Chapter 1547: True Words Save Husband

From the void behind the Soul Giant King came a muffled thud.

A spray of blood erupted.

Jiang Fan’s Selfless Dust-Cleansing Art was shattered, revealing his presence.

His chest had been pierced front to back by a long tongue, and his face was etched with pain, yet there was no resignation in his eyes. Instead, they burned with even greater murderous intent.

In his right hand, he held a nine-colored crystal. It was the weapon gifted by the white-robed skeleton from the Myriad Tribulation Holy Temple, found within the mysterious stone cone. This item possessed lethal power, even against Sage-level beings.

Jiang Fan had always kept it, originally intending to use it against his ultimate enemy, the Five-Star Giant King. Now, he could only activate it prematurely, taking both the Fortune Giant King and the Soul Giant King to their demise!

The Fortune Giant King’s eyelids twitched, his gaze locked on Jiang Fan’s right palm, clearly sensing extreme danger. His eyes flashed with fierce light, and he growled, “Damn it!” His long tongue suddenly coiled, attempting to pull Jiang Fan into his mouth and devour him before Jiang Fan could activate the nine-colored crystal!

Jiang Fan smiled, offering no resistance. His five fingers suddenly exerted force, making the nine-colored crystal creak. Just as he was about to crush it, the sky’s atmosphere suddenly compressed, and space violently trembled. A suffocating aura erupted.

With a sharp ripping sound, a light yellow afterimage flashed between Jiang Fan and the Fortune Giant King. Then, black blood splattered. The Fortune Giant King's long tongue was severed!

Jiang Fan was steadied by a graceful hand around his waist, landing gently. He turned his head in astonishment. The exquisitely beautiful face of a classical beauty was mere inches away. Her face was frosty, her gaze fixed on the Fortune Giant King, and her enchanting eyes surged with fury. Especially when she saw the half-severed tongue stuck in Jiang Fan's chest, her eyes flashed with cold intensity.

She ripped out the long tongue, crushed it bare-handed, and stated coldly: “In this world, only I can harm him! What do you think you are?”

The Fortune Giant King withdrew his severed tongue with a pained expression, his eyes filled with astonishment: “Venerable Veracity?” He had seen the three Incarnated Deities and one Bodhisattva from Taicang Great State when they intruded into the Celestial Realm, so he naturally recognized her.

What astonished him was that Venerable Veracity had clearly been gravely wounded by the Black Sun King and had fallen into the celestial winds. Yet, not only had she not died, she had also broken through to the Second Decline of Heaven and Man! Indeed, the white divine halo behind Venerable Veracity's head bore two flame marks. She had finally broken through to the Second Decline of Heaven and Man at the very last moment, and arrived on the battlefield just in time!

“Veracity? You've broken through to the Second Decline of Heaven and Man?” Jiang Fan was stunned. Hadn't he poisoned all the Female Prime Spirit Fish that Venerable Veracity had cultivated? Where did she get the opportunity to break through to the Second Decline of Heaven and Man?

Venerable Veracity glared at him, wanting to scold him for being foolish enough to risk his life against a group of Giant Kings. But seeing the wound on his chest, the words on her lips turned into a warning. “Be careful.” She then released Jiang Fan, her eyes flashing with cold light as she attacked the Fortune Giant King.

“Prohibit Veracity.” Her domain suddenly expanded.

The Fortune Giant King's expression changed slightly, and he hastily activated his essence: “Misfortune...” However, though he thought of misfortune, his thoughts were strangely blocked. He quickly tried to activate “Calamity” and “Bad Luck.” But each time he tried to form a thought, it was blocked by an invisible force.

Jiang Fan understood; Venerable Veracity's domain had changed after she ascended to the Second Decline of Heaven and Man. Originally, within her domain, one could only speak the truth. Now, she could prohibit people from speaking the truth! Even their inner thoughts were suppressed. This could practically block any action of the enemy! If her domain power was strong enough and she could use it indefinitely, she could turn enemies into immobile targets. He had initially thought Venerable Veracity's domain was merely supportive, with no offensive power. Unexpectedly, after the Second Decline of Heaven and Man, her domain had undergone a qualitative leap.

