Chapter 640

Fang Yuan says he escaped death thanks to the fairy, and Mo Yao’s will tells him to repay her by returning Water Pavilion to Spirit Affinity House. Fang Yuan laughs, says okay, and leaps up in six arm heavenly zombie king form, looking extremely vicious and ruthless, with the water armor shrunk into a helmet that guards his head from mental attack. Fang Yuan punches at Giant Sun’s will. It slips past as a golden ribbon and cuts his fist off at the wrist. Fang Yuan rolls clear and presses the fist back on, and it heals through the regeneration of six arm heavenly zombie king. ^{ch. 640}

The will charges again as a sword rainbow, and Fang Yuan flies upward using four eagle rise Gu and wind flower Gu, yet the rainbow stays faster and more agile. In the air Fang Yuan is completely at a disadvantage, since the strong defense of six arm heavenly zombie king is extremely weak against a sword rainbow of will. Flesh keeps falling from him, but the lost sense of pain and the helmet keep the will out of his mind. The will has hardly any mass, is extremely quick, and splits and changes shape at will, so Fang Yuan has no method against it. Mo Yao’s will grows anxious at his lack of progress. ^{ch. 640}

Below, Ye Lui Sang, whose injuries have mostly healed, wins the help of other Gu Masters as leader of a super tribe. Hei Lou Lan says mortals cannot break the wind veil of assimilation without Ancestor Giant Sun’s strength, and that Fang Yuan has completely taken the ancestor’s immortal essence, leaving the ancestor unable to use any of his dozen or more Immortal Gu. Everyone nods at his analysis. Displaying the captured Tai Bai Yun Sheng, he proposes that the group capture Gu worms first and all report the Gu worms they own, starting with himself. Gu Masters are normally very secretive about their Gu worms, but with lives at stake they follow, and Hei Lou Lan recruits them into his force again. He wants to ascend to immortal and needs a strength path Immortal Gu, so he relies on Giant Sun’s will and uses these people as pawns. ^{ch. 640}

Fang Yuan pounces and grabs the sword, but the will splits apart and loses only a bit of its thoughts. Mo Yao’s will suggests a drawn out battle, since the will has no energy source and its thinking spends its thoughts. Fang Yuan refuses: six arm heavenly zombie king lasts thirty minutes, and if he completely turns into it, both apertures lose all life force and his cultivation is cut off from advancing. She roughly estimates he has about an hour as a strength path Gu Immortal. He asks whether Water Pavilion has any method, and she answers that the rank seven Immortal Gu House excels at concealment and movement, not attack. Only five of the twenty or so red date immortal essence beads her main body left remain. She tells him to drop any hope of turning the battle around with Water Pavilion. ^{ch. 640}

The will feigns an attack and strikes from behind. Mo Yao’s warning comes too late. Fang Yuan vomits green zombie blood as his eight eagle wings are smashed, his spine is completely shattered, and he plunges toward the ground. The golden rainbow keeps coiling around him, and he barely protects himself behind his eight arms, until the will destroys them and tatters his body from front to back. Only the six arm heavenly zombie king form keeps him from death, and only by using it non-stop can he barely keep up. ^{ch. 640}
