Beneath, on a not-so-large Floating Island, a group of people was busy, for below the Floating Island there was an imnsely huge fragnt of a Cosmic Stone! And naturally, the energy source of the so-called Lord of Yellow Sands originated from here.
Elsa was descending rapidly when suddenly, an inexplicable pressure ca from the front, causing Elsa to brake urgently. Despite her efforts, she still collided with an invisible Space Barrier. Fortunately, she had already slowed down beforehand, so she wasn’t injured. However, this collision alerted the people below, who looked up in shock to see Elsa herself and were imdiately scared out of their wits. Desperately, they triggered their Magic, attempting to make the Floating Island escape. But now that Elsa was here, how could she possibly let them slip away?
Elsa transford her body into a semi-energy state and adjusted her energy frequency, spreading her hands and directly attaching them to the barrier. Not only that, Elsa was also continuously absorbing energy from the barrier!
This sent the people on the entire Floating Island into a state of utter terror! The once mighty Lord of Yellow Sands quickly dissipated, turning into a sandstorm that swept around, trying to force Elsa away. However, Elsa opened a set of pure white Light Wings, which exploded, transforming into countless Light Spears that interwove to form an imnsely large Array!
"Space Barrier!"
Boom!
The mont the Space Barrier ford, the Floating Island slamd heavily upon it. Since the blockade existed on the spatial level, it was utterly impossible for sothing as heavy as the Floating Island to break through the barrier. The surrounding sandstorm couldn’t penetrate it by an inch!
"Now, it’s just you and left," Elsa said as her opponents’ Magic Barrier grew increasingly weaker. Finally, in the last mont, the Magic Barrier completely shattered!
However, at the sa ti, a very thin but incredibly bright beam of light swept up from below. Elsa reacted swiftly, avoiding the strike. The beam hit the Space Barrier, creating arcs of lightning!
aning, this attack was also a space attack, for it to interfere with the Space Barrier!
"You bastards are more stubborn than I thought," Elsa beca sowhat impatient. "It looks like you’re intent on fighting to the bitter end." This ti, black wings grew out of her back, and then exploded, transforming into nurous black spears that rained down like a deluge!
The people below let out howls, hastily deploying a Magic Barrier in an attempt to withstand the assault. But the rashly erected Magic Barrier couldn’t even block one black spear, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the people below were dead or injured!
"Please stop attacking! We surrender! We surrender!" The people below dropped their defenses and raised their hands high to show they were harmless.
Elsa descended and finally got a close look at the people before her.
They were tall in stature, seemingly like the Giants described in records. But by the looks on their faces, they seed to have no connection with the legendary Giants.
"Now, I will ask the questions, and you will answer them. Based on your answers, I will decide what to do with you," Elsa stated.
"We understand, please ask," said a person who seed to be the leader.
"Who are you, where do you co from, and why did you attack ?" These were Elsa’s most important questions.
"We are Mountain Giants. My na is Old Stone Fist, and I am the leader of these people. We co from the Lower Plane. As for why we attacked you, it’s because we were entrusted by the inhabitants of the planet, who helped us in our ti of greatest need, compelling us to protect them for thirty years," Old Stone Fist explained.
If Long Yi were here, he would recognize that this man was indeed the leader of the Black Rock Tribe of Mountain Giants, Old Stone Fist, with his son Stone Fist standing behind him.
"Good, I have plenty of ti. I suggest you start telling everything from the beginning," Elsa said.
"Let explain, it was my trouble that started all of this," Stone Fist ca forward and spoke.
Then, Stone Fist described the whole story about how the Mountain Giants grew bored of mining, how they eventually excavated a huge Cosmic Stone, then traversed ti and space to the upper Plane decades ago, and how they accepted the task from a Prophet to aid them.
"We really thought we could stop you, but we didn’t expect you to be so powerful," Stone Fist said.
"Since you’ve already promised the Prophet to protect them, letting in like this, isn’t it a mistake on your part? Moreover, you’ve told all your secrets, aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you all and seize this Cosmic Stone?" Elsa said with a smile.
"Of course not, because there’s one na that will make you consider us as your own," Stone Fist said with full confidence.
"Oh? Let’s see then!" Elsa was intrigued.
"Don’t you know? Long Yi and I are good brothers!" Stone Fist declared.
"..."
