Immortal Killer Move ---------- Out Of Time!
Fang Yuan's view began to distort, and Space and Time were being cut in front of his face.
Crystal-like shatter patterns began to form and encircle him.
Fang Yuan squinted his eyes: "Hmm?"
As soon as the shattering sphere completely encircled him, it faded into the background.
One could no longer see the outline of the sphere.
"Is that it? A Time prison?" Fang Yuan scoffed.
His scoff was met with a pitch-black blade, hurtling towards him.
Fang Yan caught the blade between his index and middle finger, crushing it to dust with a thought.
He turned in the direction of the sword and found Red Lotus Demon Venerable standing with his hands behind his back.
But Red Lotus Demon Venerable was no longer an illusory figure, he was fully fleshed out!
"Oh? Brought out your true body for this fight?"
But Red Lotus chuckled: "Not exactly."
Red Lotus released his aura.
Rank 9!
"Hmm? You've regained your Venerables status?" Fang Yuan was intrigued, he could tell that it was not a trick nor half-assed, it was genuine Rank 9 cultivation!
Suddenly, Fang Yuan made a 180 turn and waved his hands.
The cascade of Starlight hurtling toward him was swatted away!
"Tch!" a loud click was heard.
"Hmph! So, you brought company," Fang Yuan turned to see a woman with long silky hair and fire in her eyes.
It was Star Constellation Immortal Venerable!
Fang Yuan cracked his neck: "2 on 1? Easy."
But he soon frowned as he looked up at a colossal chunk of earth barreling down towards him.
Fang Yuan shot his fist upward, the force completely decimating the giant meteor.
"Genesis Lotus as well?" Fang Yuan was now slightly puzzled:
He thought to himself: "They left Giant Sun to his own devices? Impossible. Even if Time was slowed down it would be incredibly risky but from my senses, the flow of Time has not been…affected!?"
Red Lotus spoke up: "It seems you've noticed the predicament you're in, you see while your Killer Move, The Cycle of Life Continues, speeds up a selected area's time, my Killer Move, Out Of Time, completely displaces the victim!"
"You are literally in a mini pocket dimension, whose Time is running on a diverted flow of the Main River of Time!"
"I'm sure you've also noticed how Star Constellation; Genesis Lotus and I have our peak strength! That is because I have pulled our past selves at their peak into the present!"
Fang Yuan's jaw dropped: "Hmph! For all your preaching about caring for Humanity, you sure are willing to endanger it! Even someone with no attainment in Time Path will tell you that messing with the past is a huge Taboo! You could rip Space and Time into oblivion."
But instead of being worried Red Lotus laughed:
"This is called a void sphere, capable of withstanding the pressure of being outside of Time and Space. Any being in it is separated from their Timeline, I diverted the Main timeline and their timeline into this sphere creating an entirely new branch! But as long as we're within this sphere we 'technically' do not exist. It won't affect the main timeline at all."
"And I assure you your death will be far worse than dying in the Gu World, your body will be left in your main timeline, but your Soul will forever be lost outside of Time and Space! You will never be able to enter the cycle of Reincarnation and will stay a wandering ghost!"
Red Lotus cackled, he turned to observe Fang Yuan's expression of horror and resignation but instead…
"He Hehe."
"Hmm? Have you gone mad from despair?" Red Lotus got a bad feeling from Fang Yuan's laughter.
"HAHAHA HAHAHA" Fang Yuan's laughter grew.
Red Lotus frowned: "Silence this fool now."
Immortal Killer Move ---------- Eternal Night Sword!
Immortal Killer Move ---------- Endless Cascading Stars
Immortal Killer Move ---------- Planet Befall!
A barrage of Pitch Black swords was sent hurtling towards Fang Yuan from the front while a swarm of cascading Stars blocked Fang Yuan's escape from the back.
To top it off a planet-size chunk of earth was crashing down on him from above.
3 Rank 9 Killer Moves sealed all routes of escape for Fang Yuan!
"Hmph!"
Immortal Killer Move ----------- I Exceed The Heavenly Dao!
The Dharmic Wheel behind Fang Yuan began to leave him and fly high above, decimating the Planet Befall!
Instantly, the Dharmic wheel reaches an elevation of 1000 meters and rapidly expanded to cover the entire Void Sphere.
Various paths could be seen reflected in the Dharmic Wheel with their corresponding Gu, For example, Time Path resembled a brilliant blue Diamond with Gu such as Years Flowing Like Water, Day, Month, Year, Spring Autumn Cicada etc.… the size of these paths varied based on the number and quality of the Gus as well as the level of attainment Fang Yuan possessed
At the centre was Heaven Path with Rank 9 Heavenly Web Gu at its core, stretching from the centre, various lines of Heaven Path Dao Marks could be seen connecting to the myriad Paths.
