Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1600: Chapter 1638: The Fire Giant King Attacks

The four vice pavilion masters including You Yunzi, along with several supervisors like Lin Yuheng, all applauded with faces full of gratification.

They had witnessed Jiang Fan’s journey all the way here firsthand.

Now seeing Jiang Fan’s grand wedding, it felt like watching their own junior starting a family, filling their hearts with indescribable satisfaction.

Even Shang Shiqiu and Leng Qingzhu, who were saddened by the fall of Yunyang Master, were all smiles as they offered their congratulations during the wedding.

The words of blessing intertwined into a grand melody.

Xu Youran blushed slightly, turning to face Jiang Fan, with tenderness in her eyes like water:

”Fan, let’s get married.”

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master flew over, saying, ”Let me officiate your wedding!”

Xu Youran bowed and said, ”Thank you, Pavilion Master.”

The Pavilion Master looked around at the monotonous Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and said:

”How about waiting a moment? Let me decorate the scene a bit, add some red makeup?”

”It’s too simple as it is, unworthy of Vice Pavilion Master Jiang’s promise to marry you splendidly.”

Xu Youran waved her hand and said, ”No need.”

”Fan is about to transform into divinity, unnecessary formalities will waste time.”

”Besides...”

She held Jiang Fan’s hand, showing pride, ”Fan is an outstanding talent of this age.”

”So many women in this world envy me. Being married to him itself is unmatched glory.”

”There’s no need for additional ornamentations.”

The Pavilion Master secretly admired her, thinking she was truly a virtuous and good girl.

Her accompaniment from the very humble beginnings of Jiang Fan was not coincidental but due to her character.

If time turned back, she would still accompany Jiang Fan.

And those who left Jiang Fan would still leave.

He nodded and said, ”I apologize for the grievance.”

”No phoenix robe, no ten-mile red makeup, not even fireworks or firecrackers.”

Xu Youran shook her head, saying, ”Please, Pavilion Master, begin.”

The Pavilion Master said no more.

Solemnly he spoke loudly: ”On the third day of April, in the Jiawu year, Vice Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion in Taicang State, Nine Aperture Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, Human Clan prodigy Jiang Fan, and his fiancée Xu Youran meet at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.”

”With heaven and earth as witness, the sun and moon as illumination, and guests from all Four Seas as witness.”

”The two are wed at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, tying the knot.”

”Gather the wish power of all guests, wishing the couple lifelong companionship until old age.”

”Now, the wedding begins.”

Everyone sat upright, their eyes filled with blessings.

At the moment the ceremony completes, they will truly be husband and wife.

Jiang Fan will also fulfill his inner aspirations, waking up to enter the Divinity Transformation.

Everyone eagerly anticipated that moment.

Except, just at that moment.

The ground’s gravel suddenly jumped, and the still pond in the square silently rippled.

Many Nascent Soul experts present noticed the anomaly instantly due to their keen senses.

They turned their gaze to the distance.

At the horizon towards the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s mountain gate, with the naked eye, they saw mountain peaks collapsing, raising endless dust.

The ancient earth cracked open as ravines rapidly approached the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

It was as if some terrifying creature was obliterating everything in its path with overwhelming force.

”It’s the Giant King!”

The Fire Worship Sect Leader shouted sternly.

Having participated in battles, they were no strangers to the Giant King.

Only a Giant King could cause such earth-shattering phenomena.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master’s pupils shook, but he swiftly calmed.

The urgent task was for Jiang Fan to rapidly awaken into Divinity Transformation.

Once he enters Divinity Transformation, there’s hope to slay the Giant King; otherwise, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion would be destroyed today, and the Fire Worship Sect would also face demise here.

No hesitations were allowed.

He shouted aloud: ”First bow to Heaven and Earth!”

Xu Youran looked at the formidable incoming Giant King, her face still with a smile, holding Jiang Fan’s hand, bowing towards the distant heavens and earth.

Boom!

At the same time.

The terrifying scorching air approached in the roar of earth cracking.

Flowers and grass in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion instantly burned, emitting dense smoke.

The clothes of low-tier disciples also started smoking, about to ignite.

A terrifying Giant King, towering over twenty zhang tall, like a mountain, wreathed in black smoke with magma splattering from cracks all over its body, descended from the sky.

Its gigantic foot crushed the pavilion’s gate tower.

Earthfire erupted, turning the surroundings into a sea of flames.

Its forehead was adorned with two rotating stars, emitting the dreadful might of the Fire Origin.

A massive vertical eye cruelly overlooked the crowd in the pavilion:

”Heh heh heh.”

”Wang Chongxiao reached Nine Apertures? Does he wish to fight to the death, charging into Divinity Transformation Realm?”

”Looks like he failed, becoming a madman.”

”If the once-hero were slaughtered in front of all Central Earth, it should make the people of Central Earth quite desperate, right?”

Everyone’s heart sank heavily.

This was unexpectedly a Two-star Giant King!

With a mere gesture, it could destroy all of them!

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master suppressed his fear and stayed calm, saying, ”Second bow to the High Hall!”

The Two-star Giant King grinned slyly:

”Oh? Still holding a wedding?”

”What’s the point? Better come back with me to the Netherworld King; he’ll arrange for you well!”

He was fully pleased.

Never imagined Jiang Fan would go mad like this.

Capturing this Jiang Fan would be effortless, and taking him back would surely earn great rewards from the Netherworld King.

However.

Just as he took a step towards the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, a light curtain soared to the sky, blocking him outside.

Then, two more light curtains successively protected the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

They were the three layers of array plates that could withstand a blow from the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Qian Lan Fairy warned gravely, ”Be careful, everyone, this defensive array won’t hold against him!”

”The Fire Worship Sect’s great array was shattered by merely two punches from him.”

The defensive great array of the Fire Worship Sect, bestowed by elders of the Sage Realm, was stronger than the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s.

Yet, it still couldn’t withstand his two punches.

Indeed.

The Two-star Giant King sneered, his foot suddenly exerting force.

Crack!

The first layer of light curtain shattered without resistance.

His giant foot kicked the second layer of light curtain, only to be blocked.

Yet the second layer of light curtain was already densely cracked, about to shatter instantly.

Another kick and both the second and third layers would break.

”Regrettably, your great array cannot protect you!”

With a sneer, the Two-star Giant King kicked again, both the second and third layers shattered without resistance.

Large pieces of light fragments rained into the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, scattering everywhere.

Faces of everyone were filled with despair.

It was already too late.

Only Xu Youran still maintained a calm smile, holding Jiang Fan, turning towards the direction of Lonely Boat City on the continent.

Through the vast distance, she bowed towards Jiang Fan’s father’s tomb, and Xu Zhengyan’s grave in Lonely Boat City.

The Two-star Fire Giant King sneered mockingly: ”At this time, still holding ceremony?”

To avoid long nights of trouble, he flicked his long tongue towards Jiang Fan.

But.

Just as his long tongue lashed out, a sharp pain shot through his tongue.

There was a hole in his tongue.

A bronze hairpin, covered in blood, was retrieved by a dignified palace-dressed woman.

She had a divine ring with three flame marks at the back of her head.

Her aura of vast energy inexplicably invigorated the spirit.

The newcomer, of course, was the Red Demon Venerable, who had reforged the Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin.

The hairpin still bore a visible crack.

She was still reforging the hairpin, but had to stop due to the Giant King’s attack.

”The Heavenly Human Three Declines?”

The face of the sneering Two-star Fire Giant King froze on the spot.
