The Terror of Option Chapter 1461 1461: 257 RI

Infallible blessed land battlefield.

At this instant, Fang Yuan along with the Southern and Northern immortals dashed forward without hesitating!

Fang Yuan was at the front-most position, acting as the sharpest tip of the spear.

He had beco the only hope of the Southern and Northern immortals, he was shouldering their expectations.

"How ironic, how pitiful! This battle has reached such a state where we are actually staking our hopes on our enemy." The Southern and Northern immortals had complicated feelings.

"Associating with Fang Yuan, they are indeed a bunch of evil demons!" The Heavenly Court Gu Immortals shouted with despise as they rushed forward.

What else was there to say?

Everything was for benefits, everything was for survival, everything was for victory!

"Fang Yuan! Stop right there!" A Heavenly Court Gu Immortal pounced on Fang Yuan.

"I will block him, Fang Yuan, continue to charge forward." Heavenly Lord Bai Zu called out while moving ahead.

Two Immortal Gu Houses ca charging over; these two Southern and Northern Immortal Gu Houses inclined to the side, protecting Fang Yuan in the middle like they were guarding their emperor.

In the battle of rank eight Gu Immortals, Immortal Gu Houses seed like brutes that could only attack by colliding with each other.

A sharp light flashed past Fang Yuan's eyes.

This was an unprecedented experience for him, he had never expected that there would be such a peculiar scene.

He had actually obtained the selfless and sacrificial help of the Southern and Northern immortals!

"We will retreat, quick, quick, pull apart so distance!" Heaven Overseeing Tower began to retreat.

Fang Yuan and others' final charge was too overwhelming, their montum was like a crazed tiger. At the crucial mont, even though Heavenly Court's mbers were mostly guarding the back, few could actually co over to help defend Heaven Overseeing Tower.

Duke Long lifted his hands with so difficulty and as he pushed apart Di Zang Sheng's teeth inch by inch.

Although his back was facing Fang Yuan and Heaven Overseeing Tower, he was aware of the battle situation through everybody's vision killer move.

"Fang Yuan is their only hope, as long as we can kill him... these Southern and Northern immortals' morale will fall to the depths, they might even surrender because of their hope being extinguished!"

"Not only this, Fang Yuan has Spring Autumn Cicada and is also Red Lotus' final hope."

At this instant, a mory surfaced in Duke Long's mind.

Red Lotus was bathed in blood and on the verge of death, he used all his remaining strength to stand in front of Duke Long.

Duke Long looked at him quietly and said with a slightly hoarse voice: "Hong Ting, you have no hope left already. Give up, surrender, I will give you the chance to turn over a new leaf."

"Even at this stage, you are still not willing to give up on , master? Hehehe." Red Lotus Demon Venerable laughed: "But unfortunately, master, my hope has not been extinguished yet."

3"Hmph, what hope do you still have? What are you relying on?"

"My hope is not here, master. I left it to... the great era. When the great era is about to descend, you will see him. He will be like , carving his way to Heavenly Court in battle."

Duke Long sighed and said with an unshakable tone: "Then I shall stop him, just like how I stopped you today. You are my disciple, master will atone for the mistake you made. Regarding your hope, master shall personally... kill it!"

1Roar!

Duke Long gave a furious roar and exerted strength in his hands, he pried open Di Zang Sheng's teeth and disappeared.

Clang!

At the next mont, Di Zang Sheng's teeth snapped together fiercely and produced dazzling sparks.

But Duke Long had already appeared behind Fang Yuan.

His large hand grabbed towards Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan imdiately felt an incomparable force pulling at him firmly. A vast aura of danger ca from behind him like a tsunami and wanted to drown him completely!

"Duke Long!" Fang Yuan clenched his teeth as he suddenly turned around and used a killer move to fight Duke Long.

"I will kill you!" Duke Long's amber-like dragon eyes reflected Fang Yuan's appearance, his tone filled with killing intent.

But an Immortal Gu House inserted itself in between the two.

"Fang Yuan, go!" Many Southern and Northern immortals shouted together.

Fang Yuan snorted coldly as he turned around and chased after Heaven Overseeing Tower.

Duke Long was blocked, he gave a loud shout as he activated his killer move and slashed with his claws! The incomparably tough Immortal Gu House tore apart like it was paper.

Duke Long continued to give chase but he had just moved a few steps when Heavenly Lord Bai Zu appeared before him.

Duke Long grabbed and smashed at Heavenly Lord Bai Zu.

But Heavenly Lord Bai Zu charged over once again.

"He didn't die?" Duke Long was astonished, he had clearly activated his investigative killer move to sense Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's main body.

But the Heavenly Lord Bai Zu before him gave off the sa feeling as the main body.

Duke Long's thoughts moved as he imdiately realized: "Is it a killer move that can allow the main body to imdiately switch position with his clones?"

It was exactly so.

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was once a famous rank eight lone cultivator of Northern Plains, and later he obtained Hei tribe's territory, creating Bai Zu tribe and joining Northern Plains' righteous path.

Longevity Heaven actively roped in all the Northern Plains Gu Immortals for the big picture, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was among the first to be roped in.

One of Heavenly Lord Bai Zu's conditions to join them was one immortal killer move in Longevity Heaven's treasury. With this move, he could switch the positions of his clone and main body.

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu had specially asked for this because of his repeated failures when he invaded Hei Fan grotto-heaven before.

It was because of this that after Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was teleported to Eastern Sea by the killer move karma relocation, he was able to quickly switch positions with a clone and return to Infallible blessed land.

"Annoying fly." Duke Long frowned slightly.

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu obstructed him repeatedly, although he could not last even one move, in the ti of danger, he would switch position with a clone.

His performance was extrely shocking, he actually stalled Duke Long.

But soon, other Heavenly Court Gu Immortals targeted Heavenly Lord Bai Zu.

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu fell into danger and was busy taking care of himself.

Duke Long caught up to Fang Yuan once again but Five Elents Grandmaster was already protecting Fang Yuan from behind.

"Co." Five Elents Grandmaster used his strongest defensive thod — Five Elents Ring.

This was an immortal formation condensed into a five colored ring.

"If nothing else, I can at least hold on for a few breaths of ti!" Five Elents Grandmaster gritted his teeth.

But Duke Long was not even stalled for a mont, he directly broke the five elents ring and chased after Fang Yuan.

Five Elents Grandmaster suffered a heavy backlash from having his defensive killer move destroyed. But he quickly swallowed the blood that surged up and chased after Duke Long without any regards for his own health.

Duke Long casually threw a dragon-shaped purple-gold qi without even looking back.

This was a qi path killer move!

Five Elents Grandmaster looked on with wide and furious eyes as he was struck by the purple-gold dragon qi, with a loud sound, he burst into countless pieces, dying on the spot.

Five Elents Grandmaster's death did not deter the Southern and Northern immortals.

Soon, Yi Hao Fang attacked without any regard for himself as he tried to stop Duke Long.

Duke Long was held back for a few breaths of ti, but he soon killed Yi Hao Fang.

"I don't have much ti left." Duke Long did not show it on the surface but his heart was gradually becoming anxious. Heavenly dragon's last stand killer move made him so powerful that he could kill rank eight Gu Immortals like killing birds, but his lifespan was about to reach its end.

Under the Southern and Northern immortals' suicidal obstruction, Fang Yuan finally caught up to Heaven Overseeing Tower.

Heaven Overseeing Tower was being held back by Bing Sai Chuan using Calamity Luck Altar.

Immortal killer move — Great Thief Ghost Hand!

Fang Yuan's luck was good, he grabbed a rank seven Immortal Gu as well as a large amount of mortal Gu.

But this was nothing much to Heaven Overseeing Tower.

Especially when Fang Yuan was clearly aware that although great thief ghost hand relied on ghostly concealnt, it was not a genuine rank nine killer move and had no effect on fate Gu.

"The only effective thod is still dream path killer moves!" Fang Yuan did not have offensive dream path killer moves and could only use Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies to self-detonate.

But Heaven Overseeing Tower was already prepared against such a crude offensive thod. Fang Yuan had to look for a perfect opportunity otherwise he would only waste his resources without any gains.

Fang Yuan's battle tactic was to use great thief ghost hand to constantly force back Heaven Overseeing Tower and create a chance to detonate Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies.

He did not know how long the Southern and Northern immortals could hold on for, but this was currently his best tactic.

But when Fang Yuan used the second great thief ghost hand, a rank eight Gu Immortal suddenly appeared and easily blocked his great thief ghost hand.

"Lu Wei Yin, what are you doing!" The Southern and Northern Gu Immortals imdiately shouted out this person's na in surprise and anger.

Lu Wei Yin pointed towards Fang Yuan: "My disciple Ye Fan died in your hands, Fang Yuan, you shall die here."

"Lu Wei Yin, you are Paradise Earth's inheritor, you are a Southern Border Gu Immortal!"

"Even if you want to take revenge for your disciple, why do you need to do it at this ti?"

