Chapter 678: Annihilation

Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Annihilation

The Headless Giants possessed terrifying Power, frightening speed, and a formidable Undying Attribute. They could only be killed if they were cut into pieces or their cores were shattered.

Even an ordinary Demigod would have a tough time dealing with a single one of these Headless Giants. Faced with several thousand of them, even many Advanced Demigods would surely die if they didn’t flee.

But Shu Feng possessed the Shadow Jumping Skill. Furthermore, his Power and agility were comparable to a Divine Spirit, and his Swordsmanship had reached the level of Extraordinary to Saint. For him, slaying those Headless Giants was effortless.

The Headless Giants, who relied solely on their immense strength, were utterly helpless against his Shadow Jumping Skill. Shu Feng countered them perfectly.

One by one, the bodies of the Headless Giants were torn to pieces, scattering everywhere as foul blood splattered.

Zhen Kai exclaimed in admiration, "Incredibly powerful! And his combat technique is superb. He’s a true powerhouse, forged in countless battles!"

Liu Lang asked curiously, "Celestial Princess, can he really take down all those Headless Giants? Those monsters are no pushovers!"

Many people could easily swing a sword a thousand times through the air, but an ordinary person could never slay a thousand pigs with a sharp sword. Not only would the blade dull, but the swordsman would also expend a huge amount of strength.

The body of each Headless Giant was harder than diamond. Even a Spirit Saint-level Swordsman like Celestial Princess would have to use a special move just to break the skin of a single one.

Every Headless Giant Shu Feng killed also cost him a great deal of Physical Strength. Furthermore, each use of his Shadow Jumping Skill also consumed his Power.

Celestial Princess stared intently at Shu Feng and said slowly, "I don’t know! An ordinary Demigod probably couldn’t. But it might not be impossible for Shu Feng. His strength is unfathomable!"

An hour later, the last Headless Giant fell to the ground.

’These Headless Giants were quite a handful. They actually consumed twenty percent of my Demigod Power and ten percent of my Physical Strength!’

Shu Feng stepped out from a shadow, quietly sensing the changes in his body. Slaying several thousand Headless Giants had still taken a considerable toll on him.

A fervent glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’However, these Headless Giants are also top-level synthesis materials. They can be used to synthesize Spirit Saint-level Synthetic Beasts!’

Each of those Headless Giant monsters had combat power comparable to a Demigod. Once synthesized into Spirit Saint-level Synthetic Beasts, they would give Shu Feng another trump card—enhancing the power of his Blood Contract and providing him with more Summoned Creatures to absorb fatal blows.

After finishing off all the Headless Giant monsters, Shu Feng rested for an hour in front of the mysterious ancient city. He consumed countless Spiritual Medicines to fully restore his Demigod Power.

His powerful Constitution allowed his Physical Strength to recover very quickly, but replenishing his consumed Demigod Power required him to ingest Spiritual Medicine and absorb its energy.

The Nia Continent was permeated with a bizarre power that isolated Spiritual Power, making it difficult for Shu Feng to absorb it from the air to recover.

During this time, Shu Feng also summoned many Dragon Hunting Dogs to transport the corpses of the Headless Giant monsters one by one into his Base Space.

As soon as Shu Feng recovered, the group immediately proceeded to the gate of the mysterious ancient city.

The gate of the mysterious ancient city was a massive door made of a black alloy, upon which were inscribed countless mysterious runes.

With a thought from Shu Feng, a Spirit Saint-level Cyclops appeared.

The Spirit Saint-level Cyclops wielded a Half-divine Artifact-level battle-axe and swung it fiercely at the black alloy gate.

BOOM!!

Following a terrifyingly loud bang, the black alloy gate trembled slightly, revealing only a new dent.

Shu Feng looked at the countless mysterious runes on the black alloy gate, looking thoughtful. ’There’s no retaliatory force! Or rather, whatever retaliatory power it once had has now disappeared!’

In many ruins, the residences of powerful beings were often covered in various wards. The slightest touch could get one killed.

Of course, as time passed, if those powerful wards were not replenished with new energy, their power would drain, eventually causing them to disappear or transform into other strange phenomena.

Shu Feng took out a Semi-Divine Artifact, the Furious Greatsword, and channeled his Demigod Power into it. The blade of the Furious Greatsword instantly extended to ten meters, and countless mysterious Spirit Patterns appeared faintly on its surface.

"Since there’s no backlash! Then break for me!"

Shu Feng brought his sword down directly, slashing fiercely at the black alloy gate.

BOOM!!

As if countless heavy artillery shells had detonated at once, the black alloy gate instantly blasted apart, sending innumerable fragments flying in all directions.

Although the Defense Power of the black alloy gate was incredibly formidable, it couldn’t withstand the terrifying power of the Divine Spirit Level.

Celestial Princess thought to herself, ’What a monster!’

After destroying the gate, Shu Feng and his party entered the magnificent ancient city directly.

Shu Feng’s group was surrounded by a swarm of Dragon Hunting Dogs.

These Dragon Hunting Dogs had strong reconnaissance abilities and were cheap to create, making them perfectly suited to act as cannon fodder.

Before arriving at this ancient city, Shu Feng’s party had passed through many other cities, all of which seemed quite primitive and couldn’t compare to the modern cities of Blue Star.

But this ancient city was different. Every building within it was exquisitely crafted, the layout was very logical, and the streets were incredibly wide, able to accommodate eight horse-drawn carriages racing side-by-side.

Shu Feng asked with some curiosity, "Could this be the Royal City?"

Ding Xiaoxue said, "It’s possible! According to the Nia Epic, the Royal City was the birthplace of the Nia Civilization, a Miracle City blessed by a Divine Spirit. The Royal City contained many miraculous buildings and was the most prosperous and wealthy city. For the people of the Nia Civilization’s era, being able to move to the Royal City and settle down was the dream of a lifetime."

Zhen Kai suddenly spoke up, "Don’t you guys feel like something is missing here?"

Liu Lang asked curiously, "What?"

Celestial Princess said, "Bodies! Right?"

"Exactly! Everywhere we’ve gone, we’ve seen all sorts of skeletons and remains. Or monsters transformed from corpses. This place is too clean," Zhen Kai said slowly, looking around with a vigilant expression.

Liu Lang said, "Could the Headless Giants outside the gate be the monsters that the corpses from this city transformed into?"

Ding Xiaoxue said, "I don’t think so! The Nia Royal City was once a massive city with seven million residents. Even if they all transformed into monsters, it wouldn’t be just those Headless Giants."
