Chapter 81: The One-eyed Giant and the Centaur



Chapter 81: The One-eyed Giant and the Centaur

In the blink of an eye, the semi-transparent True Extreme Membrane appeared over Han Li's body, and he quickly stabilized himself as faint silver light flashed over the surface of the thin film.

He was stunned by the incredible power imbued within the giant's punch, but given the formidable defensive prowess of his True Extreme Body, he was able to remain unharmed from the blow.

He immediately cast his gaze foward, upon which his pupils contracted ever so slightly.

Standing several thousand feet away from him as a yellow-skinned giant that was around 2,000 to 3,000 feet tall. Its entire body was riddled with strange spirit patterns, and its facial features were downright hideous, with a snub nose and a massive, unsightly mouth. What was most intriguing about it was that it only had a single enormous vertical eye, with murky light shimmering within its hazy gray pupil.

The giant had a disoriented appearance, but it was giving off a savage aura comparable to a True Immortal, much to Han Li's alarm and concern.

This had nothing to do with the giant's cultivation base. Instead, it was purely an instinctive feeling from Han Li.

The one-eyed giant faltered slightly, seemingly rather taken aback by the fact that Han Li had managed to remain completely unscathed from the clash, and immediately thereafter, it let loose a furious roar. A vast expanse of yellow light rose up from its body, and it stomped through the air as it charged directly toward Han Li.

Han Li quickly began to chant an incantation upon seeing this, and bright golden light erupted from his body as he transformed into a giant golden ape that was over 200 feet tall.

The constellation of seven blue stars appeared on the giant ape's chest and abdomen, giving off bright starlight that intertwined with the golden light radiating from the ape's body, causing it to swell even further in size.

It clenched one of its hands into a tight fist, and the muscles on its arms bulged as it threw a vicious punch at the oncoming one-eyed giant.

The space up ahead warped violently as a mountainous golden fist projection appeared. The fist projection was interspersed with traces of starlight, and the one-eyed giant let loose a thunderous roar as it continued to charge forward without slowing down in the slightest, raising a massive fist of its own to combat the golden fist projection.

An earth-shattering boom rang out, and this time, it was the giant that was sent flying back, tumbling down from the sky like an enormous asteroid before landing heavily on the island.

The entire island swayed violently, and a massive crater was smashed into the ground, sending dust and debris rising up into the sky.

In the next instant, the giant golden ape appeared directly above the crater, and its arms blurred as it unleashed countless golden fist projections that came raining down in a relentless barrage.

The one-eyed giant clambered rather unsteadily up from the ground, but it didn't appear to have sustained any injuries. However, it was clearly infuriated, and it let loose an enraged roar as it stomped a foot forcefully down onto the ground.

A series of strange yellow patterns instantly appeared over its body, giving off a burst of translucent yellow light that quickly spread onto the ground around it.

All of the soil on the ground in the wake of the translucent yellow light instantly shattered, transforming into countless grains of translucent yellow sand that rose up into the air before forming a series of bands around the giant's body. In the blink of an eye, a suit of translucent yellow sand armor had taken shape around the one-eyed giant.

A string of loud cracks and bangs rang out as the storm of golden fist projections rained down upon the giant before exploding into bursts of golden light.

However, the one-eyed giant remained completely still like an immovable mountain, and the yellow sand armor that its body was encased also wasn't sustaining any damage.

The giant golden ape faltered slightly upon seeing this, then hurriedly shot back in retreat.

The one-eyed giant cast a cold gaze up toward the golden ape in the sky, then stomped its foot down onto the ground again, and the yellow spirit patterns all over its body flashed as a series of yellow ripples proliferated outward, instantly encompassing an area around it in a radius of close to 10 kilometers.

While still in mid-air, the giant golden ape suddenly felt its own body become significantly heavier. The surrounding gravitational force had increased by severalfold, and it was as if it were being dragged down forcefully by a massive, invisible hand, causing it to plummet out of the sky.

It's using gravitational control! Han Li thought to himself with an alarmed expression.

Immediately thereafter, the giant golden ape slammed heavily down onto the ground, and its feet sank several dozen feet into the earth as countless shattered rock fragments flew in all directions around it.

In the next instant, the one-eyed giant charged onto the scene before lashing out with a giant yellow fist with devastating force, while the golden ape was rooted to the spot like a sitting duck.

The giant's fist swept up a gust of ferocious wind that left a massive white mark in the air.

The giant golden raised its arms and crossed them above its head, while a layer of golden scales instantly appeared over its arms.

A resounding boom rang out as a burst of tremendous force spread along the giant ape's arms and into its body, forcing it to sink even further into the ground.

The one-eyed giant swayed slightly before it lashed out with its other fist, and soon, both of its fists had transformed into a pair of blurs as one devastating blow after another came raining down in rapid succession.

The golden ape was able to ward off the attacks with its arms, but this situation was naturally far from ideal.

Even though it possessed exceptional physical resistance and didn't have to fear the one-eyed giant's attacks, it was unable to free itself anytime soon under the effects of the heightened gravity, and it was sinking further and further into the ground from the one-eyed giant's pummeling blows.

At this point, it had already sunk all the way down to its waist, and at this rate, it was going to be buried alive!

