Chapter 2507 Fang Yuan prepares for ascension

A glint flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes, "Finally! I have Rank 9 Fire Gu, now my plans can proceed…"

Fang Yuan took Fire Gu and left, the now ruined hellscape that was the Eastern Sea's, Spectral Heaven.

"That damn Fang Yuan," Heaven cursed after the Colossal returned to its natural elements that made up the Eastern Sea, "Not only has he severed the East part of Spectral Heaven but he's also begun refining it into part of the Eastern Sea!"

Spectral Soul grit his teeth hard, "That's not the biggest problem, once the others find out that it is possible to sever our control of Spectral Heaven we will begin facing a war on all fronts!"

Spectral Soul was right!

He knew that the threat of Fang Yuan was so beyond them that it no longer mattered it was only a matter of time before he was forced to ascend, even without Fire Gu.

What was truly important was the sudden power vacuum that would take place once he left!

With no one for them to rally against it must be no wonder that Spectral Heaven be their next target, if not for the fact it was supposedly impenetrable.

But now Fang Yuan has shown that it was possible to strike Heaven down even within the confines of Spectral Heaven, one just needed to borrow and mimic the powers of a Saint!

"Dammit," Heaven clenched her fists, "Not only am I stuck in this form, but our enemies have just gained valuable information for free! All while we suffer massive losses to our foundation!"

Spectral Soul was just as annoyed, "Can't we just begin retaking East Spectral Heaven?"

Heaven shook her head, "To what end? We don't even have a foothold here anymore, whereas Fang Yuan's will and Dao still linger around here. We would be fighting an uphill better, just let Fang Yuan merge the East Spectral Heaven into the Eastern Sea, if we can't have it at least Heavenly Court won't as well!"

Spectral Soul had a dissatisfied look on his face, "The losses we sustained are still far beyond any gain."

Heaven revealed a smirk, "I wouldn't say there is 0 gain."

Spectral Soul looked at Heaven the same way one would look at an insane person.

"Let's just say he won't get to enjoy his victory for too long," Heaven said while still smirking, whereas Spectral Soul was rolling his eyes at Heaven's vain attempt at being mysterious.

"Ok, I get it you have some amazing plan now out with it."

"...fine…" Heaven revealed her plan to Spectral Soul, "I've replaced all the Will that was inside that Gu with the Will of the Heavenly Dao!"

"Ok? And?"

Heaven replied: "And? What?"

"That's it?"

"Yea."

"How's that accomplish anything!?" Spectral Soul yelled, "That's the same thing as turning the Gu into a Wild one! You've at most dealt him a serve blow to 30 minutes of his life!"

Spectral Soul's words were dripping with sarcasm, "Hellllo, he's the Heaven Refining Demon Venerable! Having your Will instead of the Heavenly Dao's would have probably cost him 45 minutes instead of 30!"

"Maybe it's not too late to switch sides," Spectral Soul rubbed his temples.

"Hmph," Heaven snorted, " As usual your only talent is in being a scourge to the earth, what I did was way more impactful than just a time waste."

Spectral Soul perked up to listen as it didn't look like Heaven was going on one of her boastful rants.

"For you mortals, the Heavenly Dao's will is just a nuisance to deal with because it serves no purpose to you, but to me and Earth it is an extension of our own will!"

Spectral Soul clapped his fist into his palms, "I see. So you're able to waste over an hour of his time wow!"

A swift slap to the face made Spectral Soul shut up for a minute.

"It's the opposite," Heaven held her hands behind her back, "He'll be able to refine this Gu into world record speed!"

The satisfied smile of a well-thought-out plan spread across Heaven's beautifully charming face, "The moment he attempts to refine Fire Gu, all the Heavenly Dao Will within Fire Gu will convert to Fang Yuan's Will!"

!?!?!?

"Ah!" Spectral Soul exclaimed, "I get it, you're trying to suck up to Fang Yuan, if that's what you wanted you should have got on all fours and such his dic-"

A sharp drop kick landed straight onto Spectral Soul's back, causing him to shut up for 2 minutes.

"What I'm trying to do is force him out of the 5 Regions and into the ascended plains, where he'll finally have to pick on someone his own size," Heaven snorted.

"As insanely strong as Fang Yuan is, he's nothing compared to both Reckless Savage and Primordial Origin, believe me."

This time Spectral Soul didn't have a witty reply, "I see, but are you sure this is enough to deal with Fang Yuan?"

"It's the best play we got."

Down in the Eastern Sea,

"Finally, I possess them all."

Fang Yuan instantly began the refining process of Fire Gu, as soon as he started, "Hmph! I knew you'd do something like this."

Not a second later, Fang Yuan was holding a completely refined Rank 9 Fire Gu in his hands.

At that moment, the Dao Fruit of Elements burst forth from Fang Yuan's chest, its magnificent resplendent light illuminating the entire Gu World.

In response to the light shining from the Dao of Elements, the entire 5 Region's elements began to surge and become more active.

Every Region gained an enormous boost to the power of Elements, causing many battles and skirmishes to take a sudden turn in favour of the Elemental Gu Masters.

Fire Gu floated up to take its place in the Rainbow coloured Heptagram, alongside, Water, Earth, Metal, Wind, Light, Dark and,

A light brown Gu floated up to join the 7, instantly completing the Heptagram and causing the light to grow in its intensity.

"Impossible!" Star Constellation hammered against the Constellation Chessboard, "He couldn't have it!"

In the Northern Plains,

"Tch, to think he was still holding out on us, this guy is truly terrifying."

In Spectral Heaven,

!!!

"*Sigh* To think he possessed that Gu as well," Heaven sighed deeply, "Well at least it will force Fang Yuan to ascend faster, the bad news is now Primordial and Reckless can't as easily defeat him anymore."

"How did he get Rank 9 Earth Gu?" Spectral Soul was flabbergasted, "He never displayed its powers and we all saw Earth Gu fail to be refined."

In Heavenly Court,

Red Lotus had just echoed the same words as Spectral Soul,

In Longevity Heaven,

Hei Lou Lan said the same thing

Heaven, Star Constellation and Giant Sun all nodded their heads at the same time and answered,

"Indeed, Earth Gu did not roam around as a Wild Gu, which can only mean one thing."

"Someone gave Fang Yuan Earth Gu!"

!!!
