"My Immortal Gu!"
Myriad Stars Lord awoke from his dream, his first thought to sense the Immortal Gu within his body.
However, after inspecting his immortal aperture, he was horrified to find that not a single one of the three Immortal Gu that should have been there remained. Even the ordinary mortal Gu were scarce, with only a few low-Rank, Second Rank mortal Gu left.
This discovery, like a basin of ice-cold water poured over his head, plunged Myriad Stars Lord's heart into an icy abyss. He couldn't believe the reality before him, as if he had fallen into a nightmare even more terrifying than before, a nightmare from which he might never wake.
"It's you!"
Myriad Stars Lord's gaze slowly turned towards the outside of the Star Hall. When he saw Liu Chen and the other two, he was first stunned, then overwhelmed by an uncontrollable rage. His eyes bulged, almost tearing open, his face contorted with ferocity and hatred.
"Killer Move: Myriad Stars Piercing Heart!" Myriad Stars Lord's expression was solemn. His eyes fixed on the enemies before him, he unhesitatingly activated his Killer Move.
With his furious roar, Myriad Stars Lord disregarded his own consumption, activating all the Star Dao Gu worms in his immortal aperture at once. These Gu worms, under his control, shot out like meteors.
In an instant, countless arrows of starlight rained down, covering the sky and ground, shooting out in all directions with astonishing speed.
However, despite the immense power of this attack, the Rank of the remaining Gu worms in Myriad Stars Lord's immortal aperture was not high, only First Rank and Second Rank. Their power remained limited.
When these starlight arrows struck Liu Chen and the others, they only made faint sounds, unable to even tear their clothes, let alone cause any substantial damage to Liu Chen and the others.
However, it was precisely because of this attack that the dreamscape within the Star Hall shattered like a mirror, and the Immortal Zombie Seven Star Child was also startled awake.
"Who is it! Who dares to disturb my sweet dream!" Accompanied by a deafening roar, the terrifyingly grim-faced Rank Eight Immortal Zombie Seven Star Child appeared in the Star Hall like a ghost. His blood-red eyes stared intently at the roaring Myriad Stars Lord, and without a word, he kicked Myriad Stars Lord fiercely.
"Damn little bug!" Seven Star Child cursed, seething with rage.
Poor Myriad Stars Lord, having lost all Gu protection, was utterly unable to withstand such a powerful kick. With a muffled "thud," Myriad Stars Lord's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the wall before bouncing to the ground. His abdomen was instantly blown apart, blood and flesh splattering everywhere, a gruesome sight. His broken body parts were scattered, with most of them falling in front of Liu Chen.
"Give it back to me!"
Myriad Stars Lord uttered these three words with difficulty before he died.
"What great Luck!" Liu Chen rejoiced inwardly.
He had long anticipated such an outcome, so he acted decisively, quickly scooping up Myriad Stars Lord's remains. The treasure chest on Myriad Stars Lord's body was also taken into the System.
He unhesitatingly activated various Gu worms, sending them into Myriad Stars Lord's immortal aperture to seal it as quickly as possible. With ample preparation, Liu Chen soon collected Myriad Stars Lord's immortal aperture.
After completing all of this, Liu Chen dared not delay in the slightest. He immediately transformed into a sword light, speeding out of the Star Hall like lightning.
At the same time, Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan also reacted quickly, flying out of the Star Hall like shooting stars chasing the moon.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Star Ripple Giant Pillar!"
With a furious roar from Seven Star Child, an immense pillar of light shot towards the three of them like a meteor. This pillar of light was like a roaring Dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it lunged at its targets, tearing the space apart wherever it passed.
Facing such a fierce attack, the three of them showed no fear, each displaying their full abilities to dodge. Some dodged sideways like ghosts, some soared into the air like birds, while others sped diagonally with astonishing speed.
"This Immortal Zombie's Luck is actually so vast!"
Liu Chen exclaimed inwardly. He immediately activated his Luck-observing Killer Move, carefully examining the Luck above the Immortal Zombie Seven Star Child's head. He saw that the Luck was arranged neatly like the Big Dipper, its starlight brilliant and dazzling.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Intercept Luck!"
Liu Chen seized the opportunity and unhesitatingly launched a Killer Move at Seven Star Child. The invisible Luck Dao Immortal Path Killer Move accurately struck Seven Star Child's Luck.
Instantly, a portion of Seven Star Child's Luck was diminished, and this portion of Luck, as if attracted by a magnet, continuously gathered onto Liu Chen's body.
"Fellow Daoists, let's go there!" Liu Chen decided instantly, transmitting his voice to Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan, and quickly pointing his finger at the rolling stone battlefield in the sky.
"Good!" Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan were both extremely intelligent individuals and understood Liu Chen's intention immediately. Without another word, the three of them flashed, like three bolts of lightning, and sped directly towards the rolling stone battlefield above the Starry Sky Grotto-heaven.
Just then, the Immortal Zombie Seven Star Child shot out of the Star Hall like a cannonball. His gaze was like a torch, instantly spotting the direction Liu Chen and the other two were headed, especially attracted by that rolling stone battlefield.
Compared to the rolling stone battlefield suspended high above the Grotto-heaven, Liu Chen and the other two were merely a drop in the ocean, inconspicuous.
The Immortal Zombie Seven Star Child immediately gave up on Liu Chen and the other two, and instantly launched an Immortal Path Killer Move at the rolling stone battlefield.
"Killer Move: Sword Come!"
With Liu Chen's furious roar, his Killer Move was activated. Blood-colored longswords, originally hidden within the Grotto-heaven, whistled through the air as if summoned. These longswords intertwined in the sky, forming a blood-red stream of light, carrying a thick scent of blood, and gathered around Liu Chen.
These Rank Five Blood Path Sword Embryo Gu, carrying the blood of desolate beasts, were all thrown into Liu Chen's immortal aperture.
"Fellow Daoist Wuming, this move is truly exquisite!" Fang Yuan, who was beside him, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Even with his five hundred years of experience, he could see that these Blood Path Sword Gu were extraordinary.
These Blood Path Sword Gu were not part of the Blood Sea True Inheritance; they must have been developed by some exceptionally talented individual.
Liu Chen smiled faintly and replied, "Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan, you flatter me. The current situation is no longer one where we can easily fish in troubled waters. I shall take my leave first."
With that, Liu Chen unhesitatingly transformed into a stream of light, activating Fixed Immortal Travel (pseudo), and instantly vanished from his original spot.
Fang Yuan also had Hei Lou Lan enter his dead immortal aperture, and then activated Fixed Immortal Travel to return to Fox Immortal Blessed Land.
As for Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei, even with all his abilities, he was no match for the Rank Eight Immortal Zombie Seven Star Child. He was forced to use his School's rescue token but also saw the Immortal Zombie Fang Yuan leaving using Fixed Immortal Travel, and that all his spoils of war had actually been taken by others.
