A tumultuous storm suddenly surged in Yuan Fang's heart, and an uncontrollable panic instantly swept through his entire body.
He never expected that within the Human Path Blessed Land he had painstakingly managed, someone would dare to risk Immortal Ascension, forcefully Undergoing Tribulation there!
His current cultivation was only Rank Six Gu Immortal, and the Foundation of his Blessed Land was shallow, with severely insufficient reserves. It simply couldn't withstand the massive consumption of heaven and earth Qi brought by the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
At this moment, the heaven and earth Qi within the Blessed Land was rapidly draining at an astonishing speed.
If this continued, it wouldn't be long before his entire Human Path Blessed Land would face the catastrophe of collapse and disintegration.
Yuan Fang dared not delay in the slightest. He found the most secretive and safe corner and steadily landed his immortal aperture.
Then, he desperately tried his best to absorb the heaven and earth Qi within a hundred-li radius, barely maintaining the spatial stability of the Blessed Land to prevent the situation from spiraling completely out of control.
Li Seek Defeat, who had caused this shocking catastrophe, was now floating in mid-air, his body's human Qi steaming like wolf smoke.
His Aura soared to the sky, shaking the clouds, as he absorbed the surging heaven and earth Qi within the Blessed Land without any reservations.
He was originally a Qi Path Gu Master, and his control and understanding of the heaven, earth, and human Qi far surpassed most Gu Masters of the same rank in the world.
In just a short moment, he completely balanced and stabilized the violently turbulent three Qi within his body.
Furthermore, he had been a member of Lang Ya Sect in his early years and had an astonishing number of earth qi gu in his possession, so balancing the three Qi was not difficult. The immortal aperture naturally formed slowly within his body.
Li Seek Defeat, right under Yuan Fang's nose, within Yuan Fang's Human Path Blessed Land, had forcefully embarked on the path to Immortal Ascension, achieving the position of a Qi Path Gu Immortal in one fell swoop!
Above the sky, the calamity cloud gathered at a visible speed, becoming thicker and more oppressive, pressing down on the Blessed Land like an overturned earth.
The terrifying Immortal Ascension Tribulation descended with a roar, and torrential rain poured down, making the ground within the Blessed Land rumble endlessly and all things tremble.
Yuan Fang was now preoccupied with his own safety and had no time to spare for other matters. While stabilizing his own immortal aperture, he immediately sent a message to summon his team of Human Path Clones, ordering them to rush into the Human Path Blessed Land.
Either directly kill Li Seek Defeat to eliminate the root of the disaster, or quickly evacuate and transfer the innocent Gu Masters and Mortals within the Blessed Land to minimize the huge losses caused by this catastrophe.
The crowd within the Blessed Land had long been scared to Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering by this sudden catastrophe, scattering in panic.
Crying, screaming, and footsteps mingled together in a chaotic mess.
In this chaos, only Gu Yue Fuqi stood steadily in place, the light of his defense Gu worms flowing around him ceaselessly.
Gu Yue Fuqi gazed intently at Li Seek Defeat, who was Undergoing Tribulation in mid-air, a glint of light hidden deep in his eyes that others could not detect.
His heart was as clear as a mirror: this was not only a monstrous disaster capable of destroying everything, but also a once-in-a-lifetime, supreme Opportunity to change his destiny.
In his heart, he had already quietly begun to scheme and plot for himself.
Just then, within the thick calamity cloud in mid-air, a bone-chilling cold light suddenly erupted.
Countless bizarre, unpredictable, and fiercely malevolent Qi shot out from the depths of the clouds, sweeping towards Li Seek Defeat like life-reaping ghosts, covering the sky and earth.
This was the incredibly powerful Immortal Path Killer Move in the Immortal Ascension Tribulation — Myriad Qi Returning to One!
Among these countless Qi, there was mad Qi that could drive people insane and make them lose their minds, poisonous Qi that could corrode the Physical Body and Divine Soul, causing them to rot inch by inch, twilight Qi that could devour the lifespan of living beings, making them age in an instant, Saber Qi that could cleave metal and stone, split mountains and break Peaks, and Death Qi that could turn living people into zombies...
