At that moment, after decades of fighting, 99% of Jin Qianxi's soul had been destroyed by the power from the ancient era.
Perhaps she could no longer think normally and had lost all her memories. She no longer remembered her identity as Jin Qianxi.
She only had one last obsession left.
She remembered that she was born as a human and that she had to love and protect something.
This obsession helped Jin Qianxi's fragmented soul turn into a heroic spirit that surged toward Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
It gently enveloped them and nourished their broken mental defenses. Then, it turned into a pair of burning wings on their backs, leading them into the sky and flying towards the radiant gap.
"She wants to help us escape!"
Lu Siya was surprised and delighted. "Jin Qianxi's unyielding will turned into a heroic spirit and wants to send us on our final journey!"
"That's right, Senior Jin has turned into a heroic spirit …"
Meng Chao closed his eyes, and they shone with burning tears.
Compared to Lu Siya, his way of thinking was much closer to Jin Qianxi's.
The resonance between his and Jin Qianxi's souls became stronger.
As he bathed in the flames of Jin Qianxi's heroic spirit, Meng Chao instantly received an astronomical amount of information in a way that could not be described with words.
They were the memories of Jin Qianxi falling under the control of the monster mastermind over the past few decades in the form of incomplete brain tissue. Even so, she refused to yield and fought against the enemy with her wits and courage.
Last time, when Meng Chao communicated with the microbrain in a deep manner, he received memory fragments that had been tampered with and edited by the monster mastermind to hide certain things.
This time, he stood from the perspective of a human, Jin Qianxi. He could see the terrifying battle in the dark in a more comprehensive and clearer manner.
He gained a deeper understanding of the nature of the monster mastermind and the thing that Jin Qianxi would rather have her soul destroyed to protect.
In an instant, Meng Chao understood what Jin Qianxi's heroic spirit meant when she stared at him and smiled.
'Senior Jin, don't worry …'
'Your persistence didn't go to waste. We still have a chance. Me, us, millions of people will inherit your will and continue protecting Dragon City. We'll win this damn war!
"No, I swear that not only will we win this war, we will also rebuild the devastated land and turn the Other World into a home that is brighter and more beautiful than Earth. Our civilization will not only touch the dazzling stars in the sky, we will also work hard to get rid of all the laments and cries within our civilization. We will not turn into an Abnormal Calamity. We will become the hope that comes from the other side of the galaxy!"
Meng Chao's oath caused the heroic spirit's smile to become even brighter.
The golden flames surrounding Jin Qianxi's remnant soul instantly grew ten times brighter.
She turned the last of her willpower into an unstoppable golden saber and tore apart the mental weakness of the monster's mastermind so much that it was ten times larger than before.
With her pushing them forward, Meng Chao and Lu Siya moved forward at full speed. They were just one step away from escaping the mind control of the monster mastermind.
As long as they could escape.
Not only could Meng Chao's consciousness return to his body, Lu Siya could also regain control of her body.
Lu Siya had the possibility of seizing back control of her body and suppressing the heavily injured mental core of the monster's mastermind before sealing it in her own brain.
The monster mastermind also realized this.
It let out a hysterical roar, and in an unprecedentedly intense manner, it swung the tentacles and limbs that grew out of billions of corpses in a frenzy.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Countless red tentacles, dark green vines, and stark white vertebrae went stabbing at Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
Jin Qianxi's remnant soul turned into a golden barrier of flames in an attempt to block the skeletal giant's attack.
But no matter what, she had been fighting for decades, and she was practically burnt to a crisp.
The stalemate only lasted for a moment before she was torn to shreds.
Meng Chao's fingertips touched light.
All of a sudden, Zhang Xuan's body shuddered. It was as if an invisible hand had yanked him.
When he turned his head around, he saw that Lu Siya, who had fallen behind him, was once again surrounded by the blood tattoos, green hordes, and stark white skeletons.
Red, green, and white venomous snakes bound her legs tightly and dug deep into her flesh. They even crawled into her body through her wounds.
It was as if there were hundreds of venomous snakes twisting under her skin. It hurt so much that she broke out in cold sweat, and she started convulsing violently.
"Big Sis Ya!"
Meng Chao was shocked and angry. He tried to get rid of all the blood tattoos, green hordes, and skeletons.
But Lu Siya's soul had long since been deeply bound to the mind core of the monster mastermind. There was no way he could get rid of her in a hurry.
Not only did Meng Chao's attack not help Lu Siya break free from the skeletal giant, a large number of blood tattoos, green hordes, and skeletons crawled into his body, allowing him to clearly sense the bewitchment and malicious intent of the monster mastermind.
The distracting thoughts that had just calmed down turned into black venom that invaded the deepest part of his subconscious.
The skeletal giant caught up to them.
Kacha kacha, kacha kacha.
As the bone-chilling sounds of bones twisting, shattering, and being pieced together rose, the skeletal giant's form went through another shocking change.