"Step aside now!"

"Join hands with us to defeat Heavenly Court! Or else..."

The Southern and Northern Gu Immortals berated agitatedly.

Lu Wei Yin, however, shook his head: "Everything is too late, Heavenly Court's Fate has been repaired, the situation is set in stone. Relying on this demon Fang Yuan will only increase casualties, it will not change our defeat. Everyone, you have to face reality, stop trying to go against the tide, we need to avoid even more death and suffering among the people!"

-x-X-x-

Lu Wei Yin might have no offensive killer moves, he was extrely powerful in other aspects.

He easily blocked the Southern and Northern immortals' furious attacks, even Fang Yuan was unable to do anything to him.

"Indeed worthy of being Paradise Earth's inheritor!" Many Heavenly Court Gu Immortals observed with their full attention.

In just a short period of ti, Lu Wei Yin had actually blocked the Southern and Northern immortals' crazed attacks by himself. Almost none of Heavenly Court Gu Immortals present now could achieve this!

Only now were the Southern and Northern immortals aware of Lu Wei Yin's power!

Despite Lu Wei Yin having no offensive thods, his comprehensive strength was still above Li Huang and Chen Yi.

The Southern and Northern immortals were full of hatred towards Lu Wei Yin, this hatred was many tis stronger than their hatred towards Fang Yuan!

It was because Lu Wei Yin's appearance had destroyed their last hope. Fang Yuan and the rest attacked madly but all the attacks were blocked by him alone.

"Hahaha." Duke Long laughed loudly, he was currently entangled with Di Zang Sheng, Lu Wei Yin had salvaged the situation in his place.

Duke Long was much happier to be receiving Lu Wei Yin's help than him taking action personally.

Because this ant that Paradise Earth's faction had submitted to them.

"This is the heart of the people. Back then, when fate Gu appeared, Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable relied on it to change the minds of many human Gu Immortals and awakened the spirit to resist our common enemy. The sa thing is happening now!"

An injured fate Gu was not worthy of being revered.

But a complete fate Gu was a banner just like the records in history!

Its significance to humanity far surpassed its own abilities.

It represented the support of the people, this was the trend of the future.

Human hearts were difficult to change, but Heavenly Court had fate Gu and could make countless enemy Gu Immortals dispel any thought of confrontation and even make them betray their side and surrender!

With this, Heavenly Court and Central Continent would save an imnse amount of effort and trouble.

Duke Long could not help but be thankful towards Fairy Zi Wei's choice, using everybody's vision, all these scenes were disseminated to every part of Central Continent and even throughout the other four regions and two heavens.

Lu Wei Yin's stance was a sign, he was the start of the trend where large numbers of Gu Immortals would surrender and bow their heads to Heavenly Court in the future.

The impact of a pioneer was limitless.

Especially when it was Lu Wei Yin: Paradise Earth's inheritor.

In the future, when many Gu Immortals hesitate whether to surrender or not, they would think: 'even Lu Wei Yin, this Paradise Earth inheritor, changed sides, so what if I do the sa?'

Thus, they would get past this ntal obstacle.

Lu Wei Yin's action was like a formless storm and its influence would spread to all parts of Central Continent.

The other regions' Gu Immortals who were already preparing to leave, they retreated even faster now.

At the sa ti, in the headquarters of Spirit Affinity House, Zhao Lian Yun looked like she was ready to move out.

"Fairy Lian Yun, where are you going? It is extrely dangerous outside." Bu Zhen Zi persuaded.

Zhao Lian Yun smiled: "I have love Gu's protection and the enemies are currently fleeing in fear. If we want to make so contributions, isn't this the perfect ti?"

Zhao Lian Yun's wish was soon approved by several supre elders of Spirit Affinity House.

In the previous chaotic battle in Central Continent, all kinds of monsters and demons appeared and fought, creating chaos and disorder. For the restoration plan, Heavenly Court had mobilized a large amount of Gu Immortals from Central Continent's ten great ancient sects.

Central Continent's ten great ancient sects beca weak, they could only give up many of their territories and resources, wisely choosing to go on the defensive.

Right now, through everybody's vision killer move, the Gu Immortals who were guarding various areas realized the change in the situation. Many experienced ones understood this was the ti to counterattack!

"Kill these thieves who dared to invade my Central Continent!"

"Beat them, beat these despicable fellows till they are scared out of their wits."

"Ah, this stifling anger inside , I shall vent it all on you!"

With Central Continent's ten great ancient sects at the lead, waves of counterattacks started. The remnant righteous path, demonic path, and lone immortals in various parts of Central Continent made their move and quickly recovered the lost territories while also attacking the four regions' Gu Immortals who were still in Central Continent.

The four regions' Gu Immortals were beaten back step by step, so even died.

These battle scenes were all seen by the Central Continent Gu Immortals in Infallible blessed land, their morale imdiately rose.

Fang Yuan and the rest got into an increasingly perilous situation.

Duke Long was very pleased.

This was the scene he wanted to see.

Using the banner called fate Gu, almost all the Gu Immortals of Central Continent were roused and united.

This unified force was terrifying. This was already proven by the rise of humanity in Heavenly Court's historical records.

At this mont, Duke Long could feel it very deeply, every generation of Heavenly Court mbers placed so much focus on fate Gu intentionally to establish the aning behind this banner!

This was a signal from the depths of the soul, it was an intense and irresistible call of duty.

3Fate Gu itself was only a rank nine Immortal Gu and could not even be used directly. But in Heavenly Court's hands, it was given a spirit and significance that far surpassed itself, and this influence was further magnified countless tis using the history of the human race.

Looking at it, wasn't it an incredible situation?

Fate Gu's practicality was far lower than other rank nine Immortal Gu like wisdom Gu. But when it was used by Heavenly Court, it could change people's hearts, unite the scattered forces and rge everyone's will into one.

Lu Wei Yin's betrayal...

Lone immortal Jian Yi Sheng and Mi Lan Guang, who was expelled from his sect, both took the initiative to ally and ambush Great Treasury Immortal...

With Zhao Lian Yun as the representative, Central Continent's Gu Immortals counterattacked....

The other four regions' Gu Immortals retreated with an all-ti low morale...

It was impossible for an immortal killer move to achieve all these changes, even if it was the rank nine killer move people's united hearts.

But now, Duke Long relied on just fate Gu to achieve these.

Gu Master and Gu Immortals nurtured, used, and refined Gu. Not ntioning the other two aspects, just based on using Gu — Heavenly Court's usage of fate Gu had already broken free of its limitations, they far surpassed the Gu's limits, they reached an unprecedented and supre level!

If one considered this kind of move carefully, it was shocking.

The Heavenly Court immortals attacked from all directions, clearing their old debts.

The Southern and Northern immortals were trapped and surrounded, so scread, so were bleeding, so were panicking, and so looked upon death calmly.

Fang Yuan's heart was also shrouded by a dense shadow. He was unable to break Lu Wei Yin's defense and Heaven Overseeing Tower had already stabilized itself.

Duke Long had intentionally led Di Zang Sheng far away to fight.

"The enemy's chances have already been sealed off." Almost all the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals had this thought.

"Hahaha, in the end, it is still up to to turn the tides around!"

Right at this ti, a voice familiar to Fang Yuan spread throughout the battlefield.

At the sa ti, Immortal Gu House Dragon Palace appeared behind Heaven Overseeing Tower!

"Bai Ning Bing? How did she get control of Dragon Palace?" Fang Yuan was astonished.

The other Gu Immortals were even more shocked.

Bai Ning Bing had already prepared her sneak attack for a long ti, while all the immortals were stunned, Dragon Palace shot out a dense smoke that floated towards Heaven Overseeing Tower.

It was like Heaven Overseeing Tower had fallen into a swamp, at the crucial mont, the Gu Immortals inside activated their thod.

Immortal killer move — Invincible Phantom Tower!

In an instant, Heaven Overseeing Tower went into phantom form and beca virtually untouchable.

"Going into phantom form, hehe." Bai Ning Bing sneered: "You are underestimating too much. Dragon Spirit!"

A boy stood beside her, he laughed: "Master, watch !"

1The dense smoke covered Heaven Overseeing Tower, Heaven Overseeing Tower had turned phantom but was still unable to stop the dense smoke from invading it.

"This is — dream path offensive killer move?!" Fang Yuan's side was stunned and happy, while Heavenly Court's immortals were stunned and furious.

"What is going on?" Both sides were bewildered.

Rewinding ti back by a little bit...

Central Continent, Hidden Dragon Cave.

The battle had already reached the mont of victory and defeat.

Heavenly Court's reinforcents greatly improved the situation of the Four Dragon Generals.

But these reinforcents were already expected and responded to by Eastern Sea's rank eight Gu Immortals.

They fought fiercely, making the battle even more heated.

The Four Dragon Generals were still curling up inside Dragon Palace, and Heavenly Court's reinforcents would not get past the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals within a short period.

