And all of this was far from the entirety of the primeval city.
Meng Chao noticed that most of the buildings in the crystalline city were levitating in the air.
There were also many small crystalline objects that were similar to vehicles. They did not have wings or jet engines. Instead, they were silently pushed forward by spirit energy ripples. They flew up, down, and retreated quickly.
By the looks of it, the ancient civilization's maglev and anti-gravity technology had already reached the peak.
That was only natural.
It had to be known that monsters were products of the ancient civilization's genetic modification.
Many of the large monsters had amazing maglev and anti-gravity organs in their bodies.
That was how they could fight against gravity and carry their bodies that weighed more than ten thousand tons.
The maglev and anti-gravity technology used by the ancient people was naturally better than the technology used in the monsters.
The ancient city that used this technology could not be bound by the area it occupied and gravity. It could build a three-dimensional home in the world at will.
When Meng Chao looked over, he found that the outermost perimeter of the ancient city was the lowest. Many of the buildings levitated three to five meters above the ground.
When they got closer to the city center, the height of the crystal buildings gradually increased.
They went from thirty meters to eighty meters, hundreds of meters, and even more than one thousand meters.
The larger the building, the purer the material, the more dazzling the spirit tattoos carved on the inside and outside, and the more dazzling the light they shone, they usually occupied a higher spot in the sky.
From the distance, the ancient city was like a conical mountain that rose from the ground and reached the clouds.
At the center of the city was a crystal mine. Hundreds of colors of spirit energy fused together and rose into the sky. Countless crystal buildings surrounded the rainbow-colored spirit energy pillar. They rotated slowly and became taller. It was like a stairway that went straight up and down. It was connected to a place beyond the atmosphere!
The insect-type monster's compound eyes shone with a complicated light. They shone at the sky, where the rainbow stairway had disappeared.
Meng Chao stimulated his soul and tried to widen his nonexistent eyes so that he could see the sky clearly.
He did not know whether the evolved compound eyes could really see through the atmosphere.
Or whether the mother used an incredibly profound method to send images of outer space to all the monsters' nerve centers.
The insect-type monster and Meng Chao "saw" it!
They saw a thin, sparkling, and translucent line in the sky.
No, it wasn't a single line, but countless dazzling and fine lines that crisscrossed together to form a large net that covered the heavens and the earth. It split the entire sky apart and completely enveloped the ground beneath the sky.
At the intersection of two or several thin lines, a new thin line would hang down from beyond the atmosphere and extend all the way to the center of the ancient city.
The thin line that was perpendicular to the sky was the Rainbow Stairway that surrounded countless crystal buildings.
From the visual comparison of the two, the thin lines outside the atmosphere were, of course, not real lines, but pipes that were more than a hundred meters or even a thousand meters in diameter, as well as the various buildings and structures attached to the pipes.
"This is … a structure on the synchronous orbit!
"The Primordial Civilization's maglev and anti-gravity technology is so advanced that it can lift a large amount of matter from the surface of a planet to beyond the atmosphere, to a synchronous orbit that is almost free of gravity!
"The ancient people built a large number of synchronous orbit structures above the atmosphere of the Other World. They crisscrossed with each other and formed a huge network. Through this method, they could perfectly use all the matter and energy on the planet.
"This is the most perfect way to develop and use a planet!
"Compared to the development of the Other World by the ancient people, the development of Earth by Earthlings is practically insignificant. It can't even be considered as scratching an itch through our boots. It's no wonder why we haven't developed the amazing energy known as spirit energy on Earth!
"Based on the scale of the synchronous orbit structures, even if they didn't cover the entire Other World, they should be close to it. Perhaps there's an even more brilliant and majestic city in the sky at the other end of the Rainbow Stairway, above the atmosphere and below the stars.
"No, it's not just one, but one hundred of them or even more …"
The scene before him caused a storm to rage in Meng Chao's heart.
However, aside from great shock, there was also a deep and sharp urge that surged in the depths of his soul.
He wanted to … eat the entire primordial city.
No, this was not his urge. It was the urge of the insect-type monsters.
It was the urge of the tens of millions of insect-type monsters that covered half of the sky and ten times the number of monsters that formed a mighty monster horde.
Attack, kill, destroy, crush, devour, and destroy.
This was their mission.
This was the only reason why they were born and came here with a clean sweep.
"What's going on?"
Meng Chao was shocked. "Monsters are tools of production created by the ancient people. Shouldn't they obey the orders of the ancient people?
