Chapter 576: Giant Spirit Law

"Oh, weren't you quite the tough guy a moment ago? All swagger when you were showing off, but now that you're taking a beating, your bravado is gone. You're quite something, aren't you?"

Faced with Lingyao's mockery, the big guy could only grit his teeth, enduring the pain and letting out continuous pained roars.

This time, however, Xu Yang gave no command to stop, allowing Shi Lingyun to play her magnificent, wave-like melody to her heart's content, without any reservations.

Embarrassingly, the music hadn't even finished when the big guy's massive head was pulverized, demonstrating the sheer power of Shi Lingyun's sonic waves.

As these two swift exchanges concluded, most of the Giant Spirits behind them ceased their movements. They clearly understood that the three individuals before them were truly not to be trifled with. Their disorganized ranks, each with their own weaknesses, would only be needlessly sacrificed, serving no purpose.

"Boss, these humans are quite strong. What should we do now?"

After the voice spoke, the large figure at the end of the black cave merely smiled coldly: "If we can't defeat them, let them enter. We'll show them the power of our Giant Spirit Clan's ultimate self-detonation formation!"

Xu Yang scoffed, "Don't keep relying on such trivial shows of force; they won't affect us in the slightest!"

Moments later, all the scattered Giant Spirits parted, creating a path for Xu Yang and his two companions to proceed. They quickly arrived at the entrance of the black cave.

Indeed, the so-called "ultimate guardian formation" was designed to violently agitate one's internal bloodline, driving it into a frenzy.

While the formation certainly had some effect, for near-god-level cultivators like Xu Yang and his companions, their formidable inherent power completely suppressed the agitated bloodline, rendering the formation practically useless.

It was like a long-distance runner who, after a long period of inactivity, suddenly decides to move; even a 'starved camel is bigger than a horse,' meaning they would still be far stronger than an average person.

Given Xu Yang and his companions' bloodline strength and physical resilience, even if their internal bloodline power spiraled completely out of control, it was unlikely to cause their bodies to self-destruct. Their capacity for enduring power was simply beyond the comprehension of these Giant Spirits, who had lived secluded in deep valleys for years.

*Rumble!*

Xu Yang suddenly raised his hand, shattering the energy barrier outside the black cave.

"Let's go. Let's see what other creative tricks they have in store for us inside."

Xu Yang's complete lack of apprehension truly disheartened the cultivators standing in rows outside.

The Giant Spirit lineage had never endured such humiliation. In front of Xu Yang's team, they seemed to have absolutely no standing.

The dark cave wasn't necessarily wide, but its expansive horizontal area could perfectly accommodate even the massive bodies of Giant Spirits.

Soon, countless enormous black spiders rapidly emerged from both walls, immediately sensing and converging on Xu Yang and his companions.

In this environment, Xu Yang and his companions found no species encounter to be out of the ordinary.

Within moments, these highly venomous black spiders clung to the ground in front of Xu Yang and his companions, forming a unique sealing pattern.

"Oh no... This is the Ancient Spider Blood Formation. It's said to alter one's bloodline attributes. Everyone, be extremely careful!"

Without hesitation, Xu Yang unleashed his Phoenix Domain. The purest flame energy rapidly descended, and in mere moments, the cave's temperature drastically soared.

Not only was this the continent's most potent source of fire-attribute power, but even ordinary flames would have a suppressive effect on these venomous spiders.

As expected, soon after the flames intensified, vast numbers of spiders before them were incinerated into ash.

The path ahead cleared once more, but Xu Yang and his companions had lost all desire to proceed. The spiders, reduced to ash, emitted a foul, decaying odor with potent mental corrosive effects.

"What? Can't take it already? Then I must tell you, soon your pathetic teammate will become even more terrifying than these black spiders! I will drain all his bloodline power and make him fight you as a skeletal husk. That should be quite entertaining!"

Xu Yang's expression instantly turned glacial. "You... can try."

*Zing!*

An incredibly piercing sword cry suddenly erupted. The Asura Divine Sword emitted a familiar turquoise blue sword light that the two goddesses recognized. Infused with the power of Asura from the Sea God Domain, it unleashed a surging aura capable of devouring everything.

This sword energy resembled an endless, surging tidal wave, tearing through everything in its path with overwhelming force. The entire cave vibrated violently from the impact, as if on the verge of collapse at any moment.

"Boss, save me!"

Sensing Xu Yang's exceptionally familiar sword energy fluctuations, Long Kun immediately cried out for help from deep within the cave.

The next moment, two intensely powerful silver divine lights burst forth from Xu Yang's eyes. His immensely powerful, materialized spiritual energy instantly expanded, causing the entire cave to radiate a brilliant glow under the illumination of his gaze.

"Move!"

Lingyao and Shi Lingyun rose simultaneously, charging toward Long Kun's imprisoned location. Along the way, a dozen Giant Spirits swarmed them, attempting to stop the two goddesses, but their strength proved woefully inadequate.

*Rumble!*

Everywhere they passed, Lingyao's destructive sword light, combined with Shi Lingyun's materialized spiritual power, swept through like two descending goddesses of slaughter. Any opponent who dared to block their path met only one fate: utter destruction!

At that moment, the Giant Spirit leader who had initially boasted of detaining Xu Yang and his companions was in utter panic, even regretting his earlier harsh words.

It's worth noting that Xu Yang had yet to see the Giant Spirit leader's true face, or perhaps, the leader wasn't even present in this location.

"Long Kun, are you alright?"

Lingyao and Shi Lingyun quickly reached the formation imprisoning Long Kun. The two goddesses simultaneously unleashed immense foundational energy, intending to rescue him at once. However, they found their power simply absorbed, like striking a sponge, with no effect whatsoever—not even a hint of feedback.

"What's happening?"

Lingyao and Shi Lingyun exchanged bewildered glances until Xu Yang approached, directly thrusting the Asura Sword into the formation sealing Long Kun.

As the formation began to fluctuate, Long Kun let out a pained roar...

"No, stop quickly! This formation must have been imbued with the Giant Spirit Law!"
