"You want me to leave my life behind? Hehehe, it's rare to see Fellow Immortal
She had clashed with Fang Yuan numerous times and rarely seen him display such an aggressive stance. This only showed how determined Fang Yuan was to obtain these Heavenly Dao Dreams!
And precisely because of this, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had to stop him all the more.
"We haven't exchanged blows in quite some time — Fellow Immortal Fang Yuan must have gained quite a bit of improvement." As she spoke, her long hair drifted without any wind.
Her hair was black as the night sky, yet countless starlight sparkles shimmered between the strands, as though the entire celestial river had been condensed into it. It was dazzlingly brilliant, blindingly radiant, impossible to ignore in the slightest.
Ting, ting, ting…
Countless specks of starlight flowed from the tips of her hair, converging into a torrent of stellar radiance.
This torrent was composed entirely of innumerable star shards. As it surged and swept forward, the shards collided with one another, producing crisp, melodious sounds.
Fang Yuan's brows furrowed slightly. He had never seen this move before. Without delay, he extended a finger and unleashed a technique called Seven Kill Rainbow Light.
In an instant, the golden light of the Gold Path, the jade-green radiance of the Wood Path, the pale blue of the Water Path, the crimson glow of the Flame Path, the brown shimmer of the Earth Path, the verdant aura of the Wind Path, and the deep blue of the Lightning Path all merged together, forming a massive spiraling pillar of light that crashed toward the river of star shards.
BOOM!
When the two collided, a thunderous explosion shook heaven and earth. Then came a cascade of tingling sounds as countless star shards struck against each other, filling the ears to the brim.
Fang Yuan's Seven Kill Rainbow Light pierced through the star shards, winding upward like a multicolored dragon, surging straight toward Star Constellation Immortal Venerable.
She smiled faintly, her figure drifting like the wind, retreating with effortless grace. She floated backward a considerable distance.
The deeper Fang Yuan's Seven Kill Rainbow Light drilled into the star shards, the more its momentum weakened. At first, it possessed a piercing force that was difficult to resist, but soon it was coated by the innumerable star shards clinging to it from every direction, their combined force grinding it down violently. In the end, the pillar of light grew thinner and thinner. By the time it reached Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, only wisps of smoke remained.
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable watched with a smile as the Seven Kill Rainbow Light, now mere paces away, dissipated like smoke.
Fang Yuan's brows remained furrowed as his eyes fixed on the star shards scattered across the battlefield.
Every single one of these shards was minuscule beyond measure. They were not true star shards — they were formed by a killer move.
The original star shards had glimmered with a faint blue light, merging together into a sapphire torrent. But now these shards were scattered, having absorbed Fang Yuan's earlier Seven Kill Rainbow Light. Their outer surfaces were coated in golden yellow, emerald green, pale blue, scarlet red, deep brown, and other hues. The entire battlefield was spread with a sky full of color, the scene resplendent beyond imagination.
Yet from this boundless, magnificent vista, Fang Yuan sensed a deep and looming crisis.
He probed further with another killer move, and the result was the same without exception — the move's power held for only a brief moment before plummeting sharply, dispersed and absorbed by the countless star shards.
At that moment, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable activated yet another technique.
She was seen flicking her fingers in rapid succession, then dancing all ten digits through the air as if painting. Across the battlefield, trails of starlight inscriptions blazed to life in response to her movements.
These starlight inscriptions expanded rapidly in scale, linking with one another. In mere dozens of breaths, they had constructed the rudimentary framework of a battlefield killer move!
How could Fang Yuan allow Star Constellation Immortal Venerable to succeed so easily? Once the battlefield killer move was established, she would immediately gain overwhelming territorial advantage.
Fang Yuan moved to intercept at once, but the effect was negligible.
The star shards shielded the inscriptions. Even when Fang Yuan destroyed an inscription of the Star Path, it would shatter into countless star shards and fill in the gaps.
"I have Fellow Immortal Fang Yuan to thank for this. Without the Constant Gu, how could these two moves exist?" Star Constellation Immortal Venerable said.
These two moves of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable were something Fang Yuan had never heard of before. The way they complemented each other was truly extraordinary.
Seeing that he could not break through with brute force, a thought flashed through Fang Yuan's mind. He decisively ceased his probing and switched to a different killer move.
In the next instant, five-colored radiance bloomed around his body — the Southern Restriction Purple-Black Miasma Light, the Central Restriction Sacred White Gold Light, the Northern Restriction Sweetgrass Jade Light, the Western Restriction Wild Flame Crimson Light, and the Eastern Restriction Vast Waters Blue Light.
The five-colored lights formed a continuous whole, yet remained distinctly separate. They spread rapidly, swiftly saturating the battlefield, enveloping both the rudimentary battlefield killer move Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had laid out and the countless star shards.
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable gave a slight nod, a look of appreciation on her face.
Whether it was the earlier Seven Kill Rainbow Light or the current Five Restriction Mysterious Light, both had been refined by Fang Yuan.
If it were the original version, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable could have immediately deployed a counter, causing backlash against Fang Yuan.
The earlier Seven Kill Rainbow Light had only been modified to a moderate degree. In this short time, she had already figured it out completely. Given a little more time, she could calculate a direct countermeasure.
But this Five Restriction Mysterious Light had been refined far more thoroughly. Its power had been elevated by a full tier, and more importantly, its activation speed had become remarkably fast.
This degree of improvement clearly surpassed the Seven Kill Rainbow Light, showing just how much effort Fang Yuan had invested here.
"He must have devoted considerable energy and time," Star Constellation Immortal Venerable thought.
She was now suffering backlash.
She did not possess the Supreme Immortal Body. Different-path inscriptions repelled each other, and within this five-colored mysterious light, the more powerful the moves she activated, the greater the backlash she endured.
However, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable was the foremost Wisdom Path cultivator across all of time and space. Since the Five Restriction Mysterious Light had already been revealed, how could she possibly lack a counter?
Over this period, she had devised at least three response strategies for every move Fang Yuan had exposed.
Without hesitation, she chose the simplest one.
She opened her Immortal Essence aperture a crack and released countless star beasts from within.
Some of these star beasts were as large as white whales, others as small as gnats. Some had imposing horns and antlers, while others were sinuous and soft. They came in every shape and size, an endless variety of bizarre forms.
But without exception, every single one was at least an Ancient Desolate Beast. Among them were leader-class beasts whose auras and presence were noticeably superior to the rest, and when their eyes gleamed, they showed a sharp, intelligent glint.
The star beasts charged into the Five Restriction Mysterious Light — and not a single one was impeded!
