Even though the Vortex had already shrunk to one-tenth of its original size, the activity of its cells had also decreased by a large margin.
The activity of the cells was also greatly reduced, and the speed at which they wriggled and extended was much slower.
But Meng Chao and the other two were also near the end of their rope.
There was no need to mention A 'Ji and Lu Siya. Their tendons were broken, and their bones were covered in wounds. They struggled for a long time, but could not get up.
Meng Chao's spirit meridians were also in a state of cooldown after he overloaded his Divine Nine Dragon Seals. He could not create any spirit energy magnetic fields.
Each of his muscle fibers hurt as if they had been stabbed by ten thousand burning steel needles.
His spine, which had been bound by the dragon meridians, looked as if it had been twisted by a merciless iron hand. Each of his vertebrae spun 360 degrees in different directions.
He could not dodge in time, so he could only watch the Vortex crawl onto his body.
His nano fighting suit had long since been torn to shreds by the claws and burned by spirit flames.
His skin was also covered in surging spirit energy. His blood vessels popped up, and his muscles bulged.
The Vortex, which was in the form of a transparent adhesive liquid, easily invaded Meng Chao's body through the bloody wound.
It screeched and extended thousands of spider silk-like tentacles from the transparent liquid. They bound Meng Chao's blood vessels, nerves, and bones tightly.
Meng Chao was in so much pain that he nearly fainted.
He gritted his teeth and exposed his incredibly sensitive dental nerves to the air. He used the pain to keep himself awake.
He reached out to grab the transparent liquid and tried to yank the Vortex off his body.
But the Vortex was like the most viscous glue. It had long since stuck to his flesh and bones.
He yanked hard and nearly crushed his own bones. He was in so much pain that he saw stars, and he could not even scream.
When Meng Chao saw that he could not yank the Vortex off his body, he could only bring out the chain saber that had been wrapped around his waist in an attempt to cut off the flesh that had been corroded by the transparent liquid.
But the Vortex activated its final ferocity. The transparent tentacles moved through Meng Chao's blood vessels and bones to invade his lower body through his thighs. Then, they surged toward his organs.
Even if he resolutely cut off his entire right leg, he would not be able to solve the problem.
Unless he cut off his lower body as well …
Meng Chao shuddered.
He would rather die together with the Vortex.
"Meng Chao!"
Lu Siya and A 'Ji screamed in despair.
Both of them saw that two-thirds of the transparent liquid that formed the Vortex had crawled into Meng Chao's body through the wound. Only a tail was left, and it swayed outside like a fat leech.
Once the Vortex completely crawled into Meng Chao's body …
Then, it might occupy Meng Chao's body, just like how it controlled Xiong Ying and the Broken Claw Dragon.
Unless Meng Chao was tossed into the volcano, there was no other way to completely kill this terrifying monster.
The problem was, even if Meng Chao was willing to sacrifice himself, the Vortex would definitely recover faster than Lu Siya and A 'Ji after it ate a lot of Hell's Blood.
At this moment, no one could kill this monster.
Once it ate Meng Chao's brain, it would kill A 'Ji and Lu Siya and enjoy all the treasures and experimental data in the secret lab. Then, it would walk out with Meng Chao's face and create a ridiculous story to tell to the gangs and the abnormal beast research department.
The lair … No, all of Dragon City would welcome the apocalypse ahead of time.
"I … won't … let … you … succeed …"
Meng Chao's face turned red, and his neck became three times thicker than normal.
He gave up on tearing at the Vortex. While he could still control his hands, he groped around in hopes that he could find other fire-type materials and crystals so that he could die together with the Vortex.
The Vortex had already hijacked part of his nerves and noticed his intentions. Its screams became even sharper, and it tried to snatch control of his arms from Meng Chao.
Meng Chao straightened his left arm and spread his fingers. His knuckles let out cracking sounds. He was just a few centimeters away from touching the Flaming Griffin's bone powder.
But he struck with his right hand and sent the Flaming Griffin's bone powder flying five meters away. It landed under the display rack in the corner.
Meng Chao fell into a state where his left and right sides fought against each other. He rolled around on the ground.
He groped around for a long time, but he could not find a powerful incendiary that could decide the battle.
At the final moment, he touched something cold and hard.
"This is …"
Meng Chao's eyes bulged out. He stared at his trembling left hand, which held the blue medicine tightly.
It was Hell's Blood No. 7.
It was also the one with the densest spirit energy, the most violent, and the most dangerous. Its medicinal strength was equivalent to the total of the other six.
The super gene medicine was as thick as a baby's arm. It contained the blood essence of more than one hundred Hell Beasts, and as Meng Chao and the Vortex's vitality magnetic field clashed madly against each other, it gurgled as if it was boiling. It also looked like the souls of more than one hundred Hell Beasts were sealed inside it!
Even if Saber Jin Wanhao was here, he would not dare to inject such a fierce medicine into his body.
But Meng Chao had no other choice.
At that moment, the Vortex had already enveloped his legs, chest, and right arm.
Only his head and left arm were still under his control.
Thousands of threads of transparent mucus were still wriggling toward his face, trying to invade his brain through his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and control his cerebral cortex and central nerves.
