Great Dream Immortal Venerable!
Her existence complicated matters severely.
The long-fated greatest Venerable in history, first deduced by Star Constellation Immortal Venerable all those years ago she was prophesied to be Heavenly Court's shining star and 4th Immortal King!
She was supposed to lead Heavenly Court to heights never before seen since Primordial Origin's time!
But that was all under the decree of Fate, while Feng Jiu Heng always had the potential to become Great Dream Immortal Venerable, it had never materialized.
In Fang Yuan's original timeline Great Dream Immortal Venerable was killed because of Spectral Soul's manipulation and Fang Yuan's own hands.
After the reset Fang Yuan repeatedly crushed Feng Jiu Huang's pride, causing her growth to be stunted, right now she was only a Rank 5 Gu Master!
With the destruction of Fate Gu, there was a huge uncertainty if Great Dream Immortal Venerable would ever come.
But now that a Rank 9 Dream Path Killer Move was headed their way…what else could it mean besides Great Dream Immortal Venerable?
"Dammit does this mean Heavenly Court succeeded in the future?" Giant Sun was worried as the power of Dream Path was truly untapped in this era, yet it already displayed such fearsome might.
Meanwhile, Genesis Lotus and Star Constellation had a different worry: "Is Feng Jiu Huang on Heavenly Court's side or on Red Lotus's side?"
Fang Yuan was the only one who was calmly analyzing the situation: "Hmm, the future has been fractured since the destruction of Fate Gu, there are no longer absolute certainties anymore, so this attack from 'Great Dream Immortal Venerable' might be from a future where Feng Jiu Huang succeeded or another person or…"
There were countless possibilities and not enough information.
While the Venerables knew the attack came from the future they could not pinpoint how far, the future is always surrounded by a thick fog that was hard to pierce through.
"But this at least confirms one thing, a Dream Path Venerable can come about!"
The 3 Venerables quickly put aside their thoughts as they focused on the important matter at hand, surviving.
8 Rank 9 Killer Moves were no joke.
And they were timed to come in succession rather than all at once, which made them both more deadly and more manageable.
Because they came one after the other, it left no room for them to cancel each other out, but at the same time, it also meant that they were easier to deal with since you only needed to deal with one at a time.
Though even then it was still challenging because Heaven had timed each move to hit right after the previous one.
It gave them a chance, but it was still a hard one to take advantage of.
No one in history had ever survived 8 Rank 9 Killer Moves back-to-back before.
"Here's the plan, on top of dealing with your own Killer Moves we should also deal with those we have an advantage in." Star Constellation began to explain: "For example, Fang Yuan has the best shot of dealing with both Red Lotus's Time Path and Great Dream's Dream Path, Giant Sun's Blood Path is the most effective, out of us all, at countering Paradise Earth and Genesis can counter Thieving Heaven's Theft Path."
The Venerable's tacitly agreed as although for anyone else 8 Rank 9 Killer Moves is akin to a death sentence, for Venerables it was more about the effort.
Sure, if they let 8 Rank 9 Killer Moves hit them they would suffer but which Venerable would let that happen?
The plan was put into motion,
The first move approaching was Red Lotus's Immortal Killer Move.
As Fang Yuan stepped forward to stop it he noticed something,
"Something's not right…"
As he investigated the Killer Move, it then vanished!
!?!?
The 4 Venerables were confused.
Fang Yuan was puzzled by what had happened and the other 3 thought Fang Yuan had something to do with it.
"Something's not right I can feel it…"
Fang Yuan's Time Path attainment was Quasi-Supreme after all, so Time Path could be considered his 2nd strongest Path.
He stepped aside to deduce for a bit as Genesis Lotus stepped forward to dispel his own Killer Move.
Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's Immortal Killer Move, Steal Dao, was especially tricky to deal with.
It could steal almost any Dao Mark in the world!
But Genesis Lotus's Painting Path was actually a good counter to this,
Immortal Killer Move ------- Formless World.
A beautiful scenery sprung forth amidst the River of Time, it contained trees, animals, and even people!
The scene depicted a beautiful small kingdom that was full of mortal cultivators.
It was incredibly lifelike, there were people talking, laughing, singing, and just living life, there was joy and struggle, the world even had Dao Marks of various paths!
Truly, it seemed as if a mini world was created.
Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's Steal Dao soon ravaged through the world and stole all of its Dao Marks!
Its Wood, Light, Water, Earth, Human, Soul, etc were all stolen away and turned into raw Dao Marks!
