Immortal Path Killer Move — Seven Slaying Rainbow Light!
Fang Yuan pushed forward with his hand, and a beam of rainbow light shot out from his palm.
Boom.
With a tremendous crash, the rainbow light suddenly expanded dozens of times over, sweeping left and right like a pillar of heaven, clearing away countless soul mists and haze.
Seizing the opening, Fang Yuan's speed surged and he broke free of the soul mists without a hitch.
In an instant, the scorching sun flooded Fang Yuan's vision. Its terrifying light and heat rapidly obliterated the soul mists and haze trailing behind him.
Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul howled in fury, tearing through the already-thinning soul mists and haze, once again closing in for the kill.
"Still following me?" A cold glint flashed through Fang Yuan's eyes.
At this critical moment, he decisively sacrificed the White Day Heavenly Spirit. Without the burden of the Heavenly Phase killer move, it was as though an invisible mountain had been lifted from his shoulders.
Before, his inability to approach the sun had been due to the burden of the Heavenly Phase killer move.
Now that Fang Yuan no longer had this concern, he immediately closed in on the sun once more.
The terrifying incandescent brilliance nearly blinded Fang Yuan. The rapidly rising temperature, even behind three layers of defensive measures, left him struggling to breathe, drenched in sweat from head to toe.
Behind him, Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul unleashed yet another killer move. Hundreds of arms rose like towering ancient trees. Black smoke surged from his body, quickly blanketing the surrounding area for miles.
Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul rode the billowing black fog, steadily closing the distance to Fang Yuan.
"He still wants to trap me with a battlefield killer move?" A flash of surprise crossed Fang Yuan's eyes, but he struck immediately, dispersing the black fog with ease.
Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul instantly suffered a backlash, his aura plummeting by a huge margin.
The bulk of Fang Yuan's attention remained fixed on the Supreme Immortal Aperture. The refinement of the Heavenly Origin Imperial Lotus had never once slipped from his mind.
To be honest, the pressure that the current Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul posed to Fang Yuan was actually quite minimal!
His muddled state of mind was Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul's greatest weakness.
Just now, his instinct-driven attempt to trap Fang Yuan with a battlefield killer move had been nothing short of foolish. Fang Yuan had dismantled it with trivial ease, turning the move into a devastating backlash against its caster.
Back in the Madness Demon Lair, when Fang Yuan, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, Joy Land, and the others had fallen into the Gate of Life and Death, Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul's combat strength had been incomparably fearsome.
But now, without the Soul Path environment of the Gate of Life and Death, Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul's threat had dropped by several tiers.
The most important point was that Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul was currently in poor condition — likely the steep price he had paid to seal the breach in the Madness Demon Lair!
It seemed that the breach in the Womb Wall had already been sealed by Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul.
Fang Yuan knew that when a breach appeared in the Womb Wall of the Gu Master world, the Heavenly Way would deploy every means at its disposal to self-heal. However, the ceaseless assault of Chaos from beyond the world made such healing extraordinarily difficult. The larger the breach, the greater this difficulty became.
The breach originally torn open by Demon Venerable Stealing Heaven had required the combined power of several Venerables to contain.
The breach at the center of the Madness Demon Grand Formation, created by Demon Venerable Limitless, had been the smallest. The Grand Formation continuously repelled Chaos, strictly controlling the breach's size, which was why the Madness Demon Lair had survived to the present day.
After the battle for the Madness Demon Lair, Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul had proactively sealed this breach, using his own foundation to withstand the Chaos onslaught and buy ample time for the Heavenly Way's healing.
That the breach had been sealed was not surprising.
Had it still been open, given the Heavenly Court's stance, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable would never have lured Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul out. In truth, if the breach still existed, Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul would not have come out either. According to Fang Yuan's calculations, he would have devoted everything to suppressing it!
Unfortunately, the Ghost Unperceived killer move was ineffective, or he could have shaken off Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul with ease.
Fang Yuan had inherited Ghost Unperceived, one of the true inheritances of Stealing Heaven, but this intelligence was already known to the Venerables.
Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, and even Giant Sun Immortal Venerable — all had methods to counter it.
Ghost Unperceived had, after all, been created during the Stealing Heaven era. More than three hundred thousand years had passed since then, and in the eyes of Venerables, it was long obsolete.
Fang Yuan wished to improve it as well, but his attainment in both Theft Path and Soul Path was insufficient.
Still, even without Ghost Unperceived, Fang Yuan could calmly extricate himself from Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul.
In the next instant, he activated the battlefield killer move he had been preparing for so long.
The killer move burst forth, enveloping Fang Yuan himself, then rapidly condensed to a single point and anchored itself in the void.
Demon Venerable Ghostly Soul pounced forward, unleashing a frenzied bombardment on the spot to no avail. He prowled about restlessly, howling in rage again and again.
"Opportunity knocks but once!" Inside the battlefield killer move, sharp light blazed in Fang Yuan's eyes as he poured nearly all his power into the refinement of the Heavenly Origin Imperial Lotus.
This was probably his last chance.
Within the Four Origin Square Regret Blood Refinement Pool, flames roared and glaciers began to melt. Chunks of Ninth Transformation immortal materials were fed into the flames as casually as common cabbage.
From the heart of the flames, a single drop of golden-red liquid seeped out, thick as molten lava.
The crimson lava droplet, its surface wreathed in a faint golden glow, drifted slowly downward until it landed upon the Heavenly Origin Imperial Lotus.
Under Fang Yuan's full exertion, the crimson lava droplet began to slowly permeate, gradually dissipating into the surface of the Heavenly Origin Imperial Lotus.
None of the assisting Gu Immortals dared to breathe loudly.
They all knew that these were the final steps — the most critical moment!
Should they fail here, the Eighth Transformation Heavenly Origin Imperial Lotus would suffer anything from crippling damage to outright destruction.
Fang Yuan had vanished!
Almost the instant Fang Yuan entered the battlefield killer move, both Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable activated their strongest detection methods.
Protected by Heavenly Secrets Confusion, they only detected that Fang Yuan had retreated into the battlefield killer move. They discovered nothing of the truth behind the refinement.