All sorts of fierce and malevolent Qi intertwined, their power terrifying to the extreme. If it were any other Gu Master in the world, even a Peak Rank Five expert, just a touch would instantly cause their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, leaving no burial ground.
But Li Seek Defeat remained motionless, floating quietly in mid-air, his expression as calm as water, without the slightest ripple.
He was already completely enveloped by the myriad Qi, seemingly trapped with no escape, a certain death situation.
Yet, on his face, there was no sign of retreat or fear, but rather a hint of arrogance that disdained everything.
The fleeing crowd below was all terrified, and a question spontaneously arose in their hearts:
What exactly does this Li Seek Defeat want to do?
He slowly closed his eyes, composed himself, and allowed the myriad adverse Qi to surge into his body.
Mad Qi violently clashed with his Divine Soul, making his mind restless and on the verge of splitting; fire Qi fiercely burned his Physical Body, causing flames to surge around him; poisonous Qi continuously eroded his internal organs, making his face as pale as paper...
Such extreme pain and torment would have driven others to collapse and go mad. Yet, his expression remained unchanged, as if his Physical Body and Divine Soul had transcended the shackles of all worldly pain, remaining unmoved.
"Is this Devil Head Li crazy? He's actually facing the catastrophe head-on; isn't this clearly seeking death?"
A frantically fleeing Rank Five Gu Master couldn't help but look back, his eyes filled with incredulous shock.
"He must have known there was no escape, so he simply gave up resisting!"
"No, look quickly! What is that Qi..."
"It's an immortal gu! Absolutely, it's the unique Qi of an immortal gu! It really is an immortal gu!"
Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Li Seek Defeat slowly opened his eyes, his voice calm and unruffled, yet carrying an arrogant madness that dominated heaven and earth and looked down on all living beings:
"Immortal Path Killer Move—Qi Embracing All Rivers, Greatness in Inclusiveness!"
The moment his voice fell, an incredible scene dramatically appeared. Saber Qi, fire Qi, Devilish Qi, poisonous Qi, Death Qi, twilight Qi, Sword Qi, strength Qi, corpse Qi...
The myriad complex and adverse Qi in the world, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, were all swallowed into his body in one breath, converging into a round, full, and shimmering Qi mass in his Dantian, at the location of his immortal aperture.
At the same time, the heaven and earth Qi in the world surged again, frantically pouring into the Qi mass, making its light even more dazzling and brilliant, almost illuminating the entire Blessed Land.
"He... he's still Gu Refining!!!"
"It's an immortal gu! Another rank six immortal gu! Refining two immortal gu in such a short time, this is simply unheard of!"
The Qi mass completely merged with the boundless heaven and earth Qi, transforming into a warm, lustrous white pearl, sculpted like beautiful jade.
The next moment, a crisp and pleasant cracking sound slowly spread. The white jade pearl slowly split open, and a rice-grain-sized, entirely white Gu worm slowly flew out from it, quietly hovering above Li Seek Defeat's palm.
rank six Qi Path immortal gu — Arrogant Qi!
This Gu's appearance resembles a grain of rice, taking the meaning of 'people take food as their heaven, with enough food and clothing, the world will be prosperous';
Its power is even more overbearing and unparalleled, capable of suppressing almost all miscellaneous and evil Qi in the world, truly 'arrogant and overbearing,' with all Qi submitting;
It can also contain myriad Death Qi and bear the Luck of a prosperous age.
The only drawback is that the food of Arrogant Qi immortal gu is Luck. Once Luck is exhausted, Arrogant Qi will dissipate on its own between heaven and earth.
The immortal gu appeared, radiating boundless light, blinding everyone present.
This unprecedented Qi Path immortal gu had officially descended upon the world!
Just as all eyes were on him, five figures suddenly descended from the sky, landing in five directions around the battlefield, completely surrounding Li Seek Defeat in the center.
