"Four of them are on the Heavenly Ranking!"
Ye Zhiqiu glanced into the distance, then said coldly, "They're all in the top thirty, too. The one in front is Huang Shilong, twenty-ninth on the Heavenly Ranking. His bloodline's tyrant body is exceptionally formidable. No, all six of these Giant Spirits are of that type-strong in defense, weak in offense.
"Judging by their height, they're all a hundred and ten zhang tall, so their bloodline power should be exceptionally strong. I think their aim is still to stop you from heading north and buy time."
The Foreign Races Heavenly Ranking was a list compiled by the Martial Discourse Tower, ranking the First-Rank experts of the Giant Spirits and Demon Race.
Its standard was the ability to contend with the Human Race's Heavenly Ranking.
Though the Giant Spirits and Demon Race had numerous First-Rank experts, only eighty-odd qualified for the Foreign Races Heavenly Ranking, which remained short of its full complement year after year.
Of course, this was also because the Giant Spirits occupied such vast territories.
Each of the Four Great Shenshan in the Central Lands ruled a territory five to six times the size of the humans' Divine Land. Many powerful Giant Spirits were obscure and unknown to the Martial Discourse Tower.
Its intelligence channels could not cover the entire Central Lands.
Another way to judge a Giant Spirit's strength was by their height.
Although this did not fully represent their strength, the taller and more robust a Giant Spirit grew, the further they had developed their bloodline.
Ye Zhiqiu had once seen the current Mount Buzhou Heavenly Emperor on Mount Buzhou.
He stood a hundred and twenty-five zhang tall. Supposedly, among Mount Buzhou's many First-Rank Giant Spirits, the Mount Buzhou Heavenly Emperor was the tallest.
