Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1552: Chapter 1590: Decisive Victory!

When Jiang Fan returned.

The various sects and troops that were pursuing the remnants of the Ancient Giants also successively returned.

They carried the enormous heads and threw them onto the battlefield.

The Master of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple, covered in blood and with a shocking wound piercing his chest, appeared weak.

Yet his eyes were unusually bright, and he said loudly, "Reporting to the Venerate, all remnants of the Ancient Giants have been exterminated!"

The Heart Demon Venerable nodded.

Looking at the tragic state of the Hall Master, at the miserable situation of the remaining Wan Jie Temple disciples, at the numerous disciples’ bodies scattered on the ground.

The usually rough-edged man couldn’t help but feel his eyes turn red, and said with a tremor in his voice:

"You all... have worked hard."

The Hall Master also spoke sorrowfully with tears rolling down, "Venerate, you have worked hard too."

The Heart Demon Venerable mustered his courage and asked, "What are the casualties?"

The Hall Master hesitated, and after a long pause, said, "All six Nine Aperture Nascent Soul seniors heroically sacrificed themselves."

"Out of the fourteen Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul seniors, only Song Lingyu, Zhou Wenyuan, and Huang Linzhou are severely injured and unconscious."

"Of the leaders of the six divisions, only two survived."

"Half of the remaining Nascent Soul disciples died."

The shocking casualties caused the Heart Demon Venerable to painfully close his eyes.

This battle had a too heavy cost.

However, he quickly composed himself, opened his eyes, and firmly reassured the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple disciples: "Don’t be sad!"

"Originally, we were headed for total destruction, and the fact that more than half of the disciples are still here is already a miracle!"

"We won the war against the Ancient Giants!"

The disciples were uplifted, and some of the grief was reduced.

Indeed, although the battle was fierce.

The fact that more than half of the disciples survived is already a miracle among miracles!

Before the battle, no one believed they could win against eight Giant Kings and over a thousand Ancient Giants with just five Divinity Transformation Venerables and five hundred late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

It was the courageous sacrifice of every martyr that turned the tide in their favor.

The situation in the Great Yin Sect was similarly tragic.

All Nine Aperture Nascent Soul cultivators perished, and few Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul cultivators remained.

More than half of the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators were casualties.

The Fire Worship Sect, the Myriad Phenomena Void Realm, the Heaven and Sea Pavilion, and other sects all suffered grievous losses.

Out of over seventy medium and small sects, only about forty remained.

Of the original hundred sects, half were wiped out.

The cold numbers represent the demise of one sect after another, cruel beyond measure.

Jiang Fan arrived at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s group.

His heart was in his throat as he scanned the crowd.

Fairy Yun Shang, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master, Liu Qingxian, Xia Chaoge, the Slave Heart Demon Emperor...

The familiar faces he passed by gradually put his heart at ease.

However, after surveying, he realized some were missing.

Apart from the Rebellious Guy and Little Tiger, there were twenty-five people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion participating in the battle.

Now, only twenty-two remained.

His heart sank, and he asked shakily, "Where are the other three?"

Lin Yuheng said mournfully, "Ning Kun Master shielded me from the Ancient Giant’s long tongue, and was swallowed and eaten..."

Ning Kun?

That stern and rigid old man, revered by all the disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?

Jiang Fan couldn’t even remember the last time he spoke to him.

He clenched his fists and asked, "Does he have any descendants on the Continent?"

Lin Yuheng replied with guilt, "He has a family, and I will do my utmost to take care of his family members."

Jiang Fan handed her a Space Storage Device and said, "Add my contribution."

Then, with a heavy heart, he asked, "Who else?"

You Yunzi hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Yunyang Master."

Thud!

Jiang Fan’s heart was struck hard.

The master he had worshiped when he first entered the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?

Though it was only a short month, and they hadn’t interacted much.

But her image, frequently with a book in hand, left a deep impression on him.

She was gone too.

"Is her body... still there?" Jiang Fan choked out.

You Yunzi said tearfully, "Yes, I plan to take her body back to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion for burial."

Jiang Fan’s eyes reddened, voice trembling: "Who’s the last one?"

He didn’t want to hear, didn’t want to hear any more names.

"Ah, count me in then."

A helpless sigh came.

Jiang Fan looked through misty eyes at a small soul-sized figure hovering in front of him, clutching the Moon Realm.

It was Liang Feiyan.

He scratched his head and said, "While avoiding the Giant’s attack, I got run over and crushed by a guy with a battle chariot."

Poof!

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but laugh through his tears.

The originally sad atmosphere turned surprisingly humorous due to Liang Feiyan’s unfortunate accident.

Liang Feiyan blushed with embarrassment, "Stop laughing!"

"Ren Guhong, you are laughing when the bird that got smashed by a Wolf Fang Club recovered?"

Struggling to suppress his laughter, Ren Guhong stiffened, his face turning red, wishing he could crawl into a hole.

Liang Feiyan, this rascal, had to drag him down the mud?

No way, he couldn’t be the only one mocked.

He looked around, targeting the carefree, laughing Rebellious Guy, and sneered:

"What are you laughing at?"

"Have you cleaned your peed-in cloth?"

The Rebellious Guy immediately looked at his cloth, damp and slightly yellow.

During the decisive battle, it almost got trampled to death and was scared to wet its pants.

It blushed furiously, covering its face with green scales.

"Hahaha, there’s even someone who peed their pants. It’s hilarious!"

Gu Xin’er laughed, holding her belly, tears almost coming out.

The Rebellious Guy felt both furious and ashamed, demanding, "Is it that funny? Huh?"

"You, a woman who can’t tell front from back!"

Hmm?

Gu Xin’er immediately stopped smiling, a chill on her face: "Say that again? What do you mean by can’t tell front from back?"

The Rebellious Guy huffed, "I didn’t say it!"

"It was some Ancient Giant muttering in Hell’s language about how your head grew on your back."

Poof!

Hahaha!

Everyone couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

Gu Xin’er’s face was flushed, jumping in frustration, "Which bastard Giant said that?"

"Take me to him!"

"I’ll chop up his corpse to feed dogs, feed dogs!!!"

Jiang Fan at least said she was a handful.

This damned Giant, did his ancestors lose their sight?

Saying her front is the same as the back!

Outrageous!

With this incident, Jiang Fan was able to regain his composure.

Compared to other sects, where either half of the disciples were lost or the sect was entirely destroyed.

The relatively low casualties of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion were already a miracle.

This was thanks to everyone having received the Heavenly Clothes Divine Water and Anti-Void Spirit Pill from Jiang Fan, effectively giving them two lives in battle.

Moreover, Jiang Fan’s fame from attacking the Heavenly Realm twice and entering Heavenly Heritage City, for Taicang State, earned him the respect of the world.

As a result, on the battlefield, members of other sects especially took care of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion disciples.

The best example is the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master.

During the initial assault on the Stone Battle Group, when the Pavilion Master was on the brink of death, an elder from the Great Yin Sect sacrificed himself to save him, and he perished as a result.

Others, more or less, received their protection both openly and secretly.

This was the blessing Jiang Fan accumulated for all at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Thinking of this, he gestured his gratitude silently in the direction of all the sects by bowing.

At this moment.

The sky shimmered with radiant gleam.

Nine projections appeared again.

The battle conditions in each state were simultaneously displayed across the Central Earth Nine Provinces.

Every state’s forces could see the battle conditions of the others.
