Completely unbeknownst to all the schemes and calculations going on Chen Ji continued to pursue the Fang Clan members in Chicken Dog Coop.
"Tch, they must have called some kind of backup," Chen Ji was an old-timer who had survived many encounters.
He had learned long ago to never underestimate his opponents.
As a Qi Path cultivator, his moves did not necessarily require the use of Gu, thus he had the ability for more variety in his Move pool.
Take his current Strength Qi form, it closely emulated Strength Path but was still a Qi Path move.
A Master of Qi Path cultivator can use the Qi in their surroundings.
A Grandmaster stores various types of Qi in their Aperture to adapt in any given scenario.
And a Great Grandmaster can steal the Qi of others.
The most famous of which was Primordial Origin who created the killer move Triple Qi Reduction.
It forced Gu Immortals to place their aperture down to absorb Qi by causing an imbalance in their Aperture.
Chen Ji had not reached such a level he had only stored various types of Qi within himself.
He had an Investigative Killer Move, Four Winds Cross The Sea, which used Wind Qi to scour a large area around him.
This allowed him to detect the other Fang Clan members and Fang Gong's approach.
"How unlucky," Chen Ji shook his head and turned to leave but not before launching a few more attacks at the Chicken Dog Coop.
All along he had no idea how close to death he was, nor the significant ramifications of his actions.
To think that one day the life of a Rank 8 would make Star Constellation this troubled.
At the table, Star Constellation sighed a sigh of relief.
She had been stalling for time hoping that Chen Ji had heeded her words to be cautious.
After all, these were big-shot sect leaders, though some of them were previous Heavenly Court members, the others were still largely in part, raised from the sect and held quite a bit of arrogance.
In front of Star Constellation, none of them would dare display it but it was no doubt that some of the younger sect leaders would be more prideful.
With the big climactic battle averted the Venerables continued playing their moves.
But Fang Yuan was not disappointed his grin ever plastered on his face.
The players continued to take their turns but curiously Fang Yuan had left the Rook there all this while.
Though it was expected since there were more crucial plays taking place across the map.
For instance,
Ying Guang Xin was traveling across the world, he was of course with Fairy Zi Wei, no immemorial Soul Beasts could be seen as Ying Guang Xin ate them all!
After all, there was no downside, not only would the Dao Marks be added onto Ying Guang Xin but he could always create Soul-Beast anyway.
In fact, it could even be considered an advantage as now their group was more agile and hidden, having a group of Soul-Beast trailing would be an obvious target for anyone.
If their goal was to acquire resources, then maybe splitting the Soul-Beast would be better but Spectral Soul only gave Ying Guang Xin one task; stop Fang Yuan!
The greatest gain Fang Yuan could achieve was Reckless's true inheritance and the Myriad Beast Fusion Color Heaven itself.
Of the 2 the more important one was the Grotto Heaven, after all, the Sovereign Immortal Fetus Gu was showing signs of hunger.
But no one, not even Fang Yuan, knew the exact speed of the Gu's hunger only Spectral Soul knew.
"His next bout should come any minute," before Spectral Soul could finish his thought.
A grumble escaped from Fang Yuan's stomach causing the other 3 Venerables to cast their gaze on him.
"Haha, I've embarrassed myself, dear friends," Fang Yuan waved his hands to dismiss their looks while internally calculating.
"The rate at which the Sovereign Immortal Fetus Gu's hunger is developing seems to be compounded,"
"Right now, it's just lightly affecting me, and I can still think rationally but at this rate, I may give in to instinct and pick a fight with the 3 Venerables if that happens…"
Fang Yuan decided not to think about such a grim fate and focused on the game.
The other Venerables added this to their calculations.
"Keke, if I can prevent Fang Yuan from obtaining Reckless's Grotto Heaven then he may go crazy from the hunger. When that time comes the 3 of us will naturally easily be able to kill him, but the ensuing battle for benefits will be hard I will need to be prepared." Spectral Soul began formulating a plan to go after the resources he wanted.
Giant Sun and Star Constellation were also scheming.
Inside the Myriad Beast Fusion Color Heaven
The various native tribes had gathered at the holy grounds of the Myriad Tribes Ceremony.
Out of the numerous tribes, less than half were present.
"I'm sure you understand why we are all here today." The tribe leader of a super clan began to speak.
"As of present numerous Otherworldly demons have appeared and they have come in full force," the crowd nodded their heads.
"We were too complacent, they caught us off guard and easily wiped away half of the tribes, our people were captured and are most likely dead, thus we have to make a final stand here and now!"
The crowd grew to a fever pitch high.
"Fight the Demons!"
"Kill them All!!"
"If one comes kill one if two come kill two!!!"
