Fire Giants were creatures of the core that were equivalent to Class 6 Magical Beasts. The fire raven commander told Ji Dong that the true habitat of the Fire Giants was on the eighth floor of the core world. In the core world, they could be considered as mid to high level creatures. Every entrance to the first floor of the core world was guarded by a thousand Fire Giants. There were ten entrances, which meant there were ten thousand Fire Giants. However, the total number of Fire Giants was only two hundred thousand. Those who were stationed here were the young elites of the Fire Giants.
The Fire Giants were one of the few races that did not eat Fire Essence Fruits. Their food was the various rocks of the core world that contained the fire element.
The Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples did not have much of a reaction when they first saw the fire essences and fire ravens. After all, although the two races were numerous, their individual strength was nothing. However, when they saw the Fire Giants, their thoughts underwent a qualitative change.
A Magical Beast of the sixth rank was equivalent to a Five Crown Magician. Not to mention the entire Fire Giant race, just the ten thousand Fire Giants guarding the first floor were a powerful army. Ji Dong still remembered that the Earth Dragon Ancestor had once told him that the core world was an even more dangerous place than the Five Elements Continent. If it was not for the existence of powerful restraints, humans would not be able to contend against them once they came to the surface.
Now, Ji Dong understood what the Earth Dragon Ancestor had said. From the moment they entered the core world until now, they could only "see a leopard through a tube", but they could already sense that the core world was so powerful. In that case, just how powerful were the creatures of the core deeper in the core world? Even if there were no Saint Tier experts, just their terrifying numbers were enough to sweep through the surface world.
Thinking of this, Ji Dong could not help but think of the fear the God World had towards the Flaming Bar. It was probably because of the strength of the core world.
"Because of my evolution, I've already solidified into a human form. Can these Fire Giants let us enter the second floor?" Ji Dong asked the fire raven commander that he had seen first. As it was the first to see Ji Dong, it had the air of the commander of the other fire ravens. "This …" The fire raven commander hesitated, "I'm afraid it'll be very difficult.
"This …" The fire crow commander hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid it'll be very difficult. If you could show your true form, they definitely wouldn't dare to stop you. But since you've brought so many humans, I'm afraid it'll be more troublesome. You should know that the protectors of every layer of the core world are there to prevent the creatures from the outside world from entering the deeper layers, and also to prevent the creatures from the deeper layers from coming out. We, the fire crows, are responsible for transporting the Fire Essence Fruits, that's why we're able to enter and exit the first and second layers. This is already considered a rather unique existence in the core world. These fire giants aren't easy to deal with, but we're not afraid of them. Although they're strong, their numbers can't compare to ours. As long as you give the order, we'll immediately dispatch millions of clansmen to forcefully break through their obstruction."
These Fire Crows were obviously simple-minded. Hearing the leader's words, Ji Dong couldn't help but be speechless. How many Fire Crows would have to die to break through the defense of thousands of Class 6 Fire Giants with just Class 1 to Class 2 Fire Crows? He immediately rejected the idea of the fire raven commander, "Other than killing them all, is there any other way? Even if we want to kill them, there's no need for you to sacrifice yourselves."
Hearing Ji Dong's words, the fire raven commander was extremely grateful, "Great Lord, you don't need to worry about us. Our existence is to serve you. Let us do it."
Ji Dong's eyes flashed coldly, "Less nonsense, answer my question first."
Commander Fire Crow shuddered under his gaze, then said, "It's not like there's no way. The Fire Giants have a Fire Giant Commander. As long as you can defeat the Fire Giant Commander, you can also enter the next floor. In our core world, strength is everything."
Ji Dong nodded, "Alright, then go and tell the Fire Giant commander that I want to challenge it."
"Great Lord, are you really not going to consider my suggestion? With your people here, why do you need to do it yourself? "The fire raven commander tried to convince Ji Dong.
