Chapter 2668 - 2667: Storm Approaching
Ling Feng’s heart trembled upon hearing those words.
This is Jin Gang’s voice!
"Jin Gang, do you really have a way? If you bother me at this time without any constructive opinion, I’ll punish you by making you scrub Little Fei’s shell," Ling Feng teased.
"Master, have you forgotten that I am a giant?"
Ling Feng had considered this. He knew Jin Gang was one of the few remaining giants, but strictly speaking, Jin Gang wasn’t a pure giant, so Ling Feng didn’t think Jin Gang had any specific secret technique to transform him into a giant.
"Although I am not a true giant, I did live among the Giant Race and know some secrets,"
"There exists a secret technique to gigantify ordinary humans, but only the core elders know this technique, and it has been lost for a long time,"
"Moreover, there are limitations: it only works for those with giant bloodline. Master, you are a normal human, so even if I knew this secret technique, it would be useless to you."
"Then how can one become a giant?" Ling Feng was puzzled.
"Don’t be anxious, Master. To make an ordinary person giant, you need external forces to change your life level. This is extremely difficult, but currently, it’s the only method,"
"You need to enter other worlds, explore their life levels and supreme rules, especially worlds created by powerful beings, where life levels are particularly complex and exquisite,"
"If you can enter and cultivate within them, you will have a unique experience. It will definitely help you in your power enhancement and understanding of becoming a giant."
Ling Feng’s mouth widened as he suddenly realized something: "You mean?"
"Yes, Master, it’s exactly what you’re thinking. It’s the Three Realms created by the Lord of the Three Realms. You need to find a way to enter that world; maybe you’ll find a way to deal with him,"
"You can also explore the components of life levels and deepen your understanding of physical transformation!"
Ling Feng fell into deep thought. This was indeed a method he hadn’t considered. However, the Three Realms were a world he had never touched. He knew very little about it, let alone entering it.
"This is the information I once came across. Master, you need to decide and grasp it yourself. Actually, the time left for you is very short."
Jin Gang’s voice faded as he continued to heal.
Li Xiaonian watched Ling Feng in deep thought, knowing he was either realizing something or thinking of something. She dared not disturb him and sat silently by the side.
After a long time, Ling Feng came to his senses, his gaze firm as he said, "Little Nian, I think I need to find a way to enter the Three Realms. Only by entering a world created by the enemy can I find the Lord of the Three Realms’s weakness,"
"Thus, gaining deeper life insights may allow me to wield the Chaos Sword’s power."
"Good! I’ll support you!" Li Xiaonian exclaimed, giving a thumbs up.
Ling Feng smiled in surprise: "You’re already supporting me? Do you know the consequences of this?"
"Of course! Opposing the Lord of the Three Realms means betting one’s life. I know it’s extremely dangerous, of course."
"Then why do you support me so quickly?"
"What else can I do? Only if you become powerful can you protect the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, and protect me and millions of citizens. I’ll definitely support you with all my might."
Li Xiaonian seized the moment before Ling Feng reacted, hugging him gently and saying, "Besides, you’re already a king standing shoulder-to-shoulder with me, why distinguish between us? What’s mine is yours,"
"The Vermilion Bird Kingdom is yours; you can have whatever you want. Even I, myself, can be yours..."

Li Xiaonian looked up at Ling Feng, slowly uttering these words.
Ling Feng didn’t know what to say; the sudden tenderness caught him off guard. After thinking for a while, he finally chose to embrace Li Xiaonian.
The two of them embraced on the peak of the royal palace, as the distant sunset slowly sank and evening clouds filled the sky.
It wasn’t until night that Li Xiaonian reluctantly bid farewell to Ling Feng and returned to the royal palace. She had to go back; there were many documents to review, and she couldn’t stay too long with Ling Feng.
Li Xiaonian originally wanted Ling Feng to return to the royal palace with her to keep her company, but Ling Feng felt the Royal City wasn’t entirely peaceful yet.
As long as those lurking Bug Beasts or visitors from the Three Realms didn’t surface, Ling Feng couldn’t afford to relax.
After their farewell, Ling Feng remained atop the Royal City, with Little Fei, whose shell was almost repaired, showing up by Ling Feng’s side.
"Master."
Ling Feng nodded: "I’m sure there’s not just one Bug Beast inside the Royal City. Continue having your bug underlings survey the entire city. If they find anything suspicious, report back immediately."
"Yes!" Little Fei summoned a large number of insects, then relayed the orders, while also releasing from its body several highly perceptive, red insects—search pioneers—to survey various key points within the Royal City.
"This time, I must catch them all in one sweep, crush all their plots, and extract from them the way to reach the Three Realms."
...
Meanwhile, in a blacksmith’s shop within the Royal City, a muscular blacksmith holding a giant hammer collapsed on the ground.
The iron hammer smashed the stone tiles into fragments and even created a deep pit.
The blacksmith’s abdomen continuously wriggled, and soon a dark green tentacle burst out from his belly, yet no blood flowed from the hollow.
A mass of red figure jumped out from the blacksmith’s belly and fell to the ground.
The blacksmith’s body rapidly shriveled, his skin tightly wrapping around his skeleton, resembling a skeleton.
An eye emerged from the tentacle of the red figure, and a crack opened on its body, inside which red flesh wiggled while white sharp teeth quickly devoured the flesh, swallowing it into darkness.
This monster actually ate up all the flesh inside the blacksmith’s body!
After eating and drinking, the monster immediately flattened its body and slipped into a crack in the ground, disappearing.
...
Inside a pharmacy.
The pharmacy owner stroked his beard as he placed a precious herb into a hidden compartment, then smiled contentedly and entered the cellar again.
Looking at the perfectly preserved herbs, the owner was about to pick up a Eucommia to smell.
A yellow phantom flashed before the owner’s eyes, extending several claws midair to clasp the owner’s face.
Blood immediately poured out; the owner shrieked in pain, but those claws remained deeply embedded in his neck and brain, absorbing blood and nutrients.
The owner’s body slowly drained, turning into a skeletal form.
Meanwhile, the yellow creature continued to swell as the last drop of blood entered its body, finally releasing the owner’s face and neck, and leaping to the ground.
Suddenly, a red eye opened on the monster’s body, emitting a buzzing sound.
"What’s wrong, dear?"
Hearing the cellar’s wailing, the owner’s wife rushed over with the child to check. She stood at the cellar’s entrance, calling for the owner, but received no response.
The woman’s gaze gradually shifted, and she finally saw the owner’s corpse and the blood dripping on the ground. Before she could scream, the yellow creature lunged out of the cellar.
The monster extended several tentacles in midair, swiftly piercing the woman and child’s brains, instantly killing them, then draining their nutrients.
Two more crimson eyes appeared on the yellow monster’s body, emitting an evil glow. After killing three people, the monster contentedly disappeared into the ground’s crevice.