The morbid scene would truly scare anyone in the Gu World as before Venerable might they really were nothing more than ants or numbers to them.
Even Humans could be reduced into mere Dao Marks to be used.
But as the world was ravaged, it all suddenly turned black, like ink, and was washed away, as if that world never existed.
Giant Sun and Fang Yuan watched it all with deep intrigued.
"To be able to create Dao Marks so realistic it even fooled Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, truly Painting Path contains deep profundities." Giant Sun thought to himself.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan had thoroughly analyzed Genesis Lotus's method and was quite stunned:
"Interesting, I sensed no Painting Gu aura, but I did sense the aura of hundred of other Gus from varying Paths although most were Mortal."
Fang Yuan saved that thought for later as he was still being bugged by Red Lotus's Killer Move:
"Just what happened with that Move? Is it going to strike in the future? No. I can sense that no Time Path Dao Marks from that Move remained. Was it taken away by Red Lotus? It's possible but I sensed no disturbance that would have occurred if took the Move away…which leads me to believe that this is part of the Move's effect! But what??"
As Fang Yuan was deducing, Giant Sun stepped up to block his own Killer Move.
Things were going smoothly when all of a sudden it clicked in Fang Yuan's head.
"Shit!"
He immediately activated Dream armor Gu.
Seeing this both Genesis Lotus and Star Constellation grew warry and also activated their own defenses.
The only one who didn't manage to react was Giant Sun.
Immortal Killer Move --------- Eternal Slumber!
From the center of where the 4 Venerables stood, a deep pink color smoke spread out and consumed them.
!!!
"Tch, Red Lotus truly a schemer,"
According to the flow of how the Killer Moves were preceding Great Dream Immortal Venerable was supposed to be the last Move.
But Red Lotus's Killer Move was actually a Rank 9, Support From The Future, which brought forward Great Dream Immortal Venerable's Killer Move, Eternal Slumber!
This messed with the plan, fortunately, Fang Yuan reacted in time and was able to resist, although barely.
"Rank 7 Dream armor Gu is too weak!" Fang Yuan sighed.
It was not that he didn't want to advance it, but that Dream Path materials were so rare that even if you had the money nobody would sell it!
Fortunately for Fang Yuan, Strong Gu could make up for the difference but at the cost of Immortal Essence, which Fang Yuan was not lacking thanks to Rank 9 Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus.
In fact, this could even be considered a blessing as the Pink Fog was made of pure Dream Path and would block all other Paths.
It was impossible for Star Constellation, Genesis Lotus, and Giant Sun to detect what he was doing.
"Hmm, speaking of Giant Sun he was the only one that did not manage to put up a defense I wonder what happened?"
Giant Sun was floating lifelessly among the Pink Fog.
From afar one would think he was dead, but in reality, he was deep asleep.
He managed to block his own move before being hit by Eternal Slumber, which actually could be a slight blessing as the following Rank 9 moves were all blocked by Eternal Slumber.
In his Dream, Giant Sun was reliving every facet of his life, all the good and bad moments, his highs and lows, every breakthrough and setback experience.
Meanwhile, inside the Stone Continent,
Feng Jiu Huang was sound asleep.
But while her body was sleeping, she was exploring Dreams to raise her attainment levels.
The Dreams she encountered were always random and could be of anyone at any time.
Today, she began to relive the life of a Northern Plainsman.
"Hmm? This person is actually a Luck Path cultivator? The time period seems to be near the end of the Medieval Antiquity Era."
Feng Jiu Huang was trying to see if she could piece together this Gu Immortal's identity which could help her in her journey through the Dream Realm.
But she couldn't find any in her memory, after all, Luck Path was already exceedingly rare in the Current Era, much less the Medieval Antiquity Era.
"The only prominent Luck Path cultivator at this time would be Giant Sun Immortal Venerable! Could I be one of his children?"
Feng Jiu Huang then investigated what Gu she possessed, she had an assortment of Rank 5 Gus, with only 1 Rank 6 Luck Path Gu, Dog Shit Luck Gu!
"Hmm, this is my Vital Gu? What Luck Path Gu is this?"
Feng Jiu Huang began investigating the Gu, it resembled a dung beetle and had a golden yellow body, its body had 3 segments, head, body, and tail.
Its head was like a crescent shovel, its stomach had a horizontal ridge, and its tail was oval-shaped.
Feng Jiu Huang did not know that only 1 person had Dog Shit Luck Gu as their vital Gu.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable!
Happy New Years !!!!
