Chapter 122: The Start Of Refinement
Fang Yuan reduced Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage's power purposely.
At once, the situation changed.
Fang Yuan's Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage was suppressed by four Immortal Gu Houses.
Inside Heaven Overseeing Tower, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord's eyes were shining with white light that gradually faded.
He used Heaven Overseeing Tower earlier to make a deduction, it had just ended.
He snorted coldly: "The person inside Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage has deep foundation in Wisdom path or has great methods against deductions, I wasn't able to deduce any information regarding him."
Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord said solemnly: "We do not know the relationship between the person inside Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage and Shadow Sect, but we cannot take a risk, if Shadow Sect obtains the Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie then it will be a huge thorn."
Everyone, come with me, activate Heaven Overseeing Tower and destroy the formation, ruin the enemy's scheme!"
Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord called out and everyone responded, they were full of intent to fight.
The Heavenly Court Gu Immortals around him all had stern expressions, they attacked together.
A beam of light shot towards the ten extreme formation.
"I wanted to use Fang Yuan to prevent the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals from attacking, so as to stall for time. It seems that such a shallow scheme cannot deceive these Heavenly Court members. Attack!" Seven Star Child ordered as he thought over Shadow Sect's situation.
"Good, Heavenly Court is attacking." Fang Yuan started to feel joy when he saw three more Immortal Gu Houses emerging!
The three Immortal Gu Houses worked together to resist the attack from Heaven Overseeing Tower.
"Good, good, good. Sacred Feather City, Unbreakable Iron Fortress, Blood River Chariot, Nightmare Castle, Green Wave Pavilion, Weaving Cocoon Manor, Golden Altar… seven Immortal Gu Houses were forced out by my one move." From inside Heaven Overseeing Tower, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord's voice could be heard.
"Now then, we will let you see the might of Heaven Overseeing Tower!"
Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord shouted as the heavens shook.
Rank nine Immortal Gu House, Heaven Overseeing Tower, activated fully.
There was no warning.
The sky turned white!
The world turned white!
Even Fang Yuan, who was inside Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, at this moment, could only see white.
Light was everywhere.
When the white light faded, Fang Yuan regained his senses slowly.
Taking a look, his body shook.
In the sky, debris of these Immortal Gu Houses was falling down.
The falling debris turned back into countless Gu worms as they fell.
Not a single Gu worm survived.
The corpses of these Gu worms fell in the air, scattering everywhere.
The three Immortal Gu Houses closest to Heaven Overseeing Tower, Green Wave Pavilion, Weaving Cocoon Manor, and Golden Altar had broken apart. The remaining Immortal Gu Houses were also heavily damaged.
But overall, Fang Yuan's Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage had suffered the least damage.
"Hmph! An Otherworldly Demon…" Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord gave Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage a look as he directed his attention towards the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation.
In contrast, from the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation, Ying Wu Xie had flown out, his spot was taken over by the rank eight Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie.
"After being suppressed for so many years, I face such a great enemy upon escaping. Hahaha, I like it!" The rank eight Great Strength True Martial immortal zombie raised his head and laughed.
He pointed at Heaven Overseeing Tower, shouting: "Scoundrels from Heavenly Court, come! Celebrate my resurrection!"
The fully completed ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation activated!
Dark clouds formed, covering the entire battlefield, spreading out endlessly at a rapid speed.
All ten of the extreme immortal zombies were hidden in the dark clouds, their traces were gone.
Countless immortal apertures were drawn out by the mystical power of the formation, they resembled starlight.
These immortal apertures were left behind after the Southern Border Gu Immortals died.
The immortal apertures went into the deep part of the dark clouds and gathered.
Countless Gu worms, both Immortal and mortal, were flying about inside the dark clouds.
At this point, Fang Yuan smiled coldly: "The refinement of Sovereign Immortal Fetus Gu is soon going to start."
"You actually activated this formation in front of us?! Even though you were once invincible in the world, you are already dead now. If you do not respect us, so be it, but such a heaven defying act to transgress against heaven's will, how can we let you succeed?"
Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord shouted, gathering the strength of the Heavenly Court immortals to use Heaven Overseeing Tower's strongest attack again.
"Endure it!" The Shadow Sect immortals, who had predicted, this activated their Immortal Gu Houses and charged up.
After recovering his senses, Fang Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face was purple-gold in color.
Taking another look, Fang Yuan saw that the Immortal Gu Houses Unbreakable Iron Fortress, Blood River Chariot, and Nightmare Castle had broken apart, turning into fragments and falling from the sky.
Fang Yuan's Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage had also suffered huge losses even though it was inside the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation. Up to a thousand mortal Gu had died, two Immortal Gu were on the verge of death, they already could not be used. Three out of seven of the duel stage's edges had broken apart.
Heaven Overseeing Tower was surrounded in white light once again.
The white light gathered and became thicker, when it accumulated to its maximum capacity, it would unleash fate's strongest attack again. By then, the ten extreme formation would definitely be breached.
Whoosh…!
With a burst of wind, Sacred Feather City moved towards Fang Yuan to crash into him.
He craftily maneuvered Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, dodging everywhere.
Boom!
Suddenly, Heaven Overseeing Tower shook immensely, the accumulated white light exploded and vanished.
Heaven Overseeing Tower was covered in blemishes, it was heavily damaged.
The Heavenly Court Gu Immortals in the tower were spitting out blood, facing the damage of the backlash.
In Sacred Feather City, Seven Star Child's voice could be heard: "Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, you fell for our trap."
At this moment, in Sacred Feather City, there were more than ten Shadow Sect Gu Immortals, with immortal zombie Seven Star Child, immortal zombie Bo Qing, and Ying Wu Xie at the lead.
The other six Immortal Gu Houses were destroyed, but Shadow Sect's Gu Immortals used some space path method to escape, gathering in this final Immortal Gu House, Sacred Feather City.
Inside Heaven Overseeing Tower, the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals reacted one by one.
"Heaven Overseeing Tower is a rank nine Immortal Gu House, how can it be damaged so heavily?"
"Earlier, Shadow Sect did not strike, that means Heaven Overseeing Tower itself has a problem!"
"There are traitors in Heavenly Court!" Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord's expression was grim as he looked at Bi Chen Tian and Lian Jiu Sheng fixedly.
After Sword Immortal Bo Qing awakened, sword lights rampaged over Central Continent, one had cut Heaven Overseeing Tower.
To prevent the sword qi from destroying more Gu worms and causing bigger damage, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord had repaired it with Bi Chen Tian and Lian Jiu Sheng.
Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord had no issues of course, thus, the traitor was either Bi Chen Tian or Lian Jiu Sheng.
Hearing Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord's words, the other Gu Immortals reacted, quickly moving away from these two suspects, encircling them in the process.
"Wait! How can I be a traitor from Shadow Sect?!" Bi Chen Tian's expression was shocked and furious, he defended himself: "To join Heavenly Court, there are countless trials to go through. Heavenly Court has already existed for three million years, since when had any traitors appeared? Maybe this is a method from Shadow Sect, the urgent matter now is to destroy this refinement path formation!
We must not fall for Shadow Sect's scheme of sowing dissension!!"
Bi Chen Tian's expression was sincere, his anxiety could not be concealed.
"Hahaha…" Lian Jiu Sheng beside him laughed loudly, his expression was dark as he looked around, speaking eerily: "Precisely because it was created three million years ago, any strict test or trial is already too outdated. How hard can it be to infiltrate Heavenly Court?"
"Lian Jiu Sheng, you!" Bi Chen Tian shouted, taking a step back in shock.
"So Lian Jiu Sheng is the traitor!"
"Are you Lian Jiu Sheng, or someone else?"
Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals were preparing themselves for a fight, but nobody made a move yet.
"Lian Jiu Sheng never existed in the first place. You want to stop me? Not even the rank nine Immortal Gu House can succeed! Hehehe, survive this first."
