Gu Jianbo told Meng Chao that over the past seventy-two hours, humans had been relying on the steel defense line and not going out. Aside from reducing casualties and using long-distance firepower to whittle down the monster horde's charge, their most important goal was to locate and kill most of the Apocalyptic Beasts.
The heavens did not let down those who worked hard. During the past three days, the Deity Realm elites of Dragon City had continuously shown weakness, baited the enemies, engaged in a tug-of-war, and held them back. In the end, the Deity Realm elites in Dragon City managed to cut off the retreat of more than ten Apocalyptic Beasts and surrounded them.
If this were in the past, surrounding more than ten Apocalyptic Beasts in one go would undoubtedly be incredibly dangerous.
It had to be known that there were only two digits of Deity Realm superhumans in Dragon City. If the Apocalyptic Beasts became desperate, there was a high possibility that they would die together with the Deity Realm superhumans.
Even when he was heavily injured, he charged into Dragon City regardless of the cost and dragged tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Dragon Citizens into hell.
At the very least, quite a number of Apocalyptic Beasts did this in his previous life.
But it was still the same thing. Ever since he returned to the past, Dragon City's strategic situation had changed drastically.
Apocalyptic Beasts might be powerful, but they had to obey the laws of nature and living creatures.
Their strength could only be sustained by habitats rich in spiritual energy and crystals.
The amount of resources the Apocalyptic Beasts ate every day was astronomical.
Normal monsters like Demonic Halberd Pigs and Iron-armored Rhinoceroses could not fill the Apocalyptic Beasts' bottomless appetites.
Only by devouring a large number of Nightmarish Beasts and Hell Beasts could an Apocalyptic Beast maintain its strongest fighting strength.
However, with the unrestrained expansion of the human race, many resource-rich grotto-heavens and blessed lands were occupied by humans.
The normal monsters, Nightmarish Beasts, and Hell Beasts that originally resided in the area had to move elsewhere, so they naturally got into conflict with the monsters there.
Once the ecosystem started to collapse, the impact would be passed on to the king at the top of the food chain sooner or later.
Ever since the monster civilization lost badly at the northern frontlines, many of the Apocalyptic Beasts had not eaten to their heart's content and tasted the feeling of being filled with spirit energy for a year or two.
They wanted to attack Dragon City, but they were just a few Apocalyptic Beasts. When they faced the humans' steel defense lines and dozens of Deity Realm superhumans, they would be terrified.
Unite all the Apocalyptic Beasts and attack together?
At that time, the monster civilization did not have the ability to unite Apocalyptic Beasts of different species who could not communicate with each other and were mortal enemies.
At that moment, the Apocalyptic Beasts finally gathered together under the pressure of death, but it was already too late.
Right now, the Apocalyptic Beast was at its weakest.
Many of the Apocalyptic Beasts' fighting strength was less than 50% of their peak.
However, it was impossible for them to flee.
This was because the complete annihilation of the beast tide meant the complete collapse of the food chain.
Even if they could escape the human encirclement, they wouldn't be able to find enough crystals and food.
Most of the crystals were buried deep underground, and only special monsters or humans with advanced technology could dig them out.
They were destined to become weaker and weaker.
If they hid in the wild for another year or so, perhaps even Heaven Realm superhumans would be able to easily kill them.
The Apocalyptic Beast had no choice but to fight to the death.
This was the decisive moment of the pitched battle at the borders of Dragon City.
Gu Jianbo told Meng Chao that the lecturers, department deans, and deans of Agricultural University were already fighting an Apocalyptic Beast in the valley ahead.
Black Tortoise Zong Yue, the former leader of Agricultural University's martial arts course and the Deity Realm superhuman with the greatest defense in Dragon City, was stationed there. Griffin Li Yingzi, Blade Dancer Gu Jianbo, and other martial artists at the peak of Heaven Realm who had shone brilliantly. Meng Chao naturally did not need to "help" them.
But Gu Jianbo knew that Meng Chao had just contributed greatly in the lair, and he was not too far away from the valley.
Meng Chao was his first true disciple, and he lived up to his name as the eldest senior brother of the Ultimate Style. Naturally, he had his own selfish motives and asked Meng Chao to hurry over to watch the fight.
A fight between a Deity Realm superhuman and an Apocalyptic Beast was not something that could be seen every day.
With Meng Chao's cultivation realm and the stimulation from his contribution points, there was a high possibility that he would gain a brand new epiphany from this fight at the peak, and his cultivation realm would increase.
"Brother Bo, you're too kind. Ask our Dean Zong to hold on. I'll be right there!"
Meng Chao had already completed the mission to reinforce the defense line at Burning Island.
Gu Jianbo had also used the higher authority in the battle network to issue the mission to kill an Apocalyptic Beast.
Originally, with Meng Chao's four-star strength, he did not have the right to participate in missions related to Apocalyptic Beasts.
But the main person in charge of the mission, Deity Realm superhuman Black Tortoise Zong Yue, had approved it at the last minute and endorsed Meng Chao on his behalf.
Since humans had already gained complete control over the airspace, there were a few armored airships with signal towers cruising in the air to ensure that the network would not be obstructed.
Meng Chao immediately received the coordinates Gu Jianbo sent him. The valley where the Apocalyptic Beast was surrounded was seven kilometers ahead of him.
