Chapter 2357 - Giant in the Ocean! (1/2)

Chapter 2357: Giant in the Ocean!

Li Xuantu was taken aback at first, but after seeing the six giant pillars, he understood.

There was no doubt that the six pillars were the key to everything. If they could comprehend the secrets of the six pillars, they would be able to find a clue linked to the Celestial Palace’s core.

“Let’s go!”

Wang Chong chose one of the pillars and immediately began to make his way toward it.

Li Xuantu also shot in the same direction.

Rumble!

The two of them hadn’t gone far before they were taken by surprise. With a massive boom, the ocean in front of them parted, and a giant axe sliced through the waves and attacked Wang Chong and Li Xuantu from below.

Before the axe even made impact, a powerful energy had locked onto the pair, distorting space with its immense pressure.

“Die!”

With a violent and frenzied roar, an enormous figure jumped out of the ocean.

Imposing, ancient, crazed… that figure exuded an energy from an ancient era, and his massive body could leave anyone stunned.

Before the two of them had time to think, that axe was already on the verge of hitting Wang Chong.

“Celestial Fortress!”

Wang Chong immediately took out Genesis Supreme’s halo divine tool. It appeared in front of him in a blinding flash of light and stopped this frightening attack.

Bang!

The axe clashed with the halo divine tool, the immense destructive power infused into it exploding outward. Crack! Where axe met halo, cracks formed along the halo divine tool, energy erupting from them like lava from a volcano and blasting Wang Chong away.

“How could this be?!”

Wang Chong was alarmed by this sight.

He had never imagined that this opponent would be so powerful that he could create a crack in the halo divine tool with only one strike.

“Watch out! This man is absurdly powerful!”

Wang Chong flew backward, calling out in warning to Li Xuantu as he tried to neutralize the power of the impact.

That attack had been a simple axe swing without any sort of skill or technique, but it had already been enough to create cracks in the halo divine tool. In other words, this man’s brute strength was enough to reach the Grotto Heaven realm.

“Die! Die! Die! Everyone must die!”

Frenzied roars came from up ahead.

That giant that had jumped out of the ocean flailed around his giant axe and once more attacked the pair. But this time, his target was the closer Li Xuantu rather than Wang Chong.

With this chance to catch his breath, Wang Chong could finally see what this person looked like.

His body was enormous, nearly nine meters tall, similar to the giants Wang Chong had encountered at the Battle of Talas.

He wore thick black armor on his body, which made his massive body seem even more brimming with strength and power.

He had a thick and messy beard, and his face was pale and seemingly devoid of blood. But the most striking trait was his bronze eyes. They were crazed, chaotic, and seething with endless anger and hatred.

Bang!

The axe slammed down, and even though Li Xuantu had heard Wang Chong’s warning and mentally prepared himself, he was still knocked away like he was a ragdoll.

“How could this be? What monster is this?”

Several thousand feet away, Li Xuantu looked at this bloodied and numb arm, his mind in turmoil.

While that monster had not used spatial energy, his axe was unbelievably fast. As it swung, it distorted spacetime, preventing Li Xuantu from dodging. Moreover, the blade of the axe had Stellar-Piercing properties. For Li Xuantu, who didn’t use weapons, this was basically a natural counter.

“No one is allowed entry! Intruders will all be slain!”

The crazed armored giant didn’t care. He had a maddened expression and had completely lost all rationality. After pushing away Li Xuantu, he swung his giant axe again, unleashing a tsunami of Stellar Energy.

Besides that, the ocean for hundreds of thousands of feet around the armored giant began to seethe. Vast quantities of water gathered onto the giant’s Stellar Energy, further strengthening his attack.

The giant’s axe sparkled with blue light, seemingly imbued with incredible magic power. Kacrack! There was a boom of thunder, and then ten-some thick lightning bolts crashed down from the thunderclouds above and onto the giant axe.

Wang Chong slightly grimaced at this sight.

This giant already had frightening strength, and by borrowing the power of the ocean and lightning, he grew even more absurdly strong.

“Together!”

With no hesitation, Wang Chong and Li Xuantu chose to work together against this giant.
