Chapter 2912: The Giants’ Purgatory


Denying time and skipping time might have the same results, but if the moment in time that Undying G.o.d had skipped were ever found, the heavy damage that he should have suffered during that moment would be returned to him. This thought triggered a flash of inspiration for Lu Yin; he wondered, why did it feel like Origin Tracer had been developed specifically to find such moments?


The moment of time that Undying G.o.d had skipped could be found with Origin Tracer. It seemed as if the two abilities had developed in tandem out of a need for mutual restraint.


There was nothing invincible in the universe, and everything had a counter. Undying G.o.d had successfully escaped from three sequence powerhouses, one of which was Lu Tianyi. That was quite a terrifying accomplishment. However, if Lu Yin’s Senior Brother Mu Ke had had the opportunity to use Origin Tracer, Undying G.o.d might not have been able to escape.


He could only be regarded as incredibly lucky.


Undying G.o.d would definitely reappear one day, but for the time being, he was seriously injured. Lu Yin did not believe that the power of time could be used casually. If it could, then how had Undying G.o.d suffered such grievous injuries during the previous battle in the Endless Frontier?


Lu Tianyi returned to the Origin Universe.


The a.s.sault on Undying G.o.d had failed, but it had also inspired the entire Sixverse a.s.sociation.


The fight had proved that Lu Yin"s suspicions were correct. At least some of the Seven SkyG.o.ds were hiding on the Endless Frontier, and it was also completely possible to find and kill another one or two SkyG.o.ds.


The better one understood the Seven SkyG.o.ds, the more terrifying they became. If even just one more of them was eliminated, it would be a tremendous blessing for mankind.


Proximity also made the battle public. The intention was to boost human morale, but the recordings also raised Lu Yin even higher in the realm of public opinion. He became the most talked about conversation topic for countless people throughout the Sixverse a.s.sociation. His crusade had also become the focus for everyone.


Countless expectations were placed upon the two battalions as they fought their way towards the three most dangerous universes on the Endless Frontier. These three parallel universes had never been purged, and they were always occupied by sequence powerhouses.


These three parallel universes of the Endless Frontier were also known as the Three Purgatories.


Regardless of whether one belonged to the Sixverse a.s.sociation or Aeternus, those universes were absolute h.e.l.l.


Upon seeing the spatial tunnel up ahead, the jiao plunged through it.


Boom!


A deafening roar practically stunned the entire second battalion, and it also startled Lu Yin. He looked up and gazed into the distance. There, he saw ma.s.sive forms attacking each other. They were colossal giants.


There were not just one or two colossal giants; there were an endless number, all bound with chains. They fought throughout the entire universe, fighting against each other while letting out deafening roars. The sounds of collisions and impacts shattered the universe in every direction, and the void constantly warped and broke out, causing spatial tears to spread out like exploding raindrops.


The countless members of the second battalion were blown away by the sights before them, and they gazed in stupefaction as chains whipped about. Flesh was cleaved in two, and blood poured out. A severed arm larger than a mountain fell off of one of the giants, and enough blood to fill a lake fell down, sprinkling onto the nearby chains.


The jiao went bug-eye, and its claws moved to block the broken chains flying at them. It raised its head and let out a tremendous roar.


That drew the attention of the colossal giants. Each one was about the same size as the jiao, and they could all treat mountains like mere clumps of dirt.


The presence of so many ma.s.sive giants put a great deal of pressure on the second battalion.


Even the jiao’s arrogance was suppressed, and its roar died down. These giants did not have the strength of Progenitors, but their killing intent surpa.s.sed most peak powerhouses’. Even the colossal giants that only possessed the strength of Envoys or Semi-Progenitors looked at the jiao with eyes that viewed everything as prey.


A miserable expression appeared on Mr. Daheng"s face. He had actually been forced into the Giant Purgatory. Did Lu Yin really intend to try to sweep across the entire Endless Frontier?


