"Young friend, our Giant Clan and the Great Strength Beast Clan are about to erupt into war. You should first come back with us to our clan. Staying outside would be very dangerous," one of the giants said to Ye Yunfei.
"These big guys might have tempers like gunpowder and are ready to fight at the drop of a hat, but they are clear on debts and gratitude, straight-shooters you can trust. Right now, there are over a dozen Heavenly Emperors waiting for you outside this planet. Leaving at this moment would be quite troublesome. It would be better to rely on these giants for now and plan your next move from there," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"Let's go, young friend." The giants turned and began to leave.
These giants had massive bodies; with a single casual step, they could cover a vast distance, and their walking speed was astonishingly fast. However, Ye Yunfei's speed was also extremely swift. He continuously performed spatial jumps, keeping close behind the giants.
Seeing Ye Yunfei's movement technique, the giants also repeatedly praised him.
The personalities of these giants were very straightforward. They found Ye Yunfei agreeable and were extremely warm and enthusiastic towards him.
Not long after, they arrived at a vast and crude city. The city covered an immense area, stretching as far as the eye could see. However, the architectural style within the city was very simple and rugged, almost uniformly built from piled giant stones. Towering giants moved about within the city, their heavy footsteps constantly rumbling, making the earth quake with a thunderous roar.
"Elder Qi, it was this young friend who told us of Miss Qi E's whereabouts," a giant said after entering the city, bringing Ye Yunfei before a tall and burly old man.
This Elder Qi stood tall as a mountain, his lifeblood aura majestic like a dragon, his muscles developed. It seemed boundless power lay dormant within his body; even the slightest movement caused the surrounding air to compress with a rumble.
"An ordinary Heavenly Emperor would definitely be no match for this Elder Qi!" Hun Lao couldn't help but exclaim.
"Young friend, thank you!" This Elder Qi had tightly furrowed brows and a worried expression, but upon seeing Ye Yunfei, he immediately showed a warm smile.
"Young friend, you rest well here for now. I must now take people to rescue my daughter. After I bring her back, I will properly entertain you." Elder Qi seemed extremely anxious. He was worried about his daughter's safety. Because the Great Strength Beast Clan was notorious for its cruelty, his daughter being in their hands was extremely perilous.
"In that case, I'll come along to take a look as well," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before speaking.
The Giant Clan and the Great Strength Beasts were both races adept at strength. Once a fight broke out, the scene would certainly be spectacular. Ye Yunfei didn't want to miss that. Although Ye Yunfei had come to the Tianpo Realm this time to evade pursuit by the Three Great Heavenly Emperors and the Heavenly God Palace Master, he also wanted to use this opportunity for training and improvement.
With Ye Yunfei's current strength, there weren't many suitable training grounds left across the three size worlds. The Tianpo Realm, however, contained many terrifying dangers and formidable experts. For Ye Yunfei, it was an exceptionally rare training place.
"You're coming too? Young friend, those Great Strength Beasts are no weaklings, especially the powerful experts among them who can blast beings at the Heavenly Emperor level to pieces. Once the two clans clash, the battlefield will become extremely dangerous. You'd better not take the risk," Elder Qi, hearing Ye Yunfei's words, couldn't help but be taken aback. In his eyes, Ye Yunfei seemed far too weak.
"Elder Qi, rest assured. Although my strength may not compare to yours, I am nimble enough. I won't come to harm," Ye Yunfei said with a smile. As his words fell, Ye Yunfei directly activated his Space Teleportation Token, vanishing instantly, only to reappear in the distance a moment later. For short-distance teleportations, this token did not require Space Crystals.
"So you have such a teleportation treasure, young friend. Very well. If you truly wish to go, then come along. When the time comes, I'll assign several powerful clansmen to protect you." Seeing Ye Yunfei's insistence, Elder Qi thought it over and reluctantly nodded.
"By the way, young man, since you brought us news of my daughter, this is the reward I offer you. Please accept it." Elder Qi took out two blood-red gems, roughly the size of an adult's fist, and handed them to Ye Yunfei.
"What are these?" Ye Yunfei asked curiously.
"These are inner pellets born within the bodies of some powerful Great Strength Beasts. They are precious treasures for Body Tempering. Upon ingestion, they generate power within the body. However, young friend, your physique is too slender. You must be very cautious with these two pellets. It's best to take them slowly, little by little, over a period of several months. Do not swallow too much at once; otherwise, there is the danger of bodily explosion," Elder Qi said with a grave expression, cautioning sternly.
After speaking, Elder Qi turned to muster his forces.
A short while later, several elders of the Giant Clan led a mighty force marching grandly towards the territory of the Great Strength Beasts. This force numbered tens of thousands of giants!
The upper echelons of the Giant Clan were truly furious this time, hence dispatching such a large force. The overall population of the Giant Clan wasn't very large; sending out tens of thousands could indeed be considered a major mobilization!
Boom...
Tens of thousands of giants running collectively across the earth—the scene was utterly terrifying! The entire world trembled with it!
Standing on the shoulder of one of the giants, Ye Yunfei watched the dense mass of giants charging ahead all around him, secretly marveling.
