The Human Giant

Chapter 268 268: Fireball

The moment the small portion of shadow armor shards, which numbered in the hundreds, separated from the rest of the swarm, they flew around him. Instead, they flew around Yoze to move past him and directly flew towards his blood whip.

At the same time, the thousands of shadow armor shards above Yoze slowly descended with him. Making sure they kept a decent space between them to prevent any possibility that he could re-ascend. Noticing this, Yoze recognized that after his performance of using his heavy inner vigor to indirectly cause shadow armor shards to fall, Geo didn't want to take a chance of giving him another similar opportunity.

Making sure to keep a safe distance away from him so that the shadow armor shards couldn't be influenced. What impressed Yoze was that even though he only had shown that move once, Geo could calculate the limit of how far his Big Golem body cultivation method could influence his surroundings perfectly.

Making it impossible for him to do the same trick again and allowing the shadow armor shards to reach his blood whip quickly. Knowing that his blood whip would never be able to get close enough to Geo, Yoze didn't panic and continued with his plan.

Just as the small swarm of shadow armor shards reached his blood whip and we were about to absorb it, Yoze reabsorbed all his inner vigor and allowed the blood whip to lose its form. At the same time, he created a long pole that was dozens of feet long and slammed it into the Shadow Swamp.

Even though Yoze knew the blood pole would be absorbed into the Shadow Swamp, he wanted to test how much time he had before it was completely devoured. As he watched intensely at his blood pole being absorbed by Geo's Shadow Swamp, he could sense that he lost his connection with the blood that was absorbed.

At the same time, he saw that his blood pole was being quickly absorbed by around ten feet per second which was enough time for Yoze to commence with the second part of his attack plan. 

"Slurp!"

The moment the shadow armor shards completely absorbed Yoze's blood whip and they turned their focus back on him, he created another blood pole much longer than the first version. As soon as the second blood pole touched Geo's Shadow Swamp, the absorption process began.

In less than a second, the length of the second blood pole shrank by five feet while the first blood pole was completely absorbed. But Yoze remained composed and used the remaining blood pole as a platform to launch himself directly at Geo's motionless body.

"Boom!"

Taking a small deep breath, Yoze bent his knees and used his full strength to throw himself past the small portion of shadow armor shards. At the same time, creating another blood pole in front of him and using it as another platform to quickly change his direction just as the rest of the shadow armor shards chased after him.

Creating one blood pole after another, Yoze escaped the rapid pursuit of the shadow armor shards while quickly narrowing the distance between him and Geo. Once he was only ten feet away from Geo's body, he slammed his feet against the last blood pole he had created and sent himself flying at Geo's body which was almost completely absorbed into his Shadow Swamp.

With thousands of shadow armor shards chasing after him and thousands more flying directly at his head, Yoze stretched out his arm and opened his hand before quickly muttering to himself. Before Yoze finished his chant, Geo's eyes which were glassy and cloudy, shook with surprise as he saw that a small orange and red ball of fire appeared in Yoze's hand.

The fireball quickly grew to fill Yoze's hand and let out an extraordinary amount of heat. Just the mere heat slamming against his skin informed Geo that the amount of power within that one fireball was enough to burn dozens of Blood Masters into ash.

He could only hope that he could absorb the remaining upper half of his head before Yoze could completely form the fireball and launch it at him. Unfortunately for Geo, Yoze never planned on firing this fireball and immediately detonated it the moment he completed the spell.

"Fireball!"

"Boom!"

The instant Yoze shouted out the name of his spell, the hand-sized fireball exploded into a giant ball of fire that engulfed both Yoze and the remaining portions of Geo's body. The deafening sound of the explosion rocked the nearby trees as the audience of immortal cultivators were forced to activate their protection spells to deal with the heat. 

After activating their protection spells, the immortal cultivators turned their attention back to the obsidian platform and looked at the explosion with curiosity. They quickly looked for signs of Yoze and Geo to see how this fight would progress.

"In the sky!"

Eventually, one of the immortal cultivators noticed hundreds of feet in the sky was a small blood-red speck. After confirming that the blood-red speck was Yoze, who had been thrown into the sky by his own explosion, he immediately shouted to inform the rest of the audience.

"That was unexpectedly powerful. If I had used that attack on myself before I became a Blood Master, I would have been seriously injured if not killed outright." As Yoze enjoyed flying in the air, he felt a shiver crawl up his spine as he realized that before he arrived here, he had never seen the full capabilities of a rogue immortal cultivator.

Whenever he had previously dealt with rogue immortal cultivators, he never gave them a chance to fight back and quickly killed them. Even when his home was ambushed by several Crystal Skull realm rogue immortal cultivators, he simply used his spiritual energy to kill them all.

However, it was only after he had seen what was possible after he used all his crystal energy on that fireball that he realized that if he had allowed those rogue immortal cultivators a chance to fight, he might have lost. Just a simple full-powered fireball from a peak Nerve Accumulation realm immortal cultivator was strong enough to turn dozens of Blood Master realm experts into dust.

If those rogue immortal cultivators who were several realms higher did the same trick with their own spells, there was no chance that he could have survived that battle.