"W…what is this." Red Lotus was shocked by the scene displayed.
But what happened next, shook him to his core.
As the cascade of starlight and neigh pitch-black swords approach Fang Yuan, they were stopped, mere inches from Fang Yuan, by an invisible force and rapidly absorbed into the Dharmic Wheel!
"Hehehe watch this." Fang Yuan flipped his palms, correspondingly, the entire Dharmic Wheel spun to life.
The various mini-worlds and formations in the Dharmic Wheel began to produce a rhythmic hum.
"This sound…" Red Lotus felt his heart grow anxious, his pulse quickening.
It was as if he could hear a heartbeat of a beast, a beast whose mere heartbeat could destroy worlds.
"It seems you notice it eh Red Lotus,"
Red Lotus spun around to find Fang Yuan standing right behind him: "How did you,"
In the next moment Fang Yuan was right before him:
"I must give you props, this Void Sphere of yours is ingenious, a perfect blend of Space and Time, to be able to create and isolate a separate Timeline just to lay a trap bravo." Fang Yuan gave a slow clap.
"However, it seems that the move is not quite complete, the 'Star Constellation' and 'Genesis Lotus' you have before you may be from their peak in life, but they clearly feel distant and lifeless, almost as if they were…soulless."
!!!
Red Lotus Demon Venerable was once considered a genius of an era, a talent only found every Million years, even amongst Venerables, but at that very moment, he witnessed the difference between Fang Yuan and himself.
Red Lotus sighed to himself: "Primordial you were right, but I still don't regret my choice."
"You are right, they are merely automatons that run on the memories, and some Will it's a safety measure in the event you kill one of us, it will not affect the main body."
Fang Yuan smirked: "And that's your biggest mistake, since you only have a Will remaining you are able to transport your present self into your past body but the other 2 can't as they will have to transport their souls or control the body."
"I can sense that the flow of time in this world mirrors that of the real world because you can't alter the speed at which the River of Time flows for 4 separate Timelines!"
!!!
This was another secret Red Lotus was trying to hide from Fang Yuan.
Knowing that the rate of time was the same meant that every second Fang Yuan lived here was a second where Giant Sun could help him escape.
If the flow of time was slower it would take much longer, to Fang Yuan's perspective, for Giant Sun to help him break free.
Thus, Red Lotus wanted to keep this news away from Fang Yuan, so that he would desperately try to escape.
"One more thing," Fang Yuan turned his back towards Red Lotus:
Fang Yuan snapped his fingers.
*Snap*
The entire Dharmic Wheel shone with the light of the Various Paths, the sound of Dao could be here whirling as the wheel began turning.
At first, the wheel spun slowly and roughly, but as it accelerated it became smoother and faster!
The many different lights began to blend into a mix of white and black!
Once the wheel reached its maximum speed, all the colours and Paths blended to form a Giant Yin-Yang symbol in the sky.
"Since you only brought Wills that are not directly connected to the real world into this Void Sphere, none of these secrets will be revealed once you are all dead."
"Goodbye, and thank you Red Lotus Demon Venerable."
The Dharmic Yin-Yang Wheel began exerting a pulling force on the 3 Venerables, as the force pulled, they felt as if they were in a giant centrifuge as their Dao Marks were slowly being stepped off their very skin!
"ARGGH" Red Lotus roared in pain, he could feel the Time Path Dao Marks that make up his body, be forcefully extracted one by one.
Red Lotus tried to fight it, but he was tightly bounded by invisible threads of Heaven Path Dao Marks.
A similar scene took place for the other 3 Venerables as well.
Red Lotus grunted in pain as he racked his brain for solutions.
Just then, a single leaf fell onto the Dharmic Yin-Yang Wheel causing the whole thing to instantly stop!
This released Red Lotus, Genesis Lotus and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable.
Fang Yuan still held his eyes closed: "Couldn't resist it anymore? I knew you wouldn't have died so easily."
As soon as Fang Yuan said that two men could be seen descending from above the Dharmic Yin-Yang Wheel.
They were both floating on clouds, the first man had beards that resembled shifting clouds and he carried himself with the bearing of a scholar.
The second man was gentle and poised, he had long black hair, he wore light clothing and resembled a traveller, the man's eyes were filled with compassion for all those around him.
In-between, the second man's fingers were leaves that he casually blew away.
"Hmph, you both should have stayed dead, Primordial Origin and Paradise Earth."
Sorry for the lack of chapters these past 2 days I've been dealing with a lot of stuff, because of work, and the fact that it is Chinese New Year.
I wanted to write and update but didn't even have time to do that. But after this week I should be free from all this nonsense and can focus on making chapters!
