Boom!

As the armored giant’s heavy attack was about to hit, three identical Wang Chongs appeared behind Wang Chong.

The three Divine Embryos!

Wang Chong had summoned his three clones from the halo divine tool.

Bang!

“Ice-Sealed World!”

Wang Chong’s Divine Embryo 3 immediately took action, and azure light erupted from it. In a flash, a frigid and frightening cold energy erupted from its body and engulfed the world.

Crack! Crack! Crack! In less time than it took to blink, ice energy penetrated into the giant’s body and turned him into an ice sculpture. He was frozen in the air, a thick layer of ice forming atop his body.

Besides that, the surging wave of cold energy froze the ocean surface for hundreds of thousands of feet around the armored giant, turning this area into a world of ice.

Even Heaven had been affected by this technique, let alone the armored giant.

“Now is the moment!”

Wang Chong’s eyes coldly flashed as he seized this chance to make his counterattack.

Boomboomboom!

The three Divine Embryos instantly lunged forward, three arms pressing respectively onto the shoulders and head of the giant, after which three terrifying energies erupted from them.

Wang Chong had used all his strength in attack, both from his original body and from his clones.

Rumble! As Wang Chong and Li Xuantu watched, the nearly-nine-meter-tall armored giant went rigid, crashing down from the air and slamming into the ocean, sending chunks of ice and volumes of sea water flying several thousand meters into the air.

“Did it work?”

Wang Chong floated in the air, continuing to survey the situation.

One did not chase down a fleeing enemy. Wang Chong had emptied himself of Stellar Energy for this attack, and carelessly pursuing was not a wise decision.

Li Xuantu also carefully inspected the situation down below.

This armored giant was unbelievably strong. The two of them would not have been able to deal with him without the help of the three Divine Embryo clones.

Whoosh!

The ocean surface rippled, the floating chunks of ice crashing into each other. The depths remained dark, and it was impossible to see what was in them.

Splash! But a moment later, Wang Chong and Li Xuantu felt all of the energy in this dimension pulse, and then the energy filling this dimension began to be pulled toward the ocean floor.

With an enormous roar, the waters parted, and a familiar and enormous figure shot out, its killing intent filling the air. This armored giant had an absurd control over energy. After absorbing the dimension’s energy, the armored giant not only appeared uninjured, he appeared even more powerful than before.

“Too powerful!”

Li Xuantu was stunned by this sight. This armored giant was an unkillable monster. There would be no end to this fight, and they were deep in the Celestial Palace, where Heaven could arrive at any moment.

But Wang Chong remained calm and collected. While this giant was strong, Wang Chong was at least capable of suppressing him.

“Prepare to attack!”

With a thought from Wang Chong, Divine Embryo 3 flew out, azure energy once more erupting from its body. Wang Chong’s two other Divine Embryos also began to swell with energy. Just like before, he planned to seal the giant in ice and blast him into the depths of the ocean.

But this time, Wang Chong took out the Xuanyuan Sword and prepared to use the halo divine tool, intending to apply even greater force.

No matter how formidable this giant’s defense was, Wang Chong was sure that the Xuanyuan Sword could wound him.

“Master, wait!” Just when the battle was about to erupt again, Little Nightmare’s voice rang out in Wang Chong’s mind, its tone completely different from usual.

“I recognize him!”

Little Nightmare’s voice was extremely grave.

“!!!”

Wang Chong’s body froze, his mind shaken.

Little Nightmare knew this unkillable monster?

This was too unbelievable!

Wang Chong had already readied himself to fight a bitter battle, and he couldn’t help but be astonished by this news.

Though it sounded absurd, Wang Chong still listened to Little Nightmare and stayed his hand. But internally, Wang Chong was still ready to move into action if the situation turned sour.

Buzz!

In a flash of light, Little Nightmare emerged from Wang Chong’s body in its psychic form.

Boom! Just when the armored giant was about to attack Wang Chong again, Little Nightmare plunged into his mind.

“Li Mu, Li Mu, Li Mu... stop! Wake up!”

Using a secret of the Nightmare Beast species, Little Nightmare magnified its voice so that it could penetrate into the depths of the giant’s mind.

But the armored giant was deaf to Little Nightmare’s words and continued to lunge at Wang Chong.

Little Nightmare grew anxious.

