Chapter 414: A Coattail Arrived!
A gloomy look suddenly appeared in the Demonic Abyss Eye’s large eye.
Light spun in its depths, just like how a human’s pupils would when they dilated or contracted. Great wariness and puzzlement rose in the eye.
‘No good.’ Meng Chao gasped. He knew that the thought he formed just now was too strong, and the Demonic Abyss Eye had already read it.
The Demonic Abyss Eye had to have noticed that he did not enter the logical trap and 50% of his mind was still clear. It then realized that he was just stalling for time!
Just as Meng Chao expected, the next second, he felt the mental power invading his mind become much stronger and sharper.
It had originally been rather subtle and quiet, but now, it tore through all of its disguises. It was like an invisible battleaxe that struck his skull viciously.
Meng Chao felt a vicious pain in his mind, but the powerful mental strength from Apocalypse Version Meng Chao also broke free of its shackles and surged out like a flood.
Meng Chao felt as if there were ten thousand suns exploding above him. Countless humans struggled in burning flames. They screamed and burned down to ashes.
The nightmarish scene also rose in the Demonic Abyss Eye’s mind at the same time.
The Demonic Abyss Eye might not have known that this scene was a memory from the future, but it could sense the destructive power.
Its natural talent allowed it to light up the dark flames in a person’s heart, but it did not expect that there was just so much fuel in Meng Chao’s heart. With one spark, the flames could go out of control and burn it to death.
At that moment, the Demonic Abyss Eye was not the Supernatural Entity from a few years later.
Even the fully evolved Supernatural Entity might not be able to control the power from the apocalypse, so the tentacles of the current Demonic Abyss Eye trembled lightly. They moved in a way similar to that of humans when they were struck by fear.
It gave up on the idea to control Meng Chao.
Whoosh!
Sharp spikes popped out of the tentacles, and the Demonic Abyss Eye flung them viciously at Meng Chao’s neck in an attempt to bind and rip his throat, jugular vein, and spine.
Once things progressed to this state, Meng Chao had no other choice.
He could only roar at the top of his lungs and send the spirit energy that had been suppressed by Walking Corpse out of him in a volcano eruption.
Whoosh!
Hot spirit flames crawled out to the spider threads wrapping up his body.
The semi-transparent spiders could not hide in time and were all burned to a crisp. The huge cocoon fell apart the next second.
Meng Chao struggled, and his spirit-tattoo-covered arms and legs swelled up to twice their size. Once the cocoon was torn to shreds, he barely avoided the Demonic Abyss Eye’s tentacle attack. He turned around by 180 degrees before landing on the ground on one knee.
The Demonic Abyss Eye screeched in exasperation.
Meng Chao had not only avoided its fatal attack, but the destructive power contained in the memory of the apocalypse had also delivered a major blow to its brain.
It has to be known that the power of the apocalypse brought by ten thousand suns exploding did not destroy Dragon City alone.
It was centered on the city, but everything within a circular area of hundreds of kilometers was burnt to a crisp and leveled to the ground.
Dragon City was located at a basin surrounded by Monster Mountain Range.
Once the humans faced destruction, it also meant that Monster Mountain Range faced the destruction as well. The humans and monsters were all unable to escape from it.
The terrifying and incredibly real images terrified the Demonic Abyss Eye.
For a period of time, not only did it forget to continue attacking Meng Chao, but even Gao Ye, who was lying on the tracks not far away, raised his head. His sharp teeth trembled a little, and he looked a little puzzled.
‘My guess was correct.’ Meng Chao had a eureka moment. He immediately thought of a particular thing. ‘The Demonic Abyss Eye was not completely successful in its attempt to brainwash Gao Ye. Right now, it is still continuously sending brain waves to his nervous system to ensure that he remains a puppet.
‘Now that its brain received a major blow, its brain waves face major interference. Gao Ye now has a chance to break free from its control and regain his consciousness!’
But even if he knew this, it seemed like he could not do anything about it.
The Demonic Abyss Eye became furious from its embarrassing failure and gave up on personally killing Meng Chao.
Like a heart pounding madly after intense exercise, it swung its tentacles and had them bind the pipes not far away. It suspended itself high in the air again.
Then, it sent orders to the insects all over the ground so that the numerous pests would overwhelm its target.
Meng Chao spat on the ground. There was blood in his spit.
His eyes were bloodshot, and the bloody capillaries continued burning, which turned his entire eyeball red.
His lips curled up slightly, as if death was not his final destination, just the start of another journey from hell.
All 36,000 pores released a cold killing intent that could only be produced when someone had gone through countless battles and had dived in a sea of corpses.
Meng Chao himself did not realize that at that moment, he looked like a murderous god who came from the apocalypse.
Even the inferior life forms that did not have fully developed brains or any brains at all were stimulated by his killing intent. They shrank back and did not dare to move forward.
The Demonic Abyss Eye’s tentacles then released much more powerful brain waves, and the pests charged forward with a roar.
However, before their mandibles could clash against Meng Chao’s madly surging Demon Subduing Pole, a violent explosion came from the end of the tunnel.
As dazzling flames that were as beautiful as a griffin surged out of the tunnel, dozens of insects were burnt to a crisp, and their carcasses were blown into the air. Then, they turned into ashes while airborne and fell on the remaining insects’ heads.