He borrowed a non-motorized hang glider from the Red Dragon Army and put it on his back. He searched for an empty spot and charged forward for around one hundred meters. With a whoosh, he spread his wings and activated maglev to fly away like a swallow.
At that moment, Meng Chao was no longer as simple as a hot-air balloon that could only float in the air.
The thirty-six thousand pores all over his body could spit out spiritual energy. Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff.
Although he still couldn't move as he pleased in midair, he could use the jet of air and the wind to fly in the same direction as fast as lightning.
The battle continued in the forest beneath him.
But it turned into a one-sided hunt for the humans.
As the six-legged spider-shaped fighting vehicles, the crab-shaped runic symbol fighting vehicles with chainsaws, and the soldiers in motorized armor surged in like a tidal wave, thousands of towering trees that were as thick as people's arms fell down like weeds. The monsters hiding in them ran around like headless flies. They were no longer as brutal and strong as they were a moment ago, but they were herded together by the humans and surrounded by monster capture nets.
There were also a handful of Nightmarish Beasts and Hell Beasts who wanted to fight back.
But they were first bombarded by the humans and focused fire on them.
Then, they were surrounded by superhumans who outnumbered them ten times. They were cut so many times that they were on the verge of death. They could only scream in pain and wait to be captured.
However, after they went over a tall mountain, the situation changed.
Ahead of them was a valley surrounded by clouds. The somber atmosphere made Meng Chao's skin crawl.
It was very difficult for the humans' runic symbol fighting vehicles and main battle tanks to cross mountains. Even if they could force their way into the valley, it would be difficult for them to bring out the entire steel army.
Only the strong could decide who the valley belonged to.
Meng Chao swung his saber and cut through the clouds in front of him.
Meng Chao saw qi waves tumbling in the depths of the valley, and spirit flames raged.
Two vitality magnetic fields that could topple mountains attracted a lot of impurities. They rotated at high speed and clashed against each other like two burning, dark clouds.
The person standing in the air with his back against Meng Chao was originally a slightly hunched old man with a medium build.
However, his vitality magnetic field seemed to possess an unbelievable attraction force. It attracted the burning, dark clouds, the spirit energy in the world, and even Meng Chao and everyone else's gazes. Then, like a volcano eruption, it gushed out and formed a huge, domineering, and unshakable beast soul that was like the Black Tortoise.
The beast soul continued spreading out, and gradually, it covered a circular area of hundreds of meters or even more than one thousand meters.
The beast soul seeped into Meng Chao's body, and he noticed that a black and shiny light had appeared on his skin.
While his flesh maintained its original softness and agility, it actually became a bit tougher.
This was the peerless power of a Deity Realm superhuman — the power of a domain!
If the greatest difference between Earth Realm and Heaven Realm superhumans was whether they could activate maglev and fly into the sky, then the greatest difference between Heaven Realm and Deity Realm superhumans was whether they could control maglev at will.
The greatest difference between those in Heaven Realm and Deity Realm was whether they could control maglev at will. They could use their vitality magnetic field and the attraction and repulsion from the planet's magnetic field to fly freely at high speed. They could even break the sound barrier.
The second difference was whether they could release their domains to increase their teammates' abilities and weaken their enemies' fighting strength.
It could be said that the power of a Deity Realm superhuman was not limited to just themselves.
Instead, it was because he could turn an entire army that was gathered around him into an invincible army!
Black Tortoise Zong Yue, the old leader of Agricultural University's martial arts course, was not only known as the person with the greatest defense among the superhumans in Dragon City.
When his vitality magnetic field erupted, his comrades who resonated with him and were affected by him had their defenses increase by leaps and bounds.
'Is this the power of Deity Realm?'
Meng Chao heard thunderous booms coming from each of his spirit meridians.
He knew that his vitality magnetic field had resonated deeply with Black Tortoise Zong Yue's vitality magnetic field and "shared" part of the power of Deity Realm.
This power not only made him feel that it was peerless, but it also made him hungry and eager.
He might have become the youngest Heaven Realm superhuman in Dragon City.
But he still had a long way to go before he reached Deity Realm.
And Deity Realm was not the end.
If he wanted to conquer the Other World and stand above the gods and demons, the power of Deity Realm alone was far from enough!
What sort of journey and what sort of battlefield lay beyond the Other World?
Compared to the grand view of the ancient civilization, the Other World was just a small part of it. It was just a small piece of an incredibly exciting puzzle.
The long road ahead and the vast future did not make Meng Chao feel lost or depressed.
Instead, it made him incredibly excited to fight.
He licked his lips and narrowed his eyes to look at the area across from the old dean, Black Tortoise Zong Yue.
At first glance, aside from the rising and falling mountains surrounded by clouds and burning flames, there was nothing in front of him.
There was only a protruding hill that swayed violently as if there was an earthquake.
But soon, two heads that looked like a lizard and a plesiosaur popped out of the "hill". They opened their mouths that were more than ten meters wide and spat out two waves of dark green and faint purple poisonous fog at Black Tortoise Zong Yue.
The trees and vines on the "hill" danced madly like the tentacles of a mollusk and threw out mosquitoes that looked like black tornadoes.
This "hill", which was nearly a hundred meters in length, was actually alive!
'Demonic Mountain!'
Meng Chao's mind raced, and he instantly found the Apocalyptic Beast's name from his previous life!
