Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 670: Pillar of Light

"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" The commentator said.

"Oh, I've seen enough strange things, but all five of them together without any blood being spilled is enough a reason to celebrate. Regardless, Du Shen's ability seems really strange, don't you think," Eccentric Long said.

"Ah, yes, the Titan Art of Battle, it seems that even though the Darkest Sun had tried for many eons to recreate it, or at least inherit it to his people, he had failed to do so. But this young man is capable of using the Titan Art of Battle, and the gigantification. Could he perhaps be a descendant of the Titans?" the commentator said.

"No," Xiao Du replied, "His meridian structure is that of a normal human. He has nothing that could indicate that he is a descendant of titans in his physical build. The current transformation he is undergoing right now however is slightly different. It isn't a pure transformation," Xiao Du added.

"You mean this is a fake gigantification," The commentator said.

"No, in a sense, this is different than the race of giant's transformation, because it isn't solely relying on their blood heritage. It actually is a fusion between his inner Qi and the blood of a titan. He somehow managed to create a body modification process that is powered by the blood of a giant that he had probably ingested.

And this caused his current appearance, it looks like that of a titan, but isn't following the same principles. Because it is able to use the Titan Art of Combat to a far more efficient and optimal degree," Xiao Du said.

"How so? I don't see much difference," The commentator said, "They both look like giants to me."

"That is the outer shell, however, the Qi exertion is night and day's difference. What would takes Du Shen to do in term of energy is ten times more efficient, he can use the same punch for example for a tenth of the output to release the same amount of power that a normal titan can do. The energy required is vastly different.

Also, he is able to immediately switch between modes of combat as you saw, his agility and dexterity is far higher than other giants who outrank him in cultivation," Xiao Du said.

"I guess he improved upon the art greatly for you to praise it so much," the commentator said.

"No wonder even the Darkest Sun was interested, something like this is revolutionary. But, at the same time, he should be too complacent, the fact that these giants are nigh immortal is soon to be known for everyone fighting them. And also that they grow stronger with each time they die.

Du Shen will have no option but to run away, and luckily he ended up in the area where the Red Sun's bloodlust had spilled. Something as potent as the Red Sun's bloodlust is enough to engrave untold horror in the heart of anyone who even dares and approach it," Xiao Du said.

"How come Du Shen isn't affected though?" the Commentator asked.

"Because he has no reason to, that bloodlust wasn't aimed at him," Eccentric Long said.

"How so? If it wasn't aimed at him then it definitely wasn't aimed at the titans but they're scared of it," the commentator questioned.

"I wouldn't really know, but I have a guess. Perhaps since it was directed at the Darkest Sun, the titans who were modified by him were affected, or perhaps since the titans have no true will of their own, they're unable to rationalize and were terrified of the undulated bloodlust," Eccentric Long shrugged.

"I see, then let's keep watching and see how this is going to proceed, it seems that Du Shen is releasing his gigantification. And is about to leave the area,"

The screen soon turned to Shen Bao who was at the other side of the dead zone.

"Curses, I hate going into that form, it's hella exhausting," I said as I swallowed a couple pills to replenish my muscles with energy and my stamina.

Looking around, the giants behind me were still fearing the aura from the Red Sun's Bloodlust. So taking advantage of that, I was able to make some distance with them, but once they wake up from their terror, they'll hunt me down again.

I gazed in the distance and didn't see any other titan in the area, and my eyes caught something interesting. A massive pillar of light, acting like a beacon for all.

You could see several ant-like figures in the distance, they were all cultivators rushing toward the pillar. However, massive explosions of energy blew up. It was from the titans. They were stockpiled around the pillar, I guess the bulk of the giants are there to stop anyone unqualified from getting out.

I now have a goal, so I moved forward with that in mind, but at the same time I kept my eyes peeled for anything out of the ordinary.

The titans are sneaky, despite their size, it's hard to anticipate them. I had the misfortune of finding that out earlier.

So, my best shot is to bypass them while they're distracted, preferably by someone else.

So I pulled out my hoverboard, this one I created in case I needed mobility instead of safety and comfort.

I flew through the forest, zooming past hundreds of massive trees in the blink of an eye, but the distance to the pillar of light was still ways to go.

Up ahead in the distance, the ant like figures began growing and I could see several cultivators attempting to bypass the 'wall' of giants. But failed miserably. They got swatted down like flies when they tried to go up and above the giants, as it seems there was a 'ceiling' to this domain and it was well within the reach of the giants once they extended their arms fully with their weapons on hand.

Many cultivators died, or received brutal injuries for failing to bypass the giants. But the only good thing was that the giants around the pillar of light didn't move from their position. They covered enough space that they were able to attack at their leisure without interrupting or getting in each other's way.
