In the Giant World, countless giant corpses and remains were piled together, making it impossible to distinguish one from another.
Xiao Fei stood amidst the piles of bodies, gazing into the distance. As far as the eye could see, for thousands of miles, there were only corpses.
The blood flowing from the giant bodies had formed several large lakes.
"Dad..."
"Mom..."
"Where are you..."
A child frantically searched through the piles of corpses, but with so many remains, it was impossible to find his parents.
In the distance, a similar scene was unfolding.
Survivors desperately rummaged through the piles of bodies, searching for their loved ones.
Though the giants were relatively simple-minded, they possessed normal emotions, experiencing familial and friendly bonds, and feeling sorrow.
At this moment, neither Xiao Fei nor the other survivors felt any joy of victory.
While they had achieved ultimate victory, it was merely a pyrrhic one.
Eighty percent of the Giant World's inflated population had perished in this battle, leaving only the weak and young to survive.
All the physical bodies Xiao Fei had cultivated were severely damaged.
Ancestor Xiaoyue was reduced to a mere dog's head, and it was only thanks to Xiao Hei's intervention that he was saved.
Others, including Huang Feifei, Xiao Lanji Wudi, and Fei Xin, were all gravely injured.
Xiao Hei had not directly participated in the battle, but his act of rescuing Huang Feifei and others on the battlefield had already angered the other Earth Immortals.
He would likely face severe consequences from his master in the Immortal Realm.
A beating was almost certain, and it was even possible his master might decide to eat him.
As soon as the battle ended, Xiao Hei regretted his actions, blaming his impulsiveness.
Xiao Fei looked at the tragic aftermath of the battle. At this moment, any words of comfort he might offer to the orphaned survivors would seem hollow and insincere.
He had already secretly vowed that since the Giant World had sacrificed their lives to help him defeat a powerful enemy, he would treat their descendants with kindness, ensuring they had food and clothing.
Eight Earth Immortal corpses remained on the battlefield; the other two had been completely drained by Xiao Lan and were of little use.
Xiao Fei collected the eight Earth Immortal corpses, intending to deal with them later.
The injured individuals were recuperating in the cultivation sanctuary he had previously created within his spatial realm.
This sanctuary possessed the highest concentration of spiritual energy, making it the most suitable place for their recovery.
Even the two simple-minded giants, Han Yi and Han Er, had been placed there and were being treated with rare spiritual herbs to accelerate their healing.
Fei Yu, along with several injured giants, was leading the effort to burn the scattered giant corpses, as leaving them piled up was not a viable solution.
With only twenty percent of the Giant World's population remaining, there would no longer be concerns about insufficient farmland or food.
Just then, a massive rift suddenly appeared in the sky.
Two colossal hands emerged from the rift, reaching into this world and pulling at its edges, stretching it outwards.
It was as if some colossal entity was about to emerge from within the rift.
Xiao Fei looked up at the sky, and the familiar sense of impending danger resurfaced. Was this the true crisis?
As the rift in the void was widened by the giant hands, the entire Giant World began to tremble.
"Rumble..."
Earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions erupted across the world.
All manner of natural disasters occurred simultaneously, as if the end of the world had arrived.
At that moment, the rift in the void had widened considerably, and a dark head emerged from within.
This powerful being was covered in fine scales, and its pair of crimson eyes scanned the Giant World.
Xiao Fei stood atop a mountain, and as the head emerged, the peak he was on collapsed.
Before him, a giant child was inexplicably torn limb from limb, scattering across the ground.
This was merely the beginning. As far as Xiao Fei could see, trees, people, and rocks were suddenly shattering into numerous pieces.
At this moment, the entire Giant World was like a shattered mirror, broken into pieces and disintegrating.
"Quick, flee this place! A peerless expert is about to enter this world, and the world is going to be destroyed!"
Xiao Hei, who was a short distance away, shouted at Xiao Fei upon witnessing this scene.
Hearing this, Xiao Fei quickly pulled Fei Yu towards him and mounted his back.
"Follow Xiao Hei!"
Although Fei Yu didn't understand what was happening, he followed Xiao Hei without hesitation.
Xiao Hei seemed to have some understanding of the situation. As he ran, he deliberately sought out areas that had not yet begun to shatter.
"We'll go to the Heavenly Origin Realm through the passage first, and then we'll find a way to other worlds," Xiao Hei said as he ran swiftly.
"The strength of these peerless experts is too great; the lower realms cannot withstand it and will collapse and be destroyed."
Xiao Fei, riding on Fei Yu's back, followed Xiao Hei towards the cross-realm passage.
At this moment, the rift in the void widened further, and the dark entity had already protruded half of its body.
As it pushed half of its body into the Giant World, the world's collapse accelerated.
The world shattered like glass, and many giant children, who moments ago were crying out for their parents, instantly disintegrated into fragments.
Xiao Fei, seated on Fei Yu's back, watched this scene unfold before his eyes.
Just fifteen minutes prior, he had vowed in his heart that he would ensure these giant children would have a good life in the future, with food and clothing.
Now, they were collapsing and dying before him.
"Xiao Hei, you go on your own. I'm not running anymore!"
Xiao Fei called out to Xiao Hei, who was running at full speed ahead, then retracted Fei Yu into his spatial realm, stood his ground, and turned to face the black body emerging from the void.
He knew that all these calamities were directed at him, and the others were merely being implicated.
The Giant World had already lost eighty percent of its living beings for his sake; there was no need for the remaining orphans to be buried with him.
It was simply a matter of death!
"Hmph! You dark imbecile in the void!"
"What you want is in your grandfather's hands. Come and get it if you can!"
"If you can't, then get lost and hide back in your lair."
Xiao Fei held his White Bone Spear, its tip condensed with laws, and thrust it directly towards the pair of crimson eyes in the void.
The black figure that had just emerged from the void was enraged by his words!
In all his years, he had never encountered such an arrogant ant.
He extended a single finger and pointed it at Xiao Fei.
A single finger was sufficient to deal with an ant.
A finger as black as ink streaked through the air, creating numerous fine spatial cracks in the void.
Just as his finger and Xiao Fei's spear were about to make contact, Xiao Fei suddenly stopped his advance.
Xiao Fei hurled the White Bone Spear with all his might, and his body rapidly expanded.
"Boom!"
After a deafening explosion, flesh and blood splattered. Xiao Fei's body, in a self-detonation, turned into a pile of soulless碎肉 (suì ròu - minced meat/shattered flesh).
He had learned a great deal from Xiao Hei over the years.
He now knew that once he died and his soul left this world, it would be very difficult for the other party to find his Jade Slip.
Facing a powerhouse capable of destroying worlds with a single hand, he had never considered fighting to the death.
It was better to end himself while he had the chance.
"Roar!"
The black figure, seeing Xiao Fei commit suicide, felt mocked and let out a furious roar.
He extended his palm towards the spot where Xiao Fei had self-destructed, but he could not find Xiao Fei's soul.
No one had anticipated that Xiao Fei's soul had already merged with the Jade Slip of Creation.
"Boom!"
The black hand, unable to find the Jade Slip of Creation, slammed its palm heavily onto the ground.
The heavens and earth collapsed, the entire continent shattered into countless pieces, and countless more beings perished under this single blow.
