Ku Lei activated the Ku Secret Character and leaped into the void.
The Giant Emperor's hand grabbed nothing but air. Then, he took advantage of the momentum and pressed in another direction. That was where Ce Jiu was. He had already discovered Ce Jiu and slammed his palm into the ground. However, he also missed as Ce Jiu dodged.
In the distance, Ce Jiu breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the Giant Emperor in shock. He hadn't taken the initiative to come out, nor had he revealed his aura. Yet, the Giant Emperor had actually discovered him. If that was the case, then the others should have been exposed as well.
"Attack together! We've all been exposed!" Hui Santong roared. He raised his hand, and numerous golden meteors fell from the Dark Dome towards the Giant Emperor.
The Giant Emperor casually waved his hand, and the golden meteors, which were enough to cause even Enlighters to feel apprehensive, were all scattered. The Giant Emperor was not surprised by Hui Santong's presence, but just as he was about to attack, the tearful lady brushed past him. "Wuxin — Sorrowful Autumn."
The Giant Emperor's body froze. It was obvious that he had been hit.
Even though the Tearful Lady had lost to Xia Jiuyou, her Heartless Sorrow of Autumn battle technique had never failed before. Xia Jiuyou and Lu Yin had both withstood the attack, and now, even the Giant Emperor was unable to avoid it.
You Qin and Shu Jing followed closely behind Tearing Woman.
You Qin's Spirit Chain Rend landed directly on the Giant Emperor's knee, while Shu Jing's straight line attack landed on the Giant Emperor's other knee. They wanted to force the Giant Emperor to kneel on the ground.
However, their attacks were unable to break through the Giant Emperor's defense. They were still lacking by a bit.
The Giant Emperor lowered his gaze and looked at You Qin and Shu Jing. He reached out to grab them, but the two of them dodged at the same time.
The Giant Emperor frowned. He sped up, but he still couldn't catch the two of them.
Whether it was the Giant Emperor's attack or defense, it was far superior to everyone else's. However, everyone else wasn't weak either. At the very least, they were able to dodge its attacks.
Xia Jiuyou appeared beside the Giant Emperor. The dark light in his palm turned into a blade, and he slashed out with the Three-Style Blade Will.
The first saber intent landed on the Giant Sovereign's neck, but it did not break through his defense. Following that was the second saber intent. The Giant Sovereign seemed to be afraid. He blocked the second saber intent with his left hand and clenched it tightly. He punched at Xia Jiuyou, forcing Xia Jiuyou to hold back his third saber intent.
In the distance, Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. He had watched Xia Jiuyou's numerous battles, and he had only successfully unleashed the third blade of the three forms of Blade Intent a few times. Even he felt anxious for Xia Jiuyou.
Everyone took turns to attack. So far, they had not hurt the Giant Emperor, but they had successfully angered it.
With a furious roar, the Giant Emperor's fists collided. Violent shockwaves swept out in all directions, forcing everyone to retreat. The only ones who weren't affected were Xia Jiuyou and Tearing Lady.
The Giant Emperor suddenly attacked the Tearful Lady. He reached out to grab her, but his speed was much faster than before. The Tearful Lady was unable to react in time, and she was caught in the Giant Emperor's palm.
The Giant Sovereign's lips curled up. He exerted strength in his right palm, causing the woman in tears to spit out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were ice cold. It was unknown what she had done, but the Giant Sovereign suddenly let go, as if he had suffered some sort of injury.
The tearful lady fell to the ground and panted heavily. She raised her hand and pointed it at the Giant Emperor. "Secret technique – Banish."
In the next moment, just as the Giant Emperor was about to continue attacking, his body inexplicably took a few steps back. He tripped over the stone wall of the blood pool and fell into the blood pool. Blood splattered everywhere, soaking the tearful lady's body. It was as if she had walked out of a pool of blood.
