Invincible Dad-Chapter 527 You are not Gu Yan!_1
Chapter 527: Chapter 527 You are not Gu Yan!_1
The giant’s head alone was a thousand zhang tall, resembling a massive mountain. Its eyes, like abysses, were soul-devouring.
"The Supreme Emperor, be careful!" Baize and Taotie shouted in unison, but it was too late.
The moment Xu Lai sensed danger and looked back, his body froze. His Divine Sense, which had been useless since they entered the Mass Burial Mound, was suddenly ripped from his body. It solidified in the air into an ethereal version of himself before falling directly into the giant’s eye socket.
"Qingfeng!" Yu Guiwan’s face went deathly pale, and her heart clenched.
If one’s body was shattered but their Divine Sense—their soul—remained, they could still possess another body or be reincarnated. However, if the soul itself was destroyed, it meant true death, with no possibility of return!
Taotie reacted fastest. He leaped into the air, only to be stopped by Baize. "Stop!"
Taotie’s eyes reddened. "Baize, why are you stopping me! Are you a creature from this place, plotting to harm The Supreme Emperor? Ever since I realized you could see farther than The Supreme Emperor could, I’ve felt something was off about you!"
"..."
Baize spoke coldly, "Shut up and stay on the ship. The Supreme Emperor ordered us to wait here, so I won’t let any of you leave by even half a step. This place is perilous and far beyond our ability to tread."
Her use of the plural ’you’ included not only Taotie but also Senior Sister Yu Guiwan, who was just as worried about Xu Lai.
"Then what about The Supreme Emperor’s safety?" Taotie roared. He drew his Quasi-Emperor’s Weapon, glaring at the woman before him with murderous intent. "Baize, give it to me straight! Are you a spy?"
Although Yu Guiwan was just as desperate to help, she kept her composure. "Divine General Taotie, calm down," she said in a low voice.
Taotie glared fiercely at Baize, his emotions in turmoil, looking as if he might attack at any moment.
"Brainless brute," Baize stated calmly. "Even an Emperor Realm’s Divine Sense can be captured here. Do you really think you, a mere Fifth Heaven Quasi-Emperor, would be spared?"
Taotie was taken aback. He gradually calmed down as he realized she was right. His face flushed red as he mumbled, "Divine General Baize, I apologize. I misjudged you."
"It doesn’t matter," Baize replied, unperturbed.
Taotie felt a pang of guilt.
Now that’s magnanimity! True magnanimity!
"Besides, this isn’t the first or second time you’ve acted without thinking," Baize added slowly.
"..."
Taotie’s fury surged once more!
Just as he was about to retort, he saw a change come over Xu Lai’s soulless body, which began to exude a faint golden light.
Though they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, Baize remained calm. "We wait. Let The Supreme Emperor awaken on his own. If he isn’t back in six hours, Taotie, you will take his Senior Sister and leave."
"And you?"
"I’ll go save The Supreme Emperor."
...
His Divine Sense had been extracted. Xu Lai’s consciousness was adrift. When he came to, he found himself in a very strange scene—lying in a field of rapeseed flowers, his right hand held by someone.
The one holding his hand, however, was not Ruan Tang. It was a giant with an enormous body and a very familiar face. It was the mysterious giant who had been kneeling beneath the Emperor Realm heart. And she was female!
Xu Lai let go of her hand. He tried to use his Divine Sense but found it useless. He walked to a lake at the edge of the rapeseed field and looked at his reflection.
He had turned into another male giant!
Xu Lai frowned.
I haven’t turned into him. My Divine Sense has taken over his body. This must be the giant’s lingering obsession. I’ve entered his memories.
He saw chains made of Chaotic Refined Gold around his ankles. They were clearly imprisoned in this field of rapeseed.
This was the Mass Burial Mound from tens of thousands of years ago, still without corpses or the heart that pulsated with an Emperor Realm’s pressure.
"Gu Yan, can we ever go home?" The female giant, clad in animal skins, strolled to Xu Lai’s side. Although she spoke in the strange language of her people, Xu Lai could understand her perfectly.
Xu Lai turned his head. Looking at this massive female giant, he wanted to speak but didn’t know what to say. Nor did he know why this male giant named Gu Yan had drawn his Divine Sense here.
By the aesthetic standards of the Immortal Domain, this female giant was very beautiful; her body was massive, but her proportions were perfect.
Hearing no response, the female giant looked at her husband with a puzzled expression.
Xu Lai paid no attention to her scrutiny, his eyes suddenly fixed on the ripples flowing in the lake. There was a gate in the lake forged of bronze, from which emanated an indescribable Dao Endowment.
As he moved to step into the lake for a closer look at the gate, the woman behind him suddenly froze.
Then she shrieked, "You are not Gu Yan! Who are you!"
"I..."
Just as Xu Lai opened his mouth, before he could utter a second word, the world before him began to crumble.
Who knows how many years passed.
When his vision cleared, Xu Lai was still inside the male giant’s body. But he and the nameless female giant were under siege, the world around them filled with slaughter. Countless cultivators from the Immortal Domain were attacking them, forming seals and wielding weapons, their ankles still shackled by Divine Metal.
To be more precise, it was Gu Yan and the female giant defending the Bronze Giant Gate. The lake had dried up, giving Xu Lai a clearer view. The runes on the Bronze Giant Gate were similar to the strange characters on the giants’ skin.
At that moment, an icy voice cried out, "Kill them!" It came from a white-haired old man.
Xu Lai didn’t know who he was, but he could sense the terrifying Emperor Realm pressure radiating from him. But he wasn’t the only Emperor Realm expert; there were six in total. The other five stared on with cold expressions. Behind the six Emperor Realm experts stood an army of millions of cultivators.
The ensuing battle shattered the heavens and rent the earth.
Every cultivator who took part died a miserable death, as did the six Emperor Realm beings.
Xu Lai gasped for air. His Divine Sense was merged with the giant’s body, forcing him to participate in the battle. He could feel the despair and heroic sorrow in the heart of the male giant he inhabited. What astonished Xu Lai was that the two giants seemed to know no Divine Skills or Cultivation Techniques. They crushed all the cultivators with terrifying brute strength alone.
GURGLE... GURGLE...
Blood filled the massive lake, submerging the Bronze Gate. Only a few bubbles broke the surface.
The two giants lay on a sea of corpses that looked as insignificant as ants. The female giant, who had been silent since the battle began, finally spoke for the second time.
"Can we ever go home?" The female giant’s voice was filled with boundless despair.
"..."
Xu Lai remained silent, his gaze fixed on the chains of Chaotic Refined Gold still binding their ankles, radiating the power of cosmic laws.
Time passed once again. Xu Lai only knew that a long, long time had passed. During this period, many people came, but all died at the hands of the two giants.
In the end, Xu Lai grew dazed. He nearly forgot who he was, knowing only the endless, ceaseless slaughter over countless years. This place had transformed from a field of rapeseed into a Mass Burial Mound.
The last person to enter the core area of the Mass Burial Mound was a young man who trod upon the Netherworld.
The man spoke only a single sentence: "I’ve come for the key."
But these words made the dazed Xu Lai snap to his senses. He remembered who he was, and he recognized the man before him.
That was the Great Emperor Youming from thirty-six epochs ago
