The two armies faced each other, three clusters of combatants clashing fiercely before the formation, drawing countless eyes.
Xiao Hejian was among the strongest of the Eighth Transformation — in terms of raw power, he was unquestionably on the level of a Heavenly Court member. And ever since Shen Congsheng had returned from the Azure Dragon Whale, his strength had surged enormously. The two clashed blow for blow, perfectly matched.
But the other two battle groups were going badly for the Non-Human Grand Alliance.
Lord of Chaotic Stone Cave was on the defensive more than the offensive, while the Seventh Transformation Snow People Gu Immortal at the other front was already showing signs of defeat. His opponent was Xia Ruizhi — though only at the Seventh Transformation himself, he was still the Grand Elder of the Xia family, brimming with abundant resources and a vast array of methods.
After a few more exchanges, Xia Ruizhi suddenly bellowed and unleashed a lethal killer move, striking directly at the Snow People Gu Immortal.
The Snow People Gu Immortal could not dodge. Despair washed across his face.
At that very moment, Ice Crystal Immortal King made his move, launching an ice-path killer move in a fierce assault toward Xia Ruizhi.
The Eastern Sea alliance forces were furious. One after another, they struck out to shield Xia Ruizhi, blocking Ice Crystal Immortal King's surprise attack.
Seizing the opening, Ice Crystal Immortal King also pulled that Seventh Transformation Snow People subordinate back into their own ranks.
"Non-human Gu Immortals truly have no sense of honor or shame — losing the fight and snatching back the man!"
"It was supposed to be a duel, yet they intervened to save him. Fine. Since you won't play by the rules, then we'll all join in."
"Kill them! Wipe out every last one of those non-human Gu Immortals!"
The Eastern Sea Righteous Alliance army was incandescent with rage. The entire force surged forward like a tidal wave, crashing toward the Non-Human Grand Alliance.
Ice Crystal Immortal King and the others' faces changed drastically.
The Eastern Sea alliance's offensive was savage. Over a dozen Immortal Gu Houses led the charge, barreling forward in a brutal, unstoppable rampage. By comparison, though the Non-Human Grand Alliance boasted many Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals, they lacked Immortal Gu Houses. In a battle of this scale, relying solely on flesh and blood put them at a severe disadvantage.
At this critical juncture, an ant army suddenly materialized, forming a brilliant, golden torrent of forces that surged back against the Eastern Sea alliance.
The Eastern Sea offensive ground to a halt. Surrounded by ant soldiers numbering in the billions, many of their Immortal Gu Houses were being frantically infiltrated. They could only scramble to defend themselves, their formation thrown into chaos.
Wu Shuai appeared at leisure. Even without the Dragon Palace, he was still among the strongest of the Eighth Transformation!
"Alliance Master!" The morale of the Non-Human Grand Alliance soared.
The Eastern Sea Gu Immortals, by contrast, were struck with shock.
"Why is Wu Shuai here?"
"Wasn't he with that great demon Fang Yuan?"
"If he's here, then where is Fang Yuan?"
As though answering the Eastern Sea immortals' questions, Fang Yuan's figure also materialized.
"You've got quite some nerve." Fang Yuan smiled, and with a casual flick of his hand, a five-colored rainbow of light roared forth.
A Seventh Transformation Immortal Gu House was struck by the five-colored beam. It trembled violently, held on for a few breaths, then could withstand no more and retreated frantically.
The Gu Immortal inside was terrified beyond measure, crying out in alarm: "This is a composite killer move! It contains five paths — metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!"
Fang Yuan snapped his fingers, and countless light butterflies burst forth.
The butterflies danced through the air like a torrential downpour, sweeping toward every Immortal Gu House on the battlefield.
Each Immortal Gu House unleashed its full power, mounting a desperate resistance.
The light butterflies continuously shifted color, deftly avoiding numerous attacks, and infiltrated the interior of the Immortal Gu Houses.
"That's another composite killer move! It incorporates the mysteries of the Transformation Dao and the Refinement Dao!"
"Don't let these light butterflies near the Immortal Gu Houses — they can forcibly refine the Gu Insects inside!"
Shrieks erupted throughout the Eastern Sea alliance army.
The immortals of the Non-Human Grand Alliance watched with their jaws hanging open.
Fang Yuan had single-handedly thrown the entire Eastern Sea alliance into disarray — this was the might of a Half-Immortal Venerable! The supreme demon of the Five Regions!
"Immortal Friend Fang Yuan, I trust you've been well?" At that critical moment, the air surged like crashing waves, and Qi Sea Old Ancestor revealed his true form.
The Eastern Sea alliance's morale finally stabilized.
"Qi Sea Old Ancestor has finally made his move!"
"He's a Half-Immortal Venerable — only he can go toe to toe with Fang Yuan."
"Qi Sea Old Ancestor came back too? Wasn't he missing?" The non-human Gu Immortals were astonished, and many wore grave expressions.
The reason the Eastern Sea immortals had been able to assemble this army to attack the Non-Human Grand Alliance was twofold: the Xia family had been proactively conducting diplomacy, willingly surrendering numerous resource points, and Qi Sea Old Ancestor had secretly returned, quietly rallying the various immortals.
"Immortal Friend Fang Yuan, after you!" Qi Sea Old Ancestor was the first to break through the Heavenly Force qi wall, ascending to the Ancient White Day.
Fang Yuan laughed heartily. "Since you're in such fine spirits, Qi Sea, then naturally I'll oblige." With that, he too soared up to the Ancient White Day.
No one dared follow them. The skies above the Eastern Sea had already erupted into a chaotic melee.
