Chapter 584

Hao Ji Liu has vanished, and Sun Shi Han hesitantly asks whether it is battle space Gu. Hei Lou Lan says it is a space path Gu worm, and if it is battle space Gu, Hao Ji Liu is in trouble. Ye Lui Sang, tribe leader of Ye Lui tribe, who joined Hei tribe after losing and owns a fire path Immortal Gu, explains that battle space Gu is a space path Gu worm of rank five. Once activated, it sends the enemy and the user into a space to fight to the death until a winner is decided or time runs out. Hei Lou Lan hatefully sighs that the bear hid such a Gu. ^{ch. 584}

The flying bear is expected to win, and Hao Ji Liu’s first rate escaping methods like water image Gu cannot help, since the space closes only on a clear victory decided by life and death. Only a space path Gu could save him, but he is a water path Gu Master and no expert present is in the space path. A Gu Master’s space vanishes when the primeval essence feeding it is completely used up, but the bear’s Gu is wild and absorbs the continuously supplied primeval energy in the air, so its time limit cannot end. Everyone loses hope. ^{ch. 584}

Absorbing the air’s primeval energy would take qi path methods, but qi path is near extinction, and Tai Bai Yun Sheng has seen only three such cultivators, the strongest Mo Shi Kuang. Tai Bai Yun Sheng says what matters is breaking the connection between the primeval energy and the Gu, the signature ability of restriction path. No one present is a restriction path Gu Master. Lui Shuang regrets that he found restriction path primeval break Gu in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building’s treasure room but exchanged for something else. ^{ch. 584}

Hei Lou Lan urges everyone to think harder, but the space shakes. The flying bear phantom reappears, roaring. Sun Shi Han, an investigative Gu Master, is first to spot blood and cloth stuck between its teeth. The cloth is Hao Ji Liu’s clothing, and everyone understands that the bear has eaten him. Known as the Water Demon, he died at this very place, beyond even Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s saving. ^{ch. 584}

The Gu Masters’ morale falls. They despair of fighting the bear alone in the cramped space, given its five element bear skin Gu, wind tiger cloud dragon Gu, star river Gu and grand chaotic dance Gu. This hundredth and last round is the hardest, and the first final round they have reached. With morale this low, Hei Lou Lan asks whether they return empty handed, and losing an expert for nothing deals his reputation and prestige a huge blow. He needs a one-edge owner token for a strength path Immortal Gu, and failing this floor leaves only an edgeless token. ^{ch. 584}

Fang Yuan asks what difficulty there is in killing the flying bear. Wolf King has grown arrogant and cruel, so only Hei Lou Lan, the Black Tyrant, has no fear of him and asks for his plan. Fang Yuan says battle space Gu is only rank five, so it must have restrictions, particularly range, and fighting from afar outside that range will be fine. Fang Yuan will manipulate the wolf group to encircle the bear while the Gu Masters attack from afar, and the overjoyed Hei Lou Lan agrees. ^{ch. 584}

The wolf group traps the bear, and the bear’s moves cause great casualties among the wolves, but no more Gu Masters die. Fang Yuan does not retreat despite the losses. Hei Lou Lan credits the promised fifty percent of the reward, but Fang Yuan’s true motive is the owner token. Once Hei Lou Lan’s token becomes four-edge, Fang Yuan would snatch it away to form the ten-edge owner token and obtain a Giant Sun true inheritance. The bear’s injuries grow heavier, but it then shoots another bubble, activating the rank five battle space Gu again. The Gu Masters retreat, but the bubble targets a blood forest wolf, and the bear and wolf vanish. Someone laughs, but Hei Lou Lan screams for them to shut up, and Fang Yuan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and others look grim. ^{ch. 584}