But right at this mont, a figure appeared at the edge of the battlefield.

It was Bai Ning Bing!

Chen Yi had used Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable's arrangent to use immortal killer move karma relocation to block the attack of the immortals.

Fang Yuan had quickly found the best thod to deal with this.

Bai Ning Bing attacked under Fang Yuan's command and was transported by karma relocation.

Bai Ning Bing looked at the place she was transported to and realized she was in a dangerous situation.

This was a rank eight level battlefield and it was so intense that it was not sothing she could be involved in!

Bai Ning Bing wanted to retreat but be it Eastern Sea or the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals, they both attacked her imdiately.

The Heavenly Court Gu Immortals saw Bai Ning Bing as an enemy, they naturally wanted to eliminate her.

anwhile, the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals did not want Bai Ning Bing to leave and expose the secret here, so they were going to kill the eyewitness.

At once, Bai Ning Bing fell into a life and death crisis.

"This is trouble!" She was deeply aware of it. Even if she transford into Bai Xiang form, it would be of no use against killer moves of rank eight Gu Immortals.

As death descended upon her, she was not afraid at all, she was only dissatisfied and felt pity as she mumbled: "Is this as far as I go?"

"No, master!" At this crucial mont, she suddenly heard an innocent and clear voice.

Dragon Palace shook as it directly teleported Bai Ning Bing to the deepest part of Dragon Palace.

This scene stunned all the rank eight Gu Immortals in the battlefield, the battle even paused for a mont.

"Who... are you?" Bai Ning Bing discovered that a peculiar life form was standing before her inside Dragon Palace.

It had the appearance of a young boy but it had horns on its head and a tail behind its back. Its eyes shined brightly, it looked cute and adorable.

It looked at Bai Ning Bing and spoke: "A blessed land has a land spirit, a grotto-heaven has a heavenly spirit, while Dragon Court has — Dragon Spirit."

"Dragon Court? But isn't this Immortal Gu House Dragon Palace? Also, why are you calling master?" Bai Ning Bing naturally knew of Dragon Palace so she felt very puzzled.

Dragon Spirit laughed: "Back then, dragonman Gu Immortals created Dragon Court but Duke Long did not allow it and changed its na to Dragon Palace. As for acknowledging you as master, it is my only choice now. Because you are a dragonman who had escaped fate and is opposing Heavenly Court, you are the only candidate suitable to be my master currently."

"Master, I have been waiting for you. Duke Long does not know about my existence, I have been hiding and making him have the false impression that he had successfully refined Dragon Court. Heavenly Court is too powerful, I implore master to make a move to solve this present danger. In the future, we will lead the dragonman race to follow the decree of heaven, we will defeat the human race and make dragonn the rulers of this world."

"What do you an?" Bai Ning Bing frowned, feeling inconceivable: "I am only a rank seven Gu Immortal, even if I have future self, I do not have rank eight battle strength. Let alone in the current situation, even rank eight Gu Immortals are unable to resolve this predicant."

"Master, you need to have confidence. Fate Gu had shown the revelation long ago, humanity will fall and dragonn will reign supre. Our dragonman race will be the next leaders of this world and us dragonn are destined to expel humanity and unite the world. That scoundrel Duke Long is not worthy of being the dragonman ancestor, he is our race's biggest traitor."

2"Dragon Court's power has not been displayed fully because it lacked a true master. Of course, Dragon Court is only a rank eight Immortal Gu House right now, even if it uses all its might, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough. So I request master to subdue Di Zang Sheng!"

Bai Ning Bing was surprised: "Di Zang Sheng can be subdued by ?"

Dragon Spirit gave a confident smile: "Master, you don't need to be excessively humble. Dragonn will reign supre, the divine beast shall pave the path for us. Di Zang Sheng was created by the Heavenly Dao, it has innate hatred towards the human race, it is actually our dragonman race's divine beast. Dragon Court was unable to subdue it because it was only an Immortal Gu House and lacked a true master. But with you, all the conditions have been fulfilled."

Bai Ning Bing blinked her eyes repeatedly, coming to her senses only after a long while.

She had many doubts, for example the statent that dragonn would reign supre, wasn't it humanity who would reign supre? If fate Gu decreed that, why would Heavenly Court still try everything in their power to repair fate Gu?

1Bai Ning Bing suppressed all the doubts in her mind as excitent erged in her heart.

"Hehehe, this is really interesting."

"I never thought that right before my death, there would be such a twist of events."

"Heavenly Court still seems to contain many secrets..."

"Although I was a human, I transford into a dragonman using a special thod. But leading the dragonman race to rise and overturn humanity's rule... this matter truly makes my heart pound when I think about it."

1"It is interesting to resist Heavenly Court, but it is even more exciting to lead the rise of the dragonman race!"

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting!"

Bai Ning Bing's eyes shined brightly as she laughed heartily and said to Dragon Spirit: "No matter what you are or what plans you have, I don't care. Anyway, if you had not saved , I would have already died. Your goal is truly interesting, I accept it! What should I do?"

Bai Ning Bing was different from others, she was a true demon and based her decisions on what she liked. She did whatever felt more exciting to her.

The so-called human identity would never bind her.

Lu Wei Yin had betrayed Southern Border while she had betrayed humanity itself!

Dragon Spirit was exulted: "Master, with you making a move, Di Zang Sheng's allegiance is an easy matter."

Dragon Spirit was so excited that his tears fell: "This is great! I had almost given up in despair, but master, your appearance ans that my wait was not in vain!"

"The current heaven's will has been influenced by Star Constellation's will, which changed the revelation of fate Gu. But this doesn't matter, a large number of hibernating Gu Immortals have died in Heavenly Court, Star Constellation's will has lost her reinforcents, the will of the Heavenly Dao has started to suppress her. The fact that you appeared here proves this."

1"Now, we will first subdue Di Zang Sheng and fight our way back to the battlefield. Be it Heavenly Court or the Southern Northern allied forces, they are at conflict with each other. Although I wish that they would all die, this is an extrely rare opportunity to seize fate Gu."

"As long as we co into contact with fate Gu, the revelation of dragonman supremacy will appear and we can imitate what Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable did back then, with this banner in our hands, we will change the hearts of people, the dragonman race's rise will be unstoppable!"

-x-X-x-

Even Heaven Overseeing Tower with rank nine fate Gu was unable to stop the invasion of the dream path killer move.

Dragon Palace was a rank eight Immortal Gu House with rank eight Immortal Gu Dream Token. The rank eight dream path killer move that was created from this was probably the number one dream path killer move in the present world.

1As the saying went, one skill to dominate the world.

Heaven Overseeing Tower did not have any dream path defensive thods, thus Dragon Spirit's action imdiately showed effect!

"If this goes on, Heaven Overseeing Tower will no longer exist!"

"This move is not just pure erosion using the dream realm, it is a dream path killer move and Heavenly Court can't do anything to it even with pure dream reality seeker transformation!"

In an instant, Yao Huang and the rest saw the hope of victory.

"Who could have thought that at this final juncture, it would be Bai Ning Bing who would turn the situation around!"

"We have to hold on!"

"Everyone, defend Dragon Palace!"

The Southern and Northern immortals actively cooperated. Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals were pale in shock, their confident expressions were non-existent as they began to attack nervously.

"Sothing is wrong!" Fang Yuan had been paying attention to Duke Long and quickly realized sothing wrong.

Duke Long, who was entangled with Di Zang Sheng, was not panicking at all, his expression was calm and his gaze even showed a trace of nostalgia.

Over a million years ago...

In the depths of Heavenly Court.

"Hong Ting, you still dare to co to Heavenly Court, you will not be able to escape anymore! The secret of your rebirth has already been exposed, you actually dared to go against fate and defy heaven's will to attempt to resurrect dead people, you have truly disappointed !" Duke Long looked at Red Lotus, his expression was dark and his gaze was burning with fury.

Red Lotus Demon Venerable smiled: "Master, since I have co here, I have already resolved myself to die, furthermore, I am not here to destroy fate Gu, so you don't have to be so anxious, master."

"Oh? Then what are you trying to do?"

Red Lotus Demon Venerable took a deep glance at Duke Long: "I want to persuade master to help destroy fate Gu!"

Duke Long was stunned before laughing loudly, he then slowly stopped laughing and looked at Red Lotus with his unfathomable dragon pupils: "Then tell , master will listen properly."

Red Lotus smiled: "Having been reborn tens of thousands of tis, I found clues by chance and used more than ten rebirths to understand them clearly. Fate Gu has already abandoned humanity, its current revelation have four words..."

2He had yet to finish speaking when Duke Long finished his sentence: "Dragonn will reign supre."

Red Lotus was dazed before laughing: "Master, you knew about it indeed! Are you protecting fate Gu to ensure the rise of the dragonman race? After all, the biggest group of dragonn in existence currently are your own bloodline descendants."

