Everyone was silent.

Even for Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, after seeing Limitless Demon Venerable's intact arm, they fell into extreme shock.

After a Gu cultivator became an immortal, they would face earthly calamities, heavenly tribulations, grand tribulations, and myriad tribulations. After becoming rank nine, the calamities and tribulations would become even more terrifying.

Venerables faced a grand tribulation every ten years, a myriad tribulation every fifty years, and a chaotic disaster every one hundred years!

This chaotic disaster originated from the chaos outside the world boundary.

Each time it arrived, the venerable's life would be in danger, they had to use their full strength to fight for a chance of survival.

Ordinary Gu Immortals did not know this, but all the past venerables had gone through these terrifying chaotic disasters, they knew about the terror of this tribulation.

And now, Limitless Demon Venerable tested it with his own body, without even using any defensive methods, he resisted the chaos and returned unharmed!!!

This scene was a huge shock to the present venerables.

As for people like Fang Yuan who knew the details while not having experienced them personally, his shock was not as great as the venerables.

"You did it." A while later, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable sighed deeply and said.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable remained silent.

"No, he hasn't. This is not true eternal life yet!" Paradise Earth suddenly spoke, he had a tone and expression of certainty.

Everyone looked towards him.

"Indeed, I have not. This is not considered eternal life." At the next moment, Limitless Demon Venerable agreed with the words as he showed an expression of dejectedness.

Next, he made a shocking move.

He opened his mouth towards the hole of the world boundary and started to suck in.

A large amount of chaos was sucked into Limitless Demon Venerable's stomach!

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable watched with contracted pupils, they could not help but take in a deep breath.

If a venerable was considered a child, the chaos would be fire. earlier, when Limitless Demon Venerable placed his hand into the chaos, he was roasting his flesh with the fire. But now, he was even more daring, he was swallowing fire!

After Limitless Demon Venerable sucked in a large amount of chaos, he sat down in a cross-legged fashion.

At the same time, chaos seeped out of the hole and rushed towards his head, shoulders, and body like a flowing river.

Limitless Demon Venerable activated his killer move for the first time, an immensely strong aura burst out and shook the minds of all the immortals present.

Everyone watched silently, they knew that Limitless Demon Venerable was currently giving it a try.

This was an advancement!

He was trying to advance to the true realm of eternal life!!

Ever since he was a child, he had maintained a heart of curiosity.

He was like an innocent child who was filled with desire to explore the unknown.

He wanted to know everything, he wanted to know the truth.

He did not pursue fame or fortune, the status of a venerable did not make him feel any pride or arrogance.

He had once reached the peak of the world, the end of heaven and earth.

But he still wanted to continue moving!

Yet, there was no road ahead of him.

Thus, he planned meticulously and worked with Star Constellation, dragging the entire Gu cultivation world along with his dangerous plan of creating the Crazed Demon formation, he prepared for a million years just for this moment.

All of it was to pursue the truth!

No road remained ahead of him.

Thus, he moved his legs and exerted all his strength to step into the boundless darkness.

He wanted to carve out his own road!

This was the final push.

Limitless was doing his best!

A long time passed, but it felt like an instant.

Whoosh.

Black fire started to spew out of Limitless Demon Venerable's nose and ears.

The immortals' hearts shook.

Next, Limitless Demon Venerable opened his eyes slowly and looked at the immortals, saying plainly: "I failed."

"No! I am still around." Demon Immortal Qi Jue shouted and made his move, using all his strength to activate practice Gu.

A wave of profound light shot towards Limitless Demon Venerable's body from Demon Immortal Qi Jue.

The black fire on Limitless Demon Venerable was quickly extinguished!

Limitless Demon Venerable gained some time to rest, he laughed loudly and shook his head: "Qi Jue, you can stop now."

"How can we determine the result before putting in all our effort?" Demon Immortal Qi Jue rebuked in anger, "Are you willing to give up like this? The true eternal life... I want, I want to see it too!"

Demon Venerable sighed, a complex expression could be seen on his face: "I failed even after a million years of accumulation. Don't you get it? Eternal life — does not exist."

At the next moment.

Bam.

Limitless Demon Venerable shattered abruptly, turning back into countless fragments of truthful floating ice.

"No!!" Secret Schemer and Not Immortal screamed in unison, grieving like they had lost their loved one.

Limitless Demon Venerable failed!

Because Demon Immortal Qi Jue had too close of a connection with him, the chaos instantly approached him, as it swept past him, he vanished without a trace!

The great pseudo venerable did not even manage to last three breaths of time.

The power of the terrifying chaotic disaster was evident with one glance!

The immortals were still in a daze.

This battle in Crazed Demon Cave that took a million years of accumulation and also all the venerables' planning ended like this?

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable revived, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable also revived, Paradise Earth changed to cultivating heaven path, while Spectral Soul Demon Venerable lost his reasoning. In the end, Limitless Demon Venerable suppressed everyone in strength, but he still failed to succeed.

He died, he died on the road of exploration.

Eternal life?

It was a mere dream.

There was nothing!

It did not exist!!

"How could he fail? How could he fail!" Not Immortal shouted.

Secret Schemer held his head and muttered dejectedly: "There is no eternal life... hehe, there is no eternal life... hehe."

He had gone insane!

"Does eternal life really not exist in this world? Venerable is the limit, there is no... road ahead?" Star Constellation Immortal Venerable muttered to herself.

She had asked the question that all the immortals were wondering!

But nobody could answer it.

Limitless Demon Venerable might be the most qualified in this aspect, since he had already surpassed everyone else by a huge margin.

But he had died.

It failed.

He died from the chaotic disaster.

Using his life, it seemed like he exposed a cruel truth to the immortals.

Whoosh!

Right at this moment, the sound of wind could be heard.

Fang Yuan suddenly made his move, snatching a piece of the truthful floating ice!

The immortals were instantly jolted awake.

Limitless Demon Venerable died and turned into pieces of truthful floating ice.

Most of the truthful floating ice had been destroyed in the chaos, but a small portion remained.

The chaos... could not do anything to them!

They were the eternal life results derived by Limitless' Crazed Demon formation, they were definitely the essence of his hard work!!

Limitless Demon Venerable died, but his million years of hard work had not gone down the drain, he left behind abundant results!

Snatch them!!

There was nothing else to say, after the immortals reacted, they attacked almost at the same time.

Rumble...

A large number of killer moves were activated, colliding into each other and exploding loudly.

Heaven shook and the earth cracked!

Not Immortal and Secret Schemer did not even manage to make a sound before they died on the spot.

But the remaining pieces of the truthful floating ice were intact and still shining radiantly!

This was expected.

Even the chaotic disaster could do nothing to them, venerables and pseudo venerables were also unable to damage them with their killer moves.

Rumble...

The scene was chaotic, killer moves influenced each other as the immortals restrained one another.

"Get lost!!"

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable shouted angrily, golden light surged in the sky, exploding fiercely like a crashing tsunami, everywhere it went, nothing could stop it.

Fang Yuan and the other pseudo venerables quickly dodged.

The golden aurora light suddenly turned into a spiral that sucked in a piece of the truthful floating ice.

Seeing this, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable snorted coldly and scattered some flying stars, hundreds or thousands of them radiated with starlight and crashed into the golden aurora, getting mutually destroyed.

As Giant Sun Immortal Venerable did not succeed, the truthful floating ice that was taken by the golden aurora was free again, it floated freely in the void.

This was the largest truthful floating ice, all of the remaining truthful floating ice fragments were merely its size after being added up. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was attempting to take away half of this eternal life result that took a million years to nurture, how could that happen? Star Constellation Immortal Venerable would not allow him to succeed!

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's gazes were locked onto each other.

Right at this time, Lu Wei Yin suddenly made a move, targeting the small truthful floating ice fragment that was closest to him.

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable did not move, but starlight appeared out of nowhere, sending Lu Wei Yin flying.

At almost the same time, Fang Yuan was also stopped by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.

He wanted to target the other truthful floating ices but golden light shot down like needles, almost piercing his body.

The two venerables opposed each other, but they held the same attitude towards Fang Yuan and the rest.

Be it Star Constellation Immortal Venerable or Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, they were very domineering, they did not want the truthful floating ice to end up with anyone else.

Lu Wei Yin and Fang Yuan were obstructed, at this time, the pseudo venerables had to prepare and wait for another moment to arise when the two venerables fought again.

The hole was gradually expanding.

Limitless Demon Venerable had already died. Before he died, he was able to suppress the tiny hole.

But after his death, the power he left behind was weakening, even though chaos did not seep out of the hole in the world boundary anymore, that was going to happen soon.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable took a look at the hole in the world boundary, he spoke calmly to Star Constellation Immortal Venerable: "Star Constellation, why don't we have a ceasefire again and deal with these pseudo venerables first. We can then fix the world boundary's hole and split the truthful floating ice between ourselves. How's that?"

