Alone and Infinite

Mimi's vision was so limited that she assumed other races were like herself and the stone men, possessing some kind of unique attribute.

Mimi took Li Xia's dragon scales as a racial characteristic and racked her brains to guess what Li Xia's 'racial attributes' were.

But in just a short while, Mimi gave up guessing.

The rising temperature nearby made his head feel increasingly dizzy.

When Li Xia passed through the last platform and was about to reach the top of the volcano, the two little ones, including Mimi, who were already dizzy from the heat, couldn't help but feel a surge of energy.

It’s finally here!

Once you step onto the last step, the entire view from the mountaintop unfolds before your eyes.

On the huge circular crater was a fairly large platform, which was where Li Xia was standing.

On this platform, there is a towering platform that stands out abruptly, with boiling lava flowing beneath it.

Endless heat rises from these lava rocks, straight upwards.

The air was distorted by the high temperature, and even the 'sun' overhead was slightly distorted.

"This should be it—"

Li Xia glanced down at the Heart of Stone in her hand, the thin beam of light pointing directly at the high platform.

"Nothing?"

Aowu forced himself to look around, but was somewhat disappointed:

"Does that mean they know nothing at all? They thought this ancestral land might hold some kind of treasure."

Not all questions have answers.

Li Xia shook her head and strode forward:

"Moreover, we are still on the road, and our mission is not yet complete. It would be too early to say that we know nothing."

Let's put it up there and try it out.

It's called a high platform, but it's really just a platform made of stones that's five or six meters high.

Sure enough, there was a statue at the top.

The figure in the sculpture is still blurry, but judging from the posture, he is kneeling on the ground, as if he is praying or begging for something.

The statue's hands are clasped together with palms facing upwards, as if catching something or holding something up.

Li Xia looked at the statue for a while, and finally her gaze settled on the hands.

He stepped forward and placed the Heart of Stone in the statue's hands.

"click"

The heart of stone collided with the statue, producing a crisp sound.

The smooth stone rolled in his palm, and several pairs of eyes were fixed on the Heart of Stone.

Until the stone stopped moving altogether.

"That's it?" In such a high-temperature environment, Aowu didn't even want to use his brain; he just wanted to quietly stay in the water.

Li Xia didn't speak, but just frowned and stared at Shi Zhixin.

Suddenly, the Heart of Stone trembled rapidly, and a beam of light shot into the sky from the hands held by the statue.

It plunged straight into the top.

"Rumble"

The vast space seemed to be filled with rolling thunder, and the deep yet enormous sound resounded from all directions.

"Woo——————"

Strange cries echoed all around, and the lava in the crater below boiled and churned, like huge waves rising up.

"Boss, look at the sky!"

Li Xia looked up and saw that on the other side of the 'fake sun' hanging ten thousand meters in the sky, another 'fake sun' suddenly appeared.

Two suns in the sky?

Not only Li Xia, but Heitan and Mimi also stared wide-eyed at the two extremely bright spheres in the sky.

Just then, an unbelievable guess suddenly popped into Li Xia's mind.

But as the sphere grew brighter, his expression became increasingly grim.

It was even somewhat horrifying.

"These two are eyes!"

Li Xia finally whispered her guess.

Eye???

Aowu and Heitan were stunned for a moment, and when they looked at the two huge and bright spheres in the sky again, they couldn't help but feel frightened.

The kitten's fur stood on end, and it leaped onto Li Xia in a flash.

"Such big eyes?! How big must the body be???"

Even his voice changed slightly; he had only ever dreamt of being ten thousand meters tall.

But now there is this colossal creature, over ten thousand meters tall, whose eyes are still so enormous, and whose light can even illuminate the entire vast space.

How big must his body be?

"Tianbi Mountain! The entire Tianbi Mountain is his body!!"

Mimi around her waist squealed like a chick with its throat being choked.

Tianbi Mountain?

Aowu and Heitan were thinking it was impossible, but those 'eyes' were clearly visible in the sky.

And as these 'eyes' began to rotate, the strange sounds from all around grew louder and louder.

A dense shower of gravel rained down from above, accompanied by billowing dust.

How could a monster over 20,000 meters tall exist in a third-tier world?

Who the hell can beat this?

Even the Serpent Emperor Dragon and the Lava Mountain Dragon, who reign supreme in the second-tier world, are nothing compared to the Tianbi Mountain, which is over 20,000 meters high.