"Why does this ancient monster horde seem to have completely lost control and want to devour their creator and master?"
No, it was not just the insect horde where the insect-type monster was.
When the millions of flying locusts arrived above the ancient city, there were dozens of black waves that came surging at the same time from all directions.
Meng Chao observed them carefully and noticed that the monsters that formed the waves were all ravenous monsters.
They roared, danced, squirmed, and released bioelectricity and brain waves to their heart's content to form a deafening voice.
"Kill! Devour! Destroy!
"Kill! Devour! Destroy!
"Kill! Devour! Destroy! "
Before this voice that sounded like it came from the depths of hell, even the dazzling ancient city shuddered a little.
Meng Chao saw countless flat cubes rise slowly around the city.
They were like crystal shields that were glittering and translucent.
They relied on the attractive and repulsive forces of the spirit energy magnetic fields to automatically form indestructible walls.
Where there were more monsters and the monster horde was fiercer, the crystal shields were thicker and wider.
Where there were fewer monsters, the crystal shields that were more than one hundred meters in length and width were arranged more sparsely.
At the same time, many of the crystal buildings in the city spun faster and gathered together like building blocks.
Some of the buildings retreated to the city center and slowly rose through the Rainbow Stairway in the city center.
By the looks of it, they wanted to leave the ground and go beyond the atmosphere.
But there were also a lot of buildings that floated behind the crystal shields on their own like fully-armored soldiers who stepped forward bravely.
Meng Chao noticed that most of the buildings that tried to escape beyond the atmosphere were ellipsoids or spheres.
Even if they were cubes, cuboids, or icosahedrons, their corners were usually polished to the point that they gave off a sense of safety and stability.
They should be the civil buildings of the ancient civilization.
The buildings that rushed behind the crystal shields and faced the monster horde directly had very sharp corners and even spikes. They looked like crystalline hedgehogs or sea urchins, and when people saw them, they felt chills run down their spines.
They should be the military buildings of the ancient civilization.
Before the monster horde could finish getting into formation, the military buildings that looked like crystal hedgehogs shone with dazzling light.
Countless rainbow-colored rays of light almost instantly traversed dozens of miles, piercing through the raging beast tide.
The closest ray was only dozens of meters away from Meng Chao.
Meng Chao did not have time to react. Hundreds of insect-type monsters that were swept by the red rays dozens of meters to his left were instantly reduced to fireballs. Then, in the next instant, they were reduced to ashes.
It has to be known that the strongest incendiary bombs created by humans were the ones that had a lot of flammable crystal powder added to them. Even so, it would take at least five minutes to burn a monster to ashes.
The red ray clearly didn't give off a feeling of "heat" or "danger".
But the insect-type monsters that were swept by them seemed to have an invisible demonic flame that surged out of their cells. They burned themselves to death.
From the moment they swung their mandibles and hissed to the moment they were reduced to ashes, less than three seconds had passed!
A tunnel that was five kilometers long and more than twenty meters wide instantly appeared in the insect horde that was more than five kilometers thick. It was empty.
No, it was not empty.
Since the attack had come too suddenly, when the insect-type monsters were instantly burned to ashes, their ashes remained in the form of insects for a second before they broke down and scattered everywhere.
The other insect-type monsters did not have the time to fill the holes they left behind.
More rays stabbed into the insect horde without a sound.
Meng Chao noticed that different colored rays had different effects.
The red rays could make monsters burn and instantly turn them to ashes.
The blue rays were like absolute zero. They could freeze a monster's cells into ice and cut off all their life force. Even if they thawed, they would be reduced to a pile of rotten flesh.
The yellow rays were like invisible but unstoppable blades. They could instantly cut a large insect that was more than twenty meters long into pieces that were no bigger than a fingernail.
The purple rays were incredibly acidic and corrosive. The monsters enveloped by the purple light started rotting and withering at a visible speed. In just a few seconds, they would either turn into skeletons or empty shells.
The golden rays were like mind attacks. With a flash of golden light, quite a number of monsters' eyes turned from red to faint gold. They no longer charged at the ancient city. Instead, they tore at their companions beside them. It was as if their control had been snatched away from their "mother"'s hands by the "ancient people".
The strangest thing was a transparent ray that could not be seen.
Meng Chao had observed it for a while before he noticed the existence of the transparent rays.
In the beginning, he only noticed that huge "air bubbles" often appeared in the depths of the insect horde.
The insect-type monsters that were originally at the spots where the bubbles were would disappear for some unknown reason.