The newcomers were precisely the five Gu Immortals: Lin Hong, Xiao Mang, Scarless White, Gu Yue Qingzhuo, and Eastern Orc, all five of Yuan Fang's top combat strengths were present!
"Li Seek Defeat! How dare you! You dared to ascend to immortality without permission, triggering the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, bringing disaster to the four corners of the Blessed Land! Today, only by killing you on the spot can this catastrophe be quelled!"
Xiao Mang let out a sharp, cold shout. Before his words even finished, the five Rank Six Gu Immortals simultaneously activated their Killer Moves.
Five terrifying Immortal Path Killer Moves were unleashed together, like five world-destroying torrents, rushing directly towards Li Seek Defeat in mid-air!
However, the Immortal Ascension Tribulation in the sky did not cease; instead, it grew even more violent, with countless adverse Qi still continuously gushing out.
The five Gu Immortals were wary of the power of the Immortal Ascension Tribulation and for a time dared not get too close to Li Seek Defeat, fearing being affected by the catastrophe.
Only Li Seek Defeat, relying on the two Qi Path immortal gu he had just refined, was almost completely immune to all adverse Qi in the world, moving freely and at ease amidst the sky full of tribulation Qi.
Gu Yue Qingzhuo's eyes flashed, and a thought of stealing the immortal gu arose in his mind. He immediately secretly activated his most skilled and proud Killer Move:
"Immortal Path Killer Move—Flower Exchange, Wood Grafting!"
This move had always been effective, specializing in stealing other people's Gu worms, but today it hit a solid wall, encountering a formidable opponent.
Not only did Gu Yue Qingzhuo fail to steal even half a Gu worm from Li Seek Defeat, but he also lost two precious Rank Five Mortal Gu for nothing.
Only then did he realize, belatedly—Arrogant Qi was the Qi of a prosperous age destined by heaven, and it could not be stolen or moved!
Just as in history, some people overthrew a prosperous empire, but ultimately could not bring about their own prosperous age.
Under the protection of the Arrogant Qi immortal gu, Li Seek Defeat's Gu worms were indestructible, and others simply could not touch them.
Most Killer Moves in the world, when used against him, could only very slightly reduce his Luck, unable to harm him in the slightest.
Seeing that ordinary Qi could not harm Li Seek Defeat, the Immortal Ascension Tribulation's power surged again, and another terrifying Immortal Path Killer Move descended with a crash:
"Immortal Path Killer Move—Ill Luck Entanglement!"
In an instant, black ill Luck covered all directions. The Luck of the five Immortals present instantly plummeted, and they were plagued by bad Luck.
Even Yuan Fang, who was overseeing the core of the Blessed Land from afar, had his Luck implicated, continuously being consumed and lost.
But Li Seek Defeat had the Qi Path Killer Move "Qi Embracing All Rivers, Greatness in Inclusiveness," and even more, the Arrogant Qi immortal gu that suppressed all Qi. He completely disregarded such a catastrophe, as it had no effect on him whatsoever.
"Quickly! Kill him with all your might! If we delay any longer, the main body's Luck will be completely exhausted!"
The five Immortals were anxious. They attacked again in unison, their Killer Moves covering the sky and sweeping in all directions.
Li Seek Defeat knew in his heart that he was no match for five opponents alone. He immediately stopped fighting and activated the Qi Path movement Killer Move "Qi Control Omnipresence," his figure like lightning, turning to flee into the distance.
Seeing this, Yuan Fang's face instantly darkened. He no longer held back, directly using the Blessed Land's power to forcefully suppress all Mortal Gu and Mortal Path Killer Moves within the Blessed Land!
Li Seek Defeat felt the surrounding air suddenly solidify like iron, his Killer Move instantly Failure, and he could no longer fly with Qi.
