Chapter 1811

Not long after Fang Yuan enters the River of Time in Myriad Year Flying Warship, Gu Liu Ru intercepts him, names himself Heavenly Court’s Gu Liu Ru and says he came to take Fang Yuan’s life. Grey-white lights strike, and the ship blocks them completely but shakes intensely. Fang Yuan recognizes him a moment later, since in the previous life Bing Sai Chuan gave him the battle information of Longevity Heaven’s invasion of Heavenly Court, where Gu Liu Ru fought. Gu Liu Ru mainly cultivates time path but also wisdom path, and his exquisite moves hide many traps. Knowing his battle style, Fang Yuan fights him with the warship, which runs amok and destroys his arrangements. With no result after a long battle, Gu Liu Ru retreats, saying he will decipher the tiny ship and return to take Fang Yuan’s life. ^{ch. 1811}

His wheelchair is a compact Immortal Gu House, and its two wheels carry him over the river at an extremely fast speed. Fang Yuan gives chase from the bow. A variant human Gu Immortal suggests torrential charge, but Fang Yuan rejects it and orders daybreak sword. The ship shoots out blinding white light, and silver strands from the river’s water condense into sharp sword-like blades. Gu Liu Ru deduces a time path killer move never shown before, rank eight in itself and lifted far beyond ordinary rank eight moves by the river’s sharpest time path power. Alarmed that Fang Yuan can use Reverse Flow River and now researches the River of Time, he resolves to kill him, judging him a huge future threat. ^{ch. 1811}

The blades wound Gu Liu Ru because his defensive killer move cannot block them, and Fang Yuan’s subordinates shout for his death. Fang Yuan ridicules Gu Liu Ru and Heavenly Court until Gu Liu Ru snaps, and a sword cuts away most of his hair and skin. Gu Liu Ru slams the wheelchair into unprecedented speed, but it crumbles behind him, and the subordinates credit daybreak sword with destroying its Immortal Gu. Fang Yuan suddenly orders the ship to stop. ^{ch. 1811}

He remarks on a time path Gu formation waiting ahead, and Li Huang answers, revealing a large river suppression lotus sealing formation. Fang Yuan’s subordinates realize it is a trap. Gu Liu Ru had given up an Immortal Gu and wounded himself to stage it, but Fang Yuan watched the act at leisure. Fang Yuan admits he suffered much from that formation in the previous life. Two Immortal Gu Houses appear beside him: Three Autumn Yellow Crane Platform and Shark Flow Lever, begun long ago and finished recently, while Heavenly Court is still rebuilding Present and Past Pavilion and Eternal Yacht. The platform blocks his retreat, Gu Liu Ru stalls the warship, and Shark Flow Lever picks up Li Huang and joins the fight. ^{ch. 1811}

The warship’s extremely powerful defense makes every killer move of Heavenly Court’s side ineffective. Fang Yuan sees through Gu Liu Ru’s moves and rams a weak point, shattering the time path killer move hindering the warship, and the backlash makes Gu Liu Ru cough blood. The two houses use killer moves, but Fang Yuan orders a charge through and the warship breaks out. Gu Liu Ru stops Li Huang from chasing, saying they cannot stop a house worthy of rank eight. Li Huang is stifled, being a fire path Gu Immortal who can fight in the River of Time only with Shark Flow Lever. ^{ch. 1811}

Seeing no chase, Fang Yuan stops the ship and invites Heavenly Court to appraise myriad year hunting. A strange fragrance spreads from the warship, and beast roars approach from every direction. Heavenly Court’s side recognizes year beasts, ancient year beasts and even immemorial year beasts, so many they seem to form a beast tide. Li Huang and Gu Liu Ru are shaken to learn that the rank eight house holds more than collision. ^{ch. 1811}
