Chapter 689 Giant Spirit Tribe

A few months later.

In the boundless wilderness, the sound of killing was deafening, and the air was filled with a bloody and violent atmosphere.

The two armies were fighting in the boundless wilderness. On one side were hundreds of giants tens of feet tall, accompanied by densely packed low-level giants, and on the other side were tens of thousands of human monks.

The brutal war, like a meat grinder, continuously reaped the monks from both sides.

Various magical spells, the roar of psychic cannons, and the colorful light curtains of formations suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

The tallest of the giants in the lead were over a thousand feet tall, and their cultivation levels were above the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Some of these giants look like lava giants, some are like tall tree men, and some look like trolls, with different shapes.

But its fighting power is extremely strong. The magical attacks launched by humans are like tickling when they hit the giant, and cannot cause any harm at all.

On the contrary, these terrifying giants could trample a large number of human monks to death in an instant with just a stomp of their feet, just like a Shura field.
After months of flying, Qin Ming rode the Ice Crystal Bird from the outer space, crossed an extremely long distance, and finally arrived at the border between Kunlun Territory and the Giant Spirit Clan.

The place where the two tribes fought is called 'Manghuo Wasteland'.

After he came here, he had been observing secretly for several days and could see that these cultivators of the human race could hardly be the opponents of these giants.

It often takes the death of many human monks to barely defeat a high-level giant.

And at the back of the battlefield, there were even some powerful giants who were fully armed and wearing the 'Sacrificial Spirit Ancestral Pattern'. They had not really taken action yet, but were just standing at the back of the battlefield, watching everything coldly.

……

On the border of Kunlun Territory, a large-scale fairy city, 'Liaohuo Fairy City', was built relying on the wildfire wasteland.

This fairy city was built by the joint efforts of major forces near the border. These sects formed a temporary coalition to jointly resist the invasion of giants.

The human army is also stationed here.

At this time, in the most central hall in the center of Liaohuo Immortal City, several incarnation monks dressed in different costumes were discussing things.

The one sitting on the main seat was a square-faced middle-aged cultivator who had reached the perfect state of spiritual transformation. He exuded majesty in his every move.

"Alliance Master Fang, although the support from Tianxing City arrived in time, this amount of manpower is just a drop in the bucket!"

"The Giants have even sent out hundreds of mountain giants. Ordinary spells are completely unable to break through their defenses. We have already suffered a great loss on the battlefield!

"Look, do we still have to hold on? If we continue like this, I'm afraid that our Lingmiao Sect will lose all its assets."

A silver-haired old man who had also reached the perfect state of spiritual transformation said in a deep voice with a worried look on his face.

"Alliance Master Fang, my Wunian Zen Temple also has the same intention. Tianxing City is simply using us as cannon fodder and doesn't care whether we live or die." A Zen master holding a golden Zen staff in the hall also echoed.

"It's the same with our Zhenyue Sword Sect."

"I second the motion. We in Luoyun Valley can no longer hold on."

Everyone in the hall said this.

At this time, the stern middle-aged leader Fang at the head of the group glanced at the monks in the hall.

"Humph! All of you here enjoy generous resource allocations on a daily basis, but now that we are faced with a powerful alien enemy, you all start to back down?!"

"Although we are only a temporary coalition, we are still recruited and controlled by the upper echelons of Tianxing City. But if we retreat now, it means we will completely lose our territory and fall into the hands of the giants."

"Let's not talk about whether the upper echelons can bear the responsibility for this crime. Are you willing to be the sinners of all ages and be infamous for eternity?"

"Master Jin Yue, Sect Master Yan, do you know why those giant spirits are so crazy to break into the human territory this time?"

Hearing the other party's question, Zen Master Jin Yue showed a puzzled expression on his face and asked: "Oh? Why is that? Could it be that Sect Master Fang has obtained some top-secret internal information?"

"That's right. The reason why the giants are so rampant is that they are said to have discovered Chaos Yang Gold in the 'Sky-reaching Mountains' that border our human area, which has caused internal strife among the giants." Alliance Leader Fang said slowly.

"What?! It's actually Chaos Yang Gold. This thing is one of the two main ingredients for refining Yin Yang Guixu Pill! It's a chance to refine the void! How could it appear there?"

The rest of the people present were all shocked when they learned the secret.

"This kind of opportunity to refine the Void Realm, let alone here, is almost monopolized by the upper class even among the human race. Even if we find it, what's the use? It's not our turn at all."