Immediately after, a saber tore through the air, and it sounded like the roar of a lion. It shot out from the end of the tunnel and drew close to their eardrums right away.
A white saber glare cut through eight Nightmarish Beasts in one go before it faded away, satisfied with its kill.
Two people surrounded by spirit flames stepped through the air while the insects screeched. They reached the tunnel in a dazzling fashion.
Griffin Li Yingzi.
Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu.
The two coattails Meng Chao trusted the most!
When the Demonic Abyss Eye sensed the fierce killing intent coming from the veteran Heaven Realm superhumans, it trembled viciously and ordered the remaining insects to surge forward. Its plan was to use quantity to defeat quality.
But the ceiling of the abandoned train station shook, and intersecting cracks appeared above them. As a large amount of reinforced concrete and stones turned into sand and fell, the vertical pipes that led straight to the surface were revealed.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Dozens of Vulcan Commandos in nano-fighting suits and strengthened exoskeletons descended from above.
The moment they landed, they attacked with all they had. More than one hundred lines of fire spread out in a radial formation, leaving behind multiple holes in the insect horde. Bodily fluids spilled out, torn limbs flew everywhere, and the pests screamed from pain.
“Meng Chao!”
One of the Vulcan Commandos at the center had armor painted in an exceptionally dazzling fashion. It removed the helmet and grinned, revealing white teeth.
It was Lu Siya.
Meng Chao’s eyes shone. He swung his fist with all his strength.
‘We made it!’
Even though the Demonic Abyss Eye had nearly ignited the power from the apocalypse deep in his heart, he had managed to stall for long enough. The reinforcements had arrived!
Li Yingzi, Luo Wu, and the Vulcan Commandos alone might not be able to make the Demonic Abyss Eye and Gao Ye stay, but Meng Chao believed that since the tunnel to the abandoned train station had been cleared up, the army would definitely arrive in an endless stream moments later.
The Demonic Abyss Eye also realized this.
At the same time it ordered the insects to surge at the human fighters, it led Gao Ye to the other end of the train station.
But Li Yingzi and Luo Wu did not fall for it so easily.
The flames on Li Yingzi’s spear and Luo Wu’s saber glare turned into two unstoppable tornadoes that blew away all the insects that dared get close to them.
Immediately after, they jumped up into the air. The burning griffin and saber that looked like a tiger charging down a mountain rushed at the Demonic Abyss Eye.
It released a screech that pierced through everyone’s eardrums.
Gao Ye flung its huge body and was only barely able to block the powerful attacks from the two Heaven Realm superhumans.
But no matter how sturdy it was, two terrifying gashes still appeared on its body, and a lot of semi-transparent liquid gushed out from those wounds.
Once the Vulcan Commandos cleared up the insects around them, Lu Siya ordered them to focus all their firepower on the mastermind.
The Demonic Abyss Eye had the weakest fighting power among the Nine Great Supernatural Entities.
Even if firearms could not deal fatal damage to it, they could make it spasm endlessly and scream nonstop.
When it seemed like it no longer had anywhere to run with Gao Ye, ominous cracks came from above their heads.
Crack... Crack...
The cracks Lu Siya formed when she created the holes started spreading outward in a radial formation. Very soon, the cracks spread to every part of the abandoned train station’s ceiling.
Immediately after, the stones started crumbling one by one and crushed many of the insects. But they also stirred up dust that blocked people’s vision.
‘The abandoned train station is going to collapse!’ Meng Chao’s heart tensed up.
Fighting underground had a lot more uncertainties compared to fighting on the surface.
After the impact from the powerful fighters’ spirit energy and impact waves, the weak geological structure underground might go through massive changes.
If tens of thousands of tons of stones collapsed, even Heaven Realm superhumans would either be killed by the stones or buried alive.
“It’s an illusion!” Lu Siya suddenly shouted out. “When I changed the rock structure and opened up the vertical pipes, I scanned the geological structure of the area. The rock stratum here is very sturdy; it’s impossible for it to collapse!”
Meng Chao was slightly stunned. He looked around and found that there was actually not a single insect killed by the stones. The ceiling above his head was also in perfect condition. There were no signs of the cracks spreading outward.
He looked at Li Yingzi and Luo Wu. The two Heaven Realm superhumans looked at each other at a loss. They appeared puzzled. Clearly, they had seen the illusion of the train station collapsing as well.
The one who created the illusion was clearly the Demonic Abyss Eye.
With the interference provided by the illusion, it had managed to flee with Gao Ye to the mouth of the tunnel at the other end of the train station.
Li Yingzi and Luo Wu were about to give chase when Gao Ye blocked the mouth of the tunnel and opened its mouth.
The insects behind him fled to the sides in desperation, which cleared a path to the mastermind.
“No!” Meng Chao’s pupils shrank, and he shouted at the two coattails. “Be careful of his destructive ultrasonic wave!”
Before his voice could fade away, the destructive sound waves came from the depths of Gao Ye’s abdominal cavity.
The ultrasonic waves that normal people could not hear turned into mighty waves in the superhumans’ ears. In an instant, they swept through the entire abandoned train station.
