Chapter 1128: Squeezing Out Every Last Drop!

What was more, when facing a True Immortal who could disrupt the void with a single thought, there was no way Martial Dipper Realm experts could run.

Looking at the Star Ship that was riddled with holes, Shang Xia didn’t think that anything would be left behind.

Hmm… Well, other than corpses that is.

After all, the Tongyou Institution rose not too long ago, and Shang Xia had been a part of the time when they were still mere weaklings. He was used to looting corpses and it was a habit ingrained in him. Even though he was a third tier True Immortal and most random treasures couldn’t impress him any longer, he still did it.

When he was done, he got rid of the corpses completely. Even though the Star Ship was disguised to prevent its true identity from being revealed, there was no doubt it was a Star Ship used by the Star Origin City. Neither Kou Chongxue nor Shang Xia wanted to take the risk of leaving clues for the enemy, especially when it was just a mere Star Ship.

After gathering the belongings of 30 or so cultivators on board, Shang Xia discovered that a secret cabin still remained intact despite being hit by Kou Chongxue’s sword qi. He was immediately intrigued by it.

With the ability of his inner qi, the last thing he was afraid of was formations and restrictions of the like.

The secret cabin was quickly broken into and other than several ordinary treasures he didn’t quite care about, he discovered a stack of sealed spiritual chests measuring several 2 feet wide that were piled on each other.

He ignored the artifacts that might have been used to lay down the secret formation to allow the mysterious cultivator to break through to the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm, and he went straight for the stack of sealed spiritual chests. He pressed his palm on one of them and quickly broke the seal. Opening the lid, he saw rows upon rows of essence crystals emitting bright spiritual light before him.

“This batch of low-grade essence crystals are extremely uniform, and even though there are a lot of them, they are of pretty rough quality… What are they planning to do with them?” Shang Xia couldn’t understand what was going on, but he tossed them all into his Spatial Pouch. He didn’t leave anything behind when he left.

When Shang Xia found Kou Chongxue again, they were already in the central region of the Ruined World. Kou Chongxue was completely focused on a strange formation platform that boasted an extraordinary look.

There were several corpses around it, and there were also 2 unconscious unknown members.

“Did you find much?” Kou Chongxue asked without turning his head.

Shooting Kou Chongxue a curious stare, Shang Xia asked, “Do you know what’s going on?”

Pointing his chin at the formation platform, he mumbled, “Take a look. It’s coming…”

Actually, Kou Chongxue didn’t need to remind Shang Xia. He could feel traces of heaven and earth qi gathering from all directions.

The heaven and earth qi was extremely faint, and it was so weak that Shang Xia’s divine soul nearly failed to detect it. By the time he felt the world origin around him, hundreds, if not thousands of strands of the faint heaven and earth qi had already gathered.

Shang Xia wondered how there could be traces of world origin in the Ruined World…

When he was still surprised, he noticed a faint glow emerging from the platform as more and more world origin gathered.

Only then did he notice small notches arranged in a circular shape around the platform that had been filled with high-grade jade stones.

As world origin continued to gather, they seemed to be sapped away by a power in the platform before entering the prepared jade stones. They also slowly started to transform into essence crystals.

Even though Shang Xia once saw how essence crystals formed in the Tongyou Elysium, it was nothing compared to the massive scale at which it was happening before them! Compared to the powerful formation and the huge scale at which it was taking place, the Tongyou Elysium could only be described as poor losers! Their utilization of world origin was also horrifyingly low compared to what he was seeing.

The only fortunate thing about producing essence crystals in the Tongyou Elysium was that even if the efficiency was low, they wouldn’t lose too much world origin as it would simply remain in the system.

Shang Xia also learned where the essence crystals he found in Star Ship came from.

Looking at the high-grade jade stones on the platform that were slowly stained with world origin, he could tell that they weren’t at the level of becoming low-grade essence crystals yet. It would take a long time for them to complete the transformation. He couldn’t help but ask, “Can we bring this back? If we manage to get our hands on a formation like this, this trip will be worth it anyway.”