Its back was still against the ground, and its belly was facing the sky. It was upside down.
But its belly, which was facing the sky like a dead fish, bulged up like a pregnant woman who had been pregnant for ten months. It was as if something was growing madly inside and squirming violently, causing its belly to swell up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, the skeletal giant's belly exploded.
The long and narrow wound turned into a gaping mouth with intersecting fangs.
From the depths of the bloody mouth, however, an extremely thick, bloody, and mucus-covered arm gushed out.
The arm was formed by thousands of skeletons, and it was thicker and longer than any of its limbs.
There were also dozens of joints on it that could turn 360 degrees, so the dozens of claws at the end of the arm could grab in all directions from unbelievable angles.
There was also a huge eye on the palm at the center of the dozens of claws. It was staring at Meng Chao and Lu Siya, and it shone with a brutal, brutal, and evil red light.
He blinked, and his monstrous hands went to grab Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
Jin Qianxi's heroic spirit once again condensed into an unyielding Fire Phoenix, blocking in front of the two.
But the enraged mastermind grabbed him with its monstrous hands and squeezed him viciously, and he screamed in pain.
She could not stop the mastermind for long.
At the very least, it would not last long enough for Meng Chao to help Lu Siya break free from the mind control.
And in front of them was the crazily squirming bone wall. The escape path that had just been opened was swiftly closed again due to the rage of the monster's mastermind.
The light dimmed and disappeared inch by inch.
In a few seconds, the last escape window would close.
"Meng Chao."
Lu Siya suddenly called out to him.
Their gazes locked.
Meng Chao understood Lu Siya's gaze.
He trembled uncontrollably.
"No, don't, Big Sis Ya …"
Before he could stop it.
Lu Siya chuckled.
"It's okay."
She had clearly been tortured by the terrifying power of the monster mastermind to the point that she no longer looked human.
His face was drenched in cold sweat, but a victorious smile bloomed on his face.
"In any case, you will save me."
Lu Siya said confidently.
It was as if she was stating a very simple fact.
Before her voice faded away, she pushed Meng Chao violently.
At the same time she pushed herself into the darkness, she also pushed Meng Chao into the light.
"No!"
Meng Chao screamed at the top of his lungs.
But he felt a warm and powerful suction force behind him, and it sucked him out of the monster mastermind's mind.
He could only watch Lu Siya fall with a smile on her face.
She fell on the deformed arm that grew out of the skeleton giant's stomach and the dozens of claws spread open.
Jin Qianxi's shattered heroic spirit turned into fine sparks. A portion of it escaped from the monster mastermind's mind with Meng Chao.
A portion of it crawled into Lu Siya's soul and was devoured by the skeleton giant along with her.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Meng Chao's vision turned stark white.
It was as if billions of thunderbolts had exploded in his mind at the same time.
His sight, hearing, touch, smell … all his senses were blown away.
He did not know how much time had passed before the stark white gradually faded away.
The bone-piercing pain surged like a tidal wave and drowned all his nerve clusters and brain cells. It stimulated his senses, and they recovered at the speed of a volcano eruption.
Meng Chao's consciousness returned to his body.
He also returned to the crack in the rock that was very close to the light.
Based on the changes in the light in front of him, they seemed to have spent a few long hours in the monster mastermind's mind.
In the real world, only a few seconds had passed. At most, it was one to two minutes.
The sound of the karst cave collapsing and the crack tearing came from behind him again.
The monster mastermind had regained control of Lu Siya's body and was chasing after him madly.
Meng Chao forced himself to cast aside everything, including Jin Qianxi's gaze and Lu Siya's smile.
He roared and did not care that his limbs were about to burn and that his blood was about to evaporate. He squeezed out the last bit of his strength and crawled toward the light on the jagged, narrow crack and the intersecting rocks.
One meter, two meters, three meters.
A burning, bloody path was left behind Meng Chao.
But in front of Meng Chao was an incredibly alluring dawn.
The storm that had raged for half a month was now heading to its end.
Even though the dark clouds were still like squirming insects that covered most of the sky, the "insects" were already filled with countless holes.
Golden blades had already pierced countless holes in the center of the "insect" swarm.
The morning sun was like fire. It flowed down the holes and shone on the ground.
Wherever the sunlight went, the ground that had been dark for a long time eagerly shone with the brightest colors and the most vibrant life force.
Meng Chao grabbed the shattered stones at the exit of the crack and cast a deep glance at the world that was about to be clear after the rain.
He noticed that the exit of the crack was on a cliff that was as smooth as a mirror.
Below the cliff was a vortex where rivers intersected, waves surged, and spirit energy was incredibly chaotic.
The crack was dozens of meters away from the vortex.
But the deafening sound of the torrent crashing into him was still like a warhammer covered in spikes. It struck Meng Chao's head repeatedly.
