Chapter 402 - Half a Step from Heaven Realm!
Chapter 402: Half a Step from Heaven Realm!
The Abyss Scorpion lived up to its name as a Hell Beast. Even if a longspear surrounded by spirit flames had pierced its body, it did not die. Instead, it struggled with everything it had and flailed its metal pincers and tail all over the roof, leaving behind holes in the reinforced concrete. Bits and pieces of it flew all over the place.
The Abyss Scorpion was about to upend the longspear when the burning griffin rammed into it like a shooting star.
In an instant, the Abyss Scorpion’s metal pincers and tail became straight. It was as if its body was filled with tons of magma, and it burned it to ashes. Howling flames crawled out of the gaps of its shell.
Even if it was hit repeatedly with a rocket launcher, its defenses might not have been destroyed, but now, it was burnt to a crisp.
Then, a person landed gently on the longspear.
When the woman’s foot touched the longspear gently, the longspear trembled. The griffin bared its teeth, and even the Abyss Scorpion’s shell flipped open.
There was only charcoal and ashes under the shell, nothing else. Now, it looked like an armor that had fallen apart.
The Abyss Scorpion was killed instantly!
Meng Chao widened his eyes. He was about to hug the newcomer’s legs and cry in happiness.
There was only one person in all of Dragon City who had such a domineering beast soul—his tutor’s wife, the ace lecturer of Agricultural University’s martial arts course, Griffin Li Yingzi, superhuman at the peak of Heaven Realm!
Compared to Lu Siya, who was a Heaven Realm superhuman who had switched from a mine explorer halfway through to a fighter, Li Yingzi was a young leader of the Beast Soul Style. She had perfected beast soul fusion and her coattails were thick, long, and made of 24k gold!
But before Meng Chao could throw himself into the arms of his tutor’s wife, he heard a thunderous explosion behind him.
It was as if there were hundreds of tigers roaring at the same time.
When he turned his head around, he saw Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu holding his standard broadsword that had a thick back and sawteeth. Flames that were more than ten meters long shot forward, and he swung the blade at the monsters at the edge of the roof. With a single swing, he cut more than ten of them into two. The unstoppable saber glare compressed air and formed an impact wave, and the monsters at the back row were swept off the roof.
It was fierce and domineering! He killed them with just one swing!
“Master Luo Wu is here too!”
Griffin Li Yingzi had just become a six-star superhuman, but Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu was a famous, veteran superhuman who had reached Spirit Armor Realm a long time ago.
Based on his own words, if it were not for the fact that his mental training was not sufficient yet and he was worried that his humanity would get twisted as well as that he would suffer from spirit energy deviation once he reached Deity Realm, he would have been able to reach a higher state a long time ago.
Two superhumans at the peak of Heaven Realm had arrived together, and they instantly delivered a major blow to the monsters on the roof. They also made the survivors calm down.
But that was not all.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
When more monsters rushed fearlessly to the roof because of the mastermind’s control and tried to tie down the two superhumans with numbers so that the remaining monsters could die together with the survivors, the sharp whistle of air being pushed through came from the dark clouds. Dozens of elite fighters dressed in nano-fighting suits and airtight armor landed heavily on the roof.
Meng Chao had never seen such exquisite armor before.
It gave off a crystalline feeling, and it did not seem like it was made of pure metal. Instead, it looked as if it was mixed with a lot of valuable crystals and monster materials. The fighting suits covered every inch of the fighters’ bodies. Even the eye area was embedded with two rows that had six green detectors attached to them. Instead of calling them humans, it would be better to call them human-like killing machines.
Each fighter carried an automatic ammunition backpack that was like a mini armory.
Once they landed, the backpacks opened on their own. Two shoulder-carried M61 Vulcans flipped themselves on their shoulders, and two heavy machine guns whose power was only second to the Type 45 machine gun appeared in their hands. The balance of the armor negated the recoil and ensured the most precise line of fire. Then, four unstoppable lines of fire were trained on the monsters.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The dozen fighters fired at the same time, and nearly one hundred lines of fire became akin to scythes harvesting weed.
There were also more than ten drones circulating the air at low altitude that were connected to the armor through information chains. They accurately provided them with directions and corrected their lines of fire to maximize the killing effect.
Even if Meng Chao was not interested in the Machine Armor Style, he could not help but gulp when he saw the mighty strengthened exoskeletons known as Heavy Fire Armor.
“They’re the best commandos Sky Pillar Corporation has, the Vulcan Commandos.” There was great pride in Lu Siya’s voice. “They might be Earth Realm superhumans, but the fighting suits and armor they wear are created with a lot of super alloys, and they’re embedded with a lot of supreme-grade crystals. We also had runic symbol masters carve runic symbols into them, so they’re definitely even more expensive than main battle tanks!”
Before Meng Chao could gasp in amazement, a sound that every Dragon Citizen was familiar with came from the depths of the dark clouds, and it was a sound that would make their blood surge whenever they heard it.
It was the sound of the steam engines from the Red Dragon Army’s armored airship fleet!
Amid the deafening rumbles, nine armored airships descended from the sky like steel demons.
The weapons mounted on the airships had diameters that were several times larger than the diameters of the weapons held by a single soldier.
They also had perfect cooling and ammunition provision systems, so their ability to provide heavy fire for a long time were higher by leaps and bounds.
