Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

BOOM!

RUMBLE!

RUUUUMBLE!

The sky and earth changed color in an instant.

Dark clouds gathered, swirling violently.

The sound of new war drums pounded in with tyrannical force, making the very earth tremble.

The Seventh Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty, the White Tiger Demon Lord, Xiao Sanxuan, Zhong Zunyang, and Cha Mo.

One after another, these famous, top-tier prodigies led their own legions, forcefully barging onto the battlefield.

At this moment, it was a scene of utter despair, like black clouds pressing down on a city, threatening to crush it.

Fang Yang could clearly see an air of grim resignation settle on the faces of the Fourth Legion's soldiers.

No one was a fool.

They all knew that if they couldn't overcome today's crisis, they would truly and utterly perish.

The scales of the situation tipped further and further against them.

The state of the battlefield was becoming painfully clear.

...

At this moment, watching the arrival of old rivals like the Seventh Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty, Su Xi felt her scalp tingle with dread.

If she were at the Third Legion's base, she would have no fear facing this group of powerful enemies.

There, she could have calmly used the grand Arrays, along with Young Great Saints like Linghe and Jiuming, to orchestrate the battle.

But this was the Fourth Legion's territory.

More critically, the Fourth Legion had been on the run, constantly pursued by the enemy.

They hadn't established sufficient defensive lines or powerful enough Arrays here at all.

Things having reached this point, their options were becoming clearer.

They could either fight with all their might for a sliver of hope...

...or retreat completely and leave the Burying Moon Mountain Dream World cluster battlefield.

One wrong move could cause the whole structure to collapse.

If the Fourth Legion was truly forced out of the Burying Moon Mountain Dream World cluster...

...then the other three legions would undoubtedly be picked off one by one.

Su Xi understood this, Silver Phoenix understood this, and Fang Yang understood this.

And their enemies, the Eldest Princess and the Seventh Prince, understood it even better!

...

At that moment, Su Xi took a deep breath and looked up at Fang Yang.

She clenched her jaw, a hint of desperation in her eyes. "Monarch, I want to split our forces! Let me lead an army to the northern end!"

Her proposal was nothing short of audacious.

It carried the heroic, do-or-die spirit of 'victory or death'.

"Split our forces? To the north?" Fang Yang's brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this.

He had a high opinion of Su Xi's sense of responsibility.

But the northern side was perilously close to the area where the dream storm had suddenly erupted.

And rumor had it that the dream storm had swallowed up both Chen Chenye and Zhang Haisheng.

Combined with his own prior analysis of his divination, he was crystal clear about the situation.

Fang Yang's tone was calm yet unquestionable. "If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. There's no need to split our forces."

He had gone to great lengths to scout Su Xi; he had no intention of letting her become a common, disposable pawn.

With Su Xi around, he could better extricate himself to find Dream Worlds to devour and advance his cultivation.

"But..." Su Xi's pretty face froze.

But as she looked at Fang Yang's calm expression, her anxiety inexplicably began to fade.

'That's right,' she thought. 'As the legendary Kunpeng Ancestor, Fang Yang's true methods must be world-shaking and awe-inspiring!'

...

"THUMP," "THUMP."

Their exchange was but a brief moment.

Now, a multitude of earth-shattering roars began to rise and reverberate.

The Bian Battle Soul, White Tiger Battle Soul, Skyfire Battle Soul, Poison Dragon Battle Soul...

The enemy's morale surged. Their battle souls blazed, and several more ferocious ones appeared.

With every move, these battle souls stirred up torrential waves of energy that battered the surroundings.

At the core of each battle soul was a Young Great Saint.

One can only imagine what an immense power this was.

"End them," the Eldest Princess said, her voice calm but cold.

She swept her hand down, and a Python and Sparrow Battle Soul rose up.

The Python and Sparrow Battle Soul radiated an incredibly dense deathly aura, continuously stripping the battlefield of its life force.

Following its lead were the Bian Battle Soul, the White Tiger Battle Soul, the Skyfire Battle Soul, the Poison Dragon Battle Soul, and others.

