Fang Yuan teleported to the resting place of the Giant Sun Will. The surroundings were pure white, serene and silent, with a massive radiant orb floating at the center—a blazing golden sphere resembling a miniature sun. Inside it, the Giant Sun Will slumbered in apparent peace.
If Fang Yuan were to use an Immortal Gu or any Gu from this distance, it would immediately alert the Giant Sun Will. But she wasn't worried—because before that could happen, the will would already be devoured.
How would Fang Yuan devour such a powerful remnant will, you ask? The answer lay in a Gu called Dream Devourer Gu. Though only a Rank 6 Gu for now, it possessed a terrifying function—it could consume dreams, wills, and remnant souls, absorbing the attainments, path comprehension, and lingering thoughts embedded within.
Even at Rank 6, its ability to digest and process the mental fragments of powerful figures made it extraordinarily useful. And Fang Yuan was prepared to use it to devour Giant Sun's will—piece by piece—before it could ever awaken.
Fang Yuan used her Rank 6 Dream Devourer Gu by guiding her beautiful, soft hands toward the Giant Sun Will, which glowed like a miniature sun within its protective sphere. Her hand slowly passed through the golden barrier, gently touching the core where the will resided. She avoided using any other Gu at this point, knowing that the shield only activated in response to killing intent or malicious thought.
But Fang Yuan had mastered control over her emotions and suppressed all hostile intent, allowing her to pass through the shield without triggering it.
She reached the heart of the will and activated the Dream Devourer Gu—dark energy swirled at her palm as a miniature black hole began to form.
However, the moment her Dream Devourer Gu touched the will's essence, the slumbering Giant Sun Will suddenly stirred. The radiant orb trembled violently as ancient, divine consciousness surged forth. Blinding beams of golden light erupted, one after another, roaring through the air like divine punishment.
Fang Yuan's eyes sharpened. With graceful fluidity, she spun mid-air, her robes trailing behind her like comet tails as she narrowly evaded the first destructive beam. The very air quivered with each blast, creating shockwaves that cracked space around her.
More beams followed in rapid succession, each one carrying the condensed wrath of a Venerable's will. One nearly grazed her shoulder, searing a streak of flesh. She gritted her teeth and kicked off the air, launching herself upward, flipping mid-flight as she reoriented the black hole surging in her palm.
The Dream Devourer Gu shrieked in resonance, spinning faster and faster, a vortex of void essence devouring fragments of the will. From the golden orb, tendrils of blazing energy extended like sun flares, lashing toward her with the speed of lightning.
"Too late to wake up now," she growled, spinning sideways to dodge, her body shimmering with dream-path illusions that split her form into afterimages.
The Giant Sun Will bellowed, its voice no longer passive—it was awake now, enraged and struggling. The orb crackled as it compressed itself into a titanic golden giant, its fists forming from pure light. One came crashing down like a divine hammer.
Fang Yuan's figure blurred—she accelerated using movement techniques derived from time-path, narrowly evading the blow as the floor beneath her shattered into golden fragments. She rebounded off a collapsing platform of dream-stuff, flipped over the golden giant's shoulder, and extended her palm again.
The Dream Devourer Gu responded, its pull deepening. The golden giant screamed as more of its essence was devoured. In response, it launched a counter—its chest opened like a blooming sun, firing a beam straight from its core.
Fang Yuan's silhouette dissolved into a mist of shadows, reappearing above the beam's arc. But this time, she didn't rely on dream-path alone.
She summoned her Strength Path Gu, and her muscles bulged with condensed might. She struck the golden beam with a counter-punch using the Crushing Mountain Palm, shattering the radiance mid-air.
The will roared again and conjured a field of blazing suns around her—each sun pulsing with destructive energy. But Fang Yuan laughed coldly and unleashed Thousand-Arm Rampage Gu, her body multiplying phantom limbs that struck at every sun simultaneously. Shockwaves rippled as the stars were obliterated in a ring of force.
The golden giant lunged again. This time, Fang Yuan leapt and twisted in mid-air, bringing her knee upward and activating Void Spine Crusher Gu—the impact collided directly with the will's neck, cracking it with a thunderous snap.
The will staggered, its light dimming as the Dream Devourer Gu spiraled faster. Fang Yuan's palm widened, forming a cyclone of darkness that dragged the collapsing will inward.
With a final roar of divine resistance, the giant's core imploded.
Fang Yuan hovered above the fading battlefield, her palm glowing with the essence of the devoured will.
She took the glowing orbs of condensed attainment into her mouth and swallowed them whole. Silence fell.
