They crawled for a total of three days and three nights along the winding crack.
Since the spirit energy tsunami tore apart and collapsed a large number of walls, it changed the direction of the crack underground. The escape route Qin Hu had recorded in the beginning was no longer useful.
Fortunately, Lu Siya had been baptized by the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals, so her sensitivity to the minute changes in spirit energy had increased by several times. She could also change the atomic structure of the rocks and turn the sturdy walls into fine sand. With this method, she could enlarge the crack and open a tunnel.
Besides, wherever the spirit energy tsunami went, the originally rough, sharp, and angular rocks were melted into a smooth and round state that was similar to glass. With just a gentle squeeze, they could squeeze through.
Just like that, they gradually approached the surface. The air that surged into their nostrils became fresher.
The faint light above their heads was also continuously magnified until it filled their entire field of vision. Their eyes, which were already used to the darkness, felt waves of excitement.
When they were about to escape underground, the three of them felt a sense of homesickness.
Even if Meng Chao already knew that he had changed a lot of things based on the changes in his contribution points, he could not help but feel uneasy.
Could the ripples they stirred up be enough to turn into a storm that could change the world?
Could the Deity Realm superhumans and Apocalyptic Beasts still end up heavily injured, and countless middle-grade and low-grade superhumans are affected so badly that the area within a circular area of one hundred kilometers around Raging Waves was reduced to a mess and temporarily lost the possibility of developing it?
Just what was the result of the Red Radiance Jades continuously releasing spirit energy? Was it really as Lu Siya said? Did it turn into absorbable energy that could nourish spirit meridians and stimulate genes? Did the middle-grade and low-grade superhumans seize this rare chance to cultivate madly and fight with their lives on the line?
"Meng Chao, we'll pull you up!"
While he was thinking, he heard a voice above him.
Lu Siya and Qin Hu were already one step ahead of him. They crawled out of the ground and turned their heads around to extend their hands.
Meng Chao smiled and extended his arms as well. The two of them grabbed them tightly and pulled them up. Then, they returned to the light.
The three of them squinted for a total of ten seconds before they could get used to the light charging at them like a tidal wave.
Looking around, they were stunned for a moment. They wondered if this was the Raging Waves Mountain Range, or if it was a completely different world.
Not a single towering tree could be seen. Steaming pits were everywhere in the barren hills and valleys. The edges and the bottoms of the pits were colored like glass, as if they had been bombarded by extremely high-temperature meteorites.
There were also crisscrossing ravines that looked like the work of the gods and devils. The walls and the bottom of the ravines were also made of colorful glass.
"This is …"
Qin Hu's eyes bulged. He gulped with difficulty and muttered, "This is the mark of an Immortal Realm expert?"
Meng Chao was shocked.
"A God State Expert is indeed a God-like existence."
He thought, 'But no matter how powerful a Deity Realm expert was, he couldn't protect Dragon City in the end in my previous life. Looks like I'll have to train harder. Not only do I have to reach Deity Realm and stand at the top of the Supernatural Tower, I have to surpass Deity Realm and see just what is beyond the Supernatural Tower.
'Only when I surpass Deity Realm can I crush the apocalypse. Only when I stand above the sky can I see just what the world under the sky looks like!'
"Look! Over there!"
Lu Siya suddenly pointed at a crater not far away.
When the three of them went forward to observe it, they noticed that there was a huge monster carcass lying in the crater.
It looked like a mammoth covered in armor, but it also looked like an armored rhinoceros that was magnified ten times. It was also ten times more monstrous and terrifying.
Its bumpy skin shone with a metallic luster. Its huge fangs were more than ten meters long, and they were covered in profound and complicated patterns. They complemented the horn that shot into the sky. Even though it was dead, it still released a fierceness that made it seem as if it was burning.
The stones and walls of the crater had turned into glass, and it looked like a colorful glass bowl. But the terrifying monster that was the size of a hill was unharmed. Not even a part of its skin was burnt.
"This is the legendary Apocalyptic Beast, Earth-shattering Demon Bull. It's said that not only does it have great defense that doesn't lose to the Black Tortoise, it also has the ability to transmit shockwaves, change the structure of the ground, and create earthquakes. A powerful soldier from the military once led an entire commando squad to surround it, but it created earthquakes and devoured them underground!"
Qin Hu's face was full of shock. "It's no wonder why we only found the exit after crawling underground for three days. Many of the cracks we mapped were blocked and distorted. I see, it's because of it.
"That's right. Raging Waves is the Earth-shattering Demon Bull's nest. It's precisely because we're wary of its ability to create earthquakes that we don't dare to recklessly extend our heavy weapons to Raging Waves, including railway cannons. Now, the Earth-shattering Demon Bull is dead, and our steel army can finally be used.
"But how did it die?"
"It's here."
Meng Chao finally noticed that there was a hole the size of a finger on the Earth-shattering Demon Bull's left ear.
There was also a hole the size of a finger on its right ear.
