Chapter 985: The Ancient Stone Platform and the Elemental Giants
Editor: Henyee Translations

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan was not in a rush but decided to record all the ancient runes around him first. These runes might represent an ancient technique worth studying.

He transformed into a beam of light and surveyed the entire ancient platform, finding nothing but runes and foundation stones that constituted this area.

However, Jiang Chengxuan frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss. The ancient stone platform was clearly indicated as the exit by the Heavenly Calculation Technique, yet after scouring the area, he found no exit or any transport mechanism.

This suggested that the ancient platform was not merely a simple teleportation node but likely harbored some special function. Given his recent ordeal through the meteor showers, Jiang Chengxuan felt uneasy, suspecting that the owner of this place might have left some kind of test here.

Immediately, he adjusted his breathing to perfection and quickly activated Heavenly Calculation Technique within him. Once again, the prophesied world materialized in his mind.

This time, what appeared in his mind’s eye was an altar-like structure, confirming his suspicion that this place served a purpose beyond mere transportation.

To his surprise, in the four cardinal directions of the ancient stone platform—east, south, west, and north—something seemed buried, harboring immensely terrifying energy. These forces manifested in four colors: blue, red, green, and purple, resembling four massive stars suppressed beneath the platform, yet seemingly ready to burst forth at any moment.

Jiang Chengxuan’s expression turned grave.

He had inspected these four spots before; indeed, they were densely inscribed with ancient runes.

Rumble!

Just as he prepared to investigate further, a tremendous roar suddenly filled the space. The ancient platform violently shook as if it were a small boat in a giant wave.

Four massive energies erupted from the platform’s corners, each like a giant stone pillar connecting to the void. These energies also contained incredibly powerful Dao auras, hinting at the existence at Dao Mastery level.

The blue pillar manifested a reversed galaxy three thousand feet tall with ceaseless waves, emanating the tremendous force of the Water Dao, dyeing a corner of the void like an ocean.

The red pillar emitted intense heat from the Fire Dao, with branches of fire extending like a giant tree reaching the sky, setting the heavens aflame with red.

Where the green pillar erupted, it whipped up a destructive storm, tearing the void apart with its ferocious Wind Dao, forming a vacuum.

The purple pillar thundered, unleashing countless devastating bolts of thunderous purple electricity, each miles long, scarring the void like wounds of the heavens.

Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder.

These four forces were incredibly destructive and aggressive, clearly indicating trouble had arrived at his doorstep.

Under the onslaught of these four violent and destructive forces, the entire stone platform was completely engulfed, turning into a veritable inferno.

Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan reacted in time and manifested the Five Elements Samsara World, creating a sanctuary. Outside this world, waves of fury, celestial fire, wild winds, and rampant thunder rolled in, with continuous explosions in the air as the forces of the Dao collided, causing the void to tremble violently.

However, the ordeal was far from over.

In Jiang Chengxuan’s solemn gaze, the intensifying forces of the four elements triggered the mysterious runes on the ancient stone platform.

The runes lit up one by one, shining into the void like countless stars.

Then, they shot out from the platform, imprinting on the four elemental pillars and arranging themselves into a peculiar humanoid formation.

It appeared that the ancient runes were not meant to seal these terrifying forces but were instead prepared to activate them.

Rumble!

As the runes attached, the four giant elemental pillars suddenly began to contract toward the center.

Under the influence of the rune power, they twisted into various shapes, like dough being kneaded, constantly changing form until finally, the runes tightly enveloped them, forming four immense giants.

They donned battle armor made from the ancient runes, each displaying the power of the element they represented.

The four giants of Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder stood at the corners of the platform, making the vast area suddenly feel cramped.

This was not just due to the terrifying size of the elemental giants but also because of the fearsome aura they emitted.

The runes on their bodies corresponded with those on the platform, as if they were the overlords of this place.

Their terrifying presence seemed to warn anyone who entered that they would face their destructive power.

ROAR!

The four elemental giants suddenly roared, unleashing an invisible wave that included an attack on the primordial spirit. If one were not well-versed in this aspect, a single encounter could cause injury.

Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan’s mind was protected by the Vast Heaven Divine Jade, which fluctuated and nullified this first wave of attack, sparing him from immediate harm.

Yet the formidable nature of these four giants made Jiang Chengxuan take the situation even more seriously. He hadn’t expected that beyond their powerful elemental forces and Dao rules, they would also possess primordial spirit-attacking capabilities. If it weren’t for the Divine Jade’s protection, he might have found himself in a dire situation.

The destructive power of the elements combined with primordial spirit attacks, especially coming from four giants at once, presented a scenario of unimaginable terror.

Moreover, this was only the second wave of danger he had encountered in the immortal cave abode. Compared to the meteor shower, this was far more perilous.

Indeed, the immortal cave abode was no easy place to navigate, filled with both great opportunities and grave dangers.

The meteor shower might have seemed easier, possibly because its true dangers had not fully emerged before Jiang Chengxuan had managed to escape. But with these Four Elemental Giants, there was no avoiding the confrontation.

Now, the only option was to fight.

Fortunately, having emerged from the meteor shower with the help of Heavenly Calculation Techniques and without expending too much energy, Jiang Chengxuan felt somewhat prepared. Otherwise, he would likely be facing even more significant difficulties.

Despite the terror of the Four Elemental Giants, Jiang Chengxuan was not an easy opponent either. He found the situation challenging but not overwhelming.

“Come on then, let’s see what else you’ve got, immortal cave abode!” Jiang Chengxuan shouted, his fighting spirit blazing as he addressed the void above.

The Four Elemental Giants then launched a ferocious attack.
