"The third master of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, have you finally appeared? ... I have waited for you for who knows how many years..."
The phantom of the black-haired, black-eyed youth spoke, his voice filled with an endless sigh and desolation.
"The third master of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow?"
Wu Tao's heart stirred upon hearing this.
He suddenly thought of a crucial question: was the anomaly of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and the appearance of this youth all due to the Giant Ancestor's blood essence within his body?
The next scene validated Wu Tao's guess.
"I sense a faint aura of the Giant Ancestor on you, and you are the third master of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow..."
"It's a pity... you are not of pure Giant blood, and cannot fully unleash the power of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow!"
The young phantom, conjured with the power of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, traversed time and space to speak to Wu Tao.
"Forget it, forget it. The past is like wind and dust, all things have passed."
"Let posterity handle future matters. What concern is it of a dead man like me..."
A voice that reverberated throughout the heavens and earth, like thunder, boomed, echoing in the capital of the Giants.
Wu Yi, his eyes that seemed capable of piercing anything, fixed on Wu Tao and said, "The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow is a top-tier spirit treasure, its characteristic is to destroy everything. Anything that exists in this world, whether tangible or intangible, cannot escape the destruction of the arrow shot by the divine bow!"
"I vaguely recall that I once relied on the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow to shoot down nine Three-legged Golden Crows that had comprehended the power of laws..."
Before Wu Yi could finish speaking, Wu Tao gasped.
He had to admit that what Wu Yi said was truly awe-inspiring. Those Three-legged Golden Crows were equivalent to nine cultivators of the Purple Mansion realm, yet they died so easily, as if he were slaughtering chickens...
As for whether Wu Yi was lying, Wu Tao could see everything that had happened in the late ancient era in his eyes.
In the late ancient era, the Giant Clan and the Celestial Clan were purged by the Human race, who were then the overlords of heaven and earth. Under the pursuit of numerous humans, they were forced to flee to Yunzhou.
However, they did not expect that the overlords of Yunzhou, the Three-legged Golden Crow Clan, also harbored malicious intentions towards the Giant Clan and the Celestial Clan.
They coveted the clan-protecting treasures of the two races, such as spirit treasures and other divine artifacts. The Three-legged Golden Crow Clan launched a surprise attack while the Giant Clan and the Celestial Clan had yet to establish themselves.
At that time, the Giant Clan had three remaining members: Wu Xing Tian, Wu Yi, and Wu Ku Fu.
And the Celestial Clan had five Celestial Kings, each equivalent to the Purple Mansion realm.
The Giant Clan and the Celestial Clan, with a combined total of eight powerhouses equivalent to the Purple Mansion realm, appeared to be quite formidable.
However, the Three-legged Golden Crow Clan was at its peak, with twelve Golden Crow Kings, each equivalent to the Purple Mansion realm.
The brutality of that war was unimaginable.
In that world-shaking battle, Three-legged Golden Crows comparable to the Core Formation realm were mere soldiers, those comparable to the Nascent Soul realm were mere generals, and the twelve Golden Crow Kings were the commanders of armies.
Hundreds of billions, an endless expanse, Three-legged Golden Crows surrounded by true solar fire, launched an attack on the Giant Clan and the Celestial Clan.
At that time, the twelve Golden Crow Kings stood in the sky, forming twelve suns, pushing the extreme yang energy to its zenith, churning the winds and clouds of the sun and moon. The temperature of the entire Yunzhou rose by tens of degrees.
At that moment, the light and flames released by the twelve Golden Crow Kings were more ferocious than the sun, and their flapping wings made even the real sun appear inferior.
Scorching true solar fire was continuously released from their bodies, as if twelve suns had appeared simultaneously. Time, space, and even the fundamental laws that sustained the world were distorted.
Furthermore, each Three-legged Golden Crow, flying in the sky, was ferocious and aggressive. The combined auras of hundreds of thousands of Three-legged Golden Crows released flames hundreds of times more powerful than the sun.
Orbs of true solar fire appeared out of nowhere from all directions of Yunzhou, endless and inexhaustible.
Wu Ku Fu, like an ancient giant god, held the high-grade spirit treasure Peach Blossom Staff, his beast-skin armor flowing, facing the enemies charging at them from the sky with a solemn expression.
Wu Xing Tian, holding the high-grade spirit treasures War Gongs and Shields and Heaven-Opening Axe, stood at the most dangerous front, his eyes wide, his potent fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.
Behind them was the dense army of the Giant Clan.
And Wu Yi, the trump card, hid in the shadows, ready to shoot down the Three-legged Golden Crows swooping from the sky at any moment.
On the other side.
Was the army of the Celestial Clan, led by five Celestial Kings.
