Meng Chao and the other two crawled up desperately.

They were urged by the sound of the chisel hitting stones repeatedly behind them.

When Meng Chao was unable to help himself and looked back for the first time, he could still see Lin Chuan. His body looked as if it had been cast by iron. He seemed to have become one with the stones.

They crawled forward another ten meters, and he looked back a second time. But all he could see were sparks, and all he could hear was deafening noise.

They crawled out of the dark and winding crack, and he turned his head around for the last time. He saw red flames surging about in the depths of the crack, but he did not know whether it was the flames from the Red Radiance Jades or the Undying Bird flapping its wings.

“Big Sis Ya, we...” Meng Chao looked at Lu Siya.

“We go.”

From the moment they left Lin Chuan, Lu Siya never looked back.

Her blood seemed to have bled dry from the moment she bit her bottom lip. Her skin was pale, and there was no expression on her face. She just moved through the Slit-mouthed Anaconda carcasses on the ground silently. Once she found the suspension cable hanging on the wall, she climbed up mechanically.

Qin Hu scratched his moustache and asked in spite of himself, “Hey, brat, is that Big Brother Lin of yours reliable? After all, in the beginning, he wanted to blow up the Red Radiance Jade mine. Now...”

Before he could finish, Meng Chao grabbed his collar tightly. His angry expression was terrifying enough to make even someone at the peak of Earth Realm shudder in fear.

Qin Hu was heavily injured and his limbs were barely moving. He could not lift a nail clipper, let alone his saw-toothed saber. When he saw that Meng Chao was as strong as before, he quickly explained himself.

“I-I’m saying that he’s near death. Could he make those holes perfectly?”

“Since you don’t believe in Big Brother Lin, why don’t you go and help him?” Meng Chao enunciated each of his words clearly.

Qin Hu laughed awkwardly. “No, it’s just a misunderstanding. I would never suspect him. He’s willing to stop the spirit energy tsunami and save Dragon City, after all.”

“That’s right, I trust that Big Brother Lin can stop the spirit energy tsunami,” Meng Chao whispered. “As for saving Dragon City, we’ll leave it to the millions of Dragon Citizens to do it!”

He grabbed the suspension cable and climbed up with all his strength to leave the endless darkness underground for the light that would definitely exist, even though it was faint.

Above their heads was Raging Waves. Around it was Graveyard Forest, and further away was Shattered Starlake.

At some point in time, a large amount of dark clouds had gathered in the sky. As lightning crackled and thunder roared, the world shone with a faint red light, and it was as if a bloody sea had started raging above the area.

Monster birds flapped their wings in the forest, and countless falcons, eagles, and even rocs who were usually very fierce panicked like headless flies. They crashed into each other, and as if their violent tendencies had been amplified ten times, they started pecking and tearing at each other until both sides fell to the ground.

In the depths of the mountain, all sorts of ferocious pests and carnivorous animals seemed to have sensed that the raging tsunami underground was about to sweep through the world. They became uneasy and paced around. As if they had gone mad, they crashed into towering trees and sturdy walls, either breaking them or ending up bruised and battered. It made them look even more monstrous and terrifying than before.

“ROAR!”

A three-headed griffin with black flames surrounding it flew above Raging Waves and let out a roar that rang through the heavens.

Rustle!

An Apocalyptic Beast that was dozens of meters long and looked like an extra large version of a mammoth popped up from its elusive cave. It extended its powerful nose and curled it around a towering tree that would require a few people to hug it. The creature uprooted that tree and threw it several kilometers away. It used this method to vent the pain of its blood boiling and burning its organs.

Buzzzzzz!

Countless blood-sucking insects that were larger than dragonflies flew up and formed a black fog that constantly changed shape. They flew to the flock of birds like headless flies.

After the birds were surrounded by the black fog, they started screeching in pain. In less than half a minute, their blood was sucked dry and they were reduced to mangled corpses.

The blood-sucking insects had not had their fill. They flew out of Raging Waves and flew to the humans in Graveyard Forest and Shattered Starlake.

In the deepest parts of Raging Waves was a large cave. A thunderous roar came from it, and it caused the entire mountain range to tremble.

“What’s going on?”

Even the one-star superhumans staying in Shattered Starlake sensed their blood churn. Their spirit energy went slightly out of control.

Since they had awakened a lot of their optical cells in their eyes, they could see Raging Waves in the horizon and that it was covered by dark clouds. The mountain was getting a little red from wisps of red air gushing out from the depths of the mountain. They were dyeing the entire world red.

“What’s going on?!”

The middle-grade and high-grade superhumans who were fighting fiercely against the Hell Beasts in Graveyard Forest were shocked.

“Why did the monsters become so much more violent? Even the etherealized plants have become more active. The speed of my spirit energy circulating has become faster as well. It feels like someone added fuel to my vitality magnetic field. It’s going out of control!”

“What’s going on?”

