Chapter 1650: The Mountain Giant

"Scatter quickly!" Murong Yunhai was the first to react, roaring as he retreated toward the rear.

The others were startled, hurriedly flashing away in a panic.

Boom!

The giant palm crashed down, splashing up countless dust and smoke. When they could see clearly again, only a pit several zhang deep remained before them, and several Immortal Kings who hadn't reacted in time were crushed underneath.

"This speed is simply too fast..." Murong Yunhai muttered.

If he hadn't been vigilant the whole time and issued a warning in time, I'm afraid many people would have been crushed inside by now.

With such a massive body, logically speaking, the speed shouldn't be this fast...

The surrounding cultivators were also dumbfounded at this moment, looking up at the figure blocking the sky and sun before them, a sense of despair rising in their hearts.

In front of this mountain giant, they were as small as ants.

"This is too big..."

"What exactly did this Immortal Emperor do back then... to be able to create such a massive giant."

"Can we really pass the first stage?"

Everyone was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do.

"Don't just stare! If we don't defeat this guy, we won't even be able to see the Immortal Emperor's legacy!" Murong Yunhai shouted urgently as he saw the giant preparing to launch a second attack.

After speaking, his Immortal Yuan surged, and he was the first to charge toward the giant.

The other cultivators also reacted, following behind Murong Yunhai and charging up in unison.

Bang!

In an instant, Immortal Arts erupted everywhere, and various attacks collided, forming brilliant streams of light that completely submerged the giant.

After launching a round of attacks, everyone stopped, staring at the rolling smoke and dust.

With a full thousand Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables attacking, unless an Immortal Emperor were alive, no matter how powerful you, the mountain giant, are, you wouldn't have a chance to survive, right?

A cultivator from the Desire Demon Sect gathered his courage, flew to the edge of the smoke, and tried to investigate.

Boom!

A huge palm suddenly reached out from the dust, grabbed the cultivator directly, and retracted back into the smoke.

"Ah! Save me! I don't want to die..."

A shrill wail rang out, but it disappeared after a moment, leaving only a "crunching" sound coming from the dust.

Hearing this sound, everyone felt a chill.

"This... that guy wasn't eaten, was he?"

"Are you kidding? An Immortal King was eaten just like that?"

"Too terrifying! How can this guardian be so powerful?"

If they were beaten to death, the people present wouldn't care, but this way of dying was too bloody.

No cultivator could accept the fate of being eaten by a mountain giant!

A moment later, the dust dissipated, and the mountain giant appeared before everyone, completely unscathed.

The previous attack had been too hasty, and only now did everyone truly see the appearance of this guardian.

The guardian was two hundred zhang tall, standing on this wilderness like a giant pillar connecting heaven and earth.

Large patches of shadow were cast down, covering the vast majority of the cultivators present, as if pressing down on their hearts.

Too powerful!

This is not an opponent they can contend with!

How could a guardian specially created by an Immortal Emperor to test those entering the Ancient Secret Realm be easily defeated?

"He has a barrier on him." Xu Que noticed something wrong with his sharp eyes and raised his hand to cast a Buddhist secret technique.

Golden Buddhist light fell on the giant, and a thin light shield instantly appeared around the giant, ripples stirred up by the Buddhist light.

A moment later, the Buddhist light dissipated, and the giant remained unaffected.

Seeing this scene, everyone finally realized why their joint attack just now had absolutely no effect.

This giant is immune to Immortal Arts!

That is simply outrageous!

Murong Yunhai was the first to exclaim: "This is impossible! How can there be an existence immune to Immortal Arts in this world?"

Immunity to Immortal Arts is in itself an impossible thing.

Immortal Arts are the very foundation of a cultivator's combat; in a sense, the normal operation of a cultivator's techniques can be classified as Immortal Arts.

If one is immune to Immortal Arts, it means being immune to the operation of all power; cultivators wouldn't be able to cast spells, or even cultivate.

"No, it is possible." Qing Suyi said in a deep voice, "Up until now, have you seen this giant attack us with any techniques?"

"You mean, this guardian doesn't know any techniques either, and this stage is testing whether we can pass with our physical bodies?" Murong Yunhai felt it was absurd, "How is that possible? No cultivator can confront a two-hundred-zhang mountain giant purely with their physical body!"

Low-level cultivators might cultivate their physical bodies, but after reaching a certain realm, they inevitably have to start comprehending the Great Dao.

From that moment on, all increases in strength come from the comprehension of the Great Dao and the mastery of techniques; even the physical enhancements come from this.

It can be said that the physical strength of all the cultivators present is actually about the same; the gap lies only in the degree of mastery of techniques and the Great Dao.

While the two were talking, the mountain giant began to move.

Bang!

A massive fist slammed out, producing bursts of sonic booms; several cultivators didn't react at all and were sent flying backward.

While still flying in mid-air, their bones were already broken, and they were spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.

"Scatter! We can't block it!" Murong Yunhai shouted and quickly retreated backward.

Immunity to Immortal Arts means their own protective techniques have no effect either.

The punch of a two-hundred-zhang giant carries such terrifying power that it even vaguely distorted space!

The eight factions formed eight camps, each guarding their own, watching the giant before them vigilantly.

"Master Tang, do you have any ideas?" Qing Suyi came to Xu Que's side and asked sincerely.

Xu Que recited a Buddhist name: "Amitabha, this poor monk doesn't have any good ideas for this either."

Just kidding, that's a two-hundred-zhang giant, not two zhang!

Even you tough guys can't block it, can a frail monk like me hold up?

Just at this moment, Er Gouzi's voice came: "Que-ge, Que-ge, can you hear me? Have you discovered the guardian yet?"

Xu Que was stunned and responded with his mind: "Yes, a two-hundred-zhang giant! Let's find an opportunity later to see if we can go directly to the second stage."

"Don't! This mountain giant can be subdued!" Er Gouzi said anxiously, "We just found relevant records in the documents we obtained earlier; as long as this mountain giant is defeated, it can recognize a master!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Que didn't say a word, stepped forward directly, and roared: "This poor monk's blood is already boiling! Let this poor monk fight it!"