The elder then held his hand up to demand silence: "That's why I ask all of you to come together in these desperate times, to throw aside your inhibitions to one another we must rally for the sake of our world."
But a voice called out from the crowd: "But then who will lead us? You? What gives you the right? Why not one of the other lords from other super tribes?"
This question sparked a discussion amongst the Gu Immortals present who began murmmering and giving their opinion on who should lead them.
The discussions were growing fierce.
Just as the group was about to start fighting the elder spread his grand Rank 8 aura to suppress the crowd.
After all, he couldn't be a super tribe leader without some form of strength.
"Quiet down all of you! Look at yourselves is it any wonder these otherworldly demons have so easily swept our world!"
"Naturally I know you all have some grievances about who leads thus, prior to this meeting me and the other 11 super tribe leaders met and discussed that the person to lead us would be,"
Stepping up from behind the elder a cloaked figure emerged and stood next to him.
"It should of course be the Blue Phoenix Tribe Leader's daughter, the Sacred Child,"
The clocked figure unhooded herself and revealed Hei Lou Lan!
This was a big part of Giant Sun's scheme to obtain both Reckless Savage's True Inheritance and Myriad Beast Fusion Color Heaven!
He had stationed Desolate Extremity and Yellow Extremity to live in Myriad Beast Fusion Color Heaven in preparation to take over.
Hei Lou Lan's timely arrival was a part of Giant Sun's All Living Being's Luck, Heaven and Earth Luck, and Self Luck.
As Giant Sun's plan is to gain Myriad Beast Fusion Color Heaven these 3 forms of Luck worked together and culminated in Hei Lou Lan.
She was born with one of the 10 Extreme Physiques, Great Strength True Martial Physique, this was part of All Living Being's Luck.
She was born as a Huang Jin tribe member and through many events came to be known by Giant Sun, this was Giant Sun's Self Luck
Finally, to be born and arranged in this time at this moment was due to Heaven and Earth's Luck.
Due to Giant Sun's knowledge of Luck Path, the 3 forces of Luck subtly worked to his benefit even without him trying!
But Luck Path can only influence variables both hidden and revealed to positively affect oneself, one can not directly set things in motion, that would be Destiny!
The various tribes were all stunned at the appearance of Hei Lou Lan because she was so ugly!
But in times as desperate as this, the tribes put aside such petty things like appearance and recognized her strength.
"The sacred child has reached Rank 8!"
"That means that she will be able to activate the final challenge!"
"After a million years has it finally come to a point where we get to witness Reckless Savage's true inheritor!"
That's right the requirements to begin the acquiring of Reckless Savage's final Inheritance was having a Rank 8, Great Strength True Martial Physique!
The super tribe leader raised his hands once again: "That's right I'm sure you know that once the Sacred Child reaches Rank 8, she can activate the final trial becoming the new god of this world."
"The legends say that the trial will find the strongest across the land and bring them to face off against each other in Reckless's final challenge."
"While the Sacred Child is strong, she is still too young to be a match against those demons, you've all seen their strength and within their bases, I can sense the strength of even more powerful individuals."
When the Super Tribe leader said that there were more powerful people than the ones they faced the Gu Immortals' present faces turned pale.
"Freight not, we have one advantage thanks to the blessing of Reckless Savage our people can grow stronger through eating! Therefore, I would like for everyone to present their best food for the Sacred Child!"
At the mention of this, the entire hall turned awkward, no matter where one was humans were always greedy.
Seeing this the Super Tribe leader couldn't help but shake his head, he knew this would happen even when the world could be ending everyone wanted to look out for themselves.
But this Super Tribe leader had something that was rare in the Myriad Beast Fusion Color Heaven.
Wisdom!
"My fellow man, I, of course, understand your reservations but in such desperate times we need to stick together thus, I am willing to show my sincerity," the Tribe Leader then pulled out a Rank 8 ImmeorialImmemorial Desolate Beast!
Even in the outside world, an Immemorial Desolate Beast was rare not to mention in the Myriad Beast Fusion Color Heaven.
"Isn't that the legendary fire serpent that had been plaguing the Fire Plume Mountain?"
The Gu Immortals present realized that the beast was no ordinary Immemorial Beast but one that had been around for thousands of years!
The Tribe Leader then took out a pot and placed the corpse of the Beast inside turning it into Dao Marks.
The Tribe Leader tried to smile but his heart was bleeding too much, this was a legendary Immemorial Beast!
It would be of great use even to himself, but he realized that to get these people to help he would need to take out some benefits as well.
"Now my fellow tribesmen dump your own possessions as well," The Tribe Leader showed further sincerity by having his tribesmen go first.
