Chapter 1606: Chapter 1644: Return to the Battlefield
Jiang Fan’s mind was a blank.
After a while, he gradually regained clarity:
"Alright, it seems even the Void Ancient Tree supports me in grinding that stinky Ancient Saint woman into the ground!"
"Entering Sage, I must become an Entering Sage in this lifetime!"
He was instantly filled with unprecedented motivation.
Everything was for defeating the Ancient Saint!
"Jiang Dao You... Jiang Dao You..."
At this moment, the voice of Red Demon Venerable reached his ears.
Jiang Fan’s heart trembled, and he quickly withdrew from the depths of his consciousness.
After he left, atop the Void Ancient Tree, amidst the swaying shadows of the tree, came a hoarse, soft laugh:
"It’s time to knock some sense into that girl."
"Daring to pick the leaves of the Void Ancient Tree, and wanting to cut a branch to forge a sword?"
"Let this boy give you a taste of bitterness."
"Hehehe..."
Outside.
Jiang Fan’s consciousness returned to his body.
The two hands nestled in his sleeves, which had felt empty, suddenly felt heavy.
It was the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd and the Dog Bowl!
He subtly hid them away in the Space Storage Device.
"Jiang Dao You, just now you were?"
Beside him, Red Demon Venerable’s face showed suspicion; for a moment, she felt Jiang Fan’s entire being seemed empty.
It was as if his soul disappeared, like he went to another space.
She even thought Jiang Fan was dead, which scared her.
Jiang Fan evasively said, "Nothing, just daydreaming a bit."
Finding himself already transported to the Fire Worship Sect’s Transmission Hall, Jiang Fan quickly said, "We must hurry over!"
Red Demon Venerable nodded and grabbed Jiang Fan, using the Heavenly Human Three Decline movement technique, and hurriedly performed Instantaneous Movement towards the Extreme East.
Beside the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.
The intensity of the battle was no longer as fierce as it initially was.
Because both sides had fallen victims.
From the seventeen Giant Kings when Jiang Fan left, only ten were left alive.
The Human Clan’s Divinity Transformation practitioners from the Four States also suffered heavy casualties.
White Bone Venerable of Great Wilderness State fell, Purple Cloud Venerable’s Divine Ring shattered, Red Dust Venerable was heavily injured.
In Dan State, only Vice Palace Master You and one other Venerable remained fighting, the other two had already fallen.
Of the three Venerables from Divine Weapon State, only one was left battling!
Five of the reinforcements from the Three States had fallen, almost halved.
And in Taicang State.
The battle corpse lay broken at the edge of the battlefield, motionless.
Its controller, Jian Lanjiang, was nowhere to be found.
In such a massive battle with the Giant Kings, the fate of a Seven Orifice Nascent Soul like him wasn’t hard to guess.
After Bodhisattva, another strong fighter charging in the frontline had fallen.
The Heart Demon Venerable, Ming Ye Asura King, and Pingtian Bodhisattva, all were grievously injured, gritting their teeth to hold on.
Jiang Wuya’s Misfortune God Stele was barely resisting the strikes from the two Three Star Giant Kings.
The situation of Jiangshan First-class Building Owner and Red Sleeves was similarly bleak.
Red Sleeves fared slightly better; though newly advanced to Five Crowned King of Hell, their strength was inferior to the seasoned Netherworld King.
But relying on cunning and tactics, they barely held out against the enemy, sustaining injuries that were neither light nor heavy.
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner was in danger.
With little vitality left, he was no match for the Black Sun King.
His Divine Ring showed signs of cracking, and his emaciated body was riddled with frightening wounds.
Under the relentless attacks of the Black Sun King’s invincible physique, he retreated step by step.
"Cough cough~"
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner coughed out several mouthfuls of bile.
He no longer had any blood to spit out.
Feeling his body about to collapse, his face showed helplessness:
"Just a little more time, even if I could attain Inferior Sage."
"Alas, fate commands me to perish here."
With a heart yearning for death, unwilling to face the masses of Central Earth, a deep sense of mortality rose within the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner.
The Black Sun King also noticed the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner’s condition, a sinister look flashed on his face.
