Chapter 1723

Winged blade has a very high reputation as the number one offensive method of Northern Plains’ Gu Immortal world, able to cut even the winds of assimilation for a time. Duke Long dodges it, but his right dragon horn is sliced apart. The black-gold giant hooks a finger and uses immortal binding rope, the number one capturing method of that world. A green-gold rope wraps three times around Duke Long’s waist and pulls him closer. When the giant raises its arm for a second winged blade, he breaks free and retreats. He spits out two dragon fangs that grow into curved blades, using spiraling dragon fang for defense, and they would cut any rope that tried to bind him. ^{ch. 1723}

Bing Sai Chuan watches with suspicion and regret: the fangs were once only an arm’s size and now stand like gigantic pillars. Seven Extreme Desolation is much weaker now, because fate Gu recovers as the power of call of the ancient decreases. Duke Long would otherwise have been heavily injured. The formation is three rank eight and four rank seven Gu Immortals, elites whose killer moves are trump cards of their Huang Jin tribes, such as winged blade of Chanyu tribe and immortal binding rope of Ye Lui tribe. With Duke Long restricted, the situation deadlocks again, and Longevity Heaven cannot destroy the refinement path formation behind Heavenly Court’s three layers of Gu Immortals. Bing Sai Chuan contacts Fang Yuan to target the outside world instead. ^{ch. 1723}

In Emperor City, Fang Yuan flies in emperor yama form and sends yama children to obstruct Li Huang and Qing Ye. He attacks the closest Immortal Gu House, but Gu Yue Fang Zheng inside uses a blood path method that moves it away several times faster. Li Huang and Qing Ye engage him again, so he cannot use great thief ghost hand against the Houses of Heavenly Court. Western Desert is very wary of him and does not cooperate. Fang clan cannot expose its secret cooperation with him in public. ^{ch. 1723}

Bing Sai Chuan tells Fang Yuan everything about Longevity Heaven’s invasion of Heavenly Court, all of it true. Fang Yuan knows Longevity Heaven wants him to cause chaos so that Heavenly Court cannot fully repair fate Gu. If he destroys Emperor City and ruins the competition, Heavenly Court cannot take success dao marks from Infallible blessed land, and Yuan Qiong Du would not dare repair fate Gu. He judges this the only chance of victory. Though Longevity Heaven is using him, the scheme matches his own benefit. Dashing with shocking speed, he throws the defensive line of Heavenly Court into complete chaos. ^{ch. 1723}

Fang Yuan turns into the immemorial year monkey and aims spring scissors and summer fan at Emperor City below. Heavenly Court’s Immortal Gu Houses rush to shield Emperor City, and Western Desert’s Immortal Gu Houses seize the chance to attack. Li Huang and Qing Ye strike him, and winter coat resists with difficulty before it breaks. He forcefully activates it again despite the damage to its core, and Immortal Gu Winter is completely destroyed. He loses his main defensive method. The monkey’s body is strong to begin with, and he also uses many time path methods that are better than nothing. ^{ch. 1723}

Emperor City shakes, and the Gu Masters competing inside fail their refinement. The Central Continent Gu Immortals protect them, since the Gu Masters carry Central Continent’s human path luck, and many deaths would leave it unable to resist Fang Yuan. Inside Immortal Gu House Chicken Dog Coop, Fang clan’s rank seven Gu Immortal shouts that the best opportunity is before them. Fang clan’s Gu Immortals send it crashing toward Emperor City extremely close to the ground, using no killer move so as not to be detected. Heavenly Court’s attention is completely drawn to Fang Yuan, and Li Huang, Qing Ye, and the rest turn pale. They lack the time to stop it, and the fatal attack is about to land. ^{ch. 1723}