Right at this moment, spatial fluctuations suddenly erupted over 1,000 feet behind the one-eyed giant, and a centaur-like creature that was over 1,000 feet tall emerged out of thin air without any warning.

The creature's entire body was enveloped within a gust of fierce azure wind, and it was also entirely of a dark azure color. The bottom half of its body was identical to that of a horse, except it was completely devoid of fur and covered in a layer of thick azure scales instead.

Accompanying this horse-like lower body was a well-built human male upper body that was completely bared. What was even more remarkable was that the creature had three identical heads, one on its neck and two on its shoulders.

As soon as the creature appeared, one of its muscular arms was already raised up high, and it was holding a blue lightning spear in its hand. The spear was several hundred feet in length, and it was hurled viciously at the one-eyed giant's heart from behind.

Arcs of blue lightning were springing wildly over the surface of the spear like boiling water, and in the blink of an eye, the spear had already reached the one-eyed giant.

The giant's attention was focused entirely on its battle against Han Li, and by the time it sensed what was happening behind it, it was already too late to take evasive measures.

It let loose an explosive roar as the spirit patterns all over its body lit up with dazzling yellow radiance, and the surrounding earth in a radius of several kilometers instantly began to tremble violently. At the same time, the translucent yellow sand on the ground behind it abruptly rose up into the air, then intertwined to form a brown wall of sand that stood in the path of the oncoming lightning spear.

A dull thump rang out as the blue lightning spear pierced through the wall of sand with ease, then impaled itself into the one-eyed giant's body.

Immediately thereafter, a resounding boom rang out as countless arcs of lightning erupted from the blue spear amid a burst of dazzling radiance before exploding violently.

The one-eyed giant let loose an agonized roar as a massive hole was blown into its body just above its lower abdomen, and massive volumes of reddish-brown blood came gushing out of the wound.

The centaur-like creature flew back before descending onto the ground several thousand feet away, and an elated look appeared on all three of its faces, but its expression then immediately stiffened.

Contrary to its expectations, the blue lightning spear hadn't managed to pierce through the giant's heart. Instead, as aforementioned, it had pierced through its body just above its lower abdomen, so it had failed to deal a killing blow.

As it turned out, in the instant that the lightning spear pierced through the wall of sand, the one-eyed giant had already controlled the sand beneath its feet to elevate the ground by several dozen feet, thereby just barely avoiding a fatal blow.

Even so, the giant had still suffered severe injuries, and blood was trickling down from the corners of its mouth. At the same time, large, irregular chunks of translucent sand were falling off its body, giving it the appearance of an old and dilapidated wall that was falling apart under the elements.

As a result of this abrupt turn of events, the heightened gravity in the nearby area was abruptly eased, and the giant golden ape immediately sprang out of the ground before rushing to several thousand feet away after just a few flashes.

It then cast its gaze toward the centaur-like creature, upon which its pupils contracted slightly.

Judging from its aura and its ability to conceal itself, it was most likely the one that had sent Han Li flying into this yellow bubble.

Instead of rushing back into the fray, Han Li was carefully watching the pair of titanic monsters before him, waiting to see what they were going to do next.

Right at this moment, the centaur-like creature sprang forward as a gust of ferocious wind swept up all around it, and a new lightning spear had already taken shape in its grasp as it sprang toward the one-eyed giant, stabbing the spear toward the giant's heart with incredible speed and venom.

A murderous gleam surfaced in the giant's eye as it let loose a thunderous roar, and dazzling light erupted from its body.

All of the yellow sand that filled the surrounding area rose up into the air before rapidly converging, forming hundreds of sharp yellow spikes that pierced viciously toward the centaur-like creature.

A hint of surprise flashed through the three-headed centaur's eyes upon seeing this, and bright azure light erupted from its body as it raised its lightning spear horizontally in front of itself. Countless arcs of lightning sprang forth from the spear, instantly forming a net of lightning to shield it from the spikes up ahead.

The yellow spikes crashed into the blue net of lightning incessantly amid a string of resounding booms, and the resulting shockwaves from the clashes sent the centaur-like creature flying back by over 1,000 feet.

However, after manifesting those yellow spikes, the one-eyed giant couldn't help but throw up a mouthful of reddish-brown blood, and the fury in its eyes had become even more pronounced.

It cast a wary glance toward the giant yellow ape in the other direction, then retreated by over 1,000 feet, forming a roughly equilateral triangle with the golden ape and the centaur-like creature.

At the same time, a swirling vortex of yellow light slowly appeared on the wound on its lower abdomen, and the flesh around the wound gradually turned from red to black, then turned into stone.

As the vortex continued to revolve, more and more of the wound turned into stone, and the entire wound was quickly completely filled like the surface of a lake freezing over.

Golden light flashed from Han Li's body upon seeing this, and he quickly shrank down to revert back to his human form, then flipped a hand over to summon his High Zenith Invisibility Talisman.

As the talisman released a burst of purple light, Han Li's body gradually became more and more indistinct before finally vanishing on the spot.

The one-eyed giant faltered slightly upon seeing this.

The centaur-like creature was also rather taken aback by Han Li's sudden disappearance, but it then immediately turned its attention toward the one-eyed giant with a fierce look in its six eyes.
