Chapter 1189: Crossing the Boundary to Break the Sky Pit

The Five-Star Giant King frowned slightly. The surge of blood served only as a warning; it could not convey more specific information. The Five-Star Giant King could only determine its origin. He turned his gaze towards Black Cloud Fortress.

The Fortune Giant King narrowed his eyes and said, "My King, the Heaven-Connecting Black Pillar must be experiencing unusual activity."

The Five-Star Giant King said nothing more. He slowly closed his eyes, and five dim gray stars appeared on his forehead. He activated his power of precognition, foreseeing what would happen to the Heaven-Connecting Black Pillar.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, a towering rage blazing within them. "How dare you! Follow me to the Ancient Sinkhole! Where is Green Pearl?"

The Fortune Giant King replied, "She should be cultivating in the Spirit Pool of the ruins."

The Five-Star Giant King commanded, "Never mind her, all of you, follow me!" He swiftly headed towards the Ancient Sinkhole. A rare hint of anxiety appeared on his face because he had just foreseen a scene he never could have imagined, even in his wildest dreams!

Half a day later, in the Middle-Earth Realm, within the territory of the Myriad Tribulations Sacred Temple. They traveled north, passing White Horse Temple, crossing Moon-Washing Lake, and finally reaching the Myriad Tribulations Sacred Temple. This journey almost spanned the entire north-south length of Taicang Great State.

Following the coordinates in the golden bowl, Venerable True Word arrived at a desolate, uninhabited valley.

Venerable True Word slightly caught her breath. Even for a Venerable, such continuous rapid travel for half a day was immensely taxing.

Jiang Fan retrieved the golden bowl and jumped down from Venerable True Word. He moved the Heaven-Connecting Black Pillar a short distance, repositioning it. Once the position was fully confirmed, he unlocked the chains, set the Heaven-Connecting Black Pillar down, and said, "Sister, quickly, leave. Something will be coming down soon."

Venerable True Word immediately carried Jiang Fan and teleported outside the valley, looking up at the sky. A puzzled expression on her face, she asked, "What's falling?"

Jiang Fan, in his childish voice, replied, "Sister will know in a moment."

Meanwhile, in the Celestial Realm. The Five-Star Giant King tore through the air, shaking the very firmament as he arrived at the Ancient Sinkhole in just half a day. Even before he fully arrived, he saw the Gold Giant King and the Shadow Giant King pacing frantically.

The Five-Star Giant King's heart sank. He moved closer to look, and his pupils contracted sharply. The scene he had foreseen had indeed come to pass!

At the center of the blood pool, the Heaven-Connecting Black Pillar was unmistakably at its very bottom! The space around the Heaven-Connecting Black Pillar, as if at the bottom of the blood pool, had opened a gaping hole directly to Middle-Earth! The water from this blood pool, which had existed for a millennium, was now pouring into Middle-Earth through the hole!

By the time the Five-Star Giant King arrived, the very last drop of blood water had drained away! Only an empty pool remained.

"No!!!" the Five-Star Giant King roared in fury! He had just received the astounding news that humans had a very high conversion rate when entering the blood pool. In a blink, his joy turned to sorrow as Middle-Earth completely undercut him!

Soon after, several other Giant Kings arrived. Staring at the scene before them, they all turned pale. The Ancient Sinkhole... was gone! The blood pool that even the Four-Crowned Asura King and a Three-Crowned Asura King couldn't destroy together had been destroyed cross-realm by people from Middle-Earth!

The Five-Star Giant King raged continuously, "Venerable Sinful Mind! This King will ensure you die a terrible death!"

Middle-Earth Realm. An hour later. Grand Wine Sacrifice and others arrived one after another. Seeing everything around them unchanged, they couldn't help but look puzzled. "Venerable True Word, what is this?"

Venerable True Word shook her head. "I don't know either. The Heaven-Connecting Black Pillar has been here for an hour now."

Venerable Evil Crow said indifferently, "I thought we missed something. Turns out, nothing happened. A junior making Venerables from various states run around in circles. What punishment does this deserve?"

