Chapter 473: Big guy, you don't follow the rules!

He no longer paid attention to the five big giants, his figure flickered, and he actually actively withdrew from the battle circle, his vast divine sense began frantically scanning every inch of space in Di Wu Ceng, trying to find the hidden fisherman.

And the only one who knew the truth, Shou Zheng, was also performing the act to the extreme at this moment.

He controlled the Immortal Emperor's phantom, on one hand feigning resistance against the aftermath of the killing formation, on the other hand roaring with a tone of mixed grief and anger: "Who?! Who exactly desecrated the Immortal Emperor's resting place?! Get out of here, old man!"

For a moment, the entire space of Di Wu Ceng fell into an eerie silence.

The seven major giants, and even a wandering soul of the celestial court, actually, under the siege of four ancient killing formations, unanimously ceased their mutual attacks and began, like headless flies, frantically searching for that fourth faction.

The scene was ridiculous to the extreme.

And at the bottom of the dried-up Place: Sheng Xian Chi, that corner which everyone had overlooked.

Gu Yuan's true self was watching with interest the farce in the sky that he himself had orchestrated, the corners of his mouth slightly rising.

"Excellent, the fish have all entered the net, and each one is in a state of extreme anger and chaos."

"Next, it's time to pull in the net."

He clearly understood that this chaotic situation could not last long.

Once these old foxes calm down, I will have no chance.

Gu Yuan's gaze slowly swept over those figures in the sky.

The Supreme Immortal King is the strongest in power, but his mind is also the deepest, making him difficult to deal with.

The Yaochi Holy Lord and Lei Di Lao Zu have had their minds clouded by hatred, making them excellent breakthrough points.

The Mo Zhu and Fo Zhu are relatively weaker in strength; they can be left aside for now.

Title: Ba Zhang Lao…… this self‑clever fellow is the most crucial link in the plan.

And the remaining one……

Gu Yuan's gaze finally fell upon that burly figure who had remained silent from beginning to end, fighting solely with pure fists and flesh.

Wu Wang!

"A body cultivator…… perfect, I'll use you to test my newly acquired power."

A bolder and more crazy plan took shape in Gu Yuan's mind.

"Senior, please lend me your strength."

Gu Yuan's true self's calm divine sense silently entered the sea of consciousness of the grief‑and‑anger‑filled Shou Zheng.

"Pretend your strength is exhausted, be heavily wounded by Wu Wang, then lend me all of your power."

Shou Zheng, who was putting effort into his performance, felt his heart jolt upon hearing those words.

He immediately understood Gu Yuan's intention.

This is to…… go fishing!

"Good!"

Shou Zheng hesitated not at all and immediately agreed.

To avenge the Immortal Emperor and to wipe clean the grudge of the celestial court, this is his sole obsession in existence.

As long as he can kill these traitors, let alone cooperating in the act, even if it meant his soul and spirit would be scattered right now, he would spare nothing!

Upon the Heavenly Dome, the battle situation changed again.

"Found it!"

The Yaochi Holy Lord suddenly let out a scream, his massive body composed of the light and shadows of myriad worlds lunging toward a corner of the space of Di Wu Ceng.

"There is an extremely faint spatial fluctuation there! That thief must be hiding there!"

Lei Di Lao Zu, hearing that, also had his spirit shaken, transforming into lightning and closely following.

However, when they joined forces to tear open that space, what they saw was merely an empty void.

"We've been tricked!"

The two instantly realized what had happened.

And at that very moment when they were distracted,

"Pfft!"

Wu Wang, who had been entangled in combat with Shou Zheng, finally seized the opportunity.

His plain, unadorned fist, devoid of any regulatory light, yet containing terrifying power capable of piercing the myriad worlds, solidly struck the chest of the Immortal Emperor divine phantom that Shou Zheng had transformed into.

"Crack!"

A clear cracking sound rang out.

A huge hole appeared in the chest of the Immortal Emperor divine phantom, golden light pouring out like a tide.

Shou Zheng let out a pained groan; the light of the entire phantom instantly dimmed, like a candle in the wind, about to go out at any moment.

"Great opportunity!"

A flash of sharp light appeared in the Supreme Immortal King's eyes: "Wu Wang! Take care of him! The origin of the celestial court, we'll split it fifty‑fifty!"

Wu Wang, hearing that, nodded.

He raised his fist again, preparing to deliver the final blow to that old adversary who had been entangled with him for countless ages.

However, at this very moment, an abrupt change occurred!

The Immortal Emperor divine phantom, heavily wounded by Wu Wang and about to dissipate, suddenly twisted eerily in mid‑air, turning into a pure golden stream of light, neither fleeing nor striking back, but with a resolute posture directly charging toward the Now Faction: Zang Tian Ge Title: Ba Zhang Lao.

"Traitor! Today, even if I die, I will drag you, this malignant tumor of the immortal realm, down with me to the grave!"

Shou Zheng's tragic, heroic roar echoed throughout the entire Di Wu Ceng.

"Are you crazy?!"

Title: Ba Zhang Lao was greatly startled and lost color.

He simply could not understand why this ancient relic of the celestial court, ignoring those five mortal enemies, would instead come to fight him to the death!

But he no longer had time to think.

Shou Zheng's final death-defying strike contained all the power from his burning the last origin of the entire immortal court relics, its terrifying might even faintly surpassing the realm of colossal immortal kings.

Title: Ba Zhang Lao dared not delay, could only let out a roar, mobilize all his strength, and hard-block this strike.

Boom——!!!

A golden and a black beam of light fiercely collided in midair.

The terrifying energy storm swept forth, tearing the entire Di Wu Ceng space into shreds.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, the Martial King finally relaxed completely.

His cold gaze swept over the entire scene, finally landing on the black-robed person who had been standing all along at the bottom of the dried-up pool.

Gu Yuan's true form.

In the Martial King's view, although he didn't know who that hidden fisherman was, the black-robed person before him, who had not appeared before, must be the root cause of all this chaos.

As long as we kill him, perhaps we can let everything return to the right track.

And most importantly…

This person can conceal the perception of several colossal immortal kings; he must possess a supreme treasure!

If I kill him, that supreme treasure will belong to this Martial King!

Killing intent, instantly locked on.

The Martial King's burly figure descended from the sky, without a word, directly throwing a punch at Gu Yuan's true form's head.

He intended to end this farce with the simplest, most direct method.

Watching that fist grow ever closer, capable of blasting stars to dust, Gu Yuan's true form showed no fear on his face, instead revealing a strange smile.

"Finally here."

"I've been waiting for you."

He murmured in his heart.

The next second.

Just as the Martial King's fist wind was about to touch Gu Yuan's face.

Time seemed to come to a complete halt at that moment.

A withered old hand, even speckled with melon seed shell fragments, stretched out from the void without warning and lightly grasped the Martial King's fist capable of destroying heaven and earth.

"I say, you big lug, bullying my grandson isn't exactly proper, is it?"