Ji Dong snorted coldly, "Are your lives not worth anything? If you can do it without sacrificing your people, why would you sacrifice yourselves for nothing? Is your brain made of paste? Less nonsense, hurry up and go. Mm, bring your brothers with you. " The Fire Raven Commanders were only at the fourth rank after all. Ji Dong had a rather good impression of the Fire Raven Commanders along the way, as well as the fact that the Fire Ravens would rather die than submit, and he didn't want them to sacrifice themselves for nothing.
The fire raven commander cawed a few times, then flew down to the entrance of the second floor according to Ji Dong's instructions.
Fury stretched his body, and the bones all over his body emitted a creaking sound. He chuckled and said, "Ji Dong, let me do it. I haven't met an opponent that can exercise my body since entering the core world. Those stone golems are quite big, so I might be able to have a good time."
Ji Dong smiled, "Senior brother, this is only the first floor. There will be opportunities later. I'll do it myself this time."
Fury was taken aback, "It's just a Fire Giant commander, do you need to do it yourself?"
Chen Sixuan smiled from the side, "Ji Dong is trying to tame those Fire Crows."
Fury came to a sudden realization and chuckled, "Looks like it's Si Xuan who understands you better. However, can these Fire Crows really be brought to our human world after being subdued? Didn't they say that the creatures of the core have a strict limit and can't go to the surface? "
Ji Dong said, "At least for now, we still don't know what this restriction is. It's very likely that it's because of those Level Ten Godly Beasts guarding the entrance, as well as the guards at each level's entrance, or some other kind of seal. It's hard to say if it's the creatures from the deeper levels, but it shouldn't be a big problem to bring these Fire Crows out. Moreover, I'm thinking that with them on the first and second levels, we'll have one more path of retreat. It's better to subdue them than to conquer them. One more ally, regardless of whether or not they can help, is always better than one more group of enemies."
The Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples nodded. They rarely objected to Ji Dong's decisions.
Reality proved that the Fire Crow Race still had some authority in the first and second floors of the core world. A race didn't necessarily need everyone to be strong. As long as they were united, they would have enough power to speak.
After a while, the Fire Crow commander flew back. The leader told Ji Dong that the Fire Giants had already agreed. As long as Ji Dong could defeat the Fire Giant commander, they would let them enter the second floor. This was the rule of the core world. The strong were respected. There were guards at the entrance of every floor. Being able to enter the second floor didn't mean that they could go deeper.
The Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon carried everyone down from the sky and slowly landed at the edge of the first floor's entrance. There were at least a hundred Fire Giants already waiting there. The feeling of looking down from the sky and actually facing them was completely different. A hundred over four meters tall giants made of stone and emitting flames stood there. The deterrence was not just a little strong. Of course, to the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples, it was just a visual impact.
The Fire Crow commander cawed at the Fire Giants a few times, and the group of Fire Crow commanders retreated to the side. They grabbed the rocks on the ground with their sharp claws and looked at Ji Dong with extreme reverence, waiting for their great master to show off his might.
The Fire Giants were also extremely shocked when they saw Ji Dong's group. The light of the Five Element Yin Yang World caused the Fire Giants to be extremely bewildered. Even though the Five Element Yin Yang World was already very restrained under Ji Dong's control, the unfathomable feeling was still enough to shock any race.
The ten colored light disappeared and Ji Dong's figure flashed. He had already jumped down from Mao Tai's head and walked towards the group of Fire Giants by himself. He didn't release his Sacred Fire Ruler Armor and just walked up calmly. However, the Fire Giants didn't dare to look down on him at all. This was because the Fire Crow commanders had clearly told them that Ji Dong was a Three Legged Golden Bird that had transformed into a human through cultivation.
The Fire Giants were the typical type of creatures from the core with a simple head and stomach and developed limbs. However, they also knew how strong the Three Legged Golden Crow was. This was also why they were willing to agree to the Fire Crow commanders' suggestion. Otherwise, although the Fire Crows had a dominant position in the first two levels, their status was still far from the mid to high level creatures that lived on the eighth level. It wasn't a big deal to refute the Fire Crows' reputation, but the Three Legged Golden Crow was a super expert that should have lived on the fifteenth level.
