Fearsome Beast Tide
Inside Three Autumn Yellow Crane Platform, the Central Continent Gu Immortals resolve to die and tell Gu Liu Ru to leave first, since Central Continent cannot lose him. Fairy Zi Wei has already sent the command that the platform block Myriad Year Flying Warship while he escapes. Gu Liu Ru hesitates. He promises that the sacrifices will not be in vain and dives into the River of Time. Fang Yuan turns the warship to give chase, but the platform blocks it without regard for itself. Gu Liu Ru enters a tributary and escapes to the outside world. ch. 1813
Fang Yuan concentrates his attacks on the platform. Already an exhausted force, it breaks completely into pieces under the warship’s violent repeated collisions. Over ten Gu Immortals fall into the river, where year beasts attack them in the extreme chaos. Fang Yuan maneuvers the warship to retrieve them as battle spoils, but wave after wave of the beast tide collides into it, and many Gu Immortals are swallowed without leaving behind a piece of flesh. ch. 1813
A giant immemorial year ox crashes into the warship’s side, almost overturning it and leaving two large holes. Eight immemorial year beasts now surround Fang Yuan, and the ox, outstanding among them, reminds him that his Twelve Zodiac battle formation lacks an immemorial year ox. It is no time to subdue it, and he orders a retreat. An immemorial year dog blocks the path, the daybreak swords break against its body, and it bites the bow into pieces. Fang Yuan warns that the dog, another species he lacks, has time path Immortal Gu on it, and steers toward the immemorial year monkeys, which stop the dog. ch. 1813
The warship reaches a tributary and must struggle through it to reach the outside world, but many year beasts give chase, and a small immemorial year rat darts into the warship. The warship is strong outside and weak inside, and Fang Yuan, no longer caring about concealing his strength, erupts with rank eight cultivation and strikes the rat with true rank eight spring scissors. The rat is only the size of an adult fist but extremely hard, and the scissors produce only sparks. It bites a time path Immortal Gu and escapes, extremely fast. His subordinates cry that rank eight years flow like water Immortal Gu was taken, but Fang Yuan laughs happily, even rejoicing slightly, because it was his disguise and not the real Years Flow Like Water. He had deduced myriad year hunting himself and knew its enormous flaw, so he had prepared this bait, and the beasts abandon the warship to surround the rat. ch. 1813
Fang Yuan moves the warship into his immortal aperture, where it shows holes along its sides and a bow chewed down. Countless mortal Gu have died and many Immortal Gu are injured, precaution Immortal Gu the most heavily because it is the core of the warship’s defense. Even the real years flow like water Immortal Gu takes some damage. Recovery is not difficult. His robust refinement path foundation lets Gu as Before formation restore the Immortal Gu. All the immemorial year beasts that attacked the warship are marked for him to subdue later for the Twelve Zodiac battle formation. That formation needs twelve species of immemorial year beasts. ch. 1813
The immortal apertures of the Central Continent rank seven corpses are completely empty, because Fairy Zi Wei moved their resources out before the battle. Fang Yuan does not care. He plans to repair the warship, capture the lacking immemorial year beasts, and then explore dream realms, with a large pile extorted from Southern Border’s righteous path. He knows the Five Xiang’s public grotto-heaven will open soon and the ancient bet will end. In Heavenly Court, Fairy Zi Wei sighs bitterly, helpless after losing miserably in the River of Time once again. She knows Fang Yuan means to bait them, but Red Lotus’ true inheritance leaves Heavenly Court no choice. She will rework the time path Immortal Gu Houses for speed and focus on disturbing him, to keep him from obtaining that inheritance. ch. 1813
