Chapter 1217: The Law of the Giant Emperor

The four Giant Kings' expressions also changed drastically. They were in crippled bodies, their power no longer at its peak. How could they withstand a Divine Transformation attack?

Whoosh!

The four Giant Kings immediately broke through the air and fled, completely disregarding the Hellish Beast's fate!

The Hellish Beast was both shocked and enraged, and it too hastily fled. However, with its weakest power, it would surely be the first to be suppressed by the millstone!

In this critical moment, it gritted its teeth and roared, "You four ungrateful wretches! If you're heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

With a raise of its claw, a stream of black light centered around it radiated outwards in all directions. This was precisely the Hellish Beast's unique ability—the Beast Domain!

The four Giant Kings, trapped in the Beast Domain, immediately felt as if they were stepping into a muddy swamp, making every step difficult. Although its domain could not completely trap the Giant Kings, slowing their steps was enough! Seizing this opportunity, it stepped on the massive bodies of the Giant Kings and darted away into the distance.

The pursuing millstone then locked onto the four Giant Kings and violently suppressed them. As the millstone spun, the weakest among them, the Ice Giant King, let out a blood-curdling scream! Its soul was rapidly ground into particles! In a mere three breaths, the Ice Giant King let out a defiant roar, its vertical eye wide open, and its body crashed to the ground. Its soul was completely pulverized into dust.

The other three Giant Kings also roared repeatedly, their souls suffering extreme torment. They would soon follow in the footsteps of the Ice Giant King!

The Hellish Beast, having narrowly escaped disaster, showed an expression of relief. It had almost died in there too!

Gazing at the three Giant Kings struggling under the millstone, the Hellish Beast's face turned grim: "Jiang Fan! I truly should have killed you at any cost back then!" Just when success was within reach, Jiang Fan, this ultimate jinx, had directly ruined all its plans!

In contrast, the experts from Taicang were filled with continuous pleasant surprises! They were all saved! The Central Plains were also spared from the Giant Emperor's rampage! What followed was immense envy.

"Ah! How many ancestral graves of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion must be 'smoking' to have produced someone like Jiang Fan!"

"If the Heavenly Secret Pavilion can survive the catastrophe of the ancient giants, it will undoubtedly become a powerful sect comparable to the Three Divine Sects and Seven Great Cults!"

"Why wait for the future? Who among you dares to lay a hand on the Heavenly Secret Pavilion now?"

Everyone fell silent. Not to mention how many people Jiang Fan saved today, every sect owed him a favor. Just Jiang Fan casually unleashing a Sage Engraving, and then another Divine Transformation attack with a mere flick of his hand... Who would be so foolish as to attack the Heavenly Secret Pavilion? Thinking of this, their envy deepened.

"Others' disciples bask in the glory of their sects, making a grand display of power wherever they go."

"Only with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion is it the opposite."

In mid-air, Jiang Fan's face was filled with visible anguish. The black stone sculpture was his life-saving artifact, prepared for Venerable Xin Nie. Yet, it was used on the battlefield today. Fortunately, its power exceeded expectations, successfully grinding the Ice Giant King to oblivion. The remaining three Giant Kings were also on their last breath, their remnant souls about to disperse, so it wasn't a waste.

He let out a light breath, considering the matter settled. After returning, he would definitely settle scores with the Grand Wine Priest. That old fellow was too unreliable! Last time, he said the probability of encountering the Wind Giant King, Space Giant King, and Five-Star Giant King in the Celestial Realm was almost zero. And then Jiang Fan encountered two of them. This time, he didn't even investigate this battlefield, which harbored such a major hidden danger, before opening it to the outside world. And then Jiang Fan encountered the Giant Emperor breaking free! He even wasted his precious Sage Engraving and Divine Transformation attack. If the old fellow didn't compensate him, he would carry off one of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau's islands as payment!

As he was complaining, suddenly, the millstone stopped spinning. An invisible force suppressed it, preventing it from continuing to grind away the dying remnant souls of the three Giant Kings. Then, the millstone shattered without warning, turning into fragments and vanishing into nothingness.

The three Giant Kings successfully escaped death!

The sudden change left Jiang Fan stunned. What was happening? Had the Divine Transformation attack ended? Or was it...

He turned his head to look at the Giant Emperor, his pupils contracting sharply! The Giant Emperor, previously curled into a ball, had, at some unknown point, raised its head!!! A single massive, jet-black vertical eye stared indifferently at its surroundings. Its purple pupil slowly rotated, sweeping slowly from the three Giant Kings to Jiang Fan.

With just that glance, Jiang Fan's whole body trembled violently. His internal organs felt as if they were struck by a solidified force, vibrating intensely. His blood, moreover, boiled, flowing rapidly through his veins, making his skin quickly turn crimson! His Nascent Soul within his dantian felt a tearing agony, as if it were about to be crushed by that casual gaze.

This... was merely a glance! It not only dispersed the Divine Transformation attack but also nearly killed Jiang Fan on the spot! This, then, was the Giant Emperor? Even though it was still sealed and profoundly weakened, it still possessed world-ending might capable of obliterating everything!

"You all... continue!" the Giant Emperor spoke indifferently. Although they were the most ordinary words, they carried an unseen sense of underlying rules. As if its words were the very rules of heaven and earth, which all living beings were supposed to obey.

The Taicang experts, who had already fled beyond the void, involuntarily walked back. The three Giant Kings even directly took action, attacking the fourth chain. The Hellish Beast also obediently walked back. Even Jiang Fan began uncontrollably striking at the chains. His mind was resisting, but his body was bound by a rule of heaven and earth, making him act against his will!

The Giant Emperor spoke, and it became a rule! No one could resist! Seeing the chains in a perilous state, Jiang Fan's heart sank to rock bottom. Had they still failed?

But at this very moment, the remaining six chains sensed the Giant Emperor awakening. They successively emanated rays of colorful light, forming a colored cage, enveloping the Giant Emperor. Its power to command all beings was severed. Only then did everyone regain control of their bodies and fled towards the void beyond!

The Hellish Beast, on the other hand, was overjoyed. It hastily shouted to the remaining three Giant Kings, "What are you waiting for? Quickly break the chains and rescue the Giant Emperor!"

The three Giant Kings, who had almost died, woke as if from a dream. Having witnessed the Giant Emperor's world-ending might, deep excitement appeared in their eyes. If they could rescue the Giant Emperor, ruling the Great State of Taicang would be a piece of cake! They immediately continued to bombard the chains.

Snap!

The fourth chain broke! The colored mist trapping the Giant Emperor immediately weakened slightly.

Jiang Fan gasped. He decisively used the Soul-Stirring Stab on the Fire Giant King! The Fire Giant King let out a pained groan; its already dying remnant soul suffered another heavy blow. But it still persisted in bombarding the chains.

Crack!

The fifth chain broke!

Jiang Fan was burning with anxiety, but also saw hope. At this moment, the Giant Kings' souls were already so weak that a Soul-Stirring Stab could kill them! It was just that his current soul power wasn't strong enough, making it difficult to slay them.

Realizing this, he decisively took out the Sect Master of Divine Movement Sect's spatial storage artifact and poured the Soul Mushrooms from it into his mouth, one by one. But eating them one by one was too slow! By the time his soul broke through to the Seven Aperture realm, the chains would have already been completely undone.

Suddenly, an idea struck him!
