“Is this… the Demon Subduing Pole?”


  When she scanned the complicated and octagonal spirit tattoos surrounding the Shattered Star Gloves, “Lu Siya” could not believe her eyes.

  It was a fist technique that could not be more basic.

  It was also a move that she had never expected Meng Chao to use in a life-and-death battle.

  However, martial arts was simple.

  The most basic was often the most effective.

  It also meant that it was used by the most people, with the most detailed tutorials and tens of thousands of cultivation and battle videos.

  Countless people were learning, thinking, researching, communicating, improving, and perfecting it.

  The punch had reached the limits of a human’s bare-handed attack.

  What Meng Chao wanted to do was to exceed those limits!

  At that moment, a hundred explosions seemed occur in the depths of his brain at the same time.

  Raging tornadoes swept through every sulcus of his brain and swept billions of brain cells into the air.

  Under such circumstances, he could not think.

  Just the restriction of the three incompatible spirit magnetic fields and the fact that they did not tear his body apart had exhausted all of his thoughts and control.

  It was impossible for him to manipulate his spirit meridians and spirit energy and perform Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash, as well as any advanced skills.

  The only way was to integrate his blood into the most basic martial arts.

  The only way was to receive the inheritance from old Principal Sun of Ninth High School before he awakened his extraordinary strength.

  The only way was to turn his entire arm into a shining torch to dispel the darkness and illuminate the path of countless people……

  Demon Subduing Pole!

  “Eat my pole, you monster!”


  The sound waves from Meng Chao’s mouth shattered and pushed away the debris in front of him. Like a cluster of shock waves, they landed heavily on “Lu Siya”‘s face.

  “Lu Siya”had been controlling hundreds of spikes made of her long hair to stab at Meng Chao’s vital parts.

  However, her attention was first attracted by Meng Chao’s bulging golden right arm. Then, she was distracted by the incoming shock waves. Most of the spikes missed her vital parts and only pierced half an inch into Meng Chao’s iron-like skin.

  For Meng Chao, who was in the state of Ultimate Burning, such a little pain did not cause any disturbance. Instead, it made him even more excited.

  His golden right arm raised a golden torrent and dashed forward crazily in the mudslide. It was still half a meter away from “Lu Siya’s chest.”


  The vertebrae of the Iron Sword Lizards, which contained violent spiritual energy, had all become crystal clear and glittering like translucent hammers.

  The surprise on “Lu Siya’s face” turned into fear.

  For the first time, she had an unbelievable thought—she might fail, or even be killed by Meng Chao.

  Even if both sides suffered heavy injuries, she did not want to see it.

  After all, the mudslide was rushing down the Mist Mountain.

  If both sides were seriously injured and rushed down the mountain, Meng Chao would certainly receive the support of a Deity Realm powerhouse and the most perfect medical care.

  However, her current form was not suitable for anyone to see.

  Therefore, she had no choice but to give up on attacking. She withdrew hundreds of sharp thorns and turned her hair, which was as hard as iron, back into soft black hair that twirled around her fingers. Then, she wove a dense shield in front of her.

  Although each shield was as thin as a cicada’s wings.

  However, there were dozens of shields stacked on top of each other within half a meter. Each shield used a unique three-dimensional geometric weaving method that could absorb extremely violent spirit energy. Even the close-range shooting of a railway gun could not penetrate it.

  Unfortunately, Meng Chao’s Demon Subduing Pole was not a railway gun.

  The railway gun was just a cold, dead object.

  However, this punch was a gamble of Meng Chao’s emotions, Will, soul, home, and future.

  It was a gamble of everything that Meng Chao had!

  Boom!

  The Demon Subduing Pole, which had been enhanced by the Shattered Star Gloves, hit the center of Lu Siya’s indigo shield heavily.

  As the golden flames tore crazily, the first, second, and third shields were burnt to ashes the moment they touched each other.

  The fourth, fifth, and sixth shields did not last long either. They were torn apart and turned into ashes while screaming miserably.

  The seventh, eighth, and ninth shields were torn apart by Lu Siya when she realized that something bad was going to happen. Meng Chao’s fist was a hundred times more powerful than she had expected, they tried to slow him down, but they were torn apart by the Shattered Star Gloves.

