Miracle Throne

Chapter 169: Dangerous trial space

Chu Tian and the other six ran as fast as possible.

“The crossroad is too long, we won’t be able to cross it in such a short period of time.” Yun Xiao shouted as he ran, “Those fellows wouldn’t take the chance to chase us, right!”

“No!” Chu Tian was very certain with his answer, “They will definitely run in another direction. Stop slacking off and run faster, otherwise we’ll run into some big trouble!”

The seven of them released their spirit energy to the limit and their bodies were covered in spirit energy. They ran as fast as they could to reach the pathway, but they were still too slow!

Dong, dong, dong, dong!

A burst of earth shaking footsteps.

A giant with thick armour in a riding position slowly stood up in front of them. His body was covered in a set of jet black armour just like a giant can. His helmet had a T shape in the middle, releasing a blue and white light, and he had a giant hammer in his hands.

Nangong Yun shouted in surprise, “How could there be anyone this big in the world?”

Feng Caidie, Yun Xiao, and the others were stunned.

This was too shocking, it surpassed a human’s imagination!

Who else would be able to see a person as big as a dragon?

Even the heaviest boats in Central State City could not compare with these giants. They were big enough to match several houses placed side by side. A single finger was as large as a person’s thigh and just standing in front of them, it was enough to completely block off their line of sight!

Just the cold armour around the giant would weigh several hundred tons. Melting it down and recasting it would be enough to arm an entire army.

“How do we fight this?” Yun Xiao shouted, “His fart could send up flying and he could squash us with his butt just by sitting down!”

This was not exaggerated at all!

This giant was incredibly heavy and had pressure that was like a mountain, even a 4th Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator would not be able to block him. This giant’s body alone was incredibly strong!

Inside the pathway, there were large hands that were stretched out as more giants awoke. Soon this entire area would be surrounded by giants.

This was the first time participating for Lin Mu, Fang Han, and Feng Caidie.

Their faces turned pale in this moment.

This was the Central State Trial?

This difficulty was too big. It hadn’t even been half an hour since the trial began and they were already in this kind of hard to survive situation. It was unknown what methods the people in the past had used to survive over one hundred hours in here!

This was already Yun Yao’s second time participating and although it was very difficult, Yun Yao still showed a very calm expression, “Everyone, stop being upset! It is impossible for this kind of trial to not give us a chance to survive. Although these giants are very strong, they still move very slowly. As long as we do not force contact with them, we can easily dodge them.”

Indeed.

Chu Tian had solved the cube lock puzzle very quickly and they had left the cages as fast as possible. Even with this kind of situation, they still encountered this hammer wielding giant.

The trial would not throw a person into a dead end right from the beginning.

Then there was only one possibility.

This giant hammer wield giant was a test for anyone trying to run away. No matter how fast they ran, they would still run into this giant. They could only truly run away after escaping this hammer giant’s grasp.

“Trespassing on this forbidden ground!”

“Death!”

The sound waves poured over them.

The walls around them shook and the dust on the floor flew up into the air, completely decreasing their visibility. They could only see a heavy armoured giant wielding a giant hammer walking towards them with earth shaking steps.

A kind of visible violent power began to condense around the hammer!

Everyone felt like their chests were stuffed up and their qi and blood began to turn. This pressure was very overbearing, but they still forced their chests to relax.

It seemed like.

They weren’t fast enough!

Whether it was their ability to act or their ability to gather their strength, it all seemed very slow and they couldn’t react in time.

Violent thunder appeared around the Thunder Spirit Bead and it turned into a giant thunderbolt as it attacked the giant’s head. Large sparks instantly flew out and the giant’s helmet was melted.

Nangong Yun was filled with joy, “It’s head has been exploded! It’s dead!”

Yun Yao was worthy of being in the 4th Awakened Soul Layer. No one else here could possibly match this destructive might.

The Thunder Source Spirit was already very powerful, and with the amplification effect of the Thunder Spirit Bead, her one attack would be stronger than Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang’s full power attack by three times. After the giant was hit by this attack, he was sent back several steps, but he did not fall.

Chu Tian’s pupils contracted, “This is wrong! Be careful!”

Even though half of the giant’s helmet had been melted, it seemed like nothing was wrong. The giant hammer was slowly raised and then heavily smashed down in front of him.

A terrifying shock wave was sent out!

The entire floor was shattered!

The horrifying impact completely overwhelmed the seven of them.

Giant cracks began to appear in Chu Tian and Nangong Yun’s starlight gauzes and was about to be shattered to pieces. Feng Caidie, Yun Xiao, Lin Mu, and Fang Han all spat out blood. Even though Yun Yao had a deeper cultivation, she had used all her spirit energy in her attack, so she was caught off guard and was injured.

This fellow was too strong!

Although the hammer missed, just the shock wave was almost enough to kill them.

Yun Xiao crawled to his feet with great difficulty. It felt like all the bones in his body had been broken!

He could not help thinking about what would have happened if his elder sister had not pushed the giant back a few steps, causing the giant to miss his attack. What would the result have been like? Just the shock wave alone was enough to cause half of them to be near death.

This cold and silent armoured giant once again slowly raised his hammer. A pair of emotionless eyes stared at the tiny humans who were just like insects. The helmet that had been attacked by the Thunder Spirit Bead also slowly began to heal.

It seemed like he did not care about being hurt at all!

That vicious energy slowly began to condense once again.

“Quickly, run!”

Could they not run? This fellow had such thick skin that even Yun Yao couldn’t deal with him, so how could the others do anything to him!

The seven of them quickly went beneath the giant’s feet and ran as fast as they could past the giant. It was a good thing that the giant moved slowly and condensed his energy slowly. When the giant slowly turned around, the seven of them were already sixty meters away.

