Outside the Dragon Burial Abyss, beneath the Ghost Pool.
The Giant God, who was sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the pool healing his injuries, slowly opened his eyes. Ten zhang before him, a sharp sword had been pinned to the bottom of the pool.
Sharp cyan sword rays swirled around the sword, whose body was silver-white and blade razor-sharp. Even though the Giant God had pinned it down, this sentient sword still radiated waves of heavenly might, trying to break free of its bonds and fly away into the sky.
This sword was a flying sword, and it had come from beyond the heavens.
The Giant God slowly recalled the moment this sword had flown toward him.
That day, the Giant God had just arrived in the void outside the Celestial God Tomb. Just as he was about to tear open the realm barrier and enter the Celestial God Tomb, he suddenly sensed a terrifying killing intent coming from behind him.
At the moment danger arrived, he immediately condensed his defenses as a Giant God. In addition to the innate physical strength of the Giant God Race and his extraordinary cultivation, he felt that such defenses would keep him unharmed even if someone ambushed him from behind.
Yet he had still been careless.
Once he had prepared himself and was about to turn around and look, he saw a cyan sword flying out of the dark void. In the blink of an eye, it had reached his back.
Even more astonishingly... when this flying sword attacked, it pierced through all the defenses around him with lightning speed, shattered his protective shield, pierced through the flesh of the Giant God Race—hailed as the number one divine body in the myriad realms—and drove straight through his heart, emerging from his chest.
