Chapter 1171: Giant’s Memories

Ku Wei was smashed against the stone fence with a loud bang, and he once again spat out another mouthful of blood. His vision grew blurry, and he tried to move his fingers, but he had lost his sense of touch. In front of him, the ground trembled and dust whirled as a guardian giant walked over. The creature mercilessly raised its foot to stomp Ku Wei to death.

Ku Wei refused to die here, and he gritted his teeth as he let out a low roar in defiance, Move, move, move, body! You have to move!

The giant's foot fell down, but just as it was about to touch Ku Wei, his body suddenly grew larger. Twice, thrice, ten times, and then a hundred times. Eventually, his body grew to the same size as the guardian giant, forcing it to retreat several steps.

The numerous guardian giants around Ku Wei all looked at him, unable to comprehend what had just happened. None of them moved, and even the guardian giant who had attacked Ku Wei first remained still as it stared at Ku Wei in confusion.

Kui Wei blinked and looked down. What's going on? Why did these guardian giants get smaller? No, wait…

When he looked at the pool of blood in front of him, Ku Wei suddenly realized that he was the one who had grown larger.

Looking down at his hands, Ku Wei stood up with a dumbfounded expression. He had really become much bigger, and he was suddenly as big as the guardian giants. What had just happened?

When he looked around, he saw that the landscape had completely changed. What used to be gigantic oversized stone huts now looked like ordinary houses to him.

Ku Wei was completely confused, but then he realized that he had turned into a guardian giant himself.

Upon realizing this, Ku Wei clenched his fist before looking over at a guardian giant that was slowly approaching him. He could not help himself from raising a hand and pushing the giant.

The guardian giant looked at Ku Wei with a bewildered expression.

Ku Wei blinked innocently and patted the giant’s shoulder in a friendly manner.

The guardian giant did not respond, and instead continued walking forward with a dull expression.

Kui Wei was shocked. The giant had taken him as one of their own. Let's try again, he thought as he raised a foot and kicked the giant’s behind. The guardian giant roared in anger as it fell to the ground. When it stood back up, it raised its hammer to retaliate, but Ku Wei was a step ahead of the giant. He grabbed the hammer and then pointed at it with a finger: Finger Tap.

When Ku Wei used Finger Tap, something unimaginable occurred. He began to shrink back to his normal size of a regular human. Once the transformation finished, his head felt like it was splitting, and everything around him was gigantic once again.

He was terrified, and he hurriedly tried to escape, but the guardian giant did not attack. Perhaps Ku Wei had gotten some giant’s blood on him and covered up his smell, or perhaps there was some other reason. In any case, the giant did not attack him.

From above, a huge hammer fell down. Kui Wei screamed and raced out of the way, but his physical and mental strength were already spent.

After looking around and ascertaining a path to safety, he leaped up and shot off into the distance.

Ku Wei felt confident that he could transform back into a guardian giant and gain the strength of a giant. However, he also knew that his transformation time was brief and that using any battle technique would reduce that time even further. On top of that, the battle techniques would be more physically exhausting than normal.

Despite this, the mere fact that he could transform into a guardian giant made Ku Wei very excited.

He was different from the regular guardian giants. Once he managed to extend his transformation time to an appropriate length, he would be able to utilize an unimaginable strength to execute his battle techniques.

The more Kui Wei thought about this, the more excited he became. He had a feeling that he was the true winner of this trip to Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum.

Elsewhere, Lu Yin arrived at a strange place with Hui Santong leading the way.

Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum had been built within a dark dome, and in this dome, for as far as the eye could see, everything was black. The earth, the water, and even the creatures were black, except for the guardian giants.

The three youths had just arrived in a strange place filled with many bubbles.

These bubbles constantly floated out of the ground, slowly gained altitude, and then burst at the highest point. They were like normal bubbles that moved opposite the normal direction.

"What kind of place is this?" Lu Yin asked curiously.

Hui Santong sighed. "Progenitor Chen's clone used this place to store his memories."

Lu Yin was confused.

Hui Santong did not give any more explanations, instead leaping straight into a bubble. The bubble did not break, and after entering, Hui Santong sat down inside it as it slowly rose to the highest altitude before shattering. After the bubble popped, he immediately rushed into another bubble.

The entire process looked extremely bizarre to Lu Yin. On the other hand, Lei Nü had already rushed forward and also entered a bubble.

Lu Yin did not want to wait around any longer, and he instantly moved into a bubble as well. Once he sat down, his vision suddenly changed as his mind seemed to have been transported to a far off place, possibly crossing both space and time. He then saw a man in front of him brandish a saber while rushing towards him.

Lu Yin was so shocked that he raised a hand and tried to use Vacuum Palm, only to find that, instead of using Vacuum Palm, he had casually slapped the man's attack aside and cleaved him in two.

Lu Yin was surprised; was this not his own body?

At this time, a beautiful woman with an icy expression appeared across from Lu Yin. "Xia Shang, you actually took in the giants’ bloodline? You have fallen too low! The sect has issued an arrest warrant for your capture. Come with me."

Lu Yin could see a deep chill in the woman's eyes as well as a tinge of excitement. He observed 'his' body to see how it would react.

‘He’ reached out to slap the woman.

The woman grew furious. "You dare to fight back? Your Xia family isn’t afraid of being exterminated by the sect?"

She then raised her own hand and threw an orb out that quickly grew a hundredfold larger as it neared him.

Lu Yin was able to feel the power within the orb, and it definitely surpassed a power level of 400,000.

