True Inheritance Secret Realm.
Ma Hongyun and Zhao Lianyun huddled together for survival, protected beneath the Supreme True Inheritance of the supreme fortune path, watching on in terror.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng controlled the Supreme True Inheritance that represented the ownership of the Eighty-Eight Corner True Yang Tower.
Between them, Hei Lou Lan and the others had formed a solid defensive line.
Behind Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, the River of Giant Sun's Will and the Flying Bear phantom image were locked in a desperate struggle.
And further beyond, the main body of Giant Sun's Will enveloped the Eighty-Eight Corner True Yang Tower, forcibly enduring the terrifying Heavenly Tribulations and Earthly Disasters, protecting the safety of Giant Sun's Legacy.
Hearing that Fang Yuan still had a trump card, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was naturally overjoyed, and he hurriedly urged, "Junior brother! What trump card do you actually have? Use it quickly!"
Fang Yuan smiled bitterly. "Senior brother Tai Bai, circumstances have forced my hand — using this trump card is truly a measure of last resort. I can only hope that at the critical moment, you'll keep me safe."
"We share the same lineage — that goes without saying!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng immediately made his promise.
Fang Yuan nodded, then added, "Senior brother, Giant Sun's Will originates from Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. You must never underestimate it. If it says anything to instigate distrust later on and I'm unable to speak to refute it, you absolutely must not believe it!"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng considered for a moment. "Junior brother, we're family here — no need for second words. Rest easy. But listening to your tone, it seems this trump card comes with considerable risks. If the odds aren't in our favor, perhaps we should just use Fixed Immortal Travel and withdraw!"
Fang Yuan's face broke into a confident smile. "Ha ha! Senior brother, relax — this trump card's power is without equal. Even the main body of Giant Sun's Will will be made to suffer. Just watch."
The two exchanged their words without using Gu Insects to conceal their conversation.
Everyone present was an expert and heard every word clearly. Their suspicion and alarm only deepened.
"A trump card that can make the main body of Giant Sun's Will suffer? What could it possibly be?" Hei Lou Lan's brow furrowed deeply. Though he appeared rough and brash, he was in fact shrewd, and he did not rush to charge in for the kill.
Before the eyes of all, Fang Yuan slowly closed both of his eyes, and his palms — pressed tight against the Supreme True Inheritance — gradually withdrew.
The moment he pulled back, the pressure on Tai Bai Yun Sheng exploded several times over!
Tai Bai Yun SHeng was startled by Fang Yuan's action, but fortunately Fang Yuan had warned him beforehand. He frantically poured in all his strength, barely holding back the ferocious expansion of the Giant Sun's Will from the other side.
"Junior brother, use your trump card now — I can't hold on much longer!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng shouted, beads of sweat rolling down his face and forehead.
In the span of just a few breaths, the golden radiance on the light sphere of the Supreme True Inheritance expanded wildly, swelling to the size of a washbasin!
How terrifyingly fast!
"Just what are you hiding in there!" Seeing this display, Hei Lou Lan and the others became even more reluctant to rush forward.
However, they waited for over a dozen breaths and still saw no fearsome attack from Fang Yuan.
The battlefield fell into a strange, eerie silence.
Neither side spoke. All that could be heard was the whooshing sound of True Inheritances flying through the air, and occasionally the thunderous crash of them colliding!
"Damn it — we've been tricked!" Ye Lu Sang erupted in fury. "This scoundrel disguised as Chang Shan Yin is cunning beyond measure! He's clearly backed into a corner with no way out, his tricks exhausted, yet he still puts on that air of unfathomable mystery!"
"Everyone, attack! Kill this audacious conspirator!" Beside him, Gu family patriarch Gu Guo Long shouted in agreement.
But Hei Lou Lan, the leader, did not move.
Not only did he not move, but his expression grew grave.
