Don’t resist! The more you resist, the greater the force against you will be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another added, \"Yes, move with the whirlwind, and be constantly on guard against sneak attacks to ensure your own safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A third chimed in, \"Such a powerful hurricane—that enemy elemental life form definitely can’t sustain it for long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fourth declared, \"When the hurricane stops, it will be their death knell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well said! We’ll kill them all then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And indeed, events unfolded much as those enemy Legendary-level powerhouses had predicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Gustalon, newly ascended to the Legendary level, to be able to manipulate the wind element to create such a massive hurricane and trap over a dozen Legendary-level powerhouses within it was an incredible feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an exploit also placed an immense drain on Gustalon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gustalon, by his own power, had managed to stall the enemy’s advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they could hold out until Orion and Leonidas returned, or until reinforcements arrived, this war of attrition could continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the hurricane, Vexis, while maintaining the summoning formation, observed the maelstrom. \"This elemental life form has great potential!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Aarakocra puppet had also been swept into the hurricane when Rumbold’s death ripple had been broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the only ones protecting her and Lorelia were the few Alpha-level undead and spider guards in their immediate vicinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this, the enemy’s command seemed to have spotted a tactical opportunity. Large numbers of Alpha-level powerhouses forcibly broke through the front lines and surged towards the area where Vexis and Lorelia were located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this assault was quickly detected by Fergus, Thundar, and Onyx. They rushed over to join the battle, intercepting the enemy midway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fierce combat erupted once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was war; upon meeting, life and death were decided in an instant. Sparks and sonic booms continuously exploded, blurring the battlefield and obscuring the outlines of the warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High in the sky, the barrier veiling the heavens remained, still as undisturbed water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion and Kian, like two peerless gods, were locked in a standoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion’s physique was strong and tall, exuding an aura of savagery and brutality, fierce and awe-inspiringly majestic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arch Lord Kian, in contrast, held his lance, his eyes fierce and gloomy, like an evil ghost, staring intently at Orion, as if wishing to swallow him whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion’s voice was as cold as before, the arrogance in his eyes strikingly evident. \"I said, among the Arch Lords I’ve slain, you don’t rank!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the fierce exchange just moments ago, Orion had held the upper hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arch Lord Kian had been repelled by Orion twice. Although no grievous harm had been inflicted upon him, it was nonetheless a trampling of Kian’s dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sin-laden giant race, I will make you die!\" Kian snarled. Though his words were venomous, his face and eyes betrayed no overt sign of anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having advanced to become an Arch Lord, Kian had lived for many years and experienced countless wars and battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paid Orion’s goading no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, after assessing Orion’s strength, Kian’s expression became even more resolute, his eyes flashing with a deep, cold light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Kian strode forward a step, his lance a blur as he feigned an attack, revealing an apparent opening under Orion’s surprised gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Orion launched an attack targeting this opening, Kian remained chillingly calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thrust his lance forward, opting for an \"injury for injury\" tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lance and trident crossed. With two sharp impacts, Orion and Kian both struck each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This instantaneous change left Orion no time to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion was currently in his Titan Form; his self-healing ability was extremely potent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on this, Orion had chosen to clash directly with Kian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, things were not as simple as Orion had thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Kian really just want to trade injuries?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arch Lord Kian’s body blurred, and a powerful rebound force erupted, throwing Orion back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kian, now some distance away, raised his lance, its tip stained with Orion’s blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you really think this was all my strength?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What wonderful blood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sinister smile, indicating a successful ploy, spread across Kian’s face. He licked the drop of Orion’s blood from the tip of his lance, swallowing it entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kian began to chant: \"Dragon’s Ghost slumbering in endless darkness, heed my call! With this blood as a medium, I offer your beloved sacrifice! Please descend, Ghost Dragon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awooo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dragon’s roar sounded from within Kian’s abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Kian’s body surged with energy, so dense that it dyed his surroundings pitch black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his opponent, how could Orion allow such a bizarre transformation to occur right before his eyes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Orion hurled his immensely powerful trident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transcendent power and demonic aura collided, but the former was quickly annihilated within the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Orion was about to throw his trident again, a series of dragon roars rose one after another, and a Ghost Dragon darted out from Kian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be more precise, it was an avatar of a Ghost Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Orion watched the Ghost Dragon, his brow twitching violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Dragon before him was completely different from Leonidas’s fire dragon avatar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Dragon’s form was more akin to an Eastern dragon from Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because it was an avatar, the Ghost Dragon’s entire figure appeared incomplete and blurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sin-laden giant, your time of death has arrived!\" Kian proclaimed with an evil smile, charging towards Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before that, the Ghost Dragon had already launched an attack on Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Dragon merely let out a roar, and Orion felt an illusion of being imprisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, it was merely an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Kian, after his evil smile, had eight more indistinct creatures erupt from his abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those creatures were filled with an evil aura, but they did not attack Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eight demon creatures took up positions in eight directions, completely surrounding Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a pitch-black barrier appeared, trapping both Kian and Orion within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kian cackled, \"In this barrier, with the Ghost Dragon assisting me, let’s see how you escape with your life! Hahaha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Orion was preparing to sacrifice his legendary equipment, the [Titan Emblem], to gain even greater power, the Ghost Dragon also struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Dragon opened its massive jaws and bit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion was not injured; the Ghost Dragon also came to a halt directly in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Orion found himself completely immobilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion’s body, his spirit, even his very soul—all were imprisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>",1202,"2026-05-29T15:49:30.653Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","f409aed02e0aad50d52f6a02aed5091f118e757114f8b06fe6396950ff2333e7","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-741","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-739",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
