The Qi Harvest Fruit melted away, and the human figure inside it also melted beneath the power of rank nine Fire Gu.
Fang Yuan had already retreated far toward the edge of Heavenly Court, yet the flames still chased after him all the way to the border. He sighed inwardly and unleashed a compound killer move. Icy currents surged toward the blue flames, extinguishing a large portion of them.
Then the ice transformed into a sea of green water that swept through the flames and extinguished them completely. Spectral Soul's body halted at the center of Heavenly Court as he gasped in pain, yet he still charged forward in an attempt to destroy Heavenly Court.
"Fang Yuan!.. You are a scourge upon the world and all of humanity, killing you today is for the future of mankind!"
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable attacked Fang Yuan with overwhelming momentum. The sky turned purple as she waved her sleeve, causing countless star specks to fly toward Fang Yuan's body.
Fang Yuan sneered. He had already intended to withdraw from Heavenly Court, but Star Constellation blocked him and sealed the exit. Although Fang Yuan possessed a far more abundant supply of immortal essence than Star Constellation, he had already exposed many of his trump cards in this battle and had no intention of continuing. His goal had already been achieved.
The Qi Harvest Fruit had been destroyed, Primordial Origin's revival plan had been thwarted, and Heavenly Court had been reduced to ruins. Even Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had consumed a tremendous amount of their strength, while he himself had not revealed everything he possessed.
"Star Constellation, I created this killer move after you allowed me to obtain Heaven Path dream realms. I should thank you properly."
Star Constellation's eyes turned purple as she analyzed every movement Fang Yuan made while exchanging attacks with him. She had suffered severe injuries, yet she still continued fighting!
However, when Fang Yuan spoke, the caution within her eyes deepened, and there was no trace left of her earlier rage.
Immortal Killer Move — Heavenly Wrath Target!
A Heaven Path immortal killer move activated, causing tribulation clouds to surge above Star Constellation Immortal Venerable. This move used rank eight Immortal Investigation Gu, Immortal Suppression Gu, Immortal Heaven's Envy Gu, and Immortal Heaven's Wrath Gu.
This killer move had been created long ago, but after Fang Yuan obtained great grandmaster attainment in Heaven Path, he made major modifications to it. The power of the killer move increased several times over, and the calamities and tribulations it produced had reached the level of heavenly tribulations and grand tribulations!
The tribulations struck Star Constellation Immortal Venerable while Fang Yuan attacked fiercely, forcing her to retreat!
This was the first time Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had retreated! Inside Heavenly Court, she had been powerful enough to suppress three venerables, yet now she had to resist the tribulations while fighting Fang Yuan simultaneously.
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable gritted her teeth before shouting, "Genesis Lotus, are you still not taking action?!"
In the next moment, a super Gu formation activated. But this time, Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed into a frown. "This Gu formation is rank nine… it is undoubtedly using Derivation Immortal Gu, but it is not the Derivation Immortal Formation I know from Stealing Heavenly Secrets."
After becoming a great grandmaster in Formation Path and a quasi-supreme grandmaster in Wisdom Path, Fang Yuan could see through many things at a single glance. Combined with his profound Wisdom Path attainment, he was confident in unraveling the depths of this formation.
"Let's test it."
The phantom image of Dang Hun Mountain appeared above Fang Yuan's head, and soon, sound waves spread outward.
Ding—!
Ding—!
Ding—!
Pink soundwaves erupted and spread throughout the formation, but the only result was a slight tremble within the formation, without a single flaw appearing. "Something is wrong… it seems as though this formation uses Derivation Gu as its core, but that is not entirely correct. The Derivation Formation is merely a subsidiary formation, while this is the main formation, and it uses Heavenly Court itself as its foundation!"
Even Fang Yuan could not help but feel slightly shocked.
"Star Constellation, what a truly magnificent scheme, truly worthy of the number one Wisdom Path Immortal Venerable in history!"
Fang Yuan's voice echoed throughout the isolated space, yet Star Constellation could still hear him clearly.
The bright purple light within Star Constellation's eyes dimmed slightly. She had already been heavily injured after battling Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, Heaven Refining Demon Venerable, and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.
Now, only Fang Yuan and Spectral Soul remained trapped inside the formation, unable to do anything. Yet Star Constellation did not lower her guard against Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. Instead, she contacted him and said, "Giant Sun, withdraw from Central Continent and return to Northern Plains, and my Heavenly Court will forget what you have done. I swear it upon Heavenly Court's honor!"
