Chapter 726

Seven Star Child immortal zombie strikes again. The blow cracks open the rolling rock battlefield without breaking it apart. Fang Yuan uses the chaos to run, and when Hei Lou Lan asks why he is fleeing a fight that favors them, he says only that he is saving someone. He leads her to a cliff and points at a broken Gu Immortal: Star Lord Wan Xiang, a huge hole torn through his chest by Seven Star Child immortal zombie’s stomp, held together only by flesh at the sides. ^{ch. 726}

The wounds could be healed at great cost, Fang Yuan concludes, but Wan Xiang’s soul is trapped in Star Constellation Immortal Venerable’s dream, and unless it breaks can only wander there or become a dream realm itself. Hei Lou Lan’s investigative Gu confirms the soul is entirely gone: there is no way to save him. A living Wan Xiang could have given them information or been turned into a weapon against Shi Lei, Fang Yuan regrets. He asks her instead to help seal the corpse’s immortal aperture, revealing it as a complete rank six blessed land already left with a land spirit by its owner’s death. Her divine sense can only circle the aperture from outside. ^{ch. 726}

Fang Yuan’s eight arms plant Gu worms on the corpse as its wounds heal, but sealing a blessed land is troublesome work and he runs short of worms. Not one worm on his list can be skipped. Standing guard, Hei Lou Lan reaches treasure yellow heaven through her own aperture and uses a moving perspective cup Gu to ask Fairy Li Shan for help. ^{ch. 726}

High above, Seven Star Child immortal zombie’s endless killer moves finally break the rolling rock battlefield apart, and the wounded zombie dragon falls from the sky. Shi Lei, who inflicted those wounds, is cut from shoulder to waist and pants heavily. The worse hurt he is, the fiercer he fights. Calling Shi Lei an intruder who must die, Seven Star Child immortal zombie fires One Star Finger, and Shi Lei answers at once with Shocking Rock Break. Starlight tears through Shi Lei’s chest near his heart while a huge rock buries Seven Star Child immortal zombie under a small hill; only Shi Lei’s own healing Immortal Gu can stop the bleeding. ^{ch. 726}

Breaking free, Seven Star Child immortal zombie bursts into such speed he catches Shi Lei mid-air and slams him with Star Billow Pillar, a light pillar huge enough to pierce cloud and mountain. Shi Lei falls from the sky like a broken sack, head charred black, but he has endured fifteen breaths and still has fight in him. Enraged, he uses his trump card. It is the dual killer move Rock Mountain Immortal Monkey King Transformation. Golden light repels Seven Star Child immortal zombie’s charge, and when it fades a sixteen meter golden monkey stands in Shi Lei’s place; neither side attacks yet. ^{ch. 726}

Hei Lou Lan urges Fang Yuan to hurry. He answers that without Immortal Gu they can hold this only seven minutes before the immortal aperture must land and take root. Shi Lei’s monkey form glances at them, and in his heightened state Fang Yuan’s concealment fails to fool him. Fang Yuan orders the corpse hidden, and Hei Lou Lan stuffs Star Lord Wan Xiang’s body into her immortal aperture. ^{ch. 726}

Seven Star Child immortal zombie howls, and starlight pillars release a horde of desolate beasts from the seven star spaces, the grotto-heaven’s advantage turned on Shi Lei. Fang Yuan says nothing more. He activates Fixed Immortal Travel, and within a few breaths he and Hei Lou Lan vanish. Three words flash through Shi Lei’s mind, Fixed Immortal Travel, immortal zombie, Fang Yuan, but Seven Star Child immortal zombie charges again before he can dwell on them. Retreating, Shi Lei stores the walking meat tree’s two segments in his aperture, meaning to grab his other loot first. ^{ch. 726}

Struck again by one star finger, he barely shakes and flies on toward the astral wind flying heavenly boar corpse, reaching out to grab it. He gets nothing. Seeing a broken mortal Gu on his own arm, he understands at once and rages that Fang Yuan must have taken the corpse. A star billow pillar then hits him squarely in the back and knocks him to the ground. ^{ch. 726}