“Li Mu, Li Mu, how did you become like this? Do you not recognize me? Did you forget about Little Grass?”

Boom!

The giant had no reaction at first, but the mention of Little Grass made his body tremble as if he had been struck by lightning, and his expression relaxed.

Wang Chong closely watched as the situation unfolded. When the giant had continued to charge, he had even been ready to do battle. But he couldn’t help but be surprised to see the giant suddenly stop moving.

“It worked?!”

This development had truly taken him by surprise.

In truth, Wang Chong had no idea what was going on.

On the other side, the giant’s crazed and violent face seemed to almost magically calm down.

“Little Grass... Are you talking about His Majesty? How do you know about His Majesty... You, you’re Little Nightmare? How could this be!?”

His lost rationality seemed to slowly return, and the armored giant grew more and more human. As his sense and reason replaced madness, his turbid eyes grew clear.

“Li Mu, Li Mu! You really are Li Mu! How did you become like this?” Little Nightmare said, its voice tinged with sorrow.

Wang Chong and Li Xuantu silently exchanged a glance.

This berserk giant recognized Little Nightmare!

Little Nightmare had been imprisoned beneath the earth for more than one thousand years. If this armored giant recognized it, did that not mean...

Wang Chong had a realization that shook his mind.

Meanwhile, the crazed giant grew increasingly rational.

“Little Nightmare, we were wrong, we were all wrong. His Majesty, His Majesty, he...”

The armored giant seemed to think of something that enraged him, and he once more bellowed, his expression turning berserk.

“Careful!”

Wang Chong and Li Xuantu grimaced.

There was clearly something off about the armored giant. Though Little Nightmare had managed to temporarily bring him to his senses, it appeared that he could fall back into insanity at any time.

But Little Nightmare seemed to not care, continuing to urgently shout at the giant as he fell back into insanity.

“Li Mu, Li Mu! What happened to Little Grass? What happened? Hurry! Talk!”

Little Nightmare constantly sent its Psychic Energy into the depths of Li Mu’s mind.

The armored giant’s eyes seemed to regain rationality after hearing Little Nightmare’s words, but they soon fell into turmoil once more. The man continued to shift between rationality and insanity.

In this state, he clearly could not answer Little Nightmare’s questions.

Wang Chong had been spectating this entire time, and after watching the giant shift struggle between rationality and insanity, he seemed to realize something and strode forward.

“Let me do it.”

Clang!

With a ring, Wang Chong pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword and thrust it down in the air in front of the giant.

I hope this works! Wang Chong said to himself.

From the conversation between Li Mu and Little Nightmare, he was sure that this Li Mu was one of Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan’s subordinates. If he could recognize Little Nightmare, then perhaps the Xuanyuan Sword could have the same effect. But Wang Chong wasn’t sure. After all, this giant had spent many years immersed in insanity. Whether or not he could regain his rationality would depend on his own resolve.

“Li Mu, take a good look. What is this?”

Wang Chong yelled, sending his Psychic Energy into Li Mu’s mind to project the image of the Xuanyuan Sword.

Struck by Wang Chong’s Psychic Energy, the giant trembled. Wang Chong stared at his eyes, not daring to be careless. If his guess was wrong and this method didn’t work, then they would have a hard battle ahead of them. The giant had displayed such strength that even if they won, they would have wasted so much Stellar Energy that they wouldn’t have the strength to fight any other battles.

All was still, and time seemed to slow to a crawl. After what seemed like an interminable second in which the giant’s eyes shifted between sense and madness...

Boom!

The armored giant’s eyes passed over the Xuanyuan Sword in Wang Chong’s hand, and that giant trembled and got down on his knees, bowing his head and prostrating to the sword.

“His Majesty! This is His Majesty’s personal sword!”

Aroooo!

The giant felt the Xuanyuan Sword with both hands and then let out a mournful howl. He dropped his head, large tears of grief beginning to flow.

This was an expression of immense pain and grief.

Wang Chong exchanged a glance with Li Xuantu, who had walked up from behind. They felt like they could predict what was going to happen, and their hearts were heavy for it.

“Little Nightmare, His Majesty, His Majesty, he was tricked!

“A trap! This was all a trap!”

The armored giant howled in grief as the tears continued to flow.

“A trap? What trap!?” Little Nightmare anxiously said, its mind in consternation.
