Meng Chao’s voice was like a golden horn. It echoed in the depths of the dark tunnel.

  Gao Ye looked as if he was struck by lightning and did not move even after a long time had passed.

  It looked like he did not dare to look Meng Chao in the eyes. He even shrank back a little in the dark.

  Then……

  “Cough!”


  Shattered stones, mud, metal bits from the train carriage he crushed, and acid that could melt stones came charged out of his mouth like a destructive flood.

  “Ah!”


  Meng Chao was caught off guard. When Gao Ye’s attack struck him, he was sent flying like a kite with its string snapped. He crashed violently into the wall of the tunnel.

  His shirt was instantly shredded, and he was covered in wounds. He looked really pathetic.

  Gao Ye’s eyes shone with a savage light. He moved to launch a follow-up attack.

  Fortunately, Lu Siya activated her spirit energy in time and used a large amount of stones and reinforced concrete to form a stone dragon that was about the same size as Gao Ye. It rose in front of Meng Chao to fend off the attack.

  Gao Ye became tangled up with the stone dragon.

  The stone dragon let out cracking sounds. It could not last for long against Gao Ye’s spikes, which vibrated at high frequency.

  Lu Siya quickly dragged Meng Chao out of the human-shaped hole in the wall.

  “What exactly were you thinking?” Lu Siya opened a high-efficiency medical injection with her teeth and stabbed it into Meng Chao’s shoulder violently. It helped to stop his bleeding and promote the healing of his wounds.

  When she looked at him, her eyes betrayed the disbelief at what he did. “Did you seriously think that you could make this abnormal beast snap out of its delusions with your simple speech and high school student level oratory skills?”


  “Well…… I think so before.” Meng Chao was hurting so much that he grimaced. His lips twitched as he said, “After all, last time, when we were under Raging Waves and fought against Lin Chuan and the White Spirit, my silver tongue seemed to work!”


  “.……” Lu Siya sucked in a deep breath and forced herself to calm down for three seconds, but she still could not avoid cussing. “How many friggin’ screws do you have loose in your head? If running your mouth off worked every time, why the heck would we need to cultivate so hard?! We might as well just switch from fighting to debating!”


  “Alright, I was wrong.” Meng Chao gritted his teeth and got up. With anger spitting out of his eyes, he stared at Gao Ye. “But this proves at least one thing. He has already completely lost his humanity. He’s no longer human.

  “Those sincere words just now were spoken from the bottom of my head, and they were very touching. Even I was touched by my own words.

  “If he had even 1% of humanity left, once he heard me, he would have come to a realization and felt so guilty that he cried. Then, he would have cast aside the dark side to join the forces of good.

  “Since he’s unmoved, this means that he’s no longer a human. He’s no longer Gao Ye but a complete monster.

  “Then…… I have no other choice!”


  Bang!

  Earthquake crushed the stone dragon Lu Siya had created.

  As the crushed stones spilled everywhere, Meng Chao’s sabers shot out.

  He jumped high into the air with his sabers and stabbed into the folds of the Ultimate Sandworm’s head.

  Superstar had developed incredibly quickly over the course of one year, and Meng Chao had become a rich person. He had enough resources to hire skilled craftsmen from the Supernatural Tower to recraft Surging Lightning and Bloody Flame.

  Not only did he embed higher quality crystals in them, he also had more beautiful and profound runic symbols carved into them. During the recrafting process, he even added expensive Apocalyptic Beast’s bone powder. It made the damage from the two sabers to increase to a terrifying degree.

  While his spirit flames surged, the metallic shine from the two sabers was replaced by flames and lightning.

  Not only did they easily stab into the Ultimate Sandworm’s head until only the hilts were left, they also caused the dozens of eyes it had to protrude because of the electric shock. They started sizzling with smoke from the burns.

  The Ultimate Sandworm was in pain. It started tumbling about madly in the tunnel and crashed violently against the wall.

  Meng Chao wrapped the chains connected to the hilt around his arms three times. Even if the chains dug into his flesh, he held tightly to the sabers and refused to let go. He even spun the hilts with all his strength to deal even more damage to the Ultimate Sandworm’s head.

  Thud! Thud!

  In the end, two horrifying, bloody holes appeared in the Ultimate Sandworm’s head. All sorts of strange, sticky liquid gushed out like a spring.