  It was not until the tenth shield that Meng Chao’s fist was slightly blocked. The two sides were in a stalemate for a few seconds.

  “Lu Siya’s” thousands of black hair rushed toward Meng Chao’s fist, trying to absorb the terrifying power that was attached to his fist like a bloodsucking bug.

  However, Meng Chao’s shattered star glove split into countless pieces of stars and spun crazily around the golden Demon Subduing Pole to increase its penetrability.

  Just like that, Meng Chao broke through the shields one by one.

  It was only on the last three sides that Lu Siya managed to block his attack.

  “Hu… Hu…”


  The two sides were very close.

  “Lu Siya’s face” seemed to have been ignited by the flames that seeped out from the gaps between Meng Chao’s fingers. It was so red that blood was about to drip out.

  She panted heavily. Her face was filled with the anger of being violated and the joy of being about to take revenge.

  However, Meng Chao’s attack was not over yet.

  Don’t forget, besides Ultimate Burning, Meng Chao also had Divine Nine Dragon Seals!

  Accompanied by the six dragon meridians around him, deafening roars of tigers and dragons were echoing at the same time.

  Cracking noises were echoing inside every bone in Meng Chao’s body.

  Spirit energy burst out like a flood, and a volcano erupted. On his golden right arm, one, two, three, four, five, and a total of six intimidating golden dragons were condensed!

  The six crystal dragons roared behind the Demon Subduing Pole.

  Like six dazzling flames, they pushed the rocket to break through the atmosphere and dash toward the stars and the universe without looking back.

  The last three black shields were all broken through by the “rocket” in an instant.

  Boom!

  Meng Chao’s burning golden right arm brutally tore apart the armor made of the green carpet on “Lu Siya’s chest.”


  “Ahhhhhhhhh!”


  Meng Chao was burning at his limit. He gathered his past, present, and even future power together and shot out like magma that had been confined by high temperature and pressure in the depths of the Earth’s crust for billions of years.

  “Lu Siya” shrieked in disbelief.

  She curled up from the tips of her hair to her toes.

  The glittering Demon Subduing Pole penetrated into her chest and stabbed out from her back as if it had nailed her to Meng Chao’s body.

  Not only that, the fiercest and purest spirit energy that originated from Meng Chao’s body was also washing away the evil energy inside her body like golden flames.

  As “Lu Siya” convulsed violently, the Green Tide and Blood Flowers condensed into one, and the armor that covered her body disintegrated and melted.

  As if she had been greatly stimulated and frightened, she fought to escape from her body.

  For a moment, her blood-red, crystal-like eyes regained their clear black color.

  The real Lu Siya’s expression appeared on her face again.

  It was an expression of shame, praise, surprise, happiness, worry, ambition, fear, hope, and despair.

  “Sister Ya!”


  Meng Chao was overjoyed.

  He knew that Lu Siya’s soul wouldn’t be devoured so easily by the monster mastermind.

  She was the Queen Bee!

  But at this time, Meng Chao’s Ultimate Burning and Divine Nine Dragon Seals were also unleashed to their limits.

  Just like a rocket that had just broken through the atmosphere, the fuel was burned to the point that not a single drop was left, and it was once again entangled by gravity.

  The opponent was very keen to grasp his weakness.

  The Green Tide and Blood Flowers made a comeback.

  When they gathered together and absorbed enough water, the black hair that had expanded dozens of times like vines and tentacles ruthlessly pierced into the mountain rocks deep within the mudslide. With a forceful tug, they separated Lu Siya and Meng Chao and dragged them into the depths of the darkness.

  An endless stream of Green Tide and Blood Flowers pounced on them like moths pouncing on a flame, throwing them at the golden flame that Meng Chao had implanted into Lu Siya’s body.

  The last wisp of flame struggled stubbornly for a few seconds before it was extinguished by the power from the ancient era.

  The Green Tide and Blood Flowers once again transformed into layers of armor.

  This time, the armor was thicker, denser, and more gorgeous.

  It not only covered every inch of Lu Siya’s exposed skin…


  It also transformed into an ice-cold mask and a distorted helmet that covered her entire face.

