Chapter 2551: The Strongest in the God's Hometown

The Titan King lowered his head to look down, his voice saying dully: "Source's Qin Soul, you want to, go challenge them."

"Yes."

"Don't go, friend... will die, giant, doesn't want to watch friend... die."

"Will die? Who knows."

"Giant, can't stop it?"

The Titan King rose from the ground, his whole body's joints making somewhat strained friction sounds. The Titan King's strength was unquestionable, but he had been seriously injured during the God-Falling War, and since then, he had always been guarding in a foul-smelling and damp swamp.

During this period, the Titan King had been challenged by many powerhouses. He didn't explain what he was guarding, or what was behind the door. He was too lonely and hoped someone would come to challenge him. The entire giant race was left with only him; no one would understand this kind of mood.

"Friend, don't die, giant, can't help you defeat him, giant, can't violate the agreement."

The Titan King pulled the curved blade from the ground and walked forward with large strides.

Following the Titan King, Su Xiao arrived in front of the abyss before long. Baja had already gone down to scout, but there was nothing below.

"Boss, I have a bad feeling."

"Woof."

Just as Xiang Bubu Wang barked, the Titan King standing before the abyss raised his arm and tossed the Qin Soul, which was only the size of a grain of rice to him, into his mouth.

Sss~

White steam rose from the Titan King's body. He held the curved blade in his hand across his chest and slashed down, blood staining the blade.

"Little human, it's your turn."

The Titan King held the curved blade in front of Liu. Liu looked at her chest, then at the ten-meter-long curved blade in front of her. She shook her head, which counted as her final stubbornness.

"I want your blood, not for you to use a big blade to open your chest. What kind of thought process is that?"

Baja couldn't bear to look. An afterimage flashed, and Liu's palm was cut open. She raised her hand and dripped her blood onto the curved blade.

The Titan King lifted the curved blade with one hand. Whether it was an illusion or not, the sky darkened even more, and a patch of dark clouds scattered, revealing the sun behind.

At this moment, the sun was dark red, with the center pitch black and the edges dark red.

With a whoosh, flames ignited on the Titan King's body. The curved blade in his hand fell into the abyss. The black sun in the sky seemed to be pulled closer, and from the darkness in the center, dark red viscous liquid flowed out, like magma, rolling down into the abyss.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The Titan King spat out boiling hot blood. His whole body was covered in sparks, as if he were about to burn up.

"Don't, worry, giant ate Qin Soul, won't, burn to death."

The Titan King sat beside the abyss. The abyss was recovering its original appearance. Many years ago, this wasn't an abyss.

The boiling and viscous liquid flowing from the 'sun' filled the abyss, and these liquids turned into rocks resembling volcanic rocks after contacting the air for a period of time.

"Giant's mission, finished, giant finally can sleep."

The Titan King walked toward the distance. For him, a good sleep would take at least several months, or even a year. He didn't need treatment; as long as he could sleep, his injuries would gradually recover.

As the boiling and viscous liquid filled the abyss, these liquids began to overflow, and Su Xiao could only retreat.

After a full three hours, the 'sun' no longer flowed with black-red liquid, its black outer shell shattered, and the entire 'sun' became dark red like blood.

Where the abyss originally was, a towering molten mountain appeared. The mountain body was bare, still retaining residual heat.

A road led to the top of the molten mountain, and the dark red sun hung above, seemingly echoing this molten mountain.

"Moo!"

Amu's fighting spirit was very high. In this world, it had always been in a semi-autistic state; the Tianba clan had restrained it too hard.

Su Xiao walked toward the small path leading to the top of the molten mountain. Because of the dark red sun in the sky, it was impossible to judge how high this mountain was.

"Liu, go find the giant."

After saying this, Su Xiao walked toward the molten mountain. He had almost explored all the secrets of this world and wouldn't stop here.

Walking along the small path on the molten mountain, after walking out for dozens of meters, Su Xiao saw an oval rock on the ground, half-embedded in the ground, with the Tianba language on it.

"Even if he was once humble, now, he is the strongest in the God's Hometown. I, leader of the Ni · Nilo, come here to challenge the strongest."

This was a message left by a certain Tianba. Judging from this message, this molten mountain only became an abyss after a certain period of time.

Before becoming an abyss, there had been Tianba who came to challenge, and they also left this sentence.

Continuing forward, after walking out for two hundred meters, another rock appeared on the road surface of the molten mountain, on which it was written.

"Humble? Perhaps you were once humble. I come here to challenge in the name of Tianba."

After checking this last word, Su Xiao didn't stop, but he hadn't walked far when a fourth oval rock appeared on the road surface, completely embedded in the molten mountain.

"With a broken body, slashing out the strongest sword, you are no longer humble, nor are you anyone's slave. You are the Guardian of the Source. Tianba acknowledges your strength and greatness. The first-generation Tianba came to challenge here, miserably defeated."

This was the Tianba who first slaughtered a god. Tianba was the other party's name.

Continuing to move forward, Su Xiao didn't see any more rock messages. The molten mountain had reached the top.

The top of the molten mountain was quite flat. Just as he reached the top, Su Xiao saw a figure. This figure was lying on the ground, his whole body almost embedded in the molten mountain.

