Chapter 782

Desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts rise across Tai Qiu, and the Gu Immortals flying above slow down. Chang Fan’s arrangements are meticulous and interlinked, and he had completely deduced what today would bring. Even after his death, those arrangements make huge problems for these Gu Immortals. To the beasts, Dong Fang Yu Liang’s mortal party passed through like harmless butterflies. But the Gu Immortals read as invaders, and the beasts unite to defend their sanctuary. ^{ch. 782}

The Gu Immortals are apprehensive at the beasts’ numbers. Rivalry over the inheritance keeps them from working together in good faith. Fighting the beasts risks destroying the teleportation Gu formation’s traces, so they press on toward it while trying to avoid both the beasts and each other. These demonic path rivals would certainly not mind killing off some competitors given the chance. ^{ch. 782}

A desolate beast engages He Ruo, called Peacock Flying Immortal, a transformation path specialist. She flees rather than fight, turning into a bird and passing the other Gu Immortals to become closest to the Gu formation. A rank seven Gu Immortal, Pi Shui Han, demonic path and cultivating ice and water path together, blocks her with a wave and mocks her. She activates her Immortal Gu, her body swelling and her speed rising sharply. She flies past his first waves, then climbs as two water walls rise with her, and though he closes in he can do nothing to her for a time. ^{ch. 782}

Divine Lord Tian Du, a lightning path expert who once helped pressure a Zombie Alliance immortal zombie into a bad trade, activates his movement killer move. He surpasses everyone to become closest instead. Unfettered Scholar stops him. Tian Du calls on Shi Hou to help, and together they attack, but Unfettered Scholar releases two Immortal Gu that blast both men back while he stands unhurt. ^{ch. 782}

Gu Immortal Lu Qing Ming, Su Guang, and Han Dong, the Traveling Three Elites whose joined strength can match rank seven, form a chariot shaped killer move and charge on, nobody able to stop them, to land on the Gu formation first. But a huge ruin bat, a space path desolate beast carrying concealment Gu, swallows all three and flies off. This costs them the opportunity without putting them in mortal danger. ^{ch. 782}

The desolate beasts of Tai Qiu now surround the Gu Immortals for open battle. Among them are a white hoof ink horse, a peach wolf, a blood tongue tree, three coiling mountain goats, a lawless antelope, and the qi path ancient desolate beast primeval return peacock. The Gu Immortals stay wary of each other even as they fight. ^{ch. 782}

Fang Yuan, Hei Lou Lan, and Fairy Li Shan move carefully toward the Gu formation. A bull shaped beast blocks them. Gu Immortal Zhuo Zhan, wielding a hammer in red bronze armor, charges them accusing them of trying to rob him, while Divine Lord Tian Du sends his Immortal Gu, Thunder Shuttle, at them as lightning. ^{ch. 782}

Fang Yuan tells the other two not to worry and summons countless mortal Gu worms circling the strength path Immortal Gu, Self Strength. It bursts into a light lump linking to his waiting phantom army. He calls the immortal killer move Myriad Self, First Style, Giant Hand. Tens of thousands of phantoms raise their hands as group strength Gu enter the light, and in the outside world a strength path giant hand appears. It pushes the bull beast into the air, grips Thunder Shuttle, then punches at Zhuo Zhan, who flees in panic. ^{ch. 782}
