This was the lowest spot in the entire Divine Fog Mountain.
Over the past half a month, storms that were ten times stronger than the ones in the past attacked Divine Fog Mountain nonstop. Not only did they shatter the mountain rocks, the soil fell, and the towering trees whose roots were buried deep underground were all uprooted.
They also invaded the depths of Divine Fog Mountain and touched the crystal mines that contained surging spirit energy.
Through the raging underground rivers, hundreds of crystal powders of different natures were analyzed and flushed out of the underground world.
Mountain torrents and mudslides brought them all the way to this place.
The water with lighter mass flowed along the river.
The crystal powder with heavier mass stayed there and was swept into the vortex. Due to the high-speed friction, unpredictable and incredibly violent reactions occurred.
Hence, this place was not as simple as a rapid vortex where rivers converged.
It was more like a reaction furnace that had thousands of unknown chemicals poured into it and heated it to more than one thousand degrees Celsius.
Below the swirl, billions of crystal powder were blossoming like fireworks, with colorful bubbles popping up one after another.
The bubbles exploded above the vortex and turned into purple and red flames that released the sulfuric scent of demonic flames from hell.
The superhumans stationed in Hidden Fog Desolate Region had long since noticed the vortex.
They even gave it the name Demon's Eye.
This was the place where the spirit energy was the most chaotic in Hidden Fog Desolate Region when extreme weather raged.
Even the Deity Realm superhumans did not want to get close to this place while thunder rumbled and rain poured down.
But Meng Chao had no other choice.
He heard the sound of the cracks behind him becoming sharper and closer.
He also heard the Blood Flowers and the green tide rustling as they grew.
Countless vines with blood capillaries wrapped around them were already closing in on him from all directions through the zigzagging cracks in the rocks.
And the aftereffects of Ultimate Combustion, which he had been suppressing for a long time in the depths of his cells, finally erupted.
He could sense that every single one of his mitochondria was exploding like fireworks.
Once they released the most dazzling colors, they turned into the dullest smoke.
From his nostrils, ears, throat, and even every pore on his body, surging heat waves and green smoke rose in spirals.
He had already gone through spirit energy deviation.
He was on the verge of spontaneous combustion.
And the monster mastermind had injected poison into his body through the Blood Flowers and the Brambles, as well as malicious intent into the depths of his soul through the Skeletal Giant.
They were also like two rows of not-so-sharp sawteeth that were leisurely chewing at him, tearing him apart and devouring him.
Gulp!
Meng Chao swallowed the magma that surged out of his throat.
Before the vines covered in poisonous thorns grabbed his ankle again, he used all his strength to jump down from the cliff that was as smooth as a mirror towards the Demon's Eye.
Plop!
Meng Chao fell into a vortex filled with chaotic spirit energy.
It was like falling into a burning chemical furnace.
The rapidly rotating torrents extended thousands of demonic claws, trying to peel off his flesh from his bones and leave only a clean skeleton behind.
The crystal powder that reacted violently surged into his wounds in an attempt to create an even more intense reaction with his limbs and organs, which were about to collapse.
For a moment, the pain of being reborn made Meng Chao want to give up on struggling and let the vortex do whatever it wanted. He wanted to quietly fall into the depths of the darkness.
But the next second, amid the crystal reaction that looked like fireworks, he saw Jin Qianxi's gaze and Lu Siya's smile.
He also remembered the oath he swore to Jin Qianxi and Lu Siya.
'No …
'The future has changed.
'Senior Jin's heroic spirit is protecting me, and Lu Siya's soul is waiting for me in the monster mastermind's clutches.
'I can do it. This is my journey. Even if the path ahead is filled with thorns and flames, I will persevere to the end and seize victory!'
Meng Chao opened his eyes in the depths of the vortex.
His eyes were like the nozzles of a rocket, shooting out the most dazzling flames with a whirring sound.
They were also like black holes filled with mysterious attraction that absorbed the light released by the intense reaction from the billions of crystal powder around him.
The contribution points from Kindling, the power from Jin Qianxi's heroic spirit, the spirit energy that gushed out from the intense reaction from more than one thousand types of crystal powder, the complicated spirit energy from the Red Radiance Jades, Blue Origin Crystals, Hell's Blood, and his willpower that had been refined by the flames of the apocalypse gathered together. A mysterious and unfathomable chemical reaction caused a brand new power to be born in the depths of his cells, which were about to burn out.
He struggled hard in the depths of the vortex.
He sensed and captured the direction of each undercurrent.
He skillfully used the torrent to tear and drag him.
He activated his vitality magnetic field and patiently gathered the crystal powder that was the size of a speck of dust.
He spun around like a cockroach when he fell into the toilet bowl and went with the flow.
Then, he took the initiative to accelerate in the direction of the vortex and accumulate a fierce centrifugal force bit by bit.
In the end, when he reached the limit of his speed, all 36,000 pores on his body "fired" at the same time. The spirit flames that gushed out gathered into a powerful shockwave behind him. At the same time, a thick pillar of water blasted out of the vortex, Meng Chao was pushed out of the vortex!