Even though Shang Xia didn’t know too much about formations, he had been in contact with several rank six formations because of his interactions with Chu Jia. His judgment of formations was passable at the very least. He could tell that the formation he was looking at was at least a rank six formation.

Kou Chongxue glanced at him before muttering helplessly, “Aren’t you curious about what happened here?”

Shang Xia was slightly taken aback by the question. “It was just an idea! Anyway, if we don’t leave soon, the Star Origin Guards will probably send someone over.”

Even though he didn’t know what mixup there was and why Tong Yutang didn’t appear, the Star Ships present still belonged to the Star Origin Guards. Even so, none of the experts on board were Star Origin Guards.

Whatever it was and no matter how confusing things were, Shang Xia was sure that after those people were killed, experts in Star Origin City definitely learned of their deaths and might be rushing over at the moment.

With their identities, it wasn’t appropriate for Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue to clash with the Star Origin City at the moment.

It was just that the formation platform was just too…

Even if Shang Xia had a massive Spatial Pouch, he couldn’t possibly contain the entire formation!

They didn’t know enough about formations to deconstruct it either!

“This formation platform is definitely the key to that mysterious expert’s entry to the fourth tier…” Kou Chongxue concluded suddenly.

Glancing at the 2 unconscious cultivators on the ground, Shang Xia knew that Kou Chongxue probably forced the truth out of them earlier. However, he couldn’t hold himself back and asked, “Do you mean to say that the mysterious expert has already succeeded?”

Kou Chongxue’s expression was getting gloomier as they spoke, but he nodded in affirmation and explained, “Since the mysterious expert is nowhere to be seen, while the formation is active with the protection of a few Star Ships nearby, they are probably trying to drain the last bit of value from this place…”

“What do we do now?” Shang Xia frowned.

Kou Chongxue sighed softly. “We don’t have any other options. We can only break this down with force and bring back whatever we can. You’re right. Experts from the Star Origin City might be arriving soon. We need to leave before they get here. After returning to the Spirit Luxuriant World, we can only see how much Little Chu can deduce from the pieces we bring back.”

After he spoke, he raised his Hidden Frost Sword and started slashing at the platform.

Shang Xia exclaimed suddenly, “Can these 2 be of help?”

After thinking for a moment, Kou Chongxue mumbled, “You can try. However, it’s like you said. We don’t have much time.”

Shang Xia raised his arm and gestured into the air, and he woke them up immediately.

“Enough. You’re both in the Martial Extermination Realm at the very least. Stop pretending to be dazed to waste my time.” Shang Xia exposed them instantly. “I will split you up after this and only 1 of you will be able to live. Depending on the amount of information you provide, I will allow the person who gives me the most useful information to live. Anyway, I’ll only give you the time it takes to burn half a stick of incense. The person who lives will be brought away with us and your safety will be guaranteed.”

After he spoke, he nodded to Kou Chongxue and they shrouded one each with their domain.

When the time it took to burn half a stick of incense had passed, Kou Chongxue’s sword qi accurately slashed at parts of the formation with the assistance of the Formation Grandmaster who revealed the most information.

With Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue making as much space as they could in their spatial artifacts, they were only able to take away the core portion of the formation.

As soon as they brought it away and the formation lost its effect, the Ruined World started to experience a strange transformation.

Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia knew that it wouldn’t be wise to linger and they brought the defector with them away.

Once they reached a certain distance away from the Ruined World, they turned around to observe the Ruined World only to see that even though the land masses still drifted about in the shape of a sphere, they were no longer restrained by the formless power. They started drifting further and further apart as several fragments became so weak that they started to crumble.

What crumbled along with the land masses was the remains of the Star Ship Kou Chongxue destroyed and the corpses on the platform.

“They should have sucked all the value out of this Ruined World, right?” Shang Xia mumbled while looking at the scene of destruction before him. Everything was slowly turning to dust, and they looked similar to the nebula he would occasionally run into in the vast sea of stars.

Not too long after Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue left, spatial gates opened around the remains of the Ruined World as several clearly marked Star Ships of the Star Origin City emerged. They quickly formed a battle formation as they got ready to fight as 2 Star Ships at the very front were covered in the horrifying aura of a Martial Void Realm True Immortal each!