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable nodded and replied to him with her direct actions.

Immediately, starlight danced around and shot everywhere, launching fatal attacks towards Fang Yuan and the other pseudo venerables.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's killer move soon followed.

Fang Yuan and the rest had to dodge everywhere, they escaped in distress.

Limitless Demon Venerable died and the Crazed Demon formation was destroyed, without Limitless' retaliation method, the two venerables were free to attack.

Of course, they did not use their full strength, even in the current situation. The reason was that they were guarding against each other.

Even so, Fang Yuan and the rest were in dangerous situations, they were often struggling in the face of death.

"I can't continue resisting these two venerables' power. Everyone, I'm leaving first." Fang Yuan shouted and dragged Qi Sea Ancestor along, wanting to leave the ninth layer.

Paradise Earth frowned immediately.

Crazed Demon Cave only had the ninth layer left now, if Fang Yuan left, the two venerables would not have the opportunity to chase him.

Because anyone who left would be giving the other venerable a chance.

It meant giving up the snatching of the truthful floating ice!

Because next, as long as either venerable made a move to seal the ninth layer of Crazed Demon Cave, the pseudo venerables would have trouble trying to come in again after they leave.

As long as they stalled for some time, the two venerables would be able to keep away the truthful floating ice, after that, they would be able to easily deal with the pseudo venerables!

But right at this moment, the two venerables snorted coldly together.

"Others can leave, but you, Fang Yuan, cannot!"

"Please leave behind the truthful floating ice that you snatched away earlier, you cannot bring this away with you."

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable spoke one sentence each, expressing their honest attitude.

Among the Gu Immortals, Fang Yuan was the first to get a piece. Everyone else including the two venerables had not obtained anything yet.

And Fang Yuan's piece was quite big too, it was at least ten percent of the entire truthful floating ice!

At this moment, the two venerables cooperated again, dealing with Fang Yuan together.

Fang Yuan's expression changed.

Earlier, the two venerables worked together to deal with him, but the pressure now was incomparable to before.

Soon, Fang Yuan was forced to activate reverse flow protection seal again!

Reverse Flow River was nearly depleted earlier, but after it was replenished during this period of time, the river water had risen slightly in sovereign immortal aperture.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's killer moves were quickly reflected back to them.

However, for these two venerables, reverse flow protection seal was only a slight bother, it was a mere obstacle.

As long as they used skillful methods, they would be able to resolve it in some time.

-x-X-x-

"Paradise Earth, I am willing to share my truthful floating ice with you. Right now, we cannot afford to leave each other in the lurch, we must be united and work together." Fang Yuan shouted.

Paradise Earth nodded: "Fang Yuan, you are right!"

Saying so, he made his move.

But he disregarded Fang Yuan, he targeted a piece of truthful floating ice.

The truthful floating ice was quickly kept in Paradise Earth's immortal aperture.

At the same time, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable targeted that largest truthful floating ice again!

As long as he obtained this, he would be the biggest winner in this Crazed Demon Cave situation. The two venerables were unable to defeat each other, if Giant Sun Immortal Venerable wanted to leave, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable could not stop him.

"Don't think about it!" Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had a cold gaze.

Bam.

Killer moves collided, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable managed to repel Giant Sun Immortal Venerable again, but she could not stop Paradise Earth in time.

Heaven path method!

The heaven path method that Paradise Earth used to take the truthful floating ice was very profound, his aura was initially concealed to the limit, even the two venerables could not detect it. After activation, the move was extremely fast, even Star Constellation Immortal Venerable could not stop it in time, allowing Paradise Earth to succeed!

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable sighed deeply, she took out that mysterious secluded domain of heaven and earth again.

This secluded domain of heaven and earth looked like a lantern, once Star Constellation Immortal Venerable used her killer move, she lifted the lantern and shined it on all the Gu Immortals.

At the next moment, a tsunami made of endless emotions surged into the immortals' hearts!

Their expressions changed abruptly, they resisted with difficulty.

Fang Yuan activated fortitude Gu while Giant Sun Immortal Venerable instilled immortal essence into familial emotion Gu, Paradise Earth activated the killer move emotionless heaven and earth instead to resolve it.

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable snickered, she took out Book Mountain again.

Book Mountain shined with dazzling light, all sorts of killer moves were replicated and unleashed on the Gu Immortals.

There was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's method, Qi Sea Ancestor's and Demon Immortal Qi Jue's killer moves, Paradise Earth's killer move, and even Limitless Demon Venerable's method!

At this moment, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable finally unleashed her full strength, using the two killer moves with these two secluded domains of heaven and earth as the cores to suppress everyone that was currently present.

Her expression paled immediately, the starlight specks around her dimmed, she had consumed over ten billion thoughts to do this, they were nearly fully expended.

Using this time, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable activated Book Mountain, Limitless' chains flew out to grab the truthful floating ice and send it into her immortal aperture.

This truthful floating ice was not the biggest one, but it contained an Immortal Gu!

Nobody noticed this Immortal Gu except Star Constellation Immortal Venerable.

Precisely because of it, she was willing to temporarily give up the largest truthful floating ice piece and grabbed this smaller piece first.

After collecting the Immortal Gu, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable immediately stopped her killer move, she stored away Book Mountain and focused on defense.

Her action was very wise.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable could no longer control himself.

At the next moment, he shouted loudly, golden light shot out fiercely with his retaliation.

Attacks rained down harshly, forcing Star Constellation Immortal Venerable to retreat continuously, she was like a helpless floating duckweed in the storm.

Using this opportunity, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable took a piece of the truthful floating ice as well.

This was not the largest truthful floating ice piece, but it was the one closest to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.

Because he knew that he could only suppress Star Constellation Immortal Venerable for a few breaths of time, there was no time to take the largest truthful floating ice!

As expected, at the next moment, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable recovered and attacked Giant Sun Immortal Venerable again.

The two venerables fought intensely, because they were using their full strength while trying to get the truthful floating ice pieces, they did not have the time or energy to spend on other matters. This gave the pseudo venerables a good chance.

Fang Yuan and Paradise Earth took three or four pieces each.

Lu Wei Yin, Shen Shang, and Qi Sea also obtained one or two pieces.

Not long after, the truthful floating ice fragments were all taken except for that final largest piece!

The two venerables had considerable injuries now, their attempts to take it were all thwarted by the other party.

The two venerables raced against time, attacking the pseudo venerables again.

This time, they fought with more motivation. After all, the pseudo venerables all had some truthful floating ice pieces on them.

"Oh?" While the two venerables suppressed the pseudo venerables, they started to feel a little surprised.

Because Paradise Earth was displaying greater battle strength than before!

Almost every breath of time, his strength grew by some extent, his aura was already inching closer to the level of a rank nine venerable now.

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's eyes shined with bright light: "So that's it. Paradise Earth, because you converted to cultivating heaven path, and because this truthful floating ice is closely related to heaven path, you can draw strength from it to raise your cultivation level, this is a brilliant method!"

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable spoke with a tone of admiration, but her killing intent surged correspondingly as well.

Earlier, when Fang Yuan asked for help, Paradise Earth ignored him to snatch that truthful floating ice, so this was the reason!

Evidently, as long as he could get sufficient truthful floating ice pieces, Paradise Earth would be able to alleviate the flaw of being prematurely revived and become a venerable again.

And this time, he would not be an earth path venerable, but most uniquely, a heaven path venerable!

Once Paradise Earth became a heaven path venerable, his strength would likely rise up to the top of the world.

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable were not going to sit around and watch this happen.

Fate Gu had been destroyed, the entire world was pretty much ruled by them. Nobody would want to see the return of Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable, especially when this Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable would have far greater strength than them!

There was no communication, the two venerables worked together for the third time.

This time, they gave up on Fang Yuan, focusing on Paradise Earth instead.

Paradise Earth activated heaven path killer moves consecutively to block the two venerables' attacks, but soon, he showed signs of being unable to continue.

Even though the heaven path methods were vast and profound, the two venerables had greater strength now.

Paradise Earth fell into a life-and-death crisis, he shouted at the rest: "Please lend me a hand!"

Lu Wei Yin and Shen Shang hesitated for a moment before tossing their truthful floating ice pieces into treasure yellow heaven at almost the same time.

Paradise Earth took the truthful floating ices from treasure yellow heaven and quickly used them to raise his cultivation level.

His aura grew once more, he was only inches away from reaching venerable level.

"I am only one step away, Fang Yuan!" Paradise Earth transmitted urgently.

Fang Yuan snickered: "I can give you the truthful floating ice, but Paradise Earth, can you pay a sufficient price that will satisfy me?"

Paradise Earth gritted his teeth, he immediately sent the Northern Plains Paradise Earth true inheritance into treasure yellow heaven, along with all sorts of heaven path killer moves and his own heaven path cultivation experiences.

Of course, the most important thing was the alliance agreement.

To get the most crucial truthful floating ice, Paradise Earth made a huge concession!