"Of course not!" Duke Long shook his head and said in a deep voice: " Hong Ting, you don't know the whole situation. Master was the first to discover the secret of dragonman supremacy and was also the first to report it. Although I turned myself into a dragonman and beca the dragonman ancestor, my true heart has always been on humanity's side! Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth."

"I believe you!" Red Lotus showed no hesitation: "I believe in master's heart. Oh master, the extent to which you understand is also how much I understand you. You will never betray humanity for your own self-interest. Just then, I was afraid you would deny my words and was intentionally agitating you."

"Hmph, little brat." Duke Long snorted, but a gratified emotion rose in his heart as he continued: "Master created the dragonman lifespan extension thod so I could continue teaching you, to help you lead Heavenly Court and the whole of the human race, but I had never imagined fate Gu would give a revelation of dragonman supremacy."

"However, after the initial shock and fright, master gradually realized that fate Gu is a heaven path Gu worm, the way of heaven always takes away surpluses while replenishing deficits. Humanity has prospered, uniting the five regions and two heavens, we are flourishing much more than the variant human races of the past, this will naturally cause the Heavenly Dao to take away surpluses while replenishing deficits. This is the sa situation as when Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable obtained fate Gu and caused humanity to reign supre."

"However, master still continues to defend fate Gu, do you know why?"

Red Lotus's eyes shined with bright light as he asked: "Why?"

Duke Long heaved a deep sigh: "Actually, fate Gu's hidden threat was already raised by Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable in his era. Humanity was united because of fate Gu. Almost all the humans gained the courage to resist the variant human races after learning who heaven sided with. However, once the fate of humans being supre vanishes, what will the humans do then?"

"This was no doubt a huge threat and this issue was not resolved even after Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable passed away. On his deathbed, he handed this heavy responsibility to his disciple. This disciple was the future Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, when her lifespan was near its end, she finally thought of a way to resolve this hidden crisis. That was assimilating with the Dao."

Red Lotus frowned: "Assimilating with the Dao?"

"Indeed." Duke Long continued to explain: "Fate Gu can only be controlled directly by the Heavenly Dao, human or variant human Gu Immortals can at most observe a thing or two and obtain so revelations. Maybe in the future, with the developnt of new paths that contest against each other, there may be a way to use fate Gu, but it is impossible for now."

"Star Constellation Immortal Venerable thought: Since she could not do anything to fate Gu, she might as well target the source itself! Thus, she sacrificed herself and by assimilating with the Dao, she used her own will to participate in the operations of the Heavenly Dao, interfering and influencing heaven's will. Because heaven's will was influenced, fate Gu could be grasped by Heavenly Court indefinitely."

"So that's what happened!" Red Lotus Demon Venerable's heart shook as he ca to a realization: "Fate Gu's web is called all-encompassing web. Everything in the world is bound by this web, to be arranged and controlled by Fate. Star Constellation Immortal Venerable directly manipulated heaven's will and is thus able to influence fate Gu, making humanity reign supre forever."

1"No wonder fate Gu is so important to Heavenly Court. No wonder Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's arrangents could stop three Demon Venerables including myself. No wonder Heavenly Court has stood undefeated, becoming the sacred land of humanity and the number one super force in the world!"

Duke Long nodded: "Hong Ting, your intelligence has never disappointed master. The trend of the world is that there will be unification after prolonged division and division after prolonged unification. Have you seen any super force that could last forever? Looking at ourselves, people's hearts are easy to change, they are filled with desires which can hardly be satisfied. Even stronger forces or familial fetters cannot fill the deficiencies of the human heart. Looking at external issues, if a powerful Gu Immortal is offended, it will usually result in the super force facing huge problems. If this Gu Immortal cultivated to rank eight, they quite likely could even completely exterminate a super force. In this world, individual strength can easily surpass a group."

"There will rarely be a super force that can last for a great number of years. But our Heavenly Court is an exception, why is it? Because we have fate Gu."

"Under the arrangents of fate, we have always been the sacred land of humanity, our internal affairs have always been harmonious, even if there are conflicts, they will be smoothly resolved through all kinds of coincidences and fated encounters. Our enemies usually cannot grow completely, even if there are rank eight enemies, they would gradually decline, and there won't even be a need for Heavenly Court to make a move personally before the enemies die or even surrender because of all kinds of events."

"All these miracles were brought about through Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's sacrifice. Without her rank nine wisdom path cultivation, there is simply no way to interfere and alter the operations of the Heavenly Dao. However, even if it was Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, her will was often disadvantaged when contesting against heaven's will."

Red Lotus realized: "Like the revelation of dragonman supremacy?"

"Yes. I was also shocked back then. But when I knew of this ancient secret, I chose to wait. Sure enough, not long later, fate Gu's revelation changed once again, 'dragonn will reign supre' vanished, it went back to 'humanity will reign supre'." Duke Long smiled: "Later, I went through Heavenly Court's secret records and discovered such cases had occurred many tis. Dragonn will reign supre is only the most recent one. The revelation of dragonn reigning supre is not reliable."

Red Lotus's heart sank continuously.

Since his master Duke Long already knew of this, then why did he listen to his questions?

He suddenly realized: It was not him who had infiltrated Heavenly Court, but Duke Long who had been waiting for him, waiting for him to make inquiries and then tell him Heavenly Court's ancient secret.

Red Lotus stopped thinking about it as he looked at Duke Long.

Duke Long smiled: "Hong Ting, master waited for you to tell you this and make you repent. You created Spring Autumn Cicada and can rebirth, this is truly a demonic behavior. It looks like you have hope of changing the past, but do you really?"

"No." Duke Long shook his head and said in a resolute tone.

"Because above you, there is heaven, there is the Heavenly Dao, there is Star Constellation's will, there is fate Gu's revelation. How can you overturn heaven? How can you change the past?"

"So what if you have the strength of a rank nine Demon Venerable? Limitless and Reckless Savage are the best examples. How long can a venerable live? The longest living one was Lord Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable but it was still only twenty-five thousand years. And Heavenly Court? It has millions of years of history and accumulations. It has the sacrifice and protection of more than one Immortal Venerable. It has fate Gu. This is the big picture, can you topple such a deep foundation? Especially since you have been reborn, you are only using future self to gain rank nine battle strength. You are not yet a true rank nine venerable."

Red Lotus was silent.

Even the powerful him felt constant helplessness against Heavenly Court.

He could destroy Heavenly Court, but what use would that be?

As long as fate Gu existed, Heavenly Court could be easily recreated. And because Star Constellation's will was influencing heaven's will, fate Gu would always decree that humanity reign supre, Heavenly Court would also be the sacred land of humanity and would always be the number one force.

Under fate's control, all sorts of fortuitous encounters would be arranged and countless talents would actively side with or surrender to Heavenly Court.

Heavenly Court was not the crucial point, Star Constellation's will and fate Gu were the most important elents.

Star Constellation's will...

First of all, Red Lotus was not a wisdom path rank nine, he had no thods to deal with Star Constellation's will which had assimilated with the Dao.

Secondly, he did not want to deal with Star Constellation's will. After all, Star Constellation's will interfered with heaven's will and protected the status of the human race, making humanity prosper eternally.

Red Lotus only wanted to revive his family and loved ones, he never wanted to betray or harm his own race.

So, there was only one answer left for Red Lotus Demon Venerable, that was to destroy fate Gu!

-x-X-x-

Destroying fate Gu would be harmful to humanity, but the five regions' situation would still remain the sa because of Star Constellation's will.

Without fate Gu, neither Heavenly Court nor the Heavenly Dao would be able to use it.

In a situation where both sides were equal, the humans would have a huge advantage, why would they watch as other races got stronger?

But Red Lotus was not an otherworldly demon, how would he be able to destroy fate Gu completely?

Even after being reborn countless tis, Red Lotus could not find a thod which could destroy fate Gu completely. Thus in this rebirth, he ca to persuade Duke Long to make him co over to his side and work together.

But who could have expected Heavenly Court to have this kind of secret, Red Lotus' plan failed.

Experience was still the deciding factor.

Red Lotus wanted to persuade Duke Long and Duke Long was also waiting for this chance to persuade his favored disciple.

"Hong Ting, stop now." Duke Long spoke earnestly: "I said all this so that you will co back. The righteous path is not only about glory and reputation, it is often accompanied by sacrifices. For humanity, for Heavenly Court, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable sacrificed herself! And you? Your parents and wife died in order to pave the road to Immortal Venerable for you. Their sacrifices were necessary and valuable. Do you still not understand it? Hong Ting! Stop this now!"

"No, I won't stop." Red Lotus's gaze was firm: "Forgive , master, I have disappointed you again and again. But this is the path that I want to walk on."

Duke Long shook his head with a bitter expression and said: "I am not disappointed, I would be suspicious if you agreed instead. I know your will cannot be shaken easily, this was already within my estimation. So now, let your master use himself as an example to teach you."

"What do you an?"

Just as Red Lotus was confused, Duke Long activated an arrangent he had already prepared.

Immortal killer move — Dragonman Extermination!

