Chapter 1149: Five-Star Giant King

Jiang Fan's heart sank. His heart abruptly skipped a beat. A suffocating sense of despair washed over him.

The pressure from the Three-Star Giant King was overwhelming. He made no move, yet the invisible aura he projected paralyzed Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan clutched the crystal tightly, unable to move a single finger.

How could he even think of throwing the crystal at him?

A trickle of cold sweat ran down his forehead. He tried to regain control of his body, but the Three-Star Giant King wouldn't give him time.

While its enormous vertical eye stared fiercely at them, a hand reached out, grabbing for the two.

In that critical moment, the Green Pearl in his arms spoke with difficulty, "Forget self, forget spirit, forget being!"

As soon as she spoke, a look of confusion flashed in the Three-Star Giant King's eyes, and the hand reaching for them paused. The terrifying aura that had been oppressing Jiang Fan also vanished.

Jiang Fan regained his ability to move. Without any hesitation, he decisively threw the crystal in his hand into the giant's enormous navel.

The moment it made contact, the Three-Star Giant King roared in pain. The holy light from the crystal rapidly dispelled the dark emotions within his body. His sixty-foot body quickly shriveled and collapsed. Then, with a crash, it transformed into a huge, blood-stained, wrinkled hide lying on the ground.

Jiang Fan's heart pounded wildly. That was truly a close call! Fortunately, Green Pearl acted in time, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He looked down, a smile on his face, "My wife is still the best."

Green Pearl, however, frowned slightly and asked, "Husband, how did you know that the Saint's Crystal Sheath could transform the Three-Star Giant King back into an Asura?"

Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat! He had been so focused on dealing with the Three-Star Giant King that he'd forgotten about this. As someone who had lost his memory, he shouldn't have known these things! Fortunately, his mind worked quickly.

He immediately replied, "I just witnessed Asura King Ari using this crystal to fight the mysterious creature in the blood pool. Therefore, I guessed that this crystal could suppress dark negative emotions. I tried it just in case, and to my surprise, it worked exactly as I expected."

Was that true? Green Pearl recalled that when Jiang Fan had his memories, he was remarkably clever and resourceful. It was entirely normal for him to show quick thinking in a life-or-death crisis.

She looked at Jiang Fan and praised him sincerely, "My husband is truly clever."

Rip!

Suddenly, the huge hide was torn open by a black spear. Zhuri stood up, clutching the spear. His body trembled slightly, indicating weakness. Clearly, undergoing two transformations in succession had severely depleted him. Even so, killing Jiang Fan and the extremely weak Green Pearl would be effortless for him!

He raised his spear, pointing it remotely at Green Pearl. But when his gaze swept to Jiang Fan, he lowered it. Although he had just transformed into the Three-Star Giant King, he still remembered what had happened. If not for Jiang Fan, he would have been completely doomed.

"Considering your husband saved my life, I'll spare you this once. But only this once! Next time we meet, I will still kill you. My elder sister will kill you too!"

After speaking, he dug out the Saint's Crystal Sheath from his navel, which had turned completely black and crumbled into fragments. He murmured with a pained expression, "The Saint's Crystal Sheath that the patriarch sacrificed his life to obtain is just gone, like that. Fortunately, the guardian of the blood pool has been successfully eliminated. Now it's time to destroy this blood pool that has plagued my Asura tribe for a thousand years!"

He turned to look at the blood pool, his eyes filled with hatred. A thousand years. How many Asura brethren had tragically died in that blood pool? He could feel their lingering spirits, their resentment, their unwillingness, even across a millennium. Now, this source of evil could finally be destroyed. But just as he prepared to approach the blood pool, the space suddenly trembled. It was as if some immeasurable being was about to descend upon this place. At the edge of the sky, a streak of five-colored clouds rapidly streaked over. Its speed was incredible. One moment it was on the horizon, the next it was directly before them. The five-colored clouds settled in front of everyone, like a carpet.

Above the canopy of the sky, nine ancient ferocious beasts pulled an ancient war chariot. They galloped on the carpet of five-colored clouds, roaring as they approached.

Zhuri's expression changed drastically: "Five-colored clouds paving the way, ancient ferocious beasts traveling! Is it the Five-Star Giant King? How could he have arrived so early?" Based on the time calculation, he should still be confronting his elder sister at this moment! Why would he suddenly come back? He glanced at the blood pool, but he couldn't attend to it now. The Five-Star Giant King could turn him to dust with just a single glance!

He immediately transformed into a burst of soaring shadowy energy and vanished from the world.

Jiang Fan watched the extraordinary phenomenon in the heavens with shock. So this was the Five-Star Giant King's entrance?

Green Pearl's expression shifted slightly, and she hastily struggled free from Jiang Fan's embrace. The moment her feet touched the ground, she weakly stumbled. Jiang Fan supported her, saying, "Don't rush."

Green Pearl looked at Jiang Fan, biting her red lip slightly, and said, "You should go." In her plan, there was no scenario where Jiang Fan would encounter the Five-Star Giant King. She couldn't guarantee how the Five-Star Giant King would treat Jiang Fan. If he knew that she and Jiang Fan were a couple—even if it was fake—Jiang Fan could still be killed instantly by a thought. The Five-Star Giant King's cruelty and indifference were unmatched by any other Giant King. So, she could only let Jiang Fan leave.

Jiang Fan retorted, "Go where? I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying with my wife."

Green Pearl was burning with anxiety; she had no confidence at all in being able to protect Jiang Fan. However, it was already too late for Jiang Fan to leave. The nine ancient ferocious beasts had already pulled a massive war chariot, arriving in the sky above the canopy.

On the war chariot, stood a magnificent giant with gleaming golden skin, nearly ninety feet tall, with his hands clasped behind his back! His silhouette, elongated by the nine suns, resembled a colossal mountain, ten thousand feet high. It cast a shadow over the boundless land. The terrifying aura he emanated caused the ancient lands of the Celestial Realm to tremble slightly.

An enormous vertical eye, majestic as the heavens, looked down. Its pupil slowly rotated. It swept past the blood pool, then past the site where the Space Giant King had fallen. Finally, it fixed upon Jiang Fan.
