It felt like an eternity had passed, yet also like the blink of an eye.
The majestic Monitoring Heaven Tower began to slowly emanate a pure white radiance, which gradually grew brighter and brighter, eventually bursting forth.
After a few breaths, its brilliant light surged into the sky, as if a sovereign had descended to command the world, illuminating the entire battlefield!
The chaotic battlefield, where fierce fighting had raged moments before, instantly froze.
Almost every Immortal Gu Master raised their head to gaze at the Monitoring Heaven Tower.
The Immortal Gu Masters of the Three Regions all turned deathly pale, their faces ashen. Meanwhile, many Immortal Gu Masters within Heaven Court burst into tears of joy in that instant.
"The Ninth Transformation Fate Gu has been successfully repaired!"
"Yuan Qiong didn't fail us after all! He did it! This is truly wonderful!"
"The Monitoring Heaven Tower has returned to its Peak-stage perfection. We've won!"
The Heaven Court Immortal Gu Masters cheered and roared, their morale soaring to its absolute peak.
"Retreat! Retreat immediately!" Whether it was Wu Yong, Medicine Emperor, or Shen Congsheng and the others, they all shouted at the same time, their fighting spirit utterly crushed.
Bing Saichuan still gripped the Tribulation Destiny Altar, his expression filled with unwillingness. He transmitted his voice to Fang Yuan: "Do something, quickly!"
The Primordial Sword Dragon that Fang Yuan had transformed into also began retreating rapidly.
Dragon Lord abandoned Fang Yuan and used the Dragon Gate to quickly enter the Monitoring Heaven Tower.
"Fate Gu, Fate Gu..." When he beheld the complete and unscathed Fate Gu, he could no longer contain the intense excitement surging within him. Tears of elation streamed down his face, and he felt an overwhelming sense of relief.
It was his own disciple, Red Lotus, who had damaged the Fate Gu all those years ago. To make amends for this mistake, Dragon Lord had resolutely shouldered the burden of repairing the Fate Gu.
"Hong Ting, the catastrophic error you made—I have finally corrected it for you. I have not failed Heaven Court. I have not failed humanity!" Dragon Lord took several deep breaths, gradually calming himself. His eyes glinted with a fierce light as he gazed out beyond the tower.
"Now is the time for you to meet your end!" Dragon Lord bellowed, then activated the Monitoring Heaven Tower's most powerful offensive capability.
Immortal Killer Move—Fate Defeat!
Light. Light that filled heaven and earth, omnipresent, illuminating the universe, searing into the hearts of all.
In a single instant, every Seventh Transformation Immortal Gu House on the field crumbled apart. Their occupants only barely survived.
Even the Tribulation Destiny Altar and Long Gong were ravaged. Bing Saichuan, Wu Shuai, Zhan Budu, and the others immediately set to work with all their might to repair them.
The remaining Eighth Transformation powerhouses from the northern plains' history who were still fighting all took the hit, their bodies slowly fading away.
The countless Year Beasts that had been terrorizing Heaven Court, along with the swordsmen Fang Yuan had deployed, were slaughtered en masse in the blink of an eye. Rivers of blood flowed in their wake.
Mao Liqiu's Matched Pairs killing move was forcibly shattered, and Di Cangsheng was pinned to the ground, unable to rise!
Only the Primordial Sword Dragon that Fang Yuan had transformed into remained unscathed.
He was a complete Otherworldly Demon, immune to the targeting of the Fate Defeat killer move—he was naturally immune!
"You're the only one left, Fang Yuan!" Dragon Lord fixed his gaze upon the Primordial Sword Dragon, radiating intense killing intent and hatred.
It was this Otherworldly Demon before him who had destroyed the Immortal Graveyard, demolishing the single greatest reserve of power that Heaven Court had accumulated over more than three million years!
His crimes were unforgivable. He had to die!
BOOM—!
Dragon Lord flew out of the Monitoring Heaven Tower, slicing through the sky as he charged toward Fang Yuan.
"Stop him! Don't let Fang Yuan escape!" Dragon Lord's roar echoed across heaven and earth, shaking the very world.
The Song of Destiny played at precisely the right moment, and Fang Yuan's speed of retreat plummeted.
Immortal Killer Move—Airflow Shear!
Dragon Lord closed in, his palm opening to unleash countless razor-sharp air currents that formed cutting blades of supreme sharpness, raining down upon Fang Yuan in a violent storm.
Fang Yuan proactively cancelled his Reverse Flow Shield Seal and burst through the encirclement of air blades, leaving streaks of blood trailing behind him in midair.
The Ten Thousand Year Battle Flying Chariot rapidly flew over, successfully rendezvousing with Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan stepped onto the prow and transformed once again into the Primordial Year Monkey. He turned and swung his arm—Immortal Killer Move—Summer Fan!
A hurricane roared to life, scattering the Airflow Shear into disarray.
Fang Yuan stomped his foot, and the Ten Thousand Year Battle Flying Chariot hummed, blazing with blinding light as it unleashed a Time Path killer move—Ten Thousand Year Hunt.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Beneath the Ten Thousand Year Battle Flying Chariot, phantom images of the River of Time churned and surged, summoning vast swarms of Year Beasts once more. They surged into the Heaven Court battlefield, blanketing everything, spreading in every direction.
Just then, Feng Jiuge arrived before Dragon Lord.
Immortal Killer Move—Bowing Song.
Immortal Killer Move—One Song's Warrior!
The power of the Bowing Song condensed into a human form that wove through the millions of Year Beasts. Wherever it passed, regardless of their strength, the Year Beasts all betrayed Fang Yuan and switched their allegiance to Feng Jiuge, fighting under his command.
"Well done!" Seeing this, Dragon Lord felt a surge of delight.
Feng Jiuge had previously been mainly using the Song of Destiny to maintain the battlefield and couldn't spare his hands for other methods. Now that he had the opportunity, he immediately revealed a rich arsenal of techniques.
Dragon Lord closed in on the Ten Thousand Year Battle Flying Chariot once more, alternating between the Dragon Claw Strike, World-Shattering Dragon Hammer, and other killer moves. The Dawn-Breaking Sword Swarm was scattered and destroyed, cracks spread across the Ten Thousand Year Battle Flying Chariot, and countless Gu Insects perished in an instant.
Fang Yuan was beaten back, step by step, doing his utmost to repair the Ten Thousand Year Battle Flying Chariot while barely holding out against the combined assault of Dragon Lord and Feng Jiuge.