Red Lotus's bewildered expression was soon replaced by shock when he sensed this killer move's nature and effect.

Red Lotus shouted in shock: "Master, you actually killed all the dragonn in the world?! Your children and grandchildren are among them. If I recall correctly, all your children and bloodline descendants should have already turned into dragonn!"

2"That's right." Duke Long's body trembled, his voice was slightly shaky: "I am the ancestor of dragonn, the first dragonman in the world. When I had created the thod of dragonman transformation, I had already made this arrangent which allows to use my identity as the ancestor to easily eliminate all other dragonn."

"When the dragonn reign supre revelation appeared, I had thought of using this thod. At that ti, however, Star Constellation's will manifested and instructed to let the dragonn live for the ti being and use them in the future."

"I hesitated again and again. Hong Ting, you have also seen my children, grandchildren, and descendants. It was the greatest happiness for to enjoy my old age with my grandchildren and family. Sigh, I am already old."

"Master..." Red Lotus wanted to speak but stopped, not knowing what to say to comfort Duke Long.

Duke Long's eyes reddened and were filled with tears, Red Lotus had never seen this side of Duke Long.

He said while choking with tears: "I understand it clearly, even without the dragonn reign supre revelation, the dragonman race will always be a hidden threat to Heavenly Court and the human race. Because the dragonman race is different from the other variant human races, it was created by , the mbers were originally human. It is like a bloodsucking leech that has attached itself to humanity, strengthening itself while sucking on the blood of humans."

"The dragonman lifespan extension thod is only secondary to lifespan Gu for extending life, lifespan Gu are few, but how many billions of people want to extend their lifespan? The dragonman population will continue to increase while humans will beco fewer and fewer."

"More terrifyingly, dragonn are born from humans, naturally lowering the vigilance of humans. And with my reputation and the protection of being a venerable's master, who can suppress or disturb the dragonn?"

"If this goes on, the dragonn will suppress humanity soday in the future. If a mishap happens again and fate Gu reveals the revelation of dragonn reigning supre again, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Duke Long then looked deeply at Red Lotus: "When you entered Heavenly Court this ti and tried to persuade , I suddenly realized that this was the timing that Star Constellation's will predicted. The dragonman race should not exist, but its extermination also needs to have value. This value is to persuade you, my disciple Hong Ting! Master wants to teach you the spirit of sacrifice, I will show you the spirit of the righteous path of humanity!"

Red Lotus: "Master..."

Duke Long's body shook as he could not hold back his tears any longer.

He had personally killed his children and descendants, his heart was filled with sorrow and pain like it had been cut by a knife, but there was not even a trace of regret.

His voice suddenly rose as he shouted towards Red Lotus: "Hong Ting, my disciple! Your path is a dead end, you cannot win against Heavenly Court!"

"Because Heavenly Court's power is not just its superficial foundation or even fate Gu."

"Its power cos from the generations of Gu Immortals who do not hesitate to sacrifice themselves! They protect humanity and righteousness with each generation carrying on this will and moving forward!"

"Without these sacrifices, humanity might still be trampled and enslaved by the variant human races, we would not have such a good life like now."

"Hong Ting, master taught you, Heavenly Court cultivated you, what you enjoyed were the fruits of the dedication and sacrifice of our predecessors from ancient tis until now!"

"So, co back, Hong Ting!"

"Follow the arrangents of Fate."

1Red Lotus: "..."

...

Infallible blessed land battlefield.

Duke Long's mory passed by in an instant, his gaze regaining its sharpness once again.

He looked at the distant Dragon Palace and sneered: "Such a pity! Dragon Spirit, your existence was already deduced by Fairy Zi Wei. We are only playing you at your own ga."

At the next mont, he activated an immortal killer move.

He had once used this immortal killer move to persuade Red Lotus but it did not succeed.

But now, it was more than enough to kill Bai Ning Bing!

Immortal killer move — Dragonman Extermination!

In an instant, Bai Ning Bing's body shook violently, her heart felt like it was clenched by soone as she fell on the ground while coughing large mouthfuls of blood.

Dragon Spirit cried out in shock: "What happened?!"

It did not know the secret of the past.

In truth, it had only taken birth long after the dragonman race was exterminated by Duke Long.

Under Dragon Spirit's frightened gaze, Bai Ning Bing quickly died, her corpse that was gradually losing heat was lying in the large Dragon Palace.

3Heavenly Court.

Fairy Zi Wei walked out of the large formation that was imprisoning Spectral Soul.

Heavenly Court's battlefield was not cleared up yet, Fairy Zi Wei ca to Spectral Soul's prison to give a quick check.

"I worried too much. Even if Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was savage and powerful, the current Spectral Soul is only a remnant soul with no Gu worms or immortal essence, how can it do anything? Let alone escaping this imprisonnt."

"Oh? Dragon Spirit is also exposed, everything is going according to plan." Fairy Zi Wei smiled when she observed this.

She had deduced Dragon Spirit's existence as she had doubts about it, an ownerless Dragon Palace was actually able to capture the Four Dragon Generals, it was extraordinary.

After she deduced Dragon Spirit's existence, when Dragon Spirit tried to hoodwink Duke Long and create a false impression that Duke Long had refined Dragon Palace, Heavenly Court was aware of it.

Duke Long consulted Fairy Zi Wei, Fairy Zi Wei played Dragon Spirit at its own ga, laying a trap that was Hidden Dragon Cave.

This trap not only targeted the Eastern Sea Gu Immortals, it also was a plot against Dragon Spirit and Di Zang Sheng.

Without such a strategy, how would Fairy Zi Wei dare to use the killer move everybody's vision and broadcast the battle in Infallible blessed land everywhere?

Fairy Zi Wei entered an Immortal Gu House which held benevolence Gu.

She thought to herself: "Now, it is ti to deal with Fang Yuan's Spring Autumn Cicada."

1Infallible blessed land battlefield.

Boom!

Dragon Palace was sent flying away while Dragon Spirit scread in panic.

The dream path offensive killer move was broken, Heaven Overseeing Tower was restored back to its previous state and turned back to solid form. The Heavenly Court Gu Immortals inside the tower laughed heartily, their plan to bait the enemy was a great success.

"Damn it, so this was all Heavenly Court's sche, the battle had never left their control!" Fang Yuan's expression was heavy as he admitted: "We have lost this battle!"

Bing Sai Chuan realized this as well but he still sent Gu Immortals to attack Heaven Overseeing Tower.

Heaven Overseeing Tower retreated extrely quickly, making the Southern and Northern immortals feel even more despair.

"Ti to retreat!" Fang Yuan's gaze turned, he had a rank eight killer move that used Fixed Immortal Travel as the core which could give him the chance to leave if used properly.

However, at this ti, a group of Heavenly Court Gu Immortals with Lu Wei Yin at the lead surrounded Fang Yuan and the rest.

Fang Yuan's side was like a cornered beast that counterattacked wildly.

Lu Wei Yin saw the situation and used an immortal killer move, eight points sanctum.

This move was a defensive killer move, it not only protected the user, it could also affect others.

Eight points sanctum instantly ford a sand sphere that covered the Gu Immortals and blocked every immortal killer move.

It even blocked Calamity Luck Altar's killer moves.

Everyone, both enemies and allies, was astonished. Lu Wei Yin's strength had far surpassed their expectations.

Lu Wei Yin's display completely threw the Southern and Northern immortals into the abyss of despair.

On the other side, Duke Long got free from Di Zang Sheng and charged towards Dragon Palace.

Di Zang Sheng wanted to chase him but was held back by Heaven Overseeing Tower and other Immortal Gu Houses.

"Duke Long, the greatest traitor of our people!" Dragon Spirit scread as it hid in the depths of Dragon Palace.

Duke Long would not be able to find it within a short period of ti. He poured in his immortal essence without any regard for the expenditure, forcibly refining Dragon Palace once again.

He laughed: "I have to thank you for resolving this troubleso Di Zang Sheng for us. Now, as long as I gain complete control of Dragon Palace, Di Zang Sheng will also submit to , Heavenly Court will obtain the strongest immorial desolate beast in history!"

Dragon Spirit shouted in anger, cursing Duke Long for being despicable and sinister while using all its effort to block Duke Long's forceful refinent as it hurriedly called for Di Zang Sheng.

Di Zang Sheng roared repeatedly and attempted to break away from the obstruction.

Heavenly Court's defensive line was on the verge of breaking, but at the crucial mont, Heaven Overseeing Tower displayed its might again, activating fate vanquish.

Di Zang Sheng bore the full brunt of the killer move and was suppressed fiercely.

Over half of the Gu Immortals on Fang Yuan's side were instantly killed by fate vanquish.

The rank nine killer move's power was truly too terrifying.

Only Fang Yuan alone was immune to fate vanquish's power.

"Fang Yuan, don't think you will survive."

"You cannot escape."

"These immortal killer moves were specially prepared for you! Have a taste."