'I have no other choice!'
'Vortex, don't you like eating this domineering super gene medicine?'
'Then I'll drink it to my heart's content in one go!'
Before the Vortex could react to the situation, Meng Chao roared and used all his strength to stab Hell's Blood 7, which had the highest density, into the transparent adhesive liquid covering his skin.
Shick!
In half a second, he injected the essence of more than one hundred Hell Beasts' blood into the Vortex's body.
The Vortex let out a shrill scream of pain.
It had lost 90% of its mass and fought against Meng Chao for a long time. Even though it had successfully invaded Meng Chao's body, it had paid a devastating price and was in an incredibly weak state.
Since it was weak, there was no way it could withstand the rampaging spirit energy and the impact that was like a tidal wave.
The cells in its body exploded one after another, and its gene chains broke one after another. It squirmed nonstop, screamed, and swung its semi-transparent tentacles in a frenzy, but it could not stop the fierce souls of more than one hundred Hell Beasts from rampaging through its body like they were nothing but twigs.
Some of its tentacles had already sunk deep into Meng Chao's body and connected to his muscles, nerves, and even bones.
Some of the medicinal energy from Hell's Blood No. 7 seeped into Meng Chao's organs and limbs through the transparent tentacles, causing Meng Chao to feel pain that was ten times sharper than when he absorbed the Hell's Blood from Hell's Blood No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6.
However, compared to the Vortex, who was struggling in the depths of hell, Meng Chao had at least two advantages.
First, Hell's Blood No. 7 did not enter his body directly. Instead, it first went through the Vortex's body.
Most of the destructive power contained in the super gene medicine was absorbed by the Vortex before it reached Meng Chao.
Meng Chao absorbed a lot of spirit energy, and the Vortex helped him block most of the pain and side effects.
Second, every time the Vortex punched the Vortex, it gave him a lot of contribution points that could be used to heavily injure the Supernatural Entity.
The progress of the long-term mission, the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities, also increased by leaps and bounds during the fight, and it gave him a lot of contribution points.
This was especially so when he used Flaming Demon Subduing Pole to force the Vortex out of the Broken Claw Dragon's shell and forced it to self-destruct 90% of its mass. Kindling determined that he had dealt irreversible damage to the Supernatural Entity, and it gave him tens of thousands of contribution points as a reward.
Hence, Meng Chao's current contribution points approached the one hundred thousand mark again.
With these contribution points, he knew how to digest the astronomical amount of rampaging spirit energy at the fastest speed possible!
'Divine Nine Dragon Seals, what am I waiting for? Don't hold back and continue leveling up!
'Middle Stage Healing Skill! I'll heal it ten times to whet my appetite, or I'll just exchange it until my contribution points go to zero!'
As golden streams of light spun rapidly in Meng Chao's body, under the combined effects of Hell's Blood, the power of Kindling, the memories of his previous life, the rampaging spirit energy, and the stimulation from the Supernatural Entities, his marrow and tendons were cleansed, and he was reborn.
While he destroyed, he healed.
While he attacked, he rebuilt.
While he destroyed, he leveled up.
Each of Meng Chao's cells entered a beautiful new world that was half ice and half fire.
But the Vortex was not as lucky as him.
After countless rounds of cell division and self-healing, it finally used up the last of its cells.
It could no longer withstand the rampaging spirit energy surging into it, and its cell membranes shattered.
The transparent liquid that covered Meng Chao's body grew larger and thinner like a balloon. In the end, with a pop, it exploded and turned into countless sparkling bubbles that scattered everywhere.
The dazzling and bizarre scene left A 'Ji and Lu Siya dumbfounded. They could not snap out of their daze even after a long time had passed.
Once Meng Chao broke free of the transparent liquid, he felt as if he had just woken up from a long hibernation. There was still a storm raging in the depths of his mind, and he could not think for a long time.
The three of them looked at each other at a loss, then at the bubbles on the floor.
"This time, it's … finally over, huh?"
They gulped laboriously.
Aside from gulping, they could do nothing else at that moment.
The bubbles formed after the Vortex collapsed were still squirming. Gradually, they gathered together to form a beautiful flower of bubbles.
"No way. Even this can't kill you?"
Meng Chao truly felt tired.
'Destroy it. Hurry up. I admit defeat.'
The flower of bubbles bloomed slowly.
What appeared was not a mini version of the Vortex.
Instead, it was an illusory but lifelike figure of a woman.
It was formed by the seven-colored light refracted by the bubbles, and it looked like a 3D projection.
'Who … is this?'
Meng Chao did not sense any killing intent or vitality magnetic field from the figure.
Now that he thought about it carefully, the Vortex could not have withstood the impact from Hell's Blood No. 7. It should have died already.
This was the last message it left behind, and it could be said to be its last words.
Meng Chao sighed in relief and observed the figure of the woman in the bubbles.
He was certain that he had never seen this face in this life or his previous life.
For some reason, he felt like he had seen it before.
After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Chao came to a sudden realization. It was her presence.
The bubble messenger had a presence he was very familiar with.
It was the unique presence of his younger sister in his previous life after she turned into the Dark Witch!