  Meng Chao was also sent flying by the Ultimate Sandworm. He rolled three times on the ground to negate the impact. Then, he stood up again.

  Unfortunately, the Ultimate Sandworm did not have a brain.

  The neuralgia around its body allowed it to keep struggling on the verge of death even though it was heavily injured. This dealt even worse damage to its surroundings.

  Boom! Boom!

  Most of its eyeballs were now destroyed, so it was difficult for the Ultimate Sandworm to accurately locate Meng Chao. Hence, it decided to just crash against the walls like a lunatic to vent its pain. Its other goal was to……

  “It wants to make the tunnel collapse from within!”


  Meng Chao’s expression changed.

  The Ultimate Sandworm had already created cracks in the underwater tunnel when it was ramming against it from outside.

  Now, as it damaged it in a fit of madness, the intersecting cracks connected with each other.

  In just a few minutes, the tunnel would completely collapse.

  “Big Sis Ya, you’re in charge of strengthening the tunnel! I’ll stop him!”


  Meng Chao gritted his teeth, and with a huge stride forward, he jumped up.

  Unfortunately, this time, the Ultimate Sandworm was prepared. The spikes on its body started vibrating at high frequency.

  Meng Chao had wanted to jump on its back and search for the place where the neuralgia were connected so that he could destroy the Ultimate Sandworm’s mobility, but his feet were nearly impaled by the spikes vibrating at high frequency on its body.

  With those spikes, the Ultimate Sandworm started squirming madly in the tunnel.

  Meng Chao now faced the same problem as he did when he met the Giant Sandworm under Trash Site 4.

  The space in the tunnel was too small. The slightest carelessness would either result in him being squashed against the wall by the Ultimate Sandworm and being reduced to a pulp by the high-vibration spikes or swallowed by the giant mouth, where he would have to face the terrifying acid and adhesive liquid.

  Meng Chao brought out the full strength of the Ultimate Style.

  He turned into an illusion surrounded by electrical arcs and flames and danced around the Ultimate Sandworm. He left hundreds of wounds on the Ultimate Sandworm’s skin.

  Unfortunately, its skin was so thick that it would drive anyone fighting against it mad. Last time, even when Ye Xiaoxing destroyed one-third of its body and organs, it was able to flee as if nothing had happened to it.

  After evolving for half a year, it would definitely not be subjugated by Meng Chao’s sabers.

  Instead, it seized the chance to cough up a mouthful of shattered stones covered in acid and adhesive liquid, which forced Meng Chao and Lu Siya to fend off his attack in a flurry of motion.

  The cracks on the tunnel walls were growing.

  They could hear the cracking sounds from above the reinforced concrete signalling metal fatigue.

  Meng Chao felt anxious, but he could not find a way to solve the problem in one go.

  Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

  Rapid gunfire came from behind him and Lu Siya.

  It was the Red Dragon Army!

  The military squad had finally escorted all the workers and engineers safely to the surface and set up enough crystal bombs in the tunnel behind them.

  Now, they came forward to provide reinforcements for Meng Chao and Lu Siya.

  Even though the commander of this military squad was just a one-star superhuman and most of the soldiers were normal humans who had not awakened to supernatural powers, they remained fearless even before an existence even more horrifying than Hell Beasts. They pushed forward as they fired at Earthquake.

  The armor-piercing shells created sparks on the Ultimate Sandworm’s rough skin.

  The fire bombs also only created sparks.

  The grenades, however, made it shudder in anger.

  This scene touched Meng Chao’s heart, but he was also worried.

  He was touched by the Red Dragon Army’s fearlessness and bravery, but he knew just how terrifying Supernatural Entities were. Their attack methods changed all the time and they never had just a few attacks.

  Just as he expected, the Ultimate Sandworm’s head suddenly turned red and grew twice as big.

  Whoosh!

  A red puff of gas shot out from the depths of its throat and filled the entire tunnel.

  Boom!

  When the gas ran into sparks, explosions rang out in the tunnel. The impact swept through the area and sent more than ten soldiers flying.

  There were often incendiary and explosive gasses like methane deep underground. There was also the sludge and humus that produced those gasses.

  And the Ultimate Sandworm had used some method to store compressed methane in its body.

  Once it fired it, it turned into a fearsome methane bomb.