Meng Chao broke free of the vortex's entanglement.
He flew down the river like an arrow fired from a bow.
It was only at that moment that he could float his head above the raging river. He spat out the sand in his mouth and took in his first breath of incredibly fresh air.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The sound of countless boulders tumbling into the river came from behind him.
Meng Chao turned his head around and saw a nightmarish scene.
On the cliff, which was originally as smooth as a mirror, the crack that he had just escaped from was expanding and cracking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, the crack turned into hundreds of intersecting cracks that resembled a spider's web.
Dozens of vines surrounded by blood vessels and covered in poisonous thorns crawled out of each crack.
The ends of the vines split apart like man-eating plants to reveal mouths filled with sawteeth and venom. They let out terrifying screeches.
It was as if hundreds of demonic tentacles had grown out of the wall and were trying to fish Meng Chao out of the river.
Meng Chao realized that they were too far away from each other and that he was going down the river too quickly. It was impossible for him to be caught by the tentacles.
The tentacles decided to go back and crush the wall. They wrapped themselves around the boulders and took the initiative to split from the roots. Then, they jumped into the vortex with loud thuds.
Meng Chao remembered the UHV power transmission towers that could destroy armored airships that were devoured by the green tide.
He could not help but suck in a sharp breath.
He realized that he was not completely out of danger yet.
Meng Chao used his hands and feet to increase his speed.
At the moment most of the boulders fell into the vortex, they were crushed by the rampaging torrent and chaotic spirit energy.
But a small number of Blood Flower spores and the algae that formed the green tide among the scattered vines managed to escape the destruction of the vortex. They rode the torrent and chased after Meng Chao in the direction he fled.
Soon, they found a host that was even better than the boulders.
Due to the humans' invasion, the drastic change in the weather, the flooding of the river, and the impact of the mudslides, most of the aquatic monsters in Hidden Fog had died over the past few months.
However, those that could hide in the depths of the river and survive until this day were definitely the strongest and fiercest aquatic monsters.
Meng Chao felt dozens of sharp gazes staring at him at the same time.
When he turned his head around, he saw dozens of black shadows charging at him like torpedoes.
Tiger Jumping Fish, Lion Dragon Fish, River Turning Crocodiles, Snake-Necked Turtles …
All of them were hungry Nightmarish Beasts.
Usually, Nightmarish Beasts were existences that Meng Chao could casually use for barbecue.
But to him, who was suffering from the backlash of Extreme Combustion and had yet to completely shake off his spirit energy deviation, he had long since run out of energy.
Now, he was an existence even more terrifying than an Apocalyptic Beast.
Besides, these Nightmarish Beasts were surrounded by blood tattoos that covered the green tide. Their eyeballs shone with a bewitching red light, and they were one hundred times more monstrous than usual.
They were no longer normal monsters.
Instead, they were infected and controlled, and they mutated into undead creatures!
The aquatic monsters were naturally faster than Meng Chao, who was struggling with all his might in the raging river.
A few Tiger Jumping Fish and Lion Dragon Fish that shone with a bloody light sped up in front of Meng Chao and surrounded him to intercept him.
'I've already come this far. Even if I have to give up everything, I can't let you stop me!'
Meng Chao could not dodge, so he decided to increase his speed to the max and crash into the head of a Tiger Jumping Fish that was more than four meters long.
Thud!
At the moment he crashed into it, his arm surrounded by spirit tattoos stabbed the Tiger Jumping Fish's eye socket.
Spirit flames surged out and burned the Tiger Jumping Fish's eyeball, brain matter, spinal cord, and even the Blood Flower spores and green tide that had invaded its body to ashes.
Kacha!
A Snake-Necked Turtle seized the chance to ambush him. It extended its neck and bit Meng Chao's thigh.
Meng Chao did not even turn his head around. He grabbed the Tiger Jumping Fish's mouth and broke its sharpest fangs. Then, with a backhand swing, he stabbed the fangs into the Snake-Necked Turtle's skull.
Based on the subtle feedback from his touch, as if he had X-ray vision, he accurately found the gap to the left of the Snake-Necked Turtle's skull. He stabbed it into the brain, vibrated it at high frequencies, and shattered the brain matter.
Suddenly, sharp pain shot through his shoulder. He had been bitten by a River Turning Crocodile.
This creature had the most terrifying bite strength among amphibious monsters. It could crush the high-speed propellers of a moving speedboat with one bite.
Meng Chao grunted in pain. He grabbed the crocodile's tail and yanked it fiercely. The pain in his shoulder grew stronger, and his arm felt like it was about to be separated from his body.
When he saw that the crocodile's fangs had already sunk deep into his shoulder, he could not deal with it for a period of time. A fierce light shone in his eyes, and he decided to open his mouth and bite the River Turning Crocodile's forelimb.
Aside from having terrifying bite strength, the River Turning Crocodile's scales were also as thick as composite armor.
If a bullet from a normal gun hit it, it would only cause sparks to fly and bounce back.
However, in his rage, Meng Chao tore off the creature's scales and flesh like he was cutting sugar cane!
