Chapter 1592: Racing Against Time

Snap!

As the long tongue struck, a figure flashed in front of Jiang Fan. Then, that crimson, deadly tongue was gripped by a withered hand.

Jiang Fan looked over, surprised: "Building Master?"

The Jiangshan Yipin Building Master held the tongue and looked back with a smile: "Didn't you want to know what my cultivation level really is?" His body trembled, and a layer of shimmering light that had covered his body, concealing his aura, dissipated.

A supreme aura, transcendent over all beings, swept forth. A divine halo, lit with five flame-like marks, appeared vividly behind his head!

Jiang Fan's eyes nearly popped out: "Five Decays of Heavenly Beings? You're in the Five Decays of Heavenly Beings realm?" He simply couldn't believe his eyes. The Building Master, who usually only revealed a Five-Aperture Nascent Soul, was actually a Grand Venerable of the Five Decays of Heavenly Beings in his true form!

The aura that erupted here instantly drew the attention of the Underworld King and Hong Xiu. The Underworld King's calm face finally showed a hint of change: "You've hidden yourself so deeply? Not even the Imperial Capital of the Central Tribe realized you were a Human Grand Venerable!"

The Jiangshan Yipin Building Master smiled faintly and said: "If you had seen through me, would you have trusted me?" The giants cooperated with the Jiangshan Yipin Building Master because they believed his cultivation was within their control. If they had known he possessed the Five Decays of Heavenly Beings cultivation, how could they have felt at ease with him? How would they have dared to give him their Qi Luck?

The Jiangshan Yipin Building Master looked at Jiang Fan and said: "Leave quickly. I can't hold off Black Sun King for too long." He had previously taken a blow from the Giant Emperor, leaving him devoid of flesh and blood.

In contrast, the Black Sun King, though poisoned by the Black Dragon Grand Venerable's venom, was not fatally wounded; it merely caused his combat strength to drop by thirty to forty percent. If the fight continued for too long, he would be defeated.

Jiang Fan glanced at the stalemated battlefield, then at the weakened Jiangshan Yipin Building Master. He decisively took out the Nine-Colored Crystal. Although using it on the Black Sun King would be a waste, there was no other choice.

The Black Sun King's expression changed abruptly. With a sweep of his long tongue, he dragged the Jiangshan Yipin Building Master into the battlefield. This way, if Jiang Fan used the Nine-Colored Crystal, it would indiscriminately kill everyone!

"Brat, once I've dealt with the Jiangshan Yipin Building Master, I'll tear you into ten thousand pieces!" the Black Sun King roared venomously, then engaged the Jiangshan Yipin Building Master in battle.

Jiang Fan's expression darkened. He activated his Wind Origin, trying to track the Black Sun King's movements, but he couldn't pinpoint them accurately. The Nine-Colored Crystal also had no way to strike accurately.

"Damn it!" Jiang Fan's mind was slightly agitated. If things continued like this, the Jiangshan Yipin Building Master would be defeated, and the Black Sun King would free his hands to kill all the Human Soul Transformation cultivators one by one! They had to restrain the Black Sun King! But he was a Five-Star Giant King! How easy would it be to get rid of him?

Jiang Fan was anxious, racking his brain to think. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He pulled out the Rebel from the spatial mirror and said: "Quick! Eat the shoe and hurry back to the Fire Worship Cult! I need to use the spatial teleportation array there to return to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!"

He thought of a solution. That was to return the Confucian Body of the Twin Sages to the remnant soul within Gu Xin'er. If the other party underwent body possession and rebirth, even if they couldn't recover to their peak, they should have strength similar to an Immaculate Venerable. If they teamed up with the Jiangshan Yipin Building Master, there would be hope of killing the Black Sun King!

He took out a shoe with a movement technique of the Two Decays of Heavenly Beings and threw it to the Rebel.

"Huh? You really want me to eat a shoe?" The Rebel looked at the shoe in front of it and snarled.

"Are you going to eat it or not?" Jiang Fan snapped.

The Rebel gnashed its teeth and said: "Eat a shoe? Not even a dog would eat that!"

But as soon as the words left its mouth, it suddenly sensed a pair of venomous eyes locking onto them. It glanced sideways and gasped. It was a Giant King over twenty zhang tall, with two fiery red stars on his forehead. It was none other than the Two-Star Fire Giant King who had escaped from the Fire Worship Cult! He had sensed the aura of the central army and rushed over, only to spot Jiang Fan at a glance. When enemies met, their eyes blazed with fury.

He decisively activated his Fire Origin, his eyes filled with murderous intent, to take Jiang Fan's life! The Rebel was also enveloped by the Origin power, trembling with fear. When it looked at the shoe again, it gnashed its teeth once more: "A dog won't eat it, but I will! It's just a shoe to eat! A true man knows when to yield and when to stand tall; what's eating a shoe? Urghhh..."

In a flash, the Rebel gnawed down the shoe. Surprisingly, the expected foul taste didn't appear. Instead, it had the sweet fragrance of a spirit fruit and contained immense power, causing its cultivation to surge dramatically. The Rebel was overjoyed. This worn-out shoe was actually a top-grade spirit fruit!

But with no time to savor the taste, an idea sparked in its mind, and a pair of phantom little shoes appeared on its two small paws. With a stomp, it generated a teleportation power at the Two Decays of Heavenly Beings level!

"Let's go!" The Rebel grabbed Jiang Fan's arm and teleported away with him.

The Two-Star Fire Giant King's Origin attack missed, and he roared angrily: "Trying to escape!" He swiftly pursued them.

A few moments later, at the Fire Worship Cult.

The teleportation speed of the Two Decays of Heavenly Beings was frighteningly fast. In a dizzying moment, Jiang Fan was back near the Fire Worship Cult. Without a word, he decisively jumped into the Teleportation Hall and activated the array. As a spatial beam of light shot skyward, he instantly teleported away.

Not long after the light beam dissipated, the earth shook violently as the Two-Star Fire Giant King descended upon the Fire Worship Cult, terrible flames transforming the entire cult into a sea of fire. He gazed at the teleportation array, unsure where Jiang Fan had teleported to, and roared repeatedly in anger: "Wang Chongxiao!" If he could kill Wang Chongxiao, he could both exact revenge and claim credit from the Underworld King. It was hateful that he possessed such a bizarre shoe and had slipped away right under his nose!

Just as he was fuming, a sneaky voice came from afar. "Lord Giant King, I know where Jiang Fan went."

The Two-Star Fire Giant King turned his head and saw a young human. He also carried half the bloodline of an ancient giant. His vertical eye narrowed: "A half-giant?"

The newcomer was none other than Venerable Xie Ya, who had successfully taken over the body of the Heavenly Relic City's Young Master. He had already repaired this body and had only come to investigate after sensing battle fluctuations here. Unexpectedly, he had just arrived and stumbled upon the Two-Star Giant King pursuing Jiang Fan.

He gave an eerie smile and said: "I am the Young Master of Heavenly Relic City, your loyal servant, my lord. I am willing to guide you to find Jiang Fan."

The Two-Star Fire Giant King eyed him suspiciously: "Do you have a grudge against him?"

Venerable Xie Ya's eyes showed resentment: "A blood feud! Please, my lord, grant me an opportunity later. Before you kill him, let me take everything from him right before his eyes! Including... his woman!"

Mount Qingli, underground palace.

After Jiang Fan teleported over, he immediately took out the core of the array without a word. This way, even if the Two-Star Fire Giant King knew he was in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, he would have to traverse the continent. This would buy them considerable time.

He flashed, returning to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. His gaze swept around, immediately locking onto Gu Xin'er's secret chamber.