  Fortunately, Meng Chao acted quickly. When the Ultimate Sandworm’s head turned red, he threw his chain sabers and bound the waists of the soldiers who were at the forefront and dragged them away from the Ultimate Sandworm’s attack range.

  Even so, there were quite a number of soldiers who were badly burned and sent flying into the wall. Their bones were broken, and they coughed up blood.

  ‘I have to give it my all! I can’t let it fire a second methane bomb!’


  Meng Chao’s eyes turned bloodshot. He knew that if the same attack was repeated, the soldiers would not just be severely injured. Instead, the whole underwater tunnel would collapse, and the blood, sweat, and tears from countless people as well as the large amounts of investment would be destroyed.

  When the Ultimate Sandworm opened its mouth again, Meng Chao removed all the grenades at his waist at the moment the methane was about to shoot out and threw them over.

  BOOOOOOMMM!

  Chain explosions happened in the Ultimate Sandworm’s gaping mouth.

  It was badly battered, and its head split open like a rotten flower.

  However, if it could be killed with just eight grenades, it would not have been worthy of being called a Supernatural Entity.

  Slurp! Slurp!

  Squirming granulation tissue shot out of its torn wounds. They closed the wounds like bio gel and started healing them rapidly.

  Meng Chao knew the Supernatural Entity’s fighting strength very clearly, and he never thought that he could kill one just like that.

  But while the creature had temporarily run out of methane and its mouth was torn open, it was the golden time to attack. Meng Chao used a chain saber to pick up an RG-6 with eight gun mounts, and with the other, he swept up a steel pipe from a corner. It was one of those used to support the tunnel during construction.

  Meng Chao first tossed the steel bar that was half a meter thick at the Ultimate Sandworm, which was still dazed from the grenades’ explosions.

  Moments earlier, Meng Chao had also used his spirit flames to burn almost all of its eyes.

  The Ultimate Sandworm could not identify what had come charging at it. It just instinctively opened its sturdy mouth and bit down on it.

  Unfortunately, its mouth had just been torn, and it had yet to recover its bite strength.

  The steel pipe stabbed its mouth and let out a loud screech due to metal fatigue. It started bending visibly, but it did not snap even after a few seconds had passed.

  The creature was then unable to close its mouth.

  Meng Chao held the RG-6 with eight gun mounts and let out a loud shout as he jumped into the Ultimate Sandworm’s mouth!

  Chapter 385: Torn Intestines, Blasted Stomach, Ripped from the Center!

  As the metal moaned, the steel pipe that was half a meter thick was snapped in half, and the Ultimate Sandworm spat it out.

  The rows of sharp teeth in its mouth immediately started spinning and vibrating rapidly.

  The Ultimate Sandworm’s teeth were strong enough to crush the sturdiest stones and metal. Naturally, it could also crush the bodies of superhumans.

  Fortunately, before it could completely shut its oral cavity, Meng Chao had taken a huge stride forward and forced his way into its throat.

  Even though he managed to avoid being crushed by sharp teeth, the depths of the throat were no heaven either.

  The powerful muscles around him started contracting inward in an attempt to crush him to death.

  The acid, adhesive liquid, and poison in the depths of the abdominal cavity also flowed out, continuously corroding Meng Chao’s skin, and it made him feel sharp pain.

  And along with the foul smell came the next methane bomb or shattered stone attack. The Ultimate Sandworm was quickly preparing it.

  But Meng Chao endured the pain and stench as he brought up the RG-6.

  It could fire eight small fist-sized grenades in ten seconds, which was why it was well-loved by Red Dragon Army soldiers.

  It was also the one weapon normal people could utilize the best when they faced large monsters.

  In the weapons market, it had a mighty nickname—Destroyer.

  “Take this, monster!”


  Meng Chao pulled the trigger of the Destroyer.

  Bang!

  Fist-sized grenades were pushed forward by flames and shot out of the barrel that was the size of a bowl.

  Boom!

  Since the Ultimate Sandworm’s muscles served as an obstruction, the grenade exploded close to Meng Chao.

  The impact made him narrow his eyes. He also saw that the depths of the Ultimate Sandworm’s throat blasted to a mess.

  Meng Chao grinned and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

  Bang! Boom! Bang, bang! Boom, boom! Bang, bang, bang! Boom, boom, boom!

  His vitality magnetic field resonated with the roars that came from the eight gun mounted RG-6.

