“Ultimate Burning, 120%!”


  Meng Chao’s blood began to boil, turning from liquid to gas. Its volume expanded several times, causing his blood vessels to protrude from his skin. They were like thick flood dragons, wrapping around his limbs and body.

  “Ultimate Burning, 140%!”


  Meng Chao heard the sounds of cracking coming from the bones all over his body. It was as if the power hidden in the depths of his bone marrow had been squeezed out. Like an accelerant, it was thrown into his body, which was as hot as a steel furnace.

  In the excruciating pain of his body being crushed, he had also received a 140% increase in his combat ability!

  “Ultimate Burning, 160%!”


  Meng Chao felt that a ten-thousand-ton hydraulic press was crushing his internal organs.

  Without the protection of spirit energy, his internal organs would certainly spurt out of his seven orifices like deep-sea fish that had been fished out of a trench thousands of meters deep.

  With the bombardment that sounded like the War Trample, the energy hidden deep inside his internal organs surged into his blood and muscles, making his muscles bulge. While they were as hard as iron, even his skin was covered in layers of colorful metallic luster.

  “Ultimate Burning, 180%!”


  Meng Chao heard every brain cell of his scream like a boiler that was about to be burnt through. Piercing pain was transmitted from the joints of his skull. The boiling brain matter seemed to be pushing the entire top of his head high into the air.

  At this moment, even if he were to undergo brain surgery without anesthetics and use bone drills to gouge two holes in his skull, he would not feel any pain at all. He would only feel indescribable pleasure.

  This was because the pressure on his skull was already so high that it was close to the level of an out-of-body experience.

  An increase of 180% in his combat strength… That was Meng Chao’s current limit.

  If he continued to increase his spirit energy, he would really go crazy. His blood and brain would evaporate, and he would turn into a dried corpse. He might even die from spontaneous combustion within a few seconds.

  However, an increase of 180% was still far from enough.

  It was not enough to make “Lu Siya” pay a terrible price and leave an indelible impression!

  Meng Chao took a deep breath.

  He inhaled a large lump of ice-cold, turbid mud.

  However, he did not find it stinky or disgusting at all. Instead, his burning internal organs were cooled down, and he let out a satisfied moan in the depths of the debris flow.

  He activated his second spirit magnetic field.

  Divine Nine Dragon Seals was then activated at full power.

  His six dragon meridians roared again.

  Through the ultra-high-frequency vibration of the dragon meridians, the most violent, scorching, and intense spirit energy was continuously released, turning the blood all over his body into boiling dragon blood!

  Ultimate Burning!

  Boiling dragon blood!

  The two techniques that could unleash one’s combat ability in an instant were superimposed on each other in a mysterious way.

  In the blink of an eye, Meng Chao’s body, which was several times larger than before, had a translucent texture.

  It was just like the crystal corpse that the people of Dragon City had discovered in the depths of Ruins No. 1—the form of an Ancient!

  However, because of the physiological structure and the strength of human cells, Meng Chao’s body became blurry again because of the surging spirit energy.

  It was as if thousands of shadows were overlapping each other, and they would fall apart and vanish at any moment.

  It was also the appearance of Battle God Lei Zongchao when he was ill.

  Meng Chao knew very well the danger of activating both Divine Nine Dragon Seals and Ultimate Burning at the same time.

  It was like taking two completely different stimulants simultaneously and taking more than ten times the safe dosage.

  It was as if he was walking on a tightrope in the sky above hell, and he even managed to do 180 somersaults in one go.

  However, he had no other choice.

  That was the only way he could seriously injure “Lu Siya,” who had been parasitized by the monster mastermind, and fight for a chance of survival and a chance to reverse the future.

  Meng Chao gritted his teeth and used the intense pain of his dental pulp being struck by the torrent to stimulate his gradually spiraling mind and maintain his final lucidity.

  Despite that, he was unable to stop the violent power that was seeping out from his 36,000 pores. It swept up a world-shaking vortex in the depths of the debris flow.

  The swirl sucked up a lot of mud and particles that had been deposited in the depths of the debris flow. That made the flow of debris, which was already pitch-black, even more turbid.

  The power was indeed astonishing.

  However, “Lu Siya” knew immediately that he was preparing an earth-shaking ultimate move. How could she be fooled!

  Therefore, Meng Chao gritted his teeth and activated his third spirit magnetic field.

  Walking Corpse!

  He froze his skin, the fat under his skin, and the superficial flesh near his sebum with ice-cold spirit energy that was close to absolute zero.

  While maintaining the volcanic eruptions deep in his brain, his breathing, heartbeat, and body temperature all dropped to the bottom.

  Although spirit energy was still flowing out of his body, it was not easy to tell the difference.

  As long as the eruptions were not too intense, it was not easy to tell them apart amid the torrents and mudslides that were mixed with violent spirit energy in the first place.

  However, Walking Corpse and Ultimate Burning were two techniques that operated on opposite principles.

  Their spirit magnetic field was like ice and fire, which could not be reconciled at all.

  At that moment, Meng Chao felt his skin turn into a thick and solid ice shell.

