Chapter 638

Immortal Gu normally need immortal essence to activate, and the dragon of Giant Sun’s will could use them because it held Giant Sun’s immortal essence. Wisdom Gu, hidden until now, cuts the dragon in two and severs that link, leaving more than ten Immortal Gu under the will useless. Fang Yuan had thought of doing this but lacked the strength, and he praises wisdom Gu inwardly. Wisdom Gu fears no formless hand, since the worst have eight fingers and only a nine fingered one could grab a rank nine Immortal Gu. Wisdom Gu is rank nine but extremely fragile. ^{ch. 638}

The will roars but ignores wisdom Gu and, as a huge golden hand, chases the luck path true inheritance carrying Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun toward a tear in the wind veil of assimilation. The tear lets countless Gu worms fly out and sparks conflicts among the northern plains Gu Immortals outside. The light of wisdom shrinks the hand fast, but the will’s intense collisions raise its speed and power, and it blocks the inheritance just before the veil. It grabs down with extreme killing intent at Ma and Zhao, who hug each other in terror. Powerful attacks rain on the hand, which collapses as the will roars at unfilial descendants. The inheritance carries Ma and Zhao through the veil to the outside. ^{ch. 638}

The righteous path Gu Immortals there, filled with greed and ignorant of the hand’s identity, grab at the inheritance, and their earlier agreement collapses before huge profits. Their auras collide, and Ma and Zhao almost faint. Over ten demonic path Gu Immortals arrive led by Old Ancestor Xue Hu, the rank eight leader of Snowy Mountain blessed land. He says Imperial Court blessed land is about to be destroyed, so he has come to reap benefits, and he orders the strike. The inheritance changes hands several times, with Ma and Zhao on the edge of life and death. ^{ch. 638}

One Gu Immortal shouts that definitely many more Immortal Gu lie inside the veil, and another urges the three Chanyu immortals to strike as it closes. The tear closes in about eight breaths, as Tong Zu had estimated. The three Chanyu immortals, led by Tong Zu, do not use winged blade again. The move consumes a lot of immortal essence, and they keep it in reserve to intimidate enemies. ^{ch. 638}

Hei Bai, Hei tribe’s Gu Immortal, loses his cool as the veil closes with Hei Lou Lan still inside, for Hei Lou Lan had reported obtaining Immortal Gu Wooden Chicken. Gu Immortal Hei Cheng cannot cut the veil. He says the formless hands inside are extremely likely to have seized wooden chicken Gu and will free the captured Gu worms when their energy runs out. Hei Bai brightens and thinks of his nephew Hei Lou Lan, and Hei Cheng grows more gloomy. ^{ch. 638}

Fang Yuan, shocked that Hei Lou Lan did not escape, fixes on Giant Sun’s falling immortal essence. Only the will can use it, but he reckons that seizing all of it would drop the will’s power to twenty to thirty percent. He soars up, activating movement Gu. ^{ch. 638}

The will, furious and anxious at Fang Yuan’s aim, knows it cannot activate Immortal Gu without immortal essence and feels unprecedented fear at his extremely fast speed. It condenses back into a giant hand and plunges like a meteor. Fang Yuan laughs, less than a hundred steps from the essence, unworried because rank nine wisdom Gu lies between him and the will. He reasons that the will must detour around it, Hei Lou Lan is slow and still holds Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and only the formless hands are a worry. The essence is within reach. ^{ch. 638}
