Under the effect of the Immortal Killer Move "Conquering Battle Subjugation," any life that was decisively defeated by Fang Yuan in direct combat would have a high probability of submitting to him and being enslaved.
The core of this move was the Seventh Transformation Immortal Gu that Fang Yuan had just acquired: Battle Gu. With the assistance of various Wisdom Path Gu Insects, this Rule Path Immortal Gu began to display its unique value.
"Conquering Battle Subjugation" was created by the Zombie King Dali.
Zombie King Dali was one of the second-generation split souls of Spectral Soul's main body, known as the Martial Combat Heavenly King. He cultivated both the Strength Path and the Wisdom Path, and possessed the Great Strength True Martial Body.
After the first-generation split soul, Lord Purple Mountain, transformed into the Purple Gold Stone, it was he who inherited the position of Shadow Sect leader.
However, later on, a mysterious Gu Immortal with a red lotus imprint between the eyebrows came looking for him. After a fierce battle, he was ultimately defeated and then suppressed by the Immortal Gu House "Startling Dance Arena."
This was the origin of the Conquering Battle Subjugation Killer Move. It was an excellent move containing the quintessence of the Strength Path and the Wisdom Path.
After inheriting Lord Purple Mountain's legacy, Fang Yuan learned about this Killer Move.
Of course, he was not familiar with this Conquering Battle Subjugation move, and this was his first time using it.
However, unlike other moves, this one only required Fang Yuan to activate it in advance, and the difficulty of maintaining the Killer Move was very low.
Most Immortal Killer Moves, Fang Yuan could not use during battle because he was not proficient with them; a single mistake would be shooting himself in the foot.
But now, Fang Yuan had the initiative and was setting a trap for the Heavenly Court pursuers. Therefore, he had ample time to prepare in advance. After several failures, he successfully activated the Killer Move Conquering Battle Subjugation.
Subsequently, while maintaining Conquering Battle Subjugation, Fang Yuan diverted his attention to activate another Killer Move, "Year Beast Summoning," calling forth a large army of Year Beasts within this branch of the Time River.
However, although the number of Year Beasts was vast, the drawback of the Year Beast Summoning move still existed.
That was, the summoned Year Beasts would not fight to the death for Fang Yuan. Once they were seriously injured, or the enemy was too powerful, they would retreat on their own.
This was different from the Spectral Beast Summoning created by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable. With that move, any Spectral Beast would fight to the death for the Gu Immortal, utterly without regard for their own safety.
Year Beast Summoning was, after all, created by Black Fan. Although Black Fan was an Eighth Transformation Gu Immortal of the Time Path, he paled in comparison to Spectral Soul Demon Venerable.
Of course, despite this, the power of Year Beast Summoning could not be denied.
Overall, this move was still very practical.
Centered on the Eighth Transformation Immortal Gu "Like Flowing Water," the Gu Immortal could directly summon a Year Beast army. Facing enemies, it could often form a powerful encirclement and kill, unless one encountered a special Seventh Transformation expert like Feng Jiuge, or an Eighth Transformation Gu Immortal.
But in the Gu Immortal world, how many were there like the Eighth Transformation experts or someone like Feng Jiuge?
Smack, smack, smack.
The giant Strength Path palms flew everywhere, knocking the retreating Year Beasts to the ground one after another.
These Year Beasts, under the effect of Year Beast Summoning, had engaged Feng Jiuge in battle. After suffering under Feng Jiuge's hands, they harbored thoughts of retreat, wanting to leave this place via the Time River branch again.
But Fang Yuan was already blocking their path of retreat, unleashing Strength Path giant palms to slap each Year Beast onto the ground.
Most of these Year Beasts were subdued by Conquering Battle Subjugation, becoming Fang Yuan's slaves.
But there were still a part that resisted.
For these stubborn resistors, Fang Yuan's response was to continue slapping them with Strength Path giant palms.
Smack, smack, smack.
After several consecutive slaps, very few Year Beasts remained unsubmissive. After all, these Year Beasts were not in complete condition to begin with, and already bore various injuries from Feng Jiuge's assault.
More and more Year Beasts were subdued by Fang Yuan.
He opened his blessed land's gateway and collected these Year Beasts one by one into his Supreme Sovereign Blessed Land.
There were also some Year Beast corpses.
These unlucky ones were usually severely injured first, then caught by Fang Yuan's Strength Path giant palm which failed to control its force, and were slapped to death on the spot.
Even though they were dead, these were all Sixth Transformation and Seventh Transformation immortal materials.
Fang Yuan did not let a single one go!
On the battlefield, the Year Beasts had been almost completely eradicated by Feng Jiuge. Fang Yuan then activated Year Beast Summoning again, calling forth another batch of Year Beasts to join the battle.
Then, he stayed hidden under the concealment and disguise of the Gu formation, borrowing Feng Jiuge's strength to take these Year Beasts into his possession.
After a short while, the number of Year Beasts in Fang Yuan's blessed land already approached seventy or eighty.
Most were Desolate-level Year Beasts, with a smaller portion being Ancient-era Year Beasts.
"If this continues, I might be able to accumulate several hundred Year Beasts," Fang Yuan thought happily.
Although he hadn't managed to purchase that batch of Year Beasts in the Yellow Treasure Heaven, he had self-reliantly captured quite a few.
"However... considering my soul foundation, I can probably enslave at most a hundred or so Year Beasts," Fang Yuan estimated again.
Although his soul foundation was powerful, one must not forget that a large number of Hawk Beasts had previously been placed under his control.
"Perhaps I should sell these Hawk Beasts?" While Fang Yuan was hesitating, his scalp suddenly tingled, and his entire body tensed.
A powerful, ancient aura was slowly rising from the Time River branch behind him.
"It's an Ancient-era Year Beast! It was attracted by my Like Flowing Water Immortal Gu!" Fang Yuan instantly understood.
Fang Yuan had not placed the Like Flowing Water Immortal Gu into his Supreme Sovereign Blessed Land, so the Ancient-era Year Beast was directly attracted by the Immortal Gu's aura and was preparing to arrive here via the Time River branch.
Sensing the aura of the Ancient-era Year Beast, the Year Beasts on the battlefield all went into a frenzy, suddenly becoming extremely brave.
Feng Jiuge felt the pressure intensify drastically. Especially for those Year Beasts he was temporarily controlling through the "Bow Head Song," the difficulty of enslaving them also skyrocketed.
Rumble!
A colossal tiger claw suddenly erupted from the Time River branch.