  His flesh and internal organs, on the other hand, had melted into magma that was getting hotter and hotter.

  Just now, spirit energy had been spurting out of his 36,000 pores with heat. Although he might be exposed, it had greatly eased the pressure in his body.

  Right then, his seven apertures and pores were all constricted to the maximum, and he was sealed by frost. The overwhelming destructive power in his body had nowhere to go. The temperature and pressure were getting increasingly high. It would not be long before he self-destructed!

  Meng Chao estimated that he could only hold on for thirty seconds at most.

  If he did not release the terrifying power of the double enhancement of Ultimate Burning and boiling dragon blood within thirty seconds, he would be possessed before he exploded.

  But he had no other choice.

  He could only pray in silence.

  Whether it was in his previous life or his current one, he had never had such a strong desire.

  He longed for “Lu Siya” to appear in front of him.

  It was as if he could feel his burning desire to lick the mudslide and make hissing sounds.

  Right then, “Lu Siya” came.

  First, dozens of mud dragons that were searching in the mudslide discovered the broken wood that contained Meng Chao’s blood.

  They mistook the broken wood for Meng Chao’s real body and immediately swept over from all directions.

  However, Meng Chao used his bone blade to entangle a branch of the broken wood. With the delicate manipulation of his muscles’ high-frequency vibrations, he allowed the broken wood to “swim” in the mudslide. Several times, he narrowly escaped the pursuit of the mud dragons.

  At this point, Meng Chao had been floating in the debris flow for more than ten seconds.

  Gradually, he was pushed to the place where the mountain was the steepest and the water was the most turbulent. Seven or eight debris flows gathered together, forming countless whirlpools.

  The changes of the water flow and the spirit magnetic environment there were unprecedentedly complicated.

  Even with Lu Siya’s control ability, she could barely maintain the mud dragon’s form. Plus, she could not make them accelerate and catch up to Meng Chao.

  She had to do it herself.

  “Plop!”


  Meng Chao vaguely heard the sound of a behemoth falling into the water not far away.

  Though nothing could be seen clearly in the maelstrom of mudslides and flash floods…


  He still vaguely perceived “Lu Siya’s appearance” through the scanning of her vitality magnetic field, .

  Her long green hair danced fiercely amid her fury.

  She looked like a snake-haired banshee from the legends.

  She seemed to ignore the interference of the torrents, mudslides, and whirlpools. With the help of hundreds of tentacles made of long hair and the mud dragon, she carried an indescribable aura of fear. She appeared on the broken wood stained with Meng Chao’s blood at lightning speed.

  “Crash!”


  The broken wood, which was as thick as a person’s arms, was instantly torn into pieces by her long hair.

  Realizing that she had been fooled again, Lu Siya’s anger rose to another level.

  “Now!”


  Unable to hold it in any longer, Meng Chao roared, and the 36,000 pores on his body exploded at the same time.

  Guided by the six dragon meridians, the explosive power surged crazily into the bone blade in his hand. That caused the entire spine of the Iron Sword Lizard to emit a golden sword light that could not be looked at directly.

  “Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash!”


  Meng Chao roared furiously with his brainwaves and a soul-stirring mental attack. It was like a war hammer hitting “Lu Siya’s brain.”


  The golden war saber cleaved through the waves and created a seven-to-eight-meter-long vacuum in the surging debris flow, slashing straight at “Lu Siya.”


  “Lu Siya’s eyes,” which were still as bright as red crystals in the dark, showed a hint of surprise at first. It was as if she did not expect Meng Chao to increase his combat strength to such a terrifying extent.

  However, a hint of disappointment soon followed, as though she was sighing about how Meng Chao was still too naive. He was only focused on attacking crazily with his head lowered, and he had never considered the durability of his weapon or the issue of his hit rate.

  As expected, the cracked bone blade could not possibly support Meng Chao’s Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash by burning it to the limit.

  As soon as the golden saber accelerated to its maximum speed in the mudslide, there was an explosion that broke the speed of sound. Cracking sounds then came from the spine of the Iron Sword Lizard.

  When it was three to five meters away from “Lu Siya,” the entire golden saber exploded.

  All of this was in “Lu Siya’s calculations.”


  Therefore, she did not defend against Meng Chao’s slash at all. Instead, she instantly twisted thousands of long green hair spirals together and condensed them into hundreds of sharp thorns. Taking advantage of the broken bone blade’s flaw, she tried to fiercely stab the vital points all over Meng Chao’s body.

  What happened next, however, made her eyes shine with disappointment again. It soon turned into an intense look of horror that was ten times more fearful than usual.

  Though the golden blade was broken…


  The debris was not swept away by the mudslides.

  Instead, they were attracted by the mysterious and complicated spirit tattoos that appeared on Meng Chao’s increasingly thick right arm, like dragon scales, flames, and circuit diagrams.

  Each crystallized vertebra was saturated in spirit energy, and each glowed with golden light like a broken star.

  Hundreds of broken stars gathered together and formed a burning, dazzling glove around Meng Chao’s fist, which was as hard as iron.