Fang Yuan placed a small piece of the truthful floating ice into treasure yellow heaven, the two quickly made the transaction.

"Haha, Paradise Earth, you can have the final truthful floating ice pieces too!" After the transaction was done, Fang Yuan shouted loudly.

Paradise Earth's heart shook.

Indeed, at the next moment, both venerables erupted with killer moves surrounding Paradise Earth, barraging him with attacks!

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable raised the lantern high up, endless emotions assaulted his heart.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable grabbed with his hands continuously, attacking Paradise Earth's luck.

Paradise Earth was covered in terrifying injuries, he was like a mortal hanging on a cliff, moments away from dying.

Shen Shang, Lu Wei Yin, and even Fang Yuan and Qi Sea Ancestor attacked from afar, using killer moves to try to help out Paradise Earth.

But it was no use!

Paradise Earth gritted his teeth, struggling desperately. The truthful floating ice melted gradually, helping him to push to the level of a venerable once again!

But at the crucial moment, Paradise Earth's killer move had a peculiar mistake.

The killer move failed and the backlash triggered, Paradise Earth's cultivation level was stuck at the final step.

The two venerables' attacks arrived and instantly engulfed Paradise Earth.

"Quickly save him!" Lu Wei Yin shouted and was the first to move.

The other pseudo venerables' hearts jumped too as they took action.

The two venerables were not willing to see Paradise Earth getting saved, they chased after him too.

The pseudo venerables used all their strengths and disregarded their own danger, managing to block Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's attacks with great difficulty.

But Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's starlight still hit Paradise Earth's body.

Paradise Earth shouted loudly, veins bulged on his face as he used all his strength to activate a killer move.

With his defensive killer move broken, his body became covered in countless holes that were ravaged by the starlight, but his healing method was still effective, Paradise Earth was forcefully holding onto his last breath.

At this time, Qi Sea made a move, shielding Fang Yuan, who quickly got closer to Paradise Earth's side.

"Fang Yuan!" Lu Wei Yin and Shen Shang jolted, the light of hope shined in their eyes.

The two venerables' expressions sank slightly.

Right as Fang Yuan was about to save Paradise Earth...

Boom!

Fang Yuan's palm slammed onto Paradise Earth's back and penetrated his chest.

Paradise Earth was already at his last breath, Fang Yuan's attack was the fatal blow that he could not endure.

At the moment before his death, Paradise Earth's eyes stared wide as he grabbed Fang Yuan's hand.

"Paradise Earth, rest in peace." Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

At the next moment, Paradise Earth's dwindling aura dissipated entirely.

He died with eyes wide open!

The entire scene shook.

The two venerables looked at Fang Yuan with peculiar expressions.

Lu Wei Yin's lips were trembling, he broke the silence and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Fang Yuan, what have you done?!"

"Fang Yuan, this..." Shen Shang's eyeballs were almost going to pop out.

Qi Sea Ancestor stopped beside Fang Yuan's main body, showing a strange expression as well.

Everyone knew that in this situation with two unrivaled venerables, Paradise Earth was their only hope of resisting them. But the one who killed this hope was not the two venerables, but Fang Yuan himself!

Was Fang Yuan crazy?

He actually did something like this!

It was too absurd.

"Something's not right." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable muttered to himself.

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable frowned slightly as well but did not speak.

The two venerables saw that Fang Yuan was keeping away Paradise Earth's corpse into sovereign immortal aperture so calmly, they sensed a slight change in the atmosphere.

"Fang Yuan, how are we going to get out of this?" Shen Shang asked anxiously.

"Without Lord Paradise Earth, how can we resist the two venerables?!" Lu Wei Yin was stomping his feet and staring at Fang Yuan angrily.

Fang Yuan smiled plainly: "It is simple, wouldn't it be fine if I am a venerable?"

Saying so, he no longer concealed his aura, exposing it at this moment.

Rank nine cultivation level!

At once, the entire battlefield went silent.

"Mere tricks." Star Constellation Immortal Venerable snorted coldly, starlight flowed like water as it surged towards Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan breathed out lightly, a qi tide poured out and blocked all the starlight.

At the other end, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable also tried to probe, golden needles shot down like a torrential rain.

Fang Yuan waved his hand, red aurora filled the sky, incinerating all of the golden needles.

The pupils of the two venerables shrank.

Lu Wei Yin, Shen Shang, and even Fang Yuan's clone, Qi Sea Ancestor, were tongue-tied.

Even against the attacks of the two venerables, Fang Yuan blocked them perfectly, he displayed genuine rank nine cultivation level!

Did he really become a venerable?!

-x-X-x-

Rumble...

Fang Yuan's killer moves shot out, forcing Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable to retreat.

"What in the world is going on?"

"Since when did Fang Yuan become a venerable?!"

Lu Wei Yin and Shen Shang watched as Fang Yuan fought the two venerables, they had complex emotions and asked Qi Sea Ancestor urgently.

Qi Sea Ancestor was also confused, he smiled bitterly: "I had no clue either."

Lu Wei Yin and Shen Shang were speechless, Fang Yuan had hid this so deeply that he even deceived his own clone!

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable remained silent.

Because they found that Fang Yuan's strength had vaguely surpassed either of them!

He was still a rank eight pseudo venerable earlier, how did he turn into a genuine rank nine so suddenly?!

The two venerables were very confused and suspicious.

"Strange, strange, very strange!" Giant Sun Immortal Venerable attacked fiercely, golden light rained down with imposing might.

Fang Yuan responded with a shout, his prepared method was activated, forcefully suppressing the overwhelming golden light.

"The dao marks on his body far surpass Giant Sun Immortal Venerable!" Seeing this, Lu Wei Yin and the rest felt their hearts jumping.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable took in a deep breath of cold air secretly, he focused his eyes and activated a method.

At the next moment, his vision changed, he started to observe the luck above Fang Yuan's head.

Initially, Fang Yuan's luck was completely hidden, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable could only see Cooking Luck Pot.

But soon, after Giant Sun Immortal Venerable intensified the force of this move and golden blood flowed out of his eyes, he finally got through Cooking Luck Pot's defense and saw Fang Yuan's true luck.

He saw a silver pillar of light that connected heaven and earth, it was grand and condensed.

At the base of the silvery pillar, there was a brown grave, it had mostly dissipated now, only a small part was left.

Seeing this, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had a thought, he sighed to himself: "This is Paradise Earth's luck, on one hand, it can stabilize the foundation of the silver light pillar, but on the other hand, it is also digging away and replacing Fang Yuan's foundation. It was the biggest threat to Fang Yuan's luck initially, now that he killed Paradise Earth, this threat has been removed! This remaining part of the grave is the foundation of Paradise Earth that Fang Yuan has yet to devour completely."

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable raised his head again, looking at the top of the silver light pillar.

Earlier when they joined forces, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had observed Fang Yuan's luck. Compared to then, Fang Yuan's silver light pillar was no longer blocked by three clouds at the top.

It shot right through them, truly looking like it was holding up the heavens and supporting the earth!

The three clouds could only revolve around the top part of the silver pillar.

This meant that the three venerables could no longer hold Fang Yuan down.

Among the three clouds, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's cloud had turned into a golden-blood colored cloud, it was at the top. Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's and Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's clouds were below his, they seemed to have the trend of tearing apart.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was moved again: "Is this hinting that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable is quickly breaking free from Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's control?"

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was not surprised.

Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was someone on the same level as Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, it was already an incredibly shocking achievement that she could control him. But it was unrealistic to try fully controlling a venerable.

"If Spectral Soul Demon Venerable escapes from Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's control later, what will happen?"

"No matter what, in terms of luck alone, Fang Yuan has truly become a venerable!"

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable believed in his own luck path methods, he was finally convinced at this moment.

At this time, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable looked towards Fang Yuan with some rage in his eyes.

How did Fang Yuan become a venerable in the blink of an eye?

Looking at his expression and attitude, it seemed like he held indifference towards rank nine cultivation level, what did he take this venerable status as?

If rank nine venerables could appear so easily, then what would Giant Sun Immortal Venerable amount to?

What would the past venerables amount to?

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable was also considering rapidly: "Fang Yuan has rank nine cultivation level indeed. I underestimated his craftiness and shrewdness! When did he become a venerable? Did he have this cultivation level from the start? All the signs do not point to that possibility. He had secretly become a venerable during a certain moment in the Crazed Demon Cave battle. But... he clearly lacked attainment level."

In the contest in Primordial Domain, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable ganged up on Fang Yuan and destroyed the refinement path portion of the Primordial Domain.

"Wait!" Giant Sun Immortal Venerable suddenly turned his head, retreating as he looked at Fang Yuan, asking: "Did the Thieving Heaven true inheritance contain refinement path true meaning? So you had the necessary refinement path attainment level long ago."

Fang Yuan smiled, but his attacks became even fiercer.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was sent flying by consecutive attacks.