The nine armored airships circled around Noble Descent Hotel. Nearly one hundred lines of fire intersected with each other to form an unbreakable wall of fire. If any monster dared to take half a step past the boundary line, they would be mercilessly torn to pieces until they were only the size of a fingernail.
Aside from the airships, more Heaven Realm superhumans also soared over from the distance with gliders.
A lot of Earth Realm superhumans used 3D mobile gears to rush over from between the buildings.
The armored vehicle squad from the Red Dragon Army also charged over from the smoke to Noble Descent Hotel. They immediately opened fire on the monsters.
The abnormal beasts had attacked Noble Descent Hotel through the underground tunnel, so it was impossible for them to mobilize a lot of firepower.
When Meng Chao had managed to predict the abnormal beasts’ target beforehand, the end result of the ambush was already set in stone.
Once Meng Chao saw powerful fighters and war machines descend on the roof and around Noble Descent Hotel and heard the roars of humans, the howls from guns, and felt the heat from the swords while they suppressed the zombies, monsters, and undead, he fell down on the roof with his limbs splayed. He sighed in relief as if a heavy burden was removed from his shoulders.
Next came the joyous occasion where his contribution points were calculated.
Fifteen minutes later, Meng Chao sat in a corner of a temporary medical camp while he shoved down free medical fluid and high-calorie nutritional fluid with the momentum of a T-rex at a buffet. He had his eyes half shut as he happily read the notifications from Kindling.
[Killed 213 Scythe Heads (normal monsters). Increased Skillfulness of heavy weapons by 99%. Increased level to Perfect Level. Increased contribution points by 5,312.]
[Killed 12 Golden Scythes (Grade 1 Nightmarish Beasts). Increased Skillfulness of heavy weapons by 12%. Increased contribution points by 3,411.]
[Killed Three-eyed Spider Wolves (Grade 1 Nightmarish Beasts)…]
[Killed unidentified undead named as Insect Carcass Amalgamation…]
[Killed Brain-rotting Insect (Grade 3 Nightmarish Beast. Increased Skillfulness of heavy weapons by 9%. Increased level to Ultimate Level!]
As the golden words “Ultimate Level” appeared before his eyes, the memories of him holding all sorts of murder weapons with huge diameters and blasting all sorts of monsters and evil creatures were unlocked in his mind.
The information flowed into his head like a tidal wave and gushed out from every crevice of his mind. They flowed to his entire body through his nerves and spirit meridians to train all his muscle fibers to gain the muscle memory of being able to control all sorts of heavy weapons.
Compared to when he first awakened to his previous life’s memories, Meng Chao could now easily endure the pain of the information bomb in his mind and would enjoy the pleasure of improving at rocket speed.
He did not just improve in terms of heavy weapon usage.
Ever since his fight under Raging Waves, he had not enjoyed fighting to his heart’s content.
The numerous times of near death and monsters shoving his head through Death’s door had stimulated the potential at the deepest parts of his genes and soul, allowing the power from the apocalypse to be released even more violently.
The fight gave Meng Chao a total of 17,000 contribution points.
And without any hesitation, he tossed one hundred thousand into the treatment of hidden injuries, the clearing of his spirit meridians, and the rapid digestion of gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid to increase his spirit energy.
As the one hundred contribution points turned into rays of golden light that surged into his organs and limbs, Meng Chao could sense all his blood vessels, nerves, and spirit meridians start shining. They were water in a river moving back and forth as the spirit energy fused with every part of his body.
The spirit energy grew like branches in the clear and crystalline river, then crawled out of his body through the 36,000 pores.
Meng Chao spread his palms and red flames gushed out of them.
With a single thought, the spirit flames started trembling at high speed. They spread into rings of spirit energy ripples. Even if he shut his eyes, he could still see everything within five meters.
He curled his fingers slightly.
Bloody Flame was by his side, and it jumped on its own onto his palm.
‘This is… the signs of reaching Spirit Wielding Realm!’ Meng Chao’s mind surged.
Spirit Wielding Realm allowed the superhuman to release his spirit energy outward and, through a certain frequency, resonate with the planet’s magnetic field. They could use that resonance to interfere with the molecular structures and even the atomic electron shell of various elements to perform basic changes to the states of those elements in the large world.
Lu Siya could turn sturdy rocks into soft sand and rock dragons with bared teeth. It was all thanks to her using this ability ingeniously.
A four-star superhuman was at Heaven Realm. They would mainly gain three divine arts—controlling items remotely, maglev, and interfering with materials.
Right now, Meng Chao was already figuring out the secrets of controlling items remotely. He was only half a step away from becoming a true Heaven Realm superhuman.
‘In just a short half a year, I’ve moved from nearly failing the national college examination to reaching the door leading to Heaven Realm.
‘My current self is already stronger than the person from my previous life in terms of cultivation realm.
‘Once I reach Heaven Realm, I will be considered to have really become strong. I will be able to unlock more memories from my previous life and secrets of the Other World. At the same time, I would be able to change more people’s fates. Then, I will crush the nightmare that is the apocalypse!’
Meng Chao drank a can of compressed nutritional fluid that had been diluted ten times before he casually crushed the tough metal can. He felt as if the fatigue from earlier was gone. Each of his spirit meridian was filled with burning spirit energy. When he looked down, his wounds had already healed. Light shone from his skin, which had never happened before. Each of his muscle fibers was now sealed with explosive power.
When he looked at the battlefield in the distance, he felt as if he had not fought to his heart’s content yet. He wanted to test his strength.
