Just at this moment, in the Southern Border region, which should have been scorching hot and blazing with the sun, the temperature suddenly plummeted, becoming as bone-chillingly cold as if falling into an ice cellar.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky and fierce winds howled. In the blink of an eye, snow filled the heavens. Goose-feather-like snowflakes fluttered down, converging into countless white hands dancing in the air.
At the same time, Ying Wu Xie's gaze suddenly became exceptionally grave. He stared fixedly at the Spectral Soul Demon Venerable before him, a flash of determination in his eyes. He suddenly thrust out both hands, and a powerful force erupted, directly targeting the arm that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was reaching towards the supreme immortal fetus valley, while simultaneously activating a Dream Dao Immortal Path Killer Move.
"Immortal Path Killer Move — Lead Soul Into Dream!"
In the blink of an eye, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was enveloped by this mysterious light, and his entire being fell into a dream state.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan's soul flew out from Ying Wu Xie's body, heading straight towards the rank nine supreme immortal fetus valley and merging into it.
Not long after Liu Chen successfully rescued Fang Yuan and the others, Heavenly Court was locked in a thrilling battle against Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!
Suddenly, a furious roar was heard: "Heaven's Will!" The sound was deafening, as if it would pierce through the clouds. Following this, an unexpected event occurred—Fang Yuan, who had been in a coma, suddenly woke up from his dream without warning and launched a fierce attack on Tai Bai Yun Sheng, who was beside him, with lightning speed.
Fang Yuan showed no mercy. Without a word, he shoved Tai Bai Yun Sheng violently into the Star Gate and, at the same time, destroyed this crucial Star Gate.
"Junior Brother! You... what are you doing?" Faced with such a sudden turn of events, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was stunned, completely bewildered. He truly could not understand why Fang Yuan, who was always gentle and honest, would suddenly act like a different person and attack him.
By the time Tai Bai Yun Sheng regained his senses, he realized he was already in a Wisdom Path blessed land in Northern Plains. It was too late to change anything now, as the Star Gate connecting the North and South had been destroyed, and naturally, he had no opportunity to ask in person what had happened.
However, this place was far from the Ten Extremes Immortal Zombie Life-Ending Formation. Fang Yuan did not hesitate to drive his movement Gu Worms and sped off in that direction, as if he had no intention of stopping to explain anything.
At this moment, Fixed Immortal Travel had already been retrieved by Liu Chen, and Fang Yuan himself was not carrying any movement immortal gu. Faced with such a dilemma, if he wanted to immediately rush back to the original location to help his main body, he had no choice but to use ordinary mortal gu. But this was clearly insufficient to allow him to reach his destination quickly.
"Could it be... soul swapping?" Gazing at the Fang Yuan before him, whose temperament had changed drastically, as if he were a different person, Liu Chen speculated inwardly. He could basically deduce what had happened.
He actually did not have much interest in the so-called supreme immortal fetus valley; what truly concerned him was the complete Otherworldly Demon—only it possessed the powerful strength sufficient to destroy Fate Gu. The current Fang Yuan had undoubtedly become an important chess piece in the meticulous layout of several venerables, a matter not easily meddled in by Liu Chen.
However, although the supreme immortal fetus valley ultimately did not fall into his hands, the profound foundation that Shadow Sect had accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years was equally not to be underestimated. And the Fang Yuan standing before him at this moment was, in essence, that mysterious and unpredictable Ying Wu Xie! He was simply a mobile treasure mountain.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Formless Flying Hand Snow!"
This was a Theft Path Killer Move unleashed with all of Liu Chen's strength! This technique was his proudest work, refined after repeated deliberation, and could be said to be the strongest Theft Path Killer Move he had mastered to date.
In an instant, fierce winds howled in the sky, and goose-feather-like snow fluttered down. These snowflakes were not ordinary objects, but vivid, palm-shaped forms, dancing and circling in the air as if they possessed life.
Their target covered the entire Yi Tian Mountain, which was Fang Yuan, who was desperately sprinting in flight! At this moment, Fang Yuan was like a frightened bird, appearing extremely disheveled under the encirclement of the flying snow.
"Damned Thieving Heaven Inheritor! Damn it..." Fang Yuan cursed inwardly, but was helpless. Although he was currently occupying Fang Yuan's Physical Body, the one actually controlling the body was Ying Wu Xie. Because he knew nothing about the Gu Worms inside, Ying Wu Xie was unable to activate any Killer Move.
Watching more and more palm-shaped flying snow pouncing toward him, Ying Wu Xie was burning with anxiety. One must know, the fruits of the plan they had painstakingly cultivated for tens of thousands of years were being lost to someone else just like that; it was hard for anyone to accept such a cruel reality. However, the situation was critical, and he could not afford any hesitation or retreat.
Having been forced to use spring autumn cicada for Rebirth, attempting to turn the situation around, Ying Wu Xie had failed to achieve his wish—no matter where he went, he could not avoid the arrival of bad luck: if he rushed to where his main body was, he would be intercepted by Fang Yuan for his Gu Worms; and if he continued to linger here, he could not escape the attack of that Thieving Heaven Inheritor.
"Wait... what is this?" Just at this moment, Ying Wu Xie seemed to suddenly perceive some strange aura. A bizarre light erupted from his body, wrapping tightly around him like a layer of transparent gauze.
In an instant, jaw-dropping events followed one after another—the body that originally belonged to the Eight-Armed Immortal Zombie began to undergo a miraculous mutation. A layer of fine, silver-glimmering fur appeared all over his body, and in the blink of an eye, he had completely transformed into a massive, imposing Ancient Desolate Beast: the Thousand-Face Demon Ape!
"What kind of Killer Move is this? Fang Yuan actually possesses such inconceivable Transformation Path methods?" Faced with this sudden turn of events, Liu Chen could not help but be stunned.
However, despite his internal shock, the Flying Hand Snow continued to ceaselessly steal one immortal gu after another from Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
However, no matter how hard the immortal gu tried to steal, it seemed unable to hinder Ying Wu Xie's actions. A shocking scene appeared: the originally mighty Thousand-Face Demon Ape suddenly underwent another mutation, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into the appearance of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable! A massive figure with three heads and thousands of arms appeared before everyone's eyes. However, compared to the real Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, this giant transformed by Ying Wu Xie was only about one-tenth the size of the original.
"This... what is going on?" Even Liu Chen himself had not expected that, with things having developed to this point, Ying Wu Xie would still have such a powerful move available.
"Hahahaha! Die!" With a furious roar, Ying Wu Xie, transformed into Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, had his three faces laughing wildly at the sky simultaneously.
Following this, his thousands of thick, powerful arms grabbed fiercely towards the sky, as if he were going to tear the entire firmament apart. And at this moment, the wall of flying snow suspended in the sky was truly as fragile as paper, and in an instant, it was easily torn open by Ying Wu Xie, creating a gap.
Although the immortal gu were being plundered one after another, this did not weaken Ying Wu Xie's combat power in the slightest.
The terrifying strength erupting at this moment made even Liu Chen feel astonished. What was even more unexpected was that the Totem Killer Move unleashed this time did not rely on the power of Gu Worms, but entirely on the totem dao marks engraved on the Gu Immortal's body.
