"H-How is this possible?"
The relaxed and confident look on the skeletal giant's face instantly froze, split, and crumbled.
Then, it turned into great puzzlement and shock that grew stronger with each passing moment.
In front of it, Meng Chao's bones, which had been piled up into a small mound and completely buried him, spread out like ripples when Meng Chao released his mental power, which was like a shockwave.
With Golden Tooth Bloody Soul on his shoulder, Meng Chao strode out of the endless skeletons with his head held high.
"It's only now that I understand the meaning behind Senior Jin Qianxi's words."
Golden flames that had solidified into lightning surged in Meng Chao's eyes.
He no longer had any fear or puzzlement. He stared at the skeletal giant and enunciated his words clearly. "Humans are not monsters!
"Humans are not natural disasters!
"Humans should not bring destruction to this world or any other world in the universe!
"We will definitely not charge into hell based on the path you designed. We will find our own path and walk down it with determination!
"We will use our own methods to obtain victory. With our own methods, we will turn the Other World into a beautiful home like Earth. After that, one of these days, we will also create a path to the heavens and touch the billions of brilliant stars above our heads. But this path to the heavens will not be created with the blood, flesh, and bones of the innocent. It will be created with the wisdom and courage of all humans!"
With each step Meng Chao took, his body seemed to grow a little larger.
When he stepped in the air and arrived at the skeletal giant's head, his body had already grown one hundred times larger.
Even though there was still some distance between him and the skeletal giant.
But this distance was no longer unreachable.
More importantly, he could see the weakness hidden behind the skeletal giant.
The thing curled up in the seemingly mighty and indestructible shell was not a giant that could support the heavens.
It was just a skeleton in a grave.
"Your path is wrong. You can't help Dragon City create a bright future. Failure is your destiny, and destruction is your end. You're already dead!"
Under the skeletal giant's shocked gaze, Meng Chao jumped high into the air.
The Golden Tooth Bloody Soul Saber was surrounded by spirit tattoos. It raised its hands above its head, which radiated spirit qi, and spewed out golden flames that were more than 100 meters long.
It was not a saber, but a torch that illuminated the darkness, dispelled evil, and pointed the way!
It was not the exquisite Celestial Tyrant's Star Shattering Slash.
It was simple and crude, and it was a basic martial art suitable for all ages. It was the first style of One Hundred Saber Techniques — Head-On Wind Slash!
Meng Chao remembered his ace instructor, Demon Yan, when he was in high school. He had taught him the profound secret of this slash.
"F * ck the profoundness. Do you think we're shooting a movie now? We're just killing people. Why the f * ck do we need profoundness?"
Meng Chao remembered how Demon Yan had huffed and glared at him. "The methods you use to cut people aren't important, but why is it important to cut people? When you have your parents, your wife, your children, your compatriots who are connected to you by blood, and the streets, houses, factories, schools, and your entire home that they built with hard work, and in front of you is a fierce monster, the only thing between your home and the monster is you and your saber!
"When you realize that if your slash isn't strong enough, your killing intent isn't strong enough, and the angle isn't precise enough, you won't be able to kill the monster, and your parents will be eaten by the monster, your wife and children will be trampled by the monster, and the home you and your comrades built through hard work and all the beautiful things will be drowned by the monster's excrement. And that excrement is the remains of your parents, wife, and children!
"If you can truly realize this, then you won't need any profound secret, any skills, any flashy, or nonsensical stuff. Just the simplest thing is to raise your saber high above your head. Raise it as high as you can, then swing it down. No matter how high you want it to be, you will believe that even an Apocalyptic Beast will be killed by this slash. Pour all your beliefs into it, and then, you will be able to execute the strongest slash in the world!"
Meng Chao remembered that at that time, his classmates had roared with laughter when they heard Demon Yan's unreasonable words.
No one believed him. They thought that he was just joking to ease their pressure from the national college examination.
"Mr. Yan, what if you can't kill an Apocalyptic Beast with one slash?" Meng Chao remembered that a troublemaker in class had asked him while winking at him.
"That is, you still haven't realized just how strong you are and what you must use that power to protect."
Demon Yan had always been stern, but on that day, he was surprisingly amiable.
He gazed deeply at the high school students who were in their prime. In the deepest part of his eyes, there was a glint of moisture. He said softly, "Then love, live, and build. Find and create the most beautiful and fragile things in this world.
"Trust me, as long as you find the most fragile thing in the world, you will instantly possess the strongest power in the world.
"Then, you will be able to execute the strongest slash in the world!"
"You will be able to slay tigers and dragons, slay gods and slay demons, the strongest saber strike in the world!"
