"Open!"
The Immortal Gu Masters from the four southern border clans spread their hands in the air, and hundreds of Gu worms flew around them. The immortal auras emanating from them transformed into complex and terrifying auras as they unleashed a mortal killer move of the Space Path.
Mortal Killer Move – Clear Door.
This time, it was not as easy as the previous time, as the land spirit resisted this change. The Immortal Gu Masters breathed heavily and clenched their teeth, spending a drop of green grape immortal essence to activate another killer move.
A door formed from thousands of ancient bones, twenty meters tall, appeared in midair, causing the Immortal Gu Masters to reveal expressions of joy and caution.
Wu Bi, the Immortal Gu Master, stepped forward from the group and raised his voice toward them.
"I will breach the space of this blessed land. Be ready to attack the moment a loophole is revealed!"
Wu Bi took a deep breath. Streams of air gathered beneath his nose and mouth, circulating within his body. Wu Bi was a rank seven Immortal Gu Master cultivating the Wind Path. His foundation was deep, whether in wealth, dao marks, or immortal essence. He even possessed two rank six Immortal Gu. Because of this, he did not hold back at all when activating his Immortal killer move, without using any mortal methods as support.
Immortal Killer Move – Icy Death Wind.
A complex and terrifying aura rose from Wu Bi, causing the surrounding Immortal Gu Masters to activate their defensive killer moves and sweep the surroundings with their divine sense. Their expressions turned solemn with awe.
Within a space spanning over a thousand kilometers, air currents surged madly toward Wu Bi and transformed into freezing, glacial winds so cold that they froze space itself.
These winds condensed into a small mass in Wu Bi's palm, making him sweat despite the cold he created. With tremendous force, he hurled the icy wind sphere toward the entrance of the blessed land. The wind mass, no larger than a palm, shot forward at extreme speed and spread out upon impact.
There was no sound from the collision, nor any dazzling visual effects, but the power itself was undeniable. Space turned into ice and began to shatter, and even the entrance of the blessed land started to freeze and collapse, gradually revealing the scene inside.
The Immortal Gu Masters turned to look at one another, waiting for someone to step forward. After all, who wanted to be the sacrificial lamb and be used to probe the defensive power of the blessed land?
Yang Rou Nan looked at the three Immortal Gu Masters around her and spoke shyly.
"Brothers, this little one does not possess Immortal Gu and cannot resist the land spirit if it suppresses mortal Gu. I would be like a fish on the chopping board. Wu Shan Yi, why don't you go first?"
"Nonsense! Why should it be me? Why doesn't Xia Shan Su go?!"
Yang Rou Nan looked toward Xia Shan Su, and Xia Shan Su looked toward Shang Tan Yi. A flash of understanding passed between their gazes. Shang Tan Yi spoke in a honeyed tone toward Wu Shan Yi, trying to pressure him.
"Little Wu Shan Yi, why don't you enter first and lead our glorious victory to seize this blessed land and its resources?"
The Immortal Gu Masters of the three clans pressured Wu Shan Yi, causing him to grit his teeth. He had no choice but to step forward and act as the sacrificial lamb.
He activated several mortal killer moves for defense and investigation within the blessed land, but the dense Dao marks of the blessed land prevented him from seeing more than what his eyes could see.
"Damn it!! Fine, land spirit, let's see if you can still hide if I use this killer move!"
Immortal Killer Move – Three Divine Flames.
From the tip of Wu Shan Yi's index finger, three small flames of different colors flew out. One was yellow tinged with orange and formed into a vague human shape, another transformed into a nine-colored cloud, and the third turned into landforms resembling mountains and hills.
The three flames entered the blessed land at extreme speed, and Wu Shan Yi cautiously followed behind them.
On their way into the blessed land, the three flames were massive in size, rivaling Mount Tie Li itself. But after entering the blessed land, they immediately shrank to half their size and were suppressed by the power of Heaven and Earth.
"Damn land spirit! Even if you suppress my killer move and weaken it, can you withstand it without Immortal Gu?!"
The land spirit appeared before Wu Shan Yi with a serious expression as it looked at the three flames. However, it was not worried at all. It waved its hands, and more than a hundred mortal Gu appeared around it.
A mortal killer move was activated to counter Wu Shan Yi's attack, causing the Immortal Gu Masters in the rear to look at the land spirit with disdain.
Ten gigantic arms appeared, resembling the hairy, powerful arms of apes. They moved with unbelievable aura and speed. Each pair of arms grabbed one of the three flames, while four more arms surged toward Wu Shan Yi, who was sweating profusely.
"How is this possible?! This is clearly a mortal killer move! How can it possess terrifying power that nearly matches Immortal killer moves?!"
The land spirit laughed as it chased Wu Shan Yi with Strength Path arms and activated another killer move.
Immortal Killer Move – Countless Solid Beasts!
