Chapter 1713

Five Deity Hall is blown to smithereens in a huge fire, and Five Elements Grandmaster, unharmed, goes into Calamity Luck Altar. He says he knows the hall’s concept well and his methods directly counter it. Bing Sai Chuan answers that Five Elements Grandmaster’s formation path methods are part of Ancestor Giant Sun’s arrangements. Read in reverse, the last words of his inheritance’s key sentences tell him to heed Bing Sai Chuan and attack Heavenly Court. ^{ch. 1713}

Ancestor Giant Sun planned today’s invasion after visiting Heavenly Court, and the method against Five Deity Hall was part of it. He left it independent of Longevity Heaven for a lone cultivator to develop, so Heavenly Court would not link the invasion to a man outside his bloodline. Bing Sai Chuan adds that the battle over fate Gu is a fight of past venerables across time and space. Rank six and seven Gu Immortals cannot even join, and rank eights are merely pawns, some refusing to take part and others ignorant of the true situation. Five Elements Grandmaster is deeply shocked, and his pride vanishes. ^{ch. 1713}

Bing Sai Chuan says time has altered most venerables’ arrangements, and later venerables have modified many. Giant Sun followed Genesis Lotus and Thieving Heaven and preceded Spectral Soul and Paradise Earth, and his edge over the first two explains the attack’s success so far. Bing Sai Chuan says Longevity Heaven will definitely obtain fate Gu in this expedition. Five Elements Grandmaster finally grasps the objective. Bing Sai Chuan openly admits it and notes Heavenly Court came for Longevity Heaven’s fortune rivalling heaven Gu. With fate Gu, key to the Court’s place as number one human force, he says Longevity Heaven will definitely take that throne. ^{ch. 1713}

In the Central Great Hall, Fairy Zi Wei watches Calamity Luck Altar close in, and Old Man Zheng Yuan beside her is worried. The hall controls all the Immortal Gu Houses but has low defense, since nobody expected enemies to attack it. Even after three Demon Venerables once destroyed it, Heavenly Court added no defense, because no defense can stop a venerable. Giant Sun seems to have noticed this flaw while touring. Fairy Zi Wei sees the true flaw as mindset. ^{ch. 1713}

Asked how long fate Gu needs to be fully restored, Fairy Zi Wei answers six hours. Joyful that he will live to see it restored, Duke Long says he will handle this. Injuries from the joint attack of Eastern Sea’s rank eight Gu Immortals have not fully healed, but he says they do not matter. He is dying anyway, he adds. With the killer move heavenly dragon’s last stand, he claims, nobody in the five regions can match him. ^{ch. 1713}

Calamity Luck Altar charges at the Central Great Hall, but Duke Long stops it in midair with his right hand turned into dragon claws. The claws crack the Altar, its immortal killer moves cannot shift Duke Long, and his dragon qi forms dragons that coil around it and squeeze. Five Elements Grandmaster asks what to do, but Bing Sai Chuan is gone. He appears behind Duke Long and lands a time path killer move, prepared long before, on Duke Long’s head. It fails, and dragon qi bites Bing Sai Chuan and restrains him in the air, recovering too fast for his killer moves to free him. Duke Long asks how Bing Sai Chuan could comprehend heavenly dragon’s last stand and turns back to the Altar. ^{ch. 1713}

Calamity Luck Altar is full of cracks under countless dragon qi, and Gu worms die in large numbers. It would definitely be destroyed if this went on. Five Elements Grandmaster asks to go out and die in combat rather than idle. Bing Sai Chuan says he is not Duke Long’s match but has a trump card, and respectfully requests Limitless to turn around. Duke Long is shocked. ^{ch. 1713}
