Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1979: Chapter 2023: First Glimpse (Part 2)

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, then murmured to himself in a voice only he could hear:

"I actually wish you would be a bit harsher on me."

How to deal with the Asura Empress and her children was a dilemma for Jiang Fan.

He wanted to eradicate them to prevent future troubles, but the Asura Empress had been kind to him.

Especially at the root of hell, when they shared life and death, Jiang Fan was moved for a moment.

When it came time to eliminate the ancient giants of the Southern Heavenly Realm, would Jiang Fan really be able to kill her?

But if he didn’t kill her, then after killing the Heavenly Sword and Tian Ge, she would surely resent Jiang Fan and harbor a grudge against him.

"Ah, let’s take it one step at a time." Jiang Fan rubbed his temples.

Right now, he didn’t have the energy to deal with this matter.

What he needed to handle was the fierce beast under the Royal Court in front of him.

He took out the Heart of Ten Thousand Earths, and once again used it to easily locate and reach the underground space.

The fierce beast was also soaking in the Blood Pool.

This was all blood from the sacrificed giants, awakening them from their deep slumber to a lighter sleep.

Just a slight disturbance would suddenly awaken them.

Jiang Fan first prepared thoroughly for a swift escape before taking out a mat and carefully placing it over the fierce beast.

It seemed to sense the movement, as its tail swept across, and its eyelids twitched.

Jiang Fan’s heart almost jumped out of his chest in fright.

He was ready to activate the Heart of Ten Thousand Earths to escape!

Luckily, the mat worked, sending the fierce beast into a deeper slumber.

But he wasn’t careless.

The mat’s effect on the Three Calamities Realm couldn’t compare to the Asura Empress.

At most, it would only delay its awakening for a split second.

And that split second was exactly what Jiang Fan needed.

After adjusting his state, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he decisively took out a bottle of Tao Slave Filthy Blood, smashing it at the fierce beast.

Simultaneously, he decisively activated the Heart of Ten Thousand Earths to flee.

Before leaving, he also took the mat with him.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Jiang Fan successfully appeared outside the Royal Court.

Almost at the same time, a pair of terrifying eyes shot up from the underground, piercing the earth and activating the Saint Realm array around the Royal Court.

A black fierce beast rushed out of the ground with a world-destroying aura, roaring in pain.

Its fate was similar to the fierce beast of the Black Sun Royal Court.

After several struggles, it finally collapsed powerlessly.

Jiang Fan had no time to confirm its death and immediately used Instantaneous Movement towards the third Royal Court.

And the bargain-hunting Big Black Dog also arrived unexpectedly, its mouth splitting into a big grin:

"Hehehe! Another freebie, this kid’s luck is just too good!"

"Today, I’m going to feast!"

Time slipped by.

Roar—

In front of the eighth Royal Court.

Jiang Fan stood with his arms crossed, silently watching the fierce beast struggle and roar in the Saint Realm array until it powerlessly collapsed.

"Except for the Imperial Court, the last fierce beast is taken care of."

"The escape route for the ancient giants is cut off; now it’s time to deal with them."

"I wonder how the battle is going at this moment."

He glanced down at the Moon Realm, which had gone silent, his heart tightening.

At that time.

In front of the Central Imperial Court.

The ancient earth turned into a scorched wasteland, and the sky was battered and torn.

Except for the Imperial Court, which remained intact under the protection of the Saint Realm array, the rest was all in ruins.

Limbs and remains of the Human Clan, giants, and the Asura Clan littered the ground, and patches of black and red blood soaked the scorched earth, turning it into mud.

The cries, shouts, and roars of different races intertwined.

Together, they wove a tragic picture of war.

"How many of us are left?"

The Ice and Fire Demon Lord and the Mingye Shura King stood back-to-back, resisting the encirclement of four Giant Kings.

The two were panting heavily, drenched in blood, with demon power and Asura Power exhausted, even their physiques were enervated, making their actions sluggish.

The battle against overwhelming numbers was draining.

The Ice and Fire Demon Lord pulled a black poisoned stone arrow from his leg, asking with a pained expression.

This battle was much tougher than imagined.

The ancient giants and the Asura Clan had long prepared many preventive tactics, just like the Central Earth’s strong ones prepared many tactics to deal with the giants when the ancient giants descended upon Central Earth.

The poisoned stone arrow was just one of them.

Various methods, many of which restrained the Human Clan, caused them great casualties.

The Mingye Shura King’s expression was grave.

His eyes split into countless small eyes, like a bee’s compound eye, rotating to survey the entire battlefield.

Seeing this, his face sank.

"We only have a hundred left!"

What?

The Ice and Fire Demon Lord’s heart sank.

In such a short time, more than ninety comrades had fallen!

"What about the Southern Heavenly Realm?"

The Mingye Shura King said, "Giant Kings and Shura Kings, there’s a hundred and fifty left."

The Ice and Fire Demon Lord’s expression slightly softened.

In other words, the Southern Heavenly Realm lost over a hundred and thirty, with casualties more than half.

Most of this was thanks to the five extra Great Venerates from Central Earth compared to the Southern Heavenly Realm.

Their invincible strength made them like gods of killing on the battlefield, defeating Four-Crown Kings and Four-Star Kings alike.

If not for them, the casualties for Central Earth would have been even more dire, and the Southern Heavenly Realm wouldn’t have suffered such heavy losses.

The Ice and Fire Demon Lord gritted his teeth, saying, "Hold on! We suffered heavy casualties, but the Southern Heavenly Realm can’t hold on much longer either!"

"At worst, we’ll perish together!"

The Central Earth Army, having learned of the battle situation, felt a deep sense of grief.

More than half of the Divinity Transformation Realm army had already fallen.

They wondered if any among them were their own old friends.

But this only fueled their killing intent more.

"Let’s take these Southern Heavenly Realm scum down with us!"

The battle cries soared to the sky, and the momentum of the Central Earth Army surged once more.

The Giant Kings and Shura Kings in the skirmish were intimidated and involuntarily retreated, faint signs of defeat appearing.

In the sky, the Netherworld King, entangled in a duel with the Golden Scale Venerate, showed anxiety.

A battle of two hundred eighty against a hundred ninety had reached this point!

But he didn’t blame his own army.

In the face of the majestic offense of Central Earth, the Giant Kings and Shura Kings had given their best.

They had used all the means they could.

They also had the warrior spirit they needed.

The blame lay with the Central Earth Army, who fought recklessly, as if they had nothing to lose.

He had seen several humans get killed, and in their dying moments, they activated their Domains or Jade Talismans.

Either they perished with their enemies or trapped them, allowing their comrades to kill them.

Who wouldn’t fear such a mad enemy?

Moreover, their army contained five ferocious Great Venerates, cutting through the battlefield.

Gritting his teeth, he shouted loudly, "Use Outer Heaven Divine Blood! Now, immediately!"

Suddenly, all the Giant Kings acted, taking out barrels.

Although the Blood Pool of the ancient sinkhole had been destroyed, they had previously extracted some for today’s battlefield.

Their side had the numerical advantage earlier, mainly consisting of the Asura Clan, so recklessly using Outer Heaven Divine Blood would have affected them.

Now, the numbers on both sides were even.

If they didn’t use it now, it would be too late.
