Startling News of the Earth Giant's Trail

The sparring match between Luo Ya and Beiya was indeed quite enlightening for both of them.

Especially since they had actively shared their respective cultivation insights, it gave Luo Ya a clear roadmap for how to gain entry into the profound mystery of 'Evil' more quickly.

Inside the cultivation chamber, silence reigned, with only Luo Ya sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion.

So this profound mystery of 'Evil' also carries a formidable soul-attack capability; no wonder I always felt the aura emanating from that technique was so eerie and cold. Luo Ya kept recalling the intuitive sensation brought to him by those cold tentacles, and he couldn't help but let his own aura lean in that direction.

Unknowingly, the temperature in the room seemed to drop by a level all at once.

At the same time, the temperament Luo Ya exuded became increasingly eerie and ominous.

His originally normal black hair and dark eyes now gave off an extremely evil and sinister impression from any angle; if one had to describe it, it could only be expressed as resembling a fiend from the abyss.

Clearly, without realizing it, Luo Ya had successfully gained entry into the profound mystery of 'Evil'.

On the other side, the silver-haired elf lady Beiya clearly did not have such good luck. Even though she had learned some cultivation points from Luo Ya, she remained unable to gain any insight into the profound mystery of 'Devour'.

Of course, this was not necessarily a matter of luck; it could only be said that there are gaps even among geniuses.

"Luo Ya, the reason we came this time is, first, Beiya wanted to exchange cultivation experiences regarding the Laws of Darkness with you, and second, we wanted to invite you to participate in the upcoming matter." Milia and Beiya had been staying at Yelan Castle for over half a month, and now they were ready to leave.

However, before departing, Milia extended an invitation to Luo Ya.

"What matter?" Luo Ya was somewhat curious; with Milia's current strength, what could possibly require his involvement?

"I want to subdue a unique Saint Realm Magic Beast. That Saint Realm Magic Beast's strength is quite extraordinary, far stronger than Aoni." Aoni was the name of Milia's black dragon partner.

The black dragon race itself only belonged to the ninth-rank magic beast tier; for Aoni to advance to the Saint Realm already made her a true 'Black Dragon Queen'. However, for powerhouses who had reached the level of Milia and Luo Ya, even a Saint Realm black dragon could hardly provide much help in battle.

"A unique magic beast? How unique?" Hearing this, Luo Ya couldn't help but become interested.

"It's a big guy I discovered on Qianyan Island. It should be a creature evolved from a gargoyle, and it's very intelligent..." Gargoyles were considered an extremely special race on the continent.

Their bodies were composed of hard rock, their height and build were roughly equivalent to humans, but their facial features were extremely abstract and ferocious, like those of an evil ghost, which was how they got the name gargoyle.

Gargoyles were creatures with immense strength and extremely strong defense; their power was even on par with Saint Realm dragons, but they had one weakness: their speed was relatively slow.

Even so, this gargoyle was already difficult enough to deal with.

However, what Luo Ya cared about right now was not the gargoyle, but this 'big guy' described by Milia.

"This big guy has a steel-like, hard body nearly ten meters tall. His strength and defense are many times stronger than an ordinary gargoyle."

"And I discovered that he seems to have comprehended some kind of profound mystery. The power of a single punch from him can easily shatter a small mountain..." After hearing Milia's detailed description, Luo Ya's heart skipped a beat.

This thing, wasn't it an Earth Giant?

"Milia, when did you discover this 'big guy'?" Luo Ya, who had been indifferent before, instantly became interested.

In the countless planes, various unique lifeforms were born.

Such as metal lifeforms, plant lifeforms, etc. Among them, races like 'Volcano Giant' and 'Earth Giant' were extremely rare and possessed immense individual strength.

It could even be said that Earth Giants were more precious than many divine beasts.

"I remember that in the original work, a Volcano Giant who had cultivated to the 'Asura' level appeared in Hell; I think his name was Pusiluo... If I could subdue this Earth Giant..." Luo Ya didn't dare hope that this Earth Giant could reach the level of that 'Pusiluo', but at the very least, it would be a 'little brother' with great potential.

Even if he were to venture into the Supreme Plane and Divine Plane in the future, this 'little brother' might be able to help out quite a bit.

"I only discovered it not long ago. This big guy shouldn't have been born for very long. If he cultivates for a longer time, I estimate his strength will continue to improve significantly," Milia replied without hesitation.

Because the strength of this 'big guy' was truly astonishing, even the current Milia did not have absolute confidence, which was why she thought of inviting Luo Ya to participate.

Luo Ya's profound mystery of 'Devour' might exert some miraculous effects when fighting such a relatively slow and 'clumsy' big guy.

"Since that's the case, count me in this time." Luo Ya hadn't planned on going out in the near future, but if there was an opportunity to subdue an 'Earth Giant' with astonishing potential, he was very willing to participate.

"Then let's set off early. Your place is quite a distance from that Qianyan Island." Hearing Luo Ya accept her invitation, the corners of the golden-haired girl's mouth couldn't help but lift slightly.

In fact, her main purpose for coming this time was to invite Luo Ya.

All three of them had spatial rings, so they didn't need to carry any extra items and set off that very day.

"Skree!"

With a high-pitched phoenix cry, in the high sky outside Yelan Castle, a massive avian creature with wings spanning over a hundred meters, wreathed in black flames, quickly sped toward the distant east.

The flight speed of the Hellfire Phoenix was far faster than that of a black dragon, so this time the three of them were all riding on the back of Ignis.

Time passed rapidly as the Hellfire Phoenix easily crossed over the skies of various towering mountains and ridges; during this time, the three would occasionally admire the natural wonders of jagged rocks below.

Although the Valen Material Plane had two continents, the east and the west, the area that actually occupied the largest portion was the sea.

The combined territory of the seven great oceans definitely exceeded seventy percent of the entire plane.

And within these seven great oceans, there were many islands standing like stars in the sky.

Qianyan Island was located on the Kul Tiras Sea near the Western Continent.

To reach Qianyan Island, they had to first cross through the Dark Alliance, the Kalim Empire, and the Parosi Empire before they could finally see the vast Kul Tiras Sea, so the distance was indeed not short.

Of course, if one were riding a Saint Realm flying magic beast mount, the speed would not be slow at all. For example, the Wind Forbidden Island where Milia originated was actually also located in a place on the sea called the 'Broken Isles'.

"Whoosh, whoosh--"

The icy air currents high within the clouds did not affect the three people on the back of the Fire Phoenix in the slightest; they even had the leisure to continue their own cultivation.

Before they knew it, the time of sunset had arrived, with crimson clouds covering nearly half the sky and casting a red glow over the entire earth.

Not far from the three, outside a city named Iris City, a desperate crisis was unfolding as a massive horde of Magic Beasts laid siege to the walls.

Among all the attacking Magic Beasts, the most eye-catching was undoubtedly a giant dragon over a hundred meters long, with massive, crystal-clear wings sprouting from its flanks and scales that resembled blood-colored jade.

Saint Realm Magic Beast—Blood Jade Crystal Dragon!

Unlike the Black Dragon race, whose inherent racial rank is only level nine, the Blood Jade Crystal Dragon is a genuine Saint Realm Magic Beast species; any adult Blood Jade Crystal Dragon possesses strength that is truly formidable!

However, at this moment, this massive creature was being intercepted outside the city by a man with fiery red hair.

Clearly, this man with fiery red hair was also a Saint Realm powerhouse of considerable strength.
