Chapter 1740

Li Huang’s corpse falls, shocking countless people. Fang Yuan charges on toward Hairy Foot Mountain, warning that anyone who blocks him will meet the same ending. Central Continent’s morale falls greatly, and Yao Huang’s group is greatly stunned. ^{ch. 1740}

Fang Yuan counts that about ten thousand of his soul path dao marks are now permanently expended, four thousand for each activation of Myriad Ghost Sword Dragon. He is substituting transformation path dao marks for the soul path marks he lacks. The cost of killing Li Huang was extremely high, since permanently expending dao marks reduces foundation. The soul sword’s speed is not outstanding and it is easily dodged, but Li Huang, protecting Hairy Foot Mountain, could not casually dodge it. The mountain looks extremely ordinary, yet Infallible blessed land lies on it, and Heavenly Court needs the place to repair fate Gu. ^{ch. 1740}

Chen Yi blocks Fang Yuan’s path as Fang Yuan prepares Myriad Fusion Ghost Dragon Sword again. Chen Yi has no confidence in facing it, since even Li Huang has perished. His chest burns, revealing a painting of a tall tree engraved when he inherited Genesis Lotus’ true inheritance many years ago. Information reaches his mind that this is the arrangement of Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable, and he activates Karma Divine Tree. Green smoke forms a tree above his head hung with dozens of very weird fruits, and Chen Yi seems to hear Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable’s voice name the consecutive move Karma Relocation. ^{ch. 1740}

Myriad Fusion Ghost Dragon Sword vanishes as it nears the tree, and Fang Yuan’s connection to it becomes negligible. Because the move carries the trait of enslavement path, an extremely faint trace of connection holds even when it is teleported over ten thousand li, but even a little further the move would collapse and he would suffer backlash. Wu Yong tries Farewell Friend Wind on Chen Yi and is teleported from Infallible blessed land to Southern Border. Fang Yuan quickly sees that the teleportation has a limit. Two uses have consumed two fruits. ^{ch. 1740}

Heavenly Lord Bai Zu splits into countless clones and charges, but his main body is teleported to Eastern Sea and the enslavement path tactic fails. Chu Du attacks from range and is teleported to the northern icy plain of Northern Plains, where the distance breaks his killer move and brings backlash on him. Several others are also teleported away. Fang Yuan suspects the tree cannot affect his main body because he is a complete otherworldly demon, but it teleports his killer moves anywhere from nearby to black heaven and white heaven. Moves sent far break apart and inflict backlash on him, while Chen Yi bleeds from his seven orifices under the burden. Qing Ye and others arrive and fight the Northern Plains and Southern Border immortals. ^{ch. 1740}

Fang Yuan judges that weak killer moves expend no fruit and strong ones can expend one each, and that a strong move teleported beyond his control could injure him heavily if he is unlucky. He dares not use Myriad Fusion Ghost Dragon Sword again, because its backlash would definitely make him cough blood and he has neither winter coat nor reverse flow protection seal. The earlier use happened to cause no backlash. ^{ch. 1740}

Bing Sai Chuan reports that the repair of fate Gu has started again. Unable to decipher this wood path method quickly, Fang Yuan orders a battle of attrition, and Bai Ning Bing and other rank seven Gu Immortals charge Hairy Foot Mountain. Each rank seven Gu Immortal teleported away expends a fruit, until all the fruits are spent and Karma Divine Tree fades. Chen Yi, at an extreme point of weakness, lowers his head as Fang Yuan charges fiercely and tells him to die. ^{ch. 1740}