Using this timing, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable shot out countless flying stars that flew like lightning, landing on Fang Yuan's back one after another.

Fang Yuan staggered from the hit, he almost lost his balance and fell forward.

But immediately after, he straightened his back and wiped it with his hand.

Starlight specks were shining intensely on his back, they were the dao marks left behind by the flying stars.

But after Fang Yuan wiped them, all of these dao marks were refined into his own!

The power of rank nine refinement path!

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's heart jumped.

It was terrible to her that Fang Yuan had such a method. Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's combat system did not excel in powerful individual offensive methods, she mainly relied on consecutive hits. And the key to these consecutive hits were the dao marks that the flying stars left behind.

With these dao marks, the following flying stars would be able to deal increasingly greater damage to the enemy.

But Fang Yuan refined these dao marks into his own, the flying star consecutive move was easily broken.

If Star Constellation Immortal Venerable continued to use this move, she would not be fighting Fang Yuan but funding him instead!

Fang Yuan easily got rid of the flying star consecutive move and launched his own counterattack.

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable could not deal with him head on, she had to temporarily retreat.

"He is very proficient with this refinement path killer move, it shows that Fang Yuan came prepared. But he held back the entire time, waiting for the final moment of this Crazed Demon Cave fight and after he became rank nine to utilize this trump card!"

At this moment, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable finally understood the true extent of Fang Yuan's craftiness.

The killer move was prepared long ago, otherwise, it could not be used so quickly after Fang Yuan became rank nine. If he used it earlier, the effect would be great too, but he refused to activate it, causing Star Constellation Immortal Venerable to assume that he was helpless against the flying star killer move.

At the final battle, he used it and caught Star Constellation Immortal Venerable off guard immediately.

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable suddenly had a flash of inspiration, she realized a portion of the truth at this moment as she spoke: "Fang Yuan, well done, you purposely did that during the Primordial Domain contest. You purposely held back and gave up on competing for Primordial Domain, thus Giant Sun and I destroyed the refinement path part of the Primordial Domain. You were purposely pretending to be weak so that we would look down on and put less attention on you!"

Hearing these words, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's heart lit up, he could not help but feel more anger towards Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan remained smiling as he said plainly: "Star Constellation, you are thinking too highly of me."

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable smiled coldly: "Fang Yuan, don't think of deceiving us anymore. Regardless of whether Thieving Heaven's true inheritance had refinement path true meaning, before you entered Primordial Domain, you were already extremely close to supreme grandmaster attainment level. After entering Primordial Domain, you realized that even if you gave up a portion of the refinement path Primordial Domain, you could still become a refinement path supreme grandmaster by yourself."

"Thus, you purposely held back and let Giant Sun and I seemingly ruin your chances of becoming a venerable."

"There were many benefits in this."

"Firstly, becoming a venerable would mean breaking through the Heavenly Dao blockade, you would need to undergo tribulation and it carries many risks, you have to find the right timing to do so. Once you become a supreme grandmaster openly, we would be on guard against you."

"Secondly, even if you became a venerable quickly, before the three worlds united, Limitless' eternal life result was still far away from us, everyone needed to wait. Furthermore, because of Limitless' retaliation, even if you became a venerable, you could not use your strength."

"Thirdly, if you were not a venerable, we would subconsciously ignore you. In our minds, even if Paradise Earth was just a pseudo venerable, he was still more threatening than you."

"Finally, everyone was holding back during the Crazed Demon Cave battle, a lot of trump cards were not revealed. For example, you did not know how much I had infiltrated the Crazed Demon formation. Thus, you concealed your methods and waited for the situation to become clearer, after we went through our methods, before trying to claim victory!"

While defending against Fang Yuan's attacks, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable analyzed and exposed Fang Yuan's schemes to everyone.

Be they Giant Sun Immortal Venerable or Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, they did not want a third venerable contesting with them.

Paradise Earth was the best example.

He was trying to become a venerable under the attention of the two venerables, in the end, he got heavily injured because of them.

As Giant Sun Immortal Venerable listened to Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's explanation, his mind became increasingly clear.

With a loud howling sound, he stepped on a giant golden aurora and charged at Fang Yuan.

At the same time, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable also pincer attacked Fang Yuan from another direction.

-x-X-x-

Seeing the fierce attacks of the enemies, Fang Yuan quickly dodged for the time being.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable pursued relentlessly as he shouted: "Back then, when I fought my way into the Door of Life and Death, I wanted to probe Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's trump card and learn of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's current condition. But you also went inside, it was truly a great scheme! If you remained in the outside world, you would need to deal with Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, who went out. But if you followed me, you would be able to see the strength of Heavenly Court and my Longevity Heaven."

At that time, because of Heavenly Court's arrangements, the Door of Life and Death was tightly connected to the immortal graveyard, it could not be destroyed forcefully in a short period of time.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable secretly inspected their lucks, after learning of this peculiar change in Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's and Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's lucks, he wanted to find out the reason. If possible, he wanted to ruin this 'intimate relationship' between them.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable knew that Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had hidden cards too, but he went inside the Door of Life and Death regardless.

Because he had his own trump cards.

When he used the blood path method to revive, no matter how severe his injuries got, he would be fully healed.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had been trying to make the best use of this trump card, he tried all ways possible to probe more of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's methods.

From Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's perspective, this was the first time he was fighting against a venerable.

Venerables had immense foundation, he needed to probe carefully.

To destroy the immortal graveyard, he had to target the Door of Life and Death. By going inside, he could inspect if there was really a relationship between Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Spectral Soul Demon Venerable. If possible, he would destroy that connection and save Spectral Soul Demon Venerable before working together. Or if possible, he could even try to take the Door of Life and Death for himself!

With all these intentions, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable managed to find out Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's method involving emotions on this trip.

When Star Constellation Immortal Venerable left the Door of Life and Death, did Giant Sun Immortal Venerable really not have any way of stopping her?

That was not the case.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was happy to see Star Constellation Immortal Venerable leave.

Firstly, the eternal life result still needed some time to nurture, he had already left behind his investigative method in the Crazed Demon formation, that was Luck Suppression Heavenly Palace.

Secondly, three parties were contesting in Crazed Demon Cave then, other than Green Lotus Great World's Heavenly Court, and Savage Wilderness Great World's Longevity Heaven, there was also Yellow Earth Great World's Paradise Earth.

In the end, through this contest, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable forced Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable to revive prematurely, causing him to only have pseudo venerable cultivation level.

When Paradise Earth went into the Door of Life and Death, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable did not use his biggest trump card before leaving. Even though he did not save Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, he managed to ally with Paradise Earth.

Boom!

As Fang Yuan retaliated, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's killer move was broken, he was forced back again.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable yelled: "Fang Yuan, I am sure you wanted to see Paradise Earth's premature resurrection as well. Such great acting, truly great acting skills! After leaving the Door of Life and Death, I was hit by Qin Ding Ling's method and fell into a disadvantage. I needed you to take action but you were trapped by Star Constellation Immortal Venerable. That was your intentional excuse! You purposely made the Qi Sea clone activate Hu elevation, that way, the Qi Sea clone would be restrained again, while Zhan Bu Du was unable to get away. You managed to watch openly as our two sides fought and expended each other's strength!"

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable said while gritting his teeth.

Back then, he still had an immortal zombie body, he was suppressed by Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and schemed against by Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, his combat system's foundation was uprooted. Even though the situation was dangerous, Giant Sun was not flustered.

Because he still had the greatest trump card unused!

Giant Sun held back and waited because he wanted to see the trump cards of these other people.

In the end, Paradise Earth made his move.

Paradise Earth did not attack Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, instead, he tried to help Giant Sun, after failing, he immediately saved Fang Yuan.

This showed that Paradise Earth's intentions were not simple either.

However, after Fang Yuan was 'saved', he still refused to help out Giant Sun, instead, he went to kill the unimportant Qin Ding Ling.

This way, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had no choice but to use his blood path trump card, reviving completely.

Fang Yuan succeeded in killing Qin Ding Ling, but how could he deceive Giant Sun Immortal Venerable with such superficial actions.

Giant Sun was very clear of it in his heart, since he exposed his true strength, he immediately changed his position and joined up with Star Constellation Immortal Venerable to deal with Fang Yuan.

Because of this, Fang Yuan was attacked by two venerables, he had to expend Reverse Flow River, but still got hit in the end, his immortal aperture suffered calamities and tribulations.

"Wait!" Thinking of this, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable realized and called out: "During that time, you used the opportunity of your immortal aperture getting hit to obscure the aura and use the chance to break through the Heavenly Dao blockade, by stacking tribulation with tribulation, you deceived everyone and got past the final tribulation, becoming a venerable!"

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable finally understood everything.

Back then, he thought that he had succeeded when he inspected Fang Yuan's falling luck and the aura of calamities and tribulations in his aperture. But to think that Fang Yuan was making use of this to secretly tackle the Heavenly Dao blockade and break through an even stronger tribulation.

