"The training of the soul is different from the development of spiritual meridians. It is much more dangerous. You may not be able to survive it just because you have a solid soul.
"Did you hear the screams from the secret chambers down there? They are all experts of the Furious Bears Tribe. Every one of them is a determined, unshakable expert. But they have been mentally deranged by the blast of the soul storm and have completely lost themselves. They have turned into beasts that know nothing but slaughter. They can only lock themselves in this place and wait for their final charge.
"Before, I didn't want to bring you to the real training ground of the qi-trainers.
"However, your performance up there has greatly exceeded my expectations."
"With everything coming to this point, I have no other choice but to take a gamble on you!
"Now, make your own decision. Do you still want to go in?"
Xiong Wuji's mysterious words raised a lot of confusion in Li Yao's heart.
The terrifying screams from below the ground creeped him out, too.
However, by developing his veins with True Qi Locks, his body could only accept more spiritual gas, but there was still the problem that he could not control the spiritual gas after it was unleashed.
Li Yao vaguely sensed that the technique of spiritual gas resonance that Yan Chihuo performed had something to do with the 'real' training deep below the ground.
Looking at Xiong Wuji in the eyes without flinching, Li Yao said briefly, "I want to have a try."
Xiong Wuji nodded his head and pushed open a rusty iron door next to him.
The iron door was more than three feet thick. It looked like a safe in a vault. The inside of the iron door was full of interconnected scratches, as if somebody had dug them out by brute force.
"After you enter, follow everything you see with your eyes and enter the state of meditation. If you are truly destined to be a member of the Titan Warriors, you will naturally be able to enter the 'Titan Illusionary Land'. But you must be aware that it is very easy to be drowned in the Titan Illusionary Land. Do not forget who you are, or you will end up like those people down there. "
After saying that, Xiong Wuji closed the iron gate from the outside with a 'clang'.
Li Yao observed carefully. Behind the iron gate was a rough cave. The walls of the cave were full of potholes. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that they were all fist marks that had penetrated deep into the rock stratum. It was unknown how many people had indiscriminately bombarded this place. The rock was compressed until it was extremely hard, faintly emitting a metallic luster.
Inside the cave, countless bizarre-shaped rocks were placed. They were glittering in seven colors. Their texture was the same as what Li Yao had seen on the meteorite mountain.
Li Yao's heart skipped a beat. "These are all fragments of the meteorite mountain, meteorites from the Heavenly Tribulation!"
Some of the meteorolites had messy symbols carved on them. Some of the meteorolites had simple drawings, which looked like the murals of the primitive people. They had been painted with extremely crude brushstrokes. It was a scene of some towering giants fighting ferocious beasts.
There were also a few meteorites that looked like fossils. They were embedded with fossilized biological tissues that were even larger than Li Yao's head. Like octopuses, they extended countless tubes in all directions.
"Plop! Plop!
While Li Yao stared at the fossils, a strong heartbeat seemed to be echoing deep inside his brain.
Li Yao was greatly alarmed.
He realized what the fossils embedded inside the meteorites were.
They were heart fossils. Judging from their size, they were the heart fossils of giants more than three meters tall!
"The runes, murals, and heart fossils were all embedded inside the meteorites. Did they come to Iron Plateau together with the apocalypse? What is the Titan Warriors that Xiong Wuji mentioned? "
As his heartbeat inside his brain grew faster and faster, the runes and murals carved on the meteorites seemed to have turned into flowing lines that were spinning slowly deep inside his eyes.
Li Yao vaguely heard roars that sounded like roaring thunder. Tens of thousands of noisy roars converged into a magnificent battlefield!
Li Yao stared at the largest heart fossil and narrowed his eyes. He entered the meditative state in the middle of his heartbeat and roars.
A bottomless black hole seemed to have appeared below his feet. He was falling, falling, and falling. Suddenly, after a boom, as if an explosion had taken place, he found himself in a brand-new world!
It was a vast and desolate world that looked like a primeval planet. Volcanoes were erupting far away, and magma was almost swallowing the entire sky.
On the rugged land, tens of thousands of tall giants were standing. Their average height was around four meters, and their shoulders were twice as broad as those of human beings. Their heads were triangular, with protruding chins and two sharp tusks protruding forward like tusks.
Their skin was crimson, as if it were on fire. Glamorous patterns were growing on their skin, too. They did not seem to have been painted on their skin but formed naturally. As they waved their hands and feet, the patterns were changing into various shapes and colors.