  The mask and the helmet were flawless.

  Only two transparent holes could be seen on her eyes.

  However, through the holes, one could see that Lu Siya’s eyes had turned into crystal-clear blood diamonds again in just a few seconds!

  She had turned into “Lu Siya” again!

  Meng Chao’s heart had fallen into an endless ice hole.

  After using Ultimate Burning, there would be a long period of cooling down and weakening.

  The pain that he had been in a state of extreme excitement and didn’t care about at all had all increased tenfold, causing him to suffer a backlash.

  He was in so much pain that even his tailbone was twitching.

  He was just one step away.

  He would be able to explode the power of the monster mastermind and awaken the real Lu Siya!

  But now wasn’t the time to feel sorry for himself.

  At least he had achieved his original tactical goal of severely injuring the enemy and increasing the distance between him and the enemy.

  Meng Chao did not believe that “Lu Siya” would be able to withstand his maximum damage without suffering any damage.

  At the very least, the real Lu Siya had been awakened by him. It would still take some time for this monster to completely control Lu Siya’s body.

  He hoped that Lu Siya would be able to slow down this monster so that he could follow the debris flow and escape!

  Meng Chao endured the burning flames all over his body and the pain of his bones being shattered. He stomped heavily on the rocks at the bottom of the debris flow and turned into an arrow that left the bow as he rushed down the god of fog mountain.

  In order to pursue the fastest speed, he did not have the time to dodge the debris and broken wood in the debris flow.

  He did not even slow down when he passed through every bend created by the flood. Instead, he narrowly missed the rock that was as hard as iron.

  Many of the rocks had been sharpened by the flood and the mudslide.

  If he was not careful, he would be wounded dozens of centimeters long and bleeding.

  But Meng Chao could not care less.

  He expanded his vitality magnetic field, which was getting more and more chaotic, to the maximum, but he only cared about the back and the front.

  In the back, “Lu Siya” turned into a snake-haired banshee again and chased after him with astonishing fury.

  In the front, the foot of the mountain was in sight. Through the torrential rain, one could almost see the flickering lights on the dark horizon.

  That was the human camp!

  Chapter 893 - A Battle of Life and Death at the Underground River!

  If there were Deity Realm fighters stationed near the sinkhole…


  They would definitely be able to sense the fierce battle between Meng Chao and “Lu Siya” the moment it commenced.

  Unfortunately, most of the Deity Realm fighters were holding a Deity Realm Conference in the main city.

  In order to avoid the extreme weather changes in the Hidden Mist Domain, interfere with the vitality magnetic field, and affect the cultivation of superhumans, there were only a few experts who were still on duty near the sinkhole.

  They were also immersed in the joy of victory, and their vigilance was lowered to the lowest point.

  Now was the darkest moment before dawn.

  It was also the moment when the torrential rain was the most torrential, the thunder was the most violent, and the chaotic spirit energy contained in heaven and earth was like a cornered beast fighting, releasing its final strength.

  Whether it was the drones and detectors condensed with ancient runes and the crystallization of Earth’s technology.

  Or the life magnetic field of a peak heavenly state expert.

  They were unable to pass through the airtight curtain of rain and sense the soul-stirring battle hundreds of meters away.

  But Meng Chao knew that in order to guide the debris flow pouring down from Mist Mountain.

  Humans had dug many diversion channels around Mist Mountain in advance.

  Beside the diversion channels, there were people on duty 24 hours a day to observe the water level of the flood and the momentum of the debris flow. If the water level was too high and the momentum was too strong, they would detonate the temporary sluice gates and dams, expanding the diversion channels, eventually, it would lead to the source of the Red Dragon River.

  Therefore, as long as they went downstream, they would definitely be discovered by the people on duty.

  Between the people on duty and the camp, they would communicate with each other through the rubber-wrapped, fist-sized crystal cables. They would not be disturbed by the extreme weather and the violent spirit energy.

  In the worst case, if the people on duty did not discover his existence, he would be washed all the way into the Red Dragon River and then drift to the main part of Dragon City. He would be discovered and salvaged by the patrol boats, fishing boats, and armored airships that had been patrolling the river all year round.

