Chapter 1677: Complete Annihilation

"A gift?"

The Crimson Princess felt an inexplicable panic. "What do you want to do?" she demanded urgently. The last time Jiang Fan mentioned a "surprise," it was to make her fight her own kin. Now, hearing about a "gift" sent shivers down her spine.

Jiang Fan took out the Realm Mirror that had once imprisoned her. "I'll make sure you witness everything!" he declared. He leaped forward, holding the mirror, and firmly brought it down towards her forehead.

The Crimson Princess did not dodge. With a White Tiger of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man before her, resistance was futile. Yet, a princess had her dignity.

"Wait! I'll do it myself!" the Crimson Princess said softly, extending her hand.

Jiang Fan chuckled. "It's always easier talking to smart people." He casually tossed the Realm Mirror to her.

She gazed at the familiar mirror that had held her captive for so long, and a wave of dread washed over her. After finally escaping his clutches, she was once again his captive. Was this truly her fate? She lightly touched her forehead, and her eight-zhang-tall body flowed like smoke, slowly being drawn into the Realm Mirror.

Back inside the mirror, she skillfully sat cross-legged, staring intently at Jiang Fan. "This time, I'll watch with my own eyes as you and your Central Land are destroyed."

Jiang Fan calmly replied, "You will be disappointed." With that, he tucked the mirror into his embrace.

The Crimson Princess had, in fact, lost her value to him. The only reason he spared her life was a profound reminder from the Grand Wine Sacrificer: he should treat the Crimson Princess well. Was the daughter of a Giant Emperor truly worth Jiang Fan's kindness? He decided he would figure out the reason later, before determining her fate.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over Jiang Fan. He looked up to see an enormous, blood-spattered head plummeting towards him from the sky. Jiang Fan reached up and caught it. The massive head collided with his palm, emitting a dull thud. As the head came to a halt, Jiang Fan finally recognized the face. It was the head of the Blood Moon King! Its single vertical eye was wide open, fear and unwillingness still lingering within it.

Jiang Fan looked in the direction the head had come from. Liu Bianhuang was staring coldly at him. "When we return to the hunting grounds, I'll make you pay!" he sneered. Helping Jiang Fan's Central Land fight their enemies had left Liu Bianhuang utterly frustrated. Fortunately, the great battle was drawing to a close.

Two fierce screams resounded simultaneously. Behind Gongzi Xiang, two massive Five-Star Giant Kings crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust. He slowly sheathed his sword, remarking blandly, "Five-Star Giant Kings are nothing special. The rest are for you all. They are not worthy of a second sword from me."

Roar! Another scream echoed, and the last Five-Star Giant King fell with a thud. Yun Wanxiao shook the blood from his feathers, a look of relief on his face. Although helping Central Land fight felt like eating dirt, the crisis they faced was minor and would soon be over.

The four Five-Star Giant Kings being successively slain by the Venerables from the Primordial Hunt left the Venerables of Central Land feeling somewhat embarrassed. They had fought so hard for so long without defeating a single Five-Star Giant King. Yet, the three individuals before them had dispatched them all in quick succession. By comparison, they looked as if they had been slacking off.

Venerable Ice Heart reached back and touched the divine halo behind her head, mumbling, "Did I perhaps break through to a fake Venerable realm? We're all Venerables, but how can the difference be so vast?"

The Lord of Jiangshan Yipin Building cleared his throat. "Don't count me in. I'm under the Giant Emperor's curse, so it's normal for me not to defeat a Five-Star Giant King. I'm different from you all."

Venerable Ten Thousand Weapons coughed. "I've forged too much iron; I'm riddled with ailments, so it's normal for me not to win either."

Venerable Golden Scale awkwardly added, "Since you're all ill, I might as well be ill too. I think my 'daughter-sickness' has flared up."

The beautiful face of the Star Mountain Master flushed slightly. "Oh, what a coincidence, I'm also ill. My period just started."

Hongxiu was speechless. She glanced at Gongzi Xiang, Yun Wanxiao, and Liu Bianhuang, then said, "It's normal not to be as good as them. Some of them are already Sage avatars, and the other two have long been qualified to break through to the Sage realm, only suppressing their cultivation for the sake of the Primordial Hunt. Among your Central Land's Venerables, perhaps only the Young Emperor can contend with these three."

Hearing this, everyone's embarrassment immediately eased. Venerable Ice Heart covered her flushed, warm face and let out a sigh of relief. "So they're on the same level as the Young Emperor? Then it's not embarrassing at all! But how can so many powerful individuals be Jiang Fan's friends and willingly come to Central Land to help?" She furrowed her delicate nose, studying Jiang Fan, a hint of jealousy in her eyes. "Does that guy really have such charisma?"

Hongxiu smiled faintly, knowing only this simple young Venerable would believe that. These individuals were all top elites from various realms, possessing peak abilities and cunning. How could they be easily fooled into coming to Central Land? Most likely, Jiang Fan had used some powerful means to forcibly drag them here. She didn't bother to expose him, instead saying, "Let's quickly deal with the remaining Giant Kings."

The other Venerables snapped to attention. Their arrival had turned the battle at the God Transformation realm into a complete slaughter.

After just a moment, there was not a single Giant King standing near the Sky-Reaching Black Pillar.

At this point, the armies of the Black Sun Royal Court, the Blood Moon Royal Court, and King Youming's Ninth Central Army, along with the Eighth, Seventh, and Sixth Central Armies, had all been annihilated. In contrast, the human side had lost only a dozen or so cultivators in the God Transformation realm. Most of these were cultivators in the First Decay of Heaven and Man, who had been at a significant disadvantage at the start of the battle. Only a few cultivators in the Second, Third, and Fourth Decays had fallen. Such casualties were even fewer than those suffered by a single major province in the Myriad Origin Continent. This battle could truly be called a historic victory, where the few overcame the many!

As the battle among God Transformation cultivators concluded, the conflict between the Sages and the Giant Emperor also came to an end. Both sides tacitly ceased hostilities and retreated to their respective sides.

The Six-Sun Giant Emperor's immense body fell heavily. Seeing the corpses of the four Five-Star Giant Kings, his eyes showed urgency as he quickly scanned his surroundings.

"No need to look, she's with me," Jiang Fan said, stepping back a few paces to shield the Grand Wine Sacrificer. Then he took out the Realm Mirror, which indeed contained the imprisoned Crimson Princess.

The Six-Sun Giant Emperor's gaze sharpened. "It's you again!!!" Soon, he noticed the foreign powerhouses, and his gaze shifted from sharp to grim. "Did you bring them back to Central Land?" He had anticipated being able to hold out until reinforcements arrived. But Jiang Fan's arrival had quickly ended the war. How much destruction had this small human brought to their Southern Heaven Realm? Not even a Great Sage could cause as much harm as him!

"Ancient dark creatures are to be exterminated by all," Jiang Fan declared. "These like-minded friends of mine came to punish you. If you're not convinced, take it up with them!"

Gaze after gaze, filled with murderous intent, shot forth from the powerhouses of the various realms. This bastard! Not only did he exploit them, but he also threw them out as shields? Even slaves wouldn't be used like this!
