Chapter 294: Giant Against Giant

Soon, Chen Yiming arrived at the source of the black aura.

There was a pool of boiling black water and three men surrounded by black aura. The two sides met just like that.

“It’s you?”

“It’s you guys?”

Two surprised voices sounded, and both sides were surprised.

Cheng Shikun, Shi Qingxin, and Xu Zhansheng were still full of confidence a moment ago. When they saw who it was, their expressions instantly became flustered.

In private, the three of them didn’t care much about Chen Yiming. This was because they had the backing of their lord, who had surpassed the master realm. They felt that they would break through to the master realm sooner or later.

At that time, it would be three against one, and the three of them thought that Chen Yiming had no chance of survival.

But that was in the future, not at this moment.

Now, even though their lord had told them that a joint attack from the three of them could severely injure a martial master, their foundation was still a little weak.

Chen Yiming noticed that the three inner court heads had already broken through to the half-step master realm. They had broken through one and a half realms in a row and were almost catching up to him. It was clear that the existence supporting the three of them was not something straightforward.

The pool of boiling black water was the source of power that could fight against him on a spiritual level.

At the thought of this, he did not dare to hide his abilities.

Giant transformation!

The streams of air around his body began to spin crazily. Every time his heart beat, it was like a cannonball had exploded. His entire body suddenly increased from 1.9 meters to 100 meters.

This was the first time he had transformed into a giant on the blue planet. His entire body was about 50 times larger, and his feet were about 15 meters long. Each of his legs was as tall as a building with more than 10 floors.

Countless web-like cracks spread out in all directions from where he was standing. It was as if an earthquake had occurred on the mountain, and some of the older buildings in the Kunshan Sect had collapsed.

Chen Yiming’s giant form was already causing the Kunshan Sect to be on the verge of collapse before he even made a move.

“F*ck, this guy is not human!” Cheng Shikun cursed.

Even for bloodline warriors, there had never been a case of such a large change in size. Usually, one would become close to 10 meters tall, and the height of a three-story building was the limit.

“It’s over, what should we do!”

the other two deputy sect masters exclaimed. The visual impact of the 100-meter-tall giant was something that one could only understand when they saw it with their own eyes.

Some time ago, it was still unclear if the martial master from the Sam Nation was dead or alive. From the looks of it, the odds were stacked against him.

Cheng Shikun glanced at the pool of black water at the side. This was the mission that their lord had given them. No matter what, they could not afford to lose it. He was trying to think of a way to successfully retreat while taking the black water with him.

Chen Yiming was like a skyscraper standing naked in front of the three of them. Other than using his energy to cover his private parts, his full body of muscles was revealed. It was clear that he had a terrifying amount of strength.

When he looked down at the three people, it was as if he was looking at three ants. There was a feeling that he was bullying the weak.

“The Kunshan Sect made a deal with the devil. Die!”

Chen Yiming’s angry voice exploded like thunder, and the clouds in the sky shook.

When Cheng Shikun, Shi Qingxin, and Xu Zhansheng saw this scene, they held their breaths. Their eardrums buzzed, and their faces turned pale.

They looked at each other and controlled the black aura around them and transformed it into ghosts. Some were holding steel forks, some were holding axes, and some were holding spears.

Hundreds of ghosts rose into the air and charged at the giant not far away.

“Evil aura, extinguish!”

Chen Yiming’s eyes lit up. He raised his foot, and it was as if a small building was lifted into the air. An invisible barrier was created that stopped the movements of all the ghosts within it.

“Boom!” The huge foot stomped down.

A crack appeared that ran from the top to the foot of the mountain. A large amount of rubble flew into the sky before falling to the bottom of the mountain. None of the ghosts could even put up a struggle and they were all instantly wiped out.

The sect master, Cheng Shikun, felt as if his body was being held down by heavy shackles. He gasped. With his spiritual power severely damaged, he forced himself to dodge the huge foot.

Was this a power that humans could possess?

The ghosts were transformed from his spiritual power, but they were no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot. The difference between the two sides was too great. In addition, due to the influence of the mysterious barrier, his speed was greatly reduced, and he could not think of a way to break out of the situation.

The other two deputy sect masters were in a similar situation. The two of them were weaker than Cheng Shikun to begin with, and they had to use almost all their strength to dodge the huge foot.

They spat out a mouthful of blood. The attack earlier had used up about a third of their spiritual power, and all of it had been destroyed in an instant. At this moment, their heads were aching so badly that it felt like they were about to explode.