In his previous life, Meng Chao had never been able to understand Instructor Yan's words even after using his entire life.
As a chess piece, he had struggled in the whirlpool. He had never truly loved, lived, built, or created.
This meant that he had never known just what the strongest slash in the world looked like.
But now, he felt that he had found the answer.
The most fragile thing in the world was hope.
But if he infused the most fragile hope into the seven-foot-long blade through the simplest move, it would release a light that was even more dazzling than a supernova explosion!
Meng Chao was guided by the golden torch and flew to the skeletal giant's head.
His entire body was enveloped by the burning light of hope, and he became one with Golden Tooth Bloody Soul.
He used his mind as fuel to light up golden hope and illuminate the illusory space formed by blood and bones.
In fact, even the skeletal giant, which was the spiritual core of the monster's mastermind, instinctively narrowed its eyes in the face of this incredibly precious, slim, and brilliant hope. Its huge body took a few steps back, and it even stretched out its hands to block it.
Hence, Meng Chao saw its weakness and weakness clearly.
He executed the strongest slash in the world based on the trajectory of hope.
Whoosh!
Time seemed to have frozen at that moment.
The skeletal giant and the entire carcass cave turned into a golden ocean.
Meng Chao sprawled out in the deepest part of the golden ocean.
The Golden Tooth Blood Soul Saber, which was a manifestation of his mind power, transformed into golden flames and shattered into pieces, vanishing without a trace.
When he fought against Lu Siya just now, he used Ultimate Combustion to squeeze out all his flesh and blood.
Now, to escape the mind of the monster's mastermind, he used up all his mental power.
And the effect of that slash …
Meng Chao gritted his teeth and turned around with great difficulty.
When the golden wave gradually faded away, the skeletal giant froze up in the most monstrous posture, like a deformed and twisted statue.
It looked like it had bent down and extended its hand to crush Meng Chao like a bug on the ground.
It had no time to bother about the green cocoon that had wrapped around Lu Siya after Meng Chao cut off its "nerves" and tossed to the side.
However, from the center of its eyebrows to the bloody mouth that was full of tusks, to its chest that was made of countless skulls, to its abdomen where another bloody mouth was growing, and to its waist, there was a narrow wound that was almost a thousand meters long.
Golden light surged in the depths of the wound, as if balls of golden magma were about to gush out.
No, that was not all.
Behind the skeletal giant was a long and narrow golden crack on the walls of the carcass cave.
The two cracks seemed to have a life of their own. They grew longer and brighter, and they continued spreading and extending.
The power of Meng Chao's slash pierced the mind core of the monster's mastermind and tore through the borders of the illusion!
The skeletal giant's palm that covered the sky was inches away from Meng Chao.
But no matter what, it could not press down.
It was trembling.
The entire carcass cave was swaying as well.
A large number of skeletons fell from the top of the karst cave. The dull bones looked like they were scattered by a celestial maiden. Before they landed on the ground, they turned into powder and smoke.
"That's impossible … You're just a mortal …"
A shocked and angry voice came from the depths of the skeletal giant's rapidly collapsing chest.
"As for you, you are just a beast."
Meng Chao replied coldly.
He sucked in a deep breath, endured the pain of his soul being torn apart, and crawled toward Lu Siya.
The green cocoon that was weaved by millions of thorny vines and wrapped around Lu Siya also withered under the golden flames and was reduced to ashes.
Lu Siya woke up slowly and coughed violently.
"Go, let's escape. We still have hope. Everything is not too late!"
Meng Chao growled. He carried Lu Siya and crawled to the widest and brightest part of the golden crack on the wall of the karst cave.
He knew that the slash just now was not enough to completely destroy the spiritual core of the monster's mastermind.
Although he had already squeezed out all of his spiritual power.
However, the other party was, after all, a supreme existence who could summon the wind and rain and destroy the world during the Primordial War.
Even the space-based orbital weapons of the ancient people and the corrosion of billions of years had failed to completely kill it.
Since Meng Chao had yet to surpass Deity Realm, his slash would at most leave a permanent wound on its spiritual core and stop it for a while.
They had to use the short window of a few minutes or even a few seconds to escape from the illusion!
Just as he expected, the two of them staggered, but before they could take a few steps …
Behind them, an earth-shattering roar rose.
The skeletal giant had been cut from the top of its skull to its waist by Meng Chao's shocking slash, and it was cut vertically in half.
As the golden light shone and spread out, all the bones in its body became restless and fought to escape.
Its huge body was about to be torn to pieces and disintegrated with a bang.
Countless red tentacles and green vines crawled out from the cracks of the bones and the black eye sockets of the millions of skulls. Like surgical sutures, they pieced the crumbling body back together!
