Clap, clap, clap!
The towering Primordial Walking Flesh Tree always charged at the forefront. Countless tentacle-like branches, resembling those of some monstrous octopus, whistled through the air with fierce howls as they swung with tremendous force. Even the Gu Houses of the Western Desert Immortal Gu Masters were forced to retreat, step by step.
Flesh Whip Immortal, single-handedly clashing with Gu Houses — truly worthy of being an Eighth Transformation powerhouse entombed within Heavenly Court's Immortal Tombs. Her strength was formidable indeed!
Of course, this was also a testament to the advantages of Transformation Path.
"Leave this to us!" At the critical moment, the Dong Family Immortal Gu Master stepped forward.
Just as in his previous life, the Dong Family once again deployed their Seventh Transformation Gu House, the Red River Chariot.
The Gu House resembled a waterwheel — or perhaps a colossal wheel in its own right — spinning and rolling under its own power, flames churning and roaring, as it hurtled toward the Primordial Walking Flesh Tree.
The Heavenly Court Immortal Gu Masters narrowed their eyes upon seeing this.
Directly ramming with a Gu House was the most straightforward approach, but it was rarely a Gu House's strongest technique.
Depending on the Immortal Gu used in its construction and the methods employed, each Gu House had its own unique Immortal killer moves.
The Red River Chariot had clearly activated its own killer move. Its might surged to a breathtaking level as it charged straight at Flesh Whip Immortal.
The Heavenly Court Immortal Gu Masters tensed. Likewise, the Western Desert Immortal Gu Masters were equally anxious.
The Red River Chariot was merely a Seventh Transformation Gu House. While it could hold its own against an Eighth Transformation opponent, a head-on collision with Flesh Whip Immortal would be evenly matched — both sides would suffer devastating damage.
Still, the outcome would be slightly more favorable for the Western Desert.
Even in a mutually destructive clash, the Red River Chariot could be restored simply by replacing its Gu Insects. Flesh Whip Immortal, on the other hand, would suffer injuries to her true body — far more troublesome, with a long and grueling recovery ahead.
"Bring it on!" At the critical moment, Flesh Whip Immortal charged forward instead of retreating, roaring with excitement.
"This woman..."
"Protect her!"
The Heavenly Court Immortal Gu Masters reached an instantaneous consensus.
Zhang Feixiong let out a roar and transformed into a giant once more — bear-headed and human-bodied — attacking the Red River Chariot from the flank.
"The Red River Chariot is strongest from the front and rear, but its flanks are vulnerable. We'll cover the Dong Family!" The Gu House Jade Toad Fortress, resembling a green meteor, slammed into Zhang Feixiong.
Wan Zihong let out a delicate laugh as countless flower petals scattered across the battlefield, falling onto the Red River Chariot. Its momentum steadily declined.
The Fang Family's Rooster Cage and Dog Kennel came to support, releasing ancient desolate beasts — chickens, dogs, and the like — to attack Wan Zihong.
Wan Zihong was still maintaining her killer move and had no time to dodge. Beside her, Jade Bead and Wild Woodcutter appeared. One scattered countless jade beads that chimed as they fell, while the other radiated clusters of yellow light that alternated between fast and slow.
The ancient desolate beasts — chickens, dogs, and others — were either smashed by the jade beads until they bled from their heads, or temporarily trapped by the yellow light, frozen midair and unable to move.
"Damn it! That Wan Zihong is the very demoness who plagued our Western Desert throughout history, and Heavenly Court recruited her!" The Dong Family Immortal Gu Masters inside the Red River Chariot gritted their teeth as they glared at Wan Zihong.
The Dong Family were part of the Western Desert's Righteous Path and detested demonic Gu Masters above all else. Yet Wan Zihong was none other than one of the most infamous demonesses in history.
Watching the Red River Chariot's power continue to wane — if this kept up, it would be crushed by the Primordial Walking Flesh Tree — a Gu House resembling a flower cottage nestled in a forest suddenly exerted its force from the rear of the battlefield.
Wan Zihong let out a soft gasp as she felt her killer move slip from her control. Countless flower petals reversed course and swept toward the Heavenly Court Immortal Gu Masters instead.
Wan Zihong let out a muffled grunt. The backlash from her killer move inflicted no small amount of damage.
Her eyes flashed like lightning as she locked onto the culprit — the Fang Family's Seventh Transformation Gu House, the Falling Blossom Pavilion.
BOOM!
The next instant, the Primordial Walking Flesh Tree and the Red River Chariot finally collided.
Both were immediately sent flying backward.
The flesh tree lost several hundred of its tentacles, while the surface of the Red River Chariot's wheels was smashed beyond recognition. Over three thousand Gu Insects were lost, and the Dong Family Immortal Gu Masters scrambled desperately to carry out repairs.
"Real... punch!" Flesh Whip Immortal clenched her teeth and struggled to maintain the flesh tree's form. Though her injuries were far from light, her fighting spirit burned even brighter.
She was about to charge again when Zhang Feixiong blocked her path.
"Let me handle it. Go back and heal." Zhang Feixiong, who had previously been knocked flying by the Gu House, had now flown back and immediately took Flesh Whip Immortal's position.
But Flesh Whip Immortal was stubborn, refusing to back down, determined to fight to the last. "No! Let me charge — no one can stop me."
No sooner had she spoken than a massive pillar of starlight shot down from above, enveloping Flesh Whip Immortal.
Flesh Whip Immortal: "..."
In the next instant, she vanished along with the pillar of starlight, returning to Heavenly Court.
On the battlefield of Heavenly Court, the Calamity Altar was still struggling to press forward, trying to break free from the qi wall, but Dragon Lord stood firmly in its path.
Dragon Lord's towering body was as if forged from golden steel. Even alone, he struck the Calamity Altar so hard it could barely lift its head.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Every strike Dragon Lord launched was accompanied by a deafening explosion. Merely Transformation Path killer moves — yet they forced the Calamity Altar to advance not a single step.
For every ten steps it painstakingly gained, Dragon Lord would beat it back nine.
Flesh Whip Immortal swallowed hard, gazing up at Dragon Lord's magnificent combat form, filled with envy — when would she ever possess such overwhelming strength!
Light flickered around her as streams of pale blue water coiled around her body, washing away the foreign Dao traces from her wounds.
This was a healing formation specially deployed by Heavenly Court, greatly enhancing recovery efficiency.
"Heavenly Court's teleportation methods can transport groups and individuals alike — back and forth at will. How troublesome." Fang Yuan's clone, Fang Tichang, deeply furrowed his brows.