Saying this, Lian Jiu Sheng died!
A large burst of green wind blew out from within him.
"Winds of assimilation!"
With his identity exposed, Lian Jiu Sheng immediately suicided, destroying his immortal aperture and creating the winds of assimilation.
Before the winds of assimilation grew any further, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord and the others spent a great deal of effort to quickly quell the winds.
But Lian Jiu Sheng's death did not simply only create this wind.
The united Heavenly Court Gu Immortals were starting to have trust issues.
"Heavenly Court's investigative methods have not been modified for many years. According to 'his' ability, it is not impossible to infiltrate Heavenly Court." A Heavenly Court Gu Immortal said gravely.
"Is Heaven Overseeing Tower's damage severe?" More people were concerned about this.
Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord shook his head: "Forty percent of Heaven Overseeing Tower was destroyed. We cannot use the attack from earlier again. If we attempt to force its use, it will only lead to Heaven Overseeing Tower breaking apart!"
After Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord said that, he sighed deeply.
"Everyone, the traitor is already exposed, why are you still encircling me?" Bi Chen Tian could not bear to remain in this state, he asked this.
The immortals finally reacted, apologizing as they left the encirclement.
But Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals were not completely trusting of Bi Chen Tian, some of their gazes towards him carried deep suspicion.
Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord saw this and was alarmed and fearful, he quickly spoke to control the situation: "Everyone! Listen to me, do not be suspicious of one another. Lian Jiu Sheng was merely exaggerating, if he could continue to lurk, how could he expose himself? If Heavenly Court had many spies, Heaven Overseeing Tower would have been destroyed long ago, why would they only reach this point?"
The morale of the immortals rose, realizing at once.
"So close, we almost fell for their scheme."
"Tower Lord is right, it is Shadow Sect's limit to achieve this much!"
"If Lian Jiu Sheng could really resist our investigative methods, why would he expose himself and suicide? He had no confidence, this shows that our methods are still useful."
"Let's not consider how Lian Jiu Sheng got into Heavenly Court for now. The urgent matter now is the formation down there. Heaven Overseeing Tower might have lost its strongest attack, but we still have hope, as long as we work together, the power of a rank nine Immortal Gu House can still destroy their schemes!"
Heaven Overseeing Tower was activated, crashing down like a meteor.
Shadow Sect did not block it, they opened a gap in the formation and allowed Heaven Overseeing Tower to get in.
Inside the formation, three Immortal Gu Houses engaged in a chaotic battle.
Even though the rank nine Heaven Overseeing Tower was heavily damaged, it was still an overlord, it charged around with an unstoppable might.
Shadow Sect used the power of Sacred Feather City and the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation to barely contest with Heaven Overseeing Tower.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan was maneuvering Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, with evasion as his priority.
"No need to be hasty, as long as we are inside the formation, the other party needs to focus their attention on Heaven Overseeing Tower. The longer we drag, the stronger the calamities and tribulations, and the higher our chances of winning." Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord looked at the situation and explained to the Heavenly Court immortals.
"Stall!" Inside Sacred Feather City, immortal zombie Bo Qing called out.
Seven Star Child continued: "That's right, we have Ying Wu Xie. The longer we drag this on, the higher his cultivation level, and the stronger his dream path killer move. Dream path is beyond this era, even Heaven Overseeing Tower cannot defend against it. Against dream path attacks, it would have almost no defense."
"Are you talking about me?" Ying Wu Xie stared with wide opened eyes, pointing at himself.
Seven Star Child nodded: "Even Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord cannot deduce your actual situation. The only concern now is, the higher your cultivation level, the more sophisticated your killer move, lead soul into dream, becomes. But this immortal killer move needs more Gu worms to become stronger, the activation process also becomes more complex.
You need to use it properly, there cannot be a mistake."
Ying Wu Xie breathed in deeply, waving his hands with a fearful look: "Uncle zombie, I am getting nervous after hearing that."