With just Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's method, he could definitely not create black fire in Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal aperture.

The black fire was the remnant product of the chaotic disaster.

Fang Yuan did not speak, he attacked fiercely, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable resisted with difficulty.

He stared at Fang Yuan and continued to speak: "Through that method, you became a venerable without anyone noticing. I originally thought that you were not skilled in aura concealment methods, but to think that your attainment in this aspect is shocking, you have been concealing your aura the entire time! You actually deceived me, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, and wait, even Paradise Earth was deceived!"

Fang Yuan was the greatest liar, he lied until the very end. All of these venerables were toyed around by him!

Lu Wei Yin and Shen Shang looked at each other, feeling the shock in each other's hearts.

The fight between the venerables was getting more intense, they started using their full strength, causing the rest to be pushed away to the boundaries of the void, along with the Qi Sea clone.

Looking at Fang Yuan who was holding the upper hand, Lu Wei Yin and Shen Shang had complex emotions.

On one hand, they were shocked and in admiration that Fang Yuan broke through successfully to become a venerable, he was even suppressing two noble existences who were famous in history. But on the other hand, Lu Wei Yin and Shen Shang were furious.

They had a close connection to Paradise Earth, while a large part of his death was attributed to Fang Yuan's scheme.

In the end, Paradise Earth had no choice but to expose his great secret — he could absorb truthful floating ice to raise his cultivation level!

Fang Yuan purposely made a transaction with Paradise Earth and shouted so loudly, triggering the two venerables to use their full strength on him.

In the end, the attacks of the two venerables helped out Fang Yuan, he managed to kill Paradise Earth.

Crafty, scheming, evil!

Such words revolved around the hearts of Lu Wei Yin and Shen Shang, they could not help but describe Fang Yuan as such.

Rumble...

As the golden light faded and starlight dimmed, Fang Yuan was incredibly domineering, his aura was surging like a rising tiger over ten thousand li.

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable were feeling bitter internally.

After so long, they had already expended many of their trump cards in combat. Their injuries were still lingering, there was simply no time to heal them.

In contrast, Fang Yuan had been staying low-profile and hiding his strength, his schemes were simply too deep.

Boom!

The three venerables clashed again.

Fang Yuan held the upper hand once more.

The two venerables were forced back, they spat out blood together, their injuries becoming more severe.

Fang Yuan wore a snow-white robe, his hair was long and fluttering, he dominated the battlefield, with his aura surmounting mountains and rivers.

He firmly grasped the upper hand as he suddenly recited —

In my youth I knew the hardships of the world,

Yet I still aspired to soar above the clouds.

A journey of cold winds and uncertainty, A lone traveler experiences a life of ups and downs.

A heart of steel forged from countless setbacks, A lifetime of effort to forge one sword.

Today my sword aims beyond the clouds,

Refine Gu! Refine Human! Refine Heaven!!

Fang Yuan's attacks were like a surging tide, enveloping all the surrounding battlefield, approaching from all directions of the world.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable could not resist them, they retreated time and time again.

Fang Yuan grabbed with his hand, the final truthful floating ice went towards him.

"Don't think about it!" Star Constellation Immortal Venerable snorted coldly, she had to toss out the Door of Life and Death at the final crucial moment.

The Door of Life and Death erupted with an immense suction force, while Giant Sun Immortal Venerable attacked at the same time, his killer move landing on Fang Yuan.

In order to take the truthful floating ice, Fang Yuan exposed a weakness and was sent into the Door of Life and Death by the two venerables.

"Our tactic succeeded!" The two venerables looked at each other, having expressions of joy flashing at the same time.

But at the next moment...

Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po Valley, and Reverse Flow River!

A killer move with all three secluded domains of heaven and earth as the cores was activated by Fang Yuan.

A road of life was suddenly formed, extending out of the Door of Life and Death.

Fang Yuan instantly returned to the battlefield, leaving Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, who was extremely furious and agitated behind in the Door of Life and Death.

The two venerables stared with wide eyes!

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's eyelids were twitching intensely, this was the move that he wanted Fang Yuan to conceptualize when he was trapped in the Door of Life and Death. Fang Yuan kept delaying it and showed an expression of helplessness, eventually failing in his deduction. But now, seeing that Fang Yuan was using it so proficiently, it was clear that he had already practiced it many times.

Before the battle in Crazed Demon Cave, Fang Yuan already had this killer move!

But he still used Dang Hun Luo Po Seal to make an excuse for Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and the rest.

Seeing that the Door of Life and Death could not trap Fang Yuan, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable let out a soft sigh.

At the next moment, the Door of Life and Death opened, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable flew out immediately!

He was still in an agitated state, his mind was not clear, he did not attack Star Constellation Immortal Venerable but furiously targeted Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Fang Yuan.

Using this chance, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable wanted to snatch the truthful floating ice.

The scene became very chaotic.

Immortal killer move — Dang Hun Luo Po Seal!

With one attack by Fang Yuan, a thousand of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's arms severed.

After Fang Yuan became venerable and passed the black fire tribulation, his dao marks had already exceeded Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!

Fang Yuan roared and made a push, eventually taking that final truthful floating ice for himself.

"Star Constellation, I've already done my best." From within Spectral Soul's belly, Verdant Great Sun's voice could be heard sighing.

Next, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's expression changed, becoming blank.

His roaring and emotions of hatred vanished, he ignored Fang Yuan and Giant Sun as he charged towards the hole expressionlessly.

Bam.

With a loud sound, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had actually used his own body to block the hole of the world boundary.

The immortals were shocked, the entire scene became silent again.

-x-X-x-

This was a nameless grassland, the ground was dry and desolate, there was barely any vegetation except yellowish wilting wild grass.

The sky was gray and hazy, no sunlight could be seen.

A cold and dark wind blew on the faces of the immortals.

At this ordinary location, tens of Gu Immortals were gathered!

All of their attention was placed on two people.

The male immortal wore a yellowish brown leather robe unique to Northern Plains, he had a red and thick leather belt, as well as pitch-black leather shoes.

The loose robe could not conceal his muscular body, while his face was nothing extraordinary, he looked very plain.

But nobody present could ignore him despite that.

Because his name was Chu Du.

The Domination Immortal!

And opposing him, there was a female immortal.

The female immortal wore a half-mask covering her nose, mouth and cheeks, only revealing the upper half of her face, which showed her strong contours, sharp and long brows, bright eyes and a bold aura.

She was Fairy Black Moon, a powerful expert who challenged countless people and had never suffered a loss since her rise in Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world!

As for her true identity as Hei Lou Lan, few Gu Immortals knew.

Not long ago, Hei Lou Lan defeated one of the most prominent members of Liu tribe, rank seven Gu Immortal expert Liu Chang. She challenged Chu Du thereafter.

Chu Du did not back down, he directly agreed.

Once news of this battle was spread, the tension of Northern Plains' Gu Immortals rose, they paid huge attention to it.

Right now, the time for the two immortals' fight had arrived.

"Chu Du, you have finally arrived." Battle intent surged in Hei Lou Lan's eyes, blazing like flames.

"The contest of strength path, I have been looking forward to this." Chu Du replied happily: "Regardless of the outcome today, fairy, I would like to invite you to my Chu tribe as a guest, we can exchange our experiences in cultivating strength path."

Hei Lou Lan snorted coldly: "Chu Du, I've heard of your great name since long ago. But if you want to exchange pointers, we will have to see if you are qualified."

Chu Du smiled: "Please have the first move."

Hei Lou Lan did not stand on ceremony, her body flew out like lightning, rising up and flying towards the upper clouds.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Waves of human figures descended from the clouds, crashing towards Chu Du like meteors.

Chu Du raised his head and immediately retreated upon seeing this.

He was very fast, after pulling some distance, he used his killer move as he pushed with both palms.

Boom...

A surge of great strength burst out, air currents were generated, Hei Lou Lan's strength path phantoms shattered like bursting bubbles against this powerful attack.

Chu Du pushed with his palms again, clearing out the dark clouds in the sky, exposing the clear skies and radiant sunlight.

Hei Lou Lan, who had hidden herself in the cloud layer was also exposed as a result.

Hei Lou Lan had a serious expression, after the concealment of the dark clouds, her killer move was already prepared.

At the next moment, her hands clenched into fists, raising them above her head before slamming them down towards Chu Du's direction.

With a thunderous sound, air was squeezed and distorted as the fist shadows instantly arrived in front of Chu Du.

Chu Du raised both arms, blocking the attack.

Bam.

There was a loud collision as he was forced back by a hundred steps.

But soon, he stopped in the air, shrugging his shoulders, a layer of dust fell from his sleeves.

He was completely unharmed!

Hei Lou Lan was not surprised at all, she continued to rain down a flurry of unceasing attacks.

Chu Du blocked her attacks time and time again while retaliating in response.

Both sides were separated by some distance, they attacked with long-ranged methods that caused incredible commotions.

