83: rock giant

Two hours later.

It was calm and quiet, with no one else coming to disturb them; the group had picked the medicinal herbs almost clean.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Run! There's a powerful Yao Beast guarding this place."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Everyone quickly took to the air. Jiang Ye immediately flew down to provide backup, and he saw a terrifying scene.

"Holy crap! Keep flying forward, I'll cover the rear!" The mountain before him was writhing; some kind of unknown monster was about to reveal itself!

Soon, a massive Rock Giant crawled out from within the mountain.

"You ants! How dare you pick all the medicinal herbs? You can stay here forever!" With a body like a small mountain, the Rock Giant chased after Jiang Ye and the others at high speed.

Jiang Ye saw the giant getting closer and closer. There was no other way! The giant's Aura was too strong; he had to block it, or everyone else would be finished.

"Keep flying forward! I'll hold it back!"

Jiang Luo said, "You're crazy! This monster is stronger than anyone you've ever met before."

"Don't worry! It can't do anything to me. Run quickly and wait for me up ahead."

The giant flew closer and saw Jiang Ye standing in the air. "A tiny ant dares to block my path?"

"Divine Breath, gather!" The Aura on Jiang Ye's body suddenly changed drastically. A powerful energy instantly converged upon him, making it seem as if he had established a connection with heaven and earth.

"Huh? What's going on with you?" the giant's booming voice asked.

"I'll shatter you with one strike! Heaven Shatterer!" Jiang Ye combined the first and second layers of the World-Defying God Slaying Art.

"What?!" The Rock Giant was shocked. This power was absolutely destructive; it couldn't withstand it! It shouted, "Kid! Wait, don't be impulsive! I have something good for you, something truly good! Stop this power first."

Just as Jiang Ye was about to strike, he asked, "What do you have for me?"

The giant said, "To be able to harness such powerful energy, you must have a special Physique. I sense the scent of the Fire Attribute on you, but it's not pure enough. Are you a Pure Yang Body?"

Jiang Ye was stunned; this was the first time someone had sensed his special Physique. "What are you trying to say?"

"Is your Pure Yang Body not yet fully Awakened? I have a treasure that can help you reach full Awakening quickly."

"What did you say? It can help me reach full Awakening?"

The Rock Giant reached out a hand, holding a large stone that was incredibly hot and emitting an extremely dazzling golden light.

"This is a solar divine stone. If you Cultivate beside it, your Pure Yang Body will definitely reach full Awakening within a month."

"Why are you helping me? What's the reason?"

The giant said, "I want you to take me out of here."

"I take you out? Can't you leave on your own?"

"I can't leave. Once I escape this space, I will instantly be reduced to ashes!"

"Then how am I supposed to take you out?"

"Fully Awaken your Pure Yang Body first, then I'll tell you!"

Jiang Ye was a bit suspicious. "You're not trying to control me, are you?"

"Sigh! I'll be blunt. Only when you've fully Awakened the Pure Yang Body and injected your powerful Pure Yang Qi into my body will I be able to Transform and not be rejected by the world outside."

"I see. Then do you know if there's any place here that can help other Martial Artists Breakthrough their Realms?"

The giant said, "You mean your companions who just ran away? They can just Cultivate near the Divine Stone with you, but they can only Cultivate there once. I can't guarantee how far they'll Breakthrough!"

"Why can they only Cultivate there once?"
