    “Green, hurry go!” Yellow grabbed Green’s hand, pulling him outwards.


    “No, I will not leave! It can still be saved, look at the immortal fetus Gu, it is still alive!” Green screamed,


    struggling: “Let me go, that is my entire life’s work!”


    “You think this explosion is simply an ident? Look at the remaining rank eight immortal materials,


    take a good look at them!” Yellow called out furiously.


    Green’s body shook, rity returned to his eyes, he had a realization, his forehead was covered in


    sweat as he said with lingering fear: “These immortal materials are all full of heaven’s will. That was so


    close, a moment ago, my sense of reasoning was influenced by heaven’s will. Even after setting up this


    huge formation and hiding in Northern ins’ Earth Trench, I was still noticed by it?”


    “Only aplete otherworldly demon can be fully undetected by heaven’s will. Us being discovered is


    nothing to be discouraged over. Give up on this attempt, we will start over again.” Yellow consoled.


    Green was speechless, looking at the sandy area around him, he nodded solemnly.


    …


    “I’ve already told you, your deduction ispletely wrong, I have nothing to do with Red Lotus’ true


    inheritances.” Gu Immortal Da Li said helplessly.


    The opposing time path Gu Immortal was shrouded in fog, their appearance could not be seen. Only


    the red lotus marking on their forehead was visible, bright and red.


    They smiled coldly: “I used the time path method in Red Lotus’ true inheritance to deduce, how can that


    be wrong? Red Lotus Demon Venerable’s next true inheritance is with you.”


    Da Li was silently before replying: “There is nothing else to say, let’s fight!”


    Saying this, he charged ahead.


    “You finally stopped evading!” The mysterious Gu Immortal was filled with intent to fight.


    After a long battle.


    Gu Immortal Da Li could not defeat the other party, he was suppressed by the Immortal Gu House,


    Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage.


    …


    The myriad tribtion grand clear space finally ended.


    Spectral Soul did not put up any resistance, his entire body was hurt by the countless green birds, his


    mass had shrunk by one third.


    At the same time, Heaven Overseeing Tower was prepared to strike, it seemed to be close to getting


    out of its phantom form.


    The surrounding grey fog had dissipated by half.


    This meant that the myriad tribtion, grey memory, was already half over.


    But the tribtions from the sky still continued!


    Another myriad tribtion was gathering on top of Spectral Soul’s head.


    It seemed that as long as Spectral Soul was still alive, heaven’s will would not let him off!


    Myriad tribtion — Dark Oil Poison.


    From the sky, drops of sticky poisonous oil dripped down.


    The oil seemed to be boiling hot, when theynded on Spectral Soul’s body, there was a sizzling noise


    as smoke rose.


    The oil entered the wounds created earlier, flowing in and corroding Spectral Soul’s body, an intense


    process of rotting was urring inside.


    Soon, the poisonous oil turned from drops to streams, countless streams were raining down from the


    sky, over the surroundings.


    Spectral Soul’s huge body was bathed in poisonous oil, it was rotting at an observable rate, his body


    mass was shrinking rapidly.


    But he did not do anything.


    Ying Wu Xie, who was below, had an anxious expression.


    He wanted to call out, but he was in the grand tribtion earth copse, any movement or intense


    thinking would cause him to sink further.


    “What is wrong with you guys, both of you are acting like this!” He grumbled, looking at immortal


    zombie Bo Qing beside him.


    From the start, immortal zombie Bo Qing was like a statue, not moving, it was as if he was dead, he


    was unmoved by anything outside.


    Thankfully, they were below Spectral Soul’s feet.


    Being covered by Spectral Soul’s body which was above the clouds, the myriad tribtion did not


    cause any harm to Ying Wu Xie or immortal zombie Bo Qing.


    A very far distance away.


    Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were assisting each other as they escaped.


    Behind them, a group of Southern Border Gu Immortals were chasing them.


    The xenophobia of the five regions’ Gu Immortals was quite strong. Even in the most open Eastern


    Sea, foreign Gu Immortals did not have an easy time, they were often ostracized and bullied by


    Eastern Sea Gu Immortals.


    In the earlier battle, after Hei Lou Lan nearly killed a Southern Border Gu Immortal, the situation


    became uncontroble.


