The situation was looking more and more favorable for Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
"Success is right within reach." Tai Bai Yun Sheng, tears filling his eyes, opened them. The situation within his Immortal Aperture had gradually stabilized, and he could now spare some attention to deal with the external crisis.
Seeing himself enveloped by the Calamity Relief Light, safe from calamity, Tai Bai Yun Sheng couldn't help but feel grateful. "This time, I have the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to thank for its help. Otherwise, I would never have had the slightest hope of success. Urgh!"
The Calamity Relief Light suddenly vanished!
Poor Tai Bai Yun Sheng, caught completely off guard, was struck repeatedly by the swarming Chaotic Thunder Beads. His mind immediately descended into chaos. He flew about wildly, crashing into more Chaotic Thunder Beads, losing all control and any shred of clear rationality.
Before the crowd could even express their shock, the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building erupted with an incredibly powerful suction force, directly pulling the frenzied Tai Bai Yun Sheng inside.
Giant Sun's Will could not sacrifice the Calamity Relief Gu, nor could it let Tai Bai Yun Sheng die.
Of course, the best course of action would be to expel Tai Bai Yun Sheng from the Blessed Land. Unfortunately, in the current situation, only the Frost Jade Peacock could do that.
Forced by circumstances, Giant Sun's Will had to resort to this desperate measure.
Truly a worst-case scenario.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the calamity clouds and earthly calamities roiled and surged, covering the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. Countless Chaotic Thunder Beads rained down like a violent storm. The Karmic Bond Smoke, like an ancient primordial python, coiled around the tower, constantly seeping inside.
By taking in Tai Bai Yun Sheng, the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had become the target of the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities.
To protect Tai Bai Yun Sheng's life, Giant Sun's Will chose to directly withstand the Heavenly Tribulation and Earthly Calamity!
"How did this happen!"
"Lord Tai Bai Yun Sheng has been sucked into the True Yang Building!!"
"What virtue or ability does he have to deserve the ancestor's favor? This is a heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity! It will greatly damage the True Yang Building!"
Everyone stared wide-eyed, exclaiming in shock.
Under the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities, activating Gu worms would incur backlash.
The Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was an eighth-rank Immortal Gu House. In essence, it was a combination of many Immortal Gu and countless Mortal Gu. Resisting the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities directly put immense pressure on it. Furthermore, the backlash force significantly affected the coordination and operation of the Gu worms within.
There was no doubt that this was not a wise move.
However, Tai Bai Yun Sheng had become the key to the struggle between Giant Sun's Will and the Frost Jade Peacock. Giant Sun's Will was also forced by circumstances to take this desperate measure.
Inside the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. The Frost Jade Peacock flew at extreme speeds, constantly dodging between the towering trees.
A full five Immortal Gu, trailing fiery tails of various colored light, were chasing it down, surrounding it on all sides.
The Frost Jade Peacock, unwilling to be sealed again, fled with all its might. Gradually, it became frantic and crashed into countless giant trees in its path.
The True Yang Building, under the manipulation of Giant Sun's Will, was a natural prison, able to mobilize any force within its levels. The Frost Jade Peacock had become a bird in a cage. The giant trees transformed into tree-men one after another, all raising their arms to block it.
"Gaa—!"
The Frost Jade Peacock let out a sharp shriek. It was struck.
It shredded the defense line of three Ancient Tree Men, but as a result, its speed greatly decreased, and it was caught up by a Gold Path Immortal Gu behind it.
A layer of flowing golden light rapidly spread over its body. Wherever the golden light touched, it condensed into a thick, hard golden shell, firmly covering the Frost Jade Peacock.
The Frost Jade Peacock felt that the areas covered by the golden light were completely unable to move. It was instantly filled with shock and rage.
It hurriedly flapped its wings, attempting to regain speed, but in the next moment, it was attacked by a second Immortal Gu.
An intense drowsiness attacked its consciousness, making its eyes blurry and filling it with an overwhelming urge to sleep.
With a loud bang.
It fell from mid-air, crashing headfirst to the ground, unable to fly anymore.
Sensing its impending fate of being sealed once again, two streams of sorrowful and indignant tears flowed from its eyes.
"Don't you dare... d-don't you dare..." the Frost Jade Peacock murmured, gathering its remaining strength to resist.
However, although the power of the Muddling Clay Gu still remained on its body, the two Immortal Gu resealing it were not restrained by the Muddling Clay Gu.
"Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!" The Frost Jade Peacock erupted with a powerful death wish. Reckless of the consequences, it extracted the very foundation of the Imperial Court Blessed Land — the Heavenly and Earthly Qi — to aggravate the Heavenly Tribulation and Earthly Calamity.
And it quickly weakened.
The Imperial Court Blessed Land was originally created by a Space Path Gu Immortal. Therefore, the blessed land was vast, far surpassing its peers in scope.
Later, through the development of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, it became a top-tier blessed land, possessing celestial weather phenomena. It could be said to have already stepped one foot over the threshold of transforming into a Grotto-Heaven.
If it could devour the Immortal Aperture and Blessed Land of Tai Bai Yun Sheng, a Time Path Gu Immortal, the fusion of Space and Time would be an immense supplement to the Imperial Court Blessed Land. It would very likely achieve a qualitative change, allowing the Imperial Court Blessed Land to advance into a Grotto-Heaven!
If so, the Frost Jade Peacock would be able to break most of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's arrangements. Although it couldn't suppress the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, it would have the power to kick it out.
But Giant Sun's Will was truly too decisive, willing to withstand the blows of the Heavenly Tribulation and Earthly Calamity just to hold on to Tai Bai Yun Sheng's life.
The Frost Jade Peacock was merely a lingering obsession of a dead Gu Immortal. How could it outmaneuver Giant Sun's Will?
But precisely because it was an obsession, it possessed a reckless courage and savage spirit!
On the verge of being sealed, it preferred destruction. Disregarding the consequences, it drew out a massive amount of Heavenly and Earthly Qi from the Imperial Court Blessed Land.
These heavenly and earthly qi, like adding fuel to the fire, merged with the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, causing thunder and lightning to rage across the sky. The number of Chaotic Thunder Beads instantly swelled tenfold. The Karmic Bond Smoke also underwent a new transformation, its body expanding and turning an even deeper black.
Krek krek krek!