Close to ten rank eight Gu Immortals surrounded Fang Yuan and a large amount of killer moves assaulted him from all directions, making it difficult for him to use Gu worms at the mont.

"Trying to target my Spring Autumn Cicada? Damn it!" Fang Yuan clenched his teeth as he exerted all his efforts in trying to activate his killer moves.

He did not hesitate to expend his dao marks, myriad sword ghost dragons flew out but were suppressed by Heavenly Court Gu Immortals let alone breaking past the defensive line.

Suddenly, a dragon roar resounded throughout the battlefield, Di Zang Sheng's enormous head collided into the encirclent that surrounded Fang Yuan.

This legendary immorial desolate beast was also in a hurry, it disregarded everything and endured countless killer moves to go reinforce Dragon Palace.

"Hahaha, too late!" Duke Long laughed loudly, he had already refined Dragon Palace for most part and was about to grasp Dragon Spirit as well.

Dragon Spirit shouted: "Even if I die, I won't let you have your wish!"

Boom!

Dragon Palace self-detonated, countless fragnts shot everywhere; the majestic Dragon Palace only had a small foundational floor and several pillars left.

"This is the ti!" Taking advantage of this chaos, Fang Yuan finally got free from so obstacles and his clone activated an immortal killer move — Spring Autumn Success!

"The demon wants to counterattack, I will protect you all." Lu Wei Yin shouted while activating eight points sanctum again, protecting countless Gu Immortals.

"Now is the ti!" At the exact sa mont, Fairy Zi Wei quickly activated an immortal killer move — Benevolent Equality!

Duke Long directly tore the eight points sanctum that was protecting him and carried the remnant Dragon Palace while charging towards Fang Yuan.

He ran into Di Zang Sheng on the way but Di Zang Sheng actually lowered its head and showed submission!

"Fang Yuan, you should also go and die." Duke Long appeared before Fang Yuan like he had teleported.

At the mont of life and death, Fang Yuan quickly activated every killer move he could, but they were all blocked or restrained by the other Heavenly Court Gu Immortals.

Bam.

A muffled sound echoed, he was directly hit by Duke Long, his blood, flesh and bone fragnts splattered everywhere as his soul dissipated completely.

He was dead.

Fang Yuan was dead, the final hope was also gone.

4Bing Sai Chuan and the rest were like defeated soldiers as they stood dazed on the spot.

So took the initiative to surrender, while Bing Sai Chuan and so others gave a loud shout and attacked Duke Long.

Duke Long sneered as he grabbed and punched, killing Bing Sai Chuan and the rest.

After a while, there were either dead or surrendered Southern and Northern immortals; this long war had finally ended.

"We won!"

"Heavenly Court is mighty, Duke Long is mighty!"

Many immortals rejoiced and Central Continent was even filled with cheers and scenes of jubilation.

Duke Long swept his gaze around calmly before fixing it on Lu Wei Yin.

Lu Wei Yin bowed: "What instructions does Lord Duke Long have?"

Duke Long chuckled, saying with a deep aning: "We owe you for lending benevolence Gu and siding with us in this battle, Heavenly Court won't stint on your rewards."

Lu Wei Yin quickly thanked him.

1Duke Long secretly transmitted to Fairy Zi Wei: "Did that killer move work?"

Fairy Zi Wei: "Yes, do we attack Lu Wei Yin now?"

Duke Long secretly replied: "Leave him be. If we harm him, who will dare to side with us later? That killer move is only an insurance, whether Fang Yuan rebirths or not, as long as I am around, what harm is there in repeating this again?"

Duke Long took a heavy breath and said: "Our plan has finally been achieved."

Fairy Zi Wei's voice was choking with emotions: "That's right, using the plan of repairing fate Gu, we lured the other four regions to invade and stimulated Central Continent's people to have a common hatred for the enemy and eliminated internal spies. The great era is coming, our Central Continent is united, our Heavenly Court's commands will be obeyed and implented sincerely."

She knew Duke Long was about to die.

Duke Long laughed heartily, he did not care about his death as he encouraged Fairy Zi Wei: "With you here, I can rest at ease."

Wisdom path Gu Immortals would not fight on the front lines, they were more useful when making plans for the big picture.

"Master!" Right at this ti, under Feng Jiu Ge's protection, Feng Jin Huang arrived before Duke Long and wept.

She also knew this was the final mont of Duke Long's life.

Duke Long stroked Feng Jin Huang's head and said: "People have to die one day, fallen leaves return to their roots, how can a new generation erge without the departure of the old? Disciple, don't be sad."

At the sa ti, Duke Long secretly transmitted his voice and instructed: "Oh Huang Er, beco an Immortal Venerable and lead Heavenly Court towards the peak. Our Central Continent is right in between the other four regions and it has no geographical advantage. But we have our own superiority, we possess the sect system which is long lasting. Previously, even with Central Continent's ten great ancient sects, we could only barely stabilize and maintain the situation. Countless sects, lone and demonic immortals were dissatisfied towards my Heavenly Court occupying so many cultivation resources."

"But after this battle, there are no internal threats left, the people's hearts have changed, their will have rged and they want to take revenge. Heavenly Court is the place where the hearts of the people will be entrusted to. In terms of favorable condition, geographical advantage, and unity, Heavenly Court has existed for millions of years and possesses fate Gu, we already have favorable conditions. After this battle, we also have the strongest unity among the five regions. Go conquer them and unite humanity! Establish an unprecedented supremacy that will last for all eternity!"

"Master can only do this much for you."

After saying this, Duke Long looked longingly towards the horizon.

The setting sun dyed the clouds red in the horizon.

The dying sunlight shone on Duke Long's body.

His dragon horns were broken but it made them look even more malevolent and domineering.

His shining dragon eyes still had battle intent in them.

His scales were scarred and broken, blood dyed them red, his dragon claws had taken the lives of countless rank eights.

The Heavenly Court immortals surrounded him in the air, looking at him silently.

No one spoke.

Di Zang Sheng lowered its head, unmoving like a giant statue.

Earth shook as it produced waves of deep, rumbling noises.

At this mont, the regional walls that separated the five regions had completely disappeared. The earth veins were connected as the five separate regions rged into one!

Without the obstruction of the regional walls, people could freely move through the five regions with no obstructions. At the sa ti, the differences in heaven and earth qi also disappeared gradually.

Duke Long smiled, saying with anticipation for the future —

"Ah... The great era has arrived."

This was his final sentence.

He closed his eyes slowly.

Heavenly dragon's last stand, his ti was up.

Like this setting sun, the legend of a generation had passed away!

But his invincible figure was deeply imprinted in the eyes of the countless people of Central Continent.

His sacrifices and contributions were like a spiritual fire that burned in the hearts of countless people!

Duke Long, Duke Long!

-x-X-x-

Surrounded by pitch-black space, there was a boundless river.

It was flowing fast without stopping, its start and end could not be seen.

Secluded Domain of Heaven and Earth — River of Ti!

Water of the River of Ti was pale white and colorless, but countless ripples were colliding and creating beautiful colors at all tis.

Every ripple was a story, an event that occurred in the past.

Innurable droplets of water splashed and collided, the whole River of Ti was like a river of fireworks that shined with dazzling and brilliant lights.

A small Gu worm appeared which was covered in an erald-green light, it dove into the water of the River of Ti.

This Gu worm's head and stomach were brown and yellow, there were tree bark rings like marks on its surface which seed to be a testant to its long life and dignity.

The wings on its back were huge, they were translucent and resembled two overlapping tree leaves.

The small Gu worm was inconspicuous in the large River of Ti, it was smaller than an ant.

After the Gu worm dove into the water, it displayed great determination as it went against the flow, moving upstream.

...

Treasure yellow heaven.

There was a commotion, Gu Immortals were discussing with each other.

This commotion was caused by three rib bones along with a video of a battle.

1"Unimaginable, this demon Fang Yuan already has such battle strength!"

"Sigh, his growth is too fast, he is already a demonic path overlord of this generation."

"Fang Yuan is an otherworldly demon, and has used Spring Autumn Cicada to rebirth, he naturally has an enormous advantage in cultivation."

"I recognize her, this is Heavenly Court's Gu Immortal Thunder Ghost True Monarch, who could have thought she would actually be suppressed by Fang Yuan!"

"Thunder Ghost True Monarch Jing Lan, this is an old senior, she is still alive?"

"So much for Central Continent's Heavenly Court being regarded as the number one human force. They have been trying to capture Fang Yuan all along, and even sent a rank eight Gu Immortal, but look at this, Fang Yuan actually beat her up so miserably."

Inside Heavenly Court, Chen Yi's expression looked unsightly and Fairy Zi Wei's body trembled from anger.

"Fang Yuan, this scoundrel is simply too sly!" Fairy Zi Wei said with gritted teeth. This was because the video in treasure yellow heaven only contained the part where Fang Yuan successfully counterattacked and pumled Jing Lan.

Chen Yi asked with a frown: "Lady Zi Wei, do we report this to Thunder Ghost True Monarch?"