After a mont of silence, Elsa’s whole body relaxed and her energies dissipated. This ti her face was filled with a sincere smile, "You’re right, you are one of us. But how could you be sure I would react positively to the na Long Yi?"
Stone Fist imdiately retorted excitedly, "Haha! You didn’t see that coming, did you? Long Yi and I had a great relationship back in the day; he told a lot about himself, including about a girl nad Elsa! Just now, I was guessing, with your strength, who could you be? It was only when I realized, your combat style is too much like Long Yi, and more importantly, you are part of the Celestial Clan. Who else but you could put these facts together?"
Stone Fist boasted, speaking quickly.
Elsa nodded. Stone Fist was right, but she didn’t care about that. What she truly cared about was the person far away in the Lower Plane, "Is Brother Long doing okay?"
Stone Fist curled his lips and said, "He almost has no rivals in the Lower Plane; he has always been looking for a way to enter the Middle Plane."
Elsa imdiately smiled sweetly, true to Brother Long’s nature, he was so strong, no matter where he was!
"So, what are you doing here?" Stone Fist asked.
"Since you know I am Elsa, then of course I am here because of that prophecy," said Elsa.
Old Stone Fist slapped his hand on Stone Fist’s head, and Stone Fist felt he had asked an unnecessary question and embarrassedly smiled.
"You won’t kill them, will you?" Old Stone Fist asked with so concern.
"I shouldn’t, because as far as I can see, her prophecies are very accurate. But I want to ask for so details, can you help find them?" Elsa said.
"I do know where the entrance to their city is, but as for how to get in, we have no way."
"No problem, you take there, and I will handle the rest."
The huge crystal moved at an astonishing speed. Despite flying at high speeds, neither gravity nor the flow of the air changed. Old Stone Fist took Elsa above a certain position, from where she could see a tallic structure resembling a circular mountain, with tal gates right at the center.
Elsa thanked Old Stone Fist, then spread her wings and jumped down.
She saw the location of the main gate while in the air, so she flew straight towards it and gently landed on top.
"Is anyone there?"
The volu of Elsa’s inquiring voice wasn’t loud, but she believed that soone must be monitoring this place, especially since the recent battle had been so earth-shattering.
The enormous tal gate did not respond, and the click of Ai Lin’s heels on it produced a crisp sound. It indicated that the tal gate was extrely thick. Even though Elsa had used so force, she still could not make the tal gate vibrate in the slightest.
Not only was it thick, but it also contained magic—Elsa ca to such a conclusion.
Just as Elsa was considering whether to take so special asures to open the gate, a deep rumbling sound suddenly ca from beneath the gate. It was like tallic structures shing together very rhythmically.
Then, the imnsely large tal gate began to sink downwards, moving at an extrely slow pace. Elsa simply got a chair out of her private space and sat there, waiting.
As the gate descended, the originally huge entrance above started to shrink, but a constant flow of fresh air ca through the surroundings of the passage, which ant there was no need to worry about ventilation.
Finally, when the distant massive entrance seed to be only the size of a bowl, the gate stopped. A side door in front of her opened, and several elders in black robes looked at Elsa nervously.
"The Eye of the Ancestor has foreseen your arrival, Princess of the Celestial Clan," said the leading elder.
Elsa took such words as the obligatory preamble of old frauds: You just stand there, and they tell you they’ve long known of your arrival. Don’t ask whether you believe it or not—at the very least, it seems very impressive.
"Then, has the Eye of the Ancestor foreseen why I am here?" Elsa asked.
"In fact, the person you’re seeking has also been waiting for you," said the leading elder.
Following the elders in front of her, Elsa truly stepped into an astonishing underground world.
This was a massive kingdom completely built underground, with various buildings distributed along the inner wall of a sphere. Standing here and looking up, you would see the rooftops of the structures above, and that’s where the prophets were hiding. The air was fresh, the breeze gentle, and resources were abundant. It was clear that despite having moved entirely underground, their quality of life had not changed at all.
"This place is really magnificent," Elsa said.
"You may not believe it, but this planet was once a half-completed project transford by the Giants. What it was originally ant for, we no longer know. However, when our ancestors, the prophets who first discovered this place, ca here, they knew it would beco our sanctuary. Thus, all of our people settled here up to this point. In fact, we have been continuously building and improving this place without any outsiders knowing," said the leading elder, very proudly.
"Given that, you still let in?" Elsa asked with a smile.
"Because you are not an outsider," said the elder. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please co to Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
