Chapter 904

This is a race against time between Shark Demon’s group holding off soul beasts and unraveling the battlefield killer move. Fang Yuan’s wisdom path mortal killer move now destroys seven to eight hidden Gu worms at once, up from five to six before, but he wants a faster Immortal Gu. His unravel mystery Immortal Gu cannot be turned on a battlefield killer move. ^{ch. 904}

He had tried to deduce a new immortal killer move built on unravel mystery Immortal Gu, but failed before leaving for Eastern Sea. Deducing any brand new immortal killer move takes even rank eight Gu Immortals years. Despite ordinary star path attainment, wisdom Gu let him completely deduce incomplete moves into star fire escape and projected star thought. A new move stays beyond him: his greatest drawback. ^{ch. 904}

He reasons that master level wisdom path attainment would let him design a move to unravel battlefield killer moves, and feels only regret, since Shark Demon’s promise to recommend him to Zombie Alliance secures his goal regardless. Privately, he reasons that dragging out the deduction raises his value to Shark Demon and might win him a bigger share. Bo Dan, deducing his hardest, makes barely any progress. ^{ch. 904}

Fang Yuan studies the three Gu Immortals whom Shark Demon invited for their wisdom path skill. Ninth Ghost Finger, an elderly demonic path Gu Immortal whose inheritance turns on a missing finger, sends self-detonating mortal Gu that destroy one spot or several at once, on average slightly slower than Fang Yuan but with higher wisdom path attainment. Big Bag Lu Tan Xin strikes after several breaths to destroy eight hidden Gu worms, overall slower than Ninth Ghost Finger. This confirms Shark Demon’s ranking. Xie Shu Fang, the only one of the three with wisdom path as her main path, ranks strongest. ^{ch. 904}

Two streams of vapor from Xie Shu Fang’s nose move extremely quickly, destroying up to a hundred hidden mortal Gu in a round, thinning, then regaining power when she breathes them out again. Fang Yuan takes it for an immortal killer move with incredible power, stronger than any mortal killer move he holds. He judges his own attainment too low to use unravel mystery Immortal Gu properly. But with star thought Immortal Gu, Dong Fang Chang Fan’s more refined inheritance offers at least three wisdom path immortal killer moves, two stronger than her vapor by at least five to six times. ^{ch. 904}

He wants star thought Immortal Gu for two reasons. First, he has a huge need for star thoughts, and the Immortal Gu would free his star thought stone nest for more profitable airsac Gu. Second, it is one of two cores for star fog concealment, an immortal killer move against deduction. Dong Fang Chang Fan’s mortal killer moves, even top tier, collapsed when Fang Yuan entered Eastern Sea and their mortal Gu self-detonated, so if hunted as a fugitive later he will need an immortal killer move against deductions. Refining it faces obstacles: limited funds after the relocation, and a success dao mark spent on change form Immortal Gu, leaving him exposed to ordinary failure. He judges the odds of anyone else refining one just as small, since Dong Fang Chang Fan self-detonated his own not long ago. ^{ch. 904}

Seven minutes pass. Ancient soul beasts reappear, encircling the group, though the group is not desperate, since they are close to finishing the battlefield killer move. Shark Demon stakes everything, activating the incomplete Profound Ice House, which takes everyone in and charges through the soul beast army. Ancient soul beasts surround it and attack without mercy, draining immortal essence enough to pale Shark Demon, Su Bai Man and the others’ faces. ^{ch. 904}
