Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1617: Chapter 1655: Prologue (First Update)

The spirits of each state stared intently at Jiang Fan, who alone possessed the divine ring among the crowd.

His mind was completely blank.

Starfire Venerable single-handedly slaughtered more than half of the Giant Kings?

Even the Netherworld King under the command of the Five-star Giant King was captured by him?

Ice Heart Venerate covered her small mouth, stunned for a good while before murmuring:

”Has this fellow truly ascended to the Divinity Transformation Realm?”

”I couldn’t achieve such a battle record!”

Many Divinity Transformation realm powerhouses revealed the same query.

”Why is my Divinity Transformation Realm different from his?”

”One person slaying more than twenty Giant Kings? And capturing the Five-star Giant King?”

”Is this something achievable by us in the Heavenly Person Decline of the Divinity Transformation Realm?”

...

After a brief silence, the area in front of Wenhai Academy erupted.

The defiant battle record left everyone incredulous.

”Heart Demon Venerable, is this true?” a Divinity Transformation realm cultivator from Holy Spirit State asked quietly.

Such a battle record was so outrageous, it was difficult to believe.

Heart Demon Venerable recalled in detail, calculated, then shook his head and said:

”That’s not the case.”

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As expected, the rumors were a bit exaggerated.

How could one person slaughter more than twenty Giant Kings?

Even if the blade was worn out, it wouldn’t be possible!

Who would have thought Heart Demon Venerable would then say:

”To be precise, Starfire Venerable single-handedly killed only twenty-two Giant Kings.”

”But if you include those aided, you can add ten more, that’s over thirty.”

Uh!

The crowd fell into dead silence once more.

Was the battle record not only not exaggerated, but understated?

Ice Heart Venerate widened her wondrous eyes, staring in shock at Jiang Fan: ”No, Wuque Ancestor Dao is just this defiant?”

Xingyuan Venerable’s eyes were bright, as if gazing at a dazzling treasure mountain:

”Jiang Fan, you alone are worth an entire state!”

”Such a battle record is simply unprecedented!”

”Even in the golden age of human clan elites a thousand years ago, you would be leading the ranks, a presence enshrined in history!”

”In today’s younger generation, aside from the Young Emperor, no one can replicate your glory!”

Everyone was filled with admiration.

To say Jiang Fan is the strongest in the Divinity Transformation Realm, no one would yield.

But to say he is the strongest among the young Divinity Transformation cultivators, no one objects.

A mere handful of peers under the heavens could surpass Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan remained calm, shaking his head slightly: ”I have merely stood atop the sacrifices of many.”

”Without the Bodhisattva’s third great vow, offering himself to feed the demons, without the Divinity Transformation realm cultivators from various states sacrificing themselves to save me, how would I have the chance to kill so many Giant Kings?”

”Senior, let’s proceed to discuss the plan for Hunyuan State.”

”For the upcoming final battle, what strategy do you have?”

The crowd turned serious.

The upcoming final battle was the most crucial.

Xingyuan Venerable’s face also became solemn, saying: ”Based on messages from the Great Wine Sacrifice, three armies from the central tribes are gathering above us.”

”Expected to reach Central Earth by midday.”

”And we are also assembling the powerhouses from each state for the ultimate showdown.”

Jiang Fan understood.

In other words, both sides were marshaling armies for a fight to the death.

According to the Ninth Army’s forces, the three central tribal armies should include 120 Giant Kings, plus three Five-star Giant Kings.

Jiang Fan looked over the already arrived Taicang State, Great Wilderness State, Dan State, Divine Weapon State, and Holy Spirit State.

Taicang State Divinity Transformation realm forces, eight.

Great Wilderness State Divinity Transformation realm forces, Red Dust Venerable and Purple Forbidden Venerable, two.

Dan State Divinity Transformation realm forces, Vice Palace Master You and two others, plus four not assisting Taicang, six in total.

Divine Weapon State, two from the Heavenly Human Decline aiding Taicang, plus four guarding Divine Weapon State, totaling five.

Holy Spirit State, twenty.

Totaling forty-one!

