Chapter 1218: Chapter 357: Twenty Venerables Surrender!
With tens of thousands of years and over a hundred cycles of reincarnation of experience, the battle and war strategies of Blue Blood Venerable are indeed profound.
Previously, Venerable Yuan Gu fell into Fang Ze’s trap due to underestimating him and not understanding his abilities.
Now that they are clear about Fang Ze’s abilities, of course, Blue Blood Venerable and his group won’t give Fang Ze a chance to fight one-on-one.
Seven Venerables, even in the later stages of a domain war, represent a very formidable force. No matter how tricky Fang Ze’s abilities are, it’s hard to withstand.
Moreover, although the Spirit Realm Mountain is shattered, it’s constantly being repaired and needs 20-30 Venerables to maintain it. So, this is already the strongest force Blue Blood Venerable can muster. It’s like a lion going all out to hunt a rabbit.
Venerables are indeed very decisive. After making their decision, the seven Venerables immediately set off, entering the Real World to hunt "Fang Ze."
Since "Fang Ze" had been targeting demigods, there was no way to hide his tracks, so all it took was two hours for the seven Venerables to catch up to "Fang Ze."
Worried that "Fang Ze" would flee upon seeing so many of them, and wanting to set up a space-locking formation, six of the seven Venerables hid a kilometer away, laying in ambush, and sent one Venerable to lure him.
Flying near "Fang Ze," that Venerable looked at "Fang Ze," who was surrounded by a few Divine Fiend guards, and immediately mocked, "So you’re Fang Ze?"
"I’ve heard your Human Race boasts a lot about your power, but from the looks of it now, you’re quite weak. The Human Race is indeed an inferior race without even one Venerable."
At this time.... the Blood Crocodile Venerable, disguised as Fang Ze, glanced at this Venerable like he was a fool: Who is Fang Ze? What is this person talking about?
Thinking this, the Blood Crocodile Venerable, following Fang Ze’s instructions, thought: If someone confronts you, run no matter their strength!
So.... just as that Venerable made himself seem vulgar and started his taunts, the Divine Fiend guards protecting "Fang Ze" suddenly vanished into thin air, and "Fang Ze" also disappeared with a spatial ripple.
That Venerable: ??
Moments later, the other six Venerables, realizing the plan had failed, all came over to check it out.
"What happened? How did Fang Ze escape?"
The Venerable looked innocent, "I don’t know. Weren’t we told that Fang Ze is very arrogant and petty? Why did my taunts not work at all?"
The other Venerables found it strange, too.
But soon they no longer dwelled on the problem: after all, it was a special time, and it was somewhat natural that "Fang Ze" was cautious. They could catch up to "Fang Ze," so with more taunting attempts, he might take the bait.
Thinking this, these Venerables composed themselves and continued their pursuit of "Fang Ze."
And then.... they pursued him for a full month.
During this month, the seven Venerables almost caught up to "Fang Ze" once or twice every day.
Each time, these Venerables would try to lure or mock him, wanting to stall Fang Ze and set up arrays, but "Fang Ze" always slipped away like a slick eel at the sight of them.
This made them suspect at one point that Fang Ze had guessed their intentions.
Thus, they tried to change their approach to see if they could capture "Fang Ze."
They decided not to mock anymore and attacked directly. Yet, "Fang Ze" still didn’t engage and fled.
They suspected that Fang Ze knew their strength, so they had other demigods mock him, yet... "Fang Ze" still ran.
They tried... ambushing "Fang Ze" all at once to hold him down, but "Fang Ze" ran even faster.
In this month’s time, they exhausted all the means; the one time they were closest to victory was when they caught Fang Ze in the act of ambushing a demigod and quietly set up a space-restricting barrier around.
When the barrier was complete, they revealed themselves to pursue "Fang Ze."
This time, as "Fang Ze" tried to teleport, he was indeed blocked.
In that instant, the seven Venerables were ecstatic, thinking that they had finally captured Fang Ze!
However, at that moment, Fang Ze, like those Divine Fiends, vanished into thin air—no space ripple, no trace of concealment.
This time, the seven Venerables began to doubt whether they could ever capture Fang Ze.
However, they also raised the danger level of Fang Ze by several grades: Strength can be countered by numbers; speed can be constrained by arrays; control over others can be countered by group action. But... when all these conditions come together and arrays can’t catch him, it becomes terrifying!
In this month, the only sense of achievement these Venerables had was seeing that the number of Fang Ze’s Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends was dwindling—perhaps due to lacking Divine Power or some other reason, the original five Divine Fiends gradually reduced to just two. Naturally, these Venerables credited this to their relentless pursuit.
During this month, the whole situation of the domain war changed very rapidly.
