Although Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had entered the battle, he had been holding back his strength the entire time.
His plan was to conserve his own Immortal Essence, continue hiding his trump cards, and let Star Constellation and Fang Yuan wear each other down.
But although Fang Yuan appeared wretched and at a disadvantage, he was actually gaining benefits by the moment. This was something Giant Sun Immortal Venerable could not bear to watch.
Giant Sun was an Immortal Venerable, and he naturally would not be easily blinded by the favorable situation before his eyes.
"Fellow Immortal Fang Yuan, take this move!" Giant Sun Immortal Venerable suddenly let out a low shout. He first activated Lingering Fortune Waste, then employed Accumulated Return.
Lingering Fortune Waste activated with extreme speed, and Fang Yuan had no way to dodge.
This was because when Giant Sun Immortal Venerable cast this move, he did not target Fang Yuan — he directed it at himself.
Immediately, golden mist began to swirl around Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's body, very thin and faint.
Then, in the next instant, this layer of golden mist inexplicably appeared on Fang Yuan's body!
Fang Yuan was briefly startled, then immediately grasped the profound mechanism at work.
It turned out that after Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Fang Yuan had exchanged blows, their fortunes had become increasingly entangled, as if threads and bridges had been strung between them, forming a tight bond. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had seized upon this connection, tracing the vine to its root, allowing Lingering Fortune Waste to find its way to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan possessed considerable attainment in the Luck Path, and he immediately saw through this layer.
But at the same time, his attainment in the Luck Path was far inferior to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's. Even though he had seen through the mechanism, he was unable to block the move.
The Lingering Fortune Waste lethal move coiled around Fang Yuan's body, continuously draining and eroding his fortune.
Fang Yuan possessed the Reverse Flow Protection Seal, which activated at this moment, reflecting the Lingering Fortune Waste back.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable saw this not with worry but with delight. He even cooperated with the Reverse Flow Protection Seal, allowing the reflected force to travel back to himself along the bond between their fortunes.
Then, the Accumulated Return lethal move took effect, causing the golden mist around him to immediately thicken by a degree.
The thickened golden mist once again traveled along the connection between their fortunes, returning to Fang Yuan's body.
After the Lingering Fortune Waste was reflected by the Reverse Flow Protection Seal, it was amplified by the Accumulated Return on Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's body, then sent back to Fang Yuan once more.
After several such back-and-forth cycles, the power of the Lingering Fortune Waste grew stronger and stronger.
Fang Yuan's expression immediately turned grave. A Venerable was not to be underestimated — not only had Star Constellation Immortal Venerable devised a method to counter the Reverse Flow Protection Seal, but Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had as well.
In comparison, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, as a Wisdom Path Gu Immortal, had countered it more thoroughly, directly preventing the Reverse Flow Protection Seal from activating.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's counter was not as thorough. Instead, he had found an alternative approach by imitating the Reverse Flow Protection Seal. If the Reverse Flow Protection Seal reflects attacks, then I, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, will also reflect.
Through the combination of two moves, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable gained the advantage.
Because the Lingering Fortune Waste grew stronger with each cycle, even though the Reverse Flow Protection Seal could reflect it, the scale of the Reverse Flow River was fixed.
Before either side reached their limit, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had achieved his tactical goal of exchanging Immortal Essence against Fang Yuan's Reverse Flow River.
The Reverse Flow Protection Seal was indeed difficult to deal with. Previously, when Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had fought Fang Yuan, he had used various attacks to strike directly at the Reverse Flow Protection Seal, triggering the rapid depletion of the Reverse Flow River.
Now, by combining Lingering Fortune Waste and Accumulated Return, this approach was far more efficient than the direct strikes he had used before.
And exchanging Immortal Essence against a Heaven and Earth blessed land was also a tremendous advantage.
After all, accumulating Immortal Essence was far easier and cheaper than restoring the Reverse Flow River.
Fang Yuan was both shocked and furious: "Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, your actions today will be repaid handsomely in the future!"
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable looked at Fang Yuan and sighed inwardly, feeling that Fang Yuan's pursuit of Heavenly Dao Dreamscapes was exceedingly unwise!
But then Giant Sun Immortal Venerable reconsidered, and felt he could understand.
"After all, Heavenly Dao Dreamscapes are a key resource that can change the balance between Venerables!"
"If these Heavenly Dao Dreamscapes were replaced with Ninth Transformation Blood Path Immortal Gu, or Blood Path and Luck Path Heaven and Earth blessed lands, I myself would probably be blinded by greed."
"In that case, it seems Fang Yuan is looking to develop in the Heavenly Dao."
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable now revealed his hidden cards, pressing Fang Yuan into an even more wretched state.
On the other side, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had finished her preparations as well. She immediately activated a move, unleashing an endless radiance of azure blue.
The radiance shone upon the dreamscapes, and the Heavenly Dao Dreamscapes suddenly went berserk, their forms constantly shifting and morphing, as if their bones had been pulled out, becoming a lump of dough being endlessly kneaded.
"This is bad! Star Constellation Immortal Venerable actually has a method that targets the dreamscapes!" The instant Fang Yuan saw this, a cold gleam flashed through his eyes.
Without hesitation, he immediately deactivated the Reverse Flow Protection Seal. Relying solely on Heavenly Secrets Confusion and Heaven's Net, he forced his way straight through Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's two-move onslaught, charging powerfully toward Star Constellation Immortal Venerable!
Meanwhile, after Fang Yuan's clone Meng Qiu Zhen entered the Heavenly Dao Dreamscape, his vision shifted dramatically.
In the next moment, he discovered that he had become an earth spirit resembling a pink cloth doll.
Meng Qiu Zhen showed not a trace of surprise.
He chuckled and began to unleash his powers, transforming and developing this blessed land within the dream.
Unlike Purple Star Fairy and Shadow No Evil, Meng Qiu Zhen had come fully prepared.
Since Fang Yuan had taken the initiative to strike, he had naturally made preparations in advance. Although he could not use the Steal Heavenly Secrets killer move to completely probe every secret of the Heavenly Dao Dreamscapes, he had thoroughly grasped the general rules within.