Li Seek Defeat fell heavily from the sky, crashing hard onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
The five Immortals immediately surrounded him, their eyes burning with killing intent, about to seize the Opportunity to strike a fatal blow and completely kill him. However, Yuan Fang's voice transmission sounded at this opportune moment:
"Temporarily spare his life! Tell Li Seek Defeat that as long as he is willing to hand over the two immortal gu, not only can I help him safely Undergo Tribulation for Immortal Ascension, but I can also absorb him as one of us, sharing all Opportunities."
Upon hearing this, the five Immortals all nodded in understanding.
The terrifying power displayed by the Arrogant Qi immortal gu alone was enough to restrain most Qi Path Gu Immortals in the world.
Such a treasure, if it could be used for themselves, would be far more cost-effective than directly killing Li Seek Defeat.
So the five Immortals stopped their attacks and sternly pressured Li Seek Defeat to hand over the immortal gu in his possession.
But Li Seek Defeat merely looked up and let out a cold laugh, his laughter filled with disdain and arrogance, every word resounding powerfully:
"If a Gu Immortal has no immortal gu, can they still be called an Immortal? Handing over immortal gu is no different from crippling one's cultivation and letting others slaughter you!"
These words instantly enraged the five Gu Immortals present. Although they also held immortal gu, those immortal gu all belonged to the main body, Yuan Fang, and were not their own.
Li Seek Defeat's words were tantamount to publicly exposing their sore spot, a complete humiliation.
Scarless White was furious, no longer able to suppress the killing intent in his heart. He raised his hand and unleashed a Killer Move:
"Immortal Path Killer Move—Mars Collides with Earth!"
But before his Killer Move even got close, Li Seek Defeat merely waved his hand, and a majestic, incomparably condensed Qi erupted, instantly piercing through the fireball.
Its momentum undiminished, that incredibly powerful Qi directly penetrated Scarless White's chest!
A long-famous Rank Six Gu Immortal with profound Foundation was actually severely wounded by a casual Killer Move from a junior who had just achieved Immortal Ascension!
Among the Gu Masters present, someone immediately recognized this Killer Move and couldn't help but exclaim in shock:
"This is Qi Piercing Rainbow! It's Devil Head Li's famous Killer Move! He used this Killer Move back then to instantly kill our Lord Song Ming!"
Lord Song Ming was an elite Gu Master of the Little People tribe in Central Continent, with middle stage Rank Five cultivation. A few days ago, he was instantly killed by Li Seek Defeat's Mortal Path Killer Move, dying with unclosed eyes.
Scarless White endured the severe pain in his chest and secretly made rapid calculations. After a moment, he broke out in a cold sweat, instantly concluding that Li Seek Defeat's vital immortal gu was precisely the Qi Absorption immortal gu!
Although Li Seek Defeat's combat strength was exceptionally formidable, he was ultimately one against five; two fists are hard to beat four hands.
Under the continuous encirclement of the five Immortals, he could only fight and retreat, fleeing all the way.
The six fought all the way from East Sun Tai Continent to Central Continent, the battle's aftershocks sweeping in all directions. Hundreds of thousands of innocent lives along the way tragically died, blood flowing like rivers, leaving the land devastated.
Yuan Fang watched, his heart aching beyond measure.
These deceased beings were all the fruits of his decades of painstaking Human Path efforts, the very Foundation of his Human Path cultivation!
While desperately absorbing heaven and earth Qi to stabilize the Blessed Land's Foundation, he also ordered the Hairy People in the Stone Nest to frantically refine earth qi gu and stingy gu to compensate for the consumption of the three Qi in his body.
Fortunately, the heaven and earth Qi no longer flowed away frantically, and the imbalance of the three Qi showed slight improvement, but the longer this imbalance persisted, the more severely the Blessed Land's reserves would be consumed.
Although Yuan Fang was dissatisfied with the five Immortals' prolonged battle, he also understood that haste makes waste.
He could only patiently guide the five Immortals from the rear, adjusting their tactics, striving to take down Li Seek Defeat as quickly as possible.
Under Yuan Fang's unified command and meticulous guidance, the five Immortals' cooperation became increasingly tacit, and their tactics became more refined and sharp.
