"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Two ear-piercing screams of agony echoed in the air, as if they could shatter eardrums. Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan were simultaneously tormented by this sudden, intense pain. Their Souls felt as if they were being pierced by a thousand needles at once, causing unbearable suffering.
Stimulated by this excruciating pain, Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan finally awoke from the bizarre dream. Cold sweat drenched their foreheads, and their bodies trembled slightly from the agony.
Fang Yuan, as if waking from a dream, still had some Vague fragments of the dream lingering in his mind, but at this moment, he couldn't spare a thought for them. He endured the intense pain, activated the True Essence within his body, and fully unleashed his Reversal Bat Wings.
As he activated them, the pair of enormous bat wings suddenly unfurled, each beat stirring up a gust of wind. Fang Yuan tightly clutched Hei Lou Lan, and like a cannonball, he sped directly towards the Star Hall.
Hei Lou Lan, however, was in a bad state. Her head throbbed as if it were about to explode. She struggled to open her eyes, but the sight before her left her feeling disoriented. She hadn't fully recovered from the dream and could only let Fang Yuan hold her, dragging her along like a rag doll.
"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Wuming, for your assistance!" When Fang Yuan saw Liu Chen standing outside the Star Hall, his heart swelled with joy. He had been trapped in the dream, and his Immortal Zombie body was almost unresponsive to pain. It was Liu Chen who had used some kind of excruciating Killer Move to awaken them from that terrifying dream.
"A dream? Was that actually the legendary dream of the Human Ancestor? Is Star Constellation Immortal Venerable real too?" After recovering some of her senses, Hei Lou Lan suddenly realized something. Her eyes widened, and she spoke with a face full of astonishment.
However, before she could figure out the reason behind it, she felt as if her body was about to be crushed. It turned out that Fang Yuan, in his haste to escape, had embraced her tightly, and the immense strength of his Immortal Zombie body was a bit too much for Hei Lou Lan to bear.
"Let go of me!" Hei Lou Lan finally couldn't endure it anymore. She used all her strength to break free from Fang Yuan's embrace. Then, she took a deep breath, composed herself, and said to Liu Chen, "Fellow Daoist Wuming, I owe you my life this time. I will definitely repay you in the future."
"I am also greatly relieved that the two of you were able to escape successfully!" Wuming's face showed delight, seemingly pleased by their escape, but he had other plans in his heart. He deliberately feigned ignorance and asked Hei Lou Lan, "The Star Constellation Immortal Venerable you mentioned, could it be..."
Seeing Wuming's question, Hei Lou Lan honestly replied, "As soon as we entered this Star Hall, we saw the figure of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable. The aura of that Rank Nine Venerable was simply too powerful, so much so that I couldn't Move at all, let alone investigate the situation. I'm also not too clear about the dream or anything."
Liu Chen listened to Hei Lou Lan's words, nodded thoughtfully, and then turned to Fang Yuan, asking, "Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan, do you have anything to add regarding the dream of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable?"
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then replied, "Within this dream, the Rank Eight Immortal Zombie Seven Star Child, who is also the master of this Starry Sky Grotto-heaven, is trapped. No wonder we never saw the Heaven Spirit of this Grotto-heaven. It's my first time seeing a dream manifest externally. I've only heard that if one falls into a dream, they can be awakened by pain."
Upon hearing this, a look of sudden realization flashed in Liu Chen's eyes.
Then Liu Chen's gaze fell upon Myriad Stars Lord.
"This guy's Luck is really bad!" Liu Chen couldn't help but exclaim.
He activated his Killer Move—Luck Observation, which allowed him to observe others' Luck. Liu Chen focused his gaze, and Myriad Stars Lord's manifest Luck was a dim, faint star, a world apart from his own brilliant Luck, which resembled a soaring Sword Qi. The difference was more than a hundred thousand li!
However, Liu Chen did not underestimate Myriad Stars Lord because of this. After all, even this slightly dim Luck was still much stronger than that of an ordinary Mortal.
"Hmm, although it's only a little, it's better than nothing," Liu Chen commented on Myriad Stars Lord's manifest Luck.
Immediately after, he unhesitatingly activated another Immortal Path Killer Move—Luck Plunder. This Move possessed immense power, capable of plundering others' good Luck and making it his own.
Liu Chen's formless attack struck Myriad Stars Lord's manifest Luck.
In an instant, the already dim star became even more lifeless, as if it had lost all vitality and vigor.
Immediately after, he unhesitatingly turned his head to face the two people who had just woken from the dream and said, "Then, this Star Dao Gu Immortal is mine."
Before his words faded, Liu Chen immediately unleashed his Immortal Path Killer Move—Formless Hand.
In an instant, countless illusory large hands, like hungry wolves, bared their fangs and claws, pouncing towards Myriad Stars Lord's body. These illusory hands were incredibly fast, swift as lightning, giving no time for anyone to react.
Myriad Stars Lord's body was completely pierced by these illusory large hands. Since he was deeply trapped in the dream, having lost his perception of reality and ability to resist, he could only watch helplessly as his body was wantonly ravaged by these large hands.
And just then, an astonishing scene unfolded. Large numbers of Gu worms were continuously grabbed out of Myriad Stars Lord's immortal aperture by clenched fists, flying directly into Liu Chen's immortal aperture.
Not only that, but three Immortal Gu were also forcibly grabbed out of Myriad Stars Lord's body by the Formless Hand, under the influence of this power, and landed steadily in Liu Chen's hands.
"Immortal Gu!"
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan cried out in unison. Their eyes widened, and they stared at the Immortal Gu in Liu Chen's hands with faces full of astonishment, clearly finding it unbelievable that he had obtained Immortal Gu so easily.
However, despite their intense desire for the Immortal Gu, due to Liu Chen having just saved their lives, no matter how much they wanted to obtain these Immortal Gu, they couldn't bring themselves to snatch them. They could only stand helplessly by, watching as Liu Chen collected the Immortal Gu into his possession.
As Myriad Stars Lord's Luck plummeted like a free fall, this was merely the beginning. Only when the last Immortal Gu was mercilessly snatched from his body by the Formless Hand did it seize his vital Immortal Gu.
The moment Myriad Stars Lord's vital Gu was taken, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his entire being as if struck by lightning.