He gathered all his strength, moving instantly to deliver a final blow to the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner!
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner knew he could not withstand this attack, looking back at the earth behind him, he let out a long sigh:
"Sorry, Taicang homeland."
"I slew the Giant Emperor, yet failed to protect you."
However.
As he felt the pain of his body being torn by the fist’s winds, the Black Sun King suddenly withdrew his fist and retreated from the battlefield.
An expression of surprise and disbelief appeared on his face.
On his forehead, the five Original Stars rotated swiftly.
His Original was foreseeing the future.
At the moment of killing the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner, his Original Stars sensed a crisis and began to rotate on their own.
And captured an image of the future.
The content of the image was something he could not believe.
It showed he had died!
Even more bizarre was, he did not die at the hands of others.
He actually died at... the hands of the Netherworld King!
And in the image, he also saw a face he knew too well!
It was Jiang Fan!!!
He didn’t understand why the Netherworld King would kill him.
The only thing certain was this was related to Jiang Fan!
Thinking of the Ancient Saint’s proclamation that had spread to this place, unease grew in his heart.
Had Jiang Fan who broke through to the Divinity Transformation Realm become so extraordinary?
The future could not be changed.
Unless a tremendous price was paid, one he could not bear.
Thus, the Black Sun King quickly retracted his hand, hesitating whether he should return to the Heavenly Realm and avoid the cause and effect.
"Black Sun King, why did you stop?"
The distant Netherworld King frowned and asked.
Black Sun King hesitated and said, "We should withdraw, the future is not in our favor."
What?
The Netherworld King’s eyebrows arched.
The Black Sun King’s foresight was actually unfavorable for the Giant Kings?
How could that be possible?
The current situation was ten Giant Kings against nine, two Five-star Giant Kings beating the two human Great Venerates to retreat step by step.
The situation was favorable, victory in sight.
How could it be unfavorable?
Whoosh whoosh!
Just then.
Two waves of Divinity Transformation suddenly descended on the battlefield from the sky.
Among them, one Venerate emanated the aura of the Heavenly Human Three Decline.
The other was a peculiar youth with an unusual Divine Ring.
"Wang Chongxiao! Or should I say your name is Jiang Fan?"
"You actually achieved Divinity Transformation!"
The Netherworld King was somewhat incredulous.
Isn’t it supposed to be as hard as ascending to the heavens for humans to attain Divinity Transformation?
When Jiang Fan left not long ago, he was an Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul, upon return he was already Divinity Transformation!
Jiang Fan ignored him.
Looking over the battlefield, his heart sank.
Over half of the reinforcements from the Three States had fallen, and the rest were all injured.
But where were the people from Taicang State?
Suddenly, he performed Instantaneous Movement beside the battle corpse and saw it held a portion of an old Broken Hand.
He painfully closed his eyes.
This old man who narrowly escaped death in two battles ultimately couldn’t survive the third.
He had said earlier that there should be a place for him in the Taicang Mausoleum.
Now, his words have become a prophecy.
Jiang Fan drew out the severed hand, carefully placing it in a Jade Box.
The Heart Demon Venerable repelled a Giant King, came to his side, and apologized:
"Jian Clan Leader sacrificed himself to save me, mobilizing the battle corpse to block a fatal blow."
"He himself fell prey to the Giant King, who exploited the opening to devour him."
Looking at the Divine Ring at the back of Jiang Fan’s head, the Heart Demon Venerable felt even more guilt, clenching his fists, he spoke deeply:
"Jian Clan Leader died with a smile."
"Before his death, he heard the Ancient Saint’s proclamation."
Jian Lanjiang held infinite expectations for Jiang Fan, but at the moment when Jiang Fan attained Divinity Transformation, he closed his eyes forever.
He would never see it again.
Jiang Fan’s lips trembled slightly, his eyes roiling with indescribable emotions.
This Seven Orifice Nascent Soul old man, unafraid of death, fought alongside a group of Divinity Transformation combatants, battle after battle.
Wishing to carve a path of hope for Taicang State.
But just as hope was within reach, he fell.
"Which Giant King devoured him?"
Jiang Fan clutched the Jade Box tightly, his voice terrifyingly low.
