Chapter 1724

Fairy Zi Wei sees Chicken Dog Coop about to hit Emperor City and asks Old Man Zheng Yuan to save it. Old Man Zheng Yuan answers that enough human will has been gathered and opens. His immortal essence surges and blood flows from his seven orifices, for at only rank seven he finds serving as the key to these human path methods excruciating. Once people’s united hearts has taken effect, another human path method of the Immortal Venerable is activated. ^{ch. 1724}

A Fang clan Gu Immortal laughs, picturing fame for himself and his clan, and Fang Yuan cheers internally with a gut feeling that he would benefit greatly. A faint white light flashes on Emperor City. Chicken Dog Coop’s ferocious aura vanishes, and it breaks apart, scattering shards, Gu worms and Gu worm corpses. The Fang clan Gu Immortals inside fall out dead, and the remaining ones call their names without response. Fang Yuan is horrified that one hit killed every Gu Immortal inside, which never happened even in his previous life. In that life Spectral Soul Demon Venerable infiltrated Heavenly Court and prevented such a battle, though Fang Yuan’s memories are not entirely reliable. ^{ch. 1724}

Li Huang names the immortal killer move broken homes and dead family and takes it as a sign that human will has been accumulated sufficiently. He and Qing Ye call on Central Continent to counterattack. Countless white lights rise over Central Continent, each as large as a dandelion. Fang Yuan turns into emperor yama form and defends with soul path killer moves, since winter coat is destroyed, but the lights have no offensive power and none of his probes work. The lights land on Central Continent Gu Immortals in Emperor City, Heavenly Court, Infallible blessed land, and elsewhere, and this is Hope of the People, a human path killer move. ^{ch. 1724}

People’s united hearts and broken homes and dead family are Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable’s methods. Hope of the people and the move after it are Star Constellation Immortal Venerable’s gains from exploring human path. Old Man Zheng Yuan shouts again and activates the human path killer move Heroes Among People. The lights shrink as the auras of the Central Continent Gu Immortals grow, most evidently in Li Huang, Fairy Zi Wei, and Chen Yi. The Western Desert Immortal Gu Houses retreat in shock. ^{ch. 1724}

Fang Yuan probes with yama children. Li Huang’s verdant sun flame cloak expands and incinerates them. After several rounds, he is greatly astounded to find Li Huang’s battle strength amplified at least three times. The move amplifies the Gu Immortals themselves rather than their dao marks, and it reaches countless of them at once. It also works on Immortal Gu Houses, because they are immortal killer moves in essence used by Gu Immortals. Hope of the people with heroes among people is two rank nine killer moves used together. ^{ch. 1724}

Gu Immortals fighting together usually conflict through dao marks of different paths, so one plus one is often smaller than two. An ancient battle formation unites their strength, which is why Seven Extreme Desolation can resist Duke Long. Heroes among people is more profound than perfect pair. Perfect pair only creates one clone, while heroes among people amplifies the main body at least three times. Western Desert’s Gu Immortals are forced to retreat. Li Huang and Qing Ye attack Fang Yuan, who must resist while retreating, as they are now much faster and hold the initiative. ^{ch. 1724}
