"So the Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals of Heavenly Court all fell in Langya Blessed Land!"
"Unbelievable! Thunder Ghost True Monarch is a legendary figure — he once stood against Spectral Soul Demon Venerable. And Chen Yi was the previous Grand Elder of the Yuan Lian Sect, wielding the Yuan Lian True Inheritance!"
"That these two great figures actually died at Fang Yuan's hands? Impossible to imagine!"
"Not only that — this demon Fang Yuan hasn't stopped at all. He's now wreaked havoc on the Southern Border Gu Immortal world. Southern Border's Xia Cha, Ba Shiba, and a whole host of Seventh Transformation powerhouses have all been captured by him!"
"How can he possibly be this strong? He's only at the Seventh Transformation!"
"When fighting Heavenly Court, he drew upon the reserves of Langya Blessed Land. And when fighting Southern Border, he relied on a super Time Path grand formation!"
"There are too many suspicious details here. Even now I can hardly believe it."
"It should be true. Neither Heavenly Court nor Southern Border has denied it!"
"Fang Yuan… this demon is becoming more and more terrifying. It hasn't been long at all, and he's already slaughtered Eighth Transformation powerhouses and captured an entire group of Seventh and Eighth Transformations!"
"Ha ha ha! The Righteous Path of Southern Border has lost far too much face!"
"You can't put it that way — even Heavenly Court fell into Fang Yuan's hands."
"Fang Yuan is only at the Seventh Transformation, yet his methods are this extraordinary?!"
"I think I've figured it out. A figure like Fang Yuan can never be measured by conventional standards!"
"He already has the bearing of a Demon Venerable! Haven't all the Demon Venerables of history been like this in their youth? Challenging those above their level is a daily occurrence — killing Eighth Transformations seems effortless!"
"Mm, that makes a lot of sense…"
"What a pity that in the future there will only be the Great Dream Immortal Venerable, with no Demon Venerable. This isn't Fang Yuan's era."
"You're wrong about that. Heavenly Court's Fate Gu was destroyed by Red Lotus Demon Venerable — who knows what the future will look like?"
"Fang Yuan is this vicious at only the Seventh Transformation, his sins practically reaching the heavens. What will it be like when he reaches the Eighth Transformation?"
"Exactly. While he's still at the Seventh Transformation, putting a killing blow on him — this is the last best opportunity to eliminate him!"
"Hard to do! Even Heavenly Court hasn't been able to track him down…"
"Fang Yuan is not only ruthless, but cunning as well. He's an Otherworldly Demon reborn, with far too many tricks up his sleeve. Ordinary powerhouses who seek trouble with him are simply asking for death. Even Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals have to be extra careful to avoid falling into his schemes."
"But if someone truly killed Fang Yuan, the rewards would be enormous."
"Indeed! The Venerable True Inheritances in Fang Yuan's possession, the countless resources, the Spring Autumn Cicada, the Immortal Travel Gu, numerous other Immortal Gu, and several Great Secret Realms… He's completely on par with a super force!"
The Five Regions' Gu Immortal world was thrown into an uproar. Fang Yuan had become the center of discussion and debate among countless Gu Immortals.
The Gu Immortals felt a complicated tangle of hatred, fear, and jealousy toward him.
If Fang Yuan's earlier escape from Thunder Ghost True Monarch's pursuit — and hanging the Thunder Ghost True Monarch's sternum in Treasure Yellow Heaven — had made his name known throughout the world…
Then now, with Eighth Transformation blood on his hands and a whole host of powerful Gu Immortals captured under his command, Fang Yuan's fame had truly shaken the Immortal world!
Previously, relying on the Reverse Flow Protective Inscription, he had barely been able to trade blows with Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals, earning him the title of the foremost among Seventh Transformations.
But now, not only Sixth and Seventh Transformation Gu Immortals, but even the vast majority of Eighth Transformations held deep wariness toward Fang Yuan, without the slightest trace of contempt.
A new title for Fang Yuan gradually reached consensus among the Gu Immortals — Little Demon Venerable!
This title signified that Fang Yuan possessed the potential and bearing to become a Demon Venerable — a future Demon Venerable in the making.
This was an extraordinarily high appraisal.
Throughout the history of the human race, past and present, powerful Gu Immortals had shone like stars in the sky — but how many among them had become Venerables?
All told, there had been only ten.
Now, the Gu Immortal world universally acknowledged that Fang Yuan held the hope of ascending to the rank of Venerable!
Of course, apart from the discussions surrounding Fang Yuan, Heavenly Court had not escaped the Gu Immortals' debate either.
The Starfall killer move that Fang Yuan had exposed left the Gu Immortals of the other four regions utterly shaken.
The Righteous Path super forces in particular were sitting on pins and needles.
The Starfall killer move carried immense strategic significance — it allowed Central Continent and Heavenly Court to secretly dispatch multiple Gu Immortals, launching sudden concentrated strikes.
This move kept Heavenly Court firmly on the offensive.
The Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals of the other four regions were almost all regional leaders — they couldn't possibly huddle together at all times to guard against Starfall!
This gave Heavenly Court the perfect opportunity to use Starfall to assemble Eighth Transformation combat power and overwhelm isolated targets.
Within Heavenly Court, Fairy Ziwei's expression was grim as deep water.
Even though she had anticipated this, now that it had truly happened, she could not help but feel wretched.
Fairy Ziwei did not want Fang Yuan to have it easy, and Fang Yuan in turn had not made things easy for Heavenly Court.
In this publicly brutal clash, both sides were losers.
And the person who had suffered the greatest blow was most likely Gu Yue Fang Zheng.
He had just recently advanced to the Sixth Transformation and begun to grasp the might of a Gu Immortal — his confidence was rising — when he was suddenly struck by this devastating news!
Fang Yuan was actually able to strike at Heavenly Court, and even the Righteous Path forces of Southern Border were powerless against him!
Fang Yuan was only at the Seventh Transformation, yet defying all reason, even Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals were no match for him!!
"I…" When Gu Yue Fang Zheng first heard this intelligence, a flood of words surged up inside him, but none could come out.
After a long while, his face turned ashen, and he muttered to himself: "I… I really was far too naive."