"This kid has really hit the jackpot, managing to gain the favor of the Giant Clan!" From high in the sky in the distance, the Soul Emperor lurked within space, watching Ye Yunfei from afar and gnashing his teeth. With so many experts of the Giant Clan present, he dared not reveal himself.
"These inner pellets of the Great Strength Beasts, after ingestion, generate power within the body?" At this moment, Ye Yunfei thought of the two inner pellets given by Elder Qi and couldn't resist quietly taking one out to study.
"Let's try swallowing one." Ye Yunfei's physical body strength was incredibly formidable; he had no fear of the risk of bodily explosion. He directly swallowed one.
Rumble...
After being swallowed into Ye Yunfei's abdomen, the terrifying medicinal potency of the pellet erupted instantly, like a bursting dam flood, rushing throughout his entire body.
Boom...
From every pore and cell of Ye Yunfei's body, mighty roars erupted. Burst after burst of savage, divine power continuously birthed, flooding throughout his form.
Ye Yunfei felt his physical body strength beginning to climb steadily!
"These inner pellets really do generate power!" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but be overjoyed.
After the time it takes for half an hour, the medicinal potency of that inner pellet was finally completely refined and absorbed by Ye Yunfei. He discovered that his physical body strength had increased by over three thousand Jiao!
"Excellent! I'll swallow the second one too!" Overjoyed, Ye Yunfei immediately swallowed the other inner pellet.
Rumble...
The sound of vast, mighty reverberations transmitted from within Ye Yunfei's body. His physical body strength began climbing steadily once more!
Another half an hour later, Ye Yunfei found his strength had increased by another three thousand plus Jiao!
The two Great Strength Beast inner pellets had increased Ye Yunfei's strength by over six thousand Jiao! Now, Ye Yunfei's physical body strength had reached over twenty-six thousand Jiao!
"If I could obtain a large batch of these Great Strength Beast inner pellets, then my physical body strength would undoubtedly undergo a staggering increase!" Ye Yunfei's heart burned with fervor.
"From what that Elder Qi meant, only the powerful Great Strength Beasts produce these inner pellets within their bodies. Wanting to get more of them will be very difficult," Hun Lao, understanding Ye Yunfei's thoughts, spoke up.
"I'll see what opportunities arise," Ye Yunfei replied.
Several hours later, they finally began to enter the territory of the Great Strength Beasts. On the flat horizon ahead stood a dense mass of Great Strength Beasts, like a tide, with no end in sight. Their vast, savage auras converged together, soaring skyward, dimming that part of the heavens.
"Halt!" A Giant Clan elder roared.
Tens of thousands of giants instantly stopped in unison, a perfectly choreographed maneuver.
"Hand over my daughter immediately! Otherwise, today I will trample the headquarters of your Great Strength Beast Clan and wipe out your race!" Elder Qi charged forward, shouting in rage.
He doted on his daughter, treating her as the apple of his eye. That she had now been captured and was going to be used for cultivation—how could he accept such a thing? He vowed that even if he had to stake his old life today, he would rescue his daughter!
"Spare the empty words! This is the territory of our Great Strength Beast Clan. You Giant Clan forces, get out now, or we commence battle!" From within the Great Strength Beast army, a towering Great Strength Beast strode out. His lifeblood aura was vast as a sea, and he bellowed in a voice like thunder. The power aura released by this Great Strength Beast was no weaker than Elder Qi's.
"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to be said! Warriors of my clan, heed my command! Trample the headquarters of the Great Strength Beasts! Kill!" With his heart set on rescuing his daughter, Elder Qi had no mind for debate with the other side. In a furious rage, he waved his hand, directly declaring war.
Kill!
Tens of thousands of giants roared in unison, their rolling soundwaves rushing skyward, threatening to overturn this corner of the world. Then, tens of thousands of giants raised various weapons and charged toward the Great Strength Beast forces. Most of the weapons used by these giants were made from special stones or wood—immense in volume and incomparably hard.
Kill!
The Great Strength Beast forces also surged forward like a tide.
And thus, a fearsome, great war began.
Both races were adept at strength, and the techniques they employed were also very simple, almost exclusively direct clashes of brute force. Only the upper echelons on both sides had relatively higher-level techniques and martial arts at their disposal.
From the moment the battle began, this part of the world shook violently, as if gripped by a terrifying massive earthquake that did not cease for a single moment. Even more terrifying, the space within this battlefield was also being shattered, with dark, pitch-black spatial cracks continuously appearing and spreading everywhere, a shocking sight.
"The two sides seem evenly matched," Hun Lao transmitted his voice to Ye Yunfei.
"Both races excel in strength, and from the looks of it, they are long-time rivals. They've likely fought many battles before, so it won't be easy to determine a victor anytime soon," Ye Yunfei observed for a moment before speaking.
"Only the powerful Great Strength Beasts have inner pellets. But the battle has just begun; those powerful beasts won't fall so quickly." Ye Yunfei was watching those powerful Great Strength Beasts, intending to see if he could swoop in to scavenge a few inner pellets after they fell. However, for the moment, none of the powerful beasts had perished.
"Hun Lao, since the armies of both clans are battling, how about we secretly sneak into the headquarters of the Great Strength Beast Clan and rescue that Miss Qi E," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and then said to Hun Lao.
