Long Chen himself was stunned. That day, the giant of the Stone Spirit Clan had cracks all over his arm, as if it might explode at any moment.
Unable to defeat this powerful giant, he activated the power of the Chaos Pearl. Originally, he wanted to prove his own strength to him, to tell him that if he could defeat him among peers, although it might be cheating, the Chaos Pearl was still his strength.
But he hadn't expected such severe consequences. This terrifying Tianshi Spirit Clan expert nearly had his arm shattered.
"Is your arm okay?" Long Chen hurriedly said.
"Master, don't worry, I'm fine." That day, the giant of the Stone Spirit Clan, as he spoke, the runes on his arm seemed to come alive, swirling back and forth on his arm, and soon the cracks on his arm disappeared.
Seeing that he was unharmed, Long Chen felt relieved, and at the same time, he was increasingly shocked by the power of the Chaos Pearl.
You have to understand, right now, he can't control the power of the Chaos Pearl. He must summon someone else's power to alert it, and only then will it fight back.
Back on the Tianwu Continent, Long Chen activated the power of the Ling Tian bracelet, but the Chaos Pearl struck with a single strike, killing him without even a chance to resist.
Just now, Long Chen had unleashed the power of the giant from the Tianshi Spirit Clan, which also triggered the Chaos Pearl's counterattack. Long Chen secretly felt relieved—thanks to the giant's power, it had no ill intent. The Chaos Pearl had simply knocked it away. Otherwise, in its rage, the Chaos Pearl might have killed the giant.
Long Chen knew very little about the Chaos Pearl. The mysterious pearl obtained in the Jiuli Secret Realm of the Mortal Realm seemed to hide endless secrets.
"Wait, Jiuli Secret Realm, Jiuli Immortal Script?" Jiuli tribe? Could it be ...?" Long Chen's heart suddenly raced. Could the Chaos Pearl be connected to the mysterious Jiuli Clan?
Long Chen had encountered many ancient immortal texts. Other texts were obscure and difficult to understand, but learning the Jiuli immortal scripts was extremely easy. Perhaps there was some connection between them.
"Master, please plant the mark." The giant of the Tianshiling Clan saw the sudden look of shock and doubt on Long Chen's face and spoke.
"No need, I trust you." Only then did Long Chen come back to his senses and shook his head.
Looking at this simple giant, Long Chen suddenly thought of Aman. He felt sorry for him—he had been tricked here, slept for so long, yet still kept his promise. Foolish enough to make a heartache, almost rivaling Aman.
"No, that's part of the promise. You planted the mark, and I'll step in for you once in the future. Only then will the promise end." The giant shook his head.
Long Chen rolled his eyes. This guy really is a member of the Stone Spirit clan—his head is full of stone, and he can't turn at all.
Moreover, Long Chen already knew his temperament. Without planting the mark, he wouldn't listen to Long Chen. Not wanting to waste time with him, Long Chen planted the soul mark when he took the initiative to open his soul.
"This ..."
When Long Chen planted the soul imprint, the giant of the Tianshiling Clan was stunned, a look of disbelief appearing in his eyes.
"You trust me, and I trust you too. This is an equal contract. Your life is in my hands, and mine can be in yours too." Long Chen said with a smile.
The contract he planted allowed their souls to connect, allowing them to kill each other—an ultimate form of trust.
"Thank you." That day, the giant of the Tianshiling Clan knelt on one knee and performed an ancient salute to Long Chen—the highest respect of the Tianshi Spirit Clan.
"Alright, let's not be so formal. From now on, don't call me 'Master'—it's too awkward to hear.
Although you've lived countless years, you've experienced so little, so I won't be polite. From now on, just call me Third Brother. Long Chen patted his chest and boasted shamelessly.
"Third Brother,"
the giant from the Stone Spirit Clan was obedient that day and directly acknowledged him as big brother.
Being called 'Third Brother' by someone so terrifying made even Long Chen feel incredibly proud.
"What's your name?"
"I don't have a name yet. After I was born, my clan members sent me out for training. Once I have condensed the Wang Jing, I need to return to our clan and be given a name by the clan leader.
However, not long after I came out to train, I met Ying Lu, and after losing a bet with him, I stayed here.
Actually, I really want to go home, miss my parents. After so many years apart, they must be very worried. The giant lowered his head, speaking sadly. At this moment, he didn't look like a strong man at all, but more like a lost child. The longing in his eyes was heartbreaking.
"Don't be afraid. Once we're out of here, I'll help you get home." Long Chen patted his chest and said.
At the same time, he also looked down on that Xinghe Sect expert named Yinglu. This guy bullying such an honest man was utterly shameless.
"Come on, don't resist. I'll bring you into my soul space and take you out." Long Chen said.
The giant nodded without resistance. Their soul power connected, and suddenly the giant's voice vanished. When it reappeared, it had already entered Long Chen's soul space.
Long Chen's soul space was vast as the sea, boundless and boundless. In the distance stood a towering gate, which even with the giant body of the Tianshi Spirit Clan, it seemed so insignificant before that gate.
Inside the giant gate, a star was flickering—it was the Shenguan Star. When he saw the Shenguan Star, the giant suddenly said, "
I think I've seen this star somewhere before."
This time it was Long Chen's turn to be shocked. He hurriedly asked, "Where have you seen it before?" "
Let me think, it seems to be ... By the way, above the statue's head, there is a star map showing a star that seems somewhat similar to this star. The giant said.
Long Chen was overjoyed. It seemed the statue itself was a spatial world, and now they were below the statue, and above it was also a space.
This giant from the Heavenly Stone Spirit Clan possesses the innate divine ability of the Heavenly Eye, which can see through space. In its eyes, the world is almost transparent, so the people of the Galaxy Sect call it the Heavenly Stone Spirit.
Hearing this, Long Chen was overjoyed and hurried out of the arena. Luo Bing and the others heard thunderous explosions in their ears, because although the massive dome above was held up by four pillars, stones kept falling, as if it might collapse at any moment. They hadn't even heard Long Chen's later conversation with the giant of the Tianshi Spirit Clan.
Seeing Long Chen return unharmed, and the giant of the Stone Spirit Clan vanishing that day, everyone was about to ask when Long Chen spoke up directly:
"Hurry, this place is collapsing."
Everyone rushed forward along the passage. As soon as they entered, a tremor shook behind them, and the massive arena vanished.
It turned out this arena was an independent space. Because it had been neglected for countless years, it was severely damaged. When the giant collided, the space began to collapse. Without the giant's power, it immediately collapsed.
Long Chen led the group and dashed all the way to the statue's belly, but he didn't see the staircase leading to the head.
"There's an invisible door on the left. Open it and you'll get up there." The giant said to Long Chen from within his soul space.