It was a good thing that the second battalion was so strong. With two sequence powerhouses, four peak powerhouses, and Lu Yin, who was more powerful than most Progenitors, the second battalion appeared to have the strength necessary to sweep right through the Endless Frontier. However, the Three Purgatories were completely different from any other battlefield in the Endless Frontier. Not once had any of the three universes been purged, and no one could guess what the Aeternals had sneakily prepared to defend their position in the Three Purgatories.


Even without having to fight against the Aeternals, the Three Purgatories were obstacles that were difficult to get past. The Giants" Purgatory, where the second battalion currently found itself, was a perfect example. There were two leaders among the colossal giants, and each was an absolute monster.


At this time, another group of people rushed through the spatial pa.s.sage. It was the Giant Army, led by Ku Wei.


The army of colossal giants had been following the second battalion across the Endless Frontier. Because the giants were too big to ride the jiao, their division had followed behind the rest of the army. Upon entering the newest parallel universe, they had the same stunned reaction as the rest of the second battalion.


"What the h.e.l.l? Where did so many giants come from?" Ku Wei was confused.


Chen Huang was shocked. He had thought that his own clan was the only people to carry the blood of colossal giants. He had never even considered the possibility that there might be colossal giants on the Endless Frontier. Not only were there other giants, but these giants were much bigger than the ones from the Origin Universe. None of them were shorter than the patriarch, Chen Huang, and a casual glance revealed that all of the combatants in the the Giants" Purgatory were about 100,000 meters tall.


No, these giants were different from the ones in the Giant Army.


"Patriarch, these giants are different from us." Chen Ling was afraid.


Ku Wei had noticed the same thing. "There are two different breeds. One has only one eye, while the other carries mountains on their backs. What kind of giants are these?"


If almost anyone else had made such a comment, Chen Huang would have slapped them across the face. Was that any way to describe other people? However, given that Ku Wei had made the comment, Chen Huang could only endure the insult. What could he do to the person who had brought about a transformation for the race of colossal giants?


"Giant is a rather general term, as it simply describes something with a ma.s.sive body. Just like with humans, if they remain in the ocean for too many generations, their appearance will change. Not all giants are descended from the same line, and these giants are much larger than us colossal giants. To them, we are nothing more than lesser giants," Chen Huang replied.


Of course, Ku Wei already knew all of this, and he had just been amazed by the sight before them.


Lu Yin"s eyes were steely as he looked about, observing the Giants" Purgatory.


The Giants" Purgatory also had its own unique laws.


The universe was occupied by two different kinds of colossal giants. One type of giants were cyclops , while the other race carried mountains on their backs. They looked similar to the giants that Lu Yin had once encountered during a trial, as those giants had also carried mountains on their backs as a form of defense. The difference was that the mountain-backed giants that Lu Yin had seen before had only been 100 meters tall, while the giants in the Giants" Purgatory were even taller than Chen Huang. These creatures were estimated to be as tall as Progenitor Chen’s clone, though, of course, there was nothing to do an actual comparison to.


Progenitor Chen had managed to achieve an incredible size even with the same bloodline as Chen Huang and the other colossal giants from the Origin Universe, but the giants in the Giants" Purgatory were far older than Progenitor Chen. Given their size, they should not even be referred to as colossal giants, but rather as super giants.


The giant cyclops and the enormous giants carrying mountains on their backs had both been trapped by the laws of the universe of the Giants" Purgatory. The chains that bound all of the giants had forced them to fight against each other for countless years. No new giants had been born in many years. But the number of giants had not decreased because they were all unable to die. Even when their bodies were torn apart, the laws of the universe would reform their bodies.


For these two races of super giants, the laws of the Giants" Purgatory were not laws, but rather a curse.


It was a curse that could only be lifted if one of the races was quickly and completely exterminated. Without that happening, the endless battle would continue.


Of course, before reaching the Three Purgatories, Lu Yin had learned everything he could about the three parallel universes.


He had checked and learned that the giant cyclops and the mountain-backed giants both possessed similar levels of strength, which was why neither side was able to wipe out their enemies in a short amount of time. Even with Aeternus and the Sixverse a.s.sociation joining the battlefield, a balance had been established.


It was impossible for either side of the war to quickly destroy an entire race of super giants.


