Chapter 477: The Rock Giant!

"This is... a Rock Giant!"

Ling Feng's eyes twitched. This creature stood at least three zhang[1] tall, with a body covered in grayish-brown hues. Its robust figure had lines that seemed sculpted with distinct contours. If it remained motionless, anyone would think it was a masterpiece carved by a skilled artisan.

Ling Feng had heard of such unique beings existing in the Sea-Blue Abyss but never thought he would actually encounter one.

Unlike the Earth-Fire Flame Demon he had previously faced, this Rock Giant did not have blazing flames. However, its terrifying aura was nearly suffocating.

The Rock Giant was immensely tall and its facial expression was somewhat vacant, yet its blood-red eyes added a hint of ferocity to it. Ling Feng took a deep breath, his hand gripping the Eradicator of Realms slightly sweaty as he sensed that the Rock Giant's aura had reached the Spiritual Element Realm.

But that wasn't the most terrifying part. The Rock Giant's physical strength and defense were far superior to ordinary Spiritual Element Realm experts. Moreover, it seemed to be an elemental life form, like the Earth-Fire Flame Demon, with no apparent weaknesses.

"Zifeng!"

Ling Feng immediately summoned Zifeng through his thoughts. The creature quickly noticed the massive stone figure. Initially, its eyes lit up, but it soon lost interest.

"Unfortunately, this elemental life form isn't as useful as the Earth-Fire Flame Demon from last time; otherwise, I would have used it for another molting rebirth."

Zifeng's complaint shattered Ling Feng's hope, as he had thought Zifeng would be interested in this elemental life form.

"Since you're not interested, I'll use it to test my skills!"

Ling Feng licked his dry lips, his eyes gleaming with determination.

"Kid, are you sure about this? This Rock Giant, though only equivalent to a fifth-tier demonic beast, possesses astonishing brute strength. If it hits you once, you might lose half your life," the despicable donkey said with a mischievous grin. "Why not let this divine beast handle it, and you give me the Five Elements Heavenly Palace in return?"

"No need for your concern." Ling Feng raised an eyebrow. The Rock Giant was indeed nearly invincible and incredibly strong, but it had a significant weakness: it was slow!

With his Boundless Sword Steps, the Rock Giant would have no chance of hitting him. Besides, Ling Feng wanted to use this creature to test his newly learned move, Earth's Judgment!

Boom!

During Ling Feng and the despicable donkey's conversation, the Rock Giant had not stopped moving. In the blink of an eye, it reached Ling Feng and swung the massive stone pillar in its hand towards him.

Bang!

The sword strike caused the ground to shake violently. The Rock Giant was driven into the ground with its lower body buried. A shockwave radiated outward, causing rocks to tumble down the canyon walls.

Ling Feng's right arm trembled slightly as he looked at the Rock Giant in surprise. He had expected his strike to shatter the giant's head, but the creature's resilience was astonishing. It had managed to divert the force into the ground.

"Huff..."

Ling Feng shook his arm. The Rock Giant's body was too hard, and the recoil had left his right side numb.

Rumble! The ground shook again as the Rock Giant burst forth, leaping high into the air. Its gray-black body exuded a terrifying aura like a mighty demon god.

"Roar!" The Rock Giant howled at the sky, swinging its pillar down at Ling Feng with such destructive force that it tore space and formed black vortices.

"I'll have to use Earth's Judgment!"

Ling Feng took a deep breath and launched himself from the ground, charging at the Rock Giant.

His eyes gleamed with determination. At that moment, his entire body exploded with power.

Boom!

The longsword and the pillar clashed again. Ling Feng twisted in mid-air, deflecting the giant's brute force. Using his speed, he swept his sword towards the Rock Giant's neck.

Boom! The terrifying force sent the Rock Giant flying into a mountain, creating a massive crater. Yet, the creature quickly rebounded, seemingly unscathed.

However, Ling Feng hovered above with wings of true qi spread behind him, a cold smile on his face.

Surrounded by silver true qi, his aura had reached its peak.

Finally, he emotionlessly uttered, "Earth's Judgment!"
