God of Pets-Chapter 424: Possessed by the Golden Giant

Like a star exploding, everything within a radius of dozens of meters was destroyed, creating a large pit.

The Golden Giant lay on its back in the pit, with a large hole torn through its chest, penetrating its body.

Not far behind the Golden Giant, there lay another person, none other than Hu Quan.

Xiu Jie Ming’s punch forcibly separated the Golden Giant and Hu Quan.

Hu Quan was covered in blood, mostly his own.

He had been wrapped by the Golden Giant in the coffin, merging to become a part of it.

Although his body was not under his control, his consciousness was still clear, witnessing everything that had just occurred.

He saw the terror of the Golden Giant and the prowess of Fu Tianji and Xiu Jie Ming.

He had long heard that Xiu Jie Ming was powerful, yet he was still shocked by the terrifying combat power Xiu Jie Ming displayed. Compared to it, the power he prided himself on was nothing.

Hu Quan now believed that even a Four Awakened Cultivator might not be a match for Xiu Jie Ming in a battle.

Looking at Xiu Jie Ming standing like a god on the opposite side, Hu Quan felt this person was incredibly powerful, to the point where he seemed inhuman.

Xiu Jie Ming stood in the pit, looking at the Golden Giant, his mouth twitching slightly.

Crack!

A faint sound seemed to emanate from within his body.

Xiu Jie Ming’s pupils contracted instantly, and he couldn’t help but clutch his heart, stumbling and dropping to one knee.

There were fine cracks appearing on his heart.

Repeatedly using Returning to the True Self continuously strengthened his physical body.

But like tempering iron, while Returning to the True Self increased his body’s strength, it also reduced its resilience. In such a powerful collision, his heart, both hard and brittle, developed fissures.

At the same time Xiu Jie Ming had a problem, the Golden Giant, lying motionless on the ground, suddenly opened its eyes again, flashing with a terrifying golden light.

In the next moment, the Golden Giant stood up straight and charged fiercely at Xiu Jie Ming.

Fu Tianji dashed to intercept, blocking the Golden Giant, eight arms flailing wildly, and eight Secret Divine Artifacts smashing towards the Golden Giant.

The moment the Golden Giant’s body was struck, it suddenly disintegrated into golden particles, forming golden cords that bypassed Fu Tianji and shot towards Xiu Jie Ming.

Xiu Jie Ming looked down at the golden chains, struggling to stand up, but the moment he moved, his heart shattered, freezing him on the spot.

The golden chains wrapped around Xiu Jie Ming, enveloping him entirely in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the Golden Giant stood once more, but this time, Xiu Jie Ming was the one merged with it, making the Golden Giant’s body more robust and perfect.

"Done for!" Hu Quan desperately backed away, sheer terror gripping his heart.

He had been possessed by the Golden Giant before and knew what being possessed by it entailed.

All his abilities, even his memories and experiences, would be used by the Golden Giant.

With someone of Hu Quan’s strength, the Golden Giant could unleash terrifying power using his abilities.

Now that the Golden Giant possessed someone like Xiu Jie Ming, gaining his abilities and battle experience, the power it could unleash would be even more terrifying.

Dragging his injured body, Hu Quan turned and ran, desperate to escape this cursed place. But as he exited the pit, he saw Chen Guan walking out of that stone house.

Chen Guan had been monitoring the outside situation all along.

Seeing Xiu Jie Ming repeatedly using Returning to the True Self to enhance himself, his talent also issued a reminder: "Recorded Absolute Secret State Returning to the True Self is in Second Stage Form, on record..."

Chen Guan was astonished, seeing for the first time that the Absolute Secret State had a Second Stage Form.

The power Xiu Jie Ming unleashed next took Chen Guan by surprise, astounding him with the strength of the Second Stage Form of Returning to the True Self. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

He also knew that under normal circumstances, there was no way to activate the Second Stage Form of Returning to the True Self. Only because Xiu Jie Ming had those Secret Knowledge could he manage it.

Even Xiu Jie Ming himself couldn’t use the Second Stage Form of Returning to the True Self again, unless he had such an opportunity again.

Xiu Jie Ming’s mighty blow against the Golden Giant left Chen Guan in awe.

But unexpectedly, the situation took a drastic turn; Xiu Jie Ming’s body failed, resulting in possession by the Golden Giant.

"Dammit... what is this..." Chen Guan couldn’t help but curse.

The Golden Giant possessing Hu Quan was already terrifying.

Now possessing Xiu Jie Ming, they had even less hope of winning.

Chen Guan rummaged through the entire stone house without finding a way to deal with the Golden Giant, but he did see the "Ancestral Life-saving Technique" on the inside of the coffin lid.

Like Hu Quan, Chen Guan found it strange, yet he read it through and memorized it.

It was indeed a method of praying to ancestors for protection, not a combat Secret Skill.

Just like burning incense and praying to gods regularly, it seemed to seek psychological comfort rather than unleash powers using Primordial Energy, nor did it provide any methods for using Primordial Energy.

Much like Hu Quan, Chen Guan found it unlikely to be useful.

Could simply saying a few words and asking the deceased ancestors really garner their protection?

Such fortune doesn’t exist, at least not in Chen Guan’s mind.

Bam!

Fu Tianji’s Profound Iron Mace struck the Golden Giant’s head.

The Golden Giant’s head remained unharmed, but the Profound Iron Mace, the Secret Divine Weapon, showed signs of bending.

Fu Tianji was stunned, and Chen Guan’s heart filled with dread.

The Golden Giant seized the Profound Iron Mace and, with a forceful pull, lifted Fu Tianji and the mace, smashing them into the ground, then kicked him away.

Fu Tianji crashed into the wall of a stone house, collapsing half of it, his body buried beneath the rubble.

The Primordial Energy erupted from the Golden Giant, forming clouds in the sky due to its abundance, spreading out and covering the village’s night sky.

The Golden Giant’s Golden Body became continuously transparent, akin to Gold Crystal, as the Primordial Energy surged.

"Can this guy even use Xiu Jie Ming’s Returning to the True Self state?" Chen Guan’s face grew even darker.

The original Golden Giant was already invincible, but now using Xiu Jie Ming’s Returning to the True Self state, it seemed truly invincible within the Third Awakening.

Hu Quan, in a panic, turned to flee frantically, but he had barely escaped two steps when the Golden Giant, appearing like a Gold Crystal, teleported in front of him.

In terror, Hu Quan unleashed all his might, using the Sun God Fist to strike the Golden Giant.

But the scorching power of the Sun God Fist couldn’t harm the Golden Giant in the slightest. Instead, it made the Golden Giant appear even more glorious, its radiant golden light like divine brilliance.
