The martial world is full of dangers.

Chapter 577 Drawing the Bow and Shooting the Arrow

Looking at the desperate charge towards Wu Tao, Yu Tiansheng and Di Ti, one human and one crow, Wu Xingtian couldn't help but frown, his face showing anger.

Just as he was about to act, to swat these two ants to death, Wu Xingtian suddenly felt something. The hand he had raised was slowly lowered.

...

Wu Xingtian stood in place, looking at Wu Tao with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

...

On the other side.

"Die for me!!!"

In front of Wu Tao, seeing his figure, Yu Tiansheng and Di Ti had ferocious expressions, with deep hatred in their eyes.

"Kid, if you want to hate, hate that the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow has recognized you as its master!!"

As soon as the words fell, Yu Tiansheng and Di Ti, one human and one crow, attacked together, not only using several top-tier magic treasures but also unleashing over a dozen great divine abilities.

At this moment, Wu Tao seemed to sense something and took a step back.

...

At this moment, Wu Tao's expression was calm, his eyes held a hint of confusion, as if he hadn't realized what had happened.

However, seeing his demeanor, Yu Tiansheng and Di Ti, one human and one crow, felt something was amiss. But with the arrow already nocked, they had no choice but to press on.

Therefore, the two could only desperately unleash their full power, vowing to tear the man before them to shreds!

...

Here, a heaven-shattering divine light diffused from his body.

Under the astonished gazes of countless people, Wu Tao nocked the bow, drew the string, turned, and shot.

When Wu Tao actually pulled the string of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, he discovered that it was no lighter than a mountain range.

While drawing the string, Wu Tao exerted all his strength, barely managing to pull it to the string's end.

A transparent arrow immediately materialized from the string of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged towards the arrow like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

As Wu Tao drew his bow and nocked the arrow, preparing to shoot, a large-scale spiritual energy convergence storm instantly formed.

This was especially true when Wu Tao infused the power of time within his body into the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.

The arrow, enveloped by the power of time, became even more potent. At this moment, Wu Tao was at his strongest.

If this arrow were truly loosed, Wu Tao had no doubt that he could kill the two frenzied figures before him with a single shot.

Even a true powerhouse who had mastered the power of laws would have to retreat three paces in the face of the divine might of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow!

The string was released, and the divine arrow shot forth.

The seven destructive powers of Zhu, Sha, Jue, Ji, Shi, Mie, and Lu, were all integrated into the divine arrow. With the boost of the power of time, it unleashed a power that could truly annihilate everything.

Where the divine arrow struck, a massive black hole was instantly formed, engulfing Yu Tiansheng and Di Ti, the man and the crow, in an instant.

...

Just as Wu Tao was sensing the power of that shot, a giant suddenly appeared beside him.

Gazing into the giant's calm eyes and feeling its aura, a chill ran down Wu Tao's spine.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm."

As if sensing Wu Tao's caution and unease, Wu Xingtian stood beside him and said.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Wu Xingtian. You can also call me Ancestral Witch!"

Through Wu Yi's memories, Wu Tao naturally knew who this being was.

It was precisely because of this that Wu Tao felt so uneasy.

If it were just an ordinary cultivator at the Purple Mansion realm, with Wu Tao's current strength and the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, he could still contend for a while.

However, facing an ancient relic like Wu Xingtian, who had survived from the primordial era, Wu Tao couldn't possibly believe he was his match.

Even so, Wu Tao would not surrender without a fight.

Of course, the reason Wu Tao had come to the Giant King in the first place was to subdue the Giant race for his own use. Therefore, unless it was an extremely critical situation, he would not make a move.

The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow was no ordinary item; it was a top-tier spiritual treasure, and for the entire Giant race, it represented a heritage and a glory.

Given Wu Tao's size and appearance, he was clearly not a giant of the Giant race. Therefore, the Giant race had only two choices before them.

One was to treat Wu Tao as one of their own, as the hero who inherited the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.

The other was to kill Wu Tao and reclaim the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.

However, looking at the adoring gazes of the surrounding giants, Wu Tao felt that the first option was more likely, and that the Giant race would adopt a gentle approach towards him.

Looking at Wu Tao holding the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and sensing the aura emanating from him, Wu Xingtian sighed slightly, his face showing a nostalgic expression, as if recalling some precious past.

"Now, you should introduce yourself, shouldn't you?"

Wu Xingtian asked gently.

...

"My name is Wu Tao. Hello, Guardian of the Giant race."

After a moment of hesitation, Wu Tao spoke.

...