With two bangs, the Fire Giants uniformly knocked on the rock on their chests. Through their spiritual undulations that were even weaker than the Fire Crows, Ji Dong could feel that this was a welcoming etiquette. Ji Dong raised his right fist and also knocked on his chest. In the next moment, a golden-red light had already blossomed from his body without hesitation.
A tyrannical attribute suppression instantly erupted. Right now, he was only facing a hundred Fire Giants and not the hundred thousand Fire Crows from before, so the area of concentration of this attribute suppression was naturally much smaller. In an instant, these Fire Giants, who had an average cultivation of around the sixth level, instantly retreated in shock. Their originally orderly formation was now a bit scattered.
Bang bang. Another two bangs sounded. The Fire Giants all moved aside, and an exceptionally large Fire Giant walked out from behind them.
This Fire Giant was more than five meters tall, and the flames on his body were not red, but green. His aura was clearly much steadier, and the heat emitted from the flames on his body was also slightly stronger. The green flames in his eyes flickered continuously.
With a thought, Ji Dong had already sent out a message through his own soul. This wasn't an invading attack on his opponent's soul, but a simple expression of his own soul, "If I defeat you, I can enter the second level?"
The Fire Giant commander, whose body was covered in green flames, nodded, then forcefully knocked on his chest again. Looking at the golden-red light on Ji Dong's body, the flames in his eyes clearly retracted a bit.
"Then bring it on." Ji Dong once again sent out a soul ripple, and in the next instant, his body had already floated into the air, hovering parallel to the Fire Giant.
Seeing that Ji Dong was able to float into the air without any external help, the Fire Giants were not surprised. After all, Ji Dong's current identity was a Three-legged Golden Crow. It would be strange if he couldn't fly.
Creatures from the Earth's Core were much more direct than humans. Without any nonsense, this Fire Giant commander had already begun his attack on Hyōhime. He suddenly bent over, slamming his thick hands directly on the ground, causing a deafening boom. A one-meter-wide rock had already been dug out from the ground, and the green flames surrounding his body had clearly grown stronger. In an instant, the green rock had been enveloped, and with a whoosh, it directly smashed towards Ji Dong.
"What a very direct attack!" The corner of Ji Dong's mouth curled into a smile. Facing the huge rock with blinding flames, he had no intention of dodging at all. He only made a simple movement, and raised his right hand.
The huge rock whizzed towards Ji Dong in the blink of an eye. However, when it came into contact with his right hand, it abruptly stopped, as if it had lost all of its energy. Ji Dong's extended arm did not bend in the slightest, and the huge rock had already been blocked by his hand. Blinding golden light suddenly lit up, and with a boom, the huge rock that the Fire Giant had tossed over had already exploded into pieces.
When the spectating Fire Crow commanders saw that Ji Dong had easily neutralized the Fire Giant commander's attack, they immediately let out cheers and caws. From the looks of it, it was impossible to tell just how excited they were.
Afterwards, Ji Dong slowly flew in the direction of the Fire Giant commander. He flew very slowly. The distance between them was less than thirty meters, and he flew at a slow speed of one meter per second.
When the Fire Giant Commander saw that the boulders it had thrown were so easily blocked by Ji Dong, and that the green flames on them didn't have any effect at all, it was slightly taken aback. It immediately slammed its hands on the ground again. This time, it threw two boulders at Ji Dong, whistling through the air.
Through the Fire Giant commander's first attack, Ji Dong could clearly sense that the Fire Giant was extremely powerful. From the ripples of mana, the Fire Giant before him was at most a Class 7 Magical Beast. However, when it erupted with power, even Class 8 Magical Beasts might not be able to match up to it.
Unfortunately, it had encountered Ji Dong. This time, Ji Dong's response was even simpler. He did not even raise his hand, and under the cries of the Fire Crow commanders, he allowed the two rocks to smash into him.
With two consecutive booms, the two rocks were blown to pieces, flying in all directions.
