Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 443: Chapter 439: Thousand-Zhang Giant, Minor Achievement Law

The most terrifying battle erupted.

As they clashed, the earth continuously crumbled and sank. Within a thousand-mile radius, not a single living creature remained.

The entire area had become a forbidden zone. Anyone who dared to step inside, even an expert of the Heaven-Reaching Realm, would risk their life.

”This battle... is probably the most terrifying one the Six Eastern Provinces have seen in a thousand years.”

The people’s voices trembled, shaken to their core by the power of the Celestial Martial Realm.

In the last millennium, although powerful experts had often clashed in the Six Eastern Provinces, none of their battles could even remotely compare to the scale of this one.

After all, this was the Seven Great Kings attacking Ning Jiang in unison.

This was an unprecedented event. Any single King possessed unfathomable power; the seven of them joining forces could destroy everything.

”It’s unbelievable that this Ning Jiang actually has such a trump card, to be able to fight against seven Kings.”

Most gazes were focused on Ning Jiang.

Before this battle broke out, no one could have possibly imagined that Ning Jiang could contend with the Seven Great Kings all by himself.

Everyone had underestimated Ning Jiang.

People had thought that when the Kings demanded his Cultivation Technique, Ning Jiang should have obediently handed it over. No one expected him to choose the most violent path—to fight back against the Kings!

”I have to admit, Ling Tianxu is truly far inferior to him. Even Ling Tianxu would have to swallow his pride in the face of seven Kings.”

”Who wouldn’t? Who among us would dare say a single word of defiance to the Seven Great Kings?”

The crowd marveled.

A deep sense of awe grew in their hearts. Even the True Monarchs of the Heaven-Reaching Realm felt a sincere admiration for Ning Jiang.

To fight Kings—seven of them at once—with an Immortal Realm Cultivation... In the history of the Six Eastern Provinces, he was absolutely the first to ever do so, without precedent!

And after him, there would likely be no other.

Unprecedented and unrepeatable, one of a kind!

At that moment, the name Ning Jiang was deeply engraved in their hearts.

BOOM!

Another violent clash erupted. Holding the Thunderous Great Bow, Ning Jiang fired an unprecedented arrow. It streaked across the sky like a Divine Sun, fell like a meteor, and exploded thunderously before the Seven Great Kings.

Heaven and earth shook violently, the sound deafening.

A blinding light enveloped a thousand-mile radius. Beneath the terrifying shockwaves, the very ground turned to dust.

”Enough.”

Suddenly, an enraged roar echoed.

A column of Essence Qi shot out from the center, soaring into the heavens like a straight plume of wolf smoke, scattering the clouds. Immediately after, the crowd felt as if an incomparably terrifying Fierce Beast was awakening at the epicenter.

It was so terrifying, its mountain-like might pressing down, blanketing heaven and earth.

BAM!

An area of land a hundred miles across caved in by thirty feet with a thunderous roar, as if a giant palm had slammed down upon it. A vast shockwave, like a boundless ocean, filled the entire world.

”This? What is this?”

Countless people stared, dumbfounded.

There, an incomparably massive figure had appeared. It stood ten thousand feet tall, propping up the heavens, its head even touching the clouds.

It was so immense that its muscles bulged like mountains, and its fingers were like pillars supporting the sky.

”That’s the Primordial Giant Spirit Body!”

The crowd immediately guessed that this giant figure was the Primordial King.

’This is the true Primordial Giant Spirit Body. Compared to the Sect Leader, I’m so far behind.’

Within the Primordial Sect, Xia Tianyu murmured to himself.

When he pushed the Primordial Giant Spirit Body he cultivated to its limit, it only reached a height of a thousand feet. Compared to the heaven-propping Giant before him, it was as laughable as a small child.

This Giant could turn him into a meat paste with a casual flick of a finger.

”Legend has it that the Primordial Giant Spirit Body is a Cultivation Technique obtained from the Ancient Forbidden Land. It was suspected to be a Body Refining Technique of the Ancient Giants. Now it seems the rumors might be true!”

”I’ve heard that the ancient Giant Clan possessed innate Divine Power. Once they reached adulthood, they could grow to ten thousand feet, drink a river dry in a single gulp, and toss mountains around like balls. There’s even a saying that the kings among Giants could grow to a hundred thousand feet tall!”

”A hundred-thousand-foot body? Couldn’t they destroy an entire province with a single palm strike? That has to be an exaggeration.”

The crowd broke into fervent discussion.

Ning Jiang’s ears twitched as he overheard their conversation. As a Legendary Venerable from a hundred thousand years ago, he knew that hundred-thousand-foot-tall Giants did indeed exist in this world.

He had even personally seen the ancestors of the Giants, who were even taller than that.

Among the many races of the Great Thousand Realms, the Giant Clan was undoubtedly one of the strongest.

They were born with innate Divine Power and colossal physiques; even some Demon Beasts couldn’t compare to their physical forms. In contrast, ordinary members of the Human Race were born utterly helpless, no match for Giants at all.

However, the Human Race was a race of infinite potential. Though born weak, it repeatedly produced Top Level experts who could command the heavens and the earth.

To rise from insignificance—that was the way of the Human Race.

’A ten-thousand-foot body. That does give you the right to be compared to the Giant Clan. But so what? Among the countless experts I trampled underfoot back in my day, there were plenty of Giant kings!’

Endless battle intent flared in Ning Jiang’s eyes. Even if a true Ancient Giant stood before him now, he would not feel the slightest bit of fear.

”Die!”

The Primordial King stomped his foot.

BAM!

The earth shook violently, and a footprint several thousand feet wide appeared. He swatted with one of his palms, which blotted out the sun as it descended upon Ning Jiang.

The entire sky darkened. The palm was as vast as a cloud hanging from the heavens, capable of annihilating a Top Grade Sect with a single motion.

”Go.”

Ning Jiang’s expression remained unchanged as he invoked the Law of Thunder.

SCREE!

A high, clear cry rang out as a Thunderbird emerged from the Law of Thunder and flew toward the massive hand.

This Thunderbird was not large—only the size of a palm. Before the sun-blotting giant palm, the Thunderbird was as minuscule as a speck of dust.

But the moment it appeared, the expressions of all the Kings changed.

”This is bad.”

The Primordial King’s scalp felt like it was about to explode, but it was too late to retract his hand. The Thunderbird made contact with his palm, and with a deafening BOOM, his entire hand was engulfed in scorching thunderlight.

When the thunderlight faded, the crowd saw an unbelievable sight.

The Primordial King’s entire palm was a mangled mess of torn flesh and gushing blood, with ghastly white bone visible underneath.

”How is that possible?”

Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to imagine that a palm-sized Thunderbird could possess such world-shocking power.

”That’s a Minor Achievement Law! He can actually invoke a Minor Achievement Law!”

A look of profound shock appeared in the Celestial Sword King’s eyes.

A Martial Artist’s strength in the Celestial Martial Realm depended on their comprehension of a Law. The deeper their understanding, the greater their power.

The levels of comprehension for a Law, just like with Martial Arts, are Entry Level, Minor Achievement, Great Success, and Perfection.

The seven of them had only reached the Entry Level in their comprehension of their respective Laws. But that Thunderbird just now... that was a Minor Achievement Law.
