Chapter 51: Rank 8 Fortune Rivalling Heaven Gu
Three ten meter tall treemen raised their hammer-like fists as they attacked time and time again, crashing on the light barrier.
Frost Jade Peacock cried out sorrowfully.
"My masters, I cannot hold on anymore." The land spirit sighed, its long eyelashes trembling slightly. The light barrier was getting weaker, and under the treemen's endless attacks, it was on the brink of collapsing.
What was more scary was, Fang Yuan was closing in!
"It's over." Fang Yuan shot out like lightning, stepping on twigs and branches as he entered the innermost layer of the treeman encirclement.
But just when he was about to execute the finishing blow, as he was charging, Mo Yao shouted in his head: "Eh? This aura! Wait… stop quickly!"
"What is it?" Fang Yuan's momentum was lost, he stopped at a high area on a tree as he asked in suspicion.
At this moment, Mo Yao showed herself in Fang Yuan's mind.
She had tears all over her face as her slim body was shivering, she was muttering: "This aura, this aura… there's no mistake, there's absolutely no mistake! This is the aura of fortune rivalling heaven Gu!"
"Fortune rivalling heaven Gu's aura is on this lad! I can't believe it, I, Mo Yao, spent my entire life and nearly died in the secluded domain, but eventually the fortune rivalling heaven Gu escaped and this mortal lad got it by chance. Hehehe, is this life?" Mo Yao raised her head and sighed, as she laughed and cried, her tone was extremely dejected.
Fang Yuan squinted, his eyes glowing with cold light.
He asked in his heart: "That means fortune rivalling heaven Gu is currently on Ma Hong Yun? Can you confirm that?!"
"Of course, I can never forget the aura of fortune rivalling heaven Gu!" Mo Yao replied unhesitatingly.
She continued and said: "Fortune rivalling heaven Gu is a one time expenditure rank eight Gu. It is formless and ethereal, being in essence a lump of luck, it is extremely difficult to capture with ordinary methods. Back then, my main body could not capture it, thus it managed to fly away from the scene and vanish without a trace. Even True Yang Building could not trap it.
It must've escaped to northern plains, roaming until it landed on that lad!"
"Fang Yuan, you have to be careful! Fortune rivalling heaven Gu is extremely special, back then Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had fortuitous encounters endlessly, time after time he would turn disasters into blessings, he unceasingly had great luck, and he relied on this Gu to a great extent. Ma Hong Yun is affected by fortune rivalling heaven Gu, he is a true child of luck!
His luck could be said to be ranked at number one in the five regions!! The luck that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had back then would very possibly be replicated in him. Although luck is formless and ethereal, it is a part of strength and cannot be underestimated!" Mo Yao quickly said anxiously.
"I know what to do." Fang Yuan held in his killing intent, his expression turning cold as he stopped on the tree branch, not attacking abruptly.
Fang Yuan asked Mo Yao in his heart: "Strange, earlier when I used luck inspection Gu, I observed the luck of everyone in the sacred palace. If Ma Hong Yun had the fortune rivalling heaven Gu, why did I not discover it? I could only see that the two with the highest luck were Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng."
Mo Yao seemed to have predicted this question, she immediately answered: "What's so strange about this? Fortune rivalling heaven Gu is a rank eight Immortal Gu, your luck inspection Gu is only a rank five mortal Gu, an investigative Gu that can allow a Gu Master to see luck despite its formlessness. How can a rank five investigative Gu discover the luck created by a rank eight Immortal Gu?"
"If I cannot see it, how can I be sure that Ma Hong Yun has fortune rivalling heaven Gu's influence on him?" Fang Yuan did not relent, he continued asking.
"Oh Fang Yuan, you are too suspicious." Mo Yao sighed, immediately answering: "There is a method to make sure. That is to use investigative Gu and check your own luck. Every time you act against the child of luck, because of the mutual influence between luck, your luck will become bad, or even worse. If you do not believe me, you can check it that way."
Fang Yuan used luck inspection Gu.
His vision changed abruptly.
Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun's luck were rather tiny, they were the same as ordinary people.
Meanwhile, there was a massive black luck, almost three hundred meters tall, high enough to pierce heaven and earth!
"Fang Yuan, you should leave this troubled place as quickly as possible. The black coffin luck on you right now is too dense and too frightening. Your life is under great threat now! Don't underestimate luck just because it is ethereal, just think of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's unrivalled powers.
You are in deep danger right now, the black coffin luck has yet to erupt itself, but the consequences will hit you eventually, it is only that the time is not ripe."
Mo Yao continued to persuade Fang Yuan.
But Fang Yuan coldly snorted and replied with a resolute will: "Asking me to retreat? Being scared off by merely bad luck? Hehe, how could that be possible!"
He narrowed his eyes, his lips slightly curled up, revealing his snow-white teeth as he looked down from the cover of the treetop: "No matter how bad the luck becomes, it cannot attack me directly. It will need to rely on external influences to kill me. Right now, at this moment, at this place, I want to see who can obstruct me!"
