Heavenly Court invaded, and upon suddenly laying eyes on four Gu Immortals, Fang Yuan's pupils contracted to needle-point size.
Even with his vast experience and countless encounters, he still found it somewhat incredible!
"So there really is such a method? Teleporting four Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals in all at once! If we hadn't dispersed that dark vortex immediately, even more Gu Immortals would have entered here."
Although Feng Jiuge was not truly at the Eighth Transformation, his dao marks were already at Eighth Transformation level, so it was not unreasonable for Fang Yuan to count him as an Eighth Transformation Gu Immortal.
An Eighth Transformation Gu Immortal's dao marks were immensely powerful. Teleporting such an existence required extremely rare methods and was extraordinarily difficult. Even the immortal-path killer move Seventh-Grade Immortal Gate that Feng Jiuge had previously revealed could not teleport Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals.
When Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals wanted to travel, they typically flew by themselves. To cross regions, they had to pass through the Primordial White Sky or the Primordial Black Sky. Unless one was a powerful figure specializing in the Path of Space, one did not possess teleportation abilities.
Even so, such spatial-path powerhouses could mostly only teleport themselves. Teleporting other Eighth Transformation beings had always been rather difficult.
What Heavenly Court was currently employing — directly teleporting four Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals over, seemingly all the way from Central Continent — such a method was simply inconceivable.
"Even in my previous life five hundred years ago, during the Five Regions War, I never heard that Heavenly Court possessed such a method!"
Teleporting four Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals at once, seemingly capable of teleporting more, and even forming targeted strikes. Such a method was shockingly powerful — any defense could be easily torn apart by it, and a tactical advantage could be elevated entirely to a strategic level.
Just imagine: during the Five Regions War, each Eighth Transformation Gu Immortal dominated a region. At such a time, Heavenly Court secretly mobilized several Eighth Transformation beings and suddenly teleported them next to an enemy Eighth Transformation Gu Immortal. A round of group beatings, overwhelming numbers, a massive advantage — victory all but guaranteed. After a few rounds, who could withstand it? Any region would be utterly overwhelmed, even left completely helpless.
"In my previous life five hundred years ago, why didn't Heavenly Court use this method? Was it because the conditions weren't ripe, or because the timing wasn't right? I think I'm beginning to understand!"
Thoughts flashed through Fang Yuan's mind like bolts of lightning, and a sudden realization dawned on him.
Once this method was deployed by Heavenly Court, the Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals of the other four regions would immediately grow alarmed after suffering some casualties, joining forces to form a grand alliance to besiege Heavenly Court!
This was plain for anyone to see.
If they didn't unite and simply let things play out, every single Eighth Transformation Gu Immortal would face mortal danger at all times. No matter how many Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals there were, they would be defeated one by one by Heavenly Court. None of the Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals were fools — only by joining forces and defeating Heavenly Court could they be safe.
Of course, Heavenly Court wasn't stupid either. They had been hiding this method all along, never deploying it. They were worried that this method was too powerful, that it would easily provoke the shared hatred of all the Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals across the regions, ultimately leading to a four-region grand alliance against Heavenly Court!
But now, in order to besiege Fang Yuan, Heavenly Court had not hesitated to deploy this method ahead of schedule. This showed just how resolute Heavenly Court was in their invasion of the Langya Blessed Land!
"No, it's not just me. I'm afraid there's also the allure of the Ninth Transformation Wisdom Gu. At the same time, devouring the Langya Blessed Land would greatly aid Heavenly Court in repairing the Fate Gu!"
Fang Yuan could only smile bitterly in his heart.
Heavenly Court's attack had come far too suddenly, even though Fang Yuan had already steeled himself to the fullest extent.
But there was nothing he could do. In all honesty, Heavenly Court's methods had already surpassed the bounds of his imagination.
"That's precisely why such an enemy is the most terrifying. Because it has too many trump cards, and its reserves run far too deep!" Fang Yuan sighed bitterly in his heart.
"You little thief!" At the same time, while the other Heavenly Court Gu Immortals held back, Lei Gui Zhenjun charged directly at Fang Yuan.
She hated Fang Yuan to the very core. He had hung her three ribs up for sale on the Treasure Yellow Heaven and continuously replayed that footage without cease — it was simply the most devastating humiliation she had ever suffered in her entire life!
So Lei Gui Zhenjun lunged straight at Fang Yuan, attacking without hesitation, her entire body radiating a dense, heart-chilling killing intent.
But in the next instant, a flash of golden light, and Fang Yuan vanished from where he stood.
