Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

As a strange transformation befell the Giant Spirit Race, deep within the Endless Wilderness, nine beams of divine light also erupted from the ground, soaring into the sky like nine pillars connecting heaven and earth.

Instantly, across a million li, the earth roiled and countless beasts cried out in unison, stampeding outward in a heaven-shaking display!

RUMBLE!

As the view zoomed in, a colossus could be seen erupting from the ground between the nine beams of divine light. It shimmered with brilliant radiance, soaring ten thousand zhang into the air and piercing Yunn Xiao.

This colossus was an Ancient Bronze Gate, a hundred zhang tall. It stood like a pillar supporting the heavens, resembling the gate of a celestial palace from Ancient Times—magnificent, vast, mysterious, and unknown!

As this strange phenomenon occurred, gazes from distant lands came to investigate. But after a single glance, they quickly withdrew.

"The Earth Palace has appeared ahead of schedule!"

In the Ancient Spirit Sect, the Star Elder walked out of his bamboo house, his eyes as deep as the cosmos piercing the void to gaze into the depths of the Endless Wilderness.

"The Barbarian God Battle Platform is about to begin!"

"And now the Earth Palace has opened ten years early. It seems the heavens of the Grand Emperor Domain are about to change!"

The Star Elder muttered to himself, his star-like eyes gazing into the depths of the Firmament, and a powerful ripple emanated from them.

At the same time, atop Fengtian Peak, a majestic figure stood silently. After glancing in the Star Elder’s direction, he shouted in a resonant voice, "Disciples of the Ancient Spirit Sect, hear my command! The Earth Palace has manifested. All disciples at the True Essence Realm and above are to head to the Earth Palace immediately!"

His voice, like a great bell, reverberated over the entire Ancient Spirit Sect, causing everyone to look up at the sky.

’It’s the Sect Master’s voice!’

Many grew excited, especially upon hearing the words "Earth Palace." Even disciples in seclusion were jolted from their cultivation and burst out of their dwellings with a BOOM.

...

Demon Abyss

The Demon Abyss Master and a cold-faced young man stood high above a blood-colored palace, both gazing into the depths of the Endless Wilderness, their expressions alight with excitement.

The Demon Abyss Master said, "The Barbarian God Battle Platform hasn’t even begun, and the Earth Palace has already appeared. This is no coincidence. Wudao, you must seize this opportunity!"

Wudao’s cold eyes gleamed, brimming with fierce confidence. "The Earth Palace appears, the slaughter begins. This is the omen of my ascension to become the Strongest Warrior of the Barbarian God Battle Platform!"

Hearing this, the Demon Abyss Master nodded and said, "There is no time to lose. Take the disciples of Demon Abyss to the Earth Palace immediately and fight for your fortuitous encounters!"

At these words, Wudao’s figure vanished.

’It’s time for Demon Abyss to rise!’

The Demon Abyss Master gazed at the distant sky, a sea of blood churning in his eyes, his expression a mix of excitement and fanaticism!

At the same time, powers such as Yunhuang City, Yunlan Ancient Teachings, and the Feather Race also dispatched their disciples, all heading for the depths of the Endless Wilderness.

...

Meanwhile, in the territory of the Giant Spirit Race.

Ye Wushuang was suspended in the void. He turned and saw that on the altar, the strange phenomenon originating from the Barbarian God Statue had vanished.

The members of the Giant Spirit Race, who had been prostrating on the ground, now lifted their heads and turned their gazes toward him.

At the sight, Ye Wushuang’s heart instantly went ice-cold.

’Faced with these giants, I have no power to resist. All that awaits me is death.’

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, a three-zhang-tall giant, seemingly unable to restrain himself any longer, stood up.

This giant was somewhat shorter than the others, clad in a brown animal hide and radiating a barbaric aura.

His eyes locked onto Ye Wushuang and, without a word, he sent a massive fist smashing toward him.

The Fist Seal descended like a small hill, its pure power causing the void to tremble and shatter. It whipped up gales of spatial turbulence that swept down from the sky to engulf Ye Wushuang.