One slap and he'd be dead!

"Among the legends of our people is the legend of a giant monster, a monster as big as a star, invincible!"

Defeated in battle with an unspeakable monster, he fled in panic!

Therefore, a monster of this size is not impossible!

Mimi's voice was sharp and urgent; he spoke quickly and kept urging:

"Run!! This monster is beyond human capability to defeat! Are we just waiting to die?"

Li Xia and Heitan were momentarily stunned, but considering the strangeness of Tianbi Mountain and this peculiar mountain within a mountain...

Imagine a monster, tens of thousands of meters tall, crouching down, enveloping an 8,000-meter-high volcano.

All the strange things now have an explanation!

"Run! What are you waiting for!"

Mimi's voice was almost cracking; she didn't want to die, not at all!

"It's too late, and I'm not going to run away!"

Li Xia shook her head, her voice remaining calm.

Scott's right eye had already transmitted the scene from afar.

Following the earlier disturbances, the entrances to those caves collapsed one after another, making it impossible to get out even if one wanted to.

Most importantly, Li Xia's mission was not yet complete, and he believed that the Temple of Light would never let him fight against this monster that was tens of thousands of meters tall.

Just then, the loud noises around them suddenly subsided, and the falling rocks gradually stopped.

The entire space returned to calm, with only the enormous eyes still hanging in the sky.

"it's over?"

Aowu stared blankly at his surroundings, still somewhat shaken, and asked.

Even the kitten's fur gradually returned to normal.

"Should I?" Mimi didn't know what was going on either. Her bright green eyes darted around, trying to find something.

Suddenly they all shivered, as if someone had poured a bucket of ice-cold water over their heads.

A tingling, needle-like numbness surged from every corner of my body.

My throat felt like it was being choked, and even breathing was difficult.

"Meow"

Black Charcoal's ears tilted back, its two little paws covered its neck, and its howls were slightly better than the dragon's. It shrank into the dragon egg, while its exposed tail trembled incessantly, causing ripples to spread through the water inside the egg.

This was its instinct to escape, but the little dragon quickly recovered, gritted its teeth, and crawled out of the egg. Although still trembling, it resolutely landed on the black charcoal's head, gently pressing down on the kitten's head in a comforting manner, and asked somewhat hoarsely:

"Boss, what's this?"

Li Xia did not answer. He tensed up more than ever before and walked forward step by step.

They continued until they reached the edge of the platform, staring at the boiling, churning lava below.

He also felt the strange sensations of Aowu and Heitan, and they were even stronger.

And he knew exactly what it was; it was intuition, the instinct when encountering something extremely dangerous.

The dark golden lava below became even more rampant, and a large chunk of thick magma suddenly bulged up.

Then a figure slowly rose from the lava.

The figure had its head down, was naked, and its skin had patterns resembling those of a stone statue.

Its body was extremely strong, and the magma remaining on its body flowed down and dripped.

The suffocating, icy feeling that had almost overwhelmed them suddenly vanished without a trace.

It's as if it never appeared.

Black Charcoal lowered his hands in bewilderment, still unaware of what had happened.

But Li Xia and Mimi's expressions turned even more grim. One of them was an apostle who had experienced countless life-and-death battles.

One is High Priest Griggan, who has lived for too long and is now a wise and experienced man.

They all knew that the danger wasn't gone, but rather that it had become beyond their perception.

"You really want to fight this kind of monster?"

Mimi's voice sounded like the rubbing of two rough sheets of sandpaper, hoarse and frightening.

Those bright green eyes had shrunk to the size of pinpoints.

Li Xia took a deep breath, as if the rising heat and strong sulfur smell around him did not exist.

His gaze was fixed on the figure suspended in mid-air.

Before their eyes, the figure finally moved; the figure, which resembled a stone man, slowly raised its head.

A strikingly handsome face was revealed, a face that seemed to have been sculpted from a single block of marble, possessing an unreal beauty.

His strong body was also covered with marks that looked like they had been cleaved by knives and axes.

His eyes were filled with confusion, but they eventually fell on Li Xia and the others on the platform not far away.

An astonishing aura emanated from the figure's body.

The surrounding heat and thick smoke were pushed away by this force, and the surroundings were instantly cleared.

Even the most obtuse person understood what was about to happen.

A notification from the Hall of Light popped up at the opportune moment.

[Executioner, the special mission has entered its second phase!]