"Could it be...?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng also looked toward Fang Yuan in uneasy surprise. Being closest, he felt an invisible, immense force of heaven and earth suddenly forming, enveloping Fang Yuan and lifting him, carrying him in a slow, ascending trajectory.
He was deeply familiar with this force of heaven and earth — he himself had experienced it not long before.
"Junior brother — are you shattering your orifices to ascend to immortality right now!?"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's words stunned everyone present.
A Gu Master transcending the mortal world and stepping onto the immortal path was an endeavor of nine deaths in ten tries. That Fang Yuan would recklessly shatter his orifices and charge toward the Gu Immortal realm in the midst of such a crisis —
"Has this fellow lost his mind?"
"He can't even read the situation properly — has he gone mad?"
"Is it possible that he sees no hope of victory and is choosing this peculiar way to seek death?"
Doubts surged through Ye Lu Sang and the others' hearts.
But in the very next instant, a roar of extreme fury from the Giant Sun's Will resounded throughout the entire True Inheritance Secret Realm: "Fang Yuan! You will die a wretched death!! To shatter your orifices at this very moment, triggering Heavenly Tribulation and Earthly Disaster!! Your scheming runs so deep — you are determined to destroy the True Yang Tower. Descendants, kill this sinner immediately! The Heavenly Tribulation and Earthly Disaster have already begun to shift!"
Unlike its previous roars, this time, beneath the towering rage, the voice of Giant Sun's Will actually carried a note of panic.
The fusion and transformation of multiple Heavenly Tribulations and Earthly Disasters was far from the simple arithmetic of one plus one.
The Decade Great Snow Calamity had brought disaster across the entire Northern Plains — its range was vast, but its destructive force was limited. Even ordinary mortals could endure it by sheltering in certain特殊的 terrain.
The Chaos Lightning Spheres and Bonding Wolf Smoke left behind when Tai Bai Yun Sheng ascended were the most effective against will-based entities, yet even they posed merely a significant nuisance to the Giant Sun's Will.
But once those two merged together, they had given rise to Snow Mourning Tribulation Lightning!
This was one of the Ten Great Calamities.
The power of this tribulation lightning was terrifying, and the Giant Sun's Will had paid a heavy price to withstand it.
Now, on top of the Snow Mourning Tribulation Lightning, new Heavenly Tribulations and Earthly Disasters were being added. Once these two forces of calamity fused and produced yet another transformation, their power would be utterly beyond compare!
Even the Giant Sun's Will felt fear!!
After all, it was merely a deliberate vestige left behind by an Immortal Venerable. Though it could slay Gu Immortals, before the might of heaven and earth, it was but a candle against the sun.
"Hurry — the ancestor has spoken! Let us attack together!"
"Follow me — kill the two of them!"
"Warriors of the Northern Plains, grind these two outsiders to dust!"
Hei Lou Lan and the others, jolted awake by the command of the Giant Sun's Will, charged forward in a frenzy.
Before they even arrived, various Gu Insects had already unleashed overwhelming offensive waves. Force phantoms, hideous fire serpents, piercing sword light, pure white frost and snow... all manner of attacks converged together, forming a dazzling, multicolored streak of radiance.
Lethal killing intent bore down upon them, yet Tai Bai Yun Sheng could not spare even a sliver of concentration, devoting every ounce of his being to resisting the expansion of the Giant Sun's Will within the True Inheritance's light sphere.
Fang Yuan opened his eyes. He directed the Flying Bear phantom image while simultaneously activating his killing move.
Six-Armed Heavenly Corpse King!
In an instant, he transformed into an eight-armed monster, his aura erupting, his fighting spirit blazing.
The Flying Bear phantom image let out a miserable howl and used its enormous body as a meat shield, blocking the combined onslaught of Hei Lou Lan and the others.
The River of Giant Sun's Will, having regained its freedom, immediately lunged toward Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan shielded Tai Bai Yun Sheng, neither dodging nor evading, and met the River of Giant Sun's Will head-on.