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed as he tightened his grip on the Dragon Blood Battle Saber.

"Fight!"

He spat out the single, cold word and charged forward.

He knew how this day would end. Facing the entire Giant Spirit Race, his chances of survival were nil. But he was not one to sit back and wait for death. Even if he had to die, he wouldn’t let himself be slaughtered passively!

RUMBLE!

Ye Wushuang’s eyes flashed as he unleashed all his power. Terrifying True Essence surged into the Dragon Blood Battle Saber, forming a world-shocking strike that tore through the spatial turbulence and slashed toward the massive fist.

The crimson saber light slammed violently against the fist, producing a thunderous explosion!

The aftershock of the explosion sent Ye Wushuang flying. At the same time, the giant also stumbled back more than ten steps, each footfall leaving a deep crater in the ground.

Seeing this, the expressions of the other Giant Spirit Race members turned peculiar.

They said nothing, and simply continued to watch.

The giant in the brown hide steadied himself and stared at Ye Wushuang in utter disbelief. He clearly hadn’t expected this little human, small enough to be held in one hand, to actually be able to withstand his attack.

RUMBLE!

His gaze hardened as he took another great stride forward. Aiming for Ye Wushuang, he hammered both fists down from the sky, casting a vast shadow that blotted out the sun.

Ye Wushuang was deeply shaken. ’The physique of these giants is simply terrifying! They don’t cultivate True Essence; their raw physical bodies are their greatest power and weapon!’

’I wonder how my Pseudo-Treasure Body stacks up against theirs?’

In this moment of crisis, an idea flashed in Ye Wushuang’s mind. He immediately unleashed his Pseudo-Treasure Body. Golden Dragon Scales covered him, forming a suit of Golden Armor that was wondrous and extraordinary.

Barbaric Tyrant Dragon Fist!

Ye Wushuang moved like a bolt of light, weaving around the two descending fists and shooting toward the giant’s head. A fist wreathed in the Shadow of a Tyrant Dragon smashed forward.

ROAR!

The Tyrant Dragon roared, its immense Dragon Power surging as its ferocious draconic head slammed toward the giant’s skull.

The giant reacted, retracting its fists and savagely seizing the Shadow of a Tyrant Dragon. It nearly crushed the shadow to pieces, stunning Ye Wushuang!

However, this gave Ye Wushuang an opening.

He leaped, using the giant’s arm as a ramp to run toward its head, and viciously smashed his fist down.

Before the giant could defend, Ye Wushuang’s fist had already smashed into its nose. Instantly, a geyser of fresh blood sprayed out, showering down like crimson rain!

RUMBLE!

The giant immediately toppled backward, its body slamming into the ground and making the earth tremble.

RUMBLE!

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Wushuang followed up, raining down punch after punch. As powerful as the giant’s physique was, it couldn’t withstand Ye Wushuang’s even more barbaric assault!

"I give up! I give up!"

The giant cried out in pain, staggered to its feet, and retreated behind the others.

At that, the peculiar expressions on the faces of the other Giant Spirit Race members finally gave way to shock.

The Giant Spirit Race was born with Divine Power and formidable physiques. In close-quarters combat, no one had ever been able to defeat them. Yet this young man at the True Essence First Layer had somehow broken that rule using only his physical body!

Ye Wushuang stood tall in the void, blazing like a golden sun. Brilliant gold light radiated from him, wreathed by an illusory Dragon Shadow. He looked like a supreme Dragon God, coldly gazing down upon the crowd.

After a moment, seeing that no one else was making a move, the warrior at the Yin Yang Realm stepped forward.

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang’s expression sank.

To his utter astonishment, however, the giant showed no hostility. He even placed one hand across his chest and bowed to Ye Wushuang!

Not only that, but all the other members of the Giant Spirit Race bowed to him as well, their faces filled with respect and excitement, as if they were beholding the Barbarian God himself.

"Lord Priest, my people have waited for you at long last!"

These sudden, baffling words left Ye Wushuang frozen in the void.
