When Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue arrived, several other Sages from the Heaven Observation Star Region had already reached the Void Mirage. "Star Origin Lord, do you know what is happening now?" Shang Xia directly raised his voice toward a certain part of the void. Starlight rippled within the void, finally coalescing into the figure of the Star Origin Lord. In a deep voice, he said, "The situation is not good. The seal you and I set up is being breached. Even with Yan Yu doing his utmost to suppress it, the effect is negligible." Upon hearing his evaluation, Shang Xia also mumbled, "If the seal you and I set can be breached, it can only mean that whoever is acting from beyond the Chaotic Sea of Stars is at least a high-level Sage. There’s most likely more than one. Naturally, Yan Yu cannot hold them off." The Star Origin Lord nodded. "That is why I have been waiting for you to arrive." Shang Xia raised an eyebrow. "Isn’t Gu Yi closer? Hasn’t he already arrived ahead of me? Why did you have to wait for me specifically?" "Sage Shang, you are mistaken!" Gu Yi stepped out from the shadowy void with a smile. "This seal was jointly laid down by you and the Star Origin Lord. If I were to interfere rashly, I might cause it to collapse even faster! Since that’s the case, naturally to leave you two with the task." Shang Xia only smiled faintly at his words and said nothing more. The Star Origin Lord didn’t hesitate to speak again. "Since almost everyone is here, let us head to the core of the seal and take a look. Yan Yu has already sent several urgent transmissions to urge us to hurry up." There was no question. The moment the three Sages of the Heaven Observation Star Region appeared, they immediately took control of the situation. The other Sages did not even have a chance to speak. The source of this content ɪs ɴovelfire.net Several lights flashed from different directions in the void, and Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue followed after them. Moments later, they arrived above a broken land fragment floating in the void where a vague, illusory gate shimmered faintly. Beyond it lay a Dao Field. In front of the portal hovered Yan Yu, his aura surging as streams of his inner qi were transferred to the seal. Beneath the floating fragment lay a sealed void. On the surface, it resembled a living landscape painting. The ink-like scenery, which should have been still, churned violently. Mountain peaks seemed ready to take solid form; clouds that had been static surged and billowed. Forests swayed wildly as a howling wind caused a region of void to shift rapidly. Its roar reached the ears of every Sage present. Yan Yu was doing his best to suppress the bubbles swelling on the ink-like surface of the void, but whenever he pressed one down, another would bulge up elsewhere, leaving him constantly one step behind. As the bubbles multiplied, the painted scenery inside the seal became increasingly lifelike. Some portions even began to separate from the seal and take on reality. Once the mirage fully became real, the Star Field connected through it would immediately tear into the void of the Chaotic Sea of Stars, starting their invasion. "What are you all waiting for? Waiting for the channel to open? Why aren’t you making a move? Perhaps already at his limits, Yan Yu, seeing the gathered Sages remain motionless, roared angrily, ignoring the status of those around him. Yet the other Sages still did not move, as though they had not heard him at all. Everyone was waiting for the Star Origin Lord and Shang Xia to act. Even Gu Yi, himself a high-level Sage, did not dare to take the lead. Then, as if suddenly realizing something, Gu Yi unfurled a pair of vast wings behind him, formed entirely of his own inner qi. With a single beat, an invisible void storm swept over the surface of the sealed void, and the disturbed area instantly calmed. Elsewhere, Kou Chongxue seemed to sense something as well and glanced at Shang Xia, only to see Shang Xia nodding slightly at him. With that, Kou Chongxue understood. Spotting a nearby section of the sealed void where a vast forest was about to solidify, he drew his sword in one smooth stroke. The forest that had emerged on the seal’s surface was instantly cut down by the sweep of sword qi. When it shrank back into the painted landscape of the seal, the once wind-tossed forest had somehow become a field of stumps, and the sealed scene fell still again. With Gu Yi and Kou Chongxue taking the lead, the other Sages finally realized that the Star Origin Lord and Shang Xia had already begun working together to suppress the entities in the other Star Fields that were trying to break through and open the channel. Their battle was hidden, such that no one had noticed until now. The other Sages quickly joined in, aiding Yan Yu in suppressing the breach. One by one, the swelling bubbles of the void were flattened. One by one, the mirages trying to take reality were sealed again, returning to their ink-painted sealed state. But the powers from the foreign Star Field clearly had no intention of giving up. Even as the Heaven Observation Star Region’s Sages pressed them back, the assaults beneath the seal never ceased. The repeated clashes were steadily weakening the original seal, even under the full suppression of the Star Origin Lord and Shang Xia. At this rate, even if they managed to repel the assault, the original seal would be beyond repair. Worse still, the enemy’s attack was damaging not only the seal itself but also the foundation needed to set up a new one. "Do the two of you have no other way to directly drive them back? If they can attach us through the connection, why can’t we strike back at theirs?" Sage Yu Kun of the Essence Yuan Heavenly Field yelled in frustration as he fought to hold his section. After the Heaven Observation Star Region’s Heavenly Fields carved up the Essence Du Heavenly Field, Yu Kun had received a 10,000 mile continent from it, merging it into his world. Unfortunately, he failed to reach the mid-level because of it and he stood at the peak of the third star. "Heh, and how do you know the two of them don’t want to?" This time, it was Gu Yi who replied, his voice carrying a hint of derision. "Do you know how many high-level Sages from the other Star Field are working together to destroy our seal? For Shang Xia and the Star Origin Lord to hold out so long... It’s something even I find hard to believe!"