A few of the Deity Realm commanders who gave orders in the northern offense were deep inside Raging Waves. They rose into the air, and their gazes were profound as they stared at the ground under their feet.

“Father, the spirit energy magnetic field interference is becoming worse. There’s something strange about the situation. It might lead to a spirit energy tsunami. If we continue fighting in this environment, there will be too many unpredictable variables. Perhaps we might end up being seriously injured together with the Apocalyptic Beast!” a five-star superhuman who came fighting with a Deity Realm fighter said with a pale face.

“So? Are we supposed to turn tail and run?” There was a Deity Realm fighter who had a slight build and was rather short. But his skin had a crystalline quality to it, and he looked as if he had been carved out of crystals. “The Wang family only managed to gain its current wealth and status by fighting through a sea of blood.

“I have already staked the entire future of the organization in the construction of the new area and invested tens of billions into this. If we succeed, from now on, Wang family’s name will ring through the Other World, but if we fail, Wang family will end up falling together with Dragon City.

“If we retreat now, the investments we poured into the project before the northern offense will all go up in smoke. Not only will we not be able to get even a single crumb from the pie that is the new area, we will also be the subject of mockery. They will laugh at us for running during battle. At that time, we won’t even be able to secure a base.

“I won’t give away the wealth and future that is already within our reach to the monsters and other people. Even if I die, I will die in Raging Waves!”

The crystal fighter shone with a dazzling light.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Raging Waves, a few fighters dressed in fighting suits of the Red Dragon Army asked for instructions from a built Deity Realm fighter. “General, the situation is off. The Apocalyptic Beasts nesting in Raging Waves have all taken action. By the looks of it, they want to fight us to the death. But the spirit energy magnetic wave interference is getting stronger. If it goes over the limit, both sides might end up going through spirit energy deviation. Should we... avoid this aggressive wave for the time being?”

“Avoid it?” Shao Zhengyang, the Thunder God, gritted his teeth. “We’ve been scouting out Raging Waves for months just to find the hiding places of those Apocalyptic Beasts. We’re to get rid of their nests to prevent future problems.

“Now, they’ve taken the initiative to show up on their own, but you want us to avoid them?

“This is where we want to stay, so we can’t let any other race stay with us. If we miss this golden chance and the Apocalyptic Beasts flee without a trace, it’ll be impossible for us to modify Graveyard Forest and Shattered Starlake while they lurk around and look for chances to seize the place back.

“If we cause a delay in the northern offense, we will all become criminals in Dragon City. How then will we be able to face all the warriors who were lost here over the past few months?!”

Before his voice faded away, they heard a shocking monster howl from a nearby area.

Countless towering trees fell to the side like weeds in the face of wind.

“You’ve finally appeared, huh, Demonic Amethyst Gold Ape?”

Lightning sparked in Shao Zhengyang’s eyes. He roared and swung his warhammer before rushing off in the direction of the sound.

At the same time, there was a human wandering around the mountainside.

Honestly... he could no longer be considered a human. At most, he could only be considered half a human.

He looked like he had been eaten by an Apocalyptic Beast before, and when that creature figured out that it could not chew him up, it spat him out.

His face was covered in intersecting monster claws. His eyes were dug out. Only a pair of empty eye sockets were left. They were covered in bumpy scars that were as ugly as a centipede.

His nose was crooked, his mouth was crooked, his left ear was bitten off by a monster, and his right ear lobe was incredibly big and hung on his shoulder.

He was missing his right arm, and his right shoulder to his chest had caved in. He looked as if he had once been trampled by the Emperor Mammoth’s War Trample.

He sported a limp as well. His right leg was stiff and could not move. He could only drag it forward while staggering in a strange and twisted posture. A slim and thin shortsword that looked like a large embroidery needle was bound to him by a shoelace, and it swung around beside his left leg.

If some kind soul in Dragon City saw this human walking on the streets in the city, they might go forward to help him.

But he walked alone in Raging Waves, where predators wandered about and where Apocalyptic Beasts roared. He left behind a footprint every time he took a step forward. There was a smile on his face, as if he was enjoying the process of going forward to the top of the mountain.

“ROAR!”

An Apocalyptic Beast by the name of Rampaging Tiger suddenly knocked down a tree. This monstrous creature was more than ten meters long, and its fangs protruded out of its mouth. It jumped out of the forest and opened its mouth wide at its prey.

The handicapped man did not stop nor did he draw his sword. He only cast a faint glance at the Rampaging Tiger with his empty eye sockets.

The Rampaging Tiger was famous for being fierce, mad, and fearless, but it shuddered and mewled like a cat. It even peed a little.

It no longer dared to pounce on the man; it did not even dare to run away. It lay down prostrate on the ground while shuddering.

The handicapped man spent some effort to sit down. He touched the Rampaging Tiger’s head and spine and shook his head before he got up again and limped forward.

“What a powerful spirit energy tsunami.” He sucked in a deep breath and mumbled, “I wonder if I will have the chance to witness the world above Deity Realm.”