The observing immortals were all staring at the two of them with fixed gazes.

"So exciting, to think that strength path Gu Immortals would have so many outstanding long-ranged methods."

"Currently, it seems that Fairy Black Moon and Chu Du are evenly matched."

"Hmph, now is too early to make that conclusion," Chou Lao Wu snorted coldly, "Strength path Gu Immortals are strongest at close combat, they are still using long-ranged methods to probe each other now."

Chu Du was firm as a mountain while Hei Lou Lan displayed many outstanding long-ranged methods, after more than ten rounds of combat, the two sides suddenly charged and clashed in the center.

With that loud sound, all of the immortals jolted.

"They are fighting seriously now!"

"This is an extremely rare contest of strength path!"

"Whoever wins this will be the number one strength path cultivator in the current world."

In the current five regions, there were very few strength path Gu Immortals.

After all, strength path had been declining for a long time, far beyond half a century worth of degradation.

Before Hei Lou Lan appeared, Chu Du was publicly recognized as a strength path expert in the five regions, he had quite the reputation. With the sudden appearance of Hei Lou Lan, most Gu Immortals were shocked by her path. To think that another anomaly would arise in strength path!

Under everyone's gaze, the two continued to rain down punches and kicks at each other, it was an intense fight.

Attacks and defenses were unleashed and put up continually, each move had an incredible amount of strength in them.

Be they Chu Du or Hei Lou Lan, neither had the intention to retreat, they fought strength with strength, ferocity with ferocity!

The battle between strength path Gu Immortals could be said to be plain and simple, it was not as glamorous as other paths. But in the hearts of many Gu Immortals present, a chill started to form.

"Even though strength path is declining, strength path Gu Immortals are not to be underestimated."

"If I had to fight against either Chu Du or Fairy Black Moon, the outcome would be disastrous!"

Each attack by Chu Du or Hei Lou Lan would cause a thunderous sound that twisted and distorted the air, air currents surged as wind continued to form from their impacts.

Compared to long-ranged methods, strength path excelled more at close combat.

A Gu Immortal with superb cultivation in strength path would be threatening in their every punch and kick.

Their advantage in close combat was regarding the aspect of attack frequency.

Hei Lou Lan and Chu Du fought quicker and quicker, the observing Gu Immortals tried to imagine themselves as either party and felt cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.

"In the future, if I meet any strength path Gu Immortal, I must not let them get close to me!"

"The punches and kicks are unleashed too frequently, there is no time to prepare killer moves in such a fight. Without killer moves, how can anyone defend against such intense attacks?"

More than ten rounds passed again.

Chu Du gradually gained the upper hand.

Even though Hei Lou Lan was strong and had many methods, her combat experience still paled in comparison to Chu Du.

Her cultivation time was far less than Chu Du.

Chu Du accumulated his advantage through his immensely rich combat experience. After adding up all these advantages, he started to suppress Hei Lou Lan.

Chen Cheng, Yin Wu Que, and the rest had grim expressions.

"This cannot go on, I need to take a risk!" Hei Lou Lan's gaze turned sharp as a blade, flashing for an instant.

She knew that if she did not change her fighting style now, if this went on, she would definitely lose.

At the next moment, Hei Lou Lan shouted loudly as she rained punches and kicks on Chu Du with rapid intensity.

Chu Du was like a reef by the sea, no matter how intense the waves were, he remained motionless.

Hei Lou Lan was not surprised, while Chu Du defended himself, she quickly moved back and started preparing her killer move.

Chu Du smiled as he quickly approached her!

"Oh no!" Chen Cheng saw this and gasped aloud.

The observing Gu Immortals saw this and knew that Chu Du had waited for this opportunity for some time.

Chu Du erupted with shocking speed, rapidly getting closer to Hei Lou Lan.

Hei Lou Lan had no choice but to helplessly stop her killer move activation, she fought against Chu Du with punches and kicks, blocking the other party's unceasing attacks.

But because of this, by stopping her killer move midway, the activation failure caused a backlash that caused severe internal injuries to Hei Lou Lan.

Chu Du created a battle opportunity, he made great use of it and fought against Hei Lou Lan until she could only defend herself.

Chu Du had the complete advantage now!

A wave of cheers erupted.

These voices came from Chu Du's god-children as well as the supreme elders of Chu tribe.

"Hmph, don't rejoice too early."

"Fairy Black Moon has not used her trump card yet!"

Hei Lou Lan's supporters had grim expressions, they rebuked.

Totem killer move — Dark Capital Strength Biao[1]!

At the next moment, Hei Lou Lan's body shook.

A tiger roared, its huge black claws sent Chu Du flying.

The giant black tiger flapped its wings and vanished on the spot, appearing behind Chu Du.

Chu Du quickly defended himself, even though he blocked the dark capital strength biao's attack again, his body was still sent flying like a cannonball, crashing towards the ground from the force created.

"It's here! Fairy Black Moon's signature method — Dark Capital Strength Biao!" Someone shouted in excitement.

Chou Lao Wu had a cold expression, this was the first time he saw it: "This totem killer move is too convenient. It can stay dormant on the skin during normal times and be activated with a single thought when needed."

"Indeed." Hao Zhen gritted his teeth, "If not for this move, our first supreme elder would have obtained victory already."

-x-X-x-

The dark capital strength biao was incredibly fast, it was hard to deal with in the first place.

More importantly, after Hei Lou Lan stabilized her position, she quickly used a healing method on herself before joining the fight again.

She had great coordination with the dark capital strength biao, they attacked from the left and right, firmly suppressing Chu Du.

Chu Du was in a pitiful state, many areas of his robe were torn, showing that his defenses were no longer holding up.

Blood soon appeared on his lips, his injuries were slowly accumulating.

Chu tribe's Gu Immortals had grim expression, in the current situation, they could not see hope of Chu Du turning this around.

The dark capital strength biao gave Hei Lou Lan too great of an advantage!

"You will lose!" Hei Lou Lan shouted with momentum, unleashing her killer move, eight directional strength fight.

Chu Du was surrounded by countless figures, he could not break out for the time being.

Suddenly, a shadow casted down from above him, it was the dark capital strength biao!

It opened its mouth to bite at Chu Du. If this bite connected, Chu Du would be heavily injured, if not dead.

At the moment of crisis, Chu Du laughed loudly instead: "Finally caught you!"

At the next moment, strength path giant hand appeared and grabbed forcefully.

The dark capital strength biao was caught unguarded and growled loudly, it wanted to struggle.

But after only one breath of time, the strength path giant hand firmly held onto it and slammed it to the ground.

Boom!

There was a loud sound as the ground shook, rocks were sent flying and dust clouds rose.

Immortal killer move — Battle Strength Transpiration!

Chu Du suddenly erupted with an intense aura as his body expanded to the size of a ten meter giant.

His entire body turned red, all of the pores on his body opened up, as his sweat turned into steam, surrounding his body.

Immortal killer move — Heaven and Earth Combined Strength!

Chu Du straightened both arms before clapping them together in front of his chest.

At the next moment, the immortals gasped, Hei Lou Lan's expression changed.

The surrounding thousand li were enveloped by a formless force, the Gu Immortals were restrained and unable to move easily, they felt like bugs that had fallen into oil.

Affected by this killer move, the speed of the dark capital strength biao fell drastically, its threat towards Chu Du also plunged to rock bottom.

"This is a quasi-battlefield killer move!" Hei Lou Lan gritted her teeth, Chu Du's move was amazing and beyond her expectations.

"I did not want to use this." Hei Lou Lan snorted internally, activating the expend strength Immortal Gu in her immortal aperture.

This rank seven Immortal Gu was lent to her by Longevity Heaven secretly, other than that, there was also a killer move that used expend strength Immortal Gu as the core, it was called seventy-percent expended strength.

At the crucial moment, Hei Lou Lan immediately activated this move.

This move's preparation had no aura and was stealthy, only when it was used, it unleashed an overwhelmingly extraordinary burst of aura.

Chu Du quickly tried to dodge but he did not succeed.

After getting hit by this move, every action or killer move of his took much more effort to complete, by at least more than fifty percent.

While Chu Du's condition fell, Hei Lou Lan unleashed a flurry of attacks again.

The battle was in a heated stage, both sides were stuck in a deadlock.

The observing immortals retreated at once, they left the range of heaven and earth combined strength, becoming more at ease as they continued to watch the battle.

"Regardless of this battle's result, these two are peak characters among Northern Plains' rank seven experts!"

"Such terrifying battle strength, I'm afraid they might be able to challenge rank eight Gu Immortals as well."

"Chu Du, Black Moon... they are the support pillars of strength path in the current world, undoubtedly."

The Gu Immortals sighed to themselves, at this point in the battle, be they Chu Du or Hei Lou Lan, they had earned the respect and recognition of everyone.

Such evenly matched opponents made the immortals even more excited to see the eventual winner.

