Final Trump Card
Giant Sun’s will, which inherited some of the Immortal Venerable’s experience, drives Fang Yuan into desperation again with a killer move made out of boredom. Fang Yuan thinks of using Spring Autumn Cicada while his first aperture, webbed with cracks, could break the next second. He quickly dispels the thought. More of his Gu worms are sealed, and he takes hits passively. ch. 643
Mo Yao’s will warns that zombie speckles are showing up and death energy is invading, so if they cover his whole body he becomes a six arm heavenly zombie king for real. The speckles appear before the estimated one hour limit has passed. A zombified body is completely immersed in death energy and cannot return to normal. Fang Yuan refuses to cancel the killer move, since only it lets him hold his own. He judges that Giant Sun’s will, which lost eight Immortal Gu to attract a seven fingered formless hand, would then go all out to kill him and take back the immortal essence of Giant Sun. ch. 643
The speckles cover almost his entire back and then blacken his chest. Giant Sun’s will understands that the broken balance of life and death energy will make him a real zombie, neither human nor ghost, whose cultivation is stagnant forever. Mo Yao’s will urges him to stop, saying Giant Sun’s will might not attack with little strength left and a real zombie king is far too difficult to revert. Fang Yuan keeps his teeth gritted and turns into a six arm heavenly zombie king completely. ch. 643
His strength path immortal aperture turns dark and lifeless, and his first aperture’s walls look like grey rock, so Spring Autumn Cicada’s pressure is no longer so threatening. His cultivation can never advance, making his prospects worse than a mortal’s. As the wind veil of assimilation draws very close, he stops activating all his Gu. Having completely become a six arm heavenly zombie king, he needs no Gu worms to hold the form, so the purple light qi of thirty-eight sealing arts finds nothing to trace and has no effect. ch. 643
The Gu Masters erupt, shouting that he courts death by stopping his Gu worms, and attack as he retreats on his defense. Hei Lou Lan warns them not to hit wisdom Gu, so they aim more precisely. Fang Yuan’s chest is blown open, his bones broken and his intestines smashed. A lightning bolt from what its user takes for a rank five thunder hammer Gu slams him to the ground, and a wind path killer move cuts off one of his arms. The Gu Masters compete in torturing him, leaving him one arm of eight and no undamaged skin, yet he gets up every time. ch. 643
Giant Sun’s will says Enough, and the Gu Masters stop attacking. It calls his attitude truly worth admiring and offers him a chance to surrender. If Fang Yuan recognises it as master and helps rebuild Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, which he destroyed, it promises freedom, removal of his zombie status and the method to regain a human body. Fang Yuan says he will consider it, but the will allows no stalling and counts down from ten. ch. 643
Mo Yao’s will worriedly reminds him that once he leaves the range of the wisdom halo he will be a fish on the chopping block, subject entirely to Giant Sun’s will. Fang Yuan laughs in his heart at the idea of believing that offer, and sighs that he must use his final trump card. He admits to Mo Yao’s will that he has Spring Autumn Cicada, and she screams whether it is the seventh ranked of the top ten mystical Gu worms, which travels upstream along the river of time and changes history. Fang Yuan confirms it. ch. 643