Wu Shan Yi trembled and wanted to flee from the blessed land, but countless gigantic solid beasts blocked his path and suppressed him!
At this moment, the Immortal Gu Masters watching from the outskirts decided to intervene.
Shang Tan Yi surged forward like a cloud of poison and collided with the Strength Path's arms chasing Wu Shan Yi. Four of the Strength Path arms shattered on the spot and turned into poisonous dust that dissipated with the wind.
However, Shang Tan Yi's expression was extremely ugly as he fought against the Strength Path beasts.
A gigantic dragon, as large as a mountain, attacked, its claws striking toward Shang Tan Yi. Shang Tan Yi released a bird to block it, yet he still suffered moderate injuries from this single strike!
"Damn it!! This land spirit has an overwhelming advantage inside the blessed land! It suppresses Gu worms of other paths and restricts our use of mortal Gu… What's even more terrifying is how horrifying its Dao Mark amplification is. It's even higher than the accumulation of a rank seven Immortal Gu Master!"
The land spirit fought Shang Tan Yi and Wu Shan Yi in the western region of the blessed land. This was no coincidence, but part of Fang Tian's plan.
Outside the blessed land, Wu Bi, Yang Rou Nan, and Xia Shan Su observed the battle within the blessed land and analyzed the information from the fight.
Yang Rou Nan shouted:
"This land spirit possesses a rank six Immortal Gu! What makes it so powerful is the amplification of Strength Path dao marks within the blessed land. From the clues I've gathered, this land spirit is no weaker than a rank seven Immortal Gu Master!"
Wu Bi and Xia Shan Su frowned deeply. After all, Yang Rou Nan could not intervene due to a lack of Immortal Gu. She would be suppressed by the land spirit immediately and become a burden to them. This meant the four of them would have to deal with the land spirit, consuming precious immortal essence and risking severe injuries.
However, from the current situation, it could be said that the land spirit could not fight four Immortal Gu Masters at the same time. Especially since Wu Bi himself was rank seven!
"Xia Shan Su, I will charge in and attack with full force. Follow me and use the killer move you've been preparing."
"Hahaha, don't worry, Brother Bi! Just charge ahead and rely on me!"
Wu Bi nodded indifferently and immediately entered the blessed land, beginning to target the land spirit.
Immortal Killer Move – Stern Reflection Wind.
Wu Bi activated his defensive Immortal killer move. Streams of wind formed into a robe around his body, blocking all attacks and reflecting the weaker ones. Then he activated another Immortal killer move.
Immortal Killer Move – Wind Uproots the Grass.
Wu Bi whistled, and countless massive wind blades, as large as hills, shot out of his mouth, slicing through the innumerable phantom qi beasts with great force and destroying dozens of them instantly.
Yet his expression became extremely grim afterward.
"This damn land spirit actually has an Immortal killer move that counters the killer move personally acknowledged by the First Supreme Elder!! And these phantom beasts are undoubtedly Strength Path phantoms. In essence, they are merely manifestations of the Dao marks in the blessed land. Even destroying them will not harm the land spirit at all!"
"And why do these phantoms possess such a level of power?! They are merely illusions of rank five beasts, yet their battle strength is close to rank six!"
Wu Bi flew about, dodging and destroying large numbers of phantom Strength Path beasts. Together with Wu Shan Yi and Shang Tan Yi, they managed to hold their ground against the land spirit.
However, none of them looked pleased.
The land spirit had used only one Immortal killer move to split their group apart and relied on countless mortal methods. With the amplification of the blessed land's Strength Path dao marks, it held firm, preventing the enemies from crossing the western region of the blessed land.
Moreover, the consumption of immortal essence made their hearts ache!
From the breach of the blessed land, Xia Shan Su entered, and behind him was Yang Rou Nan, who was protected by his Immortal killer move. She could barely use her own mortal killer moves and Gu worms.
The Ancient Strength Blessed Land's land spirit was facing five Immortal Gu Masters alone!
Fang Tian watched this horrifying, destructive battle from afar, his heart turning cold with fear. But he did not forget the plan he had prepared and sent his signal to the land spirit.
"The master has sent the signal. Good, good! I have been holding back against you all. Now let me show you my true power!"
Immortal Killer Move – Strength Extraction Body!
The small, muscular land spirit transformed into a muscular giant rivaling mountains in height. With those ape-like hands, that muscular body, those sharp eyes, and hair covering its entire body, it was like fighting a demonic god for the Immortal Gu Masters of the righteous path.
The aura released by the land spirit became deeper and heavier. Its powerful and oppressive presence pressed down upon their hearts.
After all, this Immortal killer move was the core of the true inheritance of the Strength Extraction Immortal.
At Fang Tian's location, a small crack opened in the blessed land, just enough for a person to pass through to the outside. Fang Tian did not hesitate. He made sure he was ready one last time before exiting through the breach.
He was now in the outside world, far away from the surroundings of Mount Tie Li.