Thunder Ghost True Monarch Jing Lan was the most recently awakened expert of Heavenly Court.

1Jing Lan chased after Fang Yuan but a mont of carelessness led to her being counterattacked by Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan used myriad dragons and directional confusion fog to delay her while he entered the depths of the regional wall.

When Jing Lan chased after him again, Fang Yuan was already far away from her.

Fairy Zi Wei could not deduce Fang Yuan's exact location so Jing Lan had lost her way in the regional wall.

"Zi Wei! Where is that demon Fang Yuan?" Jing Lan transmitted her voice, she was burning with rage so her tone was very blunt.

What should have been an easy prey actually caused her to land in such an extrely miserable situation with serious injuries, how could the proud Jing Lan accept this fact?

She gritted her teeth, desperately wanting to kill Fang Yuan and erase her sha!

Fairy Zi Wei was silent for a mont before slowly informing Jing Lan.

"What? Even you lost him?!" Jing Lan was furious and discontented.

"Fang Yuan's wisdom path attainnt is already no longer the sa as before. But he will go to Lang Ya blessed land no matter what. We have already made so arrangents there. Although we failed to capture this scoundrel, we have also made huge gains, not only did we waste a large amount of his immortal essence, we also forced him to reveal many trump cards. How could a Gu Immortal like him be dealt with in one battle?" Fairy Zi Wei gently persuaded Jing Lan.

Jing Lan was silent, standing on the spot.

After a while, she heaved a long sigh, her anger had dissipated.

"I underestimated him, this person is astonishingly talented, he is indeed worthy of being the person chosen by heaven's will and Shadow Sect. Next ti we fight, I won't make the sa mistake."

"Compared to Fang Yuan, there is an even more troubleso matter..." Fairy Zi Wei tactfully inford Jing Lan of the matter in treasure yellow heaven.

The calm mood Jing Lan had just regained was imdiately overthrown by waves of anger: "What? This guy actually dared to sell my rib bones? Outrageous, simply outrageous!"

Jing Lan imdiately connected to treasure yellow heaven, and sure enough, saw her own rib bones being put for sale. Anger surged to her head, and her eyes turned bloodshot.

Soon after, when Jing Lan saw the projection of the scenes where Fang Yuan pumled her, she almost crushed her teeth: "Damn that guy... when he ends up in my hands later, I will tear off his skin, pull out his tendons, and grind his bones till they turn to dust!"

1Fang Yuan retreated while paying close attention to treasure yellow heaven.

He sneered inwardly.

Although he lost the battle against Jing Lan, being able to achieve such a battle result against a rank eight with his rank seven cultivation was truly a glorious loss.

Three rib bones and that video were actually Fang Yuan's glorious flaunting of his battle strength!

"Victory or defeat is secondary in a battle, the more important thing are the gains and losses. Although I lost this battle, the things I gained are what I need."

Fang Yuan had tried to regain his upper extre heavenly eagle but was obstructed by Lu Wei Yin.

Feng Jiu Ge had invaded Lang Ya blessed land and discovered wisdom Gu, he even took away Gu Yue Fang Zheng and Dang Hun Mountain.

Fang Yuan detonated Dang Hun Mountain, causing Thunder Ghost True Monarch to awaken. At the sa ti, Chen Yi's karma divine tree could display its ability, which Fairy Zi Wei used to deduce his location.

Thunder Ghost True Monarch thus accurately ambushed Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan was able to escape due to all kinds of factors.

"Heavenly Court discovered and invaded Lang Ya blessed land, they will absolutely attack again. Lang Ya blessed land is extrely important to , I cannot lose it."

1"I must gather every force that can be used to fight Heavenly Court's next invasion. The four races alliance can be used!"

"My reputation has increased greatly after this battle, I will have even more power to express my opinion in the four races alliance and even be regarded as the hope of fighting rank eight by these variant human Gu Immortals."

While escaping quickly, there were Gu Immortals in treasure yellow heaven who inquired about the price of Thunder Ghost True Monarch's rib bones.

But why would Fang Yuan sell them?

This was the best opportunity to damage Heavenly Court's reputation and it was the opportunity for him to raise his own reputation. He was not going to be greedy over so profits and sell these three rib bones away.

"I must grab every opportunity to damage and weaken Heavenly Court's prestige, while also raising other Gu Immortals' courage. When the crucial mont cos in the future, there will be even more Gu Immortals who will dare to oppose Heavenly Court."

"Furthermore, would there not be Heavenly Court's mbers among these buyers? There must be. There is even a huge possibility of Thunder Ghost True Monarch being among them. Hehehehe."

Fang Yuan chuckled.

He was being optimistic in these tough tis but his mood was still heavy.

Heavenly Court had discovered Lang Ya blessed land, who knew when they would attack again, this made Lang Ya blessed land a dangerous place.

Once Lang Ya blessed land's defense failed, it would be a heavy blow to Fang Yuan.

Since long ago, Fang Yuan had been deepening his cooperation with Lang Ya Sect and had received huge help at many crucial tis. Lang Ya blessed land could be considered an imnse support to him.

But it was not easy to resist Heavenly Court.

With just him, Lang Ya blessed land and the four races alliance, was there really hope?

"It is not the ti to give up yet!"

"When I return to Lang Ya blessed land, I will absorb the Long Hair true aning. Even if Lang Ya blessed land's defense fails, I will try to extract every possible benefit from Lang Ya Sect."

Just as he was thinking of this, Fang Yuan's body suddenly shook and an imnsely shocked expression appeared on his face.

He was a demonic overlord who wore a constant poker face and was extrely shrewd, why would he turn so pale?

Just a mont ago, Fang Yuan's clone had told him extrely valuable information.

"My clone was reborn?"

"Spring Autumn Cicada brought the will of my future clone and returned to my ti path clone."

"So my attempt had failed and Heavenly Court still managed to repair fate Gu completely!"

Fang Yuan's expression soon cald down and the raging waves in his heart were also quickly pacified.

Fang Yuan's gaze was deep and dark like the abyss.

When he gave Spring Autumn Cicada to his ti path clone, he had expected a possibility of such a situation. So he was able to quickly accept this fact.

Heavenly Court's strength made him feel like he was pressed down by an entire mountain range!

"But isn't this more interesting?" Fang Yuan's eyes revealed a smile, but it was filled with coldness and mania.

Fear?

What was that?

Even if he failed ten thousand tis, a million tis, or hundreds of billions of tis, as long as there was a chance, Fang Yuan would never give up!

-x-X-x-

Lang Ya blessed land.

A large group of variant human Gu Immortals were waiting in front of teleportation Gu formation with anticipation.

Suddenly, the immortal formation began to activate and let out a dazzling light.

Standing in front of the variant human Gu Immortals was black haired land spirit who was imdiately happy as he shouted: "He is back, he is back!"

Behind him were the snowman, rockman, and inkman Gu Immortals who all had complicated expressions.

Lang Ya blessed land had just been invaded by Heavenly Court, and due to the four races alliance agreent, these three variant human tribes had the responsibility to help the hairy n and protect Lang Ya blessed land from Heavenly Court.

When Lang Ya land spirit requested their help, these three variant human tribes' leaders were unwilling, they were filled with bitterness and regret towards the alliance agreent.

But what use was their regret?

They could not go against the alliance agreent.

Even if they successfully violated the alliance agreent by so way, so what?

At present, humanity was the ruler of the five regions, an undeniable overlord. The survival space for variant human tribes was extrely small, they could only live by allying with each other.

This strategy was not wrong.

It was just that the three variant human tribes had not thought Lang Ya Sect would actually attract Heavenly Court!

What kind of existence was Heavenly Court?!

This was the number one human force, a colossal organization that had existed for millions of years.

Compared to Heavenly Court, the four races alliance was too minuscule and would not even be able to endure any setback.

So when Lang Ya land spirit requested for help, these three races had been unwilling and had been making excuses.

Who could have thought that at this ti, Fang Yuan would put Thunder Ghost True Monarch's rib bones for sale in treasure yellow heaven, this result invaded the variant human Gu Immortals' hearts like a hurricane.

They saw hope of resisting Heavenly Court.

But the more important thing was Lang Ya blessed land now possessed rank eight level battle strength!

If they refused Lang Ya land spirit's request, besides having to face the backlash from breaking the alliance agreent, the three races would also have to face Fang Yuan, a Gu Immortal that could fight rank eight.

The balance in their hearts had quickly inclined to one side, the snown were the first to change their standpoint, expressing full support for Lang Ya Sect. Following them were the inkn and rockn.

"It was truly correct of to take in Fang Yuan as an external supre elder!" Lang Ya land spirit was greatly pleased at achieving his objective.

After he got Fang Yuan's ssage and knew he was returning, he had an inspiration and brought these variant human Gu Immortals to welco Fang Yuan.

The light dissipated and Fang Yuan's figure appeared in front of everyone.

