"Even if I still had my Strength Immortal Gu on me, Seventh Transformation combat power wouldn't even be worth mentioning. The most pressing matter right now is the Jinghong Chaotic Arena. The Southern Border Gu Immortals outside the Immortal-Sealing Forbidden Zone have already lost all hope of claiming this Immortal Gu House. But I still have a chance!"
"Only by leveraging the Jinghong Chaotic Arena can I have a hope of escaping alive! Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to use the Spring Autumn Cicada."
Fang Yuan's mind raced. He understood that his only opportunity was to become the new master of the Jinghong Chaotic Arena!
Although he had Fixed Immortal Travel on him.
But this Immortal Gu was stored inside his Immortal Orifice.
Immortal Gu auras were easily detected. Only by storing them within an Empty Orifice or Immortal Orifice could they be kept completely safe.
However, Fang Yuan's Immortal Orifice had already been sealed.
If Fang Yuan broke the seal while inside the Immortal-Sealing Forbidden Zone, he would be destroyed the very first instant. He wouldn't even be able to last three heartbeats to activate Fixed Immortal Travel.
But the Spring Autumn Cicada was different.
The Spring Autumn Cicada was Fang Yuan's first Life Gu, always sealed within his first Empty Orifice.
After all this time, the Spring Autumn Cicada had largely recovered. Even sealed under heavy restrictions, it was already putting enormous pressure on Fang Yuan's first Empty Orifice.
Before this trip, Fang Yuan had considered sealing Fixed Immortal Travel or other Immortal Gu and temporarily storing them in his first Empty Orifice as an insurance policy.
But it simply wouldn't work.
An Empty Orifice could hold a few mortal Gu, but a second Immortal Gu was absolutely out of the question.
"Even with Fixed Immortal Travel, I'm afraid..." Fang Yuan's gaze pierced through the clouds, fixed on the Ten Extremity Immortal Zombies and the Wusheng Gu Formation. Even breathing had become difficult.
Among the Southern Border Gu Immortals, there were Space Path Gu Immortals, and even Space Path Immortal-level killer moves. But every single one of them had been thoroughly surrounded.
Clearly, this grand formation encompassed the Space Path as well. Its defenses were impossibly tight, leaving absolutely no gap to exploit!
More and more Gu Immortals were dying tragically under the calamities.
All four Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals had already sustained injuries. Knowing that the longer they waited, the slimmer their chances became, they had no choice but to join forces and break through together.
"You turtles in a jar — where do you think you're going?" A black-robed Gu Immortal standing in their path sneered. His aura erupted, blowing his hood back.
"Beiming Ice Spirit Body!" Peng Shilong cried out in alarm.
Frigid energy spread rapidly as a crystal ice wall, dozens of zhang tall, materialized before them.
The four Immortals were blocked. Overhead, a bolt of lightning came crashing down toward them!
Snow Mourning Tribulation Lightning!
Normal Snow Mourning Tribulation Lightning was already one of the Ten Great Calamities. But this bolt split into over a dozen forks, multiplying its power dozens of times over!
As if pouring rain on a leaking roof, the four Immortals dared not take the hit head-on. One of them activated a Time Path killer move to slow the lightning, buying enough time for all four to relocate.
The Snow Mourning Tribulation Lightning's momentum continued unabated, smashing into the Beiming Ice Spirit Immortal Zombie's crystal ice wall.
A massive hole was blasted through the wall. The Beiming Ice Spirit Immortal Zombie let out a muffled grunt, immediately sustaining a light wound.
"Heavenly Will!" The Beiming Ice Spirit Immortal Zombie glared viciously at the sky.
The four Southern Border Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals changed course, slicing through the sky, and crashed toward another section of the Gu Formation.
"This road is closed." The black-robed Gu Immortal stationed at this formation node chuckled.
BOOM!
The two sides clashed violently, evenly matched with neither gaining ground.
The four Immortals were blocked and their charge came to an abrupt halt. The black-robed Gu Immortal didn't fare much better either.
"Carefree Wisdom Heart Body!"
Another Ten Extremity Immortal Zombie.
"You… you're the Shang Family's Shang Guicai!"
Peng Shilong's brows furrowed deeply as he recognized the black-robed Gu Immortal's identity.
"I have deep ties with the Shang Family's Supreme Elder. As a member of the Shang Family, you've actually joined an evil organization to bring chaos upon the world! A prodigal who returns is worth more than gold — it's not too late to turn back now! Otherwise, when disaster strikes, your family will be dragged down with you."
The black-robed Gu Immortal let out a disdainful sneer: "What do you know? Shang Guicai is merely an identity I obtained through soul transmigration. What is the petty Shang Family? How can it possibly compare to my grand design?!"
BOOM!
Another bolt of tribulation lightning crashed down, leaving the four Southern Border Immortals teetering on the brink.
"Stop wasting time with him — let's change direction again!"
"Yanhuang Thunder Swamp, Beiming Ice Spirit, Carefree Wisdom Heart… Ten Extremity Bodies that barely appear once in a century are showing up one right after another. This can't be a coincidence."
"This Gu Formation must be harnessing the Ten Extremity Bodies to achieve such tremendous power!"
"If that's the case, then he's the only weak point!"
After being intercepted by the Carefree Wisdom Heart Immortal Zombie, the four Immortals exchanged lightning-fast communications and instantly locked their gaze onto the young Gu Immortal, Ying Wuxie.
Of all the Gu Immortals present, he was the most unique.
Because he was a living human being, and the aura he emitted made it clear he was no Ten Extremity Body.
The four Immortals, grievously wounded, charged toward Ying Wuxie.
Ying Wuxie's heart immediately began pounding wildly. He shouted, "What do we do? What do we do? They're coming right at us!"
"Don't panic. Use your strongest technique," the black-robed Gu Immortal beside him immediately advised.
"I'm not panicking, I'm not panicking!" Ying Wuxie took a deep breath, but his breathing remained rapid.
As the four Immortals drew closer and closer, Ying Wuxie's mind flashed back to the moment of his birth.
He had been born from within a dream.
The first person he saw when he opened his eyes was the Inkstone Elder.
The Inkstone Elder smiled faintly, his dark eyes scanning Ying Wuxie up and down, his tone barely able to contain his admiration: "Good, good, good. Pure Dream Truth-Seeking Body — you are the crowning achievement of my Dream Path research! With Bo Qing dead, you will replace him as our strongest combat force, to suppress all opposition."
"Who are you, and who am I?" Ying Wuxie asked curiously.
"You are me, and I am you. I am the Inkstone Elder, and you… let's call you Ying Wuxie." The Inkstone Elder chuckled.
Then, with a leisurely sweep of his long sleeve, countless thoughts flooded into Ying Wuxie's mind.
