Chapter 1736

On the Heavenly Court battlefield, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s move lifts Northern Plains morale to an unprecedented height, and his descendants feel a great increase in strength. Wisdom path Gu Immortal Liu Hui binds a Heavenly Court Gu Immortal in the air. The immortal says the credit belongs to Giant Sun, not to Liu Hui. Liu Hui answers that only life or death and victory or defeat matter, and kills him. ^{ch. 1736}

Yu Yang Zi feels vast new strength and uses the immortal killer move Decomposition on a Heavenly Court Gu Immortal whose extremely tough barrier had held him off. Yu Yang Zi, born Ye Lui Wa, defected from Ye Lui tribe when it slighted him, and at rank eight was welcomed back as its first supreme elder. The barrier disintegrates completely, and with Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s help Yu Yang Zi reverses the strong and weak positions and kills the immortal. Yuan Ben, a rank eight bone path Gu Immortal once deemed Northern Plains’ top battle strength, fights three Heavenly Court immortals. With his portion of Giant Sun’s yellow light, his armor shoots countless bone spikes that kill one of them. He pierces the second immortal’s heart with his spear and slices off the third’s head with his sword. Even so he feels slightly sad, since winning with ancestor’s help holds no honor. ^{ch. 1736}

Duke Long is sent flying, and Calamity Luck Altar presses down on him like a mountain. Heavenly Court Gu Immortal Wu Shuang lends him the immortal killer move Peerless. Duke Long answers with Chaotic Dragon Fist, striking the altar with tens of millions of fist shadows. Bing Sai Chuan finds him absurdly strong even though the altar has Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s amplification. ^{ch. 1736}

Seven Extreme Desolation joins in, spitting countless pitch-black needles at Duke Long, while Northern Plains Gu Immortals block Wu Shuang from helping. The investigative killer move Clear Dragon Vision shows Duke Long that the needles carry the essence of dark path to counter defensive methods. He answers offense with offense by using the immortal killer move Qi Current Scissors, and the two barrages wipe out more than half of each other. The leftovers pierce him with over ten needles and cut the giant’s bones and muscles, injuries the Seven Big Dipper Immortals inside share. They coordinate to press after him, and Duke Long retreats. It is the first time since the battle began that he retreats on his own initiative. ^{ch. 1736}

Heavenly Dragon’s Last Stand pales greatly before a rank nine killer move. Giant Sun’s attack, blocked by Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, became an amplification method, and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s variation move attainment surpasses Duke Long’s understanding. A variation move, one of the four main special techniques for using killer moves, adds new attributes to a base move. The Northern Plains Gu Immortals realize the amplification dissipates quickly and decide to break the defense line and seize fate Gu while it lasts. Duke Long can barely match Calamity Luck Altar and Seven Extreme Desolation, so he cannot defend the damaged refinement path formation. Heavenly Court Gu Immortals form a defensive line before it, but under the Northern Plains rush the line nearly breaks, and Gu Immortal corpses fall from the sky. ^{ch. 1736}

Gu Immortals awaken from Heavenly Court immortal graveyard to reinforce the line, and Northern Plains experts step silently out of the River of Time phantom image. Fairy Zi Wei has joined the battlefield and resists with all her might. Suddenly a faint shadow appears beside her. It is the Northern Plains Gu Immortal expert Liu Liu Liu, a rank eight with a poor reputation. While alive he was the only rank eight in Liu tribe and by custom should have become its first supreme elder. But he never fought openly, only bullied the weak while fearing the strong, and relied on sneak attacks. Liu Liu Liu is an anomaly in Northern Plains history, yet because of this nature he is still alive on this battlefield. ^{ch. 1736}