Jiang Fan turned his head, looked at him, and said clearly, "The Celestial Realm is so far away; it takes a long time for anything to fall from there. Even I know this, don't you?"

Venerable True Word detested Venerable Evil Crow intensely. He had tried to abduct her and commit improprieties while she was suffering from amnesia. Hearing Jiang Fan perfectly retort to him, she felt a surge of satisfaction and said, "Little Ling Li, you are so clever. Unlike some people, who are worse than a five-year-old."

Venerable Evil Crow glared at Jiang Fan. This child was as annoying as Jiang Fan!

*Gurgle!* Just then, the sound of flowing water was heard. Soon, vast amounts of blood water cascaded down the three-zhang spatial passage around the Heaven-Connecting Black Pillar. It quickly filled the valley floor. Horrifying negative emotions began to emanate from it. The Venerables were fine, but the disciples' eyes immediately turned red, and dark emotions sprouted in their hearts.

Grand Wine Sacrifice instantly understood what this was and exclaimed in astonishment, "This... could this be the blood water from that blood pool? The Heaven-Connecting Black Pillar, it reached into the pool and drew all the blood water down?"

Venerable Heart Devil was overjoyed and exclaimed in surprise, "So, the threat of the Ancient Sinkhole in our Taicang Great State has been lifted?"

Venerable True Word was also immensely surprised and delighted! This blood pool was undoubtedly their greatest threat. And now, the threat had been resolved so easily! Happily, she embraced Jiang Fan's head and kissed him again and again on the cheek: "Little Ling Li, you're amazing! Big Sister likes you so much! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!"

Deputy Palace Master You, Myriad Ton Demon Lord, and others also watched with faces full of disbelief. Who could have imagined that the Ancient Sinkhole could be destroyed in such a way? This meant that Taicang Great State only needed to face the army of over a thousand ancient giants. They would no longer have to worry about ancient giants having new forces. However, the threat to their own states remained. If they could bring Jiang Fan or his brother back, could they also replicate this scene and destroy their own Ancient Sinkholes?

Thinking of this, Deputy Palace Master You took out a piece of candy and kindly offered it to Jiang Fan: "Little one, I'll take you to find your mother. Come with Grandma."

Jiang Fan was caught between laughter and tears. A Venerable turning into a child trafficker? Venerable True Word chuckled. Although it was Deputy Palace Master You's joke, it indirectly showed how much impact Jiang Liuli's actions had on them. If she weren't watching, they would likely try every means to bring Jiang Ling Li back to their own great states. Realizing this, she grew even fonder of Jiang Ling Li. Pinching his small nose, she said, "Little one, you are so likable. From now on, just follow Big Sister. I'll protect you!"

Jiang Fan was already numb from being teased. His mind was still working. Solving only the Ancient Sinkhole wasn't enough. He needed to give the ancient giants another harsh blow! He thought of the armory, filled with countless maces and various siege weapons that hadn't existed a thousand years ago. If they didn't have their maces, wouldn't the ancient giants' strength naturally decline?

"Big Sister," he said, "Brother said that if the Ancient Sinkhole is successfully destroyed, then we should try to bring down all their weapons too."

Grand Wine Sacrifice, Venerable Heart Devil, and Venerable True Word all simultaneously recalled the armory they had seen from Jiang Fan's perspective. Those murderous maces would eventually be stained with the blood of Middle-Earth's inhabitants. How could they hesitate? After Jiang Fan marked the location in the golden bowl, he once again attached the Heaven-Connecting Black Pillar and sped towards the armory. Grand Wine Sacrifice and Venerable True Word escorted him. Venerable Heart Devil remained to deal with the blood water in the valley.

Celestial Realm. The Five-Star Giant King's rage had not yet subsided when he noticed the Heaven-Connecting Black Pillar moving again. He was furious. "Where else does he want to go?" When he clearly saw the direction the Heaven-Connecting Black Pillar was heading, the Five-Star Giant King's expression changed. "This is bad! The Heaven-Connecting Black Pillar is going to the Black Sun Royal Court!"