Light hundreds of times more intense than the sun shone upon the Giant Clan and the Celestial Clan, instantly causing a large number of giants and celestials to die.
However, for the continuation and survival of their race, no matter how many clan members fell before them, the Giants and Celestials had no intention of retreating, and continued to attack the Three-legged Golden Crows.
...
Under the leadership of Wu Xing Tian, Wu Ku Fu, and the five Celestial Kings, countless giants and celestials fought to the death without fear of sacrifice.
Just as the Giant Clan and the Celestial Clan were at a disadvantage, a figure that supported the heavens appeared before everyone's eyes.
This was a giant who appeared very young.
He had flowing black hair and an extremely handsome face.
Most special were his eyes, which were like an abyss; one glance and one would be drawn in.
...
Under the astonished gazes of everyone on the battlefield, Wu Yi drew his bow with his left hand, nocked an arrow with his right, pulled the string, and released the arrow!
At this moment, the brilliant power of laws madly condensed onto Wu Yi's Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.
Infinite power flowed, giving people a sense of world-destroying might.
And the direction the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow was aimed at was clearly the twelve Golden Crow Kings.
Wu Yi's expression was solemn and reverent. The arrow of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow flowed with laws related to the Great Dao of Strength, a power capable of destroying everything.
"Hit!"
A thunderous roar came from Wu Yi's mouth, his power like the heavens. At this moment, Wu Yi displayed his aspect as the world's strongest archer.
A crystalline arrow shot into one of the twelve Golden Crow Kings.
With a mournful cry, a king among the Three-legged Golden Crows, equivalent to a Purple Mansion realm cultivator, perished.
The king of the Three-legged Golden Crows, miles in size, like the sun, plummeted towards the ground of Yunzhou, completely losing its life.
This terrifying scene caused the battle, which was raging fiercely, to come to a halt.
Everyone's mouths hung open, staring at the scene in astonishment.
Although these events happened in the blink of an eye, they delivered a shock comparable to infinity.
The flowing black hair, the proud posture of drawing the bow and nocking the arrow, and those exceptionally special eyes were unforgettable for anyone who had participated in this war.
Witnessing the formidable Wu Yi, the remaining eleven Golden Crow Kings, while grieving for their fallen comrade, felt a sense of dread.
If this fellow holding the divine bow were to shoot them, would they be finished?
Upon thinking of this, the remaining eleven Golden Crow Kings, their hearts chilled, did not hesitate. They led the army of the Golden Crow Clan and desperately charged towards Wu Yi.
Wu Xing Tian and Wu Ku Fu, the two Ancestral Witches, seeing this, did not hesitate to block in front of Wu Yi, buying time for Wu Yi to shoot down these Golden Crow Kings.
On the other side.
The five Celestial Kings, seeing that the tide of battle had turned, began to have ulterior motives.
At this moment, the five Celestial Kings directly betrayed their allies.
The five of them exerted little effort and had no intention of helping Wu Yi resist the now almost frenzied Three-legged Golden Crows.
Following their example, many members of the Celestial Clan also handed over the main battlefield to the Giants and quietly retreated.
On the other side.
For the future of the entire Giant Clan, Wu Yi had to desperately burn his vital essence.
By burning his vital essence, Wu Yi could unrestrictedly draw the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and unleash its power to the limit.
Each time he drew and shot the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, it was a feat that would be recorded in history, a scene that left everyone dumbfounded.
For with each arrow shot, a king among the Three-legged Golden Crows perished.
As the bowstring sang, the sun fell.
The radiance of the Three-legged Golden Crow Kings was absolutely more dazzling than the sun...
If Wu Yi had not been willing to sacrifice his lifespan and burn his vital essence, even a powerful individual like Wu Yi would have found it impossible to kill a Three-legged Golden Crow King of equivalent realm with a single arrow using the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.
Only by burning his vital essence and elevating the power of laws beneath the Great Dao of Strength to near the level of the Great Dao could he kill a Three-legged Golden Crow King with a single arrow.
...
No matter how the true solar fire burned, and no matter how dazzling the Three-legged Golden Crows were, they could not resist the brilliance emanating from Wu Yi at this moment.
At this point, everyone's heart suddenly had a thought: even this world itself would be destroyed by this arrow!
"Hit!"
Wu Yi repeated the simple phrase from before. His plain beast-skin robe fluttered, and his long hair obscured his face, but it could not hide the brightest eyes in the world.
An arrow to extinguish all, this was Wu Yi's Great Dao!
With an arrow shot, heaven and earth would be destroyed, the sun, moon, and stars would fall, and no divine abilities or spells would be of any use.
If the god of the arrow decreed you to die, you could not live.
