Chapter 2337 - Derivation Gu

Giant Sun snorted coldly as he moved his monstrous body towrads Heavenly Court.

Star Constellation has already set up hundreds upon hundreds of defensive formations. She watched coldly as Giant Sun's enormous arms approached her.

Nine heavenly pillars appeared beside Star Constellation as they rotated around her rapidly.

Boom!

Giant Sun's golden palm slammed into the first layer of Star Constellation's defenses. The formations trembled, but did not collapse. Layers of star path barriers formed a cocoon around Heavenly Court, each one flickering with a different light.

Star Constellation's eyes narrowed as her starlight intensified. She focused entirely on defense.

Deep within the core of Heavenly Court, the fourth aura surged like a sleeping dragon waking up from its ancient slumber. It reverberated through the heavens, shaking the very foundations of Heavnely Court. The clouds parted above Heavenly Court as Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable's aura continued to erupt.

In that moment, all the Venerables paused.

Fang Yuan's eyes flickered with sharp light.

"So he's truly awakening. The balance is breaking… No! There is still a chance."

Far away, Spectral Soul was locked in combat with Star Constellation's clone. The clone burned like a star, its every move calculated to trigger his aggression while maintaining distance.

Spectral Soul roared as his body distorted, there were several deep wounds on his body. Even though he was consuming soul beasts to recover, Star Constellation's clone was attacking forcefully and stopping Spectral Soul from recovering completely.

He had become a raging flame which was slowly losing its fuel.

Suddenly, the sky twisted above Heavenly Court as a giant red lotus appeared before the three venerables.

The red lotus gradually bloomed as a young man came out of it. He was extremely handsome and had an aura of dominance around him.

[Ik RLDV sounds a bit too glazed but bear with it.]

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable took a step back, golden light retreating to his body.

Giant Sun looked at Red Lotus Demon Venerable's clone and snorted coldly.

"A mere clone dares to interfere in this battle?"

Red Lotus' clone smiled lightly as he looked a Fang Yuan and said: "So you've become a venerable too."

Fang Yuan smiled coldly at him as he used a killer move.

"Finger blade!" Fang Yuan shouted in his mind as he ponted his index finger towards Red Lotus' clone.

[I know my naming skills are otherworldly.]

Swoosh!

A short theard flew out of Fang Yuan's finger as it quickly pierced into Red Lotus.

The thread tore into Red Lotus' flesh as petals of lotus flowed out of his injuries.

It couldn't be helped.

Red Lotus had already been preparing a killer move for a long time. If he were to cancel it at a crucial moment, then all his efforts would go into vain.

Red Lotus flew towards Spectral Soul at a horrying speed as his body disassembled into countless beautiful red petals.

Fang Yuan and the other two venerables quickly attacked him but the giant red lotus acted as a meat shield and blocked most of the attacks.

Roar!

Spectral Soul growled out loudly as he tried to stop Red Lotus from going into his skin. But the more petals that flew into Spectral Soul's body, the more calmer and rational he became.

"Hmph!" Fang Yuan snorted coldly as he exploded all of the star path dao marks that he had refined on Spectral Soul's body.

Boom!

Several horrifying explosions occured as Spectral Soul's body was scattering everywhere from the explosion. But Spectral Soul quickly devoured all of his flesh that flew away and regained his most of his former apperance.

But there was something different about him now. His blood red eyes didn't look sinister and his growling became less fierce.

Swish swish!

Countless number of soul beasts came out of Spectral Soul and quickly surrounded him from all directions. If one looked from above, they'd see a sea of fierce soul beasts.

Spectral Soul's size was gradually shrinking as he started to gain a humanoid form!

"Giant Sun, what are you waiting for? Even Spectral Soul has started to regain his sanity! If we don't eliminate Fang Yuan out of this competition, we might get defeated instead!" Star Constellation transmitted to him with an urging tone.

"Hmph! Fang Yuan's main focus is Heavenly Court. Why should I help you to deal with him when it's beneficial to me to watch as a bystander?" Giant Sun said as several golden pillars appeared before him and crashed towards Spectral Soul.

"I can't use all of Heavenly Court's dao marks unless my clone comes back! (Star Constellation's clone has 40% of the original body's power). If I want to maintain this defensive formation, i must get Giant Sun's help!"

[I know that these actions seem pretty abnormal but out of all the venerables, i struggle to write Star Constellation the most. That's why I can't write much about Wisdom path's abilities in chaotic situations. I apologise for my incompetence.]

Star Constellation gritted her teeth in anger.

"Speak. What do you want?"

Giant Sun gave a light smile as he said "All of Heavenly Court's blood path research results and Immortal Gu reipes."

