Endurance, Shatter, Death
Chang Ji You screams in agony as Fang Yuan holds him in the air with one hand and works his Gu worms. Fang Yuan shouts for him to endure, the pain dissipates, and the skin on his arm turns back into living flesh while the six arms on his back shrink. Fang Yuan then cries out in an extremely solemn tone, and the arm reverts to the heavenly zombie state while the six arms grow back tougher and stronger. Fang Yuan pretends to show intense fatigue. Chang Ji You blames only himself. ch. 590
Fang Yuan asks Mo Yao for more ideas. The current method is Mo Yao’s idea, and it is also one of his schemes: experimenting on Chang Ji You to find a way back to human while making Mo Yao’s will think and spend her limited energy. Mo Yao says one way remains, but the person testing the Gu will endure three times the pain and most likely die from it. She explains that Chang Ji You is only half dead, with his soul still in his dead body, and he is truly dead only if it is absorbed into the door of life and death. That door, a secluded domain of heaven and earth, has vanished, and its control has weakened greatly. This is why zombies exist. Her method could shatter his soul into irrecoverable pieces, she warns, with barely a chance of success, and she advises keeping him as a helper. ch. 590
Fang Yuan stays silent, then tells Chang Ji You of an extremely dangerous method with a very high success rate. Mo Yao sighs deeply. Chang Ji You begs for the method, saying life in his current form is worse than death. Fang Yuan calls him his only child but agrees after Chang Ji You kneels, and sends him to rest. ch. 590
A few days later, Chang Ji You screams until hoarse while Fang Yuan encourages him with a warm gaze and a cold heart. For the three hundred and seventh time he faints from pain, and Fang Yuan stops to nourish his cracking soul with soul path Gu worms. Mo Yao says hope is little, but Fang Yuan insists on one last try. Chang Ji You wakes and asks that the trying stop if he faints again, and Fang Yuan agrees. ch. 590
Fang Yuan activates three rank five Gu worms, then adds more that drill into Chang Ji You’s skin and flow towards his heart. Mo Yao urges him to stop, warning that the soul cannot take it and Chang Ji You will really die, but Fang Yuan keeps adding to the limit. He adds three more, and at the last the Gu worms break apart like fireworks. Chang Ji You floats motionless, dead, his soul shattered and dissipated from the pain. ch. 590
Mo Yao says coldly that Fang Yuan has killed him, and he agrees, laughing lightly that the death at least showed how stubborn the flaw of the six arm heavenly zombie king killer move truly is. She hides her form and vanishes from his mind, unwilling to answer his cold and unscrupulous nature. His smile fades as he sees how big a threat her will is. He cannot tell whether she knows how to resolve the killer move’s flaw and withholds it, or has not thought of it so as to preserve herself. If her will attacked his mind at a crucial moment, he could not stop the killer move. ch. 590
None of the wisdom path Gu worms he has bought lets her completely conceal herself like this, so her will is unfathomable. Eighty-Eight True Yang Building has formed about sixty floors, and Hei Lou Lan is attacking the thirty-ninth at full force, seemingly for wooden chicken Gu. Fang Yuan has little time and must work faster. ch. 590
