Chapter 1141

Fang Yuan quietly activates a time path killer move on the upper extreme heavenly eagle. Its body ages rapidly, leaving it extremely unwell and ravenous, so a paired killer move lets it eat madly in the heavenly crystal eagle nest. The method is flawed: its sudden strength will make the eagle harder to control, and it might not manage even thirty percent of its own strength. Fang Yuan has no other choice. ^{ch. 1141}

Fang Yuan keeps activating myriad self to stall for time, disguised by familiar face among the strength path phantoms. Each batch lasts only a breath or two before it is destroyed, and his essence dwindles fast against the nine enemies’ reserves. Some of the five rank six Gu Immortals taunt him, vainly trying to shake a will firmer than steel, while the four rank sevens stay silent. He keeps stalling, refusing to reveal himself until the very last moment. ^{ch. 1141}

The eagle grows rapidly, already showing a trace of an ancient desolate beast’s aura, and its nest is more than half eaten. Its growth remains far from enough. It is the key to this battle, and once Fang Yuan brings it out, a failed breakthrough leaves him no second chance. ^{ch. 1141}

A female Gu Immortal, Xue Er, finds him, tracking the leaking aura of his repeated killer moves. Fang Yuan flees for the sky at once. Frost freezes his original spot into ice the size of a pavilion, and her great-grandmother, a rank seven Gu Immortal, praises her success. ^{ch. 1141}

Another rank seven Gu Immortal shouts and charges, extremely fast. Fang Yuan recognizes the one who threw the earlier ice spear, and two ice spears condense in his hands for close combat. Fang Yuan cannot outrun him: thin grey clouds now slow his own body, while the enemy’s speed seems to increase. ^{ch. 1141}

Forced into close combat, Fang Yuan’s left arm and stomach are pierced within several exchanges, heavily injuring Blood Asset Immortal Gu. Large amounts of fragmentary ice and snow path dao marks engrave the wounds and make them hard to heal. Cold air enters his limbs and bones, lowering his speed further. The sovereign immortal body’s disadvantage, its lack of conflicting dao marks, shows itself for the first time. ^{ch. 1141}

Fang Yuan abruptly switches to blood torrent, curving bizarrely to dodge a two pronged strike, and reveals his blood path cultivation. The other Gu Immortals condemn him as a sinner. One admits to having been somewhat suspicious of that earlier defensive killer move. ^{ch. 1141}

Fang Yuan counters with a giant hand at point blank range, but the enemy pierces straight through it with both spears. His extremely outstanding defense lets him take the risk. He keeps closing in, his two spears weaving into dense shadows that display a close combat Gu Immortal’s attack speed. ^{ch. 1141}

Forced only to dodge and barely able to continue, Fang Yuan is worn down until the enemy finds a gap and drives a spear through his heart. Believing the fight over, the enemy relaxes slightly. Fang Yuan erupts, using Man as Before to heal the fatal wound, and strikes back with Dark Assassination, seemingly winning. ^{ch. 1141}

The enemy’s head, though struck, proves completely formed of grey cloud rather than flesh, and scatters before reforming. Not knowing the battlefield’s mechanism, he has misjudged, and the Man as Before he concealed for this opening is spent for nothing. Fang Yuan hears the name grey cloud battle puppet for the first time and calls it a truly fierce battlefield killer move. Its wielder proudly credits Lady Earth Mother with creating it. ^{ch. 1141}

Fang Yuan checks his aperture: the upper extreme heavenly eagle has grown into an immemorial desolate beast, but its heavenly crystals are finished and it is starving near death. He tries to feed it other things. It keeps its mouth shut, and his last trace of hope collapses. Inside this battlefield the enemies cannot die, and the dragon immemorial desolate beast still has not moved. ^{ch. 1141}

The dual spear Gu Immortal, calling Fang Yuan a worthy adversary, asks for his name. Fang Yuan instead names his status, a supreme elder of Lang Ya blessed land and a variant human, and argues that variant humans should stop fighting each other. The enemy is extremely surprised that Fang Yuan knows their identities. The others cry to kill him at once, and the dual spear Gu Immortal scoffs that he is plainly a human, no hairy man. He drives his spears forward, and the exposure wins neither hearing nor belief. ^{ch. 1141}
