Chapter 1354

Fang Yuan resolves to destroy Shadow Sect now, since as long as they survive they will keep hunting him for his sovereign immortal fetus Gu, and eliminating them would also remove his weakness in Connect Luck. Shadow Sect and his own righteous path allies alike have no idea that Wu Yi Hai is Fang Yuan. This is his best chance yet. With his sovereign immortal aperture giving him the world’s greatest foundation, and the dream realm to cultivate with, he expects unimaginable cultivation, battle strength and wealth five hundred years from now, not yet knowing the great era is already close. Capturing Spectral Soul’s main body would yield the Demon Venerable’s memories, and lead soul into dream, the move he wants most, would with unravel dream and guts Gu put him ahead of the whole world in dream realm exploration, Heavenly Court included. ^{ch. 1354}

Fairy Miao Yin’s arms grow to six, and she still deadlocks Qiao Si Liu. The righteous path’s Yi Hei Ting kills a fleeing demonic Gu Immortal with lightning, and Tie Xin Jian, having read all three attackers’ moves, beheads them with three flashes of sword qi. Badly injured but laughing, Hei Lou Lan mocks the rank seven Shang Guai Li as he decides to retreat, then flames burst from his mouth and other orifices and burn him to death. Bai Ning Bing is stronger than Hei Lou Lan, holding Bai Xiang’s true inheritance while ice and snow path Immortal Gu suit her Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique, and she has already killed at a price the backup Chai Huo Xiong called for. Chai Huo Xiong fights on only because leaving the field would make him Zuo Ye Hui’s food. Ba De sends Tie Xin Jian to help him, but Bai Ning Bing’s ice shatter death kills Chai Huo Xiong the moment his guard slips, and she offers to show Tie Xin Jian the same move. ^{ch. 1354}

Ba De’s heart sinks at the loss, rating her rank six cultivation no bar to a battle strength that stands high even among rank sevens. Ba De judges the righteous path still ahead despite the loss and despite leaning on the damaged third layer of the Gu formation, since Shadow Sect has taken even more deaths, its morale has fallen and some of its people are wavering. He counts only four true experts on the enemy side, Lady White Rabbit, Demoness Miao Yin, the dragon lady Bai Ning Bing and the fire path rank six Hei Lou Lan, and reasons that killing any one would deal their morale a huge blow. His attention returns to Fang Yuan, still motionless inside his tortoise shell. Three hundred thousand tortoise shell thoughts now sweep the battlefield and push Black Tigress far back. Ba De demands over transmission that he stop hiding and kill her to force an opening, but the tortoise does not answer. ^{ch. 1354}

Chi Gui rises with a joyful look and reports the deduction finished, ready to arrange and activate the second layer, whose deeper position gives the super Gu formation defense enough to block grey night. Relieved, Ba De looks to Zuo Ye Hui, still resting motionless and exhausted, the legendary immemorial desolate beast that worries him most. He feels the fight now favors the righteous path. Fang Yuan is far less certain, uneasy that Purple Mountain True Monarch still has not appeared. ^{ch. 1354}
