The battlefield of the Invincible Blessed Land.
"The enemy has entered the formation. It seems they want to maximize the power of the Five-Colored Miasma. Li Huang and the others are in trouble." Chen Yi had been closely monitoring the battle.
"Should we go out and provide support? Perhaps we could join forces with these reinforcements and crush the enemy's formation. Once the formation is broken and we destroy one or two core Immortal Gu, they won't have any chance of turning things around." Bai Cangshui suggested.
Chen Yi thought for a moment, then shook his head. "There's no need to take risks. The overall situation is extremely favorable to us. Have them withdraw and enter the Nine-Nine Endless Chain Formation."
Rather than launching an offensive, Chen Yi ordered Li Huang and the others to pull back. He had made up his mind to stall for time.
Fang Yuan flew out of the formation and began to engage Li Huang and the others.
Within the Five-Colored Miasma, Li Huang and the others struggled fiercely against Fang Yuan, greatly restricted and unable to fight freely.
After suffering considerable losses, Li Huang gave the order to retreat, and the group plunged into the Nine-Nine Endless Chain Grand Formation.
In an instant, both sides had retreated into their respective formations. The battlefield, once filled with the sounds of fierce combat, was left with only the howling of the Infinite Wind.
Both Wu Yong and Fang Yuan remained outside the formations. The former carefully manipulated the Infinite Wind, avoiding the Five-Colored Miasma, and directed it toward the Heavenly Court's Grand Formation from another direction. The latter hid within the Five-Colored Miasma, riding its advance as it crept toward the Heavenly Court's Grand Formation.
"Hold on just like this. Once the Heavenly Court's battlefield is secured, it will be a great victory for our side!" Inside the Nine-Nine Endless Chain Formation, Chen Yi loudly rallied morale.
But he had barely finished speaking when a thunderous explosion rang out.
The Immortal Gu Masters hastily looked over and saw the Five-Colored Miasma churning ceaselessly as the Five Realms Grand Formation on Fang Yuan's side suddenly detonated. A figure shot out from the heaven-covering, earth-blinding miasma like a sharp arrow.
"Crown Prince Fengxian, what are you doing?!"
"Kill him! He must be a spy planted by the Heavenly Court!"
"Lord Chi Quyou, are you all right?! Someone, come quickly and revive Lord Chi!"
The sudden turn of events threw the Gu Immortals of the Southern Border and Northern Plains into complete chaos.
"Crown Prince Fengxian, don't even think about escaping!" Fang Yuan and Wu Yong, positioned outside the formations, both turned to intercept Crown Prince Fengxian.
Bai Cangshui was overjoyed. "So it was Crown Prince Fengxian who struck from within and destroyed the enemy's formation! Well done!"
Some Gu Immortals who were unaware of the truth were completely dumbfounded by what they saw.
"Quick, quick, quick! Crown Prince Fengxian is one of our Spirit Fate Hall's people! Go and support him!" A Supreme Elder of Spirit Fate Hall urged repeatedly.
Before she even finished, Chen Yi had already issued the order.
Li Huang, Qing Ye, and Bai Cangshui flew out of the formation to meet Crown Prince Fengxian and escort him in.
Fang Yuan and Wu Yong were blocked by the three of them.
Crown Prince Fengxian was no weakling himself, and with the reinforcements, he successfully entered the Nine-Nine Endless Chain Formation.
What the Heavenly Court's Immortals did not know was that this Crown Prince Fengxian — the very one they had personally escorted into their formation — was a fake!
"Finally inside." Fang Yuan sneered to himself, killing intent surging through his chest.
Immortal Killer Move — "We Have Met Before"!
This was a killer move that Fang Yuan had significantly improved, and with the dramatic increase in his Transformation Path Dao Marks after devouring the Beast Tribulation Grotto-Heaven, its power had multiplied severalfold.
Even though the Heavenly Court had been on guard, they still failed to discover Fang Yuan's true identity!
At this moment, the real Crown Prince Fengxian was actually still inside the Five Realms Grand Formation.
The Five Realms Grand Formation had been improved by Fang Yuan, who had naturally designed a formation within the formation. This inner formation was the cage that imprisoned Crown Prince Fengxian, with several Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals personally guarding the formation eyes.
As for the "Fang Yuan" within the Five-Colored Miasma, that was actually Yi Haofang in disguise.
Yi Haofang, an Eighth Transformation Gu Immortal of the Southern Border, was also a Transformation Path Gu Master.
Although he didn't possess a killer move like "We Have Met Before," he was hidden within the Five-Colored Miasma, and other Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals were helping him conceal his detection-prevention moves, so he wasn't found out.
As for the Five Realms Grand Formation, it had genuinely self-destructed. An enormous number of Mortal Gu were instantly annihilated, and the Immortal Gu that had been part of the formation each suffered damage.
Without this sacrifice, they wouldn't have been able to fool Chen Yi and the others.
There was another reason Chen Yi remained in the dark — the Heavenly Court's Fairy Ziwei had given them advance notice.
Chen Yi and the others had learned of Crown Prince Fengxian's true identity, so throughout the fierce battle they had kept their attention on him at all times.
The moment Crown Prince Fengxian made his move and stabbed the enemy in the back, they would actively cooperate to expand the gains.
Now, Crown Prince Fengxian's strike had shattered the enemy's formation the moment he made his move — the gains were enormous!
Because Chen Yi and the others had been mentally prepared, they immediately moved to intercept Fang Yuan.
"If my secret of rebirth is exposed, the Heavenly Court will certainly be concerned about Crown Prince Fengxian's identity being revealed. And since the current great battle concerns the overall situation of Fate Gu, at a critical moment, the Heavenly Court will certainly reveal Crown Prince Fengxian's true identity to protect the larger picture! This is exactly the point I can exploit."
Fang Yuan sneered inwardly. Disguised as Crown Prince Fengxian and wearing the appearance of grievous injuries, under the expectant gazes of the Heavenly Court's Immortals, he strode brazenly into the heart of the Nine-Nine Endless Chain Formation.
A Supreme Elder of Spirit Fate Hall was the first to greet him, smiling as she said, "Welcome home."
Fang Yuan had been building up his strength, poised to strike.
"Because I'm not the real Crown Prince Fengxian. The moment I speak to them, my identity will be exposed."
"Moreover, I don't have Wu Yong's concealment techniques. While charging up my killer move, my aura will inevitably leak out."
"So the true moment to strike is right when I first enter the formation! Because I was being chased, my Immortal Moves haven't dissipated yet."
Fang Yuan was about to launch his lethal strike when a sudden change erupted!
On the entire battlefield, every face had changed.
