Chen Yi had revealed his true strength, and the Heavenly Court side held an overwhelming advantage. What worried Fang Yuan even more was that none of them had used their full power.
Even Chen Yi, who was fighting the hardest, hadn't unleashed his Karma Divine Tree killer move.
"Even if Chen Yi isn't on the same level as Purple Mountain True Monarch or Lord Dragon, he's still a top-tier Eighth Transformation powerhouse! The same goes for Fairy Purple Violet and Thunder Ghost True Monarch, and Feng Jiuge is not to be underestimated either. Only I can step in!"
Chen Yi alone suppressed both the Primordial Stone Dragon and the Silver Giant, while the Super Gu Formation held off Feng Jiuge and Fairy Purple Violet. On the Langya side, Fang Yuan was the only Eighth Transformation combatant — if he didn't step in, who else could turn the tide?
In truth, the Langya Earth Spirit had already urged him on multiple times.
With a flash of golden light, Fang Yuan's figure materialized before Fairy Purple Violet.
Fairy Purple Violet had anticipated this. She raised her fair hand, and a swirl of Purple Sandalwood Divine Wind surged forth.
The wind swept in, brushing lightly against Fang Yuan's body. Ripple marks immediately bloomed across his Reverse Flow Body Protection Seal.
"Hm? This killer move!" Fang Yuan's heart sank.
This Purple Sandalwood Divine Wind grew stronger against the strong and weaker against the weak — much like the Reverse Flow Body Protection Seal, it followed a defensive counterattack approach. The Reverse Flow Body Protection Seal possessed no offensive power whatsoever, and it reversed the Purple Sandalwood Divine Wind in kind. Neither side could overcome the other, but Fang Yuan was nonetheless shoved backward by the wind's force.
"Fang Yuan, you've finally deigned to show yourself!" A streak of lightning flashed. Thunder Ghost True Monarch Jing Lan, clad in full armor, materialized behind Fang Yuan as though by teleportation, her face twisted in a savage grin, brimming with killing intent.
"Trident Lightning Split!" Jing Lan shouted, pressing her palms together. Three bolts of lightning shot forth from between her fingers.
The bolts crackled and merged in midair, forming a trident composed of blue lightning arcs.
The Trident Lightning Split struck Fang Yuan's back but was blocked by the Reverse Flow Body Protection Seal and reflected entirely back.
Jing Lan laughed heartily, opening her mouth to swallow the Trident Lightning Split into her belly. Then, threads of lightning surged from her eyes as she retreated through the air.
Fang Yuan's heart sank again. "This isn't good. This Trident Lightning Split killer move is clearly meant to probe my Reverse Flow Body Protection Seal. Although Thunder Ghost True Monarch isn't a Wisdom Path Gu Immortal, with a great Wisdom Path expert like Fairy Purple Violet present, she has every ability to crack my Reverse Flow Body Protection Seal on the spot!"
Last time, when Fang Yuan had orchestrated his scheme, Thunder Ghost True Monarch had been brutally beaten and Fairy Purple Violet had also suffered defeat.
However, the trap that Fang Yuan had painstakingly laid was now exposed and useless.
During this period, Fang Yuan had been meticulously planning, cultivating diligently, and making active preparations. The Heavenly Court side had done the same. Not only had they mobilized their forces and done their best to round out Thunder Ghost True Monarch's Immortal Gu lineup, but Fairy Purple Violet had also used the Star Constellation Chessboard to specially design the Trident Lightning Split killer move for Thunder Ghost True Monarch based on real combat data — all to counter Fang Yuan's Reverse Flow Body Protection Seal!
Fang Yuan's heart was heavy, but he was far from panicking. In fact, this was well within his expectations.
He engaged actively, fighting his hardest against Fairy Purple Violet and Thunder Ghost True Monarch in an attempt to relieve pressure on the other fronts.
The two sides traded blows back and forth, fighting so fiercely that heaven and earth changed color and the surface of the Cloud Cover Continent was left unrecognizable. The thunderous roar of battle echoed across the heavens, filling countless Hairmen commoners and Gu Masters with terror.
The Silver Giant had finished off the Giant Wooden Statue, but Chen Yi conjured another one in the blink of an eye.
The Primordial Stone Dragon remained bound by the Immortal-Binding Vines, its hope of escape growing dimmer by the moment.
Even Fang Yuan could do nothing about it. It wasn't that he hadn't tried, but the outer Ancient Wood Cage was far too thick and impervious to Immortal Path killer move bombardments — truly a headache.
"This killer move certainly isn't impervious to all Immortal Path killer moves — we simply haven't found the right approach. Given enough time, I could use my Wisdom Path techniques to deduce this move's origins and crack it!"
Fang Yuan lamented silently.
