Northern Plains" Retaliation
Fang Di Chang shouts for Western Desert’s Immortal Gu Houses to stop Zhao Shan He and Yu Zhu Zi, but Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals defend tightly. Zhang Fei Xiong as a giant and Flesh Whip Immortal as a meat tree hold the houses off, and rank eight killer moves erupt to obstruct them. The pair unleash Sitting and Eating the Mountain Empty. Western Desert is hit again and helplessly watches a giant starlight pillar teleport the Central Continent Gu Immortals back to Heavenly Court. ch. 1926
While healing, the Gu Immortals remark that the move grows harder to use as the enemy learns, yet Western Desert is weakened and should not hold out after two more times. Their morale rises with every fight. ch. 1926
Qin Song coughs up yellowish brown blood with small insects in the foam, and Zhou Xiong Xin asks if he is injured. Qin Song says it is an old injury, not from the fight. Zhou Xiong Xin, whom Fang Yuan killed in the previous life, is alive now because Fang Yuan was reborn. Qin Song is the key to Heavenly Court’s star cast killer move and is most skilled at teleportation. In the previous life he led the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals toward Di Zang Sheng without his complete set of Immortal Gu and died prematurely. ch. 1926
This life he woke earlier with comprehensive Immortal Gu and an advanced lifespan extension method, yet repeated battles have greatly reduced his lifespan. Fairy Zi Wei calculates that he can use at most four more movement killer moves before his flesh and soul collapse. Qin Song smiles and coughs more blood, saying four is enough to defeat Western Desert and perhaps strike Southern Border or Eastern Sea too, and the rest is for the others after his death. Flesh Whip Immortal tells him not to worry. The cause of his state is an old injury from exploring Reckless Savage’s grave, which still cannot be treated. ch. 1926
Fairy Zi Wei does not order a further attack, because Heavenly Court cannot teleport in groups without Qin Song, and Star Constellation Chessboard alone would be inefficient and cost her the deduction needed to oversee the whole situation. Heavenly Court is fighting on at least three battlefields with Fang Yuan and Qi Sea Ancestor yet to move, and to her regret no wisdom path Gu Immortal woke in the immortal graveyard this time. She wants to keep Qin Song’s remaining uses for Fang Yuan, who can appear anywhere in Central Continent through Fixed Immortal Travel and Omni-directional Travel. She ranks the four battlefields: Heavenly Court first, then Hairy Foot Mountain, then Emperor City, then Hidden Dragon Cave. Losing Hairy Foot Mountain would badly hurt the repair of Fate without being irrevocable, Emperor City is not very important even if destroyed, and Hidden Dragon Cave needs only delaying. She decides to deal with Longevity Heaven first, which keeps Heavenly Court and fate Gu secure and spares Qin Song. The immortals approve and enter the qi wall to fight Longevity Heaven. ch. 1926
Inside the wall, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals move freely while Longevity Heaven’s are restricted, and their barrage cracks the surface of Calamity Luck Altar. Duke Long blocks the house, shrugging off every rank eight killer move with his violet-gold dragon scales. In the previous life he won Dragon Palace but was seriously injured, whereas now Fang Yuan obtained it in advance and Duke Long is fully intact. Bing Sai Chuan is livid, and Mao Li Qiu complains that without breaking the barrier they cannot approach Heaven Overseeing Tower. Bing Sai Chuan sighs and orders the killer move call of the ancient. ch. 1926
Calamity Luck Altar stands still and bursts with golden light, and a phantom segment of the River of Time appears above it. Duke Long’s heart is slightly shaken. Northern Plains’ Gu Immortals walk out of the phantom River of Time one by one. Nu Er Bao Xiong laughs and offers explosive lightning bolts, Hei Fan smiles slightly at joining a huge battle in the future, and Liu Liu Liu vanishes on the spot, saying he had better hide. ch. 1926
