Chapter 489: The River of Earth Spirits

Lin Fan naturally didn’t believe the Tuling Changhe had discovered him—it probably only sensed him when he passed through the tunnel. Now that he was in stealth mode, Lin Fan truly doubted whether the Tuling Changhe could see through everything and detect his real form. Otherwise, wouldn’t all his efforts mastering invisibility be in vain?

At this moment, the Tuling Changhe floated silently in the void.

Lin Fan stared at the Tuling Changhe, completely fascinated. This was truly something he had never seen before.

Born from the heavens and earth, it was genuine earth essence. Although Lin Fan didn’t know exactly how long this Tuling Changhe had existed, the fact it had condensed into a river meant it was no ordinary object.

Back when he killed the Five Element Envoys, Lin Fan had realized that the Five Elements were the foundation of heaven and earth, and top-tier treasures indeed. Especially the foundation of the “Demon City,” besides the ancient great demons, it was also based on fake five elements, forming a unique formation.

If these fake five elements were replaced with the real ones, then above the Five Elements would be the Yin River and the Yang River.

With these elements, the “Demon City” would surely transform into a true divine artifact, dominating the world and surpassing all under the heavens.

“I’ve already discovered you. Stop hiding,” at this moment, the deep and heavy voice of the Tuling Changhe swept through once again. Accompanying it were countless earth spikes piercing through the air toward Lin Fan.

Puchi!

These sharp earth spikes, as if sensing Lin Fan’s position, rotated and flew toward him.

“Damn, did it really spot me?” Lin Fan’s expression changed instantly. His figure exposed, he raised his palm and shattered all the spikes.

Lin Fan originally thought the Tuling was bluffing him.

Roar!

The giants born from the Tuling Changhe roared toward Lin Fan and charged at him.

“Hey hey, let’s talk first. We’re all good friends. No need to fight right after meeting,” seeing the Tuling Changhe’s hostility, Lin Fan was somewhat speechless. Could it not show him a little respect?

“Peering at the Earth Spirit—deserving death,” the mid-level Azure Heaven-ranked giant roared furiously, its rough, bronze-colored giant hand reaching for Lin Fan.

Boom!

Lin Fan flashed aside, holding the Eternal Axe horizontally, appearing behind the giant. With one swing of the axe, he struck.

“Celestial Dome!”

Crack!

The giant’s head was instantly severed by Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was delighted. He hadn’t expected the mid-level Azure Heaven-ranked giant to be so easily defeated. But in an instant, his expression turned serious—the headless giant was regenerating a new head.

Pah!

Suddenly, a giant hand emerged from the ground, violently slamming toward Lin Fan.

“What the hell, this thing can’t be killed?!” Lin Fan was puzzled as he looked at the giant.

The stone-made giant could instantly regenerate no matter how severely it was damaged.

And the smaller giants around it fearlessly rushed toward Lin Fan. Even when Lin Fan chopped them into pieces with his axe, they reassembled again.

“Damn it, this is too much. Don’t think I’m afraid of you. Bring it on—fighting, who’s scared of whom?” Lin Fan sheathed the Eternal Axe into his bag. Since it was useless, he decided to rely on his physical body instead.

Boom!

Lin Fan stomped one foot, unleashing tremendous power. His entire body shot forward like a cannonball, crashing into the giant.

With his current physical strength, when fully unleashed, the power he generated was terrifying.

The giant’s fist was wrapped in a glowing aura—thick and heavy, weighing thousands of pounds. With one punch, the entire cave trembled.

“Hmph, you tiny giant, without any intelligence, what’s the point of having such strength? Taste my move!”

“Flower-Brushing and Chrysanthemum-Caressing Finger!”

Lin Fan pointed a single finger, unleashing a force that spread across the giant’s entire body.

Crack!

The giant shattered, collapsing into countless stone fragments. Yet in an instant, those fragments reassembled.

Roar!

Lin Fan curled his lips, showing disdain. The giant’s combat ability wasn’t strong, but its infinite regeneration ability was truly frustrating.

Lin Fan knew it was all caused by the Tuling Changhe.

“Tuling Changhe, you have subordinates protecting you, but let me see how you protect yourself,” Lin Fan didn’t want to keep fighting the giant. He shifted his target and charged fiercely toward the Tuling Changhe.

Lin Fan didn’t know exactly what the Tuling Changhe could do, but if he could capture it and throw it into his bag, he could study it carefully after leaving this place.

At this moment, a palm strike came like a storm, a giant hand attempting to seize the Tuling Changhe.

“Reckless!” The deep, heavy voice of the Tuling Changhe thundered like celestial lightning, shaking the cave.

Hualala…

The smaller giants disintegrated into countless stone fragments, which then flew toward the Tuling Changhe, reassembling in front of it into a thick earthen wall.

The powerful fist struck the bronze-colored earthen wall, sending ripples of light outward.

“How is this possible…” Lin Fan’s expression darkened. He hadn’t expected the protective wall to be this strong.

Although the punch shattered countless stones, they quickly reassembled.

The mid-level Azure Heaven-ranked giant struck again. Its five fingers, like five mountains, covered all of Lin Fan’s escape routes.

“Damn, I didn’t expect it to be this tough,” Lin Fan had nowhere to retreat. His blood boiled as he threw a punch to meet the attack.

“Who’s scared? Today, I won’t back down!”

Boom!

“Ouch, my mother.”

“Ding! Congratulations, your ‘Ancient Indestructible’ experience has increased by 1000.”

The giant’s palm strike was immensely powerful, sending Lin Fan flying backward, rolling several times.

Lin Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His ‘Blood Sea Cultivation’ technique activated, repairing his internal injuries.

Now that the ‘Blood Sea Cultivation’ had reached the ninth layer, the amount of essence blood required to advance further was astronomical. Currently, all the essence blood from the ancient beasts had been absorbed by the “Demon City” to repair itself.

For Lin Fan, reaching the ‘Blood Regeneration’ stage at the ninth layer of ‘Blood Sea Cultivation’ was already an incredibly powerful state. As for the next stage, although he didn’t know what it would be like, he preferred to make full use of the current resources.

“Come on! Let’s see who collapses first!” Lin Fan shouted at the giant before him.

“I’m going to crash you…”

Lin Fan moved like lightning. When he reappeared, he had already pierced through the giant’s body.

Clang!

Bronze-colored stone fragments scattered from the giant’s body. Then, suddenly, a yellowish earth glow emerged from the giant, and it reassembled once again.

Boom!

“Ding! Congratulations, your ‘Ancient Indestructible’ experience has increased by 1000.”

To Lin Fan, the system prompt sounded like heavenly music.

Although the giant couldn’t be defeated yet, Lin Fan could use it to gain experience and strengthen his physical body.

No one in the ancient world knew that deep underground, a shocking scene was unfolding.

A human and a giant were locked in fierce combat, each collision sending shockwaves of awe.

Yet, just as quickly as if they had taken some miraculous pill, they both recovered completely and resumed their all-out brawl.
