Chapter 1542: Decisive Battle

As soon as the words fell, the black mist in the forbidden zone trembled. A golden light flew out.

It was a fist-sized golden seal, engraved with the head of an ancient giant.

This was not unfamiliar to the powerful cultivators of Taicang Great Province.

In the celestial realm, some Asura tribes who primarily worshipped ancient giants bore this mark. With this seal, the ancient giants would not kill them based on their aura.

However, the golden seal before them exuded a terrifying aura. Even the Sand Giant King and others who saw it showed expressions of awe.

From within the forbidden zone, the Giant King's voice rang out. "This is the mark that King Black Sun requested from the Central Emperor. With this seal, no Giant King would dare harm you in the slightest."

The human side became agitated. "The Central Emperor? Could it be the Giant Emperor of the Central Tribe?" "That would be equivalent to a sage among our human race?" "With this seal, ordinary ancient giants truly wouldn't dare attack anymore." "This is indeed a 'death-exempt' golden token." "Crucially, it could also benefit our sects!"

The Demon Heart Venerable's face changed drastically. How much hatred had Jiang Fan truly incurred from that Giant Emperor to personally bestow such an item? Moreover, it was clearly an attempt to sow discord among the human Nascent Soul cultivators! Because, with Jiang Fan's strength, only Nascent Soul cultivators could pose a threat to him. He immediately shouted, "Stop trying to alienate us here!"

"What if we're exempt from the hunt? If all life in Taicang Great Province is annihilated, what meaning is there in only our Myriad Calamity Sacred Temple remaining?" "Becoming traitors to the human race, becoming the shame of the Central Lands, and living a lingering existence—what meaning would that have?"

Heavenly Listener Bodhisattva clasped his palms together and said, "Baima Temple only saves people, it does not harm them." "All the monks share this sentiment."

Feng Yuanzong also snorted, "My Great Yin Sect disdains such a pathetic existence!"

As the two Nascent Soul cultivators spoke, everyone else came to their senses. If the Central Lands were destroyed, what good would a death-exempt token be?

However, one Nascent Soul Venerable actually hesitated. The Demon Heart Venerable stared at the Evil Crow Venerable and said coldly:

"Evil Crow, are you truly that afraid of death?"

Everyone looked towards the Evil Crow Venerable, their dissatisfaction unconcealed. The previous battle had been so brutal, yet this Venerable from Taicang Great Province seemed completely detached!

When Jiang Wuya fell, he remained indifferent. When human casualties were heavy on the eastern and western battlefields, he was also unmoved!

Now, with the ancient giants dangling the bait of a death-exempt token, he actually didn't refuse! Was he still considered a Nascent Soul Venerable of the Central Lands? Whose side was he truly on?

Sensing the crowd's anger, the Evil Crow Venerable then spoke unhurriedly: "Does this Venerable still need you to teach me the principle of 'when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?" "Enough talk, let's fight the giants to the death!"

His gaze swept across, locking onto the most severely wounded Shadow Giant King. His eyes gleaming, he said, "Let me test the strength of a Celestial Realm Giant King!" His figure vanished from his spot, charging towards the Shadow Giant King.

His action undoubtedly brought the tense battle to the brink of eruption!

The Demon Heart Venerable inwardly cursed him for being shameless. He actually chose a Giant King that Heavenly Listener Bodhisattva had severely wounded.

However, once the Evil Crow Venerable made his move, they had no choice but to follow. He raised his voice and shouted, "Kill!"

The human allied forces no longer hesitated, deploying en masse. Those in the mid to late stages of Nascent Soul still led the charge, with early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators supporting from the rear.

The ancient giants also moved. From the depths of the forbidden zone, the Giant King spoke coldly:

"Leave no one alive!"

These words were nothing less than a command to commence battle. The four hundred colossal giants, previously silent as mountains, let out roars like mountains collapsing and tsunamis rising. They simultaneously drew their spiked clubs, stomping the ground, and charged forward with astonishing killing intent.

The four Giant Kings also revealed killing intent in their eyes, transforming into afterimages as they leaped out.

The Shadow Giant King charged menacingly towards the Evil Crow Venerable. "You think I'm a pushover?" "Are you even worthy?"

The Stone Giant King glared at the Demon Heart Venerable and snorted, "Let's continue!"

The Sand Giant King turned and prepared to attack Jiang Fan. However, a flash of Buddhist light blocked him, and Heavenly Listener Bodhisattva calmly said, "Patron Sand, turn back and find salvation."

The Sand Giant King snorted, "You're asking for death!" He transformed into an afterimage and charged forward.

The Giant King with the transparent star on his forehead narrowed his eyes. "This guy's strength is unknown." "Let's attack together!" The Shadow Giant King almost fell at the Bodhisattva's hands, so it's better to be cautious.

Jian Lanjiang's eyes flashed as he flew to the Bodhisattva's side, setting down the battle corpse from his back. He said, "Bodhisattva, I will assist you." "If I fall, please pass this battle corpse to the descendants of the Jian family." "If there are no Jian family descendants left, then leave it to Jiang Fan!"

The Bodhisattva nodded, "Good."

Only the Soul Giant King remained motionless, saying without turning his head, "It seems you were waiting for me."

Without turning, he could feel Jiang Fan's murderous gaze.

Atop the energy barrier, Jiang Fan patted Jiang Wuya and said, "First, I'll avenge you." "Then, I'll protect this mortal realm for you."

After speaking, spatial power erupted around him, and he vanished.

The next moment, a three-colored divine rainbow slashed down!

The Soul Giant King stomped his feet on the ground and vanished from his spot at near-teleportation speed. The afterimage he left behind was shattered by the three-colored divine rainbow.

But before it landed, the three-colored divine rainbow struck again, rapidly piercing forward.

The Soul Giant King drew his spiked club and swung it fiercely, causing the space in front of him to collapse momentarily.

The trajectory of the three-colored divine rainbow twisted, narrowly missing the Soul Giant King.

"This cultivation technique shouldn't be something a Nascent Soul cultivator can use indefinitely, right?" He glanced at Jiang Fan not far away and saw that the other party had several spirit pills in his mouth.

Jiang Fan bit down on a Reversion to Void Spirit Pill, and his Nascent Soul power rapidly recovered. He coldly snorted, "As long as it's enough to kill you!"

The three-colored divine rainbow returned, striking again.

The Soul Giant King frowned. As he dodged, the star on his forehead suddenly rotated, and a terrifying wave of soul power surged forth.

But Jiang Fan also moved. "Heavenly Manifestation!" Several shadowy chains descended, silently wrapping around the Soul Giant King's body. The rotating star was forcibly paused for a moment.

Seizing this opportunity, the three-colored divine rainbow struck again!

The Soul Giant King's expression shifted slightly, immediately finding it troublesome. Even he found this infinite sword array difficult to deal with.

"Hmph!" He let out a heavy snort through his nose, shaking off the chains, and the star forcibly resumed its rotation. A terrifying wave of soul light swept across the surroundings.

Jiang Fan was swept by it, immediately feeling his vision darken and falling into a momentary state of paralysis. The three-colored divine rainbow, now uncontrolled, fell to the ground.

The Soul Giant King instantly shot forward, carrying terrifying killing intent, and pressed a finger towards Jiang Fan's head, saying indifferently, "After all, you're only at the Nascent Soul stage. Your soul power is too weak."

However, just as his finger was about to crush Jiang Fan, Jiang Fan suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with chilling intent. "Dealing with you is enough!" From his sleeve, a piece of ash fell. It was clearly a Wish Paper.
