Chapter 2435 Not Many Words Exchanged
Ever since she stepped into this chaotic world, the Immortal Peach Fairy had been vigilantly watching over the core.
At this moment, all the liquid metal in the chaotic world returned, and the core opened... but it was empty.
"So much energy gathered in the core can't just disappear like that." Immortal Peach Fairy thought while looking up at the sky. These days, no one followed the usual path. The target might not burst out from the cracked core but instead seeped out from the core's shell.
Her hunch was right!
The empty core was merely a diversion. The real target had already appeared in the sky above the scorched black land while towering over them and peering down.
These unconventional targets were always a nuisance.
"Darn it, the Divine Tree Beast is up there!" the Immortal Peach Fairy extended her hand to conjure a massive wooden bow and several arrows. These arrows had probably been stored for too long, and they had sprouted fresh leaves and twigs.
With practiced skill, Immortal Peach Fairy nocked three arrows and shot them into the sky.
The Great Western Emperor raised his head slightly and flicked his fingers in his sleeves. At the beginning of this encounter, he had already launched two sunrises into the sky, and now they came in handy.
The two suns shone brightly and struck their target faster than the Immortal Peach Fairy's arrows.
Boom!
The two rising suns exploded one after another to reveal the true form of the target that Slow-Witted Song had brought them here to confront. It was a colossal humanoid figure made of liquid metal.
It was enormous!
The scorched earth where Slow-Witted Song and the others stood covered about half the size of China. Yet, the size of the super-large liquid metal figure in the sky exceeded even that of the scorched land.
With such size, just plummeting from the sky could trigger world-shattering devastation.
The Great Western Emperor's two rising suns were blocked by the giant's hand. The liquid metal giant's enormous palm was shattered, and the eternal fire of the rising sun clung to the broken palm, hindering the liquid metal giant's recovery.
Considering the nature of the giant's liquid metal composition, these injuries would heal almost instantly unless the Sunrise Fire waned. Thus, the Great Western Emperor cast another spell to infuse the power of Flame Maxim from the void into the Sunrise Fire and amplify its potency.
Following that, Immortal Peach Fairy's three sharp arrows penetrated the giant's body.
The budding arrows pierced through the liquid metal giant's defenses. Compared to the giant's colossal size, these three arrows seemed insignificant.
However, once the arrows embedded themselves in the giant's body, new shoots sprouted and took root. Countless thick vines emerged from the giant's wounds to entwine and restrain the liquid metal giant.
"Such a massive body... It must be quite a spectacle to battle," mused The Great Western Emperor with a hearty smile.
At their level of power, tremendous size was not an advantage—unless it reached a truly awe-inspiring scale!
But unless it reached the realm of awe, the large size was nothing more than an evil punching bag.
"Let's go. Don't underestimate them. Even if it's still in an imperfect state, it's a creation of the Heavenly Dao. You and I both know how challenging it is to deal with a Heavenly Dao creation," Slow-Witted Song cautioned.
"Indeed," replied the Great Northern Emperor coldly. He extended his hand and conjured a frigid mist that enveloped the liquid metal giant to freeze key parts of its body.
The chains in the Great Western Emperor's hands swayed gently as they pierced into the fabric of space and vanished. Who knew what cunning plan he was devising in the shadows?
In the sky, the liquid metal giant remained eerily quiet. Its eyes rolled as it fixed its gaze on Slow-Witted Song. Then, its remaining intact arm suddenly struck toward Slow-Witted Song.
This liquid metal giant not only followed an unconventional path but also knew how to seize the enemy leader and pummel them when surrounded.
The assaults from the Great Western Emperor, the Great Northern Emperor, and the Immortal Peach Fairy were all directly absorbed by its body. Then, its giant hand was aimed at Slow-Witted Song.
It was exchanging injuries for injuries a seeming challenge for them to see who would be vanquished first, whether they'd finish him or he'd defeat the golden figure.
Undoubtedly, this liquid metal giant was even more merciless than the wicked!
He was a werewolf among the wicked.
Slow-Witted Song was speechless.
He extended his hand, and the faint silhouette of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Combined Magical Treasure materialized in the air. It transformed into a shield in front of him to intercept the liquid metal giant's fist.
"Don't worry about me," Slow-Witted Song said solemnly. "Attack with all your might."
"Don't fret, Fellow Daoist. I have great confidence in Your Majesty's resilience. You're a man who can endure all the pain in the world. Even when the Ancestral Golden Dragon made you shed tears, you didn't cry out in pain," the corners of the Great Western Emperor's mouth curled into a wry smile.
After the previous two Sunrise attacks, he had begun to accumulate power. Simultaneously, a mirror-shaped magical tool appeared before him, its surface pitch-black like a bottomless void.
Slow-Witted Song was speechless.
As he spoke, the liquid metal giant's fists repeatedly pounded and shattered the illusion of the Combined Magical Treasure in front of Slow-Witted Song.
Then, the liquid metal fist transformed into a palm, and a peculiar sealing rune flickered in its center as it descended upon Slow-Witted Song.
This sealing rune specifically targeted Slow-Witted Song's Heavenly Emperor's Path.
Slow-Witted Song's figure stiffened slightly.
Then, his body was pressed under the colossal palm.
"No wonder you wanted to grab me and pummel me. As expected, your target is still the Heavenly Emperor's Path within me," Slow-Witted Song chuckled.
In a burst of white light, a gigantic skeleton formed with Slow-Witted Song at its core.
The first wave of iron-like skulls emerged while encasing Slow-Witted Song within.
Next came the ribs, arms, and bony legs...
This was Immortal Fairy White Bones' trump card, Slow-Witted Song's Bone Giant.
When White Dragon and Pavilion Master Chu had seen this secret technique, they deduced that Slow-Witted Song had played a role in its creation.
Indeed, Slow-Witted Song had mastered this secret technique.
The white bone giant manifested and effortlessly pushed open the liquid metal giant's palms.
"Armored! Beast God Skeleton!" Slow-Witted Song continued to command.
The illusion of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Combined Magical Treasure swiftly descended upon the skeletal giant and transformed it into an even larger Beast God skeleton.
"Come on, round two!" Slow-Witted Song held the projected Squid Tyrant Dual Blades in his hands and pointed them at the liquid metal giant.
...
...
At the same time, in the Eighth Stage Profound Sage Tribulation Space, Song Shuhang was currently employing the sealing technique under Pavilion Master Chu's guidance in an attempt to seal the severed tribulation clouds.
However, ordinary sealing techniques had little effect on the tribulation clouds, and Song Shuhang continued to fail.
Suddenly, while in the midst of casting the sealing technique, Song Shuhang experienced a slight pause.
"An inspiration?" Pavilion Master Chu inquired.
"No, that's not it." Song Shuhang shook his head. He raised his hand and employed a secret technique.
Pavilion Master Chu was shocked.
