Chapter 1716

At Hidden Dragon Cave, the super immortal formation suppressing Di Zang Sheng is half collapsed after Eastern Sea’s rank eights broke it, and only its core still works. Old Man Bei Feng is heavily injured and can barely hold the situation. His grandson Feng Chan Zi waits in vain for Heavenly Court’s reinforcements. Eastern Sea’s rank eights completely surround the formation, and Hua Cai Yun’s immemorial cloud beast wears at its core. A dragon roar from the abyss shakes the Earth Trench, and Shen Cong Sheng urges the rank eights to act now, since the formation can no longer suppress Di Zang Sheng. Eastern Sea’s immortals came for Dragon Palace to regain their reputation, not to fight the beast, which if released would keep troubling Heavenly Court and Central Continent. ^{ch. 1716}

Song Qi Yuan activates the immortal killer move Broken Mirror Shard Light, and the core’s light halo shatters like a mirror, exposing Old Man Bei Feng and Feng Chan Zi. The formation breaks, and the rank eights attack. Feng Chan Zi shuts his eyes in terror and awaits death, and Old Man Bei Feng sighs that he can only wait for his own. ^{ch. 1716}

Shen Cong Sheng stops the attacks, saying he will capture Old Man Bei Feng alive. His new killer move lingering sound wraps Old Man Bei Feng in threads like a cocoon. Old Man Bei Feng cannot resist, and Shen Cong Sheng captures him. A living rank eight is worth much more than a dead one, and the capture will raise the reputation of the Shen clan in Eastern Sea. The immortals ignore the cowardly rank six Feng Chan Zi. ^{ch. 1716}

Zhang Yin finds Immortal Gu House Dragon Palace with an investigative killer move, and it floats above Old Man Bei Feng. The immortals agreed beforehand that everyone shares in it according to effort. Song Qi Yuan and the rest try to capture it, but it only shakes and does not acknowledge a new owner. ^{ch. 1716}

They realize Heavenly Court placed it there to tame Di Zang Sheng. Being a dragon, the beast is countered by Dragon Palace. When the five regions’ earth veins become one, the beast’s power will rise at least five times. It might become the number one legendary immemorial desolate beast and reach pseudo-Immortal Venerable battle strength, which the immortals think explains Duke Long’s huge price for Dragon Palace. The Eastern Sea immortals are very glad to have come, and they expect Dragon Palace to subdue the beast, which would give them the house and a being of great battle strength. ^{ch. 1716}

At Emperor City, Fang Yuan activates great thief ghost hand in succession, and Heavenly Court’s Immortal Gu Houses avoid the ghost hands wherever they go. The move steals Gu worms and counters Immortal Gu Houses, which are mobile immortal formations. Most houses have no counter to it, unlike Great Space Temple. Fang Yuan steals many Gu worms, and Heavenly Court’s defense line becomes a huge mess. ^{ch. 1716}

Li Huang pounces at Fang Yuan in verdant sun flame cloak, which defends against great thief ghost hand. Fang Yuan says he has waited for him and turns into the immemorial year monkey. Spring scissors tears Li Huang’s cloak, greatly lowering its defense, and summer fan then blows him far away with intense winds. A tiny spark remains on his cloak because he reactivated it when attacked earlier. The cloak can be stacked, but the immortal essence spent doubles. ^{ch. 1716}
