The Pool of All Beings, so special and unique, must have a profound reason for its existence. Its purpose in the world is likely intertwined with the reproductive activities of the various beast species that can produce offspring. Now, with the Six-armed Giant causing such destruction, disturbing the peace within dozens of kilometers and preventing the beasts from breeding, the Pool of All Beings will surely react.
Qian Ye’s figure moved like lightning, continuously dodging the beasts hurled by the Six-armed Giant, and inadvertently moving closer to the edge of the pool. The closer he got to the water, the stronger the call that stirred his desires. However, this level of calling was still manageable for Qian Ye, far from requiring the use of secret arts.
The Six-armed Giant, always arrogant and domineering, naturally followed. Any beast that was in the way or that it simply disliked was casually eliminated. Finally, one of the thrown beasts missed its mark slightly, flying past Qian Ye’s head and falling into the water.
Suddenly, the calm water surged, and a massive creature leaped out, swallowing the fallen beast in one bite. Its leap was so powerful that almost its entire body emerged from the water before it crashed back down, creating a mountainous wave.
This aquatic beast was covered in thick, sharp scales, with each scale as sharp as a blade. Its mouth was filled with terrifying teeth, as if designed to strike fear into the hearts of those who saw it.
As soon as the aquatic beast appeared, it swam toward the shore, its target clearly the Six-armed Giant.
For the first time, the Six-armed Giant stopped, staring at the aquatic beast, roaring to show its dominance. But the aquatic beast was not afraid. It shot to the shore like an arrow, then suddenly accelerated, launching itself at the Six-armed Giant, knocking it to the ground!
Only now did the aquatic beast reveal its full form. It was over ten meters long, with six thick, pillar-like legs supporting its massive body. Its tail was topped with thick bone plates, resembling a spiked mace. In terms of size, it was no less than the Six-armed Giant, and perhaps even larger. Yet, despite its enormous bulk, it moved as swiftly as lightning, its speed rivaling that of the Shadow Leopard, a beast known for its speed. Qian Ye could hardly believe his eyes. Such speed was truly terrifying.
The force of the aquatic beast’s lunge was too much for even the Six-armed Giant to withstand, and it was instantly knocked down. The aquatic beast did not hesitate, biting down. Its massive jaws were wide enough to swallow the small house Qian Ye had built in the neutral territory whole.
The Six-armed Giant, with extensive combat experience, fully utilized its multiple arms. Although surprised, it did not panic. First, it used four hands to hold the giant mouth open, preventing it from closing, and then it positioned the thick iron rod with its other two hands, jamming it between the upper and lower jaws of the aquatic beast.
With the aquatic beast’s mouth controlled, the Six-armed Giant easily broke free. It pushed the beast off, then grabbed its leg and lifted it up, roaring as it slammed it to the ground.
The beasts in the Great Vortex all had thick, tough hides. Despite the heavy impact, the aquatic beast only appeared dazed and not seriously injured. However, the Six-armed Giant’s handling of the situation made Qian Ye feel uneasy.
Although the aquatic beast looked fierce, in a real fight, it was no match for the Six-armed Giant.
But the situation changed again. The aquatic beast, incited by its ferocity, roared and bit down with all its might, causing the iron rod, which was thicker than Qian Ye’s waist, to bend! As the rod bent more, it finally snapped with a loud crack, breaking into two pieces!
Despite Qian Ye’s extensive knowledge, he was left speechless. The aquatic beast’s mouth was almost godlike. A single bite could sever even an Imperial heavy armored warship. The press forging machine he had seen in the Zhao Manor’s workshop seemed trivial in comparison.
The aquatic beast lunged at the Six-armed Giant again, and the Giant quickly dodged, avoiding the bite. This evasion was not particularly graceful, but with its height and long legs, it took a big step, putting itself dozens of meters away, leaving the aquatic beast with nothing to bite. But the aquatic beast swayed its body, and its tail swept across the ground, striking the Six-armed Giant’s leg with brutal force!
The impact was like a battering ram hitting a wall, causing the ground to tremble and dust to rise, making Qian Ye’s heart skip a beat. The Giant’s leg bone visibly dented, but surprisingly, it did not break. The bone plates on the aquatic beast’s tail also showed some deformation.
The two beasts immediately engaged in a fierce battle, shaking the earth and splitting the sky.
Qian Ye, however, did not seek to escape. Instead, he took advantage of the chaos to get closer to the battlefield. He saw that although the aquatic beast was fierce, it would eventually be no match for the Six-armed Giant. The tracking ability of the Six-armed Giant was a significant headache for Qian Ye. If he couldn’t find a way to eliminate it, he would have no chance of returning to the Imperial fortress.
Now, with the Six-armed Giant finally encountering a formidable opponent, there was no better time to strike.
However, in the Pool of All Beings, where beasts gathered, Qian Ye dared not use Zang Xin. Using a primordial force gun in the Great Vortex would cause too much disturbance. Even if it didn’t attract all the beasts, it would certainly draw the attention of many. With so many bizarre and powerful beasts, it was possible that some, like the Six-armed Giant, could track him.
At this moment, the Six-armed Giant and the aquatic beast were locked in a fierce struggle, and countless opportunities presented themselves. Qian Ye drew his blood-drinking blade and, under the cover of dust, approached them.
