Chapter 43 The Stone Giant Carrying the Mountains on His Back
High in the sky, the boundless black clouds are dense and thick, rolling and surging like the ebb and flow of the ocean tide.
In the clouds, endless purple lightning shot out like rain and fell rapidly, and the sound of thunder was like countless drums beating at the same time.
"Boom~~Boom~~"
Under the dark clouds in the sky, a seven-color mountain range stretching for hundreds of miles shines with golden glow.
And in the center of these undulating mountains, there is a stone statue of a giant holding the sky embedded.
Rather than saying that the stone giant is nested in the mountains, it is better to say that the stone giant is carrying a rolling mountain on its back.
The upper body of this giant is nested in the mountains, and its feet are stepping on the void, standing thousands of feet above the ground.
His facial features showed a high-spirited and angry look, and he looked up to the sky, his expression revealing unyielding and stubbornness.
"Gululu~Gululu~"
The seven-color mountains are trembling every moment, and follow the laws of heaven's movement and slowly rotate at a speed that is difficult to see with the naked eye.
The sound like grinding with a millstone comes from the place where the seven-colored mountains and the giant's body meet.
"Hua La La~ Hua La La~"
The clear yet soul-shaking sound of pulling chains echoed between heaven and earth.
Nine illusory chains shining with golden white light hang down from the clouds, eight of which penetrate the neck, arms, waist, abdomen, legs, and feet of this giant stone statue.
The brightest and most dazzling invisible chain was left, penetrating from the center of the giant's eyebrows, firmly locking his Zifu Niwan Palace.
The pupils of the giant's eyes are one black and one white.
The black ones are like ink and a pool, and there seems to be endless ghosts struggling and wailing in the eyes.
The white ones are as silver as snow, and there are countless fanatical and pious faces shouting among them.
In addition to this abnormality, the giant's body is covered with the three energies of gold, white, and black, intertwining and intertwining with each other. Sometimes they disperse like the receding tide, and sometimes they gather and collapse, splitting and forming ravines on the giant's body.
Despite being bombarded by purple thunder all over the sky, the giant still kept his arms raised high and his fingers clenched into fists, fighting against the heaven and earth.
Due to the continuous lightning strikes, the void within hundreds of miles of the giant has already shown countless cracks like a broken mirror.
From time to time, various phenomena of heaven and earth can be seen appearing and disappearing in the surrounding void, and there are endless wind and fire, and cracks in space licking at the giant's body, bringing with it strands of stone debris.
In a radius of hundreds of miles around the giant, there are five pillars of vital energy of various colors with a diameter of a hundred feet hanging down between the sky and the earth, gathering and surrounding it.
At the top of the vitality pillars, you can see the spiritual energy all over the sky rolling outwards like clouds, fog, seas, and tides. The spiritual clouds emitted by the five vitality pillars intertwine with each other, forming seven-color clouds that roll across the sky.
Against the background of the seven-colored clouds, the scene of lightning striking in the clouds, the suppressed mountains, and the trapped stone giant waving his arms and shouting unyieldingly to the sky is like a picture that will forever be engraved in the hearts of all living beings who see this scene.
...
"Boom~Boom"
The electric light reflected the sky, and the thunder shook the sky.
Hundreds of miles away.
A small floating airship is hovering in the air. On the deck, hundreds of young practitioners with green faces are looking into the distance with trembling hearts.
Whether it was the bombardment of purple lightning like a torrential rain or the seven-color mountains blooming with golden clouds, they all brought a huge impact to the hearts of these young people who had just embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
Especially the giant stone statue that carried the mountains on its back and fought tenaciously against the power of Heaven made the young people feel so excited that they could not control themselves.
A girl with bright eyes and white teeth, with dozens of braids, resisted the shock in her heart and turned to look at a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance and a graceful demeanor beside her.
"Uncle Master, is this the legendary place where immortals die?"
The middle-aged man looked into the distance with a slightly dazed expression. Although it was not the first time he came here, each time he came here brought different feelings to his heart.