"Awesome, this is really great." Chu Du had many bone fractures and his robe was dyed red, but he laughed heartily and expressed his excitement towards this battle.

Hei Lou Lan gritted her teeth and did not speak, she had gotten into a disadvantage once again.

The reason was still the difference in combat experience.

Chu Du was superior to Hei Lou Lan in every tiny detail. As they accumulated,they eventually affected the entire battle.

Hei Lou Lan tried all ways to regain her footing but the more she fought, the more tiny weaknesses she exposed, giving Chu Du even more opportunities to take advantage of.

"He was clearly hit by my seventy-percent expended strength, how can he still have such stamina?" Seeing that Chu Du was not getting tired, Hei Lou Lan could not help but feel a bit shocked.

Chu Du had outstanding strength, even though Hei Lou Lan was using her full strength, she could not take down Chu Du.

Currently, she could only hope that the effect of seventy-percent expended strength would tire Chu Du out.

But another ten or so rounds passed.

Before Chu Du even got tired, Hei Lou Lan was already completely at a disadvantage, the situation was dangerous!

Hei Lou Lan gritted her teeth secretly, she was not willing to fail. In this situation, she could only take a risk and try.

At the next moment, the dark capital strength biao growled and jumped towards Hei Lou Lan.

Hei Lou Lan advanced instead of moving aside, entering the dark capital strength biao's body in mid air.

With a flash of dark light, the dark capital strength biao shrank in size, turning into a half-beast half-man form, it became a layer of armor on Hei Lou Lan's body, it seemed like smoke or an illusion.

This was a higher level use of a totem killer move!

When the Gu Immortal combined with the totem, their battle strength would surge immensely!

"Chu Du, time to go down!" Hei Lou Lan shouted, the biao wings flapped, she instantly arrived before Chu Du.

Chu Du raised his arms.

Hei Lou Lan's iron fists landed on his arms, the huge force erupted like resounding thunder, the surrounding air was forced aside as Chu Du flew out uncontrollably towards the ground.

But Chu Du landed with both feet on the ground, creating a huge and long trench behind him. While he was still retreating, Hei Lou Lan suddenly appeared above him.

Boom!

There was another attack as Hei Lou Lan sent Chu Du flying to the ground again.

Bam bam bam...

Hei Lou Lan floated in the air, raining down fist shadows incessantly.

The ground shook as smoke appeared, her terrifying strength caused the spectators to turn pale.

"Lord Chu Du!"

"Godfather!!"

Chu tribe's Gu Immortals shouted loudly in worry.

Hei Lou Lan was too powerful now, she was almost dominating the scene, Chu Du had no way of retaliating.

"Enough... stop now, Black Moon." From the pit, Chu Du's voice could be heard as he spoke with difficulty.

But Hei Lou Lan did not listen to him, she continued to punch endlessly.

"Is Chu Du admitting defeat?" Wu Guang was excited as he spoke.

"Something is not right! Master seems to be in a weird state." Chen Cheng's expression changed.

Hearing this, everyone realized that Hei Lou Lan's gaze was like a wild beast, she seemed to have lost her reasoning, she could only control this killer move through her instincts to slaughter.

Chu tribe's Gu Immortals were all happy now.

"There is still hope!"

"Great. As long as first supreme elder gets through this, he will win!"

"This killer move is too powerful. If Fairy Black Moon's killer move activation fails, she might face a backlash and even lose her life."

But right at this moment, a figure flew out.

It was Chu Du!

But what Chu Du did next was out of everyone's expectations.

He had forcefully endured the rampaging attacks, disregarding his own life to approach Hei Lou Lan and place his arm on her shoulder.

A huge vibration force was emitted, Hei Lou Lan and the dark capital strength biao were separated.

Hei Lou Lan regained her senses and her pupils shrank immediately.

She was shocked to find out that her left fist had penetrated the right side of Chu Du's chest! But Chu Du used a method to save her and prevent her from suffering the immense backlash from her killer move.

"Why?" At once, Hei Lou Lan fell into deep confusion and disbelief.

But right at this moment, the dark capital strength biao's ferocity did not lower, it appeared behind Chu Du and bit harshly.

"Stop!" Hei Lou Lan shouted internally and willed to try to stop the dark capital strength biao.

In this situation, if Chu Du was hit by it, he would definitely die!

But the dark capital strength biao was not under Hei Lou Lan's control, it was incredibly fierce.

Right when Hei Lou Lan thought Chu Du was about to die, a surge of aura burst out of Chu Du's body.

His killer move was unleashed, the dark capital strength biao was sent flying from one attack.

The immortals were shocked!

"Rank, rank eight cultivation level?!"

"Chu Du became a rank eight Gu Immortal?"

"Our first supreme elder is rank eight? When did he advance?!"

Hei Lou Lan stared with wide eyes and looked fixedly at Chu Du: "Why?"

While speaking, she retracted her left hand from Chu Du's chest and placed it on his shoulder.

A killer move was activated by Hei Lou Lan, it was not an offensive killer move but a healing method instead.

Chu Du's expression was pale, he accepted her good intentions as he smiled: "Ever since you started challenging people, I started noticing you, Fairy Black Moon."

"Do you know? Even if you did not challenge me, I would issue you a challenge as well!"

"To have a fair battle!"

"Because... strength path has been silent for far too long."

"Your emergence made me really happy. Continue on this path, Black Moon."

"Revitalize strength path and let it shine gloriously again!"

Chu Du expressed his aspirations.

Looking at his dazzling eyes, Hei Lou Lan was silent.

The dark capital strength biao had returned after being repelled by Chu Du.

But now, Hei Lou Lan regained control of it.

The dark capital strength biao was heavily damaged, it went back onto Hei Lou Lan's skin.

Hei Lou Lan looked at Chu Du deeply before leaving.

Before departing, she said: "Chu Du, you have won this battle."

This battle that caused a commotion in Northern Plains' Gu Immortal ended in Chu Du's victory, but the exact outcome of this fight was far beyond everyone's expectations.

Once Chu Du displayed rank eight cultivation level, he became a higher-up in the Gu Immortal world, be they himself or Chu tribe, their reputation soared!

And in that intense battle, Chu Du first sealed his own cultivation level to fight against Fairy Black Moon as a rank seven. He then disregarded his own life to save her.

Such actions caused the neutral Gu Immortals to gain good feelings towards him. Even those who supported Fairy Black Moon like Yin Wu Que, Chen Cheng, and Wu Guang secretly felt admiration towards him.

After returning to Chu tribe, his god-children suggested to hold a celebratory banquet and invite the immortals, to make use of this result and elevate Chu tribe's status.

But Chu Du rejected it without second thought.

He was very low-profile regarding the result of this battle.

However, news that he became a rank eight Gu Immortal still caused a huge commotion in Northern Plains' current situation.

Days later, Heavenly Court and Longevity Heaven let out even more surprising news that shook the world.

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had revived successfully, while Gu Yue Fang Yuan had become a refinement path Demon Venerable!

The world was in an uproar, all the immortals were shocked.

-x-X-x-

Fang Yuan returned to Eastern Sea.

Under the setting sun, the surface of the sea was dyed red. Birds were chirping out loud, a warm sea breeze was blowing.

This place was some distance away from Eastern Sea's Xia clan, it was not considered close.

"This place will do." Fang Yuan quickly descended, landing on a relatively small deserted island.

Several investigative killer moves were activated, Fang Yuan had complete control over the island, he did not detect any threats or suspicious matters.

Fang Yuan directly took out the five regional limit formation.

Soon, five colored smoke mixed together and enveloped the island, before spreading towards the sky and sea.

If he were still rank eight, after escaping from Crazed Demon Cave, he would choose the headquarters of Eastern Sea's Xia clan, or go to immemorial white heaven in secret and hide himself to recuperate.

But Fang Yuan had rank nine cultivation level now, he was a venerable, he could do things openly without fear.

If Star Constellation Immortal Venerable or Giant Sun Immortal Venerable came to attack him now, Fang Yuan would be happy to see that happen.

Fang Yuan slowly shut his eyes as his divine sense peered into the sovereign immortal aperture.

He had already accumulated several beads of rank nine immortal essence.

Rank eight immortal essence was known as white litchi immortal essence, rank nine immortal essence was slightly larger and looked like an apricot, it was orange-yellow in color.

It was yellow apricot immortal essence!

Fang Yuan was familiar with the appearance of rank nine immortal essence since long ago, because he had obtained Giant Sun's immortal essence as well as Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's remaining immortal essence.

But now, he felt some surging emotions internally.

After all, this was his personal yellow apricot immortal essence!

Using the yellow apricot immortal essence, Fang Yuan activated a method!

Refinement path killer move — Refine Self!

A pale yellow light that was the size of a fist flowed out from the area near Fang Yuan's stomach. The yellow light flowed slowly around his entire body.

The emphasis was on Fang Yuan's injuries.

Fang Yuan had over a hundred injuries, most of them were only dealt with superficially while he was on the way back.