Since he had severely injured the three of them with just one move, there was no need to be concerned about them. Chen Yiming turned to look at the small pool.

Previously, what was resisting his spiritual power was the black water inside. Under his gaze, the black water could no longer hide what was underneath.

The black water exploded with a bang, and the black aura spread out. Soon, it also formed a 100-meter-tall giant.

The difference from Chen Yiming was that the giant formed by the black aura was wearing a thick layer of armor. It held a large black sword in one hand and a black shield in the other.

The three people from the Kunshan Sect were wrapped in the black aura and floating at a position between the eyebrows of the giant.

“Is this the treasure that the Lord gave us?”

“Hahaha! Too powerful. It feels like a god-like power.”

“We don’t have to be afraid of Chen Yiming anymore. Kill him.”

The spiritual power of the three people from the Kunshan Sect mixed with the black aura, and they could make the black giant move under their command. They could experience the ability of the master realm to mobilize natural power.

Under their command, the black sword slashed forward vertically. A tornado formed from the black aura spun out, and a large amount of sand and rocks were swept up in its wake.

Chen Yiming frowned. Could it be that the demon in the strange mountain village was really an existence beyond the master realm? Could this be a strange item that could give one the combat strength of the master realm?

He could not believe it, because the black water clearly looked like a living creature.

Before the black aura tornado arrived, his ears were already filled with the screams of all kinds of ghosts. Chen Yiming ignored them and threw out a punch.

With the enhancement from the force similar to gravity, his fist became countless times heavier. Numerous shock waves exploded outwards, and the air shook.

When the huge black tornado collided with the ordinary-looking fist, its internal structure instantly collapsed, exploding into wind blades that shot out in all directions.

Wherever the black wind blades touched, the grass withered and the rocks melted, and sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling rang out. Everything in their path was destroyed.

With this collision, the Kunshan Sect was almost completely destroyed by the black aura.

The destructive power of the black aura tornado was clearly terrifying, but the three people from the Kunshan Sect widened their eyes and could not be happy about it.

“This…”

Although the black aura tornado was powerful and could create a storm of curses, it was clearly inferior to the stronger power.

The scattered black wind blades hit Chen Yiming, but they didn’t even break his skin. The terrifying power of the curses was completely blocked out.

“It’s my turn! Take this.”

Chen Yiming didn’t hold back at all. He kicked hard with his huge foot, and the mountain instantly experienced a level-10 earthquake. Almost none of the buildings in the mostly destroyed sect survived, and they were all reduced to ruins.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of the black giant. A force similar to gravity restrained the other party, and with the unimaginable strength of a giant, he punched the black giant in the chest.

“Boom!”

It was a little like a volcanic eruption.

His opponent raised his black shield to defend itself, but it was instantly broken. Immediately after, his fist punched into its chest, and all the power exploded there.

The black giant’s entire body expanded a few times. First, it became fatter, then it became a balloon with holes everywhere. Finally, its body completely exploded.

…

A few minutes later.

???

Chen Yiming scanned his surroundings with his spiritual power, but his mind was filled with unanswered questions.

The black giant was blown up by his punch, turning into a black rain that fell on an area of about 10 kilometers. Then, there was nothing else. The scene he had imagined of it gathering again or escaping in different directions did not happen.

He was using his spiritual power to scan the area the entire time, so it was almost impossible for it to have escaped.

“This guy is a little weak! Could it really have been finished off with a single punch?”

“Or is my giant talent too strong?” Chen Yiming said in shock.

Since he could not figure it out, he could only find another suitable opponent to fight with in the future. He retracted his 1.9-meter-long head and quickly rushed towards the strange mountain village.

10 minutes later, a young man returned to the ruins of the Kunshan Sect. It was Chen Yiming.

After wandering around and not finding anything, he had no choice but to leave.

Half an hour later, the young man returned again. This time, after confirming that there was really nothing, he rushed to the strange mountain village.

…

When Chen Yiming arrived at the strange mountain village, the sky had already started to darken.

He went up to a mountain peak and studied his destination from a few kilometers away.

A dilapidated mountain village came into view. Strangely, he did not see the fog mentioned in the information. He could only see a spatial rift in the middle of the village.

“According to the information, the fog usually doesn’t cover a large area, but it can still cover the entire village. Why did it suddenly dissipate?” Chen Yiming thought to himself.

He wanted to enter the otherworld to investigate, but when he thought about how the three people from the Kunshan Sect had said that the black water was a treasure bestowed by their lord, Chen Yiming hesitated.

