Chapter 1719

The rank nine killer move restrains Duke Long, who cannot communicate by any method. He deduces that call of the ancient is not truly bringing Gu Immortals from the past or future but summoning certain individuals from the River of Time at a particular state, so they arrive at peak condition. To stop it, enough damage must cripple Calamity Luck Altar and interrupt the user. ^{ch. 1719}

Dong Fang Yu walks out of the River of Time. A Heavenly Court Gu Immortal who looks like a boy and has an overwhelming aura charges at Dong Fang Yu, having just retrieved his Immortal Gu. The boy’s killer move misses, and he giggles that Dong Fang Yu now knows the power of Vortex Space Boy. Dong Fang Yu, very angry, calls him a disgusting old man pretending to be young. The two clash. ^{ch. 1719}

Nian Er Nong Fu, an earth path cultivator who looks like an old farmer, emerges next; his management of immortal apertures once grew Nian Er tribe’s resources over tenfold. Ye Qiao Zi, a thin old Heavenly Court wood path immortal, greets him as friend Nian Er. The two fight fiercely while talking pleasantly. Zhu Que Er splits into eight red lights at Nu Er Bao Xiong, and seven slam into his lightning web shield. His beard strands become lightning spears, and she turns back into her body with rainbow light. ^{ch. 1719}

Wan Zi Hong, who lacks most of her offensive Immortal Gu, has become a healer. She dodges Ye Lui Kou’s golden light, but he locates her true body and fires a golden pillar. Zhao Shan He, a fat Heavenly Court Gu Immortal, eats the entire killer move. He says he will not let the healer be killed so easily. Fairy Zi Wei sends several Gu Immortals at Calamity Luck Altar, and Duke Long is glad, judging that she has deduced call of the ancient’s weakness. ^{ch. 1719}

Inside the altar, Bing Sai Chuan leads the Northern Plains group and says call of the ancient can be used only once and will not work again if disrupted. Having saved manpower for such assaults, he sends several Northern Plains Gu Immortals out to block the attackers. Fairy Zi Wei is relieved that Bing Sai Chuan does not cultivate wisdom path. By attacking, weaker Heavenly Court forces stronger Northern Plains to defend, which gives its Gu Immortals initiative and time to recover at the qi wall. ^{ch. 1719}

Hei Fan and Gu Liu Ru collide and both spit blood. Gu Liu Ru retreats toward the qi wall, but Liu Liu Liu, a Liu tribe expert known in life as the disgrace of Northern Plains for his sneak attacks, kills him inches from it. This is the first sacrifice Heavenly Court has suffered since Longevity Heaven joined the battle. The second and third follow soon. Ye Lui Kou finally kills Wan Zi Hong but is heavily injured by Zhao Shan He. Hei Fan, who fought Gu Liu Ru too intensely and lacks good defensive killer moves, dies on the Northern Plains side when several Heavenly Court Gu Immortals attack at once. Heavenly Court loses more Gu Immortals overall. ^{ch. 1719}

Fairy Zi Wei sighs deeply that the enemy’s sacrifice is merely part of a killer move. The fallen Northern Plains Gu Immortals could return if it is used again, since they were not summoned with true bodies, while Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals are real lives with limited lifespans. She judges the time path rank nine killer move to be Red Lotus Demon Venerable’s work, aimed at Heavenly Court’s weakness. Bing Sai Chuan’s expression turns ugly, because the summoned Northern Plains experts are visibly losing battle strength. Fairy Zi Wei realizes why: fate Gu’s recovery is increasing rapidly toward full recovery. She reasons that the move, which uses the River of Time against fate, will lose all effectiveness once fate Gu is fully repaired. ^{ch. 1719}