The tearful lady narrowed her eyes. Ever since she had successfully cultivated the Banish secret technique, very few people had been able to withstand it head-on. Among those of the same generation, only Xia Jiuyou had been able to neutralize it with the Secret Technique of the Xia Word. The Giant Emperor had indeed been hit by the secret technique, but because the difference in strength was too great, he had only been pushed back a few steps.
The others were apprehensive. The Giant Emperor was much more powerful than they had imagined.
At the same time, they were also worried that the other guardian giants would appear. If that happened, they would not be facing just one Giant Emperor, but the entire giant civilization.
Fortunately, the battle in the blood pool did not alert the other guardian giants. It was also possible that they had been affected by the blood loss earlier, so they did not notice the battle here.
The Giant Emperor walked out of the blood pool and faced everyone's attacks head-on.
With a furious roar, the Giant Emperor was enraged. He raised his hand and slapped everyone with his palm.
Not only was their combined attack dispelled, but the strong wind pressure also sent everyone flying. This time, even Xia Jiuyou and the tearful lady were no exception.
Only Ce Jiu managed to dodge the attack with the Secret Technique of the Ce Word. However, he did not have it easy either. The Giant Emperor looked at him and waved his hand. A second wave of wind swept out, tearing apart the stone fence and sending Ce Jiu flying.
Ce Jiu crashed to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale.
Everyone was like ants in front of the Giant Emperor. The difference in strength was too great.
Fortunately, the Giant Emperor did not cultivate any battle techniques. Otherwise, with such a huge difference in strength, only a few people would survive after a round of attacks.
Xie Xiaoxian did not make a move. She sneaked closer to the blood pool.
However, the Giant Emperor was not like the other guardian giants. He did not ignore Xie Xiaoxian.
When Xie Xiaoxian climbed up the stone wall of the blood pool, the Giant Emperor's gaze also fell. He raised his hand and slapped at Xie Xiaoxian as if he was swatting a fly.
Xie Xiaoxian cried out in shock. The bones on her body extended and transformed into battle armor. With a bang, she was sent flying.
The Giant Emperor stood beside the blood pool and swept his gaze across everyone. His eyes were filled with cold arrogance and mockery. It was as if he was looking at a group of ants.
Xia Jiuyou sighed. This was a suppression of strength. Their attacks could not break through the Giant Emperor's defenses. It was almost impossible for them to win. As he thought about this, he looked at Hui Santong in the distance.
Hui Santong had already used his secret technique, the Secret Art of Wisdom. It could break through all battle techniques and find the enemy's weak points. However, at this moment, he could not find the Giant Emperor's weak points. All of their attacks were like child's play. It was impossible for them to obtain Progenitor Chen's blood.
The tearful woman's mask was about to shatter. She was the most injured out of everyone. If she had not used her secret technique to transfer her injuries to the Giant Emperor, she would have been finished.
"Is there any way?" Ku Lei asked Hui Santong.
Hui Santong shook his head. "With the Giant Emperor's strength and defenses, even if we worked together, it would be useless."
Ku Lei cursed inwardly. Progenitor Chen's blood was very important to everyone. Now that it was right in front of them, they could not obtain it.
Ce Jiu was helpless. They would rather face the Guardian Giants, who were stronger but had no intelligence, than face an intelligent Giant Emperor.
The Giant Emperor raised its foot and approached the group. Its large body exerted an intense pressure, and its fists were clenched tightly.
Suddenly, the Giant Emperor attacked in another direction, raising a hand and pressing down.
That direction was where Silver, Lu Yin, and Ghoul were.
If the Giant Emperor could discover Xia Jiuyou's group, how could it not?
Xia Jiuyou and the rest were confused. They had all been exposed, so who was the Giant Emperor attacking?
Ku Lei thought of Ku Wei. It couldn't be him, right? With that guy's strength, he should not have been able to approach this place.
When Silver's group charged out, Xia Jiuyou and the rest were shocked. The Neohuman Alliance?