    The Southern Border Gu Immortals flew into a rage, these Northern ins outsiders were so arrogant


    and bullying them, not only did they fight in Southern Border, they injured them. Where did they think


    they were?


    Thus, the chasing continued, not just that, they even gathered their allies and reinforcements.


    Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were not in good condition to begin with, they were injured. They


    battle as they retreated, under their skillful movement, they got farther and farther away from Yi Tian


    Mountain.


    No matter how huge Hei Lou Lan’s ambition was, she did not dare to get close to that ce again.


    That was not the stage for rank six Gu Immortals.


    Not even rank sevens, and rank eights also could only be side characters.


    That was a battlefield where Spectral Soul and heaven’s will fought!


    The myriad tribtion dark oil poison had already ended, Spectral Soul was now surrounded by


    another myriad tribtion.


    This myriad tribtion was unknown, it had broken the limits of historical records.


    It was formless and ethereal, only a mystical aura that could not be perceived was around.


    The aura coiled around him, causing Spectral Soul’s body to explode wherever it went. Spectral Soul


    was a soul, but it was so condensed it was like material, it was as if it was a soul beast.


    With the explosions caused by the aura, the huge mountainous body vanished, only a framework of it


    was left, huge pieces of the soul were sted away.


    In the grey fog, another scene appeared.


    Old Man Yan Shi coughed blood, he held heavenly secret Immortal Gu as he muttered: “So Fang Yuan


    has Spring Autumn Cicada. No wonder he could refine Fixed Immortal Travel and go to Central


    Continent’s Hu Immortal blessednd and obtain Dang Hun Mountain. He then destroyed Imperial


    Court blessednd and caused the copse of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!”

    “Since he is an otherworldly demon who possesses Spring Autumn Cicada, he has clearly escaped


    fate… hehehe, this can be the best tool against heaven’s will. Fine, I will conceal the tracks of you and


    Tai Bai Yun Sheng, to prevent others from deducing matters about you.”


    …


    Qin Bai Sheng secretly watched the immemorial ruin bat as well as the numerous cmities and


    tribtions in this area.


    This was the time when Dong Fang Chang Fan had undergone possession and was going through


    tribtion.


    “Dong Fang Chang Fan was merely using possession to revive, but his main body’s aura was


    perceived by heaven’s will, sending such a terrifying disaster. In the future, when our main body tries to


    revive, the tribtions would likely be worse!”


    The zing Glory Lightning Brilliance immortal zombie nodded beside him: “We can leave, this test


    against heaven’s will has ended. Why is Chu Rong not back yet?”


    At this time, Fairy Jiang Yu appeared with a terrible expression: “Chu Rong is dead, the operation to


    take back Modest Thatched Hut failed!”


    “What happened?” Qin Bai Sheng was mildly shocked: “Chu Rong is a fire path grandmaster with rank


    seven cultivation level.”


    “It is the inheritor of Three Thatch Demon Immortal.” Fairy Jiang Yu said: “This person was deeply


    concealed, his methods were ruthless, I almost failed to make it back.”


    “Three Thatch Demon Immortal… Hmph, forget it, we will give up on Modest Thatched Hut. Before the


    commencement of our crucial n, we cannot expose our identities over this Immortal Gu House and


    cause heaven’s will to attack us in advance.” Qin Bai Sheng thought for a moment and said this.


    …


    Luo Po valley.


    Shadow Sect’s group faced the Central Continent Gu Immortals with grim expressions.


    Qin Bai Sheng stared at Feng Jiu Ge, sighing: “Heaven’s will’s attack is already here. In order to


    protect the pawn Fang Yuan, Yan Shi concealed his traces. Central Continent’s Gu Immortals


    investigated Fang Yuan and in following their clues, instead found us.”


    “What do we do?” Fairy Jiang Yu asked.


    “We have no choice but to fight.” Qin Bai Sheng gritted his teeth and said.


    …


    “Cough, cough, cough…” Old Man Yan Shi coughed continuously, his expression was pale, he was so


    exhausted that it seemed like he would die from being out of breath.


    “I used heavenly secret Gu and consumed a hundred years of lifespan. But it was worth it, I deduced


    that Spring Autumn Cicada’s condition is bad, it has already been used.”