Even now, many of the wounds were still bleeding and covered in golden light or starlight specks, they were lingering on his bones, or his mashed up flesh.

As the pale yellow light appeared, all of the starlight and golden aurora was cleansed. This meant that the dao marks that Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable left on Fang Yuan's body were all refined by him.

But the process of refinement was not comfortable, an intense pain could be felt.

Fang Yuan's body was shivering, his expression turned pale, soon, sweat covered his forehead.

Eventually, the pale yellow light lingered on the area of Fang Yuan's detached arm. After an hour, the light faded away.

Fang Yuan let out a breath of air, he finally relaxed.

After resting for a moment, he immediately used a compound killer move, man as before.

At the next moment, his injuries were fully healed, his arm was also fully restored.

But when Fang Yuan exerted strength using that arm, he still felt a sense of weakness from it.

But this was already satisfactory to him.

Fang Yuan had severe injuries but Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable were also no better.

He was almost certain that their efficiency at healing injuries was lower than him.

Because Fang Yuan had the killer move refine self, this killer move could refine all of the dao marks on the Gu cultivator's body into their own. The origin of this move was the killer move that Fang Yuan once used, self cleansing.

Using this, in the battle of Crazed Demon Cave, Fang Yuan refined all of the dao marks of the flying star killer move, countering Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's consecutive move.

His physical injuries were healed, while his soul was at its peak condition, Fang Yuan started to resolve the matter of the sovereign immortal aperture.

The sovereign immortal aperture had a tribulation earlier because of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's killer move. At almost the same time, because of Fang Yuan's secret manipulation, he challenged the Heavenly Dao and endured the chaotic disaster.

The entire sovereign immortal aperture suffered huge losses, its foundation had fallen, compared to before the Crazed Demon Cave expedition, it had about twenty percent remaining.

It was simply in tatters, this was a pitiful sight.

"But I predicted that this would happen before the battle in Crazed Demon Cave, I prepared for it!"

Fang Yuan focused his mind, thoughts were expended, he activated another compound killer move — Landscape as Before.

The year essence pools and the sub-pools in various areas of the sovereign immortal aperture all opened their dams now.

The accumulated water of the River of Time formed into a vast silhouette under the effect of landscape as before, sweeping through the mini five regions as well as all the mini nine heavens.

The silhouette of the water of the River of Time soon receded entirely, but what remained were various resource points of mountains and rivers that were completely restored.

The Gu Immortals in the sovereign immortal aperture saw this sight and cheered loudly, their morale surged.

Fang Yuan lightly let out a breath of air.

Back then, when he created the year essence sub-pools and created time path areas, he had already prepared to use landscape as before for such a purpose.

After using this method, the water of the River of Time in the year essence pools was almost used up, the sovereign immortal aperture's time difference with the outside world also fell greatly.

A considerable amount of time was needed, until the year essence pools could gather enough water of the River of Time to accelerate the sovereign immortal aperture's time again.

At this point, forty percent of the sovereign immortal aperture's foundation had just been restored.

Which meant that the sovereign immortal aperture only had forty percent in total of losses remaining, this greatly reduced the time, energy, and resources needed to reconstruct his foundation.

The forty percent of losses were created by the chaotic disaster.

Even landscape as before was not useful for this. The Gu Immortals that died from the chaotic disaster were also not able to revive through Human Sea.

He had a lot of other losses as well.

The immortal essence expenditure was huge, he once had a vast amount of rank eight immortal essence, but now, he had about ten percent left, it was way below the safety margin, he was in a dangerous state.

This was also why Fang Yuan stopped and did not continue fighting against Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.

But the good news was, as a venerable, Fang Yuan produced yellow apricot immortal essence, it was much more useful than white litchi immortal essence.

The bad news was, rank eight Immortal Gu Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus that once helped Fang Yuan greatly in terms of immortal essence storage became much less useful now.

At the same time, because the sovereign immortal aperture's time slowed greatly, Fang Yuan's immortal essence production speed was not high.

During this period of time, Fang Yuan needed to rest and manage his immortal essence, he also had to refine the natural dao marks of the outside world, he would need a lot of immortal essence.

"The lack of immortal essence is huge, while immortal essence stones are barely useful to me anymore."

"If I ignore everything and raise the sovereign immortal aperture's rate of time to the limit, that will not work either!" Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

Venerables faced a grand tribulation every ten years, a myriad tribulation every fifty years, and a chaotic disaster every one hundred years.

Unless they were dream path, pill path and so on, grand tribulations and myriad tribulations were no threat to Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan was only wary about the chaotic disasters every one hundred years.

Even though he had already gone through one chaotic disaster in Crazed Demon Cave.

That was only the Heavenly Dao blockade, it was far weaker than the chaotic disasters that would occur every one hundred years!

If the sovereign immortal aperture's time was too fast, Fang Yuan would quickly have to face the chaotic disaster, if he got heavily injured in the process, or even near the point of death, the other venerables would take advantage of the chance.

The replenishment of immortal essence was a problem, other than this, Fang Yuan also lost a large number of Immortal Gu.

In the first parts of the Crazed Demon Cave fight, after Gu Immortals died, Fang Yuan did not retrieve their Immortal Gu or immortal apertures.

In fact, the seven Immortal Gu Houses that Fang Yuan took out in Crazed Demon Cave, including Rising Cloud City, were all lost as well.

Fang Yuan's losses were so severe that no super force in the world barring Heavenly Court and Longevity Heaven could afford to endure them.

Thankfully, in the later parts of the Crazed Demon Cave fight, Fang Yuan purposely reduced his losses in this aspect. For example, when Zhan Bu Du died, the will that he left behind sent many of his precious transformation path Immortal Gu into treasure yellow heaven.

Other than Immortal Gu and immortal essence, many Gu Immortals died as well.

Steel Rush Warrior, Frost Butterfly Warrior, Xiao He Jian, Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch, and even Fang Yuan's clone Zhan Bu Du, they had all died in Crazed Demon Cave. There were also those who died in the sovereign immortal aperture when they defended against the tribulations.

Most of them were revived through Human Sea, they had to re-cultivate to become immortal again.

There was also a group of them who could not be revived. Among them was the old Combat Beast King, a rank eight Gu Immortal.

Even Fang Yuan felt that it was a pity.

This old man had worked laboriously without complaint, he made great contributions towards the sovereign immortal aperture. But he was killed by the black fire, Fang Yuan could not revive him.

Other than these material losses, Fang Yuan also had some hidden losses.

Most importantly, he exposed too many killer moves.

In the Crazed Demon Cave battle, Fang Yuan had no choice but to expose many of his compound killer moves, as well as trump cards like refine self, totem killer moves, and others.

For a long time, these killer moves could not be used, they needed to be modified.

When he fights against the venerables in the future, if he were to use these killer moves without modification, Fang Yuan would be taking a huge risk.

But compared to his losses, Fang Yuan's gains were much higher!

In the Crazed Demon Cave battle, Fang Yuan had immense gains, he was undeniably the biggest winner out of everyone!!

Firstly, Fang Yuan ransacked the first seven layers and obtained a vast amount of chaotic dao mark immortal materials.

In the eighth layer of Crazed Demon Cave, he used Thieves Den to gain a vast amount of rank nine immortal materials. These rank nine immortal materials were enough for him to try to refine a rank nine Immortal Gu.

The second thing was Primordial Domain.

Fang Yuan had about the same amount of the Primordial Domain as Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, which was slightly less than Star Constellation Immortal Venerable.

Primordial Domain was extremely valuable, especially for Fang Yuan.

The third thing was Paradise Earth's Northern Plains true inheritance, as well as his heaven path cultivation experiences. These included the method to digest truthful floating ice and raise one's own heaven path cultivation level.

The fourth was information.

After the battle of Crazed Demon Cave, Fang Yuan gained an in-depth understanding of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, as well as the Heavenly Court and Longevity Heaven that they belonged to!

He was no longer kept in the dark like before.

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's methods, their combat systems, as well as Heavenly Court's Door of Life and Death immortal graveyard, Transient White Cloud City Suppression painting path formation, Ruan Dan's pill path, Longevity Heaven's Eight Extremities formation, Calamity Luck Altar's luck changing golden light path, and others.

The fifth gain was also Fang Yuan's greatest gain.

His cultivation level rose to become venerable level.

This was a peak qualitative change!

From now onwards, he went from a chess piece to a player, he could openly plot against the world and rule over the five regions.

The history of humanity and variant humans would have no choice but to remember his name.

At this point, he stood on the same plane as the ten predecessors, he was like a sun that shone throughout the ages. All other Gu Immortals, regardless of their heroism or talent, were mere stars in the sky.

Gu Yue Fang Yuan!

The eleventh venerable of the Gu cultivator world.

A demonic cultivator who became venerable through refinement path.

According to Heavenly Court and Longevity Heaven, his title was —

Heaven Refining Demon Venerable!