Heavenly thunder, Earth Flame, divine light, Sword Aura...

All kinds of sharp, deadly attacks erupted at once.

Meanwhile, on Silver Phoenix and Fang Yang's side, they were also taking action.

The Phoenix Simurgh Battle Soul, the Frost Phoenix Battle Soul, and even the Arrays all fully activated.

It was worth noting that Su Xi was fighting fiercely, entangled with the White Tiger Demon Lord's legion.

Cha Mo's legion had even taken the initiative to engage them.

A Poison Dragon Battle Soul coiled around them madly, emitting waves of venom.

Although Su Xi and Silver Phoenix were pushing their potential to the absolute limit, the situation was still inevitably tilting in the enemy's favor.

...

"BANG!"

In the void, space shattered, and clusters of brilliant divine light flowed out.

There, a massive Kunpeng phantom floated leisurely.

This Kunpeng phantom was so condensed it was almost corporeal, like a divine manifestation.

As the Kunpeng turned, a Fire Realm sprouted and a sea of lightning churned.

As it spun, endless streams of brilliant gold light and dark, black radiance intertwined, forming a Tai Chi Diagram.

The Tai Chi Diagram was like a seal of the Great Dao, illuminating a series of gates that were layered chaotically in descending order of size.

Beneath the seal stood a tall, imposing figure with a cold expression.

He was like the Kunpeng Divine King.

Fang Yang!

Fang Yang had made his move!

RUUUUMBLE...

At this very moment, the Kunpeng—with the Tai Chi Diagram above its head, a sea of heavenly thunder to its left, and a Fire Realm of Earth Flame to its right—surged forward violently.

Something astounding happened.

Fang Yang took the initiative, single-handedly confronting Young Great Saints like the Seventh Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty, Zhong Zunyang, and Xiao Sanxuan.

Not only that, but he also repeatedly saved Su Xi and her legion.

"Is that... a Thunder Dao Grandmaster and a Fire Dao Grandmaster?!"

"Hiss... A dual-school Grandmaster!"

"Heavens, how can this be?"

"Right, I remember now. This is the sheer power of a lineage's Primordial Ancestor."

"Is that Fang Yang? The Kunpeng Ancestor? No wonder he can suppress so many Young Great Saints all by himself..."

Cheers, apprehension, and thickening killing intent rose from all around.

In that instant, Fang Yang's sudden appearance stole everyone's attention.

Even the clash between Silver Phoenix and the Eldest Princess seemed to pale slightly in comparison.

'Is this your true strength?' Su Xi's heart trembled as she inwardly exclaimed in disbelief.

The White Tiger Demon Lord's gaze was profound. 'A little longer, just a little longer. Now is not the best time for my entrance.'

...

Fang Yang unleashed his might, living up to the name of Primordial Ancestor.

This group of top-tier prodigies, who could be considered dragons and phoenixes among men, were actually unable to contend with him.

It was hard to imagine what he would be like once he reached the peak of Mortal Practitioners.

No wonder he was widely acknowledged as the third person after the Great Sun Dragon Lady and Sen Yue with the potential to step into the realm of a Young Venerable.

'Right now, I could easily charge out of the Array and forcefully kill them.'

Fang Yang thought to himself, 'But my One Aperture Two Phase Method and the Dream Emperor phantom would be exposed. It's not worth it. For now, I'll just maintain a relative balance.'

He had never forgotten the Vast Sea Venerable Emperor's "Venerable Emperor's Word."

The "Venerable Emperor's Word" prophesied that when the Dream Emperor's phantom appeared, the epoch would be shattered, and no living being would survive.

Furthermore, back at the Thunder Saint Academy, he had used a hint from his divination to realize that this prophecy was something truly feared by Longevity Heaven!

...

After Fang Yang revealed his abilities, the battle gradually stabilized.

In the end, the Fourth Legion's situation actually held firm.

Fang Yang, for his part, had initially helped Silver Phoenix and the others to halt their decline.

His arrival had neutralized the immediate threat from the Great Xuan's Eldest Princess and secured their position.

The Eldest Princess was rather frustrated by Fang Yang's arrival.