Judging from the position of the two holes, it should have been pierced by an extremely thin blade, or rather, a steel needle, and the brain tissue was completely destroyed.
"…"
This discovery caused the trio to fall silent for a long time.
Lu Siya looked at Meng Chao and said meaningfully, "Don't be envious of his strength. As long as we work together, there will come a day when we can do it as well."
"We don't need to work together. I can do it as well," Meng Chao said warily.
Even though Lu Siya was pretty, young, and a rich woman with a lot of power, her legs were long, straight, round, and powerful, Meng Chao still had his principles.
But Meng Chao had his principles.
He could not just ride on Lu Siya's coattails like this.
At the very least, he had to think about it and think about it.
"I'm not as ambitious as you. I'll be satisfied if I can just reach Heaven Realm."
Qin Hu stared at the Earth-shattering Demon Bull with a covetous look. "Why isn't anyone taking care of the Apocalyptic Beast's carcass? Just how much can this thing be sold for?"
Before his voice could fade away, a deafening boom came from not far away.
A light breeze blew past and chased away the thick fog around the trio.
It was only then that the trio noticed that at some unknown point of time, the lightning, thunder, and violent storms had disappeared without a trace.
The thick fog that enveloped the area was real fog and not the ripples caused by the distortions in space. When sunlight shone on it, it instantly disappeared.
The trio's vision became clear. It was as if a brand new world was slowly being drawn to them.
The dark clouds tumbling about like raging waves above their heads had long since been torn to shreds. They could only hide in the horizon and struggle for their last breaths.
At the center of the sky was a blue sky, white clouds, and a brilliant red sun.
Under the red sun's illumination, a red cloud that looked like an Immortal Bird spreading its wings rose. It did not disappear even after a long time had passed.
Under the red cloud, the rising and falling mountains, the lush forests, the endless plains, and the lakes that looked like they were scattered all over the place like pearls. The three of them could see everything.
The world was beautiful, vast, and clear.
Hundreds of armored airships rumbled across the vast expanse of heaven and earth.
They were either transporting a large number of heavy weapons and construction machines to the depths of Graveyard Forest and Raging Waves to build fortresses, bases, and transportation lines.
They were also transporting the superbeast carcasses from the depths of Raging Waves back so that they could become valuable raw materials for Dragon City's development.
Some of the large middle-grade and high-grade superbeasts, such as Earth-shattering Bull, needed a few armored airships to drag them at the same time before they could be transported away.
However, it was fine. After five days and five nights of extremely dazzling release, most of the rampaging energy that had accumulated underground for billions of years had been used up. The spirit energy magnetic field within a circular area of one hundred kilometers had become very stable. There was no longer any lightning, thunder, invisible wind, or turbulence causing trouble. The humans' armored airships and steel army could bring out their strength to their heart's content.
"The outcome has been decided. We won!"
This scene caused the trio, who had different statuses, backgrounds, strength, personalities, and ideals, to smile at the same time.
Perhaps the scattered battles had not ended yet.
But as long as the Apocalyptic Beasts lurking in the depths of Raging Waves were all killed and the extreme weather disappeared, the spirit energy magnetic field interference would no longer exist. The humans' steel army would be able to charge straight in, and there would no longer be anything that could stop victory from descending upon them.
"Look!
"The horizon!"
"Over there!"
The trio suddenly cried out at the same time.
In the direction they pointed, they saw a rainbow that was one hundred times more dazzling than the one on Earth. It stretched across Dragon City and Monster Mountain Range. It stretched across the horizon and stretched into the distance of the Other World.
…
The trio was soon discovered by an armored airship.
Over the past five days, humans and monsters had been fighting fiercely around Raging Waves. The shockwaves from the fierce clashes between Deity Realm superhumans and Apocalyptic Beasts had affected quite a number of middle-grade and low-grade superhumans.
There were plenty of people like them who were scattered in the col, forests, and even underground. Besides, they had to deal with all sorts of superbeast carcasses, destroy their nests, and build their fortresses. All the departments were so busy that for the time being, no one noticed how special Meng Chao and the other two were. They wanted to send them back to the base in Shattered Starlake along with the other injured people.
But Lu Siya was very resourceful. She contacted an armored airship with a red cross painted on it.
It was a mobile battlefield hospital with advanced facilities. Based on what Lu Siya said, it did not lose to the private medical centers in Dragon City.
Meng Chao originally did not want Lu Siya to check his body.
But when he thought about it, in this world where resources were the most important, there was no meaning in hiding his strength.
It was only by showing off his strength that he could attract more people to invest in him and get more cultivation resources.
Besides, his fortuitous encounter was open and aboveboard, so he could hide the uniqueness of his return to the past.
Besides, Lu Siya had already seen everything when he was in the depths of the cave, so there was nothing for him to hide anymore.
With this thought in mind, Meng Chao and Qin Hu happily boarded Lu Siya's medical airship.
