Chapter 1727

Fang Yuan prepares to retreat and no longer means to destroy Emperor City, which Central Continent’s Gu Immortals guard. Then a huge Earth Trench tears across the land from north to south at an extreme speed, with Emperor City directly ahead. The earth veins of the five regions are combining, so no Gu Immortals can resist it, and the city falls in and disintegrates. Emperor City holds nearly a million people, among them Ye Fan and Hong Yi. ^{ch. 1727}

Li Huang shouts to save them, but Fang Yuan dives into the crowd in emperor yama form. He sees that Hong Yi and Ye Fan are luck connected to him, which explains why his luck was suppressed all along. He uses Luo Po Seal, then turns into the immemorial year monkey and uses two time path killer moves, Spring Scissors and Summer Fan. Li Huang cannot block him. Countless lifeforms die, among them refinement path finalists, and Hong Yi and Ye Fan are not spared. Qing Ye charges at him in a bloodshot rage. ^{ch. 1727}

Emperor City is Central Continent’s greatest breeding ground of Gu Immortals, and its lucky geniuses are seeds for the five regions chaotic war. Fang Yuan almost wipes out the city and kills a good portion of those seeds, so Central Continent’s potential in the war is greatly lowered. Li Huang and Qing Ye want to tear him to shreds. Fang Yuan feels relief, knowing that his luck path is starting to show its advantage. ^{ch. 1727}

Fang Yuan retreats rapidly, with Li Huang, Qing Ye and the Immortal Gu Houses chasing. They cannot trap him, for no immortal formation or battlefield can be set up in time, and even one would not hold him unless they killed him quickly. Zhou Xiong Xin’s death is the best evidence. Fang Yuan’s strong attack almost dismantles an Immortal Gu House, and Gu Yue Fang Zheng inside breaks out in cold sweat. The house retreats to heal, and Fang Yuan, unaware that Fang Zheng is inside, feels that destroying it would benefit him greatly. ^{ch. 1727}

Bing Sai Chuan contacts Fang Yuan, who angrily blames him for the day’s loss. The four other regions all preserve their strength: Eastern Sea sends many rank eights but few rank seven immortals or Immortal Gu Houses, and Western Desert sends no rank eights, keeping such experts as Xi clan’s first supreme elder at home. Bing Sai Chuan says he cannot hold on much longer, but after huge losses there is still a chance in Infallible blessed land. Fate Gu still lacks its final batch of success dao marks, and the immortal formations around the blessed land hinder their transport to Heavenly Court. Fang Yuan brightens and heads there at once, with Li Huang and the rest chasing. ^{ch. 1727}

At Infallible blessed land, Heavenly Court’s immortal formation fully resists unlimited wind, and Chi Qu You is startled that countless white lights of human path amplify it. Yi Hao Fang proposes that unlimited wind work the outside while others find the weak point from within, and Ba Shi Ba adds that some must stay outside against Heavenly Court’s reinforcements. Everyone agrees. Wu Yong, whose sneak attack has failed, splits the group despite the cost. Chi Qu You and Wu Yong go inside, while Yi Hao Fang and Ba Shi Ba stay outside. ^{ch. 1727}

Gu Immortals from Northern Plains then approach, led by three rank eights. They are Yao Huang, the South Desolation Immortal of Longevity Heaven, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, and Prince Feng Xian of the Gong tribe. Behind them come elites including Domination Immortal Chu Du, Toad Fiend Immortal Nu Er Qian, Spear Deity Yuan Rang Zun and Wealth Devouring Boy Nian Er Fu. Wu Yong asks what they want, and Yao Huang replies that they would work together to attack Heavenly Court. Wu Yong laughs, for no reinforcements come and he gains new allies. ^{ch. 1727}