He sighed softly and inaudibly, and the middle-aged man's deep voice sounded in the ears of the surrounding disciples.
"Yes, this is the land of immortal death..."
After a brief pause, he continued:
"One hundred and twenty years ago, here, hundreds of immortals fought in the sky. At that time, the stars moved, the earth cracked and the rivers dried. In the end, five immortals died here."
The girl glanced at her uncle in confusion.
"But I heard that there were only thirty or so loose immortals fighting here at the beginning, and there were not hundreds of immortals?
Also, are the seven-color mountains really transformed by immortals?
Also, then...could that giant be Ruyizi, who is known as the best immortal in the world?"
The middle-aged man's expression froze, and then he said calmly:
"I'm just describing to you the intensity of that unprecedented battle. As for what the truth was at that time, we can only make guesses based on some historical records."
The girl Liu Ye raised her slender eyebrows and said with a smile:
"Uncle, please don't deceive us young people. After the Immortal Fall War, the 'Tiandao Sect' put forward the concept that cultivation should be in accordance with nature and destiny, while the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nan Sect' believed that the essence of cultivation is to defy nature and change fate.
, shouted the slogan that man can conquer nature.
These two ideals have their own supporters, and basically all sects and practitioners in the world are involved in this confrontation of ideas.
Because of this reason, the world of spiritual practice has been in chaos for nearly a hundred years, with as many sects destroyed and practitioners dead and injured as the sand in the vast ocean.
In the past ten or twenty years, because everyone in the spiritual world is tired of war, the wars between all parties have subsided somewhat.
These events are recorded in the Penglai Dibao every day, and no one in the world knows about them."
After saying that, the girl glanced at the middle-aged uncle with a playful look.
The middle-aged man smiled meaningfully and said lightly:
"Do you really think that the 'Tiandao Sect' and the 'Xiantian Yiqi South Sect' formed two camps and went to war because of their different ideas?"
The girl looked stunned and asked doubtfully:
"Is there any secret in this? Uncle Master, please tell us about it?"
The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the seven-color mountains in the distance and the giant sealed in the mountains. He did not answer for a long time, and then sighed for a long time:
"People who have not experienced that era will never understand what happened back then."
As if he remembered something, the middle-aged man's expression seemed a little uninterested. He didn't want to explain anything to these juniors.
What that incident back then brought to future generations was more than just a protracted war within the realm.
At this moment, a teenage disciple on the deck looked at the place where the void was cracking with a golden glow, suddenly stretched out his finger, and shouted:
"Hey~, look, there seems to be a person sitting in the air in front of the giant stone statue?"
As soon as these words came out, many new disciples around him became energetic and turned their heads to look into the distance.
Those with outstanding talents can even use their innate bloodline abilities to spy on them.
But the middle-aged man's expression changed drastically at this moment, and he shouted quickly:
"Don't look directly at me with your innate supernatural powers!"
But how could the speed of his words be compared to the speed of people's thoughts? In just this moment, at least seven people inspired their talents to look into the distance.
The next second...
"Ah~, my eyes!"
"Hi~, it hurts so much, I can't see in my eyes!"
"Oops, someone stabbed me with a needle!"
"..."
The middle-aged man couldn't help stamping his feet and shouted angrily:
"I told you in advance when I came here that you must not use your magical power to explore outside. Why did you forget to clean them all!"
There was no time to complain, so he swung his left hand outward, and a piece of white gauze flew out of his sleeve.
The white gauze grew in response to the wind, growing to hundreds of feet in one breath, and bloomed into a thin circle of white light, covering all the disciples.
The disciple who was the first to look into the distance with his supernatural power turned his head, his eyes filled with blood and tears, and shouted in horror:
"Uncle, my eyes, my eyes can't see anything..."
The middle-aged man sighed:
"Don't you hear that immortals and gods cannot look directly at them? How can your mortal bodies withstand the mighty power of immortals and gods themselves?"