Sect Leader Yan said this, but he still had something else in mind. He wanted to hear Alliance Leader Fang's opinion.

In addition, the few people who were still hesitating about backing out also showed signs of hesitation. It was obvious that they were all aroused after hearing about the refining spiritual objects.

After all, in the spiritual world, although the resources for cultivation are more abundant than in the human world, for cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Stage, there are still very few opportunities suitable for a breakthrough.

Most of the top-level resources are still controlled by the big guys in the spiritual world.

Most of the cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Stage practice arduously. If they can break through a small realm after hundreds or even thousands of years, it is already a great blessing from their ancestors.

There have been only a few cultivators like Qin Ming who have made rapid progress and advanced to the late stage of dual cultivation of magic and body in just over a hundred years in tens of thousands of years.

Even if there are, they are the core geniuses among the major sects.

The difficulty of refining the void is much higher than breaking through all the previous realms combined.

Because not only do you have to achieve the unity of the five elements and realize nothingness, but you also have to deal with the great calamity of refining nothingness.

No matter how powerful the magical powers of a cultivator who has reached the perfect state of Spiritual Transformation are, he will never be able to withstand the great calamity of Void Refinement if he does not have one or two treasures to ward off calamities.

Moreover, it is not over after achieving the realm of refining emptiness. Every time you break through a small realm, it will attract the vitality of heaven and earth, and you need to deal with the calamity of refining emptiness. Without a treasure, you will definitely not be able to survive to the realm of fusion.

Therefore, the Spirit Transformation Stage can only be regarded as the middle and lower level in the spiritual world, and only the Void Refining Stage can be regarded as entering the upper ranks.

Countless gods have been stuck in front of this chasm throughout their entire lives.

Alliance Leader Fang continued, "Hehe! This Chaos Yang Gold is a rare opportunity for us human cultivators to achieve the state of Void Refining. It is also the key to a breakthrough for the Giant Spirits. It is even honored as the 'Holy Stone'."

"It is said that this time the giants broke into the human territory. Not only did several giant tribes in the Qingtian Mountains begin to fight for the Chaos Yang Gold, but even the demons and monsters mixed in, wanting to get a piece of the pie."

"Those small tribes that originally lived in the Qingtian Mountains were driven out, and then they rushed into our human territory."

Hearing this, the others present looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Leader of the Alliance, what do you mean?"

"Since the root of the problem lies in the Qingtian Mountains of the Giant Spirit Clan, are you willing to go there together to seek opportunities? Maybe we can take the opportunity to resolve this Giant Spirit Clan invasion crisis." Alliance Leader Fang said solemnly.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present began to waver.

The alliance that was about to fall apart was brought together again.

After all, the opportunity of refining the Void is in front of them, which is an absolutely irresistible temptation for these cultivators who are in the middle and late stages of the Spiritualization. Only in this way can they take the risk.

Even Qin Ming, who was always as steady as an old dog, rushed here without stopping after making all the preparations after hearing about the Chaos Yang Gold and Taiyi Yin Jade.

"In that case, we will follow Alliance Leader Fang and give it one last try!"

"But how do we explain this to the envoy from Tianxing City?"

"This matter will be handled by the leader. Please prepare yourself. We will set out for the Qingtian Mountains in three days."

Soon, everyone in the hall made up their mind.

however.

What these people didn’t know was that everything that was said tonight was heard word for word by Qin Ming who was hiding in the dark.

After all, his divine sense was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, so it was extremely easy for him to eavesdrop on the conversations of these Spirit Transformation cultivators without being discovered.

And at this moment, he was even thousands of miles away from the Black Wing Immortal City.

"I didn't expect that the demons and monsters would get involved. It looks like this Chaos Yang Gold is really hard to get!"

In the sky, after Qin Ming obtained this key information, he also had a general understanding of the situation here.

He took out a jade map, looked at it, and then rode on the Ice Crystal Bird again and flew towards the direction of the Giant Spirit Clan's Qingtian Mountains.

a few days later.

A mountain range consisting of eighteen giant peaks gradually came into Qin Ming's sight.

Spiritual veins converge and the mountains are vast.

A huge rune totem is flashing on the outskirts of these mountains.

The deeper Qin Ming went, the more he discovered that the giants were almost the same as humans under normal circumstances before they transformed.

He's just tall and strong.

Moreover, the local customs and habits here are very similar to those of humans. After all, it borders the Kunlun Region.

Only after they have unleashed their innate rune powers, can they transform into terrifying giants that are invincible on the battlefield.

