Chapter 2259: Half of the Yellow Peak Region Disappearing

" It’s over...?" Standing at the very edge of the seemingly bottomless pit that had appeared just a few hundred meters behind him, one of the Star Creation Realm cultivators who had managed to successfully get out of the ancient formation in time couldn’t help voicing out his confused thoughts. Unable to fully comprehend what had just happened even with his seemingly high cultivation realm.

The sheer scale of destruction and how seemingly silently everything behind him and the rest of the survivors had been erased, causing even someone who thought of themselves as standing at the pinnacle of power after having reached the Star Creation Realm to feel powerless, a feeling none of them had felt since breaking through to the Star Creation Realm.

Sure, they might be aware that a wider world existed and being surpassing the Star Creation Realm were around, but they had never personally had the chance to experience just how destructive someone surpassing the Profound Immortal Realm could truly be- and destructive it was, as the self-destruction sequence of the Void Observation Branch didn’t just have power comparable to the Venerable Realm, but had utilized enough power to kill someone at that realm in its last moment.

Faced with the kind of power that could even kill someone at the Venerable Realm, it was understandable that the group of Star Creation Realm cultivators were left shivering in fear, let alone those below the Star Creation Realm, as those fellows had either collapsed out of fear or had been rendered speechless by what they had just witnessed. Not knowing how to react to what they had just seen. Only able to stare mindlessly into the seemingly endless abyss that had emerged before them following half of the Yellow Peak Region being erased.

"Let’s leave before more people start showing up, I doubt it will be easy for us to leave if we wait around for too long." Also looking towards the vast abyss that had just been created, one of the weaker cultivators decided to kindly remind the ones around him before setting off in the direction of the Northern Central Region. Aware that this kind of large-scale destruction was bound to draw the attention of the entire Southern Central Region despite the current chaotic state the region found itself.

No... It wouldn’t just draw the attention of the different major powers from the Southern Central Region but would likely also end up drawing the attention of the elusive Nine Core Faiths that remained uninvolved in the affairs of the Southern Central Region and the rest of the continent under normal circumstances.

And faced with all these powerful figures about to shift their attention towards the Western Central Region, it was best for weaker cultivators like themselves to get out of the way, lest they end up drawing unwanted attention from some of the senior showing up to investigate the situation in person.

Heck, even the survivors at the Star Creation Realm ended up taking his words to heart, as they realized that there was a good chance those who showed up later would believe they had managed to successfully seize the inheritance of the Void Observation Branch of the Mirage Sect, something that was more than enough reason for some of those powerful figures to risk their lives fighting them.

With that in mind, before any of that could happen, it would be best for the survivors, at or below the Star Creation Realm alike, to get as far away from the Yellow Peak Region of the Western Central Region as possible.

Still, just going back in the direction of the Southern Central Region wouldn’t work with them potentially running into the people who would be rushing over to see what had happened.

Because of this, after hesitating for a few seconds, the group of survivors split off into three different groups.

One moving towards the outer edge of the continent in hopes of hiding away there, while another moved towards the Northern Central Region.

The third and largest group compromised of monks from the Western Central Region, decided to fly over the newly created abyss that had once been part of the Yellow Peak Region. The flight itself being far from safe, as countless spatial anomalies were still present throughout the newly formed abyss. Making travel through it far from simple even for someone with strength comparable to the Star Creation Realm.

Luckily for the monks, they had someone somewhat proficient in the Dao of Space leading the way. Ensuring their path wasn’t too dangerous.

Of course, even though they ended up travelling through the newly formed abyss, they didn’t dare get too close to the center of the abyss where the Void Observation Branch had once been located.

The reason behind this being the simple fact that the spatial anomalies grew stronger and deadlier the closer to the center of the abyss one went- and even for someone in the Star Creation Realm proficient in the Dao of Space, the remnant spatial anomalies left behind were strong enough to easily tear them apart.

...

"Hm?" At the same time, having already crossed over into the Northern Central Region close to the borders of the Blue Sea Empire under the control of the demonic cultivators, Xuan Hao froze for a short instant as a distinct ripple could be felt in the space around him. "What a strong spatial disturbance. Should be the ancient formation initiating its own self-destruction." Not having to guess where this kind of terrifying spatial ripple had come from, as only the ancient formation collapsing in on itself and bringing about its own destruction could cause that kind of spatial disturbance that reached him from so far away.

No... There was a good chance he wouldn’t be the only one who felt this kind of massive disturbance, as with the sheer strength of the spatial ripple that had washed over him, he had a feeling that it would end up reaching at least half the continent before it began weakening.

Even then, for someone who had reached the Large Success Realm in the Dao of Space, they would most likely be able to feel the ripple even beyond the Ewaria Continent.

In other words, there was a good chance that all the major powers from the Southern Central Region would sense this disturbance. Shifting their attention towards the Western Central Region.

Although this didn’t mean the Star Shattering Sect would be in any danger from drawing the attention of these major powers, it wasn’t exactly great that the Western Central Region would soon grow chaotic with the gathering of so many powerful figures. Especially considering how close the Yellow Peak Region was to the Northern Central Region.

Even a small clash carried a risk of the conflict spilling over into the Northern Central Region.

"Well... At least with the Northern Central Region split in half because of the demonic cultivators from the Frozen Wasteland, the demonic cultivators will end up facing the fallout of the upcoming chaos first..." Smiling somewhat wryly to himself upon realizing that the demonic cultivators had somehow turned into the Star Shattering Sect’s shield against the different major powers from the Southern Central Region, Xuan Hao couldn’t help silently thanking the demonic cultivators for their selfless sacrifice in the future.

Of course, that was a worst-case scenario.

If everything worked out well and those curious major powers drawn by the destruction that had taken place in the Yellow Peak Region found no reason to stay behind, things would blow over without any harm done to the Northern Central Region.

Problem was, even if he didn’t expect the different major powers to start fighting after realizing there wasn’t anything for them to fight over, he couldn’t say for certain what the attitude of those nine core faiths would be.

After all, his knowledge about these nine powers was extremely limited and they only ever appeared whenever something affecting the stability or the overall power structure of the continent itself took place.

Although the situation in the Yellow Peak Region could be considered to have ended, the damage to the continent itself along with the disturbance that had been caused... Xuan Hao had a feeling some of those nine would be moving to either stabilize the situation or investigate what had happened more closely.

Part of him might have wanted to use this kind of opportunity to assess the strength of the nine core faiths, but he also understood that doing so came with immense risks.

In the end, as he crossed the Blue Sea Empire and made his way back towards the Shattered Star Peaks with part of the Starfall Observatory’s inheritance in hand, he decided it would be for the best to avoid contact with the nine core faiths for now.

Fearful that they might end up shifting their attention towards the Star Shattering Sect behind him if they ended up discovering him. Scrutiny that he was doubtful the Star Shattering Sect would be able to survive being subjected to.
