Chapter 886: The Sudden Change, World Origin Please!

The strengthening of the heavenly screen, and the hastened recovery rate of the experts of the Azure Ascension World directly displayed the excitement the world was feeling towards its ascension.

Dugu Yuanshan, who held the absolute advantage above the Jiao Continent, not only failed to take care of Liu Jingsheng, an expert who entered the Martial Void Realm not too long ago, but he even allowed the Holy Artifact to return to their world. In the eyes of the other Martial Void Realm experts of the Spirit Abundance World, his incompetence was unacceptable.

“What are you so worked up about?! I have everything under control! We need to wait for them to digest their gains from the other world before swallowing them up completely!” Dugu Yuanshan sounded extremely confident in himself.

There was also another reason why Dugu Yuanshan hadn’t focused fully on defeating Liu Jingsheng. He discovered the Starry Tree that was growing in the Star Observatory a long time ago!

Understanding what the Starry Tree meant to cultivators, Dugu Yuanshan was far more concerned about obtaining it than defeating Liu Jingsheng hastily. He also wished to conceal the presence of the tree from his fellow comrades.

To someone like Dugu Yuanshan, even if the operation to take over the Azure Ascension World failed, he had to obtain the tree no matter what!

That was because the Starry Tree directly concerned the inheritance of his Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake! No matter the cost, he had to get his hands on the tree! Only with the Starry Tree would he be able to solidify the Solitary Lake Heavenly Peak’s place among the nine great powers of the Spirit Abundance World!

It was a shame the Starry Tree had taken root in the Star Observatory. Liu Jingsheng had been protecting it with his life earlier, and the Star Observatory was the key to Kou Chongxue and the others’ return to the Azure Ascension World. When the Holy Artifact appeared earlier, Dugu Yuanshan also had a feeling it would allow the Azure Ascension World to ascend to a Spirit World. It coincided with his plans of allowing them to do so in order to get their hands on a newly born Spirit World, and that was why he didn’t throw everything he had to stop them.

With the successful return of the cauldron, Dugu Yuanshan felt that the goal of the Star Observatory had been achieved. If he pushed the Martial Void Realm expert on the other side a little further, he would be able to grab the tree without anyone knowing.

Who would have thought that Liu Jingsheng would continue to protect the Star Observatory even after the cauldron returned? He thought that Kou Chongxue and the others split into 2 batches in order to come back. He felt that the Stellar Cauldron was sent back by Kou Chongxue first, and they would still need the Star Observatory to facilitate the return of their experts. That was why he chose not to give up protecting the Star Observatory.

Dugu Yuanshan’s anger hit its peak. However, he didn’t dare to go all out for fear of affecting the Starry Tree that wasn’t too far away. Even though he was getting scolded, he didn’t dare to say a word.

Even he didn’t expect that the world ascension would happen so quickly! Having everything under control was merely an excuse he threw out.

What did such a rapid world ascension mean?! That would mean that the Holy Artifact that appeared earlier contained abundant world origin! There was so much world origin that it immediately drove the transformation of the sea of world origin in the Azure Ascension World!

“Enough! This old man only wants the spirit tree on the Star Observatory. As long as you give it to me, I’ll weaken my attacks and let you off!” Dugu Yuanshan hesitated for a moment before sending a voice transmission to Liu Jingsheng. He chose to try making a deal with the experts of the Azure Ascension World.

“Do you plan to get your hands on the Starry Tree?! We’re at odds right now and your Spirit Abundance World is so much stronger than us. How am I supposed to believe that you’ll let us off?” Liu Jingsheng didn’t reject the request immediately. Instead, he started to play along in order to get a chance to catch his breath.

There was no way he would agree to give away the Starry Tree in the Star Observatory in the first place. However, no one forbade him from using it as an excuse to catch a break.

The moment Dugu Yuanshan heard Liu Jingsheng speak the name of the tree, he knew that the other party understood how valuable the treasure was.

Since they knew about the Starry Tree, they definitely knew the benefits it could bring!

However, what made him curious was the fact that a Starry Tree existed in the Azure Ascension World. A treasure like that was already extinct in the Spirit Abundance World! How could a mere Azure World birth a treasure like that? Not to mention the fact that the Starry Tree had already reached the fifth rank!

“Hmph, do you really think that you were able to stop me for so long with the abilities you have?! I was giving you a chance because of that tree!” Dugu Yuanshan felt that the other party was acting a little impudently from his reply. After all, they were all Martial Void Realm experts. Liu Jingsheng should have been able to see that he was holding back the whole time!

A soft chuckle left Liu Jingsheng’s lips. “Yeah? If that’s the case, all the more I can’t give you that tree. You were only holding back because you were afraid to destroy it!”

Understanding that the other party wouldn’t back off easily, a snort left his lips. “Do you really think that nothing can stop your world now that it has started to ascend?!”

As soon as the words left his lips, gloomy light appeared like a tide around him. It pierced through the heavenly screen and went straight into the world below.

The moment it arrived, it was quickly suppressed by the World’s Will.

However, the World Origin Source seemed to have been disturbed by Dugu Yuanshan’s actions. Splitting off a portion of its strength to suppress whatever Dugu Yuanshan was doing, the World’s Will was unable to fully focus on the ascension process. The next instant, the transformation of the world slowed down and showed signs of stopping.

Liu Jingsheng tried to stop him, but before he could try anything, a gloomy light rushed at him in an unstoppable tide to force him back.

When a Martial Void Realm expert like Dugu Yuanshan went all out, he was actually able to stall the ascension of a world!

“Hmph, you might have stepped into the Martial Void Realm, but you don’t know anything about the true abilities of experts at our level!” Dugu Yuanshan mocked. However, his gaze landed on the Beyond Heavens Pavilion above the northern region of the Azure Ascension World. Liu Jingsheng might not know much about being at the Martial Void Realm, but the same couldn’t be said for Zhang Xuansheng.

“Hmph, looks like you won’t be convinced unless the grim reality hits you in the face!” Dugu Yuanshan snorted again. He seemed to have excess energy as the rays of light he sent into the Azure Ascension World seemed to transform into a massive hand that reached for the Stellar Cauldron despite being suppressed by the World’s Will.

All he could do was to stall the ascension process with his strength, but if he snatched the Stellar Cauldron, there would no longer be a need to stall. The world wouldn’t be able to ascend!

As the hand reached for the Stellar Cauldron, it was greatly weakened by the World’s Will. However, the power it contained wasn’t something any ordinary Martial Dipper Realm expert could resist!

Seeing as the arm formed with gloomy light had arrived above the lava lake, the calm surface started to bubble once again!

As lava bubbled rapidly, Kou Chongxue emerged from the cauldron with his Hidden Frost Sword in hand. A terrifying wave of sword qi sundered the giant hand in the sky and shattered a good portion of light Dugu Yuanshan sent into the world.

“Huh?! Who are you?!” Dugu Yuanshan was shocked by the sudden change, but clearly, he wasn’t panicking.
