Fang Yuan was, of course, the exception.
When the demonic music sounded, Fang Yuan was already prepared. Back then he could deal with the demonic music, and now it was even easier for him.
Under the influence of the demonic music, the Dao Marks of the same path on the seventh layer began to converge together, forming vast stretches of brilliant color, no longer as chaotic and fragmented as before.
"What a magnificent sight!" Lu Weiyin praised sincerely. "Uh..."
The next moment, he saw Fang Yuan take out the Thieves' Nest Immortal Gu House.
The Theft Path killer move activated!
Vast stretches of Dao Marks were directly stolen, forming the corresponding Ninth Transformation Immortal Materials within the Thieves' Nest.
These Ninth Transformation Immortal Materials were extremely pure, containing only a single type of Dao Mark each, making them immensely valuable.
Lu Weiyin watched for a moment and couldn't help but click his tongue.
He conservatively estimated: in just a dozen or so breaths, Fang Yuan had already obtained at least three pieces of Ninth Transformation Immortal Material!
Ninth Transformation Immortal Material!
Wasn't this coming far too easily?
Fang Yuan and Lu Weiyin pressed onward, and wherever they went, vast stretches of Dao Marks vanished.
The originally resplendent and magnificent scene was like being gnawed away by enormous rats. Wherever Fang Yuan passed, what remained was patch after patch of emptiness and darkness.
Lu Weiyin's eyes were turning red just watching.
Fang Yuan's bountiful harvest and tremendous gains had even stirred feelings of jealousy within him.
"I've struck it rich, completely struck it rich! This is the first time I've ever seen anyone harvest such enormous quantities of Ninth Transformation Immortal Materials so effortlessly!" Lu Weiyin muttered incessantly in his mind.
He could no longer even estimate how many Ninth Transformation Immortal Materials Fang Yuan had obtained.
In any case, it was a great deal. An enormous amount.
Pressing onward, the two finally arrived at the entrance to the eighth layer.
Fang Yuan's complexion had turned slightly pale. Continuously operating the Thieves' Nest to execute the Theft Path killer move placed considerable strain on him. The consumption of Immortal Essence was particularly heavy.
Lu Weiyin grew somewhat concerned: "Lord Fang Yuan, please do watch your Immortal Essence reserves."
"It's nothing." Fang Yuan smiled faintly. "I have the Heavenly Origin Treasure Emperor Lotus at the Eighth Transformation level."
Hearing this, Lu Weiyin's expression froze for a moment before he spoke: "Impressive, impressive. As expected of Lord Fang Yuan."
At the entrance, Fang Yuan once again saw three paths.
One path blazed with golden light, its fortune surging like steam. It was the Fortune Path left behind by Blazing Sun Immortal Venerable from when he had walked here before.
One path was eerie and terrifying, its killing intent pervading everything. This was the Soul Path remnant left behind when Reckless Demon Soul entered the eighth layer.
One path was plain and unadorned, bearing all with silent virtue. This was the path of Blessed Land Immortal Venerable.
Lu Weiyin had originally prepared means that would allow him to walk Blessed Land's path.
But with a wave of his hand, Fang Yuan activated the Thieves' Nest, and all three paths were gnawed clean, vanishing entirely.
A massive quantity of Ninth Transformation Immortal Material was produced as a result.
Lu Weiyin's lips moved, but in the end he said nothing, silently following Fang Yuan into the eighth layer.
Void!
A vast, boundless void, like a boundless ocean.
And Fang Yuan and Lu Weiyin, who had entered here, were merely two water bugs in that ocean — infinitesimally small.
Fang Yuan had been here once before, and it had left an extremely deep impression on him.
In the boundless void, myriads of worlds were constantly born and destroyed, deducing entirely new Heavenly Dao Marks.
He had once attempted to push deeper into the ninth layer, but had not succeeded.
This void was clearly the profound truth of the Void Path. At the time, Fang Yuan had no attainment in the Void Path and could not discern the entrance to the ninth layer at all.
But this time, he had come prepared.
His Void Path attainment had already reached the Master level.
Immediately, Fang Yuan attempted to activate a Void Path method.
"Hm?" The next moment, Fang Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows. "The void here seems different from before."
But what exactly was different, Fang Yuan couldn't say.
Though he had made great progress in the Void Path, he was still far from being able to see through Limitless Demon Venerable's arrangements on the eighth layer.
"Please, follow me." Lu Weiyin activated a certain killer move, immediately discerned the direction, and led the way ahead.
Fang Yuan then flew rapidly after Lu Weiyin.
Along the way, he once again saw world after world being born and destroyed, their mysteries extraordinary.
But unlike before, these worlds were also drifting through the void simultaneously. No matter what kind of world it was, they were all moving in the same direction.
Fang Yuan's calculations finally bore fruit.
His expression shifted as he spoke: "I understand now. This void is contracting. When the final moment arrives, all the worlds, all the Heavenly Dao Marks will be compressed together and fused as one. Could this be Limitless Demon Venerable's grand design?"
