Chapter 1327: Another Giant
The grand hall here appears very empty, yet exceptionally grand, with each standing pillar and the patterns on them exuding a mysterious aura, an ancient atmosphere rushing forth.
Yang Yan looked around, only to experience a spiritual shock, but nothing more was gained.
Then he lowered his head again, his gaze burning as he stared at the scroll in front of him, falling into brief contemplation.
Perhaps he still needs to take a risk.
Because even though his Spiritual Power had elevated to a considerable level, when he released it to probe the scroll in front of him, he found that he still couldn’t rely on Spiritual Sense to touch it.
It was as if an invisible barrier surrounded him, sealing away all information about it and obstructing the exploration of Spiritual Sense.
Yang Yan steadied himself, squatted down, and slowly extended his hand.
Just as his hand touched the scroll, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, inwardly shouting "not good."
Without a sliver of hesitation—Yang Yan, who was already fully on guard—reflexively pushed off with both feet, swiftly leaving the place where he had just stood.
In the instant Yang Yan dodged, the spot he had stood at was hit, stone fragments flew, dust soared, the floor caved in, and a giant palm imprint seemed to appear out of thin air.
In mid-air, Yang Yan gasped as he saw the scene before him.
What immense power this palm had, to unleash such horrific force.
The dust dispersed, revealing a gigantic humanoid creature before Yang Yan.
It was entirely bronze-colored, with each joint connected by several large screws.
Curiously, the golden giant puppet was covered in dense, differing spots with a shining metallic luster.
After the empty palm strike, the giant did not pause, instantly locking onto its target, raising its hand to launch a palm at Yang Yan.
Even though clearly aware that this was merely a trial within the Secret Realm, upon witnessing the power of this palm strike, Yang Yan couldn’t avoid being terrified.
The power of this palm was so immense, it actually contained the strength to tear through space!
Without the slightest hesitation, Yang Yan propelled his remaining Wish Power, forcibly executing an Instant Teleportation, vanishing from the spot out of nowhere.
He knew well that merely fleeing was meaningless; he needed to defeat this giant to leave this place.
Then he’d be able to obtain the scroll and gain new Secret Techniques.
Nascent Void was summoned by him once again, though it remained slumbering, unable to communicate with Yang Yan, yet as an Ancient Divine Artifact, its own strength was not to be underestimated.
Which is why Yang Yan would not actively use Extreme Soldiers or other weapons unless absolutely necessary.
Because in this space, wielding any other weapons would drain Spiritual Power or even Wish Power.
This place differs from the outside world; unable to harness nature’s forces, entirely reliant on self-output, effectively diminishing over time.
The only replenishment comes from the Secret Treasures acquired after each trial.
The Nascent Void in his hand was once again treated as a Wolf Fang Club by Yang Yan, directly colliding with the giant head-on.
Bam—
A sound akin to metal striking metal, accompanied by immense recoil force, made Yang Yan’s blood surge, sending him flying sideways.
As for the giant puppet in the head-on clash, it merely retreated half a step.
Yet at least its frenzied attacks were momentarily halted, offering Yang Yan a moment’s respite.
Yang Yan’s eyes focused, enlarging the Nascent Void before fiercely launching it towards the giant.
Boom—
The clash of two immense forces shook the entire hall, with countless ashes descending, reducing visibility to its lowest at once.
As the two clashed, the giant let out a low roar, forcibly knocking the Nascent Void back into Yang Yan’s hand.
This creature’s body was unbelievably tough.
Yang Yan smacked his lips repeatedly.
During that moment, Yang Yan also activated Wish Power, hoping to win in one strike and end the battle instantly.
Unfortunately, it was clear that the opponent was not injured.
Yang Yan’s eyes darkened, realizing that defeating it with force was impossible, opting to abandon physical attacks and attempt using the newly acquired Spiritual Attack.
Yang Yan madly condensed his Spiritual Power, finally compressing it into a tangible beam, directly impacting the giant’s sea of consciousness.
However, the result left him very disappointed.
The giant seemed to lack any awareness, entirely unaffected.
Strange?
Earlier, it was clearly angered, indicating it should have consciousness, right?
Why couldn’t he sense any soul fluctuations now?
In the brief moment Yang Yan was slightly distracted, the giant puppet commenced its frenzied attack.
Fortunately, Yang Yan reacted swiftly, seeing the giant puppet’s palm sweeping over, leaped up, narrowly avoiding it, escaping unscathed.
Having evaded a fatal blow, the giant puppet roared again, seemingly accelerating.
Nonetheless, Yang Yan’s silhouette was much smaller, relying on his nimble form to twist and turn in mid-air, always finding gaps to dodge lethal moves.
Though appearing perilous, he always managed to avert disaster.
While evading the giant puppet’s storm-like attack, Yang Yan continuously searched for opportunities.
Gradually, he made an incredible discovery.
The points on the giant’s body seemingly corresponded to all human acupuncture points!
A point represented an acupuncture point’s location.
However, somewhat different from familiar points, it seemed there were more than usual.
Yet Yang Yan wasn’t surprised, as some mysterious points are unknown to ordinary people.
Evidently, whoever created this giant puppet had profound knowledge of human acupuncture points, understanding some unknown points as well.
Having discovered the pattern, Yang Yan wished not to remain passive; he intended to attack.
Although lacking absolute certainty, he had to try, right?
To ensure safety, Yang Yan continued to observe, even attempting some probes with Nascent Void during his dodges.
By this time, Nascent Void no longer looked like a Wolf Fang Club, transforming into a flexible Nine-Section Whip.
Following some probing, Yang Yan was confident; his suspicion proved correct, the silver spots indeed represented acupuncture points.
Yang Yan evaded another strike by the giant puppet, suddenly retracting Nascent Void, then waved both hands, shouting: "Five Extremes Soldiers, emerge!"
Five weapons symbolizing the extreme of all existence responded, circling around Yang Yan.
After dodging the giant’s attack once more, Yang Yan seized the opportunity, lightly cried out, emitting green light, Water Element Extreme Soldiers soared, quickly aiming for the giant puppet’s chest.
Once impaled, the giant paused momentarily, almost immediately recovering, its speed seemingly increasing.
Seeing this, Yang Yan’s confidence surged.
Indeed!
It appears one acupuncture point is insufficient.
Let’s try other places...
