He walked to the base of the wall and sized it up. The wall was very rough, with a dense seam every few dozen ters, as if it had been built with huge strips of stone.
Xiang Beifei knocked on the wall.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The wall emitted a dull sound, very solid and thick. Even with the strength of the Heavenly Connection realm, it seed impossible to shatter it.
"What in the world is this place, to have such a tall wall?" Li Qianluo exclaid, touching the wall.
Xiang Beifei took two steps back, looked to the left, and then said, "There's a gap over there."
They followed the base of the wall to the left, walking forward for around three to four hundred ters, finally reaching a corner and then realizing that the wall wasn't ant to block the road ahead, but rather it seed to be encircling sothing.
They continued following the corner forward, flying another thousand ters, when suddenly they spotted a gap, seemingly rectangular, like a massive entrance. From inside, a roaring, rumbling sound could be heard.
This sound also made Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo beco alert, as whatever could produce such massive noise was definitely not simple.
"Should we go in and have a look?" Li Qianluo asked.
"Sure," Xiang Beifei replied without objection, having co all this way without a specific purpose, casual exploration seed fine. But they hadn't taken two steps when suddenly, a sharp scream erupted from inside the wall, filled with terror, as though sothing horrifying had been witnessed.
Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo exchanged glances and quickly ran towards the source of the sound. Ahead stood an incredibly tall stone column, ludicrously high, roughly several hundred ters high with a diater of about ten ters. Soon after, they saw a head rolling on the ground, eyes wide open, displaying an expression of death.
This head was bloody, with sharp ears and yellow hair, but eerily, it had no face!
Blood was still spurting from the head, probably as it rolled, and the blood pooled on the ground, extending towards the column where the ground was covered in a pool of red blood. On closer inspection, it seed like the head's body had been crushed by the column, precisely on the neck, severing the head, and the body was directly crushed into a bloody pulp.
Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo both gasped.
Within this head, a trace of the soul still remained, already shattered, brutally crushed, not even the soul could escape, truly horrifying.
"Is this also another race that ca in?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Li Qianluo touched her chin, pointed her finger at the faceless head, pondered for a mont, and said, "Not quite sure, this little yellow hair, looks like it's from the Lion Race, but they have faces."
She looked up, following the column upward, but it was too tall, still towering into the clouds, unclear why it stood there.
But at that mont, there was a "thud", the ground trembled slightly, and then the hundred-ter-high column started rising rapidly, as if being pulled out by sothing, making the air grow thick.
Boom!
As the two pondered what the column was all about, suddenly, the column smashed down towards them!
"Crap!"
Li Qianluo shouted, quickly pulling Xiang Beifei to the side to run; the column harshly struck the spot where they had just been standing, the whole ground shook violently, and the sound rolled on. Had they not run fast, they might have borne the brunt of that sky-reaching pillar's impact!
The two quickly concealed their presence again, but soon realized the column's target was not them, rather the faceless head, which under the terrifying pillar's strike, crumbled like paper, completely destroyed.
Then they saw a pair of large feet descending towards them, this ti without the mist to obscure their view, they clearly saw that the feet belonged to an incredibly tall giant, soaring into the clouds, a thousand ters tall, just like the stone sculpture they had seen before, both imnsely terrifying beings.
And that sky-reaching pillar-like stone column, was it possibly the giant's—cane?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The giant slowly moved away, each step causing a terrifying tremor, like an earthquake, that also left them both utterly astonished.
"Is this the tribe of giants?"
Xiang Beifei finally understood what that wall was all about. If there were giants a kiloter tall living here, the wall they first encountered might just be a wall of a giant's house. Now, it seed like they had entered a giant's ho like tiny mosquitoes, accidentally being squashed as insignificant bugs.
Li Qianluo suddenly realized and said, "I understand now, this is the Giant Spirit Race."
"The Giant Spirit Race?" Xiang Beifei had never heard of it.
Li Qianluo, stroking his chin, said thoughtfully, "This race is overwhelmingly powerful. I heard they are born with the strength of the orifice transforming stage, and they can step directly into the Heavenly Connection realm when they grow up. But I thought the Giant Spirit Race had gone extinct. How could they be in this Land of Inheritance?"
"Has no one ever ntioned it before when they ca in?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Li Qianluo shook his head slightly, "I don't rember, but I think there must have been so anomaly here. The special thing about the Land of Inheritance is that it connects to the Edge Corner Airspace, and it's also the key to going there. Maybe the Giant Spirit Race used so thod to get in, or maybe he arranged sothing..."
"Who is he?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Li Qianluo hesitated for a mont and then said, "The deity of the Land of Inheritance."
Xiang Beifei watched the giant who was slowly striding away with his cane go 'thud, thud,' and then turned his head to look at Li Qianluo, speaking solemnly, "You surely didn't co here just for the so-called divine inheritance, right?"
"I don't care, I'm just here to have fun." Li Qianluo said with a grin.
Xiang Beifei's gaze flickered slightly.
At that mont, Xiaohei gently tugged at Xiang Beifei's ear and quietly said, "Woof woof!"
"I know." Xiang Beifei communicated with Xiaohei in his mind.
Although the giant they had just seen was over a thousand ters tall with strength definitely in the later stages of Heavenly Connection, such a terrifying being was not sothing they could provoke. However, Xiang Beifei had seen what Heavenly Dao Laws the giant was connected to.
It was just darkness.
An endless land of darkness, rely looking at the Heavenly Dao they were connected to was quite shocking for Xiang Beifei!
What Heavenly Dao the Giant Spirit connected to, Xiang Beifei could not even ascertain.
However, he still felt a familiar aura, the sa as the Dao embryo.
Only after the giant had gone far did Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo continue their journey. This ti, they did not walk along the wall; it was obviously unwise to do so. Instead, they both flew up into the sky.
Flying up to five or six thousand ters, they finally saw the top of the wall, which was covered with a layer of stone skin, probably to shield from wind and rain. Probably no one had ever seen such a large house; where the Giant Spirit Race lived could already be considered a mountain.
Looking ahead, there was not just one giant house but also other crude stone houses, at least a dozen of differing heights, but the shortest was still two to three thousand ters. So of the houses were not constructed from huge stone slabs but seed more like the Giant Spirit Race had hollowed out a mountain and turned it into a dwelling.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
In this village, seven or eight giant spirits were slowly moving—actually calling their movent slow was not accurate since each of their steps spanned hundreds of ters. Their movents were not slow at all, even the swinging of their arms was as quick as lightning. It only seed slow because Xiang Beifei and his companions were so tiny that watching these giants move toward the distance appeared lethargic.
Another giant spirit was lying face-up by the road, seemingly asleep, snoring loudly. Each breath they exhaled seed to whip up a terrifying whirlwind in the air, quite horrifying!
At that mont, Li Qianluo, as if discovering sothing, lit up and pointed ahead, saying, "Look there, quick!"