Su Xiao stepped forward. After getting closer, he discovered that this was an acquaintance.

"Qifu."

"Has... someone come."

Qifu, half-embedded in the molten mountain, spoke. Beside him crawled a corpse; it was the black-eyed woman seen earlier. At that time, her presence wasn't low, but unfortunately, at this moment, she was lying on the ground, the Dragon Heart Axe splitting her back, dead very thoroughly.

"Is it Bai Ye? Bai Ye, I... succeeded."

Qifu was very weak, already at the verge of death. Two types of Source power coexisted in his body; it would be strange if he didn't die.

"Look, I'm a Tianba, the first one, Flame Tianba."

Qifu used his last bit of strength to pull his right arm out of the molten mountain. At this moment, his skin had turned dark red.

"Hmm, you are a Tianba."

"Hahaha, I, a person full of lies, can also become a Tianba. Tianba doesn't seem to be anything special either. I should have listened to your warning, abandoned the Dragon Heart, stayed in Tower Forest, in the end... I still couldn't control it, still, couldn't do anything."

Qifu's hand suddenly grabbed Su Xiao's arm, and a mark flashing with sparks appeared on Su Xiao's sleeve.

"Take my last hope, go defeat him. If it's you, maybe you can win."

The sparks in Qifu's eyes dimmed rapidly, extinguished, and his arm hung down powerlessly.

【Prompt: You have obtained the Source power blessing of the Flame Tianba · Qifu. This is fire-characteristic Source power. Within one hour, all fire-type damage you receive will be reduced by 20% (including real fire damage).】

Su Xiao stood up and walked past Qifu's corpse. Behind him, Amu pressed one hand on the ground, freezing Qifu's corpse into the molten mountain.

When Amu walked to the side of the black-eyed woman, it pulled out the long-handled battle axe on the other party's back. Just as it gripped the Dragon Heart Axe, a layer of cold ice clung to the handle of the Dragon Heart Axe, thickening by a circle, and the blue heart in the center of the axe head began to beat again.

On the top of the molten mountain, Su Xiao stopped in front of an open space. The mountain body here was full of circles, nested one after another.

Before stepping into the area ahead, Su Xiao took out 【Berserk Beast Potion (Seventh Tier)】 from his storage space and drank the semi-transparent brownish-yellow medicinal liquid inside in one gulp.

Berserk Beast Potion: After use, the maximum health limit is temporarily reduced by 10%. During the duration of the potion effect, real strength and agility attributes are increased by 10 points, ignoring all seventh-tier judgment effects. This effect has priority, and the duration is 200 seconds.

A force erupted in Su Xiao's body, subsiding after a while. He equipped 【Silver Moon Blade (Overlord-level ring)】, drew his blade with his right hand, and his left hand wearing the 【Silver Moon Blade】 brushed over Zhan Long Shan. The Moon Blade effect was successfully blessed, and he contacted the wearing effect of 【Silver Moon Blade】.

Green Steel Shadow energy surged on Zhan Long Shan, Su Xiao's state was fully activated, Berserk Beast Potion + Moon Blade + Green Steel Shadow.

After

Qinggang Ying energy surged on Zhan Long Shan. Su Xiao was in his peak state: Beast-Berserk Potion + Moon Blade + Qinggang Ying.

After finishing all this, he stepped into the area ahead.

Rumble...

A sound came from above, and the entire Molten Mountain began to shake. From within the dark red sun above, the final surge of thick, black-red viscous liquid poured out and crashed down in front of Su Xiao.

Su Xiao blocked his face with his left hand as a large spray of sparks rushed toward him, accompanied by a searing heat.

Within the dark red liquid, a greatsword nearly two meters long was thrust into the ground. The blade was a palm's width wide and decayed to the point of being uneven; the bright, sharp surface was no longer visible. The edges on both sides were covered in irregular notches, and the hilt and guard also gave off a sense of dilapidation.

What was even more unexpected was that a piece was missing from the tip of the greatsword. Yet, this ruined sword gave off an extremely intense sense of crisis.

From within the scalding dark red liquid, a hand reached out. This hand was larger than a normal person's, and the arm armor wrapped around it was pitted and scarred.

"Roar!!"

With a roar, the surrounding dark red liquid was sent splashing everywhere. The person who let out the roar was over three meters tall, wearing armor that was completely dilapidated. He held the greatsword, whose original color was no longer visible, and its edges were covered in gaps.

This Source Guardian was named Edri Dewen, but most people called him the First King—the First King of Talin. To this day, his statue still stands in the center of the Talin royal capital and is the tallest building in the capital.

The royal blood inherited by the Edri royal family was the blood of Edri Dewen—blood that had fused with the Source.

In reality, calling Edri Dewen the First King is inaccurate. History is sometimes full of lies; the First King was merely the wishful thinking of the Talin royal family. Edri Dewen never sat on the throne for even a second; he had never even been to the Kingdom of Talin.

He was once a lowly person, but from the moment he decided to guard the Source, he was no longer lowly. The word "lowly" had nothing to do with him. He was the strongest in the God's Land recognized by the Tianba, the Source Guardian, Edri Dewen.