    “Seeing that Fang Yuan went to Yi Tian Mountain in advance, he evidently knows about the battle of Yi


    Tian Mountain. With this, I can deduce that our main body has already failed once, thus, he had to use


    that Red Lotus true inheritance to make Fang Yuan rebirth, sending him back to the past to change the


    future. Heh, thankfully, Spring Autumn Cicada is only rank six, it is nothing scary.”


    “In that case, Fang Yuan is the best method of measurement. Looking at his future performance, I can


    deduce even more things.”


    “Would searching his soul directly be easier? Or would it affect the entire situation?”


    …


    “In ordance to my nning, Bo Qing and Seven Star Child have already slowed down Heavenly


    Court as much as possible. This result should be a lot betterpared to thest time.”


    Old Man Yan Shi sat in the pavilion, looking at the mountain and fog change mysteriously.


    “On Zombie Alliance’s side, the arrangements are set, we can use them as a backup. It would be best


    to preserve them, sigh, I hope we do not need to use them.”


    “Using the newly obtained lifespan Gu, I have about twenty years left. It is time to die. It is natural for


    my split soul to return to the main body. But before dying, I should help the main body deduce the


    tribtions of the following heaven defying n.”


    A momentter.


    “Cough, cough, cough, I didn’t die? This means that I have already deduced all of the tribtions? No,


    it is because every wisdom path advisor of Shadow Sect, from generation after generation, had been


    deducing all along, we finally umted enough foundation to create a qualitative change!”


    “Hehehe, this is so ironic. Using heavenly secret Immortal Gu as the core, the wisdom path killer move


    created can deduce the contents of the tribtions. But this Immortal Gu was created by Paradise


    Earth. He had tried to get rid of the main body’s influence all his life, to think that after dying, he actually


    provided us such huge help.”


    …


    Seeing this, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were shocked beyond words.


    It turned out that Shadow Sect had already deduced the tribtions! That meant it was very suspicious


    that Spectral Soul was not moving inside the myriad tribtions.


    The mysterious myriad tribtion had gone away, the next myriad tribtion descended.


    Vine dragon tribtion!


    Countless green vines with sharp thorns shot out from the sky and ground, coiling around Spectral


    Soul’s body.


    Soon, millions of vines surrounded Spectral Soul tightly, forming a huge ball.


    They coiled around him relentlessly, bing tighter and tighter, stabbing into his body and using the


    Demon Venerable’s soul as their nutrients!


    “Something is wrong! Something is wrong!”


    “He is doing this on purpose, look at that ten extreme formation!”


    Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals shifted their gazes around as they came to realizations.


    Because Shadow Sect had deduced the tribtions, they could make arrangements around them.


    Spectral Soul purposely did not put up resistance because he wanted to fuse his soul path foundation


    into this formation, as the nutrients for this formation.


    “What is he trying to refine? He actually used his own demonic soul as Gu refinement material!”


    “Not just that, with so many myriad tribtions around him, they are actually carving space path,


    poison path, qi path, and wood path dao marks on his body, to destroy his soul path dao marks. They


    could harm Spectral Soul because these dao marks were not weaker than the soul path foundation that


    he had umted for thest hundred thousand years!”


    Gasp…


    Sensing this, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals drew in deep and chilling breaths.


    It seemed that Spectral Soul was not only refining himself, he was even using the power of the myriad


    tribtions to achieve his goals.


    But what was his goal?


    The ten extreme formation was at the final juncture. In the dark fog, the ball of light was bing


    brighter and rounder.


    Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord’s heart sank to rock bottom.


    He had a determined expression, he said solemnly: “We cannot go on like this, we have to ruin


    Spectral Soul’s scheme! No matter what he is refining, we have to destroy this ten extreme formation.”


    “But we are in phantom form.”


    “No, we have one chance to retaliate. This is something that generation after generation of Heaven


    Overseeing Tower Lords have created after researching. It has always been kept as a confidential


    secret!” Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord said.


    Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals heard this and were joyful and surprised: “Why don’t you use it?”


    Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord smiled bitterly, he told them the price for using it.


    Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals fell into deathly silence.
