Chapter 124: Spectral Soul Demon Venerable
Heaven Overseeing Tower was a rank nine Immortal Gu House with astonishing defense and with fate Immortal Gu as its core, it had a defensive effect against calamities and tribulations.
But Fang Yuan's Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, under the effect of Giant Sun's immortal essence, was able to display extraordinary might, displaying the wonders of time path, its strength did not decrease but increased.
After a wave of this grand tribulation, Shadow Sect's Sacred Feather City suffered the biggest damage. Even if they had used large numbers of wish power mortal Gu, it could not match Fang Yuan and Heavenly Court.
The relic vajra tribulation continued for eight minutes before stopping abruptly.
Without letting the three sides have time for a breather, a second wave of tribulation descended.
Circles of light lit up in the sky, from within the circles of light, multiple giant deer charged out.
Immemorial desolate beast — Destiny Light Deer!
The light deer group galloped towards the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation, in an instant, Shadow Sect's group paled.
A gap quickly expanded in the ten extreme formation, letting half of the deer group enter inside.
"Destiny light deer have gentle natures, they are named in beautiful legends where they carried humans to the heavens. Who would have thought that under the influence of heaven's will, these deer would go berserk and be filled with intent to battle!"
Despite Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals not wanting to participate, by being in this situation, they were unable to evade and were also involved.
Fang Yuan controlled Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage to retreat to the edge of the battle.
Fang Yuan had captured many vajra pearls earlier, he used them now to force the deer away.
In the second wave of tribulations, Heavenly Court's situation was best, Fang Yuan second, and Shadow Sect had the heaviest pressure on them, their situation extremely critical.
At the crucial moment, it was immortal zombie Bo Qing who stood out.
He activated famous and dazzling sword path killer moves like five finger fist heart sword, their power unstoppable and terrifying.
Most of the destiny light deer lost their lives on the spot under the slashes of sword lights. Even if they had wild Immortal Gu, it was of no use.
Immortal zombie Bo Qing persevered bitterly, finally letting Shadow Sect get through the second wave of grand tribulations.
However, the dark clouds in the sky was already extremely sparse, the ten extreme physique immortal zombies were no longer able to conceal themselves and were vaguely visible.
Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord saw this good opportunity, and Heaven Overseeing Tower moved out, adding insult to Shadow Sect's injury.
"What to do?!" Inside Sacred Feather City, Ying Wu Xie had his head in his hands, unable to do anything to help.
The ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation was completed, and would either succeed or fail, there was no other result. Once the formation was broken, everything would fall apart in succession.
"There is nothing else we can do, we can only sacrifice Zombie Alliance!" Seven Star Child heaved a long sigh, before coming to a decision.
The backup plan was activated, one after another, figures appeared within the ten extreme formation.
These were immortal zombies from all the Zombie Alliance branches. Numerous rank six, rank seven and rank eight zombies appeared, their numbers were shocking.
"This is?!" Inside Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage, Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and the Fairy Li Shan were wide-eyed as they blurted out together.
"Hmph! Sure enough, Shadow Sect was behind Zombie Alliance," Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord frowned, killing intent surging within him, his gaze turning cold, "Good! We will catch all these rebels that defy heaven's will in one fell swoop."
But unexpectedly, these immortal zombies did not seem to be in a conscious state and were like puppets controlled by wires.
Before Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord could make a move, they actually sacrificed themselves, turning into a portion of the ten extreme formation!
"Big sister!" Fairy Li Shan howled in grief.
Among these immortal zombies, she saw Blazing Heaven Demoness' figure.
But this rank eight immortal zombie, the leader of Northern Plains' Zombie Alliance branch, did not seem to be in a conscious state, showing a blank expression.
Under the gazes of Fairy Li Shan and Hei Lou Lan, Blazing Heaven Demoness also followed these immortal zombies, turning herself into immortal material, merging into the huge formation.
