Thud.
Yuan Qiongdou, who had been overseeing the repair work all along, saw darkness before his eyes and collapsed on the spot.
He had already been injured, and when the Refinement Dao Great Array was broken, the aftershocks struck him as well, immediately knocking him unconscious.
Without him making a move, although Success Dao Marks were still being sent over in small trickles, the repair of Fate Gu immediately stalled.
Cong Yan was implicated as well.
This Rank 8 Heavenly Court Gu Immortal had originally been working together with Che Wei to resist the Northern Plains Gu Immortals Bull Demon and Five Elements Master.
Bull Demon and Five Elements Master had been fiercely attacking the Refinement Dao Gu Formation, but Cong Yan had long since prepared for this, diverting all the damage they inflicted upon the Refinement Dao Great Array onto himself.
Now that Calamity Luck Altar had rammed the Refinement Dao Great Array into partial ruin, Cong Yan bore a large portion of that damage as well.
Golden stars danced before Cong Yan's eyes, his ears buzzed, and blood sprayed from all seven orifices. He nearly crumpled to the ground on the spot.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Che Wei came to his aid in time and shielded him behind him.
"How are you?" Che Wei shouted as he fended off Bull Demon and Five Elements Master's combined frenzied assault.
"I-I'm not dead yet..." As Cong Yan spoke, he coughed up another mouthful of heart's blood.
"Hurry and support them!"
"Who will reconstruct the Refinement Dao Great Array?"
"Yuan Qiongdou has always overseen the repair of Fate Gu. No outsider can take over in such haste. We must wake him first!"
The intense light of luck path dispersed, and all the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals charged back like madmen.