Just then, the two giants tumbled through the air, crashing down heavily in front of Qian Ye. The impact created a large crater, and waves of sand and rocks rushed toward him.
Qian Ye did not dodge; relying on his strong body, he charged into the wave, creating a large hole and coming face-to-face with a wall of flesh.
It was one of the Six-armed Giant’s arms, over two meters in diameter, taller than Qian Ye himself. Its skin, with a faint greenish sheen, was covered in steel-like hairs, and the skin itself was as rough as the bark of a withered tree.
Without hesitation, Qian Ye thrust his blood-drinking blade into the joint of the Six-armed Giant’s elbow. His strike was ruthless, using the blade to draw vital energy from the surrounding area. For a being as massive as the Six-armed Giant, this would affect the tissues around the wound, making it difficult to heal, and at the very least, weakening the arm.
The blade struck, feeling like it hit a defeated hide.
The blood-drinking blade cut through the giant’s skin but only penetrated halfway. The sensation from the handle indicated that the blade had not pierced through the opponent’s skin.
Qian Ye cursed inwardly and increased his force, using all his strength. The blood-drinking blade finally pierced through the thick skin and into the flesh, its tip lodging in the bone. Qian Ye was delighted; this was exactly what he wanted. If the bone was injured, it would be much harder to recover.
Qian Ye activated several power nodes in his body, and the force flowed in layers, launching the Mountain-Cleaving Technique. With a roar, the blade forced its way into the Giant’s elbow bone.
A snapping sound was heard, and the blood-drinking blade, unable to withstand the force, broke in half!
Qian Ye was stunned. The blood-drinking blade had been with him for a long time, light and easy to use, and it was a seventh-tier primordial force weapon. To think that a seventh-tier weapon could not penetrate the Six-armed Giant’s bones. Did this mean that the Giant’s entire skeletal structure was composed of eighth-tier treasures?
Such a massive body was like a mobile treasure trove. Unfortunately, no matter how valuable the trove, one had to survive to claim it.
Qian Ye discarded the broken blade and leaped back, placing himself a hundred meters away, just in time to avoid the Giant’s sweeping punch. The punch was still far from him, but the gust of wind made it hard to breathe.
Fortunately, the blow from Qian Ye’s blade only caused a slight sting to the Six-armed Giant, like an ant bite. It was focused on the aquatic beast and casually swiped, not caring if it hit or not.
Qian Ye hid nearby, waiting for another opportunity. When the Six-armed Giant was again swept off its feet by the aquatic beast’s tail, its entire back was exposed to Qian Ye.
Without hesitation, Qian Ye darted forward, pressing his body against the Giant’s back. Then, lines of blood erupted from his body, and in an instant, he unleashed the Vitality Theft!
With Qian Ye’s promotion to Marquis among the Bloodline, his control over Vitality Theft had greatly improved. Most of the blood lines targeted the Six-armed Giant, piercing into its body. However, the blood lines, usually infallible, now struggled to penetrate. Once inside, they seemed to be trapped in a quagmire, advancing with great difficulty. The Six-armed Giant’s body seemed to have a strange force field, making it highly resistant to the blood line attacks.
In the end, the blood lines retracted, only about half of them bringing a drop of blood.
Still, it was a gain. Qian Ye withdrew the blood lines and disappeared with a flash of void. At that moment, the Giant flipped over, collapsing like a mountain, its back landing on the ground. If Qian Ye had been slower, he would have been crushed underneath.
Qian Ye’s figure reappeared in the distance. As soon as he landed, a flush of red spread across his face, and he staggered like a drunk, struggling to stand. The vital energy in his body was not just overflowing but nearly bursting. The energy in just a few drops of the Six-armed Giant’s blood was greater than that of an entire Four-Primal Warrior. Qian Ye had essentially absorbed the vital energy of nearly a hundred Four-Primal Warriors, far beyond his capacity.
He groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood, followed by blood trickling from his nostrils and eyes, and his skin seeping blood in various places.
Ignoring his condition, Qian Ye looked at the Six-armed Giant. The massive creature was still fiercely battling the aquatic beast, now clearly gaining the upper hand. It felt only a slight itch on its back and casually scratched it.
This experience gave Qian Ye a new understanding of the Six-armed Giant’s terrifying vitality. It would take being inflated and burst dozens or even hundreds of times to drain the Six-armed Giant’s life force.
With no other options, Qian Ye finally resorted to his last means: the Eastern Peak. Seizing the opportunity, he used the Eastern Peak with the Mountain-Cleaving Technique, managing to inflict a wound on the Giant’s calf.
Looking at the wound, over a meter long and half a meter deep, Qian Ye was not pleased. Most of the wound was in the thick, greenish skin, with only a small part reaching the flesh. Compared to the Giant’s massive body, it was barely a scratch.
The Eastern Peak was heavy and sturdy but not particularly sharp. Used on the Six-armed Giant, it felt ineffective.
Only the Primordial Gun remained. But the Primordial Gun directly attacked the target’s life force. Looking at the immense body of the Six-armed Giant, even with Qian Ye’s unyielding will, a sense of despair washed over him. How many shots would it take to bring down such a behemoth?
