Chapter 1142: 100 Percent Transformation

Lv Zhu retorted discontentedly, "He's my husband, and you can't tell him what to do!"

The Space Giant King snorted, "Asura King A Zhu, get your facts straight!"

"I'm doing this for the good of the Ancient Giants!"

This remark seemed to hit a nerve with Lv Zhu.

She narrowed her crystal-like eyes, and a dangerous glint sparked within them.

The aura of a two-crowned Asura King, far superior to that of the Space Giant King, emanated outwards.

"What situation am I in, exactly?"

"Why don't you enlighten me?"

The Space Giant King's expression flickered, and he hastily replied:

"I mean no harm, Asura King A Zhu, please don't be angry."

"If you don't want him to come, then he won't. I'll approach you instead."

Only then did Lv Zhu's oppressive aura recede.

The Space Giant King secretly breathed a sigh of relief, having nearly forgotten that certain topics were taboo for Lv Zhu and best left unmentioned.

He untied his own pocket.

From it, he pulled out a Nascent Soul expert from the Central Lands.

Before the expert could even register what was happening, the Space Giant King tossed him into the blood pool.

Jiang Fan watched, his heart aching with sympathy.

He could already imagine the desperate screams of his fellow human.

To his surprise, however,

The human Nascent Soul expert, upon falling into the blood pool, didn't even utter a sound before sinking directly beneath the surface.

The very next moment,

The blood pool suddenly erupted in a towering wave of blood.

A ten-zhang-tall Ancient Giant rose from within!

Its massive eyes were filled with negative emotions: ferocity, bloodlust, greed, and cunning.

Jiang Fan was stunned.

"Did it actually succeed?"

Lv Zhu gasped in astonishment, "It succeeded on the first try?"

"Is this just a coincidence?"

Jiang Fan felt a surge of unease and asked,

"Wife, what do you mean?"

Lv Zhu explained, somewhat perplexed, "The conversion rate of the Ancient Heavenly Pit is extremely low."

"Even ten Nascent Soul-stage Asuras might not yield a single successful Ancient Giant conversion."

"Yet this human Nascent Soul converted instantly."

Jiang Fan's heart dropped when he heard this.

All things considered,

This was the first time in a thousand years that a human had been thrown into the Ancient Heavenly Pit.

For the first attempt to succeed was alarming.

This was not a good sign at all.

Could it be that humans have a hundred percent conversion rate?

If that were true, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the Central Lands.

Because Ancient Giants could capture human Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators alive and convert them into their own kind.

This would mean a terrifying shift in power.

How could humanity possibly fight back?

The Space Giant King also grasped this possibility, his face alight with excitement.

He even forgot to observe Jiang Fan's reaction.

He grabbed another human and tossed them into the blood pool.

What made Jiang Fan's heart sink to rock bottom was this:

It succeeded again!

Lv Zhu's jaw dropped in disbelief. "Why can your human race be converted with one hundred percent success?"

"Could it be that humans share some hidden connection with the blood in this pool, allowing for perfect compatibility?"

The Space Giant King, meanwhile, seemed to have stumbled upon a monumental secret.

He let out a cry of ecstasy: "Heaven bless the Ancient Giants!"

"Humans can be converted into Ancient Giants with one hundred percent success!"

"Hahahaha!"

"I must inform the Five-Star Giant King immediately!"

"This is truly astonishing news that could change the history of our Southern Heaven Realm!"

He was beside himself, too excited to contain his joy.

Jiang Fan, in contrast, felt his heart sink to rock bottom.

He recalled the Heavenly Oracle Master's despairing lament when he first saw the sky-reaching black pillar:

"Heaven is not on our side."

Now,

Jiang Fan felt the same sense of despair.

This Ancient Heavenly Pit was quite simply the source of the Central Lands' destruction!

Furthermore, with this astonishing discovery, the Ancient Heavenly Pit would undoubtedly be heavily guarded from now on, leaving no opportunity for its destruction.

Lv Zhu cast a sympathetic glance at Jiang Fan.

She thought to herself, "The Central Lands are doomed this time."

She pulled Jiang Fan away, saying, "Husband, let's move aside."

Jiang Fan dared not show any unusual expression, following her to a secluded spot.

He still held onto a sliver of hope.

Perhaps the only hope was to ally with the Asura tribe of the Southern Heaven Realm.

And Lv Zhu, who stood before him, didn't seem entirely allied with the Ancient Giants.

His gaze shifted as he asked, "Wife, why do they create these Ancient Giants?"

Lv Zhu took Jiang Fan's hand, feeling a sense of relief that he had lost his memory.

He wouldn't understand how cruel this revelation was for the Central Lands.

She replied, "To invade a place called the Central Lands."

Jiang Fan then asked, "Will you be going with them?"

Lv Zhu shook her head without hesitation. "No, I won't."

"They're going to devour people. I'm merely helping them guard the Black Sun Royal Court to prevent any sneak attacks from the Asura tribe."

Jiang Fan pondered, "Wife, aren't you also an Asura?"

"Why are you allied with the Ancient Giants?"

Lv Zhu frowned.

Clearly, she disliked discussing this topic.

When the Space Giant King had brought it up earlier, she had been on the verge of turning hostile.

But since it was Jiang Fan asking, she could understand.

After all, Jiang Fan was an outsider and knew nothing of her past.

After a moment's hesitation, she said, "I didn't want this either."

"My own village couldn't tolerate me. To survive, I came to the Black Sun Royal Court seeking refuge."

Jiang Fan was secretly astonished.

What kind of village was so powerful that it had more than one Asura King?

The Ancient Giants' century-long great hunts hadn't managed to destroy them, allowing them to grow and prosper to such an extent.

It must be that their village was located within a very special ruin.

The Ancient Giants found it difficult to invade.

He asked, "Is the archenemy you mentioned also from your village?"

Lv Zhu nodded, a sharp glint in her eyes. "Yes."

"She constantly targeted me, trying countless times to drive me out of the village."

"This time I made a mistake, and she seized the opportunity to try and execute me."

"So I fled."

"And as a bonus, I stole her Hell Abyss Crystal."

This was roughly what Jiang Fan had expected.

Jiang Fan asked out of curiosity, "What mistake did you make?"

He found it hard to understand. A two-crowned Asura King should have been a powerful asset to the village.

Why would they even consider executing her?

Lv Zhu sighed, a hint of exasperation in her voice. "We captured a Dark Asura princess."

"This princess could have provided our village with an opportunity for a breakthrough to the Asura Emperor rank."

"She was under my personal guard."

"But, she unexpectedly escaped from my grasp."

An Asura Emperor?

Jiang Fan was secretly taken aback.

That's equivalent to the Great Sage realm in the Central Lands!

Was a Dark Asura princess really that valuable?

Wait a moment!

Jiang Fan suddenly remembered something.

If he recalled correctly, wasn't the Asura woman who fell from the sky near White Horse Temple also from the Dark Asura clan?

Hua Xin had explicitly mentioned it.

The Dark Asura clan of the Hell Realm was extinct.

She harbored a deep hatred for that clan.

Could it be that the Asura princess who escaped from Lv Zhu was the very same one imprisoned in White Horse Temple?

This princess could enable an Asura King to ascend to the Asura Emperor rank?

This information was quite explosive.

As expected, nothing that fell from the sky was ever simple.
