“Just you then…” Lin Fan noticed the middle head among the three from the Giant King, which looked the fiercest and presumably the strongest. He decided it would be best to strike it first.
If hitting just one head could knock the Giant King unconscious entirely, then it would be worth it.
And if it awoke, he wouldn’t be afraid either, because at least one head would already be eliminated.
“I’m going for it…”
Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!
The legendary red brick in Lin Fan’s hand was wielded with divine skill. As he moved, space itself seemed to retreat, without even a whisper of wind.
Smack!
It worked.
Lin Fan was delighted, but at that moment, the Giant King, which had been asleep, suddenly opened its eyes. Its thick eyelids flew open, revealing golden irises that surveyed the world with dominance, as a sharp gleam erupted forth.
Roar!
The Giant King, enraged at someone daring to disturb its slumber, let out a furious, monstrous roar.
The violent sound swept across the land, and under this roar, the surrounding massive ancient trees tilted and collapsed.
“Wow, so powerful.” Witnessing this, Lin Fan’s heart trembled. This ancient beast at the Qing Tian level was indeed extraordinary; even someone like Xu Wei, at the same level, would stand no chance.
The tremendous roar disturbed the resting “Justice Squad.”
Xia Zehua shivered all over. The aura contained within that roar was overwhelming, clearly belonging to a formidable ancient beast.
“It’s awake; there’s an enemy attack.”
This earth-shaking roar sounded as if it exploded right beside them, making Xia Zehua naturally tense.
“What’s going on…” Mu Liang, who had been dreaming of playing with his clansmen, suddenly woke up. Upon hearing about an enemy attack, he quickly grabbed his weapon, ready to enter a combat state.
“Hey, where’s the enemy?”
Everyone looked around, puzzled, as the surroundings were eerily quiet, showing no sign of an enemy.
Roar!
At that moment, everyone heard a thunderous sound coming from afar. They also saw those towering ancient trees collapsing heavily, leaving them astonished and clueless about what was happening.
“Where is Brother Lin?”
“Could it be over there?”
After a moment of contemplation, Xia Zehua gestured with his hand. “Follow me…”
…
At this moment, Lin Fan, staring at the ancient beast before him, hadn’t expected the Qing Tian-level Giant King to be this formidable.
He had originally thought that knocking one of the Giant King’s heads senseless would significantly reduce its combat power. However, Lin Fan now realized things weren’t going as he had imagined.
The Giant King’s massive front claws struck down, leaving five claw marks in the void, as if tearing space itself apart.
Lin Fan hastily retreated, shaking his arm.
He had just clashed head-on with the Giant King. Even his arm, which held the Eternal Axe, now ached painfully.
Each strike was immensely powerful, as if capable of collapsing the heavens and splitting the earth.
The middle rank of Qing Tian level was indeed not to be underestimated.
The Giant King patted its drooping head with its huge claws, looking puzzled. Why had this head gone completely numb?
Smack! Smack!
It patted again, but felt nothing. The remaining two heads extended their tongues, licking the numb head, but still felt no sensation.
Roar!
Furious, the Giant King fixed its gaze on the figure before it. The numbness in its head must have been caused by this fellow.
Despicable! Simply despicable!
Seeing the Giant King’s current state, Lin Fan smiled. “Three-headed monster, stop licking. Once you’ve been hit by my brick, you should obediently stay dazed for a minute. Even if the heavens collapse, you won’t be able to lift your head.”
Now Lin Fan needed to seize this opportunity to kill the Giant King. Even though one head had been knocked senseless, it was still this fierce. If that head awakened, who knew what destruction it could cause.
The Giant King roared furiously, and its two front claws slammed down on the ground, creating cracks spreading like turtle shell patterns.
Whoosh!
“Uh?” Suddenly, the Giant King’s figure vanished from Lin Fan’s sight.
This speed made Lin Fan’s expression darken, and he grew serious.
The Giant King’s speed was quite fast, not through spatial teleportation, but purely through physical movement.
At that moment, a dangerous aura appeared before Lin Fan, and the towering form of the Giant King abruptly emerged, striking down with one claw.
“Damn, so fierce.” Lin Fan reacted instantly, swinging his axe upward.
Boom!
A powerful force erupted from Lin Fan as he clashed with the claw. The ancient sacred land beneath them, known for its incredible hardness, sank dramatically, instantly creating a deep pit.
As Lin Fan prepared to counterattack, a claw struck from his flank.
“Not good…” Lin Fan was alarmed.
“Gengu Bumie (Eternal Indestructibility)!”
At this moment, Lin Fan could only endure the blow. His frail body suddenly erupted with a琉璃-like glow.
(Note: “琉璃” is transliterated as “liuli” in English, which refers to a type of Chinese glass or gemstone often associated with vibrant colors and a translucent appearance.)
Here is the revised translation for better clarity and fluency:
At this moment, Lin Fan could only withstand the impact. His frail body suddenly emitted a glowing light, resembling the brilliance of liuli.
Bang!
Puu…
Lin Fan was struck by the Giant King’s claw, five deep gashes instantly appearing on his body, blood gushing out like boiling water.
Dozens of meters away, Lin Fan steadied himself, warily watching the Giant King.
“I underestimated it. I didn’t expect an ancient beast at the middle rank of Qing Tian to be this strong. I was too arrogant.” Lin Fan wiped the corner of his mouth, removing the bloodstains. Automatically, the “Blood Sea Cultivation Method” began to activate.
The blood that had spilled out at this moment automatically flowed back, and the five fierce wounds began to heal on their own.
“Ding! Congratulations, ‘Gengu Bumie’ has gained 1000 experience.”
“Good job! I didn’t expect you to catch me off guard like that. You should be proud among beasts.” Even back in the Xuan Huang Realm, no ferocious beast had ever injured him this badly. He never expected to meet a formidable opponent like this in the Gu Sheng Realm.
With ancient beasts developing at this rate, Lin Fan couldn’t help but believe that ancient beasts could give rise to existences like the ancient great demons.
The difference between the middle and initial stages of Qing Tian level was simply too vast.
“It seems I indeed underestimated you guys.” Lin Fan had killed Xu Wei, who was at the initial Qing Tian level, while at the peak of Di Tian level. This huge leap across cultivation levels had naturally made Lin Fan confident. However, now he had to admit that ancient beasts were far more powerful than other races.
Roar!
The Giant King roared at Lin Fan, its proud demeanor seemingly mocking him, ridiculing this human for overestimating his abilities.
“Heh…” At this moment, Lin Fan’s fighting spirit flared. “Three-headed monster, don’t get too cocky. I was just careless earlier. Soon, I’ll show you what true terror is.”
At this time, Lin Fan heard sounds from the surroundings and felt somewhat helpless. It seemed he had indeed disturbed them.
From afar, Xia Zehua and others could already see Lin Fan’s figure. Upon arriving at the scene and seeing the three-headed ancient beast, they were immediately astonished.
“The Giant King!”
“Brother Lin, be careful. The Giant King is a royal bloodline among ancient beasts. Its strength is much greater than other ancient beasts at the same level.” Xia Zehua warned anxiously.
“I know. Don’t come over here. I need to fight this beast.” Lin Fan kept his eyes on the Giant King and said to the others.
At this moment, Lin Fan realized that it wasn’t that ancient beasts were too strong, but rather he had encountered an elite monster—an upper-tier ancient beast.
It seemed he still had much to learn.