They were wearing simple animal skins, which were occasionally covered with the bones and shells of strange beasts. However, they were all carrying extremely exquisite metal weapons in their hands, such as giant axes and sabers!
Li Yao felt a sharp pain in his heart, and then he found that he had become one of these red giants. Under the roar of the leader, he rushed forward recklessly.
"Wahhhhhhh!"
The red giants' language ability was extremely poor. They could only let out a few simple battle roars from the depths of their throats. However, the magnificent patterns that flowed faintly on their bodies were a unique communication organ.
Although Li Yao could not understand their 'language', he could sense the meaning that was revealed between the roars and the changing patterns.
From the beginning to the end, all the roars and dancing patterns conveyed the same meaning.
"Fight! Fight! Fight! "
Across from them, the undulating mountain range had holes dug out one after another like a beehive. From the depths of the holes, terrifying monsters that were three to four meters tall and looked like a hybrid of a spider and a mantis crawled out. Occasionally, giant monsters that were more than ten meters tall would crawl out of some of the huge holes. It was like a giant insect expo was going on.
The ferocious beasts that only appeared in nightmares, however, had triggered the scorching fighting will of the red giants. They charged forward without any hesitation. Their sabers were flying, their axes were dancing crazily, and their bodies constituted an iron torrent as they crushed their enemies without any concern!
"Hoooo!"
At first, Li Yao was still somewhat clear-headed. However, as the flames of war were ignited, and the red giants around him roared nonstop, amazing waves were unleashed from their brains, which made Li Yao's fighting will soar without him knowing!
His original plan was to find a place to hide, stay out of the battle, and coldly observe the battle between the two alien races.
However, as he slashed open the shell of an apocalyptic beast with his saber, the translucent green mucus splashed all over his body. Boosted by his fighting will, he felt that the 'blood of the apocalyptic beast' was even more stimulating than hard liquor. Before he knew it, he had been devoted to the battle!
The battle lasted for an entire day. It was not until two satellites that were as red as blood were floating in the sky that Li Yao finally sat down cross-legged on the bloody battlefield and gradually regained his consciousness.
The scene of the battle just now was still deeply etched in his memory.
Looking around, he discovered that few red giants were still standing. The battle where both sides suffered heavy losses had almost destroyed the two alien species.
However, the giants that survived were more excited than ever. Now and then, they would pick up a dead insect with their sabers and wave it back and forth, waving their arms and legs, while they roared triumphantly.
For some reason, Li Yao felt that his throat was itching, and he couldn't help but want to roar crazily. He even wanted to continue fighting in the weird world.
The thought shocked him so much that he shuddered violently. After a dazzling light flashed, he returned to reality. He was still in the dark cave.
However, he was sweating hard, and stinky black mucus was being discharged from his body. His body felt more comfortable than ever, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle to his heart's content.
Li Yao took a long breath in relief. He was about to stand up, when he suddenly felt pain in his thigh. He lowered his head, only to discover a shallow wound on the outside of his right thigh.
Li Yao remembered clearly that his thigh had been slashed by a giant insect in the illusion at exactly the same place.
What is this exactly?
Li Yao was deeply confused. He pulled the chain next to the iron gate hard and pondered.
He could clearly sense that, in the illusion, when the crimson giants roared, special waves were triggered in their brains, which were similar to the qi-trainers' techniques of spiritual gas resonance.
Is this the source of the qi-trainers' techniques? Did they discover the legacies left by the alien species in space and learn the techniques of spiritual gas resonance while they were fighting against the apocalypse?
The way of the inheritance in the illusions is similar to Ou Yezi's memory pieces, but it seems to be even more impressive than the memory pieces! When I was fighting in the illusions, my body seemed to have received high-intensity training without me knowing it. Even the damage I suffered in the illusions was reflected back to reality!
"But why would such a divine ability be hidden in the destructive Heavenly Tribulation?!"
Three minutes later, Xiong Wuji opened the iron gate. Although there was no expression on his face, astonishment was beaming out of his eyes.
"You saw it."
It was not a question, but a statement. Xiong Wuji continued, "I'm more and more curious. Who are you exactly? You are definitely not a common Cultivator. At the very least, you are not the common Cultivator that Sha Yulan described!
"For normal qi-trainers, they couldn't bear it after staying in the 'Titan Illusionary Land' for half an hour. But you stayed for three hours the first time you entered, and your head was still clear. You were not mentally deranged at all!"
Li Yao asked in a hurry, "Titan Warriors? Are they the crimson giants whose skin is like fire? What species are they exactly? Why are their legacies in the apocalypse? "
