Chapter 2791: Escape

An ancient giant in the late Integration stage. This spells trouble.

The Silver-Horned Rhinoceros's body plummeted towards the ground. Its single horn unleashed a dazzling silver light, but it was to no avail; its body continued its rapid descent. The Silver-Horned Rhinoceros's massive body crashed onto the ground, creating a huge crater. It attempted to use an Earth Evasion Art to escape, but a yellow spiritual light surged from the ground, rendering the technique seemingly ineffective.

A colossal rhinoceros phantom appeared high in the sky. From its eyes, two beams of yellow light shot out, striking towards the ancient giant's palm. The ancient giant's palm radiated a dazzling yellow glow. The two yellow light beams made contact with this radiance and vanished without a trace. The rhino phantom then unleashed a silver sound wave. In its wake, the void tore open, revealing long, thick cracks. The ancient giant's palm was unstoppable; the silver sound wave was instantly shattered. The massive palm then slapped onto the rhino phantom, which let out a desperate roar before its body disintegrated into specks of spiritual light.

With its Dharma Idol shattered, the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros let out a painful roar, its body trembling slightly. It was completely restrained, utterly unable to move. The ancient giant's palm descended with a thunderous roar. The ground tore open, massive fissures appearing as the earth within a hundred-mile radius exploded, filling the air with dust.

Simultaneously, Wang Changsheng and the other four rapidly plummeted towards the ground, their bodies feeling incredibly heavy. A strong blue light emanated from Wang Changsheng's body, accompanied by cracking sounds from his bones, his brow furrowed. Song Yunlong, Xue Ji, and Liu Qingfeng's faces turned beet red, spiritual light flickering around their bodies. Niu Pan directly transformed into a colossal golden ox, adorned with silver spiritual patterns on its body.

A ripple spread in front of Xue Ji, and a massive, hazy yellow fist flashed out, striking towards her. Xue Ji reacted quickly, swiftly conjuring a white, shimmering shield to block in front of her. With a muffled thud, the yellow giant fist struck the white shield. The shield flew backward, hitting Xue Ji, who also flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. A thick yellow beam of light then struck the white shield. The shield rapidly petrified, and Xue Ji also began to petrify. Countless yellow earthen spears flew towards them, piercing Xue Ji and the petrified shield until they resembled sieves. Hundreds of miles away, a white cold wind swept through the void, and Xue Ji reappeared, her face pale and her eyes filled with terror.

By this time, the dust had settled, revealing a huge pit in the ground. The Silver-Horned Rhinoceros had already been flattened into a pulp by the ancient giant. Wang Changsheng and the other four could not eliminate the mutated Silver-Horned Rhinoceros quickly, yet the ancient giant killed it with ease. This was not surprising, as even the late-Integration-stage cultivators specifically trained by the Xuanqing Sect were no match for ancient giants. While they were pursuing the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros, Wang Changsheng had already used his divine sense to investigate but found nothing unusual. It seemed the ancient giant's concealment art was formidable, allowing it to blend perfectly with the terrain.

Ancient giants typically possessed low intelligence and were inherently ferocious, prone to devouring anything without discrimination. There were also strong and weak ancient giants; the one they encountered was clearly a more powerful one, capable of instantly eliminating a seventh-tier high-grade Silver-Horned Rhinoceros with a single strike.

Liu Qingfeng found it difficult to even take a single step, let alone cast spells to attack the ancient giant. The Golden Ox spewed out a beam of golden light. After flying high into the sky, it transformed into a massive golden thundercloud, hovering high above. After the golden thundercloud violently churned, tens of thousands of thick golden lightning bolts struck down. The dense golden lightning bolts continuously struck the ancient giant, emitting a series of tremendous explosions, and dazzling golden lightning engulfed its body.

A burst of dazzling yellow light flared up as the golden lightning dispersed. The ancient giant's body was somewhat charred, but after a yellow light radiated from its body, it returned to normal. Wang Changsheng took a deep breath, activated the Nine Revolutions Divine Cultivation Technique to double his divine sense, and let out a loud shout. Liu Qingfeng's body trembled slightly, his brow furrowed, his face filled with disbelief at the power of Wang Changsheng's divine sense. Song Yunlong and the other two's faces turned pale, and they simultaneously let out a miserable cry. The ancient giant was also not doing well; its body trembled slightly as the yellow light on the ground dispersed.

Seizing this opportunity, a brilliant spiritual light burst from the bodies of Wang Changsheng and the other four, transforming into five streaks of escape light, fleeing in different directions. At this point, it was a matter of who had the best luck.

Wang Changsheng was enveloped by a mass of blue seawater, his eyes filled with terror. A woman's desperate scream rang out, startling Wang Changsheng. Just as he was about to accelerate his escape, ripples appeared in the void above his head, and a massive, hazy yellow hand materialized out of thin air, striking towards him. Simultaneously, a powerful gravitational force emerged from the ground, causing his body to plummet rapidly. Wang Changsheng reacted quickly; a brilliant blue light burst from his body. When the massive yellow hand struck him, his body transformed into countless droplets of blue seawater.

Hundreds of miles away, countless droplets of blue seawater surged forth in the void, suddenly coalescing to reform Wang Changsheng's figure. Almost simultaneously with his reappearance, a whooshing sound echoed as a vast array of yellow staff shadows descended from the sky, obscuring the heavens, as if to smash him into a pulp. His body felt incredibly heavy; it was difficult to even move a single step, let alone evade the dense barrage of staff shadows. Wang Changsheng chanted an incantation, and a colossal humanoid phantom appeared high in the sky. His Dharma Form had been condensed by seven-tenths, and he had used up all the Nether River Water he possessed. The humanoid phantom moved its arms, meeting the yellow staff shadows. With a thunderous roar, the yellow staff shadows were blocked by the humanoid phantom. The ancient giant held a long yellow staff in its hand, and dazzling yellow light pulsed from its palm.

By this time, Liu Qingfeng and the other two were already tens of thousands of miles away. Xue Ji had met with disaster. Wang Changsheng conjured the Soul-Shaking Gong, infused it with an incantation, and a loud gong strike resounded. Hearing this sound, the ancient giant swayed unsteadily, letting out a painful roar. Wang Changsheng chanted an incantation, and a brilliant golden light erupted from his body. Just then, a massive, hazy yellow hand materialized out of thin air, striking towards him. The massive yellow hand struck Wang Changsheng, sending him flying backward, his expression blank and completely lifeless. A gust of wind swept by, and Wang Changsheng vanished.

Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell!

This was his first time using this secret technique, and the effect was quite good. Tens of thousands of miles away, in a vast expanse of green bamboo forest, a golden light flared high in the sky, and Wang Changsheng reappeared, his face pale. He had used the Nine Revolutions Divine Cultivation Technique and now Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell. His divine sense and spiritual power were severely depleted; he urgently needed to find a place to hide and recover from his weakened state. Wang Changsheng expanded his divine sense and flew into the bamboo forest.

A short while later, Wang Changsheng appeared inside a hidden underground cave. The stone walls emitted a faint yellow glow, clearly indicating a protective formation. The Two-Eyed Rat lay on the ground, its plump body curled into a ball, not disturbing Wang Changsheng's rest. If enemies were to attack him during his weakened state, the Two-Eyed Rat could still lead him to safety. Once his weakened state passed, it wouldn't be too late to leave this place.
