Huang Shi's Pursuit
A huge sudden spring erupts under Lord Huang Shi in midair, and such eruptions slow everything nearby to make escape harder, but he restores himself completely, retreats, and it crashes back as a huge wave. This sudden spring holds the power of a rank eight killer move, and a hit would leave even Huang Shi with great injuries. He reasons a rank nine sudden spring would definitely leave him gravely injured, perhaps dead. He wonders whether Fang Yuan used reverse flow protection seal to survive them. That would greatly drain Fang Yuan’s immortal essence and aid Huang Shi later. Knowing Fang Yuan holds luck path methods and a comprehensive all living beings luck true inheritance, and that this segment turns on luck as much as strength, Huang Shi expects his own pursuit to go badly, since it runs against Fang Yuan’s benefit. ch. 1432
In truth Fang Yuan enslaved an immemorial year monkey as his shield with hundred and eighty slaves. Heavenly Court does not know it. The court credits his control of the upper extreme heavenly eagle, a rank eight existence commanded at rank seven cultivation, to Hei Fan’s true inheritance, and never deduces the years flow like water Immortal Gu’s flaw that draws immemorial year beasts to him. ch. 1432
Clear of the sudden springs and guided again by Fairy Zi Wei, Huang Shi reaches a huge dark web spider resting on a vast crystal nest woven from peaceful time threads that freeze weaker beings on contact. Each thread freezes any rank seven or lower existence; a single one cannot affect Huang Shi, but a hundred together would put even him in grave danger, and the spider itself is an immemorial desolate beast ruling its own territory. He concludes Fang Yuan chose this route to target him. Rather than take a long detour that would cost him time, and with Red Lotus’ true inheritance perhaps lying inside the nest, he decides to cross it. Moving carefully past the threads, he is caught out when a loud explosion alerts the spider, and only after an intense battle does he break free of its territory. He leaves covered in dust and with minor injuries, convinced Fang Yuan laid the trap deliberately. ch. 1432
Treating his wounds as he flies on, Huang Shi enters a river segment thick with sword qi and blade light, and his investigation places it in the Late Antiquity Era, roughly a hundred thousand years upstream. He identifies it as the site of an intense clash between Western Desert’s Xi Yuan and the blade path demonic immortal Dao Jiu Lang. Xi Yuan, a sword path cultivator, created sword abyss and killed three rank eight Gu Immortals, while Dao Jiu Lang rampaged in Western Desert with overwhelming demonic might and broke the expulsion formation. Their fight caused great destruction. The clash left the segment more dangerous than the sudden spring stretch, since Xi Yuan’s or Dao Jiu Lang’s remnant killer moves can appear without the warning a sudden spring gives. ch. 1432
Since Fang Yuan’s group could enter, Huang Shi cannot back down as a rank eight great expert, and he grits his teeth and enters. Fairy Zi Wei guides him closer. He finds an immemorial year monkey fighting amid the turbulent waves, bleeding and covered in wounds, while Bai Ning Bing, Fairy Miao Yin and the rest defend themselves atop it. Huang Shi charges at them at once. ch. 1432
