Wang Yu
Chapter 81 One-Eyed Giant and Centaur
Although the immense power contained in the opponent's punch startled him, the remarkable defense of his True Essence Body prevented any harm to his physical body.
As his gaze swept across, his pupils contracted slightly.
Standing hundreds of feet away was a yellow-skinned giant towering two to three hundred feet in height. Its body was covered with strange spiritual patterns, and its facial features were extremely grotesque - a sunken nose, a wide mouth. Most peculiar of all, it had no eyes, only a single, enormous vertical eye, its murky pupil flickering with turbid light.
The giant appeared dazed and muddled, yet it vaguely emanated a primordial aura comparable to that of a True Immortal, causing Han Li's eyes to twitch involuntarily.
This had nothing to do with the depth of the opponent's cultivation, but was purely a matter of intuitive perception.
Seeing that Han Li had taken his punch without so much as a scratch, the one-eyed giant paused, seemingly surprised. Then, with an angry roar, a large expanse of yellow light emerged from its body as it stomped through the air, charging madly toward Han Li.
Upon seeing this, Han Li quickly chanted an incantation, and golden light erupted from his body, swelling rapidly until he transformed into a golden-haired giant ape over twenty feet tall.
Seven blue star patterns appeared on the giant ape's chest and abdomen, shining brightly and emitting a vast expanse of starlight. This intertwined with the golden light on its body, causing its physique to swell once again.
One of its massive hands clenched into a fist, and its arm instantly grew thicker, smashing through the air towards the charging one-eyed giant.
The space in front of it twisted violently, and a mountain-like golden fist shadow emerged, laced with wisps of starlight that almost solidified it.
The giant roared, its feet unceasing, and swung a giant fist, meeting the golden fist shadow with lightning speed.
A deafening, earth-shattering boom resounded!
This time, the one-eyed giant's immense body was sent flying backward, falling from the sky like a meteor and crashing heavily onto the island.
The entire island shook violently, as a massive crater was created, sending clouds of dust billowing into the air.
The golden-haired giant ape swayed, and in the next moment, it appeared above the crater. Its two ape arms blurred, conjuring countless overlapping golden fist shadows that howled downwards.
The one-eyed giant barely managed to flip over and leap to its feet. It seemed unharmed, but with an enraged bellow, it stomped hard on the ground.
Bizarre yellow patterns appeared on its body, emitting a crystalline yellow light that quickly spread across the surrounding ground.
Crack, crack, crack!
Where the crystalline yellow light spread, the nearby soil immediately shattered, transforming into countless grains of yellow crystalline sand that spiraled upwards as if sentient, forming an incomparably tough yellow crystal sand armor around its body in an instant.
A burst of popping and cracking sounds, like rain hitting banana leaves, suddenly erupted!
Countless golden fist shadows slammed into the one-eyed giant, unleashing a dense array of golden halos that shattered into pieces.
The one-eyed giant did not even flinch, and the crystal sand armor on its body remained completely undamaged.
Upon seeing this, the golden-haired giant ape that Han Li had transformed into was slightly stunned and hastily retreated.
The giant fixed its single eye coldly on the giant ape in mid-air, raised its foot and stomped on the ground once more, as the yellow spiritual patterns on its body flashed.
With a "buzz," rings of yellow ripples spread out, instantly enveloping an area of over ten miles around.
The giant ape, caught mid-flight, felt its body suddenly sink as the surrounding gravity increased severalfold, as if an invisible hand was pulling it down with immense force, preventing it from standing steadily in mid-air and sending it crashing to the ground.
"Controlling gravity!" Han Li's heart sank.
But as soon as this thought arose in his mind, the giant ape crashed heavily to the ground, sinking several feet into the earth, sending countless stones flying.
Almost instantly, the one-eyed giant arrived, and a yellow-tinged giant fist, with earth-shattering force, smashed towards the giant ape, which had no way to dodge.
The fist stirred up a raging gale, drawing a huge white streak in the air.
The golden-haired giant ape crossed its arms and raised them, its surface instantly covered with dense golden scales.
With a deafening crash!
The giant ape felt an overwhelming force transmitted through its arms to its entire body, causing it to shake violently and sink another ten feet.
The one-eyed giant swayed slightly, and its two giant fists blurred, with countless giant fist shadows raining down on the giant ape like a violent storm.
Left with no choice, the giant ape waved its hands frantically, trying its best to resist, but it couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Although its physical body was now tough and fearless of the opponent's attacks, it was temporarily unable to escape due to the increased gravity. Its body continued to sink, and now almost everything below its waist was buried in the ground.
If this continued, it would probably be buried alive by the opponent.
Just then, an unexpected change occurred!
In the space over a hundred feet behind the one-eyed giant, spatial fluctuations arose, and a centaur-like monster over a hundred feet tall suddenly leaped out silently, its entire body enveloped in a swirling azure gale.
