"Fang Yuan is truly well prepared for this earthly calamity. I don't remember Hu Immortal possessing these killer moves… are they her hidden trump cards?"
"Who knows? Everyone has their own secrets. But let's see how long the land spirit can hold against this desolate beast. Although Swamp Crab is only an ordinary desolate beast, its defense is exceptionally strong among desolate beasts."
Ten Gu Immortals from the ten great ancient sects observed the earthly calamity occurring within Hu Immortal Blessed Land, each offering their own opinion.
Because of the earthly calamity, several cracks had appeared in the blessed land, enough for them to at least peer inside. However, the land spirit acted very cautiously and immediately sealed those openings using immortal essence.
This left the Gu Immortals unable to grasp the overall situation, though they still managed to gather some information — such as the killer moves revealed by the land spirit, the enormous fox groups, and the type of earthly calamity the blessed land was facing.
Overall, however, they believed the land spirit was handling the earthly calamity extremely well.
He Feng Yang felt increasingly tense.
If Fang Yuan managed to survive this earthly calamity without suffering severe losses, then the likelihood of forcing him to join Immortal Crane Sect would become extremely low.
The same thing had happened in the previous life. Immortal Crane Sect had publicly declared Fang Yuan to be one of their disciples, and that had been their trump card in the struggle over Dang Hun Mountain!
Of course, their evidence was that Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng were twin brothers so alike that distinguishing them was difficult.
At the same time, they had paid a tremendous price to calm the anger of the ten ancient sects.
But if they obtained Dang Hun Mountain, the profits would become many times greater than their initial investment!
The problem was that if Fang Yuan passed the earthly calamity without much difficulty, he might grow arrogant and decide he was satisfied remaining within the blessed land without responding to Immortal Crane Sect at all.
He Feng Yang did not understand Fang Yuan's way of thinking, so he had to assume the worst possibility.
"I must send him a message urging him to cooperate with us. The supreme elders entrusted this mission to me — I cannot disappoint them!"
He Feng Yang took out several mortal information path Gu worms and waited until another crack appeared within the blessed land before sending them inside.
Inside the blessed land, the phantom of the Three-Tailed Fox had already been destroyed, but it had severely injured Swamp Crab. Meanwhile, the desolate beast continued suffering attacks from both the fox hordes and the land spirit.
Fang Yuan observed the battle unfolding outside while simultaneously dividing part of his focus within Dang Hun Mountain.
Deep inside the mountain, a disgusting mass of rotten mud slowly spread outward, gradually polluting the entire Dang Hun Mountain.
Yet Fang Yuan was not worried in the slightest.
He already knew that the desolate beast Swamp Crab possessed Mud Gruel Immortal Gu.
And that Immortal Gu had already been used upon Dang Hun Mountain.
However, beneath this earthly calamity lay a deeper scheme.
Using Mud Gruel Immortal Gu, Dang Hun Mountain would slowly die and eventually transform into nothing but a pile of rotten mud.
Thus, Fang Yuan would be forced to seek a solution. And with his suspiciously accurate future knowledge, he would inevitably choose the easiest and most optimal option.
The Northern Plains.
There, he would participate in the Imperial Court contest. Under the pressure of life and death, combined with Heaven's Will's malicious influence, he would undergo immortal ascension, allowing Heaven's Will to seize the opportunity and destroy Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
"In the end, all of this was Heaven's Will's scheme. Looking back at things now, many events in my life were influenced by Heaven's Will…"
"But this game is wide enough for two players. A player can become a pawn, and a pawn can become a player. In the end, roles are always exchanged."
Fang Yuan smiled before turning his focus toward Swamp Crab.
It was finally time for him to act personally and test the tremendous growth he had achieved.
In the next moment, Fang Yuan left Dang Hun Mountain and transformed into a seven-meter-tall zombie with six arms. Terrifying muscles exploded with monstrous strength capable of shaking mountains and terrifying the heavens.
The zombie possessed crimson skin, four sword-like fangs protruding from its mouth, and black claws nearly four feet long on each arm.
White steam surged from his body as Fang Yuan released an overwhelming aura of death and violently collided with Swamp Crab!
Swamp Crab released a savage screech as countless smaller pincers burst forth, crushing toward Fang Yuan's body!
Yet Fang Yuan merely smiled and activated the killer move he had prepared long ago.
Killer Move — Myriad Self!
Thousands upon thousands of Fang Yuans suddenly appeared, charging toward Swamp Crab while shouting excitedly.
Some grabbed the pincers and tore them apart.
Others smashed against Swamp Crab's shell, exploding mud everywhere.
Fang Yuan himself grabbed the main pincer and, with booming laughter resembling a beastly roar, ripped Swamp Crab's claw completely apart!
Their battle shook both heaven and earth.
Little Hu Immortal could only stare in shock with her mouth wide open as she watched Fang Yuan's every movement.
Every attack he unleashed carried enough force to overturn rivers and drag stars down from the sky!
"So strong! …When did Master become this powerful?!"
Fang Yuan displayed horrifying battle strength, not losing to Swamp Crab in terms of raw physical might!
But in reality, he was only able to fight evenly against Swamp Crab because the desolate beast had already been exhausted and heavily injured. It was no longer as powerful as it had been at the beginning.
If Fang Yuan had been forced to fight it from the start, he could still have maintained a stable position against it, but eventually he would have lost once his primeval essence reserves reached their limit.
Yet now, Fang Yuan smashed his fist forward, shattering the desolate beast's shell.
Then his giant leg kicked out violently, crushing the primitive eyes upon Swamp Crab's head as fragments of chitin and flesh exploded everywhere.
The battle continued only briefly before Swamp Crab's enormous body finally collapsed onto the ground… dead.
