Chapter 285: Chapter 266 Five Elements Great Emperor 1
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s eyes bulged, he incredulously exclaimed in disbelief, “Is that the corpse of a giant? This big?”
A towering mountain thousands of miles high stood in front of them. By extending his Immortal Sense, one could realize that this was not a mountain at all.
It was clearly the corpse of a giant that stretched for tens of thousands of miles!
And the corpse was headless.
Such a massive body lying on the ground, reaching thousands of miles in height, at first glance, one might mistake it for a large mountain.
“Could it be that we are being suppressed by a spatial formation, shrinking in size?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan suggested.
Jiang Zhipan shook his head, “This is a Demon God, who must have cultivated the Heaven Demon Jue. Such a cultivation technique, when reaching the Heaven God State, allows one’s body to grow to tens of thousands of miles in size.”
“It’s not about enlarging the body through cultivation; this is their normal size. They usually use techniques to reduce their size to that of ordinary people, known as the Heaven Demon Body.”
“He must be dead. After death, the body naturally reverts to its normal state, as we see it now.”
Should?
Li Cheng and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan both looked at Jiang Zhipan at the same time. This ‘should’ sounded a bit frightening.
Their eyes both conveyed the same message—be more certain, don’t use ‘should’.
Jiang Zhipan pointed to the tripod in front of Li Cheng, “What is suppressed within this Divine Artifact? The reaction was so fierce just now; could it be that it’s suppressing the head of this Demon God?”
Li Cheng shook his head, looking at the now calm tripod, he said, “I haven’t checked it.”
A twitch crossed the corner of Jiang Zhipan’s mouth, “So you see, I said this Demon God ‘should’ be dead, but it’s not certain because his head is missing. If the head is still alive and returns, he could naturally be resurrected.”
Li Cheng raised an eyebrow, “The vitality of a deity, is it that strong?”
“Of course, at the God Realm, it’s almost very hard to be killed. The Divine Child, Divine Soul… By the way, it’s not that the head is inside this tripod, is it? There was so much struggle before, and now there’s no movement. What’s going on?”
Jiang Zhipan floated toward the tripod, trying to see inside through the mouth of the tripod, but it was pitch dark inside, like a black hole.
“I can’t see anything. It all feels strange. The commotion earlier, it could very well have been caused by this Divine Corpse. Now…”
Before Jiang Zhipan could finish speaking, a heart-throbbing power burst out from within the tripod, instantly breaking through the seal of the tripod’s mouth!
Immediately after, billows of Demonic Qi soared into the sky, and a wild laughter emanated from amongst it.
“Haha… Old fellows, you’ve dismembered me and suppressed me for hundreds of millions of years, yet here I am, freed at last!”
Within the Demonic Qi, a mountain-sized head was laughing aloud, the laughter causing the air to ripple!
“Oh no? Looks like I guessed right. This guy was gathering strength to break the seal, which is why there was a moment of calm.” Jiang Zhipan raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with solemnity.
As if the head had heard Jiang Zhipan’s words, the laughter abruptly stopped, the Demonic Qi dissipating into the head. A pair of sharp eyes turned toward the three of them.
Under that gaze, Li Cheng felt his whole body tense up, an icy chill spreading throughout him!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, from those giant eyes shot forth two streams of Demonic Qi, heading straight for the place where Li Cheng and the others stood.
In that instant, Li Cheng’s scalp tingled. Without hesitation, he expanded his Law field in an attempt to fend off the two assaults.
However, his Law field, which was usually infallible, crumbled instantly against these attacks, barely slowing them down before being broken through, their momentum unabated.
The two assaults were incredibly fast, and Li Cheng had no chance to evade, as they pierced through his chest in an instant. The thick Demonic Qi spread over the wounds, preventing them from healing.
“Are you insane? That’s Divine Power, and you’re trying to block it with a lower level of strength? Use that tripod!” Jiang Zhipan cried out.
“Eh?”
In midair, the head showed a surprised expression, clearly not expecting that its two assaults had only pierced two holes in Li Cheng’s chest without killing him.
Li Cheng was also shocked. Were deities this terrifying? His own domain and body, which he was so proud of, could not withstand the casual attacks of another.
In his astonishment, Li Cheng circulated his cultivation technique, wrapping the Immortal Yuan infused with Divine Patterns around himself and began refining the Demonic Qi that had entered his body, his wounds visibly recovering at a rapid pace.
Since crossing over, this was the first time he’d been wounded!
“Oh? A demigod, and he cultivates the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture?” The head narrowed its eyes, a look of greed appearing within them.
“What a great tonic!” it muttered to itself. Then the head suddenly charged at Li Cheng, its mouth opening wide, and a tremendous sucking force emerged, as if intent on swallowing Li Cheng whole.
Li Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Just a head, and I really can’t believe I can’t handle you!”
Reaching for the foot of the large tripod, Li Cheng advanced instead of retreating, lifting the tripod and smashing it towards the head.
The head was as colossal as a thousand miles, and Li Cheng in front of it was like an ant, swinging the tripod, aided by the sucking force, and hit the mountain-sized fang like lightning.
Bang!
A deafening sound exploded, and waves of sound burst forth from the mouth of the tripod, crashing into the giant maw.
The entire head was sent reeling backwards!
“After being suppressed for hundreds of millions of years, this guy is very weak. While he’s not yet reunited with his body, let’s take him down!” Jiang Zhipan shouted.
Without needing his encouragement, Li Cheng had the same intention.
With a flicker of his figure, Li Cheng caught up with the tumbling head, and struck down with the tripod once again.
But suddenly, the head shrank to the size of a normal human head, leaving Li Cheng to strike at nothing, the distance between them increasing by hundreds of miles.
Before Li Cheng could make another move, another ribbon-like stream of Demonic Qi flew out from the head, locked onto Li Cheng, and was unavoidable.
All Li Cheng managed to do was to place the tripod in front of him, but he and the tripod were blown away together by the attack.
