Chapter 1566: Chapter 1604: Jiang Wuya Returns

"What on earth is this thing? Why does it have its own consciousness?"

The Three-star Giant King shouted in anger and shock.

The stele ignored him, flying back to the space that imprisoned Jiang Fan. It pressed down gently, causing the space to shatter.

Jiang Fan managed to escape, looking like a porcelain figure about to break, his body covered with countless cracks.

A single touch would cause it to shatter.

He quickly took out a Heavenly Clothes Divine Water and consumed it, the cracks rapidly disappearing.

The icy, tearing pain inside his body also faded away like a receding tide.

Ignoring his body, he fixed his gaze firmly on the Misfortune God Stele before him, his eyes filled with confusion, and hesitantly asked:

"Do you have your own Spiritual Wisdom?"

The stele descended in front of him, meeting his gaze.

A familiar voice, making Jiang Fan incredulous, emerged from within the stele.

"It’s me, brother."

Jiang Fan felt as if the world was spinning, as though time had reverted.

His pupils widened, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and disbelief filled his eyes.

There were many who called him brother in this world.

The Four Seas Demon Emperor and the Silver Apricot Tree were among those who addressed him that way.

But, only one person made him unable to believe this form of address would appear again.

And that was Jiang Wuya, who had already fallen.

The True Word Venerable and others also recognized it, simultaneously showing expressions of disbelief.

They stared unblinkingly at this stele.

Jiang Fan’s throat moved slightly, partly out of fear that he had misheard.

He trembled and said: "Jiang... big brother? Is it really you?"

A voice of relief came from the stele: "Thank you, my brother, for guarding the mountains and rivers of Taicang State."

"I have seen it all with my own eyes."

It indeed was Jiang Wuya!

Tears welled up in Jiang Fan’s eyes as he rushed forward, holding the edges of the stele, excitedly saying:

"Weren’t you... weren’t you gone?"

He had witnessed Jiang Wuya’s last wisp of soul’s light disappearing into the void.

How could he return in the form of the Misfortune God Stele?

Jiang Wuya apologized: "Sorry for worrying you."

"I did indeed die, and my consciousness dissipated too."

"It was the Misfortune God Stele’s spirit that absorbed all my scattered soul lights into the stele to nourish them."

"That way, consciousness was reformed, but it’s just consciousness still."

"If I leave the stele, I would turn back into scattered light spots."

"Now, I don’t know if I am considered a soul of the Human Clan or the Artifact Spirit of the stele."

He ended with a bitter smile.

Jiang Fan suddenly understood!

When the Great Wine Sacrifice brought him into the Forbidden Land, it was said that if he was destined with the Misfortune God Stele, he should take it away.

Unfortunately, when he arrived, the stele did not respond.

In the end, it was Jiang Wuya’s self-sacrifice, with a strong will to fulfill the beings, that gained the stele’s approval.

At the moment of his death, his soul lights were all absorbed.

Thus allowing him to continue surviving as the Artifact Spirit of the Misfortune God Stele.

At the same time, Jiang Fan somewhat understood why the person assigned to guard the light shield by the Great Wine Sacrifice was not Evil Crow Venerable, nor Heart Demon Venerable, nor Bodhisattva.

But Jiang Wuya.

He had foreseen that only someone like Jiang Wuya, who was wholeheartedly righteous, would gain the stele’s approval.

And ultimately mobilize this stele to become the backbone of the great battle.

He swept away the grief in his chest, a relieved smile on his face as he patted the side of the stele.

"If our Taicang State can survive this catastrophe, I will use all my remaining life to help you reshape your body!"

Jiang Wuya laughed: "That’s for the future."

"For now, let’s continue the battle!"

"Leave that Three-star Giant King to me. For the rest, kill as many as you can!"

With that, he charged at the Three-star Giant King with the force to suppress all beings.

The latter was both shocked and furious, shouting distantly to the Water and Fire Two-star Giant Kings:

"What are you waiting for? Kill them! Not a single one should be left!"

"Otherwise, the king will not spare you useless lot!"

