Chapter 075: Two Crystals
Watching the blue giant approach step by step, Chen Xiao’s nerves tightened instantly. The little bit of mental energy he still had was used to communicate with the Main God’s Space, so that he could flee at the first sign of danger.
Although he had saved this giant just now, Chen Xiao didn’t dare to be the least bit careless. He was taking a gamble.
“Ugh…”
The blue giant let out a low roar and came to within ten meters of Chen Xiao. Then it opened its mouth and spat out a blue crystal.
“Roar…”
After that, it turned around and roared at the green giant, seemingly saying something.
The green giant hesitated for a moment before also stepping forward. It opened its mouth, and a green crystal fell out.
There seemed to be some connection between the two crystals. As soon as they were exposed to the air, they instinctively began to attract each other, slowly moving closer.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao felt a little more at ease. Though these two were fierce beasts, they were also sentient beings and likely wouldn’t do something ungrateful.
“Are these… superpower crystals?”
Instantly, Chen Xiao’s eyes widened. He was very familiar with the fluctuations of these two crystals—they were exactly like the superpower crystal he had seen in the Superpowerers Association of the Flame Soul Realm.
However, the fluctuations on the green crystal were extremely subtle.
“Argh—!”
“Argh—!”
Just as Chen Xiao was undecided, suddenly, the two giants in front of him let out earth-shattering roars. The terrifying sound waves spread far and wide, reaching even hundreds of miles away. It seemed these sounds were conveying some kind of message.
In an instant, all the fierce beasts and spirits within a hundred miles lay prostrate on the ground. Even a blood-colored seventh-tier fierce spirit couldn’t help but lie down!
If Chen Xiao had seen this, he wouldn’t know what to think.
“Damn it!”
Chen Xiao’s expression changed. The power of the Main God instantly flowed through his body, protecting his eardrums. Otherwise, he would have been completely deafened by those roars.
But Chen Xiao also noticed that countless waves suddenly rose in the large lake in front of him. Massive aquatic giants climbed out of the water and lay on the ground, their gazes fixed on Chen Xiao as if trying to memorize his appearance.
At the same time, Chen Xiao noticed that the fierce beasts that hadn’t run away yet, no matter what their strength was, also lay on the ground, trembling, with their eyes fixed on him.
Whoosh…
Several giant birds flying in the sky also descended.
“These two fierce beasts are the kings of this Thousand Souls Realm!”
Seeing this, Chen Xiao immediately made a judgment. He was also deeply shocked. The kings of the Thousand Souls Realm within a hundred miles were at least seventh-tier fierce beasts. Yet they had been severely injured. If not for Chen Xiao’s timely treatment, the blue giant probably wouldn’t have survived three days.
Instantly, a strong sense of crisis arose in Chen Xiao’s heart.
“This world of supernatural powers is truly terrifying. Yet, just the fact that this blue giant was severely damaged while the blue giant remained unharmed proves that that powerful being must have been repelled or killed.” Chen Xiao’s mind raced as he considered various possibilities. One thing was clear to him: he had already obtained a pass to this Thousand Souls Domain. With the deterrence of these two fierce beast rulers, he could move freely in the area without fear of attacks from powerful beasts or evil spirits.
After a while, both beasts stopped roaring, gave Chen Xiao a deep glance, and slowly left, heading toward the lake in the distance. Seeing them go, all the aquatic and terrestrial beasts in the vicinity shuddered and scattered in all directions.
Chen Xiao let out a long sigh. He quickly stepped forward to the two supernatural crystals and examined them closely. “Strange—there are two supernatural crystals? Are both used to communicate with the Thousand Souls Domain?” His brows furrowed slightly. Suddenly, he remembered the wave of evil spirits in the Flame Souls Domain and the black iron curtain that appeared later… Could it also be due to a second supernatural crystal?
Chen Xiao waved his hand, and two blue waves appeared, cleaning the surfaces of the crystals. After all, they had come out of the mouths of those two giants. Even though Chen Xiao wasn’t particular about cleanliness, it still felt unpleasant. After cleaning them, he summoned another wave to send the two crystals into the Main God Space for further study. He hadn’t forgotten his main goal: to obtain the Thousand Souls Grass and complete the assessment for a free hunter.
Seven or eight hours had passed so far, leaving him with still over a dozen hours—more than enough time for Chen Xiao.
“I must settle accounts with that old guy when I go back,” he resolved in his heart. If it weren’t for his earlier mastery of the “Control” technique, which allowed him to draw upon the Life Water in the Main God Space, and if it weren’t for him accidentally learning this set of combined spirit spells in the Soul of China, his life would likely have been lost here today.
“Luck—luck is indeed part of strength.”
Chen Xiao hurried to the lake’s edge. By then, the two giants had long disappeared without a trace. “Could they be a couple? One aquatic and one terrestrial? How strange,” he muttered to himself.
This large lake was no different from ordinary lakes in the mortal world—its waters were clear and vast. A thin layer of mist covered the surface, and through it, Chen Xiao could faintly see a grayish island.
He closed his eyes and sensed the water, finding it to be ordinary with nothing unusual about it.
The next moment, all the hair on Chen Xiao’s body stood on end. In the shallow waters near the shore, a pair of blood-red giant eyes were staring intently at him. When it realized Chen Xiao had noticed it, it instantly dived into the deep waters and never appeared again.
“Hey, if it weren’t for those two giants earlier, that thing probably wouldn’t have fled—it would have just opened its mouth and swallowed me.”
Chen Xiao shook his head. “Good luck—nothing can stop it.”
Chen Xiao waved his hand, and a huge wave rose in the lake. He leaped upward and immediately stepped onto the wave.
“Riding the wind and waves, I’m also an immortal now, hehehe.”
Facing the wind blowing towards him, Chen Xiao happily spread his arms. The fierce beasts in the water, upon encountering Chen Xiao, fled as if avoiding a plague, scattering in all directions.
Now, Chen Xiao’s soul had begun to merge slightly with the main divine essence. Though it was only a very minor fusion, it greatly enhanced his connection with water and his control over it.
“Since this water can carry my body forward, can’t it also make my body fly?”
Suddenly, an idea struck Chen Xiao.
