Surging waves, vivid and blood-red, battered the Blood-Mud Giant's legs without cease.
Zhang Yuan stood with sword in hand, listening to Queyin True Person, Venerable Youkong, and the others without any change in his expression.
He had no interest in these people, or even in the Blood-Mud Giant before him. The only thing that interested him was the Sumeru Stone on Juesheng True Person.
If not for that Sumeru Stone, he would never have come here.
"Delay only invites trouble. I'll chop it down with one stroke."
Zhang Yuan exhaled. The conceptual image within him connected with his Sword Qi, and the Primordial Form-Converging Sword in his hand unleashed Three-Colored Qi Light.
The qi light soared into the heavens.
Like an enormous pillar of light, it illuminated the seas in every direction. Every living creature that had survived the Blood-Mud Giant's maw looked up at that brilliant pillar.
Beneath its radiance, the surging tides froze, towering waves hung in midair, and even the Blood-Mud Giant, which stood tall enough to hold up the heavens, became impossibly sluggish.
Mystic Wonder: Spring Harmony Scenery.
The sword rose, then fell.
The pillar of light piercing the heavens abruptly slashed downward.
Juesheng True Person was also affected by Spring Harmony Scenery, but his Ascension Realm cultivation lessened its influence, allowing him to move.
"Not good!"
Juesheng True Person's gaze shifted slightly. Sensing intense danger in that three-colored pillar, he hurriedly commanded the Blood-Mud Giant to dodge.
The Blood-Mud Giant moved slowly, its legs struggling to take steps through the sea. It shifted direction a little, but that was far from enough.
The Three-Colored Qi Light, like a pillar reaching into the heavens, skimmed past the Blood-Mud Giant's head and cleaved into its body, slicing straight through half of it and splitting it in two.