Relying on them alone is far from enough for the final battle against the Ancient Giants.

Jiang Fan asked: ”Senior, how many are left in Hunyuan State’s Divinity Transformation Realm?”

Xingyuan Venerable showed grief: ”Only myself, Qian Jiao Venerable, and Purple Cloud Venerable remain.”

Jiang Fan’s heart sank.

Only three were left; the other twelve Divinity Transformation realm cultivators had all perished in battle.

He forced himself to remain optimistic, saying: ”So now we have forty-four Divinity Transformation realm cultivators.”

”We must await reinforcements from Returning Ruins State, Demon Continent and Heavenly State.”

Xingyuan Venerable said: ”No need to wait for Heavenly State.”

”Historically, in battles with the Ancient Giants, Heavenly State has always been the main target.”

”This time, Heavenly State has been out of contact for so long, they must have encountered overwhelming enemies.”

”There’s no doubt the remaining five central tribal armies have descended upon Heavenly State.”

Gasp!

Five armies?

Jiang Fan’s scalp tingled, aside from ordinary Ancient Giants, there were a full two hundred Giant Kings!

Can Heavenly State hold?

Seeing Jiang Fan’s concern, Xingyuan Venerable reassured: ”Do not worry, Heavenly State’s prosperity is nearly equal to the central tribe’s status in the Heavenly Realm.”

”The forces they possess, even all the other eight states combined may not compare.”

Jiang Fan was secretly astonished.

Though he understood Heavenly State was indeed prosperous, given it housed countless powerful beings.

Such as Young Emperor Mountain, Moon Palace, Buddhist Path Holy Land, all in Heavenly State.

But he hadn’t realized Heavenly State was so powerful.

Yet precisely because of this, Heavenly State must be restraining the most enemies.

Otherwise, each state would have faced central tribal armies, with numerous Great States long fallen.

Jiang Fan said: ”So, we only await reinforcements from Returning Ruins State and Demon Continent.”

Forty-four against one hundred and twenty.

Jiang Fan felt heavy.

This was the final battle, not the prior skirmishes.

In a chaotic fight among over two hundred Divinity Transformation realm cultivators and Giant Kings, individual power was trivial.

Even a Heavenly Human Five Declines Venerate couldn’t change the outcome single-handedly.

”Hopefully, these two states will send more forces.”

He took a deep breath, feeling heavy-hearted.

Xingyuan Venerable observed the somber mood, and said calmly:

”Fear not, sages will join the final battle too!”

”It’s their level of fighting that determines the ultimate force of the final battle.”

”If our sages win, the Giant Kings will retreat without a fight.”

”Only if the sages lose will it be our turn to fight to the death.”

Jiang Fan’s eyes lit up.

Indeed, Ice Heart Venerate also mentioned earlier that Wan Yun Sage would descend upon Hunyuan State to join the final battle!

The sages guarding Central Earth would also fully engage in battle.

The Great Wine Sacrifice’s single-handed slaughter of three emperors had already created the greatest advantage for the sages’ level of combat.

If Central Earth’s sages win, the final battle could be declared victorious in advance!

Everyone was invigorated.

Central Earth still held a glimmer of hope!

Xingyuan Venerable, smiling, said: ”We have half a day’s time; do your utmost to prepare for battle.”

”Furthermore...”

He looked at the Nascent Soul cultivators from various states, rushing over covered in blood, and said:

”Friends from the Nascent Soul Realm, I represent Hunyuan State in thanking you for rescuing all living beings from calamity.”

”But I have one request, shamelessly asking your assistance.”

”That is to migrate as many of our human brethren from Hunyuan State as possible.”

Many Nascent Soul cultivators were solemn.

They understood Xingyuan Venerable’s meaning.

The reverberations from the sages’ level of combat could annihilate entire lands.

The great battles among the Divinity Transformation realm also wielded world-destroying power.

Once the final battle commences, regardless of victory or defeat, Hunyuan State would be turned into scorched earth.

All the creatures upon it would face catastrophic disaster.

Thus, a great migration was necessary.
