Chapter 1229 A Monster In The Flesh

As the Barbarian King used his technique, Wang Wei was able to notice the changes in his body, allowing him to know why he was such an anomaly and solve a mystery that puzzled him. From what Wang Wei knew, the Giant Race had been extinct for a long time; they existed in a time that could be described as ancient history even by this world's standards.

The current Giant Race is the product of evolved Creation Lifeforms and has nothing to do with its ancestors. So, how did the Barbarian King acquire his bloodline? He could have found a relic or inheritance of the Ancient Giant Race and acquired the bloodline. However, the chances of anything related to them still surviving in the modern era were slim.

The only other explanation is that one of the Barbarian King's distant ancestors had some affairs with the Giant Race, and the Barbarian King accidentally won the bloodline lottery, awakening that Giant bloodline countless Yuan Epochs later.

Such an act already made the Barbarian King special. The Barbarian Race was known for its powerful physiques and talent for body refining, and now, he also had the talent from the Giant Race, who could grow taller and bigger than the Innate Demon Gods and the Fiendgods. However, what truly impressed Wang Wei was what he did with that bloodline.

The Barbarian King's body-refining technique involved using his bloodline to condense a giant clone. He would cultivate that clone to be as big or strong as possible before fusing them into himself; this technique was like an origin cultivator had cultivated hundreds of Dharma Bodies to fuse with.

Wang Wei could tell that the Barbarian King's skin, muscles, flesh, bones, organs, and blood were fused with hundreds of giant clones, turning his physique into the monstrous entity that it is currently.

'One giant already takes so many resources to cultivate, but he fused with hundreds of them,' Wang Wei lamented. 'The Barbarian Race must have dedicated so much effort to train this bastard, but why was he living in this desolate place?' As soon as he asked his questions, Wang Wei had an answer, so he could only shake his head.

The Barbarian King awakened the will of all the giant clones he had previously absorbed, fusing them into one before combining them into his True Will. The lightning around his eyes was no longer red but purple.

"Now, I'm at my best," the Barbarian King declared.

"Indeed. In that case, let's get this show started." Wang Wei used his [Fate Escape] technique to appear before his opponent and punched him in the stomach. The Barbarian King responded by blocking with his left elbow. This attack was an initial test, so Wang Wei used the previous condensing technique.

As expected, the Barbarian King learned from the previous battle and drastically improved, but he was still not in the same league as Wang Wei. However, he did not need to. His [Muscle Will] made up for the parts he was lacking, allowing him to make up for the gap.

The Barbarian King created three projections/clones with the same strength as him. He decided to use numbers to give himself the advantage in this battle, so he ordered the projections to attack as he waited on the side to assist or make use of an opportunity. The clones immediately surrounded Wang Wei before attacking his head, all their first turning into a lion energy projection.

Boom!

The attack seems to have worked. Upon contact, Wang Wei exploded into a gray mist, but before anyone could rejoice, the mist enveloped the clones. The mist dissipated soon after, leaving an intact Wang Wei and the clones with a mark on their forehead. They then looked at their creators with undisguised malice.

Of course, the Barbarian King tried to secretly disperse his technique, but it was useless.

[Ancestral Roar]

He opened his mouth for a sonic attack with a wide area of effect. Two phantoms—a barbarian and a Giant—manifested behind the Barbarian King and roared along with him. This sonic attack not only released a potent vibrational effect but also contained an oppressive power that wanted to crush everything in its path. It also includes a third characteristic: attacking the mind/spirit/soul.

Wang Wei controlled the three clones to stand before him and combined their strength for one attack, which created a direct path into this terrifying roar. He then manipulated his blood to condense into a spear and threw it through that path.

The Barbarian King's face changed as he sensed an unbelievable penetrating power from that spear. Even the True Will attached to it involved a skill based on penetration. His mind went into overdrive to analyze the situation, and he realized that most of his defensive skills would be instantly pierced.

So, he controlled his body to dissipate his skin, muscles, flesh, blood, and organs, leaving only his bones — which were the hardest part. He raised his bony arms to block the blood spear. For a brief moment, the Barbarian King stopped the attack, proving he made the right choice. Sadly, his opponent was thinking a few moves ahead of him.

The blood spear suddenly exploded into blood needles with the same piercing potential, embedding themselves in all his 365 bones. The Barbarian King's face changed as he realized the severity of his situation. The needles contained scattered True Will, so he immediately tried to remove them. Unfortunately, there were so many of them that it would take him way too long to deal with every individual one.

The king turned his attention to Wang Wei, who was already before him. As he was about to respond, the blood needles and True Will exploded, temporarily paralyzing him. Then, Wang Wei calmly touched his bones and sealed his power.

"You lose," he declared.
