Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1553: Chapter 1591: The Great Wine Sacrifice Makes a Move

Everyone looked over curiously at the situation in the other states.

In theory, the Taicang State is the state with the lowest fortune among the Nine States, and the weakest strength.

They have achieved great victory, so the other states shouldn’t be far behind.

However, upon seeing the conditions of each state, everyone’s faces turned exceptionally grave.

Because, apart from the Demon Continent and Hunyuan State, which could match the fight against the Ancient Giants.

All the other states were showing an overwhelmingly one-sided defeat.

Great Wilderness State.

The death of the Wuyu Venerable took away a Three-Star Giant King, but in response to them came a Five-Star Giant King, along with twenty more arriving Giant Kings.

The army of Ancient Giants leading them had reached two thousand!

In contrast, the Great Wilderness State, apart from the fallen Wuyu Venerable in the Divinity Transformation Realm, had only ten Venerables.

After a fierce battle, the result was predictable.

Of the ten Venerables of the Great Wilderness State, only the Red Dust Venerable and two others were left struggling on the brink of survival.

The army of over a thousand Nascent Soul Middle Late Stage cultivators was reduced to only two or three hundred people.

Among the Ancient Giants, only three Giant Kings had fallen.

The giant army had bizarrely increased from two thousand to two thousand one hundred.

Not only did they not decrease in number, but they actually increased!

The Red Dust Venerable looked around at the dense, black mass of surrounding Ancient Giant army with a bitter expression.

She had anticipated that this battle would be hopeless, but had not expected it to be so utterly despairing.

The sacrifice of the Wuyu Venerable only brought a fleeting moment of hope to the Great Wilderness State, which was then mercilessly crushed by the Ancient Giant army.

They not only far surpassed in numbers and combat power but also possessed an almost cheating level of killing device.

And that is...

The Blood Pool!

The Ancient Giants had brought the Blood Pool, capable of transforming individuals into Ancient Giants, down to the Lower Realm.

Anyone captured, whether in the Divinity Transformation Realm or the Nascent Soul Realm, was thrown into the Blood Pool.

They paid a heavy price to slay a Giant King, only for a companion to be captured and transformed into a Giant King.

After painstakingly killing a section of Ancient Giants, swarms of Nascent Soul Realm individuals were captured and thrown into the Blood Pool.

As the battle raged on, the number of Ancient Giants only grew!

How can one even fight against this?

At this moment.

The Five-Star Giant King came forward holding the Blood Pool, speaking indifferently:

”Join the Blood Pool, and become one of my giants!”

”This is the favor I grant to the strong of the Great Wilderness State.”

Between the lines, only those in the Nascent Soul Middle Late Stage were eligible to become giants.

All other beings were not qualified.

They were only fit to become food.

The Red Dust Venerable tightly clenched her blood-stained silver teeth, hesitating on the spot.

She was not tempted by the idea of being transformed into a giant.

She was weighing whether to lead the remaining army for a final desperate attack.

Or to commit suicide before the Blood Pool, to avoid being captured and turned into a giant that would slaughter her own people.

If she chose the desperate attack, and they were captured, they would become allies of the giants.

But if she took her own life on the battlefield, it would only further benefit the Ancient Giants.

Amidst the inner struggle.

A slightly drunken voice suddenly echoed across the sky.

It was the Great Wine Sacrifice of the Great Wilderness State.

Aside from a bit of drunken slur, the voice was unusually powerful, filled with an inspiring strength:

”Battle report!”

”Taicang State has obtained a great victory!”

”Taicang State has obtained a great victory!!”

”Taicang State has obtained a great victory!!!”

The same words, repeated three times, resounded powerfully over the battlefield.

The demon cultivators were stunned, full of disbelief.

How could the Taicang State possibly win?

Wasn’t that the weakest state!

They barely even have a few Divinity Transformation Venerables!

The Red Dust Venerable exclaimed in disbelief: ”How can this be?”

She couldn’t rack her brains enough to figure out how Taicang State managed to win.

Until, the projection of the battlegrounds of the Nine States was displayed.

