This was not only reflected in its combat strength, but also in its extremely profound foundation. It had inherited part of the Immortal Venerable's own experience, and a single casually created killer move pushed Fang Yuan into a dead end again.
"Damn it, has the time come to use the Spring Autumn Cicada again?" Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and held on, a thought springing up in his mind.
The first aperture was filled with immense pressure, the surface of its walls covered in cobweb-like cracks.
The Spring Autumn Cicada hovered in the center, its body flickering with alternating yellow and green light.
Fang Yuan wasn't confident. The aperture had clearly reached its limit; it might shatter at any moment!
But he quickly dismissed the thought of using the Spring Autumn Cicada.
More and more of his Gu were being sealed, his firepower thinning out, gradually leaving Fang Yuan in a state of being beaten.
"Come on, fight back!" the Gu Masters laughed wildly.
"Scared now? If you've got the guts, come out and fight!" others sneered.
"You demon lord, you finally got what you deserve! Die!" someone cursed bitterly.
Watching Fang Yuan being suppressed by them, they felt immense pleasure.
Suddenly, Mo Yao's anxious voice rang in Fang Yuan's mind. "This is bad, boy Fang Yuan! Dead stiff black spots are appearing on your body. Death Qi has started to fully corrode your body. If the black spots spread all over, you will completely become the Six-Armed Heavenly Corpse King!"
An even worse situation had arisen.
The originally estimated time limit of half an hour had not yet passed, but Fang Yuan was already beginning to completely stiffen.
A completely stiffened body has been thoroughly soaked in Death Qi and cannot be restored.
Unless the Six-Armed Heavenly Corpse King killer move was immediately canceled, the dead stiff black spots would continue to spread.
"No. If I cancel the killer move, Giant Sun's Will might suddenly attack. At this close distance, I won't have time to react!" Fang Yuan shook his head, his expression extremely grave.
Although he had defensive Gu, these mortal Gu were nothing in front of Giant Sun's Will.
Only the Six-Armed Heavenly Corpse King allowed Fang Yuan to stand his ground.
Now, Giant Sun's Will hadn't delved deeply into the Wisdom Light, but only because the cost was too great and the gain too small.
Giant Sun's Will was absolutely capable of giving up.
To lure out the Seven Finger Fiend Lord, it had lost eight Immortal Gu in one fell swoop!
"If I cancel the killer move, Giant Sun's Will will most likely go all out and kill me. As long as I die, it can take back the Giant Sun Immortal Essence. I absolutely cannot take this risk!" Fang Yuan was determined.
"But, your body..." Mo Yao's tone was hesitant, full of worry.
Fang Yuan was silent, his gaze firm as iron.
The dead stiff black spots spread rapidly. At first, it was just a single dot on his back, but within just a dozen breaths, it had spread across his entire back.
The speed of the spread was getting faster and faster, soon eroding his chest into a deep, dark black.
Seeing this, the surrounding Gu Masters were all slightly stunned.
Giant Sun's Will laughed heartily. "I see. You have been in a zombie body for too long. The balance of Death Qi and Life Qi has been broken. Now that Death Qi is rampant, you will completely turn into a zombie, a living dead, neither human nor ghost, a monster whose cultivation will never advance another step!!"
Giant Sun's Will had vast experience and a broad vision, instantly seeing through Fang Yuan's situation.
The Gu Masters' morale instantly soared. Someone immediately laughed heartily, "Hahaha, an evil deed has its own recompense! Demon, you have committed countless atrocities. Landing in such a state is entirely your own doing!"
"We don't even need to make a move now, you're finished! Hmph, you people of the demonic path always crave power, throwing caution to the wind. Now you've finally tasted the bitter fruit. What a pity! Even if you struck it lucky and became an Immortal, you've still turned into a zombie, a monster in the end!"
"This is the consequence of playing tricks and scheming, harming the world, and opposing Giant Sun Ancestor, us, and the Righteous Path!"
Mo Yao's Will also tried to persuade him. "Fang Yuan, the price you pay for this is too great. In my opinion, Giant Sun's Will may not dare to come in. It has very little left! You have outstanding talent and peerless skill. You shouldn't end up like this! It's not too late to stop now. Once you completely become a Six-Armed Heavenly Corpse King, the hope of returning to a human form is too slim!"
Fang Yuan's gaze flickered frequently, his thoughts surging, his expression fluctuating.
But in the end, his clenched jaw did not loosen.
He had completely transformed into a Six-Armed Heavenly Corpse King!
The dead stiff black spots had turned his entire body pitch black. In his Strength Path immortal aperture, the previously clear world had turned into a murky, dark gray. The white stone mountains had collapsed into ruins. The sky was a gloomy gray, the earth decayed, with no trace of life left.
The first aperture was also completely silent. The crystal aperture wall no longer felt agile and translucent, as if it were nothing but a piece of gray stone.
But precisely because of this, the pressure brought by the Spring Autumn Cicada was no longer so precarious.
He had just become a Gu Immortal, and already degenerated into a corpse! All the accumulations of the past, all his various achievements, had come to nothing.
From then on, his cultivation would never advance another inch!
With no potential for further growth, from this point, the current Fang Yuan was inferior even to a mortal.
Even with Fang Yuan's iron will, he felt a wave of despondency.
The thought of using the Spring Autumn Cicada rose in his mind once more. "If I use the Spring Autumn Cicada, everything can start over. If I retreat in time, I can naturally do my best to avoid this situation!"
But Fang Yuan forcibly suppressed this thought.
The Great Harmony Wind Curtain was already very close. There was no sound of wind, it just silently spread, compressing the space, yet it brought an even heavier psychological pressure to everyone.
Fang Yuan faced the crowd from afar and suddenly made a shocking move — he completely stopped all of his Gu.
He had now completely become a Six-Armed Heavenly Corpse King, and no longer needed to rely on Gu to move his body.