Jiang Fan felt relieved. She would have no problem dealing with the Fortune Giant King. Then, Jiang Fan could free up his hands and focus on dealing with the Soul Giant King! The thunderous power within his Heavenly Abyss Heart had already run out. His Incarnated Deity realm was about to end. Therefore, he didn't hesitate at all. He instantly vanished from his spot with a teleportation.

The Soul Giant King's scalp tingled. He couldn't understand how a moment ago it was a four-on-one battle, and in just a few breaths, it had become a one-on-one between him and Jiang Fan! Thinking of that terrifying domain, he decisively bounced and dodged. He had to stall until Jiang Fan's cultivation dropped and he lost the power of his domain, otherwise, he would surely die!

Fortunately, Jiang Fan's Incarnated Deity realm would last for at most one more breath. With his jumping speed, he could maintain a sufficient distance from Jiang Fan. However, what he never expected was this. From behind him came Jiang Fan's low roar: “You! Can't escape!”

“What?” The Soul Giant King looked behind him in disbelief. He saw Jiang Fan's figure emerge from his own shadow on the ground! "Isn't this the essence of the Shadow Giant King?"

Looking closely, a ghostly green eye on Jiang Fan's abdomen slowly faded. It was the Eye of Replication, which had copied a portion of the Shadow Giant King's essence. Jiang Fan emerged, and seizing the last trace of his Incarnated Deity cultivation, he furiously swung the Divine Wood down.

The Soul Giant King had nowhere to dodge. He could only block with one hand, while simultaneously activating his Soul Essence. The soul arrow that had killed Jiang Wuya shot towards Jiang Fan's forehead. Jiang Fan, however, decisively activated the Soul-Stunning Thorn! One arrow, one thorn; the two collided in mid-air. Both were soul attacks from Incarnated Deity realm, equally matched, and they shattered upon impact.

The remaining soul aftershocks rolled back, striking both of them. The Soul Giant King immediately felt his head splitting, roaring in continuous pain. Jiang Fan also felt a stinging pain in his soul, as if it were being torn apart, but he endured the intense agony and swung the Divine Wood. With a dull thud, the Divine Wood struck the Soul Giant King's arm. Just as the thunderous power of his Heavenly Abyss Heart ran out, Jiang Fan was pushed back by the immense force. He was sent flying hundreds of feet, creating a large crater. He coughed up blood continuously.

But the Soul Giant King, having taken a blow from the Divine Wood, also experienced a taste of purgatorial pain. This was something Jiang Fan had specifically prepared for him! He howled. The Soul Giant King, in agony, clutched his head and roared, stomping his feet repeatedly to try and lessen the pain. But the pain deepened, and he lost even the strength to stand, collapsing to the ground, twisting and writhing continuously. His massive body slammed into the ground, making the earth tremble violently.

Jiang Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, swallowed a Heavenly Garment Divine Water pill, and, holding the Divine Wood, flew towards him. Sensing Jiang Fan's approach, the Soul Giant King's forehead star began to rotate, intending to deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Fan. However, the intense pain robbed him of the strength to resist. The star rotated twice then stopped.

Jiang Fan showed no mercy, delivering another ferocious strike with his staff, roaring: “Come on? Keep killing? Where's your might from when you descended upon the Central Lands? Where's the arrogance you had when you killed my sworn brother?”

The Soul Giant King, already in unbearable pain, immediately experienced what it meant to wish for death. His miserable howls echoed across the entire battlefield, making all the Ancient Giants restless. The Soul Giant King cried out in terror: “Don't kill me... I don't want to die... I can also switch allegiance to your human race, just like Venerable Evil Crow... I've cultivated for so long, please...”

Jiang Fan grew even angrier, his eyes swirling with murderous intent: “Was my sworn brother's cultivation easy? Were the deceased cultivators from Taicang Great State's cultivation easy? Spare you? I cannot agree, nor can our deceased human compatriots!” He switched the Divine Wood in his hand for Purple Lightning, and fiercely struck towards the Soul Giant King's neck.

The Soul Giant King roared in despair: “Wang Chongxiao... Black Sun King... they won't let you get away with this!”

Jiang Fan coldly retorted: “You're wrong. It's *I* who won't let *him* get away with this! You will all meet underground soon enough!”

A massive head shot into the sky.