This stalemate was the current condition of the Giants" Purgatory.


Regardless of their cultivation level, the super giants were all so large that their attacks were completely unrelated to their cultivation. In fact, the giants did not even use their cultivation bases, instead fighting with brute force. It was the most primitive method of combat.


"I don"t know who cursed these two races of super giants, but they have been fighting for countless years. Their war has never stopped," Mu Ke commented in a low voice.


Lu Yin grew curious, "The Sixverse a.s.sociation doesn"t know?"


Mu Ke shook his head. "No, but it was the Aeternals who first found this parallel universe. At that time, they wanted to help the mountain-backed giants destroy the cyclops, but then the Sixverse a.s.sociation stepped in, forming the current balance. The Three Purgatories are the center that the current Endless Frontier grew from.”


Boom!


Boom!


Boom!


There was never a moment of quiet. With the second battalion gathered close to the spatial portal, it was as though they had been squeezed into a corner of the universe by the giants’ battle.


Before entering this universe, Lu Yin had already considered how to purge this particular universe. Eliminating Aeternus’s forces in the universe would be too difficult, as the mountain-backed giants would never agree. They could only survive in the Giants" Purgatory because of the Aeternals’ support.


Off in the distance, huge bodies collided.


The jiao raised its claws, and a ma.s.sive body slammed into the jiao. The resounding impact rang in everyone"s ears.


The mountain shattered. The super giant that had fallen towards the second battalion was a mountain-backed giant, and the jiao’s claws destroyed the giant’s mountain before tossing the giant away.


None of the super giants in the Giants" Purgatory could die. It was not allowed by the laws of their universe. For this reason, they were not afraid or intimidated by the jiao, but being immortal did not mean that they could overcome the gap in strength between them and the jiao.


Regardless of the super giants’ size, the jiao could still sweep through them.


The only beings that Lu Yin feared were the Cyclops King and the Mountain-Backed King. Those two were absolute monsters, whose sizes were comparable to Corpse G.o.d’s.


The enormous mountain-backed giant that had been tossed aside by the jiao was bleeding from half of his body. When he finally came to a stop, he looked up and glared at the jiao. There was no fear in the giant’s eyes as he charged at the jiao, an arm raised to smash the beast.


It was a shocking sight, as regardless of the giant’s strength, its sheer size was already intimidating.


Just as the jiao was about to take action, Ku Wei shouted, "Master, let your disciple handle this!"


He then winked at Chen Huang. The Giant Army could not be treated as a mere decoration, and it only made sense for giants to fight against giants.


Chen Huang stepped forward. He was now 30,000 meters tall, which was nearly three times taller than when he had first met Lu Yin. The giant’s strength had also risen by a comparable amount.


As Chen Huang looked up at the approaching mountain-backed giant, his eyes suddenly flared, and he let out an enraged roar as he leaped up with his own hand raised. Boom! There was a loud impact, and a shockwave spread out that took many people’s breath away in the second battalion.


This was not a battle between two powerhouses, as the second battalion had already witnessed multiple fights between Progenitor-level combatants. These two giants were only at the Envoy level, but the visual impact of their clash was on an entirely different level.


Both Chen Huang and the mountain-backed giant had the strength of an Envoy, but Chen Huang also had battle force. Nine-lined battle force erupted, letting Chen Huang grab the arm of his opponent and throw him away.


From a distance, it looked like a child tossing an adult aside. The mountain-backed super giant was at least 50,000 meters tall.


But size was not everything.


Chen Huang dropped down, his expression somber. He had only faced off against a single super giant. As he looked around this universe, he could not even estimate how many super giants were in here. It was possible that their numbers were not particularly high, but their enormous size made it look as though they filled the entire Giants" Purgatory.


Suddenly, chains shot over from a different direction. They were clearly targeting Chen Huang.


The colossal giant was startled, but before he could even react, the jiao swung its claws and smashed the chains apart. Another vicious swipe tore through the void, and the jiao slaughtered another mountain-backed giant.


Lu Yin lifted his head. "Forward!"
