Chapter 1165: Exposed
Ce Jiu had successfully escaped, and he heaved a sigh of relief far off in the distance. He did not dare to reveal his presence, and he did not want to actually fight against the Giant Emperor. After escaping, Ce Jiu stared at the Giant Emperor in shock, as the giant had actually managed to discover him. That meant that the others had also been discovered.
“Let’s team up to fight him! Our covers have already been blown!” Hui Santong shouted. He raised a hand, causing numerous golden meteorites to fall down from the black dome above and hurtle towards the Giant Emperor.
The Giant Emperor casually smacked away the various golden meteorites, despite each of them being powerful enough to threaten Enlighters. The giant did not seem surprised when Hui Santong revealed himself either, immediately readying his next attack. Suddenly, Lei Nü flew past the giant while saying, “Autumn’s Sorrow.”
The Giant Emperor’s body trembled, and it was clear that he had suffered a hit.
Although Lei Nü had lost to Xia Jiuyou, her Autumn’s Sorrow technique had not failed even once in battle. Xia Jiuyou and Lu Yin had both suffered from this technique, and the Giant Emperor was no different.
Yōu Qin and Shu Jing both followed up with attacks of their own after Lei Nü made a move.
Yōu Qin’s Soulsplitter technique slashed at the Giant Emperor’s knee while Shu Jing\'s straight line attack struck the other kneecap. The two were hoping to bring the Giant Emperor to his knees and restrict his movements.
However, their attacks were severely lacking in power and were unable to penetrate the Giant Emperor’s defenses.
The Giant Emperor looked down at Yōu Qin and Shu Jing. He then tried to grab the pair, but they fled right after launching their attacks.
The Giant Emperor’s brows furrowed. He had sped up a great deal, but he still had not caught anyone yet.
The Giant Emperor’s attacks and defenses were stronger than any other giant, but the humans were not in too bad of a position either. So far, they had managed to evade all of the giant’s attacks.
Xia Jiuyou appeared behind the Giant Emperor, and light radiated from his hands that took on the form of a saber that slashed at the Giant Emperor. It was the Triple Blade Will.
The first blade slashed at the Giant Emperor’s neck, but it was a futile attempt. The next attack, however, forced the Giant Emperor to be wary. He raised his left hand to block the blade while he clenched a fist and punched at Xia Jiuyou, which prevented Xia Jiuyou from releasing the third blade.
Lu Yin’s heart skipped a beat as he watched Xia Jiuyou fight the Giant Emperor in the distance. Lu Yin felt extremely frustrated on Xia Jiuyou’s behalf, as this person seemed to always be unable to use the third blade of his Triple Blade Will.
Everyone took turns attacking the Giant Emperor, but no one was successful in causing any damage. Instead, they only managed to infuriate the Giant Emperor even further.
The Giant Emperor roared and punched two fists into the air. A violent gust of wind blasted out in all directions, pushing everyone back. The only two who were unaffected were Xia Jiuyou and Lei Nü.
The Giant Emperor suddenly lashed out and tried to grab Lei Nü. This time, his speed was drastically faster than his previous movements. As a result, Lei Nü was unable to react in time, and she was caught.
The Giant Emperor grinned and squeezed his right hand, causing Lei Nü to vomit blood as his grip tightened. Her eyes turned exceptionally cold, and suddenly, the Giant Emperor released her, as if he had been hurt.
Lei Nü plummeted to the ground and panted heavily. Still prone, she raised a hand and directed it at the giant. “Secret technique: Banishment.”
The next moment, just as the Giant Emperor was about to attack her again, he staggered back several steps, tripped over the pool of blood, and fell into it. The blood from the pool splashed out, drenching Lei Nü.
Lei Nü’s focus sharpened. Ever since she had successfully comprehended Banishment, very few people had ever managed to take it head on. Out of her peers, Xia Jiuyou was the only one who had managed to forcefully nullify it with the Xia secret technique. As for the Giant Emperor, the discrepancy in their power level meant that he had only retreated a few steps.
The battle pressure was mounting, as the Giant Emperor was far more powerful than anything the youths had anticipated.
At the same time, they were worried that other guardian giants would return. If that happened, then they would be forced to fight against the entire guardian giant civilization, not just the Giant Emperor.
Fortunately, the battle next to the pool of blood did not alert the other guardian giants. This might have been partly because the giants had all given a bit of blood to the pool earlier, but regardless, they had not joined the fight.
The Giant Emperor emerged from the pool, and everyone began attacking him.
He roared in anger and tried to sweep them all away with a palm.
Not only were the humans’ attacks nullified, but the wind unleashed by the giant’s palm also sent them flying into the air. This time, even Xia Jiuyou and Lei Nü were blown away.
Ce Jiu was the only one who had managed to evade this attack with his Ce secret technique, though he was not much better off than the others. The Giant Emperor glared at Ce Jiu and sent another slap towards him. This time, the gust broke the stone pillar-like fences as Ce Jiu was sent flying.
Ce Jiu crashed to the ground and vomited out a mouthful of blood, his face extremely pale.
The humans were like mere ants to the Giant Emperor, and the gap in their strength was simply too overwhelming.
Fortunately, the Giant Emperor did not have any battle techniques. If he had, then none of the humans would have been able to survive.
From the beginning of the entire event, Xie Xiaoxian had not attacked even once. Instead, she had been stealthily creeping closer to the pool of blood.
However, the Giant Emperor had also kept his eye on her.
Just when Xie Xiaoxian was about to climb over the stone walls surrounding the pool, the Giant Emperor looked straight at her and slapped at her as if she were a fly.
Xie Xiaoxian screamed in terror as her bones covered her and formed a set of body armor right before she was sent flying.
