Everything happening before his eyes was so utterly shocking that Mo Tanson was completely stunned. He stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, as if unable to believe what he was seeing. Whether it was the resurrected Gu Immortal or the bizarre behavior of the Hairy Men Gu Immortal, it all filled him with astonishment, leaving him momentarily unable to comprehend or accept such a reality.
Meanwhile, witnessing the successful resurrection of the Hairy Men Gu Immortal, Lang Ya Earth Spirit's face lit up with ecstatic joy. However, in the next instant, his originally delighted expression suddenly twisted into a sly and sinister smile as he muttered to himself, "Haha, what an excellent little fellow! This old man's eyes did not deceive me. This one is definitely worth grooming. In the future, I must win him over to my side and put him to good use. When the time is ripe, I can order him to serve as my number one lapdog in ruling the Human Race, helping me eliminate dissidents and suppress rebellions... Hehehe, oh dear, I've gone and said my inner thoughts out loud again!"
Lang Ya Earth Spirit's peculiar habit of frequently talking to himself was something Liu Chen had long grown accustomed to. Seeing him start up again now, Liu Chen hurriedly reminded him, "Time is of the essence! The third wave of Sword Qi is about to strike! We must quickly figure out a way to deal with it!"
Cloud Cover Continent had been brutally pierced through by the previous Sword Qi, leaving a massive hole.
Not only that, but the space within Lang Ya Blessed Land had also suffered severe damage, with huge cracks appearing everywhere. As the space shattered, the hidden core of the Blessed Land—the Immortal Gu House refining furnace—was finally revealed to everyone.
Furthermore, the large number of Gu Worms that had been quietly dormant deep within the Blessed Land were now stirred into restless agitation by the ripples of the Sword Qi.
However, their fate was already sealed. Qin Baisheng was seen forming hand seals, and a powerful suction force suddenly erupted.
In an instant, tens of thousands of Gu Worms, as if manipulated by an invisible giant hand, shot directly toward him. Clearly, Qin Baisheng's true target for coming here was none other than this world's only eight-turn Immortal Gu House refining furnace!
"Thinking of seizing the refining furnace? That's sheer delusion!" Lang Ya Earth Spirit's expression turned grave, his gaze sharp as a blade, as he roared angrily, "Quickly, form the formation! Activate the ancient battle formation—Heavenly Asura! You two, come assist me immediately! You've already witnessed my Hairy Men Disciples with your own eyes. This battle is exceptionally perilous. Only by relying on your combined strength with mine can we survive this crisis! Just hold on a little longer, and we can annihilate these scoundrels in one fell swoop!"
Before his words even faded, countless Gu Worms surged from all directions, sweeping toward the group like a tidal wave. In the blink of an eye, they enveloped everyone, including Lang Ya Earth Spirit, and burst forth with dazzling silver light.
Immediately after, Lang Ya Earth Spirit's voice rang out in a hoarse, desperate roar: "Heavenly Asura! Heavenly Asura! Heavenly Asura!" With each shout, the silver radiance erupting from his body grew more intense.
By the time the third roar sounded, the silver light had already coalesced into an enormous mass of silver liquid, which began to rapidly twist and deform.
In moments, that mass of silver liquid transformed into a towering, awe-inspiring silver giant! This colossal figure stood dozens of zhang tall, possessed three heads and six arms, resembling a demon god descending upon the world, inspiring both reverence and fear.
All of the Gu Immortals on Lang Ya Earth Spirit's side were now contained within that immense silver giant, each residing in a separate silver space, thereby becoming the formation nodes of the ancient battle formation—Heavenly Asura.
It is worth noting that Liu Chen, Lang Ya Earth Spirit, and Mo Tanson—the three individuals with the most formidable combat strength—each guarded one of the Heavenly Asura's three heads. As for the other Hairy Men Gu Immortals, they collectively formed the massive body of this behemoth.
"It really is an ancient battle formation!"
Faced with such a staggering sight, even the usually experienced and unflappable Qin Baisheng couldn't help but be profoundly shocked. He had never imagined that this seemingly unremarkable Lang Ya Earth Spirit harbored such an incredibly powerful trump card!
After a brief moment of silence, Qin Baisheng turned to Hei Cheng nearby and instructed, "You are responsible for holding off this Heavenly Asura!"
However, upon hearing this, Hei Cheng's face was filled with astonishment, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you joking! You want me alone to face such a terrifying, second-ranked ancient battle formation?"
In truth, none of the other Gu Immortals present were willing to step forward either at this moment.
Maintaining his composure, Qin Baisheng continued to threaten and entice Hei Cheng: "As long as you can successfully delay this Heavenly Asura for a while, after I completely seize that crucial refining furnace, not only will I help you cure the chronic illness hidden within your body, but I will also give you the longevity-extending method you've long desired!"
Hei Cheng's Lifespan was nearing its end. The conditions Qin Baisheng offered were impossible for him to refuse. Whether it was his own injuries or the means to extend his life, he didn't want to give up on either. Even knowing he was no match, he steeled himself and prepared to engage.
The immortal valley house black prison slowly opened, and immediately after, a dark shadow shot out from within—the Ancient Desolate Beast, Qi Ya Pig! It let out a roar and then charged forth like an unbridled wild horse.
Simultaneously, Hei Cheng's figure flashed as he darted inside the Black Prison.
In the blink of an eye, Hei Cheng was piloting the immortal valley house black prison, charging in great strides toward the silver giant.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Armor of the Heavenly Swords!"
Countless giant swords, each the size of a door panel, materialized out of thin air and, at astonishing speed, tightly adhered to the silver giant's body. These massive swords interlocked and overlapped, ultimately forming an exceptionally sturdy suit of armor gleaming with a cold light.
At this moment, Liu Chen understood clearly that this group of Hairy Men Gu Immortals before him had no practical combat experience whatsoever.
Therefore, he didn't hesitate to unleash his own defensive killer move to counter any attacks Hei Cheng might launch, lest the opponent seize an opportunity to breach their defenses in one go.
On the other side, Lang Ya Earth Spirit was fully focused on manipulating the numerous Ancient Desolate Beasts hidden within Lang Ya Blessed Land, commanding them to launch fierce assaults against Qin Baisheng.
Seeing this, the other Gu Immortals quickly gathered around Qin Baisheng, doing their utmost to protect their companion who was concentrating on collecting the Immortal Gu House refining furnace.
The Armor of the Heavenly Swords was originally the strongest defensive killer move that could be rapidly activated, refined through countless improvements. Now, further enhanced and strengthened by the power of the ancient battle formation—Heavenly Asura—its overall defensive capability had undergone a qualitative leap compared to before, increasing severalfold!
Faced with such an impregnable defensive barrier, whether it was the ferocious Qi Ya Pig or the immortal valley house black prison, all their attacks were like stones sinking into the sea, utterly incapable of causing the slightest damage or effect to the Armor of the Heavenly Swords.
"Hahaha... Excellent lad, truly worthy of being someone I've taken a liking to! You've really accomplished a great feat this time!" Lang Ya Earth Spirit, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, immediately flushed with excitement and praised lavishly.
Then, he turned his gaze to Mo Tanson beside him and continued to encourage, "The opportunity is right before us now! Quickly use your most skilled specialty move! Teach this reckless beast a vicious lesson!"
Hearing this, Mo Tanson nodded without hesitation.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Explosive Qi Roar!"
Suddenly, one of the heads of the massive silver giant summoned by Mo Tanson opened its maw wide, and a terrifying soundwave capable of annihilating heaven and earth instantly erupted forth.
