A flaming giant, 60 meters tall, appeared, its body clad in earthy yellow armour made of flames, with a dragon-shaped helmet atop its head.
It was as if a god or demon had descended into the world!
Its terrifying power was overwhelming!
If the body of the Colossal Titan was still flesh and blood, then the Emperor's Giant, into which Xiao Feng had now transformed, was more like the "Susanoo" from Naruto, formed entirely from the wind and fire attributes of heaven and earth's energy.
Xiao Feng's position within the giant shifted from the back of the neck, where ordinary giants are controlled, to the centre of the Emperor's Giant's head—the place with the most vigorous defence.
"Walking on air, a Dou Zong!!!"
Under the astonished gaze of Queen Medusa and others, the Emperor's Giant, controlled by Xiao Feng, unexpectedly stepped into the air and began to rise!
"Dragon Subduing Palms!"
A thunderous shout emanated from within the Emperor's Giant, followed by a violent wave of both hands, summoning two earth-yellow fire dragons, each over 100 meters long, which shot toward the distant dunes.
"Boom! Boom! Boom…"
With terrifying explosions, the two fire dragons instantly reduced the several hundred-meter-high dunes to ash, leaving behind a massive crater several hundred meters in diameter. The extreme heat transformed even the sand within the crater into glass.
"Gulp!"
Seeing this, Yue Mei couldn't help but swallow nervously.
Had she been struck by that move when she faced Xiao Feng earlier, it would have been impossible to survive!
Even Queen Medusa's pupils constricted. The power of the Emperor's Giant's strike had reached the level of a low-tier Dou Zong, and she wasn't confident she could take it head-on.
Before the shock could fade from everyone's faces, the Emperor's Giant, composed of wind and fire energy, suddenly dissipated into the air.
"Boom!!!"
Xiao Feng, who had been hidden inside the head of the Emperor's Giant, fell straight from a height of tens of meters, crashing into the desert and creating a human-shaped crater.
It wasn't that Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian didn't want to catch Xiao Feng, but they hadn't expected that, even with flight abilities, Xiao Feng would still fall so miserably.
By the time Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian snapped out of their shock, Xiao Feng had already hit the ground, and the two quickly rushed to his side.
"Young master… are you okay?"
"Ah Feng, are you alright?"
Under the concerned gazes of the two women, Xiao Feng, pale-faced, muttered, "Nothing left, not a drop of energy left."
As the saying goes, success comes from the wind, but so does defeat.
Although the strength of the Armored Giant and the Colossal Titan was far inferior to the Emperor's Giant, their energy consumption was small, requiring only physical stamina.
But the Emperor's Giant was different. It was entirely formed by gathering heaven and earth energy, and when Xiao Feng controlled it in battle, the primary consumption was his Dou Qi.
Thus, after barely unleashing the "Dragon Subduing Palms" move, Xiao Feng's Dou Qi was utterly drained, leaving him without even enough to activate his Purple Cloud Wings.
If not for the fact that Xiao Feng's physical strength had reached a level comparable to a fifth-tier magical beast, he might have actually died from the fall.
Ling Ying, hidden in the shadows, took a long while to recover from his shock, silently thinking, "The flame giant young master Xiao Feng summoned just now… it felt like the legendary Dou Emperor True Form!"
The Dou Emperor True Form is a technique only Dou Emperor-level experts can use. It allows one to absorb the essence of heaven and earth into one's body, forming a colossal figure that can devastate the world with a single move.
Of course, the Emperor's Giant that Xiao Feng summoned could only be considered a weakened version of the Dou Emperor True Form, less than one ten-thousandth of its power.
But even so, it was still incredibly shocking!
After all, Xiao Feng's cultivation was only at the seven-star Dou Shi level. Yet, after transforming into the Emperor's Giant, he could unleash power comparable to a low-tier Dou Zong.
If the younger generation of the Gu Clan knew about this, their jaws would indeed drop.
"The young miss's judgment is indeed sharp!"
Ling Ying, who initially thought Xiao Feng wasn't a match for Xiao Xun'er, now realised he had been shortsighted.
Seeing Xiao Feng transform into the Emperor's Giant and surpass his strength, Ling Ying knew his protection duties had come to an end. Silently, he left to report to Xiao Xun'er.
Xiao Feng lay in the sand pit for a while, using his mid-tier earth-level technique, Nine Transformations of the Swirling Dragon, to recover some Dou Qi before climbing out of the crater.
In fact, Xiao Feng could have directly consumed the fragments of the green cocoon left behind after his two transformations to restore his Dou Qi and improve his cultivation quickly.
However, Xiao Feng didn't plan to do so. His cultivation had increased too quickly over the past two days, and consuming the cocoon fragments now could lead to an unstable foundation.
Xiao Feng planned to spend about half a month refining his Dou Qi before using the cocoon fragments to enhance his strength further.
"Alright, since you're fine, let's go!"
Seeing the colour return to Xiao Feng's face, Queen Medusa finally spoke up, urging, "Taking a disciple is no small matter. We need to hold an official disciple ceremony in the Serpentfolk's royal city and invite the heads of the major tribes to witness it."
Previously, Queen Medusa had called Xiao Feng "human" or "boy," treating him like a junior.
Now, after seeing Xiao Feng transform into the Emperor's Giant and unleash power on par with a low-tier Dou Zong, she subconsciously regarded him as a peer.
"Please be patient, Your Majesty. Before heading to the Serpentfolk's royal city, we need to retrieve something first."
Queen Medusa frowned slightly and asked, "What is it?"
"The Green Lotus Core Flame!"
Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Before discovering the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame Flame, Qing Lin and I also found a Green Lotus Core Flame.
Unfortunately, it was hidden deep in a sea of lava, and we didn't have the ability to retrieve it at the time.
But now, it's different. I've already refined the essence of the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame Flame, which allows me to convert Dou Qi into Wind and Thunder Fury Flame Flame, enough to protect us from the lava's heat so we can take the Green Lotus Core Flame.
The Green Lotus Core Flame is ranked 19th on the Heavenly Flames list, weaker than the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame Flame, but more suitable for assisting your bloodline evolution."
In theory, Xiao Feng could directly use the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame Flame to help Queen Medusa complete her bloodline evolution.
But considering the original plot, Queen Medusa nearly died from the Green Lotus Core Flame's heat during her bloodline evolution, let alone the more powerful Wind and Thunder Fury Flame Flame.
If Xiao Feng accidentally burned Queen Medusa to death, the Serpentfolk would surely come after him!