Hong!

The heaven shaking hammer fell once again!

The incomparably strong shock wave chased right after them.

“Fuck! How can a person even survive this! This trial is just too abnormal!”

The shock wave quickly caught up and a wild force pushed them from behind. It was like the seven of them was pushed forward by a wild wind, flying high up into the sky and being sent several meters away. The seven of them were thrown into the pathway.

It had sent them pretty far, which clearly meant that the shock wave was quite strong!

The armoured giant silently and slowly lifted the hammer once again, he was just like a cold killing machine without pity or emotions. If he didn’t kill with a single strike, he would use two strikes. If two strikes didn’t kill, he would use three strikes. Until the enemy died, it seemed like he would would continue to attack without stopping!

“He’s chasing us!”

“Quickly, run!”

The seven of them quickly ran with the hammer wielding giant chasing after them. Every time the hammer fell, a terrifying wind storm would be sent forth. The seven of them were sent flying time after time, but they continued to rise up and run forward.

“This is bad!”

“It’s catching up!”

“My bones are broken, I can’t run anymore!”

Chu Tian lifted Yun Xiao who had broken his leg and continued to run, but continuing to run was not the right method. Several people had already been heavily injured and it was impossible to continue resisting the giant’s attack!

A spiritual glow appeared!

“Fang Han, freeze the ground!”

Fang Han revealed an understanding look and released his Ice Giant Source Spirit. Wherever one could walk, the ground was covered in a thick and smooth ice.

That hammer wielding giant chased after them, but when his foot landed on the ice, he immediately lost his balance. Just like a giant mountain falling over, a large explosion rang out as he fell to the ground.

“This is a good opportunity!”

“Quickly, quickly, run!”

This was taking advantage of the giant’s low intelligence!

Chu Tian could only think of this method for now!

In terms of its destructive might, it was already encroaching the True Soul Realm!

They were this distressed just by having the hammer land beside them. If the hammer ever landed on them, they would be instantly eliminated!

Even though Chu Tian had heaven defying knowledge, against this kind of iron giant and in this kind of situation, he had no other methods of dealing with him.

Fang Han ran as he created mirror like ice right behind him. The giant did not get to to take two steps before falling down again.

After falling several times.

The seven of them had already disappeared.

“Fuck, we’re saved!” Yun Xiao supported himself with a pillar as he spat out a large mouthful of blood onto the ground. Then he coughed a few times, “It hurts so much! My lung feels like it’s been shattered into several pieces already!”

Feng Caidie’s face was also pale and she gently coughed while covering her mouth. Blood was flowing from the gaps between her fingers, showing that she was clearly heavily injured.

Lin Mu and Fang Han were not much better off compared to Yun Xiao, they almost had no more strength to run with anymore.

Yun Yao gave a serious frown, “This year’s smelting trial seems even more difficult than before!”

Only Yun Yao with a higher cultivation base, and Nangong Yun and Chu Tian who had a strong defense were not heavily injured. It was all because they were lucky that the giant was stupid, slow, and predictable, otherwise not a single person would have escaped.

“My condition…..I’m afraid I can’t walk anymore!” Feng Caidie held her chest and revealed a pained look, “I don’t want to drag you down, just don’t mind me!”

Chu Tian knit his brows.

This is bad!

The problem was that several of them had suffered heavy injuries and could no longer run away if they were chased again. The most terrifying thing was that the trial had just started, so if they ran into the giants once again, they would be faster and smarter this time, and had could possibly use martial arts or cultivation techniques.

With several people heavily injured, could they go on like this?

Chu Tian took out a jade bottle from his chest. This was the Bottle of Life that he had brought out of the ancient tomb and could gather Water of Life that could heal their injuries, but there were too many people injured and a single bottle was not enough.

Yun Xiao spoke with a bitter look on his face, “I’m not playing anymore! This is not a place human can set foot in! Old sister, elder sister, boss, you three don’t need to worry about me! Go by yourselves!”

Yun Yao gave a bitter laugh.

She could not blame him.

The trial this time was too abnormal!

Lin Mu suddenly said, “I have a method to heal us. Everyone stand beside me.”

Fang Han walked up beside Lin Mu. Yun Xiao and Feng Caidie were stunned for a few seconds, but they also walked over. Lin Mu released his source spirit and a giant willow tree quickly grew behind him, releasing a green light that shined onto their injuries.

Something incredible happened.

The four of them felt their injuries quickly healing.

Lin Mu’s willow tree source spirit was full of vitality, but it slowly began to wither. After their injuries had been healed, the entire willow tree had become dried up.

Yun Xiao said with a surprised tone, “Brother! You’re quite good! Your source spirit can even heal people!”

“It’s not healing, rather it’s absorbing injuries!” Lin Mu had consumed too much spirit energy and his head was currently covered in sweat. When the willow tree was bare, he revealed a bitter smile and said, “My source spirit has been temporarily sealed and it’ll be two-four hours before I can use it again. Everyone should try as hard as they can to not get injured during this time.”

Not being injured for two-four hours?

This was very hard to do!

A little furry head popped out of Chu Tian’s chest and used its claw to point to the left as it let out a warning sound.

“There’s something there!”

A black mass came running right at them.

Looking at it, there seemed to be around fifty-eighty of them. These fellows were not incredibly tall giants, but they were still around three meters tall with builds three times bigger than those of normal humans. They were only wearing shorts and completely revealed their chests. There were hammers, long blades, and even bows in their hands as they charged over.

“It’s cyclopes!”

There were too many of these monsters, they basically formed a little army. They were charging forth incredibly fast like a wolf hunting down its prey.