The Fire Giant King stood resolutely.

They had lost ten Giant Kings in battle, while the enemy was just a few.

If the king found out, they would not escape punishment.

Thinking of the king’s cruelty, he shivered and looked at Jiang Fan and others with killing intent.

He decisively pulled out his golden Wolf Fang Club, grimly saying:

"With our nine Giant Kings, are we afraid of just five and a corpse?"

"Besides, we have two Two-star Giant Kings!"

After a brief panic, the Giant Kings regained their composure, displaying ferocity.

The main reason for their heavy casualties was due to the Bodhisattva’s strange grand aspiration and the consumption of his blood containing Breath Soil.

Otherwise, Jiang Fan and others would have long been crushed to fragments by them.

Now, without the Bodhisattva, what difficulty would there be in killing them?

Jiang Fan and others also maintained a solemn demeanor.

Though they no longer faced the enormous threat of the Three-star Giant King, they were up against nine Giant Kings!

This battle, the odds seemed still dim.

Pingtian Bodhisattva said calmly: "Correction, it’s not nine against five."

He silently chanted a Buddhist mantra, and the surrounding ground suddenly gathered into a mass of sand, forming a twenty-zhang tall Giant King.

It was the converted Two-star Giant King!

Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva had once said that the effect of the converted grand aspiration derived from this world, and even if he died, its effects would persist.

Now that Pingtian Bodhisattva had taken over the Bodhisattva Fruit Position, he naturally could command the Sand Giant King.

Everyone’s eyes lit up slightly.

Now it was six against nine, finally offering a spark of hope!

"In addition..." Pingtian Bodhisattva looked up to the sky, reciting a Buddhist phrase.

Golden Sanskrit characters fell from the sky onto the Twelve-leaf Golden Lotus beneath him.

He had indeed activated the grand aspiration of "The Giants Shall Not Live, Otherwise I Shall Not Achieve Buddhahood!"

The Golden Lotus expanded under the nourishment of the Sanskrit, its leaves increasing from twelve to sixteen.

The Twelve-leaf Golden Lotus represented a First Grade Bodhisattva.

The Sixteen-leaf Golden Lotus represented a Second Grade Bodhisattva!

Pingtian Bodhisattva locked his gaze on the Fire Giant King, calmly stating:

"With the combat power of the Heavenly Human Two Declines, we’re two against two!"

Jiang Fan, shocked yet delighted, realized the difficult aspiration established by the Bodhisattva, the greater its effect.

For example, Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva’s third aspiration, transforming tribulations, had the powerful ability to open the void, taking countless enemies with it in destruction.

While Pingtian Bodhisattva had made the colossal aspiration that the Giants would not survive, otherwise he would not achieve Buddhahood.

The abilities it provided were even stronger!

Which was, when encountering Giants, he could stand equally matched against them.

As his Buddhist name, Pingtian Bodhisattva!

Thus it came to be.

True Word Venerable dealt with the Water Giant King, and Pingtian Bodhisattva took on the Fire Giant King.

The remaining seven One-star Giant Kings were handled by Jiang Fan, Heart Demon Venerable, Jian Lanjiang, and the Sand Giant King.

Seven against four.

Among them, the war corpses controlled by Jian Lanjiang and the Sand Giant King were considered Puppets.

Their combat power was slightly weaker than the ordinary Divinity Transformation Realm.

The real deadly force was Jiang Fan and Heart Demon Venerable.

However, compared to the time of deepest despair, it was infinitely better.

Murderous intent flashed in Jiang Fan’s eyes, "Everyone, this is the final fight!"

Without a word, True Word Venerable filled his eyes with hostility and charged at the Water Giant King.

Pingtian Bodhisattva, riding the Twelve-leaf Golden Lotus, charged at the Fire Giant King.

The Fire Giant King snorted angrily: "Attack!"

"Priority is to kill Wang Chongxiao!"

Seven One-star Giant Kings immediately grasped their Wolf Fang Clubs, attacking Jiang Fan and his group.

Among them, four joined forces to target Jiang Fan alone!