She hesitated, wondering if Fang Yang truly possessed the One Aperture Two Phase Method.

'But even if he does,' she mused, 'in such a short time, those two phases probably can't be of much use, right?'

"Fang Yang, Fang Yang..." the Eldest Princess muttered.

Suddenly, she was reminded of Fang Yang and Sen Yue's situation.

Then, she thought of her own situation with the Primordial Ancestor, the "Great Sun Dragon Lady."

She and Fang Yang were actually in remarkably similar circumstances.

Fang Yang was the Kunpeng Ancestor, while she possessed the destiny of the Python and Sparrow.

The Python and Sparrow was destined to devour the Dragon!

But as it happened, the one standing in her way was the Great Sun Dragon Lady.

It was enough to make one despair.

...

Gradually, the enemy forces retreated.

The fires of war subsided, and the battle slowly drew to a close.

However, Fang Yang noticed that something was off about Su Xi's condition.

Sensing something amiss, Fang Yang deliberately stayed by Su Xi's side.

"Su Xi, what's wrong?" Fang Yang asked.

Su Xi's eyes were glazed. "N-nothing."

Here in the Monarch's Camp, Layman Yue had just left, leaving the two of them alone.

For a moment, Su Xi glanced at Fang Yang out of the corner of her eye, her face slightly flushed.

Her heart sank. She had a bad feeling.

Ever since the Phoenix Simurgh Battle Soul had dissipated, she'd felt that something was wrong with her.

Now, she thought she understood the reason.

Without a doubt, Cha Mo had done something to her!

What she didn't know was that it wasn't just Cha Mo; it was also the result of Chen Chenye's years of scheming.

Chen Chenye had served her diligently for years, but it wasn't out of any kindness.

His goal was to capture and corrupt her in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, when Fang Yang made his move, Chen Chenye's plans were shattered.

...

"Fang... Yang..."

Su Xi's gaze grew even more distant.

Her clenched teeth loosened, and her consciousness grew hazier.

This was evident from the fact that her Spirit Body's phantom had begun to manifest.

At this moment, despite her frantic struggles, she was unavoidably sinking into a state of lust.

Looking at Fang Yang, her willpower began to waver.

"You're too tired. Go back and get some proper rest," Fang Yang said softly.

However, Fang Yang's words only made Su Xi's heart race even more.

Fortunately, in the next moment, a Kunpeng phantom appeared between them.

The Kunpeng inverted itself, radiating ripples of spiritual light.

WHOOSH! Su Xi's body trembled, and her mind instantly cleared.

...

Su Xi was speechless.

She knew that Fang Yang had sensed her unseemly state just now.

In other words, if Fang Yang had decided to go with the flow, she feared her Primordial Yin would have been taken by him right then and there.

Moreover, she wouldn't have been able to say anything or blame him for it.

Putting herself in Fang Yang's shoes, she knew she would have been very tempted as well.

But unexpectedly, Fang Yang hadn't done that!

...

Fang Yang smiled reassuringly. "Don't overthink it. You were likely affected by Cha Mo and his people."

Hearing this, Su Xi nodded.

But for the first time, the look she gave Fang Yang was complicated.

At this moment, she finally understood why Chen Ying was so unable to forget Fang Yang.

Initially, she had thought Chen Ying was obsessed. Even knowing that Fang Yang and Sen Hui were mutually in love, Chen Ying still refused to give up.

In other words, Chen Ying had already lost any chance to compete with Sen Hui, but she stubbornly refused to let go.

Back then, she had thought Chen Ying was just being irrational.

But looking at it now, Chen Ying's choice wasn't without reason.

She also understood why Sub-Venerable Han Wu had acknowledged Fang Yang.

For no particular reason, she suddenly felt that Sen Hui was a little... lucky!

No joke—when she cast aside her preconceived notions and looked at Fang Yang from an objective, impartial perspective...

...Fang Yang was truly a nearly perfect Dao companion!

If she were to walk the path of the Great Dao with his support, it would surely be much smoother.

Of course, she wasn't saying she had fallen for Fang Yang.

She was simply making an objective assessment.