Its entire body was dark green, and its lower body was no different from that of a steed, except that it had no fur but was covered in a thick layer of azure scales. Its upper body was that of a stout, naked man, and more surprisingly, it had three identical heads side by side on its shoulders.
As soon as it appeared, while still leaping in the air, a thick, muscular arm was already raised high, holding a blue lightning spear several tens of feet long, which it suddenly hurled towards the one-eyed giant's heart.
Blue arcs of electricity leaped wildly on the lightning spear like boiling water, and with a flash of light, it suddenly pierced the one-eyed giant's back.
The giant was focused on fighting the giant ape that Han Li had transformed into, and when it sensed the change behind it, it was too late to evade.
With a roar, the spiritual patterns on its body lit up with a simultaneous yellow light, and the ground within several miles around suddenly trembled violently. The yellow crystal sand on the ground behind it suddenly flew up, weaving and interlacing, and turned into a brown sand wall blocking its back.
With a soft "poof" sound.
The blue lightning spear easily pierced through the sand wall and pierced into the one-eyed giant's body.
Then, a deafening "boom" was heard!
The blue lightning spear shone brightly, and countless arcs of electricity ejected out, exploding directly.
The one-eyed giant let out a miserable roar, and a large hole was blasted open in the position slightly above its abdomen, with large patches of reddish-brown blood splattering around the wound.
The centaur-like beast flashed backwards and landed hundreds of feet away. All three of its faces revealed a hint of joy, but only for a moment before they froze again.
Because it discovered that the lightning spear had not pierced the giant's heart as it had expected, but had penetrated it from above its abdomen. Even when it exploded, it had failed to deliver a fatal blow.
It turned out that the moment the lightning spear pierced through the sand wall, the one-eyed giant had already raised the ground by several feet by controlling the crystalline sand, barely avoiding its vital point.
But even so, the giant was still seriously injured. At this moment, blood was flowing from the corners of its mouth, and large patches of the crystal sand adhering to its body fell off, revealing irregular patches, making it look like a crumbling old wall that had weathered many storms.
Due to this sudden scene, the gravity field surrounding the area suddenly loosened, and the giant ape that Han Li had transformed into jumped out of the pit without a word and landed hundreds of feet away with a few flashes.
When his gaze swept over the centaur beast, his pupils narrowed slightly.
From the aura emanating from the opponent, combined with this fiend's talent for concealment, it was likely that it was responsible for his being knocked into this bubble space earlier.
He was not in a hurry to act, but stared intently at the two monsters in front of him.
At this time, the centaur beast leaped forward on all fours, and a gust of wind swept around its body as it suddenly rushed towards the one-eyed giant. It had already condensed a giant lightning spear in its hand, and with both hands, it rapidly thrust the spear towards the giant's heart.
A fierce look flashed in the one-eyed giant's eyes. It suddenly roared, and the light on its body shone brightly.
Countless yellow crystalline sands that filled the area rose up and gathered together, instantly turning into hundreds of dark yellow barbs that thrust towards the centaur beast the moment it approached.
The sound of piercing air resounded loudly!
A hint of surprise flashed in the six eyes of the centaur beast, and the azure light on its body shone brightly. The giant lightning spear in its hand was held horizontally in front of it, and countless lightning filaments ejected out, instantly transforming into a giant lightning net, blocking its front.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The yellow spikes continuously collided with the blue lightning net, creating a series of collisions and rumbles. Under the impact of this force, the centaur beast was forced back hundreds of feet.
But after this attack, the one-eyed giant could not help but open its mouth wide and spit out a mouthful of reddish-brown blood. The anger in its single eye grew even more.
It glanced warily at the golden-haired giant ape that Han Li had transformed into on the other side, and its enormous body twisted slightly, retreating a hundred feet to form a three-way standoff with the giant ape and the centaur beast.
At the hole in its abdomen, a swirling vortex of earth-yellow light slowly emerged. As it rotated leisurely, the flesh around the wound gradually changed from red to black, turning directly into rock, reflecting a faint light.
Not only that, but as the swirling vortex continued to rotate, the area of the rock at the wound grew larger and larger, like ice forming on a lake, quickly sealing off the hole completely.
Upon seeing this, Han Li's body flashed with golden light, and his figure suddenly shrank rapidly, transforming back into human form. With a flick of his wrist, a purple Taiyi Huaqing Talisman suddenly appeared between his fingers.
As a purple light lit up, his figure gradually blurred and then disappeared from the spot.
The one-eyed giant was slightly stunned by this scene.
When the centaur beast saw that Han Li had suddenly disappeared, its six eyes rolled around, revealing a hint of strangeness at the same time. But then its six eyes turned and looked at the one-eyed giant together, with a fierce light flashing.