Obtaining these immortal zombie bodies filled with dao marks as well as countless Immortal Gu and immortal apertures, the ten extreme formation's dark clouds condensed and instantly expanded, surpassing its previous peak state, and reaching an unprecedented level, almost covering the whole sky.
Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord had an extremely unsightly expression.
The immortals from Heavenly Court behind him also showed worried expressions.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
A piercing sound penetrated everyone's ears.
The third wave of grand tribulations had descended.
Sharp rain started falling from the sky. Every drizzle of rain was only half an inch long, but they were incomparably sharp as if they could pierce through everything in the world!
Grand tribulation — Absolute Piercing Rain.
The ten extreme formation was reconstructed, but the dense rumbling dark clouds seemed to have suffered a huge blow, unable to regain their strength.
Fang Yuan repeated the same thing, using Giant Sun's immortal essence to activate Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage to absorb the piercing rain.
After holding on bitterly for a while, Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage was pierced in many places with large numbers of Gu worms continuing to be sacrificed.
"If this continues, the Immortal Gu House can probably only last fifteen minutes of time." Hei Lou Lan called out to Fang Yuan.
The third wave ended, Sacred Feather City and Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage were both shattered, the remaining Gu worms were stored by the respective Gu Immortals.
Heaven Overseeing Tower was filled with cracks, many times deeper than before, a corner of the tower had even completely crumbled apart.
"Everything is over. The final victor can only be Heavenly Court!" Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord laughed loudly, activating the strongest attack of Heaven Overseeing Tower.
"It's over." Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord stood on top of Heaven Overseeing Tower, looking at the battlefield.
In his field of vision, Shadow Sect's Sacred Feather City had turned into rubble, Bo Qing, Seven Star Child and others had fallen to the ground as corpses. Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage was heavily damaged, the Gu Immortals' corpses inside were mostly in pieces.
"This is what happens to those who defy heaven's will! Hahaha…" Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord laughed loudly.
But after a few seconds, he frowned, feeling suspicious that something was amiss: "Oh wait, Heaven Overseeing Tower was damaged and cannot use Fate's strongest attack, why did it manage to attack earlier?"
"Also… I could not help but laugh earlier, that is not my normal behavior, what is going on?"
At this moment, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord could vaguely hear some faint voices in the sky.
"Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, wake up…"
"Quickly wake up!"
"Wake up? Aren't I awake now?" Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord felt greatly surprised, the suspicion inside him grew.
Suddenly, his body shook, he realized the truth.
"Oh no! I fell into their trap, everything that happened is not real, I am inside a dream realm!"
"I can confirm that I am in a dream realm! However, how do I leave?" Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was anxious.
Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was sleeping soundly.
Snore snore snore…
He was snoring loudly, lying down on the concrete floor with a band of Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals around him.
Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals surrounded Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord in the middle, they poured water on him, they used fire to burn him, they shouted until their throats were sore, they tried all methods, but he could not wake up.
Outside Heaven Overseeing Tower, the battle was extremely heated, the sky turned dark, as the grand tribulation rumbled.
Heaven Overseeing Tower floated in the sky, unmoving.
Inside the tower, the Heavenly Court immortals were anxious, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord's soul was deeply in the dream, they had no methods to wake him.
All they could do was to use some wisdom path methods to transmit to him, to try and get Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord to wake himself up.
On Shadow Sect's side, the atmosphere was no longer as dreary, it was much more relaxed now.
"Ying Wu Xie, good job!"
"This is the power of dream path? Amazing!"
"Ah… after so long, you finally have rank eight cultivation level."
Shadow Sect's Gu Immortals surrounded Ying Wu Xie, some of them relaxed, after all, the situation earlier was too dangerous. Some were in awe towards the power of dream path, some patted Ying Wu Xie's shoulders and praised him continuously.
After fighting for so long, Ying Wu Xie with the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique had advanced again, becoming a rank eight dream path Gu Immortal.
Thus, he could use a rank eight immortal killer move — Lead Soul Into Dream.