The body he was possessing suddenly grew hundreds of times larger, and it seized the orb before throwing it straight back towards the woman, terrifying her.

"No!" With a loud bang, the earth broke open while mountains and forests were razed and the void warped. The woman was blasted into millions of pieces that were sent flying in different directions. More people rushed forward to surround him, their eyes filled with hate.

‘He’ then raised his hand up into the sky before slamming it down on the ground. At the same time, nine lined battle force appeared and shrouded the gigantic body, radiating an intense pressure.

Lu Yin's fighting spirit soared.

This is how one should be: domineering.

Suddenly, his vision changed once again, and Lu Yin slowly descended. The bubble that he had entered had popped.

At that moment, Xie Xiaoxian and Shu Jing both appeared in the distance.

Xie Xiaoxian looked at Lu Yin and gritted her teeth, but she quickly revealed a smile. "Seventh Bro, you put this little sister through a lot. If not for my power vessel, I would have died to that person from the Specter Clan."

Lu Yin replied, "Why does your power vessel contain death energy? Does it have something to do with the Specter Clan?"

Xie Xiaoxian looked at him flirtatiously. "Take a guess."

To the side, Shu Jing looked at the bubbles in surprise. "What’s this?"

Xie Xiaoxian could not be bothered to reply to him.

At this moment, Hui Santong dropped down from the sky. He looked at Lu Yin before shifting his gaze to Xie Xiaoxian and Shu Jing. "This place contains the enlightenment achieved by Progenitor Chen's clone. Since the Neohuman Alliance has infiltrated Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum, we can't all meditate in these bubbles at the same time. Let's do it like this: we'll take turns standing guard. If we spot those two from the Neohuman Alliance, we'll immediately wake the others."

"Ok," Lei Nü agreed the moment she landed.

Lu Yin nodded. Nobody knew what Silver might be planning, as that person was simply too conniving. Even though Lu Yin had broken through to the Hunter realm and was much stronger than before, he still felt that Silver was a threat. Additionally, Silver was carrying that Shaman God’s doll with him, which would be very troublesome for Lu Yin to deal with.

Xie Xiaoxian and Shu Jing also agreed to the proposal.

"Each person will stand guard for half a day, after which the next person will take over. I’ll go first," Hui Santong said. He then looked over at Lei Nü with obvious intentions. Lei Nü was holding him back, and he was petty enough to want her to go next. Although this place held the memories of Progenitor Chen’s clone, the chance of truly receiving any enlightenment was minuscule.

The bubbles in this place contained memories of Progenitor Chen’s clone’s life, but most of them were not very useful.

Lei Nü agreed.

Hui Santong then looked at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin nodded. "Okay, I'll go third."action

Xie Xiaoxian looked over at Shu Jing and said, "Why don't you be a gentleman for once."

"Okay," Shu Jing answered indifferently.

Once the order was decided, Hui Santong said, "Time is limited, so you guys should move out now."

After he finished speaking, the others all rushed toward the bubbles.

There were larger bubbles and smaller ones. Although there was no correlation between the size and how enlightening the memories inside were, everyone still scrambled to enter the larger ones, even if only because they were more comfortable to sit in.

Shu Jing moved in a straight line towards the largest bubble, but Lu Yin still beat him to it. Shu Jing’s speed was no match for Lu Yin’s.

Since he was unable to match Lu Yin's speed, Shu Jing had no choice but to make his way towards another bubble.

After Lu Yin entered the bubble, he watched as his vision transformed once again. He once again took on the viewpoint of Progenitor Chen's clone, and before him was a person ruthlessly rushing towards him. After that person grabbed a hold of Progenitor Chen's clone, the clone retaliated by raising a hand to fight the person off.

Lu Yin felt that something was amiss when he looked below him and saw mountains and rivers beneath him. He was surprised to discover that he was actually seeing things from the point of view of a giant and that the figure before him was actually a guardian giant. It was no wonder why things had not felt right; they were two giants competing for power.

Progenitor Chen's clone did not use any battle techniques, and instead, he used an elbow to knock the guardian giant over before letting out a fierce roar and glaring at the rest of the guardian giants.

Another giant stepped forward before leaping up with a raised fist that smashed down.

Progenitor Chen's clone retreated half a step with his left foot, but then he spun around and kicked to the side with his right leg, blasting away the guardian giant that was still in mid air. The clone then raised his fists high in the air and roared victoriously.

The other nearby guardian giants also started shaking.

Soon, another guardian giant stepped forward and raised a hand, fist already clenched. Then, layers of battle force covered the body of the guardian giant. It was nine lined battle force!

The giant covered with nine lined battle force seemed to grow a bit larger as it hurled a fist at Progenitor Chen's clone.

Progenitor Chen's clone huge body had not mastered nine lined battle force yet, as his battle force had only reached eight lines. He was forced ten thousand meters back by the challenger, and the clone tore through the earth apart as he stumbled back.

The guardian giant followed up with a savage kick, sending Progenitor Chen's clone flying away. The clone spat out a mouthful of blood, and then he looked up to see the opposing guardian giant high above him, aggressively hammering down with yet another attack.

Progenitor Chen's clone roared, and his eight lined battle force actually broke through to nine lines. He ruthlessly clashed with the challenger as the earth shattered.

Suddenly, Lu Yin opened his eyes and fell down from the sky once again. It was unfortunate that he had not managed to see the end of that battle.

These bubbles should record the journey and growth of Progenitor Chen’s clone, Lu Yin thought. He then looked to the distance where Hui Santong was quietly standing watch.
