Supreme Emptiness

Jiang Fan looked up.

The Hell Beast had been forced back to its original form.

Terrifying wounds covered its body, with streams of black blood flowing down.

So much so that black rain began to fall from the sky.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master and the three Sea Demon Emperors were not faring any better.

The Pavilion Master's robes were burnt and torn, his hair disheveled, his breath unusually unsteady.

The East Sea Demon Emperor had a long scratch almost penetrating from front to back, any longer and she would have been split in two.

The South Sea Demon Emperor and that unfamiliar Sea Demon Emperor were in slightly better condition.

But they were also covered in wounds.

"Damn it, the Sky Demon Emperor hasn't arrived yet?"

The West Sea Demon Emperor said angrily.

The Pavilion Master also had a grim expression.

He thought the Sky Demon Emperor had arrived long ago.

But upon witnessing the might of the Hell Beast, he feared getting injured or even dying, so he dared not come forth.

This self-serving creature!

Previously, when massacres occurred within the Demon Race territory, he was anxious, repeatedly urging the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and Sea Demon Clan to act.

Now, with the Hell Beast at the Human Clan's doorstep, he washes his hands of it!

The East Sea Demon Emperor gritted her teeth and said, "Let's not talk about him."

"Fortunately, this Hell Beast somehow provoked a swarm of powerful worms, wounding it severely."

"Otherwise, just the four of us, today would have been doomed."

The dread of the Hell Beast far exceeded their expectations.

Many attacks failed to hurt it.

It's unimaginable; it was sealed for at least sixty years and was heavily injured by the Ice Worm swarm.

How terrifying would it have been at its peak?

"All of you, once I heal, I will devour you all!"

The Hell Beast roared.

It regretted pursuing that worm.

This led to the attraction of the Nightmare Ice Worm swarm.

Otherwise, dealing with these few in front wouldn't have been this passive.

The Pavilion Master's eyes turned cold.

If the Hell Beast escaped, they would be facing a nightmare.

He grabbed an ancient bamboo sword, shouting, "Everyone, we can't let it escape."

"At least, not let it escape so easily."

"We must ensure it won't recover for a long time!"

The three Sea Demon Emperors felt a chill in their hearts.

Immediately, they lunged forward.

Unleashing powerful water series innate divine abilities.

The Hell Beast fought and retreated skillfully, sneering:

"You think you can stop me from leaving?"

"Just wait for me!"

"Wait for my revenge..."

Just as it was speaking harshly.

A murmur came from the ground beneath it.

"Too much talking!"

"Get down!"

Before it could react.

An unimaginable force suddenly enveloped it, dragging it fiercely from the sky and smashing it to the ground!

The Pavilion Master and others were slightly taken aback.

Then their eyes gleamed brightly, seizing the chance to unleash their strongest attack.

"Ah!"

A gigantic front leg soared into the sky.

Following closely, a small half of its head was also flung away.

"Little People Clan!"

"It's you!"

The severely injured Hell Beast finally realized who acted!

Its blood moon-like eyes glared at the crack with boundless hatred.

Jiang Fan felt a chill in his heart and quickly said, "Elder, it's not me."

"You've misunderstood!"

"How could I possess such skills?"

The Hell Beast's anger surged: "That voice just now, was definitely you!"

It extended a giant claw, striking toward Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan's eyelid twitched; he decisively grabbed Gu Xin'er, using the last of his power of thunder and lightning to execute Cloud Shadow.

He successfully dodged behind the Pavilion Master and others just before the claw struck.

Once safe.

His expression changed, and he righteously shouted:

"Fiend!"

"Monsters like you should be destroyed by everyone."

The Hell Beast was furious, jumping in rage!

Oh.

Crying elder when in danger.

Safe now, and it's all about calling me a fiend?

The East Sea Demon Emperor's eye twitched as she glanced at the Pavilion Master.

The Pavilion Master's mouth twitched, saying, "He's new to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, just joined."

Implying, he wasn't taught by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

The South Sea Demon Emperor and the West Sea Demon Emperor also staggered slightly.

Though their expressions varied, their hands didn't pause a bit.

Taking advantage of the Hell Beast's ailment to strike it down.

The Hell Beast was beaten until its skin tore, continually roaring.

Suddenly, it laughed in anger.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Since you wish for misery!"

"I shall grant it to you!"

It suddenly opened its mouth, spitting out a black orb the size of a human head.

Their attacks, upon reaching the black orb, vanished without a trace like mud into the sea.

The Pavilion Master's face changed slightly, looking at the black orb in surprise.

What is this thing?

It can absorb Nascent Soul attacks?

The Hell Beast said chillingly, "Aren't you curious about how the Ancient Giants descended between Heaven and Earth?"

"I will answer you now!"

"It was we, the Hell Beasts, who guided them!"

"We Hell Beasts are the Guiding Envoy for the Ancient Giants!"

Boom!

Everyone felt a rumble in their minds.

In human history records, the Hell Beast was only described as appearing before the Ancient Giants emerged.

After the Ancient Giants appeared, they all mysteriously vanished without a trace.

The exact relationship between the Hell Beast and the Ancient Giants was mere speculation.

Now, they got the truth from a Hell Beast's mouth!

The Hell Beast slapped the black orb: "Originally, I intended to place this Guiding Sphere in a prosperous holy land like Taicang State."

"But since you court death."

"I will grant it to you, let this island be the first resting place for the Ancient Giants!"

"You all will die!"

"You'll all die!!!"

Snap—

It smashed the black orb.

A black beam shot skyward, connecting to an unknown height in the mysterious heavens.

The beam did not disappear.

It just continued to exist there.

Like a rope, connecting the unknown place and this island.

Boom boom—

Everyone's hearts pounded violently.

Suddenly they understood where the Ancient Giants came from.

From the sky, crawling down along the black beam!

"Hahaha!"

"When the Ancient Giants descend, I will personally watch as you are all devoured by them!"

The Hell Beast laughed while retreating.

Before leaving, it gave Jiang Fan a fierce look.

"Little People Clan!"

"I will personally take your life then!"

"Your Spiritual Pet stole my treasure!"

"You set me up to be chased by the Nightmare Ice Worm!"

"And ambushed me, causing me to fall from the sky and get badly injured!"

"I will settle these scores with you one by one!"

After speaking.

It transformed into a streak of black light and rushed into the distance.

But no one wanted to pay attention to it anymore.

Everyone solemnly stared at the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.

The Pavilion Master attempted to launch an attack, but again it vanished like mud into the sea.

The three Sea Demon Emperors exerted their full strength in turn.

The black pillar still stood motionless.

The Pavilion Master looked gravely serious: "We must quickly head to Taicang State and notify the various Divine Sects to solve this beam together."

"Otherwise, once the Ancient Giants descend, it will be world-ending!"

The four exchanged glances.

The South Sea Demon Emperor, with her long legs and solemn face, said, "I have to go."

"The Hell Beast went north."

"East Sea and West Sea need to guard against its return, as should your continent."

They agreed on a plan.

Then each began to heal and recuperate on the spot.

Jiang Fan intently stared at the black pillar.

Unsure if it was an illusion.

He seemed to feel the Void Ancient Tree within him tremble slightly.

He attempted to approach the black pillar.

To his surprise.

The black pillar shifted slightly.

As if... it feared him.