The Giant Emperor's attack landed on the ground, causing the ground to crack and the blood pool to boil.
Silver's group dodged the attack and looked at Xia Jiuyou's group with a radiant smile. "We meet again, everyone."
The tearful woman's eyes narrowed, and she attacked Silver without hesitation.
Silver helplessly dodged. "Everyone, our current enemy is the Giant Emperor."
Shu Jing raised a hand and sliced through the void, but Silver dodged again.
"To us, you're even more of an enemy than the Giant Emperor," Shu Jing said coldly.
Silver was helpless. "That's why you people are so stubborn. Right, I brought you an acquaintance." He pointed into the distance, and everyone looked over.
Lu Yin dodged the Giant Emperor's palm, but the Giant Emperor followed up with another palm strike. Lu Yin's black robes fell off, revealing his true appearance.
Ku Lei and the rest were shocked. "Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin landed in the distance, his eyes filled with death as he stood there in a daze.
Ghoul was nearby as well.
Hui Santong stared at Lu Yin. What's that?
In the distance, Xie Xiaoxian also saw it.
Death aura? She looked at Silver, her eyes filled with hatred.
Silver grinned as he looked at Xia Jiuyou and the others. "I'll give you a choice. Either you attack the Giant Emperor together, or …" At this point, his face turned cold, and he opened his eyes. "I'll have Corpse Ghost destroy you first."
Xia Jiuyou and the rest clenched their fists as they recalled the battle on the golden screen in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Back then, they had teamed up with Levitating Mavis, but Qiu Shi and the rest had still not been able to defeat Ghoul.
"Wrong! We have a third choice, which is to join forces with the Giant Emperor and destroy you!" Hui Santong barked. "Attack!"
The next moment, everyone charged at Ghoul.
Their actions attracted the Giant Emperor's attention, and he stopped staring at Lu Yin. Instead, he raised a hand and swatted at everyone.
Silver's eyes were cold as he watched everyone's actions.
When the Giant Emperor's palm landed, everyone scattered and dodged before closing in on Ghoul once more.
Ghoul immediately activated the Third Transformation of the Corpse King Transformation, and her red eyes were shocking. Even the Giant Emperor was shocked by her terrifying physical strength, and he subconsciously swatted her away, smashing her into the ground and creating a deep crater.
Silver raised his brows and looked at the Giant Emperor solemnly. He had underestimated this fellow, as Ghoul's physical strength was far more terrifying than what he had initially shown. Was this the power of absorbing Progenitor Chen's blood?
Even Ghoul, who was at the Third Transformation of the Corpse King Transformation, was no match for the Giant Emperor. Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat.
The Giant Emperor reached out for Ghoul.
Silver raised his hand.
Silver light flashed from his blade as it flickered on the Giant Emperor's body.
The Giant Emperor did not seem to care at all, and he reached into the ground with one hand. Just as he was about to grab Ghoul, Ghoul suddenly opened her eyes and charged out, punching at the Giant Emperor's face. Caught off guard, the Giant Emperor was struck in the nose, and he was forced back several steps as blood flowed from his nose.
Everyone was shocked. Aside from Tear Lady's unblockable battle technique, Heartless Sorrow of Autumn, and secret technique, Ghoul was the only one who had managed to injure the Giant Emperor in a head-on clash.
The Giant Emperor was enraged by Ghoul's punch, and he roared as he swatted out with his palm. This slap was much faster than before, but fortunately, Ghoul had been prepared for it. Otherwise, she would have been struck.
A black aura of death spread out from Silver's body and surged into Ghoul's body.
Back on the golden stage, Ghoul had single-handedly fought against Ascendant Mavis, Wen Sansi, Quiet Weep, and several other top experts. She had absorbed the aura of death and reached the Third Transformation of the Corpse King Transformation, causing everyone to feel suffocated. Now, that power had reappeared.
