A pale blue light reflected on his face.
His entire field of vision was filled with a huge, pale blue hand.
The Wuxiang Hand didn't pause at all, it grabbed down with force and clenched into a fist, completely enveloping Fang Yuan's figure.
"Junior brother!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng exclaimed loudly.
But the next moment, this Six-Fingered Wuxiang Fist loosened, turning into an open palm.
Fang Yuan's figure appeared five hundred steps away.
So the Six-Fingered Wuxiang Hand had missed.
It was the Sparkle Gu!
This Gu was a Space Path movement Gu. Although it was Rank Five, it was still extremely rare. Fang Yuan had spent a lot of effort to barely acquire it from Treasure Yellow Heaven.
"Huff..." Tai Bai Yun Sheng sighed in relief as he saw this, the heavy stone that had been lifted in his heart finally falling.
He knew that Fang Yuan had just come out and had suffered from the lack of reaction time. In truth, with his mastery of flight, dodging these Wuxiang Hands was not a problem.
"That was close!" Fang Yuan was truly drenched in cold sweat.
He understood the Wuxiang Hands better than the others, and thus knew exactly how dangerous that had been!
"The Wuxiang Hand is Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's signature killer move, ranging from one finger to nine fingers, capable of stealing Gu worms from Rank One to Rank Nine! Regardless of whether they are lifebound Gu or not, they will be seized without exception. If that Six-Fingered Wuxiang Hand had just now actually grabbed me, I would definitely have lost either the Spring Autumn Cicada or the Fixed Immortal Travel... My luck is truly too poor, for such a Heavenly Tribulation Earthly Calamity to appear!"
Fang Yuan flew with all his might, dodging the pursuit of the Wuxiang Hands while observing his surroundings.
The True Inheritance Secret Realm had completely descended into massive chaos.
True Inheritance Meteors and Wuxiang Hands filled his vision, and Gu Masters were flying everywhere in panic. Some were dodging the Wuxiang Hands, others were screaming in agony as their Gu were snatched away, while others were desperately attacking the Wuxiang Fists.
"It seems they've already discovered it! Once the Wuxiang Hand captures a Gu, it clenches into a fist. At that moment, it can be broken! But when it is open like a palm, it is almost immune to all attacks and can only be dodged."
Information regarding the Wuxiang Hand surfaced in Fang Yuan's mind.
He was very familiar with the Wuxiang Hands.
All because of his past life five hundred years ago. Ma Hongyun had successively obtained parts of the inheritance of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, also gaining methods similar to capturing Gu. He had used them many times during the War of the Five Regions, causing many powerful enemies to stumble and flee in defeat.
Fang Yuan had therefore done a lot of research on them.
Fang Yuan continuously dodged, utilizing the Sparkle Gu, the Wind Flower Gu, the Eagle Soaring Gu, and others one after another, finally creating enough distance to make the pursuing Six-Fingered Wuxiang Hand change its target.
He immediately diverted a portion of his mental energy and invested it into the Immortal Aperture within his body.
There were remnants of Heavenly Earth Qi within the True Inheritance Secret Realm.
Since Fang Yuan had come out, his Immortal Aperture had been frantically absorbing this Heavenly Earth Qi, growing at an alarming rate.
Soon, the space of the Immortal Aperture had expanded to over three million mu and was still increasing.
At the same time, the flow of time within the Immortal Aperture changed compared to the outside world of the Northern Plains, climbing from the original ratio of one to one to one to six.
"Damn." After inspecting, Fang Yuan suddenly frowned, his expression slightly changing.
The changes in the Immortal Aperture were normal. The problem occurred in the First Aperture, or more precisely, with the Spring Autumn Cicada.
The Spring Autumn Cicada was recovering at an incredible speed, a huge pressure spreading out, and the First Aperture could no longer bear it!
"Not good! When the Immortal Aperture is being generated, it isn't just about spatial expansion, but also the change in the flow of time. The reason for the latter is that the Immortal Aperture has become a small world, drawing in a tributary of the River of Time! The Spring Autumn Cicada feeds on the waters of the River of Time. Now that it's the first to get a taste, it has swallowed quite a bit of the river water, accelerating its recovery!"
Fang Yuan understood the situation in an instant.
Since its last successful use, which was purely by chance, the Spring Autumn Cicada had been slowly recovering.
The journey in the Northern Plains had taken a long time. The Spring Autumn Cicada was gradually recovering, and the pressure it exerted on the First Aperture was increasing day by day.
Originally, the First Aperture was already at the peak of Rank Five. According to Fang Yuan's estimates, it could still hold out for a while. But this sudden change had greatly advanced the deadline!
Ever since his rebirth, the Spring Autumn Cicada had always been Fang Yuan's hidden danger. Now that Fang Yuan was ascending to Immortality, this hidden danger had immediately expanded into a serious internal threat, directly shoved in front of Fang Yuan's eyes.
"Damn it." Fang Yuan gritted his teeth tightly, and his body abruptly plummeted. A Wuxiang Hand only brushed past his hair, missing its target.
In this situation, Fang Yuan was helpless for the time being.
The Immortal Aperture absolutely had to be formed, or all his efforts would be in vain. Without the power of a Gu Immortal, there was no way to continue contending.
But the Spring Autumn Cicada definitely couldn't be neglected either.
Crack...
A loud sound echoed in the True Inheritance Secret Realm, as if something essential had shattered, the noise making everyone's heart palpitate.
Everyone's momentum slightly stalled, and amidst their frantic actions, they looked up.
The True Inheritance Secret Realm, like an eggshell that had been struck, was forming countless cracks. The cracks rapidly expanded, and the light from the outside shone in through them.
At the same time, many more Wuxiang Hands squeezed in through the cracks. Seven-Fingered ones appeared.
Seeing so many huge pale blue hands, many Gu Masters exclaimed in shock.
"So many huge hands, why are there so many?"
"Damn, look, a seven-fingered giant hand is squeezing in!"
More and more pale blue hands flew into the True Inheritance Secret Realm, making everyone's situation even more precarious.
Hei Lou Lan's face was as dark as water. Even Tai Bai Yun Sheng felt a strong sense of oppression in his heart.
A Flying Master wasn't omnipotent.
So many Wuxiang Hands greatly increased the difficulty of flying and dodging.
Moreover, prolonged defense inevitably leads to failure. When constantly under such high tension, who didn't have moments of error?
"Damn!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's heart sank. What he feared had come. At a critical moment, he had made a mistake.
Having lost his last opportunity, six Wuxiang Hands sealed off his only remaining escape route.
At this critical juncture, Tai Bai Yun Sheng gritted his teeth and charged directly towards a Three-Fingered Wuxiang Hand.
