Chapter 1527: Fierce Battle

Initially, Gu Xiner also ascended to the Heavenly Realm with Jiang Fan. The Fire Giant King remembered her!

In an instant, the Fire Giant King charged with unparalleled momentum, reaching within ten zhang of Gu Xiner. He didn't make a move, but the terrifying high temperature carried by the shockwave alone possessed the dreadful power to incinerate cultivators in the middle and early stages of the Nascent Soul realm. Beside Gu Xiner were all people from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. This attack would not only destroy Gu Xiner but almost everyone from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. He moved too fast; the Heavenly Secret Pavilion members didn't even have time to disperse.

At this critical moment, Xia Chaoge secretly crushed a jade box and grasped an incomparably sacred white feather. However, she hadn't yet taken action.

The ground between the Fire Giant King and Gu Xiner began to writhe without warning. Then a ten-zhang-high earthen wall suddenly shot up. The scorching gale blew against the earthen wall, rapidly turning it red-hot. Seizing this opportunity, Gu Xiner and the Heavenly Secret Pavilion members immediately dispersed. By the time the earthen wall burned into lava and exploded, everyone had already retreated to a safe distance.

"Oh? The Origin of Earth?" The Fire Giant King tilted his head, sizing up Jiang Fan in the distance, and chuckled.

Jiang Fan said coldly, "If you want to kill me, come directly. There's no need for feints. Otherwise, other Giant Kings might get ahead of you!"

The Fire Giant King's target was still Jiang Fan; attacking Gu Xiner was merely to lure Jiang Fan into rescuing her, allowing him to seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow and achieve a swift victory. Fortunately, the Origin of Earth that Jiang Fan had recently comprehended happened to have some restraint over the path of fire.

With his plan exposed, the Fire Giant narrowed his vertical eye. He glanced sideways at the Stone Giant King in the forbidden zone, who was currently gathering his Stone Battle Legion. Once they came out, it was hard to guarantee they wouldn't come to the eastern front to steal the kill! Wang Chongxiao was the Giant Emperor of the Central Tribe, personally named as the one to be killed! During Wang Chongxiao's Heavenly Tribulation in Hunyuan Province, he had captured Princess Zijiang, triggering the Giant Emperor's thunderous wrath. For this reason, King Black Sun was summoned to the Central Tribe. No one knew what King Black Sun experienced in the Central Tribe, but upon his return, King Black Sun's first words were: "Kill Wang Chongxiao! At all costs!!!"

How could he hand over such a monumental achievement! Since his plan was exposed, the Fire Giant King no longer needed to hide his intentions. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shot towards Jiang Fan as a blur. Before he even arrived, the high temperature capable of melting everything was already surging forth.

Jiang Fan formed a hand seal with both palms and shouted, "Four Symbols, appear!"

In an instant, the Four Symbols of Heaven, Earth, Human, and Divine all simultaneously floated out. The Earth Symbol's great bell emitted a distant and profound chime, shaking a section of space. Gray chains even submerged into the void, using the power of order to suppress all forces. With a muffled hum, the space trembled, and the Fire Giant fell out of the void. He was covered in gray chains, and the great bell rang above his head. The Divine Symbol and the Emperor Symbol each brandished eight fists and an Emperor's Sword.

The Fire Giant King had nowhere to dodge and forcefully endured the power of the fists and sword. A shower of sparks erupted as the Emperor's Sword slashed across the Fire Giant King, leaving a long black scorch mark. And the eight fists striking his body only made the Fire Giant King stagger back a few steps.

Sarcasm flickered in the Fire Giant King's vertical eye. "A decent cultivation technique," he scoffed, "this strike already possesses the physical might of your human Dharma Form Realm. But you forgot, I am a Giant King! In terms of physique, we are far stronger than Central Earth creatures of the same rank! Break!"

As his words fell, his entire body vibrated, and the illusory gray chains on his body shattered. The great bell above his head also instantly dissipated. Ancient Giants can be called the most perfect hunters. Not only are they highly immune to the divine abilities and precious arts of Central Earth, but even their own physiques far surpass those of Central Earth creatures.

"Is that so?" Jiang Fan's cold voice suddenly sounded.

The Fire Giant King sensed something and looked up to see that a sword formation had formed above his head at some unknown point. Three top-grade spirit swords formed a three-colored divine rainbow and slashed down with lightning speed. When Jiang Fan didn't attack, he remained silent; but once he did, it was a torrential storm, annihilating the enemy. As early as when he briefly restrained the opponent, he had already activated the Great Evolution Sword Formation. Now that the sword formation was complete, the opponent had nowhere to dodge.

The Fire Giant King's pupils contracted. He felt the deadly threat of the three-colored divine rainbow and precisely judged that he could not evade this attack. But he wasn't flustered; as a hunter, he was very experienced. Almost instinctively, he activated the star on his forehead without hesitation. Lava surged within him, and he instantly melted into a burst of scattered lava. This shared a similar remarkable effect with the Origin of the Three-Star Giant King from the Great Wilderness Province.

The three-colored divine rainbow slashed down, only striking a wisp of lava. Top-grade spirit swords containing artifact spirits had greatly increased power, forcing even those in the Heaven-Human Two Decay stage to retreat three paces. Let alone those in the Heaven-Human One Decay stage? This wisp of lava, formed from a part of the Fire Giant King's body, immediately vaporized. A miserable groan immediately followed.

The scattered lava quickly coalesced back into the Fire Giant King. He clutched his right cheek, and blood sprayed and flowed from where his ear had been. Upon closer inspection, his ear had been sliced off by the sharp blade! Although this sword strike did not kill him, it truly wounded him.

"You damned lowlife!!!" The Fire Giant King roared in fury. As the first Giant King of the Black Sun Royal Court to enter battle, to be wounded in his first battle by a Nascent Soul realm cultivator?

But he did not lose his composure. Instead, he swept his gaze across the experts of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and the Fire Worship Sect, stomped his foot on the ground, and declared, "A bunch of ants, all of you die!"

The ground ripped open with a rumble. Streams of deep underground lava erupted without warning. The Fire Giant King could even trigger underground lava! Jiang Fan's expression finally changed slightly; with such a large-scale lava eruption, it was impossible for all the Heavenly Secret Pavilion members to remain unharmed. Fortunately, the Fire Worship Sect Master decisively issued orders: "Suppress the lava and protect those around you!"

The Fire Worship Sect cultivated the path of fire. This lava was harmful to ordinary people, but not to them. The members of the Fire Worship Sect unleashed streams of strange fire, sealing off the lava erupting from underground. These strange fires were all innate blazing fires born from the Fire Worship Sect's fire springs. Their power was immense, capable of incinerating everything. How could ordinary lava break through the strange fires' blockade? Only in areas where the strange fires had missed did small amounts of lava erupt. Except for two or three cultivators who were accidentally sprayed and suffered burns, everyone else was unharmed.

Jiang Fan subtly exhaled. He cast a grateful glance at the Fire Worship Sect Master. But before he could relax, a strong sense of alarm rose in his heart. Looking closely, the Fire Giant King's figure had already vanished. Under the perception of the Origin of Wind, his trajectory was already extremely close! The Fire Giant King had created chaos to divert Jiang Fan's attention and create an opportunity for a surprise attack!

The next moment, a grim giant hand burning with terrifying flames gripped towards Jiang Fan. The Fire Giant King's grim face appeared: "Time to die!"
