Bai Yanshu hadn't expected to see giants.
Legends of a giant race had once circulated on the Xuanhuang Continent, but no one had ever seen one with their own eyes.
At this moment, a giant, over ten zhang tall, burly and crude, appearing before them was so bizarre and sudden, as if conjured out of thin air, greatly shocking Bai Yanshu.
But the others were elated.
Tang Xiaoguo leaned against a large rock, panting, gripping her long sword. A spark ignited in her eyes, and she muttered, "The giants are here! Sister Su must have called them for help. That's wonderful..."
Li Tianjue's heart stirred. Luoluo, she had finally called the giants for help!
Shang Xie Shaoqing joyfully watched the towering figure and exclaimed, "The giants are here, that's great! As expected, Luoluo has wide connections and great influence, even managing to summon giants."
As he spoke, he mentally responded, but the divine soul of Emperor Haotian seemed to be asleep, paying him no attention.
Shang Xie Shaoqing sighed helplessly. Every time it mattered, the Emperor would go silent.
Truly unreliable.
Lady Yaoguang and Shang Xie Zhuo were also seeing giants for the first time, and not just one.
The next moment, a large number of giants materialized as if they had always been there. Upon appearing, they swung their massive clubs towards the Blood Kiss Winged Dragons in the sky. Roars filled the air, their momentum immense.
"Wala!"
"Iyaso!"
"Uraha!"
The giants immediately plunged into the frenzy of battle.
They roared and attacked. Although the Blood Kiss Winged Dragons were extremely fast, there were too many giants, and their tough, thick hides provided immense defense. Even with their sharp claws and fangs, they could only slightly wound the giants. They were utterly unable to withstand a single blow from the giants' clubs.
One by one, the Blood Kiss Winged Dragons were smashed to pieces by the clubs, their blood splattering. Despite their speed, they were beaten until they howled, constantly falling. This was a stark contrast to the earlier scene where everyone struggled against the Blood Kiss Winged Dragons and was gradually defeated.
Su Luo, standing on the shoulder of the giant Abu, appeared in everyone's sight.
Her long hair flew in the wind, her robes fluttered, and she, using Abu as a communication point, continuously issued attack commands. Her expression was resolute, her gaze sharp, like a valiant female war god, bringing hope of victory to the collapsing group.
She seemed more mature and courageous than before.
The others were immersed in the great joy and did not notice anything unusual. Only Li Tianjue's gaze remained fixed on Su Luo, sensing that she was somewhat different from before.
Though it was the same face, she seemed a little unfamiliar, no longer resembling someone of sixteen or seventeen years old.
It was as if time had reaped over a decade from her.
"Luoluo, what exactly happened to you?" Li Tianjue watched Su Luo intently, a vague sense of worry arising within him.
The others, however, were excited by the giants' might.
Shang Xie Shaoqing, watching the giants' bravery, couldn't help but marvel, "I've seen these giants before, they didn't seem this powerful. Why have they become so much stronger this time?"
Chu Tianshu and others, who had fallen from the light bridge and were unconscious, also narrowly escaped. When they opened their eyes, it happened to be the moment Su Luo returned with the giants, dominating the battlefield.
"We're not dead? That's great... Giants! What's going on? Aren't these the giants from the Giant King's Court? How did they all come out?"
Lu Jixing immediately understood, "It must be our junior sister who invited the giants. But what are these monsters?"
They had been unconscious earlier and didn't know these Blood Kiss Winged Dragons had flown out from the Divine Realm.
Everyone watched with great excitement, but no one knew that although Su Luo had only been gone for a quarter of an hour, she had spent a full ten years in the Giant King's Court.
Thanks to the special power of the Golden Horn, she had accelerated time within the Giant King's Court by a hundredfold. She spent ten years improving the giants' combat capabilities, taught them suitable cultivation techniques, and enhanced their physiques with elixirs, thus creating this formidable giant army.
Su Luo had endured her longing and worry, having been separated from the people of Qingxu Heaven for ten years.
No one knew her efforts and sacrifices.
With this force, the tide of battle immediately turned. The fierce and powerful Blood Kiss Winged Dragons were felled one by one, crashing to the ground. The remaining ones wailed and fled, and it seemed that victory would be achieved soon.
Moluo Jia, however, had a change of heart and seized the opportunity to rush towards the entrance to the Divine Realm.
Although he was also shocked that the girl from Qingxu Heaven could summon so many giants, for him, it presented an opportunity. He had no desire to fight these terrifying creatures to the death. While the giants were busy killing them, it was his chance to enter the Divine Realm.
With a flash, Moluo Jia transformed into an afterimage, charging towards the glowing entrance to the Divine Realm.
"Look quickly, Moluo Jia is trying to enter the Divine Realm!"
Shang Xie Zhuo, who had been watching him, cried out, and everyone immediately noticed Moluo Jia's movement.
But with the threat of the Blood Kiss Winged Dragons gone, Moluo Jia was incredibly fast, likely to enter the Divine Realm in an instant and attain godhood.
Lady Yaoguang's eyes narrowed, and she sharply commanded, "Stop him, don't let him get in!"
Although no one was certain that entering that luminous world would guarantee godhood, they dared not take the risk. Everyone pursued, spiritual lights scattering, attempting to intercept Moluo Jia. However, he had a head start and his cultivation was superior to theirs. The next moment, Moluo Jia stood before the radiant mass.
"Hahahaha... No one can stop this Demon Lord today!"
Without wasting any time, Moluo Jia flung this arrogant remark and directly charged into the glowing mass.
Everyone was stunned. Some froze in mid-air, others stood rigid. A strong sense of crisis washed over them, their minds going blank.
Rumble...
Boom boom boom!
The next moment, a strange sound erupted from the entrance to the Divine Realm.
Su Luo's eyes narrowed. What was happening?
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the glowing mass. Even the giants stopped, holding their clubs and curiously staring at the Divine Realm entrance above. Then, Moluo Jia's scream followed, "What is this? What is it! Ah—"
The sound was sudden, chilling, and continuous, as if he had encountered something terrifying. His screams were filled with shock and pain, "Save, save me... Ah..."
The sound gradually weakened, leaving everyone unable to imagine.
The mighty Demon Lord, with his heaven-defying cultivation, what could he have encountered that made even Moluo Jia powerless to resist and instinctively cry out for help?
Bai Yanshu's body turned cold, and he murmured, "This is really bad. It must be that most terrifying creature that has appeared."
He had always worried about this moment, but it seemed unavoidable.
Time slowly passed, yet it felt as if it had stopped. From within the glowing mass, a brownish-red hand slowly emerged, its fingers flexibly extending.
It was an immensely large hand. A single finger was like a pillar, larger than the giants. Its skin resembled bark. When its palm opened, one could see an ugly black mouth in the center, filled with dense, sharp teeth, as if capable of devouring everything.
After the arm came the shoulder, and then two more hands emerged, gripping the edges of the glowing mass and widening it, as if the entrance was too small, making it difficult for its massive body to pass through.
Boom boom boom...
Space vibrated, cracks appeared, and ripples rolled. The crowd recoiled in shock.
This immensely large creature slowly emerged. Everyone's pupils constricted. It was a headless person with six arms. Its face was on its stomach, and Moluo Jia's upper body was already in this large mouth, half-devoured.