"Have you gone crazy? That is a rank eight Immortal Gu!" Mo Yao screamed when she felt the dense killing intent in Fang Yuan.
"Hehehe, precisely because the enemy is this strong, the battle would be even more interesting, wouldn't it?" Fang Yuan instead laughed freely. Right now, he no longer had short hair of Chang Shan Yin, but had long black hair that fluttered freely with the wind and his countenance revealed a crazed recklessness.
"Fate teases the turbulent sea, cowardly insects avoid waves and flow along the current. A brave man does not need much wisdom, there is not regret or pain even if his body crumbles." Fang Yuan mumbled before restraining his crazed mood, his expression turning tranquil.
"Lunatic, you have gone mad..." Mo Yao continued to mutter.
"Let me see who will save you! Fortune rivalling heaven Gu, let me look at your might."
Fang Yuan made a motion to attack.
BOOOM!
An explosion occurred; the majestic wind current it created formed into a strong gale that pressed on from a distance.
Hei Lou Lan was standing unstably; while Tai Bai Yun Sheng got up from the crater, fresh blood flowing from his mouth.
He looked at Hei Lou Lan who was floating in the air, shock apparent on his face: "You are actually…"
Before he finished his words, Hei Lou Lan charged at him again.
BOOM!
Ground shook and dust surged everywhere.
"Ten extreme physiques." Fang Yuan muttered the answer in place of Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Several breaths later, a shadow flew out from the dust.
It was Tai Bai Yun Sheng!
"Tai Bai Yun Sheng, you are a grand Gu Immortal but are afraid of me, a mortal?" A roar shook the sky and earth.
Hei Lou Lan flew to the sky and started hunting down Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
"I had never thought Hei Lou Lan would actually have Great Strength True Martial Physique of the ten extreme physiques. And he has actually managed to grow to this extent!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng fled with astonishing speed.
Fang Yuan attacked Ma Hong Yun using the treemans while Hei Lou Lan was fighting Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
But at this moment!
A huge tremor occurred in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
The entire place was shaking!
"Scoundrel, you dare to chase me out, quickly accept your death!!" A loud voice could be heard, piercing heaven and earth, and causing Fang Yuan's eardrums to feel slight pain.
Fang Yuan quickly used the glass owner token and checked the situation.
Outside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, there were layers and layers of golden sand-like light particles.
That was the colossal Giant Sun's will.
He was still growling furiously, as he resisted the assault of the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, he constantly exerted pressure and attempted to barge into Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
Heaven and earth shook, those which were running, those which were helping Tai Bai Yun Sheng, those which were standing in place, those which were trapping Ma Hong Yun, all the treemen stopped their actions, standing still like statues.
Fang Yuan's face was red, the glass owner token in his hand was hot like fire!
Cracks started appearing on the owner token, in just a moment, the glass owner token was on the brink of collapsing!
Fang Yuan sent his will into the glass owner token.
Bam.
The next moment, through the glass owner token, his will clashed with the Giant Sun's will that had appeared out of nowhere.
Fang Yuan spurted out a mouthful of blood as the will he injected was completely obliterated!
Swoosh!
Wind blew, as the three closest treemen suddenly stretched out their tree vine hands, grabbing at Fang Yuan with ill intent.
Fang Yuan lost the contest, Giant Sun's will had regained control of this round, thus, the treemen also became Fang Yuan's enemies, they would not rest until they killed Fang Yuan!
Because of this sudden event, Ma and Zhou escaped death, under the influence of their will to live, they started escaping blindly among the chaotic tree roots.
At the moment of danger, Fang Yuan was barely able to regain awareness.
He shouted lightly, injecting his primeval essence into his Gu worms, mustering his strength and punching and kicking the large tree hand that was coming for him.
Bam bam bam!
After three explosive sounds, the fists were shattered as Fang Yuan adjusted his balance in the air, landing hastily.
The aftermath of competing against Giant Sun's will remained, his ears were buzzing and his hearing was nearly completely gone.
Fang Yuan's injected will exterminated the victorious Giant Sun's will, and combined with the third arrangement, although his will was wiped out, he successfully caused harm to that large portion of Giant Sun's will.
Thus, Giant Sun's will was only left with a small portion that was controlling this round.
Giant Sun's will fell into extreme anger, he did not expect this tiny mortal to have the guts to challenge his will directly.
Ma and Zhao escaped under the pursuit of the treemen, they were in a dangerous situation.
They frantically escaped without a goal, but they actually got near to Fang Yuan.
"Please save us!" Ma Hong Yun finally saw Fang Yuan, shouting loudly for help.
"So naive." Fang Yuan laughed sinisterly, immediately going closer to him.
As the two sides got closer, Fang Yuan shouted loudly: "Giant Sun's will is trying to kill you, we have a common enemy, come here!"
"Be careful!" Zhao Lian Yun who was running showed hesitation and worry.