"Completely transform the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow. Although with your current poetic understanding, you cannot fully unleash its true power, at least it will give you some self-preservation ability."

"When that time comes, we can discuss other matters."

Wu Xingtian said with a smile.

Hearing Xing Tian's words, Wu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and his tensed body relaxed slightly.

Sensing the pure blood essence of the Giant Ancestor within Wu Tao's body, the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow began to tremble. The imprint of the Great Dao upon it caused the blood within Wu Tao's body to boil.

With little resistance, Wu Tao easily left his mark on the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, truly becoming its owner.

An immensely vast power was transmitted from the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow to Wu Tao.

Almost instantly, the spiritual power that Wu Tao had consumed in drawing the bow was almost entirely returned to him, and even increased.

The blood essence of the Giant Ancestor, which had been dormant within Wu Tao's body, now became exceptionally active.

The immensely powerful bloodline pressure caused the surrounding giants discomfort.

"It doesn't greatly enhance one's spiritual power or cultivation realm, but it is indeed very effective in transforming the bloodline."

Clutching the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow in his hand and sensing the many changes occurring within his body, Wu Tao mused to himself.

"It seems this Sun-Shooting Divine Bow has indeed chosen you as its third master."

Looking at Wu Tao's series of transformations, Xing Tian's expression immediately became solemn.

"Since you have gained the recognition of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, you are now a member of my Giant race. After my death, you can inherit my position..."

"Of course, you can also choose to leave now, but you cannot take the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow with you..."

"What is your choice? Tell me?"

...

"I agree."

Wu Tao agreed without any hesitation.

"Follow me."

After giving Wu Tao a deep look, Wu Xingtian spoke.

Then, he traversed a thousand miles in a single step and quickly disappeared from sight!

Watching Wu Xingtian's receding figure, Wu Tao transformed into a beam of light and followed closely behind.

They traveled for nearly half an hour, stopping and starting, winding and turning, until they finally arrived before an altar.

The altar was "not very large," only ten thousand zhang in size.

Wu Xingtian had to shrink his body tens of thousands of times to enter.

Pushing open the gate of the altar and entering, they found a statue within.

The statue was about a hundred zhang tall, holding a giant axe, and carrying a stone bow at its waist!

...

"Standing before you now is the statue of the Giant Ancestor."

Wu Xingtian's voice echoed.

Hearing Wu Xingtian's words, Wu Tao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he carefully observed the inconspicuous statue.

The stone bow on the waist of the statue at this altar indeed looked very similar to the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow in his hand.

"Since ancient times, the Giant race has had the tradition of Kings and Guardians, who jointly protect the race."

"The Royal Family is responsible for the specific affairs of the Giant race, while the Guardians are responsible for protecting the Giant race."

"Although you are not a pure giant, you still possess pure blood essence, which is no less than that of an ordinary royal."

"And you have gained the recognition of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, coupled with your strength, which is indeed not weak. You are the most suitable person to be a Guardian after me..."

Wu Xingtian spoke, his eyes fixed on Wu Tao.

...

Wu Xingtian's expression appeared very calm. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I understand. Rest assured!"

Wu Tao nodded slightly. On the surface, there was no abnormality; he appeared as calm as still water.

In reality, deep down, Wu Tao was ecstatic upon hearing these words.

This was truly a case of searching high and low for something only to find it unexpectedly, like a pillow arriving when one is sleepy, or a cup of water when one is thirsty. It was, in a word, perfect.

...

"Very good."

Wu Xingtian nodded in satisfaction.

Next, Wu Tao began to tell Wu Xingtian his true identity and that he was the leader of a faction.

There was no choice; these things could not be hidden forever.

The sooner he revealed them, the more sincerity he could show.

...

"So that's how it is. Regardless, I am still very gratified, and perhaps this is a good thing."

After a moment of silence, Wu Xingtian's face broke into a smile again.

He continued, "How about this: in a week, I will hold a banquet for you and formally announce this news in front of the royal family members."

"You can make some preparations in advance."

...

As Wu Xingtian's voice faded, a power of temporal inversion enveloped Wu Tao.

Wu Tao looked at Wu Ming standing beside him and shook his head, muttering to himself, "Outsiders are still outsiders. This old man still doesn't truly trust me; he's clearly hiding something."

However, putting himself in Wu Xingtian's shoes, Wu Tao understood.

If he were in Wu Xingtian's position, he might have done even more excessive things.

After all, wanting to reap benefits without working, and without taking responsibility, how could that be possible?

Was there such a good thing in the world?