  The Destroyer wreaked havoc in the Ultimate Sandworm, and with a series of fierce explosions, it tore a bloody path in the monster.

  The Ultimate Sandworm was in so much pain that it wanted to die. It rolled around nonstop.

  Meng Chao felt the world spin and rolled along with the Ultimate Sandworm.

  But he kept a tight grip over the flesh in the Ultimate Sandworm’s abdominal cavity. The moment the spins slowed down a little, he would fire off another destructive grenade.

  Very soon, all eight grenades were shot and created a mess in the Ultimate Sandworm’s body.

  Meng Chao tossed away the RG-6 and pulled out the two assault rifles from his back.

  Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

  Two firing lines acted like two hot scalpels that cut into the Ultimate Sandworm’s body crudely but accurately.

  Meng Chao was not shooting at random.

  Very soon, as the flesh was blasted open by the shots, he noticed nerve bundles that looked like electric cables.

  The nerve bundles were as thick as fingers. They shone with a faint blue light and looked really bizarre in the monster’s dark cavity.

  At that moment, they were like really bright sources of light that moved the nerve bundles back and forth. It seemed like they were transmitting signals of pain and fear.

  ‘That’s it. Gao Ye and the abnormal beasts behind him are seriously evil geniuses. They actually managed to think about how to fuse the nervous chains in ecdysozoa creatures and thick nerve bundles from octopi. Then, they also placed the myelin sheaths unique to mammals to replace brains, and hence, they could increase their intelligence.

  ‘But it’s all thanks to his nerves being thick that I was able to trace the clues and find…… this!’


  Meng Chao emptied all his cartridges.

  When the gun barrels of the assault rifles started burning with a hot, dark red shade in the dark, he tossed away the guns and brought out his chain sabers again.

  No matter how tough the Ultimate Sandworm was outside, its abdominal cavity would be reduced to a bloody mess when Meng Chao mercilessly trampled on it.

  The two chain sabers moved as if they were in No Man’s Land. Meng Chao cut upward the shining nerve bundles like he was a butcher cutting up a bull. Soon, he found a spot where seven or eight nerve bundles were connected with each other. A lump of flesh that looked as deformed and ugly as a tumor but throbbed like a heart was there. It shone with a piercing neon light.

  This was the Ultimate Sandworm’s subesophageal ganglion.

  Earthworms, sandworms, and other annelids relied on their subesophageal ganglion to control their mobility no matter how much they evolved.

  Destroying their brain tissues was meaningless.

  Destroying the relatively independent ring-shaped nerves from outside could only cripple part of their bodies.

  It was only when their subesophageal ganglion was completely destroyed that they would be killed in one hit.

  Meng Chao smiled and crossed his sabers.

  Then, as if the Ultimate Sandworm had sensed that death was impending, it constricted its subesophageal ganglion.

  It then screamed fiercely at the muscles around it through eight thick nerve bundles.

  The muscles started twitching madly. They tried to form the next air gush to force Meng Chao out of the abdominal cavity.

  But before that, Meng Chao’s eyes, temples, spirit tattoos on his palms, and the crystals embedded in his sabers shone with the brightest light.

  Bang!

  There were six crystals embedded in Surging Lightning and Bloody Flame, and they were all of the highest grade. That included one supreme-grade Red Radiance Jade. But due to the vibrations from Meng Chao’s vitality magnetic field, all of them shattered.

  The spirit energy he received was enough to release more than ten killing moves. In an instant, all of them gushed out. Not only did they turn the spirit tattoos carved into the sabers into small offensive spirit energy magnetic fields, but also gave the sabers a crystalline quality, as if they were made of pure energy.

  Meng Chao felt as if he was not holding two sabers, but two surging, violent streams.

  He suffered a backlash from the spirit energy, and dozens of main meridians and hundreds of branch meridians in his body started burning fiercely.

  His skin cracked along the spirit tattoos, and blood drops that were crystalline in quality seeped out of them.

  But he gritted his teeth and controlled himself. When the resonance of his vitality magnetic field and spirit energy magnetic field reached their max, he rammed the two streams into the Ultimate Sandworm’s subesophageal ganglion.

  “Die, monster!”


  The superhumans and soldiers in the tunnel witnessed a shocking scene that could not be described with words.

