Just as Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was trapped within the Myriad Tribulation Earth Trench, something unexpected happened! He actually seized this opportunity to suddenly extend a thick and powerful arm, grabbing toward Wade as fast as lightning!
Faster than words can say, the immortal gu House Wade instantly activated a Killer Move—Invisibility! The tower's body suddenly became transparent, as if merging into the void, easily dodging Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's soul-stirring strike.
However, no one expected that this seemingly successful dodge was exactly what Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had planned! It turned out that when Wade turned invisible, one of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's three hideous and terrifying heads suddenly opened a pair of blood-red eyes, locking onto the illusory Wade before him.
In an instant, an invisible force gushed out from those blood-red eyes, directly enveloping Wade. No matter how Wade struggled and resisted, it was to no avail; it was as if a freezing Spell had been cast upon it, leaving it frozen in mid-air, unable to move! Not only that, even the invisibility state used earlier to dodge Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's attack could not be deactivated now.
The invisibility Killer Move, originally meant as a lifesaver, had now become a fatal shackle trapping the Heavenly Court immortals. Because it could not re-solidify its tower body, the powerful might contained within Wade naturally could not be exerted, and the entire situation immediately fell into a deadlock.
At this critical moment, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable seized the opportunity without hesitation and roared! His entire body emitted a dazzling, multicolored black light, which poured like a surging torrent into the magnificent Ten Extremes Immortal Zombie Life-Ending Formation below.
In an instant, the Thousand-Armed Giant, which had been towering into the clouds with a massive body and muscles like cast steel, began to undergo a startling change: its form withered at a speed difficult for the naked eye to track, as if all its life force had been drained; and those once thick and powerful arms turned into skin and bones in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the Ten Extremes Immortal Zombie Life-Ending Formation below seemed to be stimulated by some powerful force, and its completion rate soared once again!
Immediately after, everyone was shocked to find a giant sphere of light emitting a mysterious glow gradually emerging in the center of the formation.
With the appearance of the light sphere, the Ten Extremes Immortal Zombie Life-Ending Formation, which had tightly bound everything, suddenly lost its power to imprison the surrounding space—its terrifying restrictive ability disappeared into thin air just like that!
This sudden change left everyone present dumbfounded, but for Hei Lou Lan and the others trapped in a desperate situation, it was a glimmer of hope! Because now, as long as Fang Yuan could wake up, they could hope to use the immortal gu Fixed Immortal Travel to take everyone and escape this dead end.
This Myriad Tribulation Earth Trench was a calamity specifically descended upon Shadow Sect. Ying Wu Xie could only watch helplessly as Fang Yuan and the others fled into the distance; he tried desperately to break free from his restraints, but instead fell deeper in. Not only that, he could not even command the Gu Worms at this moment. In his helplessness, he could only place his hopes on his main body, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, to come to his rescue.
However, at this critical juncture, four ethereal Formless Hands slowly extended from the void! Like ghosts, they quickly entered the range of the Myriad Tribulation Earth Trench, accurately locking onto the four people including Fang Yuan who were fleeing, and seized them with lightning speed.
Faster than words can say, the moment those four Formless Hands touched the bodies of Fang Yuan's group, they seemed to perform some miraculous Spell, turning from phantoms into solid forms in the blink of an eye, firmly grasping their targets.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Formless Void Displacement Hand!"
Right before the eyes of Ying Wu Xie and Seven Stars Child, the four people including Fang Yuan vanished into thin air.
"Formless Hand! It's that bastard again!" Immortal Zombie Seven Stars Child roared with a face full of rage, his hideous and distorted features becoming even more terrifying due to his anger.
As one of the core figures of Shadow Sect, Immortal Zombie Seven Stars Child had a close connection with the other core split souls, allowing for information sharing. Therefore, when he saw the Formless Hand appear, he immediately guessed who the newcomer was—it was that Thieving Heaven Inheritor who had repeatedly ruined their plans and caused them heavy losses!
The existence of this Thieving Heaven Inheritor was simply a nightmare for Shadow Sect. First, he successfully thwarted Shadow Sect's attempt to seize the immortal valley house refining furnace, causing their carefully planned operation to fail completely; then he caused both the Blazing Glory Lightning Bash Immortal Zombie and the Bo Qing Immortal Zombie to go missing, which undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to Shadow Sect. One must know that the Bo Qing Immortal Zombie was a vital combat force for Shadow Sect. And the Blazing Glory Lightning Bash Immortal Zombie was an important component of this Ten Extremes Immortal Zombie Life-Ending Formation; if they hadn't planned for ten thousand years, they wouldn't even have backups for the Ten Extreme Physiques Immortal Zombies.
However, for the newly born Ying Wu Xie, these matters were unheard of. Although he already possessed Rank Eight cultivation, his understanding of the outside world was pitifully limited; after all, his lifespan was very short, and he only needed to assist Spectral Soul Demon Venerable in guarding this formation before he could die.
Hearing Seven Stars Child mention "that bastard" with such hatred, Ying Wu Xie couldn't help but feel curious: "That bastard? Just who is he?"
"He is an utterly detestable Thieving Heaven Inheritor! He inherited the vast majority of the Thieving Heaven True Inheritance, and even powerful Killer Moves like Formless Hand, Familiar Face, and Ghostly Concealment have fallen into his hands. He is very likely to disguise himself as one of us! So you must be extra careful!" Immortal Zombie Seven Stars Child shouted hurriedly with a panicked expression, seemingly very worried that this newly born split soul would be deceived.
Hearing this, Ying Wu Xie thought to himself: "No wonder Old Man Yanshi specifically instructed me before he died to beware of those around me... Now it seems it must be because of this so-called 'Familiar Face'?"
Although he did not know Liu Chen's true origin, he knew a thing or two about Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's Killer Moves. Now, upon Seven Stars Child's reminder, he immediately connected it to the last words left by Old Man Yanshi before his death.
"This is!" Hei Lou Lan was startled, feeling a flash of light before her eyes. She subconsciously raised her guard, her gaze quickly scanning the surroundings, but she did not detect anything unusual. She tightly gripped Fang Yuan, whom she was carrying, and without hesitation threw him toward Tai Bai Yun Sheng not far behind her. Then, with a flash of her body, she stood side-by-side with Fairy Li Shan, guarding the two of them in the middle.
Just then, a deep and magnetic voice suddenly rang out: "Not seeing you all for a few days, you actually dare to face the Heavenly Court and Spectral Soul Demon Venerable so boldly. I truly admire you!" Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw Liu Chen appear in mid-air like a ghost, then land steadily in front of them.
"So it is Fellow Daoist Wuming's arrival! To see your esteemed self today is truly our honor!" Seeing this, Fairy Li Shan revealed a look of joy and quickly bowed in greeting. Although they had been set up by Liu Chen several times before, facing such a savior now, all previous unpleasantness had long since vanished.
