# Chapter 33 — The Kneeling Giant
# Sun City — Inner Defensive Zone
Nobody moved.
Nobody breathed.
The giant chained entity—
the sa creature that shattered the eastern defenses and nearly destroyed Sun City—
remained kneeling before Xu Yuan.
Its countless crimson eyes trembled violently while ancient chains rattled across its massive body continuously.
And every cultivator present felt the sa terrifying thought rising within their minds.
Why?
---
Cold wind swept through the ruined district silently.
Broken formation towers burned nearby while crimson mist drifted across shattered streets like blood-colored smoke.
Yet despite the battlefield surrounding them—
absolute silence dominated everything.
---
Xu Yuan himself stared upward blankly.
Because deep inside his chest—
sothing responded naturally to the kneeling creature.
Not fear.
Not shock.
Authority.
---
The black symbols on his arms continued glowing faintly beneath his sleeves while the massive shadow behind him slowly faded from existence.
Fortunately.
Because if it remained longer—
the entire city might truly collapse ntally.
---
Nearby cultivators finally began reacting.
One younger disciple whispered shakily:
“That thing… bowed…”
Another answered pale-faced:
“…To him.”
---
Fear slowly spread again.
Not toward the corrupted creatures.
Toward Xu Yuan.
---
Lin Hao quietly rubbed his forehead beside collapsed ruins.
“I miss when you were only suspicious.”
Xu Yuan calmly answered:
“I also preferred simpler problems.”
“That giant monster kneeling before you is NOT simple.”
---
Even now—
their conversation sohow sounded normal.
Which honestly felt stranger than the battlefield itself.
---
Beside Xu Yuan—
Xia Yu quietly stepped closer naturally.
Not because she feared the giant entity.
Because she sensed the growing fear around Xu Yuan.
And silently chose his side without hesitation.
---
That small movent—
many cultivators noticed.
---
One elder from a nearby sect frowned deeply.
“Miss Xia… stay away from him.”
The atmosphere instantly changed.
---
Several cultivators unconsciously agreed internally.
Because no matter how much Xu Yuan helped earlier—
what they witnessed now felt terrifying.
Abnormal.
Unknown.
---
Xu Yuan’s expression remained calm outwardly.
But inwardly—
his thoughts darkened slightly.
He expected suspicion eventually.
Still—
he disliked it.
---
Then suddenly—
the kneeling giant entity spoke again.
Its ancient voice echoed across the battlefield like collapsing mountains.
> “Forgive… this servant…”
---
BOOOOOOM!
The entire city shook again.
---
Servant.
That single word nearly shattered everyone’s remaining composure.
---
Several cultivators instinctively stepped backward from Xu Yuan.
Others gripped weapons nervously.
Even so Xu Family disciples looked uncertain now.
---
Xu Yuan himself froze slightly.
Because the mont the creature spoke—
another mory fragnt surfaced within his mind.
---
An endless black palace.
Countless kneeling figures.
And a calm voice saying:
> “Rise.”
---
The mory vanished instantly afterward.
But Xu Yuan’s headache intensified sharply.
---
The Observe ability activated automatically.
---
> Bloodline resonance increasing
>
> Ancient servant recognition confird
>
> Dormant authority partially activated
---
Xu Yuan honestly wanted the system to stop confirming horrifying things.
---
Then suddenly—
the giant crimson eye above the heavens pulsed violently again.
BOOOOOOOOM!
The kneeling giant entity instantly scread in agony.
Its countless crimson eyes bled black mist while chains tightened around its body deeply.
---
Sothing beyond the eye was punishing it.
---
The cold ancient voice echoed again inside Xu Yuan’s mind.
This ti—
filled with murderous fury.
> “The fragnt must return.”
>
> “Erase the pair.”
---
Imdiately afterward—
the giant crimson eye released countless crimson beams downward toward the city.
---
“DEFEND!”
Zhao Tianhe erupted into motion instantly.
His spear transford into a massive crimson dragon across the heavens while elders and cultivators released spiritual attacks together.
---
BOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOM!
The sky exploded endlessly.
---
Xu Yuan grabbed Xia Yu instinctively while dodging falling destruction around them.
Entire streets vanished beneath the bombardnt.
Civilians scread.
Buildings collapsed.
Formation barriers shattered continuously.
---
The giant eye had stopped caring about the city.
Now—
it only wanted them dead.
---
Then suddenly—
the kneeling giant entity moved.
---
BOOOOOOOOM!
It raised both chained arms upward—
and blocked the descending crimson beams itself.
---
The entire battlefield froze again.
---
Black crystal shattered from its body continuously while ancient chains pierced deeper into its flesh.
But despite the pain—
the giant entity protected Xu Yuan and Xia Yu.
---
Why?
Because instinct older than mory still remained.
---
The softer female voice whispered faintly inside Xu Yuan’s consciousness.
> “Even now… they still follow your bloodline…”
---
Xu Yuan’s pupils contracted slightly.
---
Then—
the giant crimson eye opened wider than ever before.
And behind it—
sothing enormous slowly moved within the darkness.
Much larger than the chained entity.
Much older.
---
The system screen exploded violently before Xu Yuan.
---
> CRITICAL WARNING
>
> True observer awakening
>
> Probability of survival decreasing rapidly
>
> Ergency function unlocking…
---
Suddenly—
new words appeared slowly beneath it.
---
> Bloodline Authority Available:
>
> Suppression
---
The information entered Xu Yuan’s mind instantly.
He understood it naturally.
Like breathing.
Like instinct.
---
Above the battlefield—
the giant eye prepared another attack.
One strong enough to erase the inner city completely.
---
Xu Yuan slowly raised his head.
And for the first ti—
his eyes faintly glowed crimson-black.
