第三千五百三十二章 山岳巨猿与火焰巨人

With their divine movement speed, the few hundred miles were easily covered in an instant.

Before them, the scene suddenly opened up. A wave of heat hit their faces as they saw a vast lake of lava before their eyes.

On the surface of the lake, flashes of spiritual light appeared, with various colors of light shooting up into the air. Two enormous creatures were fiercely battling each other.

One was towering hundreds of feet high, and it was an immense ape with disproportionately long limbs. It had three strange horns protruding from its forehead that pointed upwards.

Its body surface also bore some intricate patterns that seemed like ancient runes, filled with mysterious and profound meanings.

"Mountain Giant Ape!"

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he immediately recognized this legendary true spirit.

True spirits were numerous, each with unique abilities. While the Mountain Giant Ape wasn't among the strongest, its bravery placed it in the top three without any doubt.

Moreover, considering its boundless strength, its overall combat power was formidable within the realm of true spirits.

Lin Xuan never imagined he would encounter a Mountain Giant Ape here.

However, the creature seemed vigorous and showed no signs of impending death. This place wasn't where true spirits were buried; why had the Mountain Giant Ape come here?

All that remained was astonishment.

Lin Xuan slowly turned his head to see another enormous creature standing nearby, facing off with the Mountain Giant Ape.

Both were towering hundreds of feet high, causing Lin Xuan to feel a sense of shock. Even with his composure, he couldn't help but take in a deep breath.

The vast world truly had no limits; it was a flame giant.

Not an ordinary giant, this creature's entire body was formed from extremely pure flames, without any flesh or bones. Its entire body was engulfed by intense heat.

Lin Xuan, with his extensive knowledge, had never seen such a spectacle before.

A naturally born fire spirit?

Even if the flames were highly intelligent, how could they form such a massive creature?

Today, Lin Xuan felt like he was broadening his horizons significantly.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan sensed the Phantom Heavenly Fire within him jumping with excitement. If not for his willpower suppressing it, it might have flown out on its own to attack that enormous flame.

It's no wonder this is a fire spirit; can the Phantom Heavenly Fire continue to advance by utilizing it?

Lin Xuan had insights as he realized both these massive creatures could be of great use—whether they were the Flame Giant or the Mountain Giant Ape. The former would help perfect the Phantom Heavenly Fire, while the latter would greatly benefit his True Spirit Sword Art.

But Lin Xuan didn't act rashly.

After all, though he was a mid-stage Golden Immortal cultivator with Mo'er's assistance, facing the Mountain Giant Ape wasn't something he could handle. He had no confidence in winning against it and might not even be able to escape if defeated.

Treasures were tempting, but one needed to have the means to use them.

Without any certainty, Lin Xuan wouldn’t act impulsively; waiting for an opportunity was a smarter choice.

Both of these massive creatures stood on the lava lake, yet they didn't seem bothered by its heat. The Flame Giant was understandable since it was already a fire spirit. However, the Mountain Giant Ape's defensive capabilities were impressive, and it was indeed one of the strongest true spirits.

Facing either would be challenging for Lin Xuan, so he remained hidden, waiting for an opportunity to act.

Wait, why are these two creatures facing each other?

Given their strength, they should have comparable intelligence. Without any conflict of interest, how could they possibly start fighting?

Lin Xuan quietly extended his divine sense, being extremely cautious not to be detected.

A roar echoed in his ears.

The Mountain Giant Ape was naturally a temperamental creature, and even as a true spirit, its temperament hadn't changed.

After prolonged confrontation, it seemed impatient. Raising its head, it pounded its fists together like drums, causing the ground to tremble with each movement.

Then, fierce light flashed from its eyes, and it opened its blood-red mouth.

A beam of light, about ten feet in diameter, shot out, surrounded by blue lightning. The impact was overwhelming.

This single strike could kill a cultivator at the early Golden Immortal stage.

As they say, a true name brings true strength; this saying applied to true spirits as well.

But the Flame Giant showed no fear and similarly opened its mouth, spewing a fireball the size of a small house. The heat was intense, trailing long flames like a meteorite, creating an astonishing spectacle.

Boom!

The two massive creatures were not far apart. Almost instantly, the beam of light collided with the fireball in mid-air.

Silent and invisible!

Then, the space ripples like water waves.

Tsunami of Flames!

It was impossible to describe the scene; black light, red glow, blue lightning intertwined, exploding loudly.

Everything in its path was shattered. Nearby mountain peaks were the biggest victims, seemingly evaporated rather than collapsing.

But Lin Xuan remained unaffected as he had left early enough.

No winner or loser!

The Flame Giant managed to block the Mountain Giant Ape's attack without any injuries.

Anger surged through the Mountain Giant Ape.

With a roar, it charged forward. As true spirits, they possessed immense strength, comparable to true dragons. Thus, their innate abilities weren't flashy spells but close combat.

Relying on its divine power alone was enough to win.

Lin Xuan's eyebrows twitched. He excelled in physical cultivation, his body far more resilient than those of his peers at the same stage, and he had even grasped the laws of strength.

But he dared not engage in close combat with the Mountain Giant Ape. As the other raised its fist, it wasn't just the law of strength; it was using this power to its utmost extent.

The void was pierced, and the force of this punch was... almost on par with aprimordial spirit treasure.

However, the Flame Giant didn't dodge but instead stood resolutely in front of it. Lin Xuan couldn’t help his pupils dilating. This… was too formidable.

There were creatures daring to engage in close combat with the Mountain Giant Ape. Even true dragons wouldn't do so unless absolutely necessary.

Boom!

A deafening sound echoed as this punch hit hard, piercing through the Flame Giant's chest.

But the other showed no signs of pain, acting like nothing had happened. Instead, it advanced another step and raised its hands high, raining down fist after fist on the ape.

Boom… Boom… Boom…

Each punch sent up a shower of flames.

The giant ape was forced to retreat a step. Lin Xuan could see that while the Flame Giant's punches weren't as powerful as the other’s, they had an added effect of fire.

Postscript: Today, my cousin returned home. We went out for dinner together. Tomorrow, I'll try harder. Although it might sound awkward, please consider giving me a recommendation vote!
