tore through the encirclement and freed itself.

The burst only lasted a moment. Even though the ship was able to free itself for the time being, it was clear it wouldn’t be enough. Instead, it seemed to only be good for buying enough time for the high-level experts on board to escape.

Having allowed 3 other Star Ships to escape, which already made their carefully laid out trap useless, how could they possibly allow more opponents to flee?

The instant 2 True Immortals emerged from the ship, 7 third tier True Immortals from the Essence Luxuriant World’s strike fleet emerged. Gao Qin and Gu Mingzheng also reacted in time as they were hell bent on destroying everyone on the ship.

The True Immortals of the Spirit Mammoth World knew that there was no escape under such circumstances and they didn’t hesitate to abandon those on board to flee. The high-level True Immortal among them activated a treasure that looked like a book and as the pages flipped with a loud rustle, the powerful burst of qi that allowed them to escape reemerged. Anyone who wasn’t a high-level True Immortal had their souls suppressed, and the third tier True Immortals had to stabilize their rolling qi.

Gao Qin, Gi Mingzhen, and Kou Chongxue’s External Avatar, who had been boosted to a fifth tier True Immortal with the Origin Star Robe, resisted the burst of qi. Even though their strength was somewhat affected, they rushed to stop the 2.

Gao Qin struck first, unleashing a mighty punch that crushed the void before her. However, compared to her peak strength, her punch was weakened by at least 30 percent.

Still, 70 percent of the strength of a fifth tier True Immortal like Gao Qin wasn’t to be underestimated.

The fourth tier True Immortal from the Spirit Mammoth World flipped another page which transformed into a long sword in the void. Reaching out to grab it, he slashed in the direction of Gao Qin’s punch.

Clang... Buzz...

The long sword was shattered as it transformed back into pieces of broken paper that fluttered in the void.

Gao Qin pulled back her fist, but a trace of blood was visible on her knuckles.

At the very next second, several sharp snaps were heard above the head of the fourth tier True Immortal.

Pfft...

With a splutter and a fountain of blood spraying out of his mouth, the fourth tier True Immortal’s eyes dimmed.