While the other Great States were engaged in fierce battles, Taicang State stood alone, smoke billowing.

The remaining army of the Taicang State, led by Jiang Fan, gathered on a battlefield littered with numerous Ancient Giant corpses, watching them.

The Red Dust Venerable’s eyes widened: ”Taicang State, truly won!”

”That’s right! Jiang Fan destroyed the Blood Pool of the Black Sun Royal Court, and cleared their Wolf Fang Club, and still managed to move the Connecting Sky Black Pillar to that Forbidden Land of Misfortune...”

”Taicang State indeed has a slim hope of turning the tide!”

”No wonder Jiang Fan, if I could be pressed by him just once, I would die without regrets today.”

The Venerate next to her rolled his eyes.

”Wake up! Taicang State succeeded, which means they can come to our aid!”

The Red Dust Venerable suddenly snapped back to reality.

Yes indeed!

If one state triumphs, they can aid another, and the Great Wilderness State currently faces the most severe plight.

Most likely they would come to aid them.

This means they still have a glimmer of hope!

She swept away her deathly resolve and sharply cried: ”Everyone hold on tight for me!”

”Your reinforcements are about to come to aid us!”

The remaining two hundred-plus Nascent Soul Middle Late Stage demon cultivators instantly regained their spirit.

”Be strong! Be strong! Be strong!”

”Strong! Stronger! Stronger! Stronger!”

The demon cultivators rekindled their fighting spirit, brimming with killing intent.

On the other hand, the giants appeared somewhat panicked.

They were full of disbelief as they watched the battle reports from Taicang State.

Although the Black Sun Royal Court was the weakest tribe, Taicang State was also supposed to be the weakest!

To annihilate Central Earth, the entire giant force was mobilized this time.

Ensuring that the strength of each tribe was double that of Central Earth’s Great States.

How did the Black Sun Royal Court lose?

Moreover, they were utterly defeated, being completely wiped out in Taicang State?

The eyes of the Five-Star Giant King flashed with a sharp light, coldly scanning the remaining demon cultivators.

He coldly ordered: ”Kill them all!”

”Proceed to Taicang, and avenge the Black Sun Royal Court!”

How could he allow Taicang State the chance to support others?

Upon the command, the dense tide-like Ancient Giants surged forward.

The Red Dust Venerable was not surprised.

How could Taicang State have enough time to rescue them besieged from all sides?

She rallied everyone to endure, just to exert some pressure on the giants, so they wouldn’t entertain the thought of capturing and converting them.

”Jiang Fan, go support other states.”

”Central Earth is counting on you all.”

She led the demon cultivators forward, eyes filled with killing intent, charging towards the giants.

Just like the final fight at Taicang State, where the sects charged like moths to the flame.

However.

A blue-robed thirty-year-old woman, draped in palace attire, mysteriously appeared between the two armies.

Her face was flushed with drunkenness, a wine gourd slung over her shoulder, unsteady on her feet, staggering.

She looked on the verge of toppling over at any moment.

”Great Wine Sacrifice? Why are you here?”

The Red Dust Venerable exclaimed in surprise.

The Great Wine Sacrifice, facing away from the Great Wilderness State’s demon cultivators, grabbed the wine gourd and took a deep gulp.

Then, she wiped her mouth with her sleeve and slurred drunkenly:

”Since Taicang State has won, with new hope in sight, it is time for us, the Great Wine Sacrifice, to make our move for you!”

The Red Dust Venerable cried out in shock: ”No!!”

”Great Wine Sacrifice, if you act, the Nine-Day Giant Emperor will lock onto you, repeating the misfortune of the Misfortune Sage from the past!”

The Great Wine Sacrifice reluctantly glanced at the wine gourd in her hand, then casually tossed it aside.

Looking skyward, she laughed: ”So many have sacrificed, it’s time for us, the Great Wine Sacrifice, to take action.”

”Central Earth could go without us, but cannot go without you all.”

She smiled as she walked forward, waving her hand without turning back:

”Hold on, victory will come.”