  Meng Chao had actually jumped into the Ultimate Sandworm’s mouth on his own and was swallowed by the Ultimate Sandworm.

  Just when they were about to cry out in surprise, a chain of muffled explosions came from the Ultimate Sandworm.

  Each explosion caused it to shrink into a ball and turn about in extreme pain. It no longer had the mighty presence of an abnormal beast.

  Soon, it started losing strength while tossing and turning. It lay limp in the water like an earthworm that had been exposed to the sun for three days. Crystalline tumors rose on its skin.

  Just when everyone was puzzled as to what those tumors were, they shattered, and from within came Meng Chao’s rampaging spirit flames. They were like tens of huge light pillars that lit up the entire dark tunnel.

  “Is this guy really a human?”


  Even Lu Siya was transfixed as she mumbled under her breath.

  “He’s Meng Chao, right? He’s really vicious. It’s no wonder why the forums call him Ace Chao!”


  The soldiers from the Red Dragon Army gasped in surprise while staring dumbfounded at the sight before them.

  The Ultimate Sandworm arched its body one last time and tried to gather up the power hidden deep in its abdominal cavity. But Meng Chao raced ahead of it and detonated the high-energy substances in its body.

  Boom! Boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom, boom!

  The explosions came from the Ultimate Sandworm itself. They were even stronger than the explosions caused by the grenade, and made its abdominal cavity implode completely.

  The torn up Ultimate Sandworm stopped moving.

  “He…… actually used such a crazy method to kill this giant?” Lu Siya and the soldiers looked at each other before they cried out at the same time, “Meng Chao!”


  Meng Chao had a dream.

  In his dream, he was in a maze made of flesh and organs.

  He kept running in search of an exit, but no matter how he looked around, all he saw around him was a red sea of blood.

  Then, he flew into a rage and brought his sabers up. He swung them fiercely until he broke out of the fleshy walls covered in fine fur. He saw light again.

  Before him was a city.

  Dragon City.

  It was the Dragon City of his previous life. It was a few seconds before the apocalypse.

  Ten thousand suns had already risen above Dragon City.

  He shouted at the top of his lungs, calling for the citizens to hide and run, but it was already too late.

  The ten thousand suns turned the world into a sea of light, and that sea swallowed up Dragon City and human civilization until not a single bit was left.

  When the light of destruction gradually faded away, a brilliant sea of stars appeared in front of Meng Chao.

  In front of the sea was the blue planet that they always dreamed of. It quietly levitated at a spot within his reach.

  It was clean, quiet, sacred, and beautiful.

  Meng Chao was unable to help himself. He reached out to touch the planet that looked like a blue gem.

  However, right when his fingertips touched the blue planet, the sacred home of humans started burning. The blue planet soon turned a deep red as it was engulfed by strange flames.

  It was like a burnt, ugly heart.

  Then, it turned from deep red to stark white, and it started falling apart like sand before it disappeared with the wind.

  Even the dazzling sea of stars serving as its background was hidden by a mass of formless black clouds.

  The stars faded away one by one. Sometimes, they would struggle to shine, but it was all in vain. Soon, not a single star remained in Meng Chao’s field of vision. Only the universe and its endless darkness were left.

  Meng Chao was terrified and jumped up from the darkness, only to realize that he was lying in a medical cabin and was surrounded by warmth and gene medicine as well as high-calorie nutritional fluid.

  He exhaled and finally remembered where he was.

  But the nightmare from moments ago was unlike a normal nightmare. It did not fade away as his mind cleared up. Instead, it was imprinted on his cerebral cortex clearly, just like the Dragon City and its apocalypse.

  ‘Is this a nightmare or a revelation from the future, just like my apocalypse diary?

  ‘There’s nothing to say anything about Dragon City’s destruction, but why did Earth also burn in my nightmare, and why did all the stars fade away?’


  Meng Chao scratched his head. He felt that his return to the past and Kindling were not simple.

  As his cultivation realm, fighting strength, and mind improved, he should be able to unravel more secrets, and they would not be limited to just Dragon City. They would involve the Other World, Earth, and even the stars.

  Of course, right now, those secrets did not have major connections to him. They could not be solved by a mere superhuman at the peak of Earth Realm.

  He should keep simple and small goals. He would deal with other matters once he defeated the Supernatural Entities and abnormal beasts!