Qin Ming immediately asked the Blue Ice Fairy to return to the small spiritual realm, and he himself cast a true demon illusion and disguised himself as a member of the giant spirit tribe.

A dark-skinned, muscular, bearded man, who was the Long Daoist he had disguised himself as in the human world.
Then, he landed at the foot of one of the peaks of the Qingtian Mountains.

At the foot of this mountain, there is a tribe of giants entrenched here. Their totem pattern is a ball of flame.

Qin Ming had seen this kind of rune totem in the intelligence collected by Baili Hui. It was from the Flame Power Giant Spirit Tribe that advocated the "Heaven-Burning Divine Power".

Therefore, he also changed his aura, mobilized the sixth-level ancient poisonous flame in his body, disguised himself as a member of the Yanli tribe, and followed the crowd in.

When the low-level giants saw such a senior master with a strong aura coming, they all obediently gave way.

With Qin Ming's current realm, the true demon illusion he displayed would never be exposed unless it was investigated by a cultivator in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm or above.

He had already inquired about it when he came here, as this place is located in the outer area of ​​the giant tribe.

Among the tribes living under the eighteen peaks of the Qingtian Mountains, the highest level of cultivation is the Perfect Spirit Transformation.

Of course, even if they are both in the God Transformation Stage, the combat power of the Giants is slightly higher than that of the Humans after they use their natal rune totems to transform.

They are able to draw strength from the mountains and stars for their own use, and have a natural advantage.

"Hey brother, why do you look unfamiliar? Where are you from?"

A simple settlement at the foot of the mountain.

A middle-aged man from the Giant Spirit Clan who was in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, with cracked skin, glanced at the flame totem on Qin Ming's arm and then asked.

Qin Ming was looking around, preparing to find someone to get some information about the place, when he saw someone coming up to him from behind and talking to him.

He turned around, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a muffled voice: "I am the Rock of the Yanli Tribe of Wumeng Mountain. Who are you?"

"So you are Brother Yanli. I guess you are here to compete for the chance to get the Holy Stone, right? I am Huangyue from the Shanyan tribe. How about we find a place to talk?" the middle-aged man invited warmly and sincerely.

Qin Ming was a little surprised to see that someone had invited him, but he simply went with the flow and agreed.

Then the two of them found a tavern in the tribe and started talking.

"This time the eighteen tribes are competing for the holy stone, which has attracted many tribesmen to come here. However, in order to avoid bloody casualties among the tribesmen again, the high priest decided to have the final contest through a battle of magical powers. I wonder if Brother Panshi is the helper invited by the Lava Tribe?" Huang Yue asked after offering a glass of wine.

Qin Ming smiled freely on his dark face and said boldly, "I am a casual cultivator. I was traveling and heard by chance that a chance of a holy stone was revealed in the Qingtian Mountains. So I came here to try my luck. I don't know the rules here yet."

"No wonder, Brother Panxing looked so unfamiliar to me just now. Since you are a casual cultivator, why don't you come to our Shanyan tribe to help out? If you can win the competition, we can promise to give you a holy stone." Huang Yue also took a fancy to Qin Ming's powerful strength.

The main thing was that he could sense a heart-pounding burning aura from it.

This shows that this casual cultivator from the Flame Power Tribe is indeed an extraordinary person, and has the strength of the late Spirit Transformation Realm, which is also what he values ​​most.

"Oh? Then Brother Huang Yue, can you tell me in detail?" Qin Ming asked immediately.

Huang Yue came to the foot of the mountain this time to actually look for help, because their mountain rock tribe was ranked last among the eighteen peaks.

We had to invite foreign aid.

Only the top five tribes can get the "holy stone" that appeared in the Qingtian Mountains this time.

Since many giants came to the scene after hearing the news, the high priest allowed the invitation of foreign aid.

After Qin Ming talked with the other party, he also understood the cause and effect.

However, he did not agree to the other party immediately.

Instead, he asked, "Are all those participating in the battle from the Giant Spirit Clan?"

Huang Yue hesitated for a while, then explained: "In addition to people from our tribe, the tribe has also invited people from other tribes. As long as they do not violate the rules, theoretically they can all participate."

"The competition for the Holy Stone will begin in ten days."

After listening to this, Qin Ming began to ponder secretly. The foreigners the other party mentioned were most likely from the demon clan and the monster clan.

It seems that since all parties are eyeing the fat meat here, the people of the Giants have to make some compromises.
