No way!
It’s not just that he’s unharmed.
The ground shattered by the spear, the exposed nine-colored world barrier, and the void in the sky torn by the spear—all vanished!
As if they never existed!
"You... you’re not dead? This is an illusion?" The Sleeping Giant Emperor’s expression changed dramatically.
Jiang Fan also widened his eyes.
The Great Wine Sacrifice... not dead?
But what did he see earlier?
At this moment, the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner laughed, as if making a final effort, surprisingly managing a hint of strength, and said:
"Do you remember the way the Great Wine Sacrifice struck?"
Jiang Fan was taken aback; when had he seen the Great Wine Sacrifice strike?
Wait!
He remembered!
Back when they went to investigate in the Heavenly Realm, the Great Wine Sacrifice didn’t appear, but he did strike.
At that time, day turned to night, and all the stars in the sky fell onto everyone’s foreheads, becoming space seals, capable of instant movement for survival and to record their actions in the Heavenly Realm.
That scene seemed like an illusion.
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner reluctantly stood up and said:
"This is not low-tier illusion; it’s altering human perception."
"What we saw just now—the Nine-Day Giant Emperor’s strike, the death of the Great Wine Sacrifice—was him altering the perception of the surrounding world, far beyond illusion."
"Even the Virtuous Realm finds it hard to discern."
Jiang Fan was enlightened.
No wonder sometimes, looking at the Great Wine Sacrifice, he felt he had forgotten something.
It turned out to be his inadvertently released dao, altering Jiang Fan’s subtle perceptions, causing him to feel dissonance, as if something was missing.
The Sleeping Giant Emperor panicked, retreating towards the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, and said deeply:
"You pretended to be hit and successfully ambushed just to lure me down?"
He had been within the Connecting Sky Black Pillar all along.
If in a life-threatening situation, he could pay a price to escape back to the Heavenly Realm.
So, the Great Wine Sacrifice played along with them.
Once it was confirmed he had been successfully ambushed, he carelessly set foot in Central Earth.
The Great Wine Sacrifice stared at the Sleeping Giant Emperor, eyes sharp: "The one I most want to kill is you!"
"A thousand years ago, you were most ruthless in killing Wutong Venerable, Beixuan Sword Master, and my clan’s Sage Realm."
"You were heavily rewarded for this merit and promoted to the Two-Day Giant Emperor."
"Today, it’s time for you to repay the blood debt of the past!"
In an unusual move, the Great Wine Sacrifice spoke a lot.
For the first time, he showed hatred towards a living being.
He restrained himself from acting, even though the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner was about to fall, he still endured.
Just waiting for the Sleeping Giant Emperor to descend!
And now, he finally came!
The Sleeping Giant Emperor’s eyelids twitched wildly, he powered his foot and decisively leaped towards the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, shouting:
"Gangfeng, go to the other Connecting Sky Black Pillar!"
"This old thing can only strike once; he can’t kill both of us at the same time!"
The Great Wine Sacrifice’s expression was indifferent.
The horsetail whisk in his hand brimmed with merit power, and he suddenly swung it.
The strands of the whisk spread out like a spider web, forming an overturned bowl, enveloping a portion of the world.
Then the ends of the strands contracted, forming a gigantic sphere.
The Giant Emperors escaping in both directions were wrapped inside.
The Gangfeng Giant Emperor’s heart raced; he decisively launched a curse, transforming into an unimaginably fast wind blade, ruthlessly slicing at the whisk’s strands, attempting to forcibly escape.
Swish, swish, swish—
What made the Sleeping Giant Emperor’s scalp tingle with dread and horror was:
The Gangfeng Giant Emperor’s transformed gale froze in place.
