"That original incarnation has indeed changed. I wonder if this is a sign of the Star Lord's full awakening!"
Shang Xia gazed anxiously at the seventh-rank incarnation's back. He quickly raised his hand, shattering the void and releasing the seven True Immortals of the Three Realms Alliance who had fallen into it.
In just a moment, the two third-rank True Immortals among the seven looked extremely distressed. Even Qu Guan, the veteran fourth-rank True Immortal, looked terrified.
The temporary space Shang Xia had forcibly opened up using the "Secret Art of Breaking Through the Void and Establishing a Realm" was no safe or stable place. It was essentially a forcibly torn space, filled with spatial debris and riddled with void traps. Anyone less capable of falling into it could be in danger at any moment, and it wasn't uncommon for them to be swept away by the shattering torrent of space. This is because Kou Chongxue had learned something about Shang Xia's secret technique from him. Therefore, the moment they were trapped in this space, he warned the others to be cautious. He and Master Zuo Li also assisted the two third-grade masters, whose cultivation was weaker, to resist the dangers there.
In fact, if Shang Xia had used the Six Harmonies Mirror martial arts ability, he could have made the forcibly opened and precarious space much safer, and naturally made it even more dangerous. However, it was clear that Shang Xia did not want to reveal more of his hidden abilities.
Even so, Shang Xia's methods and the strength he displayed were enough to deeply shock the other masters of the Three Realms Alliance!
"Master Shang, it seems your secret technique can be used to open up secret realms in space?"
This world is undoubtedly full of discerning individuals. Although Shang Xia did not reveal more of his methods, Master Shao still saw the potential of this technique from the "Secret Technique of Opening Up the Void and Establishing the Realm." Shang Xia smiled, "It was originally just a means of evading the enemy and escaping, but I hadn't thought too much about it. By the way, are you all injured?"
Shang Xia replied casually and tried to change the subject.
Kou Chongxue immediately followed up, "It's not a problem at all. Master Qu was nearly in danger, but thankfully you reacted quickly and released everyone. By the way, should we help Zhuo Gudao immediately? He's about to be besieged by three seventh-level avatars."
Zhuo Gudao was extremely close to the Yuanping Realm's sky barrier. If the Three Realms Alliance's high-level masters tried to help him, they would inevitably be drawn into the fray again.
You have to know that Zhuo Gudao was facing a siege from three seventh-level Star Lord avatars, a battlefield of Seventh Heaven chaos.
Zuo Li and Kou Chongxue exchanged glances, seemingly reaching a consensus. Zuo Li immediately declared, "We must rescue them!"
Kou Chongxue said, "We don't need to go too deep. Just attack from the edge. If it's a trap, or if we find ourselves out of reach, we'll retreat immediately."
The long-standing tacit understanding among the seven True Immortals of the Three Realms Alliance was revealed at this moment. Once Zuo Li and Kou Chongxue reached a consensus, the entire joint attack formation was ready to move.
However, Shang Xia suddenly stopped them and said, "Wait!"
Zuo Li and Kou Chongxue looked at him in confusion, waiting for his explanation. Shang Xia quickly pointed in the other direction, towards the void affected by the fighting, and said, "Look over there! The people from the Star Lord's Mansion are retreating while fighting!"
Master Qu Guan looked in his direction but saw nothing, much less sensed anything. He couldn't help but ask, "How did you know?"
Before Shang Xia could explain, Kou Chongxue spoke first, "Then retreat!"
Master Zuo Li looked at Kou Chongxue in surprise, then immediately echoed, "Since the people from the Star Lord's Mansion have already evacuated, there's no need for us to rescue Zhuo Gudao."
Seeing this, the others said nothing more. The eight masters from the Three Realms Alliance immediately began to retreat outside the void covering the sky barrier.
However, before they could get too far away, two of the three Star Lord avatars besieging Zhuo Gudao above the sky barrier had successfully merged. Immediately, the aura of the newly merged avatars underwent a qualitative transformation. Yet, facing an Origin Avatar whose combat power might have reached the second level of the seventh rank, Zhuo Gudao remained calm and composed.
However, he also understood that it was impossible to do anything at this point, and to avoid encirclement, he fought and retreated.
But at this moment, he noticed the dozen or so sixth-rank puppets flying towards him.
Zhuo Gudao, who had previously remained calm even when facing three Origin Avatars, suddenly changed his expression upon seeing the dozen or so puppets crafted from the bodies of sixth-rank warriors, and immediately began to retreat at full speed.
At the edge of the void where the sky barrier lay, several True Immortals of the Three Realms Alliance were about to leave. However, Zuo Li and Kou Chongxue, who remained behind, suddenly noticed Shang Xia's sudden pause and turned to look back. The two, confused and knowing they could escape at any moment, simultaneously stayed and asked, "What happened?"
Shang Xia pointed to a distant, chaotic void and said, "Zhuo Gudao seems very afraid of those sixth-level puppets following the seventh-level incarnation."
By this time, Zuo Li and Kou Chongxue had already learned from Shang Xia about the existence of the dozen or so sixth-level puppets, and they sighed in wonder.
Kou Chongxue asked curiously, "Is he simply afraid of those sixth-level puppets?"
Shang Xia didn't answer immediately, but instead carefully observed and sensed the distorted and obscured void in the distance. After a moment, he spoke uncertainly, "Those puppets seem to be forming a joint attack formation with the seventh-level incarnation!"
As if to confirm Shang Xia's words, the moment he finished speaking, the distorted and shattered void was suddenly permeated with brilliant, chaotic starlight again, revealing a night sky reflected like a broken mirror in the sight of Shang Xia and the others. However, just when Shang Xia and the others thought Zhuo Gudao might be in trouble this time, the void barrier they were currently standing on, used to shield the sky screen, suddenly began to dissolve.
The moment the two isolated voids merged, a surge of impact no less powerful than the turbulent void.
Because it happened so suddenly, Shang Xia only had time to freeze the void around him when he used his "Void Stabilization Style." Zuo Li and Kou Chongxue were caught off guard by the spatial force of the fusion of the two voids, instantly separating them from him. The next moment, they disappeared to an unknown location.
However, Shang Xia didn't need to worry about their safety. Although the void fusion phenomenon had just occurred, it had only lasted a short time and was unlikely to harm the two experienced masters.
At this moment, Shang Xia finally understood what had just happened. Over two hundred Xingyuan Guards now appeared above the previous spatial barrier. Under the leadership of Guard Leader Tong Yutang, they had formed a Xingyuan combined attack formation powerful enough to overwhelm the surrounding void, covering a hundred thousand miles. Even though they had just overturned the void barrier, the cosmic torrent-like impact unleashed by the fusion of the two layers of void was unable to shake the combined attack formation in the slightest!
At the same time, Shang Xia clearly saw the seven True Persons of the Star Lord's Mansion, who had recently abandoned Zhuo Gudao and evacuated on their own, merge directly into the combined attack formation of over two hundred Xingyuan Guards.
Only then did Shang Xia suddenly understand: Zhuo Gudao's backup plan lay here!