Star Constellation clenched her fists in anger as she agreed to Giant Sun's request.

"I'll repay this grudge tenfold!" Star Constellation soon gained her resolution as she looked at Giant Sun and Fang Yuan who were fighting Spectral Soul with an eerie gaze.

Fang Yuan noticed this as he turned towards Star Constellation and crashed towards Heavenly Court.

Seeing this, Star Constellation's clone cursed in her mind as she tried to stop Fang Yuan from advancing. She was about to prepare a killer move when suddenly a white centipede flew rapidly towrads her.

Crack crack

The centipede drilled into her head but she ignored it and maniacally set up defensive formations around Heavenly Court. Her body gradually turned into profound starlight as it returned to Heavenly Court. The white centipede was left floating in the air.

Star Constellation let out a breath of tubrid air as she thought: "I need to lure anyway Spectral Soul and Fang Yuan from Heavenly Court."

Seeing Star Constellation still seting up defensive formations, Fang Yuan heaved a long sigh as he used a killer move.

"Endless Soul Reversion!" Fang Yuan called out as a crack appeared beside him and a long, narrow river started to flow out from the crack. The water was deep black in colour and it had the faces of countless horrifying soul beasts.

"Endless Soul Reversion uses the three secluded domains of heaven and earth - Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po Valley and Reverse Flow River as the cores and 15 rank 8 Gu worms as supplementary, (including more than 1.5 million mortal Gu as supplementary). It still has room for development but i lacked the time to deduce the better version." Fang Yuan evaluted in his mind as he look at the river which had already begun breaking

Heavenly Court's immortal formations.

Seeing this, Star Constellation felt a chill in her heart as she tried to stop the river from breaking more defensive formations. But it was useless; she had to constantly keep an eye out on Fang Yuan, Giant Sun and Spectral Soul and had to protect Primodial Origin's incomplete body.

The river rapidly corroded all of the formations.

Star Constellation heaved a deep sigh and put all of Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals and Immortal Gu Houses and went to the place where Primodial Origin's revival was taking place.

Starlight glowed out brightly as it quickly enveloped the surroundings. The starlight quickly condensed into a dot as it flew away and hid itself.

Star Constellation had used a battlefield killer move and hid herself (and Primodial Origin) in the battlefield killer move.

Fang Yuan ignored her and went towards a certain place in Heavenly Court. This place was covered with mist that seemed endless.

It was the derivation formation.

Fang Yuan quickly used the killer move Heavenly Protection Veil on himself over 3 times and broke the derivation formation. Star Constellation had put up some traps but Fang Yuan destroyed them all. Once the formation was broken, Fang Yuan saw a rank nine Gu at the centre of the formation. It was the derivation Gu!

[I know it feels like Fang Yuan got this Gu way too easily but the following battles will be able to balance Fang Yuan's gains and losses to some extent.]

Far away, alarms rang in Gaint Sun's mind as he quickly left Spectral Soul and flew towards Heavenly Court. But it was too late; Fang Yuan had already kept all the Gu worms in his aperture.

Giant Sun forced himself a smile and asked "Friend Fang Yuan, did you purposely leave me behind so that you can reap all the benefits?"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly but did not reply.

Giant Sun was extremely angry.

Of course he would be!

He had noticed a grave danger to in his luck a long time ago but he wasn't sure which of the venerables were posing the threat to him; that's why he was only fighting lightly with Spectral Soul. Even though he was pretty close to Heavnely Court, he couldn't reach there in time because he had sensed the derivation Gu's aura a second too late.

"What kind of defensive killer move is Fang Yuan using? How can it block nearly all of my investigative methods?" Giant Sun pondered as he stared at the empty space left behind by the formation.

The reason Giant Sun was unable to sense it was because Fang Yuan had hid almost all of the aura with the help of Heavenly Protection Veil.

Star Constellation had already noticed the change of events as she sighed in her mind: "I had tried to save the formation many times but Fang Yuan didn't even let me get close to the formation. How did he know of derivation Gu's existence? Is there really a traitor among the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals?" Star Constellation pondered and shook her head slightly.

"It is most likely Heaven's will."

Fang Yuan didn't hesitate. He instantly retreated, flying across space as dozens of phantom shadows trailed behind him; they were all decoys, layers of concealment and spatial distortions which were all overlapping.

Spit!

Fang Yuan suddenly spat out a fireball which was blue in colour.

The eerie fire ball landed on the ground and the fire quickly spread all over Heavenly Court.

Wherever the fire went, the wisdom path dao and star path dao marks were corroded and became chaotic.