The variant human Gu Immortals looked on with all sorts of expressions as Lang Ya land spirit greeted Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan looked around and laughed on the inside: "It is the sa scene as my previous life. Lang Ya land spirit really has so political skills, using to suppress the other allies."

But Fang Yuan did not want to engage in small talk and waste ti for no reason. Just like in the previous life, he gave a nod to Xue Er and left.

This small action, however, greatly excited the snowman Gu Immortals, while making the rockn and inkn feel envious.

Because of the battle with Thunder Ghost True Monarch, Fang Yuan's status had greatly risen in everyone's hearts, but Fang Yuan's mind was sober at this mont.

After the rebirth, his battle strength was once again back to the peak of rank seven, he was simply nothing when compared to Heavenly Court.

In fact, even in the previous life when he had peak rank eight battle strength, so what?

Fang Yuan and Lang Ya land spirit had a private conversation, Lang Ya land spirit returned Fang Yuan's perceivable dao Immortal Gu and also told Fang Yuan that Heavenly Court had indeed planted so thods and harmful dao marks in Lang Ya blessed land.

Lang Ya land spirit was extrely worried.

Because even after trying with all his strength, he could do nothing to these dao marks.

Fang Yuan was well aware that these dao marks were a portion of Heavenly Court's famous star cast killer move and were intentionally left by Feng Jiu Ge.

In his previous life, when Heavenly Court initiated the second invasion, these dao marks turned into a spiral tunnel that directly transported four rank eight Gu Immortals in.

In this battle, Fang Yuan obtained rank seven Fixed Immortal Travel but exposed his emperor yama killer move as well as his Suan Bu Jin identity, and even lost his ally, Lang Ya Sect.

In the end, Fang Yuan retreated, Heavenly Court also had to retreat while Longevity Heaven beca the one who benefited the most.

Fang Yuan played dumb and replied to Lang Ya land spirit: "First supre elder, don't be too anxious, let deduce first and plan on how to deal with this situation."

Lang Ya land spirit heaved a sigh: "Alright."

He found it strange, Fang Yuan actually did not ntion even a word about the Long Hair true aning, this did not match Fang Yuan's usual personality.

1However, Lang Ya land spirit also would not remind Fang Yuan, after all, although he had agreed to give it to Fang Yuan, he was still extrely unwilling to part with the Long Hair true aning.

Right now, wisdom Gu was still in Lang Ya blessed land.

Fang Yuan arrived before wisdom Gu and stayed there for three days and three nights, using his ti path clone to deduce continuously.

This rebirth was sowhat special compared to the previous ones.

The rebirth period was quite long ago, having traveled years into the past.

But this was reasonable.

Because Fang Yuan's clone already had rank seven cultivation back then and Spring Autumn Cicada had also been advanced to rank seven, he had also used the killer move spring autumn success.

Fang Yuan's main body was killed while the ti path clone self-detonated with much deeper foundation than before, Spring Autumn Cicada had more fuel and the rebirth would naturally go back a lot further in ti.

As for the first rebirth where Fang Yuan traveled back five hundred years with just rank six cultivation, it was the work of heaven's will, it was a special situation!

"Actually, there is also the killer move spring autumn target in Red Lotus' true inheritance which can go back to a specific ti. But this killer move cannot guarantee the success of rebirth, so I chose spring autumn success to remove the possibility of failure."

3Fang Yuan took a glance at Spring Autumn Cicada.

The current Spring Autumn Cicada was not rank seven like in the previous life, it had returned to rank six.

Moreover, because of the rebirth, its state was not optimal, it looked extrely lethargic and its body was brown like dying leaves. It required ti to rest and recover.

"In Red Lotus' true inheritance, there are many killer moves that can hasten the recovery of Spring Autumn Cicada. Spring Autumn Cicada is indeed worthy of being Red Lotus Demon Venerable's vital Immortal Gu, its effect is truly too powerful."

Fang Yuan sighed internally.

He was no longer a mortal Gu Master so there was no danger of Spring Autumn Cicada bursting his aperture.

With the current progress, even without Fang Yuan speeding up Spring Autumn Cicada's recovery, it would recover completely by the ti of Central Continent's Refinent Path Convention years later. At that ti, Fang Yuan would be able to use spring autumn success once again.

"But Heavenly Court is so strong, even if I can rebirth again and again, it would be no use if I don't find a way to win against Heavenly Court."

Thinking of his previous life, Fang Yuan felt a mountain pressing down on him.

Heavenly Court's foundation was so unfathomable that it shook the world!

Fang Yuan was still unable to see how many Gu Immortals there were in the immortal graveyard.

Duke Long definitely had pseudo-Immortal Venerable battle strength, only Bo Qing might have the strength to contend against him. Fang Yuan himself was killed by Duke Long, Duke Long alone turned their strong invasion into an utter failure!

Naturally, a venerable was an invincible existence, even Duke Long would not be able to compete against any of their killer moves.

But with this, the exchange of moves between venerables across ti and space along with their respective plans made the originally chaotic situation even more complicated.

These venerables had arranged countless thods which influenced the whole situation again and again, Fang Yuan felt a headache recalling it.

Besides Duke Long, there was also Fairy Zi Wei, Chen Yi, Li Huang, Qing Ye, Yuan Qiong Du and others.

These Gu Immortals were elites and could not be looked down upon.

Even more terrifying was their sacrificial mindset towards Heavenly Court, they were willing to contribute everything without fearing death.

That kind of fanaticism towards Heavenly Court and humanity made Fang Yuan feel a trace of wariness and trepidation.

"If I can't find a way to win against Heavenly Court, it is useless even if I have the chance to rebirth countless tis. To win against Heavenly Court, I have to try my best in this life and not let go of any chance to strengthen myself!"

"I need to plan carefully."

Fang Yuan started to make plans.

There was no doubt that skill and foresight were required to make use of rebirth.

Although Fang Yuan had the advantage of future knowledge, he only had mories. He was no longer the sa as before, he was the number one rank seven in the world, his every move had wide-ranging influence.

If he changed many things for minuscule profits, the influence would beco even greater and cause reality to experience huge changes, sharply lowering Fang Yuan's rebirth advantage.

But if he was too hesitant to make changes because of this, then he would not improve enough to beco Heavenly Court's match when the ti cos.

This required a good balance.

There was also another crucial thing, he had to prevent other Gu Immortals from knowing he had been reborn again.

The longer he could preserve this secret, the more beneficial it would be for him.

Fang Yuan spent about sixteen hours to sort everything out, creating an enormous and ticulous plan.

Fang Yuan called Lang Ya land spirit: "How many Immortal Gu do you have? Let have a look at the list, I thought about it and felt that refinent path true aning would not be useful to . If there are suitable Immortal Gu, I might give up on refinent path true aning and choose those Immortal Gu."

"Ah!" Lang Ya land spirit cried out in shock and joy: "Okay, I will imdiately give you the list."

As far as Lang Ya land spirit was concerned, the symbolic aning of the refinent path true aning was too huge. It was just like what fate Gu was to Heavenly Court, besides its own power, it had emblematic psychological value as well.

Previously, Lang Ya land spirit had lost Fang Yuan's Dang Hun Mountain and according to the agreent, he had to compensate Fang Yuan with refinent path true aning, but he had been very unwilling.

Fang Yuan looked at the list and discovered steal life Immortal Gu was actually included!

In his mind, he nodded in satisfaction. He could see from this that Lang Ya land spirit did not hide anything.

In the past, Fang Yuan had used Spectral Soul's true inheritance to exchange for Long Hair true inheritance from Lang Ya land spirit, both sides had held back, not exchanging their trump cards.

Lang Ya Sect had Long Hair refinent path true aning, Long Hair refinent path formation, omnipresent four seas, refinent water, steal life Immortal Gu, Heavenly Giant Solor, the agreent with Longevity Heaven, and so on, these would not be taken out to exchange with Fang Yuan.

In the previous life, Fang Yuan had obtained refinent path true aning from Lang Ya land spirit, raising his refinent path attainnt level to quasi-supre grandmaster level!

This choice was not wrong as the refinent path attainnt level had provided Fang Yuan with a huge help.

But now that Fang Yuan had been reborn, his attainnt level in refinent path was the sa as in his previous life, it was still at quasi-supre grandmaster. So refinent path true aning was useless to Fang Yuan.

1This was because the attainnt level of Fang Yuan's main body was always shared with the ti path clone.

Unlike Spectral Soul's clones, Fang Yuan's main reason for creating the ti path clone was to make the ti path clone bathe in the light of wisdom and help him deduce things. How could this work without shared attainnt levels?

Now, although it was only the ti path clone who had reborn, his attainnt level was the sa as before, so the attainnt levels of Fang Yuan's main body naturally rose as well.

Thus, Fang Yuan made a different choice in this life: "I choose steal life Immortal Gu, and also these... hmm, give all the ti path Immortal Gu."

Lang Ya land spirit was dazed for a mont before quickly agreeing: "Okay!"