Seven Star Child asked: "How long will Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord be trapped for?"
Ying Wu Xie answered: "He is a rank eight Gu Immortal who has passed one myriad tribulation, the dream realm can only trap him for several minutes. But even if he escapes, I can still use the killer move to lead his soul into a dream once again!"
"Good, Yan Shi did not create you in vain." Seven Star Child sighed.
At this time, Heaven Overseeing Tower began to move again.
"What is going on?" Shadow Sect's immortals were shocked.
Someone looked towards Ying Wu Xie: "Did Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord get out?"
Ying Wu Xie shook his head, he was certain: "Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord is still in the dream. It seems that the other Heavenly Court Gu Immortals are manipulating the tower instead!"
But soon, Heaven Overseeing Tower stopped moving again.
This was seen by Fang Yuan's group.
Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan had doubtful and angry expressions: "What is Heavenly Court trying to do?!"
Fang Yuan said solemnly: "It seems that Shadow Sect used dream path methods to deal with the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals, just like what they tried with me."
We do not have the Immortal Gu House to protect us, and Shadow Sect has also lost Sacred Feather City. Only Heavenly Court still has Heaven Overseeing Tower. But they are obstructed by Shadow Sect, we are in grave danger! Fang Yuan, can you use Fixed Immortal Travel again?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng was full of worries.
"I can't." Fang Yuan shook his head, sighing deeply.
"It seems that now, we are dead meat." Hei Lou Lan smiled bitterly, a harsh light shined in her eyes as she clenched her fists: "It is a pity that Hei Cheng isn't dead yet, I cannot avenge my mother even up until death!"
At this time, in the sky, the sound of a zither playing could be heard.
Right now was daytime, but the sky was shining with endless starlight.
The music entered the formation, into the Gu Immortals' minds.
"Oh no! The ten extreme formation also defends against sound path methods, but the formation cannot block this zither music at all. This is the fourth grand tribulation — zither mind tribulation!"
"And the starlight in the sky, it is so bright even during daytime. This is the fifth grand tribulation — star flow tribulation!"
"Why is it so dangerous?! The fourth and fifth grand tribulations appeared together!!"
In Heaven Overseeing Tower, Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals also drew in deep breaths.
"What is Shadow Sect trying to refine? They actually attracted such fury from heaven, to send down such terrifying disaster!" Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals had many questions.
The two grand tribulations had not descended yet, they were still storing power.
"It seems that we are going to die in the grand tribulations after all." Hei Lou Lan sighed.
The zither music suddenly became louder, it was heard by everyone.
The immortals' expressions changed, they felt the world spinning, some of them fell down.
The zither mind grand tribulation had started!
In the sky, starlight gushed down like a huge blue tsunami, it extended over an endless distance, crashing down.
Star flow grand tribulation!
Shadow Sect's immortals had firm expressions that were prepared for death, they encouraged each other as they charged forward. Only Ying Wu Xie was left, dealing with Heaven Overseeing Tower.
Fang Yuan's side was on the ground, they had pale expressions, desperately resisting the power of the zither mind grand tribulation.
At this moment, an incredibly powerful aura with supreme strength burst out of the ruins of Yi Tian Mountain!
An immortal aperture's entrance opened.
This was Shadow Sect's blessed land.
Feeling this aura, all of the Gu Immortals' hearts shook.
Even the rank eight Heavenly Court Gu Immortals had pale expressions, their eyes were full of fear.
Shadow Sect's immortals had overjoyed expressions.
"Our main body… has appeared!"
Boom!
A huge and monstrous ghostly hand moved out of the immortal aperture's entrance.
The rank nine aura grew immensely!
A formless shock wave swept across the battlefield.
Rocks broke and rumbled, dust and smoke rose.
"This is? This is!" Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were tongue-tied.
"Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!" Inside Heaven Overseeing Tower, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord had finally woken up, he felt immense pressure in his mind as he exposed the identity of the ghostly hand.
