After successfully defeating ten Earth Immortal powerhouses, Xiao Fei's confidence in his current strength soared.
His gaze then turned towards the Holy City, the only place in the entire Giant World that he had not yet conquered.
Xiao Fei issued his highest command: the Giant Army would officially attack the Holy City.
The Holy City had already been infiltrated by his followers. With an inside and outside attack, the city walls were breached and the army entered the city without expending any effort.
The remaining stubborn elements in the Holy City scattered in panic under the pursuit of the army.
As these stubborn elements fled, the worst possible scenario unfolded.
A peak powerhouse who was in seclusion cultivation was disturbed.
The peak powerhouses of the Giant World were comparable to the Mahayana stage cultivators of the Tianyuan Realm.
This peak powerhouse, disturbed and enraged, rushed out wielding a large club and began smashing the Giant Army.
In an instant, Xiao Fei's elite army was thrown into disarray, unable to find their bearings, suffering heavy casualties.
Fortunately, these giants were also thick-skinned and quickly reformed their ranks, charging towards the peak powerhouse.
After paying a heavy price, they finally managed to kill the peak powerhouse.
Through this battle, Xiao Fei fully realized the terrifying nature of peak powerhouses.
The number of casualties suffered by the army in killing one peak powerhouse was comparable to that of killing a weakened Earth Immortal powerhouse in the past.
"Teacher Hei, do you have any methods to help giants break through their limits?"
Naturally, such matters had to be consulted with the dog teacher from the Immortal Realm.
Xiao Hei was slowly settling into his role as a teacher and felt quite good about himself, his tail perking up again.
"Giants have a lowly status and position in the Immortal Realm. They are kept and used as slaves, their status no different from ordinary livestock."
"The main reasons are their low intelligence and poor aptitude, with very low upper limits. They are often used for heavy labor like carrying loads, mining, and construction."
"As for methods to help giants break through their limits, very few people have dedicated themselves to researching them."
Xiao Hei took the opportunity to explain the status of giants in the Immortal Realm.
"So, there's no way? Look, in this lower realm, so many giants have successfully broken through their limits."
Xiao Fei was somewhat unconvinced and argued.
"In the Immortal Realm, there are indeed methods. There are many kinds of immortal pills. As long as a giant can consume one, they can break through their limits."
"However, doing so is very uneconomical. The price of a barbarian slave who has broken through their limits is not as valuable as a single immortal pill. It's a loss-making endeavor."
Xiao Hei shook his head as he spoke, clearly not holding much regard for barbarian slaves.
"Don't forget, you were captured by giants twice. The ten Earth Immortals who descended this time were wiped out by giants."
"We were in a weakened state then; it cannot be generalized."
"Can you refine such pills?" Xiao Fei ignored Xiao Hei's quibbling and continued to ask.
"I am merely a guard dog. How could I possibly refine immortal pills?"
"Don't you also understand formations? Oh right, I've also captured some immortal pills. Can you help me see if any are useful?"
As Xiao Fei spoke, he took out several jade bottles containing the pills captured this time.
There were six types in total, with 13 pills.
Xiao Hei picked up the pill bottles and examined them all carefully before selecting three.
"These three immortal pills can be used."
"Alright! Thank you!"
After bidding farewell to Xiao Hei, Xiao Fei returned to his space and first had his giant body consume a pill to test its properties.
As this pill was swallowed, he immediately felt a surge of immense power rampaging within his body.
This power tore at his muscles, shattered his bones, and burst his blood vessels.
After enduring this violent force, his body was remodeled by the immortal energy within the pill, his physical body breaking through the limits of giant talent and beginning to grow again.
During this period, he felt extremely hungry, his body like a bottomless pit, constantly stuffing all sorts of food into his large mouth.
Ordinary grains were gone as soon as they were swallowed, and he felt hungrier the more he ate.
Fortunately, there were still several Earth Immortal corpses in the space. They had already been dissected, and many useful materials had been extracted, leaving behind a large amount of meat.
As it happened, there were still two bear paws left from last time. Xiao Fei prepared these bear paws, marinated them in spiritual wine, and steamed them over high heat.
There was also a leg of the Nine-Colored Deer and half a deer penis brought back by his subordinates. He roasted them all.
In addition, he stewed a tiger leg and a tiger penis.
As these immortal-grade foods were successively cooked and consumed, Xiao Fei ate ravenously.
As these immortal-grade foods were digested, his body grew at a visible rate.
His breakthrough process lasted for a full year within the space.
After the breakthrough, his body was twice as tall as that of an ordinary giant. No matter where he stood, he would stand out from the crowd.
To better blend in with the masses, his exceptionally tall body was kept in the space, while a normal giant appearance appeared externally.
As for the remaining two immortal pills, Xiao Fei gave them to Han Yi and Han Er to use.
...
In the Immortal Realm, the commotion caused by several waves of people descending to the lower realms had long since been detected by numerous forces.
In the Immortal Realm, there were many races, and even within the same race, there were various factions and major powers.
For a treasure like the Jade Plate of Creation, every race was determined to obtain it.
The soul of a three-headed demon wolf was being roasted over a fire, emitting screams.
Just then, a demonic hand appeared and snatched the soul of the three-headed demon wolf.
"The opportunities left for you are running out."
"I yield!" The three-headed demon wolf's reply was weak and feeble.
"The Jade Plate of Creation has appeared, and it is located at..."
"Good! I shall spare your life for now and have you lead the way for me."
The owner of the hand, holding the soul of the three-headed demon wolf, walked out of the secret chamber.
"Demon Protector, heed my command..."
...
On the other side, still on the same immortal mountain, a few residual souls who had escaped from the Giant Realm reported their experiences in the lower realm to the noble woman.
However, among these residual souls, the Nine-Colored Deer and Xiao Hei were absent.
Xiao Hei had been captured by Xiao Fei and was temporarily unable to escape, thus unable to return.
As for the Nine-Colored Deer, he had detonated himself, destroying his own soul in the process. He would no longer be part of the group.
"Very well, I am aware of this matter."
The noble woman had not expected that a mere lower realm would cause the demise of ten Earth Immortals.
It was mainly due to the terrible misfortune they encountered, which greatly reduced their combat effectiveness.
"I have a treasure of fortune here that can protect you for a period, preventing you from being affected by bad luck."
As the noble woman spoke, she produced a red candle.
"As long as this candle is lit, you will temporarily be immune to the influence of bad luck."