He should put his safety first. This type of unknown danger should be investigated by the spiritual figure that could be revived by him.

“If the three people from the Kunshan Sect used some special method to escape with the black water, it is very likely to be related to the strange mountain village. Let’s keep an eye on things first.”

Chen Yiming sat cross-legged and waited for changes to appear in the village.

…

At midnight, light footsteps sounded as someone stepped on the gravel.

Chen Yiming’s ears twitched as he looked in the direction of the noise. A figure was carefully moving forward, heading straight for the village.

The figure stopped a kilometer away and started to walk around the village to observe it. It took him more than half an hour to circle the village.

“Someone who wants to try the demon’s test?”

From the other party’s actions, it was easy to make such a judgment. He watched the intruder intently.

…

Gao Qi explored the area around the legendary strange mountain village, then walked back in the direction he had come from.

He was the boss of a trading company that did business across the provinces. He was 49 years old this year and had broken through to the warrior realm 19 years ago. After that, he was stuck and could not make any progress for many years.

By chance, he heard some news about the strange village.

“It’s true that its position is surrounded by the six large sects, and it’s also true that there’s a spatial rift in the middle of the village. However, what exactly is the test? There’s no hint at all. As a mere warrior, I can’t just enter an unknown area in the otherworld, right?” Gao Qi cursed.

Chen Yiming was following behind him and eavesdropping.

Gao Qi walked for a while more before he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He chuckled and said, “Why am I so stupid? If I leak out the information about the strange mountain village, there will definitely be people who are not afraid of death who will scout the way for me.”

“Tell me what you know.”

A voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

Gao Qi’s face froze, and his entire body tensed up.

In this dark and windy wilderness, he was actually followed by someone, but he did not notice it. How terrifying!

Chen Yiming waited for the other party to turn around. With a wave of his hand, a tree more than 10 meters away fell to the ground as if it had been cut by something.

“Don’t be anxious. I’ll talk.”

Gao Qi raised his hands, indicating that he would not resist.

Chen Yiming nodded. “Hurry up.”

Gao Qi took a deep breath and said, “When I was drinking with a disciple from the Kunshan Sect, I heard from him that entering that village would immediately increase one’s talent. Then, I went to the library in Jiangnan City to look through the geographical information and found that the address of the village had a red cross drawn on it, indicating that it was an extremely dangerous place. In the end, I came alone to take a look at the situation.”

Chen Yiming asked, “How many times have you been here? Has the village always been like this?”

Gao Qi replied, “Three times. The first time was a week ago. I haven’t noticed any changes in the village.”

“Don’t come here again. It’s not something you can come into contact with. You’ll die.”

Chen Yiming left behind a warning and disappeared from Gao Qi’s sight.

After returning to the mountain peak, he continued to monitor the village.

“It became like this at least a week ago. It’s still unclear when the fog dissipated. I have to be patient.”

…

The next day, the sun rose.

Chen Yiming monitored the area for the entire night but didn’t find anything.

At noon, teams of soldiers came to the vicinity of the strange mountain village and set up camp, but they did not dare to get within a kilometer of it.

“Will there be suicide squads risking their lives to enter the otherworld?”

Chen Yiming observed the situation secretly and didn’t make his presence known.

It was not that he wanted the soldiers to take the risk, but that it would take time to switch with the spiritual figure. He had originally planned to monitor the situation for three days, but if there were no results, he would get the spiritual figure to investigate.

…

On the third morning, the sky was gray and it suddenly started to drizzle.

Wang Ronghui, one of the three city guardians of Jiangnan City, personally arrived at the strange village. Behind him was a team of more than 10 armed people.

The team carried some simple tools, such as gas masks, oxygen tanks, and some grappling hooks.

Soon, the team took the risk and entered the village. They checked every one of the dilapidated houses and did not find anything amiss.

The most dangerous moment was about to arrive. The team gathered in front of the spatial rift. Each of them carried a gas mask, an oxygen tank, and a grappling hook tied to their waists, ready to deal with the extreme situation on the other side of the space-travel passage.

“Charge!”

Under the command of the captain, the team charged into the space-travel passage.

Next, they waited anxiously. Not only was Wang Ronghui, the city guardian, observing the situation, but Chen Yiming was also secretly paying attention.

From time to time, crows would fly over the village and circle around it. Everyone’s expression was solemn. This usually meant that something bad was going to happen.