The Giant Emperor stood tall beside the pool and arrogantly looked down upon the humans with contempt clear in his eyes.
Xia Jiuyou huffed in frustration. He knew that the difference in their power levels were too vast and that their attacks could not pierce the Giant Emperor’s defenses. It was nearly impossible for them to win. Helpless, Xia Jiuyou looked over at Hui Santong.
Hui Santong had already used his secret technique, Omnibreak. This secret technique was able to break down his enemies’ battle techniques and reveal their fatal flaws. However, Hui Santong had unfortunately found that he could not find the Giant Emperor’s weakness. All of their attacks were like child’s play to the Giant Emperor. It was impossible for them to obtain any of Progenitor Chen’s blood from the pool.
Lei Nü’s mask had almost cracked open, as she had suffered the most damage so far. If not for her secret technique, Discipline, which had reflected a lot of damage that she would have otherwise suffered back to the Giant Emperor and caused him to release her, then she would have died.
“Any ideas?” Ku Lei pressed Hui Santong.
Hui Santong shook his head. “There’s no way to deal with his offence and defense.”
Ku Lei cursed. Progenitor Chen’s blood was extremely important to all of them here. Even worse, it was right in front of them, but they could not touch it.
Ce Jiu was extremely frustrated; they would rather face any of the dumb guardian giants than this Giant Emperor.
The Giant Emperor lumbered towards the humans, his towering body giving off a tremendous amount of pressure. He clenched his two fists together to form a hammer fist, and everyone started to panic.
Suddenly, the Giant Emperor smashed a different place than before.
The place that the giant had attacked was precisely where Silver, Lu Yin, and Beast had been hiding.
The Giant Emperor had been able to discover Xia Jiuyou and the others, so he had naturally noticed the trio as well.
Xia Jiuyou was rather confused; everyone was standing together, so what was the Giant Emperor targeting?
Ku Lei considered the chances Ku Wei had shown up.
Actually, no. With his strength, he could never make it here.
Everyone was stunned when Silver and two others appeared.
The Neohuman Alliance?
The Giant Emperor’s attack slammed into the ground and split the earth open, causing the blood in the pool to churn violently.
The trio dodged the attack, after which Silver looked at the others and smiled brightly at them. “Hello everyone! We meet again.”
Lei Nü’s pupils shrank, and she instantly attacked Silver.
Silver could only dodge, and he exclaimed, “Guys, our enemy’s the Giant Emperor!”
Shu Jing raised his hands and also attacked Silver, who managed to evade yet again.
Shu Jing coldly declared, “To us, you’re a worse enemy than that Giant Emperor.”
Silver was left with no choice and said, “That’s why you guys are a bunch of blockheads. Oh right, I brought someone along.” He pointed to a figure off in the distance, and everyone turned to look.
Lu Yin had evaded the Giant Emperor’s attack, but the resulting shockwave had blown back his black robes, revealing his appearance.
Everyone was shocked. “Lu Yin?!”
Lu Yin landed on the ground with death energy obviously filling his eyes. He stood motionlessly where he landed near Beast.
Hui Santong stared at Lu Yin.
That’s…
Xie Xiaoxian saw it as well. She glared at Silver with hatred.
Death energy? These damned Specter bastards…
Silver beamed at everyone. Even his eyes smiled as he said, “I’ll give you a choice: either deal with the Giant Emperor, or…”
His expression instantly grew extremely cold as his eyes opened wider. “I’ll have Beast eliminate you all first.”
Xia Jiuyou and the others clenched their fists, and they all recalled the fight in the Mountain and Seas Zone. Back then, they had joined hands with Yuhua Mavis and Qiu Shi, but they still hadn’t been able to defeat Beast. Currently, they did not stand the slightest chance of victory.
“Wrong, we have a third choice: join forces with the Giant Emperor to deal with you,” Hui Santong shouted in reply. “Move!”
Everyone immediately began to attack Beast.
Their actions took the Giant Emperor’s attention away from Lu Yin, and the giant raised his hands to attack all the humans.
Silver’s expression remained extremely cold as he watched everyone attack.
The Giant Emperor slammed a fist down, and everyone separated to dodge the attack before dashing forward towards Beast once again.
Beast immediately underwent the third corpse king transformation, and its crimson eyes put a huge amount of pressure on the attackers. The corpse king’s increased physical strength caught the attention of the Giant Emperor, so the giant smacked at Beast, sending it crashing into the ground and leaving a large crater behind.
Silver frowned and reevaluated the Giant Emperor. He had underestimated the giant’s powers, and the Giant Emperor was clearly more powerful than he initially appeared to be.
Is it because the Giant Emperor absorbed Progenitor Chen’s blood?
Lu Yin was rather shocked to see that, even after undergoing a corpse king transformation, Beast was still unable to fight against the Giant Emperor head on.
The Giant Emperor reached out for Beast.
Silver’s butterfly knife flickered as he slashed at the Giant Emperor’s body, but the Giant Emperor did not care about his attack in the least. Right when the giant was about to grab ahold of Beast, which was lying in the pit, Beast opened its eyes and punched at the Giant Emperor’s nose. The Giant Emperor was caught off guard by this sudden attack, and he staggered back as blood dripped down from his nose.
Everyone was stupefied, as Beast’s first attack had managed to harm the Giant Emperor in a direct confrontation. And the corpse king didn’t even have a technique like Lei Nü’s unblockable Discipline or Autumn’s Sorrow.
The Giant Emperor roared with rage, and he slapped at Beast once again. This time, he was even faster than before. However, Beast evaded this blow.
Death energy flowed out from Silver’s body and into Beast. Before, the influx of death energy had allowed Beast to crush the universe’s most powerful youths atop the golden screen. Now, that same power had appeared once again.