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was still standing outside Heavenly Court, observing the situation within. When Fang Yuan and Spectral Soul became trapped inside the formation, he had wanted to attack, but the trembling of his luck warned him against doing so.
"Star Constellation, that is not impossible, but you should compensate me properly, shouldn't you?"
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable let out a cold snort and spoke in a threatening tone, "Giant Sun, you may try attacking Central Continent or entering Heavenly Court, but the consequences will reach your Northern Plains."
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable smiled bitterly. He had already given up and departed from Central Continent toward Northern Plains. It was not that he did not wish to try, but his luck had warned him against interfering. Furthermore, after using All Living Beings and Heaven and Earth twice along with Luck Bell, his luck had fallen to a dangerously low level, and his strength had weakened tremendously as well.
His combat system relied entirely upon his luck. If his luck was strong, his battle system would become terrifying. If his luck was weak, his battle system would become weak. Giant Sun had to conceal this weakness well, otherwise Star Constellation Immortal Venerable or the other Venerables would target him. Thus, Longevity Heaven was the safest place for him. Even if a Venerable arrived there, Giant Sun could still suppress them!
"Giant Sun's retreat means he has consumed a great amount of immortal essence."
Genesis Lotus's will spoke from within the gigantic vine body that supported heaven and earth.
This was the body of the immemorial legendary beast Qing Chou Zi. During the Fate War, Qing Chou Zi had been killed by Fang Yuan's Time Cutting Edge, but after Star Constellation Immortal Venerable extracted a portion of Genesis Lotus's will from Divine Emperor City, he managed to heal the injuries and take control of Qing Chou Zi's body.
With the rank nine immortal essence left behind by his main body, he could temporarily reach pseudo-venerable battle strength! Qing Chou Zi was a Space Path plant, and throughout the Venerable battle, Genesis Lotus's will had controlled its body to repair the holes within Heavenly Court.
Now, he used one of the methods left behind by his main body to deal with Fang Yuan!
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable nodded and spoke, "It is unfortunate that Fang Yuan slaughtered so many Immortal Gu Masters from Heavenly Court and the ten great ancient sects… Heavenly Court has suffered losses that cannot be recovered without thousands of years of accumulation, and we still have to make even greater sacrifices to kill a Demon Venerable."
Heavenly Court's current state was truly miserable. Nearly all the immortals from the ten great ancient sects and Heavenly Court had died, while the survivors were all on the verge of death. Only Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Genesis Lotus's will remained.
Genesis Lotus's will spoke indifferently, "All of this can be compensated. Even the dead can be revived within Divine Emperor City. But right now, we must deal with Fang Yuan… This formation uses Heavenly Court as nourishment and consumes its foundation in exchange for consuming the enemy's foundation equally. Without question, Heavenly Court cannot lose to Fang Yuan in terms of Dao marks. It will not be long before both he and Spectral Soul die!"
Inside the formation, green and yellow light covered Fang Yuan, attempting to gnaw away at his foundation. However, Fang Yuan maintained Heavenly Web Protection Veil, preventing the green and yellow light from eroding him except at an extremely slow pace.
"It will not be long before my immortal essence runs dry, and then it will become a battle of attrition between myself and the formation. That would not be favorable at all. Compared to Heavenly Court's foundation, I am still far behind."
Fang Yuan decided to deactivate Obscured Heavenly Secret, causing the aura of a rank nine immortal killer move to spread out immediately and attract the attention of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Genesis Lotus's will.
Genesis Lotus's will revealed a shocked expression, while Star Constellation Immortal Venerable was not surprised in the slightest.
"As expected, Fang Yuan truly refined a rank nine Immortal Gu, and judging from the amount of immortal essence he has displayed, he must possess at least three of them! He even already possesses a rank nine Heaven Path immortal killer move…"
"At that time, when I created the Derivation Formation in Heavenly Court and allowed Heaven's Will to spy upon it, it was both a trap and the truth at the same time… I could not prevent Heaven's Will from spying on the formation, but what if Fang Yuan wished to spy on the Derivation Formation through some strange Heaven Path methods?.. That would make Fang Yuan confident in understanding our trump cards, and in that case, we could give him a false sense of security through repeated losses before delivering a fatal blow through this formation."
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable was truly unfathomable.
"But it does not matter whether he possesses rank nine Immortal Gu or a rank nine killer move. Before Heavenly Court's foundation, he is still far too insignificant."
Star Constellation and Genesis Lotus's will entered the formation as it activated at full power.