  This was also an acceptable option.

  Therefore, Meng Chao no longer floated up. Instead, he suddenly dived into the depths of the mudslide. Like a big fish that had been stimulated by electric currents, he swung wildly and advanced rapidly.

  “Lu Siya” had figured out his intention.

  She let out an angry screech behind him.

  However, no matter how she waved her tentacles, she could not catch a single hair of Meng Chao.

  It was too late to say anything. Meng Chao had already flown straight down and was swept to the foot of Mist mountain by the debris flow.

  Only then did he spread his limbs and spurt out balls of powerful spirit energy from his palms and soles in an attempt to surface and shout loudly.

  However…


  An inexplicable suction force suddenly came from below him. It was like an invisible tentacle that tightly wrapped around his chest and abdomen.

  Not only did he choke, he choked.

  And dragged him again to the deepest part of the mudslide.

  It was Lu Siya’s mud dragon.

  This monster, it would not give up!

  Meng Chao gritted his teeth and endured the pain of his bones shattering, his cells breaking down and his soul burning.

  As if pulling out the valve core, with the naked eye of the speed of atrophy down the arms, once again ignited the wind and thunder of the flame.

  With hundreds of heavy punches, the mud dragon that was wrapping around him was smashed into pieces.

  The attack had exhausted his last bit of strength.

  He could not even attach his spirit energy to the mucous membranes and alveoli of his nose to filter and absorb the oxygen in the flood.

  Both of his lungs had shrunk to the size of dried apples. Every time he breathed, his nasal cavity seemed to have been punched brutally. From his trachea to his lungs, they were filled with cold mud, which made him feel the pain of suffocation.

  Meng Chao had a pained expression on his face. He let out a soundless cry from the depths of the mudslide. He leaped up, wanting to jump out of the water.

  However, his head crashed heavily into the rock wall that was as hard as iron. His entire body was bounced back, and he was once again sucked into the whirlpool of the mudslide.

  “How is this possible?”


  Meng Chao turned pale with fright.

  He had clearly been swept to the foot of Mist Mountain by the mudslide. He should be surrounded by the valley at the bottom of the sinkhole.

  Why was it that there were no crevices above his head or around him, and there was no light at all.

  Even the lights of the campsite, which had been flickering on the horizon just now, had been completely swallowed by darkness!

  It was the underground river

  Meng Chao thought quickly and immediately realized what was going on.

  Perhaps it was because of the hibernation and growth of the mother from the ancient era, or perhaps it was because of the chaotic spirit energy that was spreading out from the crystal veins, under the grounds of the Hidden Mist Domain… the underground of the Hidden Mist Domain was filled with dense, interlocking, labyrinth-like crevices and karst caves.

  During the dry season, the crevices and karst caves were man-eating demonic caves.

  Even the elite teams of experienced prospectors with the most advanced exploration equipment were still likely to be lost in the depths of the underground caves until they were discovered by the lost ones decades later, turning into piles of bones.

  During the rainy season, when the rain poured in, the underground crevices would turn into underground rivers again.

  Most of the underground rivers were dead ends, as if they were the entrance to Hell.

  Only a few underground rivers were connected to the Red Dragon River and the Raging Tiger River through the meandering crevices.

  The problem was that these crevices were often extremely narrow. Even snakes, insects, rats, and ants had to scratch their bodies to get through them. It was simply impossible for humans to pass through.

  Meng Chao refused to believe it. He dashed left and right several times, but he was hit by a wall everywhere.

  He must have missed the entrance to the underground river and been swept deep underground by the mudslide.

  The entrance was behind him.

  So was “Lu Siya.”


  Sensing the snickering of the snake-haired banshee behind him, Meng Chao realized that the banshee must have controlled the direction of the mudslide and pushed him underground.

  He had no other choice but to endure the pain of his lungs exploding one by one and continue moving forward.

  Finally…


  Deep in the underground river, the stalagmites and the stone pillars had collided countless times and almost spat out the last mouthful of blood.

  Before his lungs were compressed to the size of a ping-pong ball, Meng Chao emerged from the water.

  He panted desperately.

  Mud spurted out of his ears, nostrils, and mouth.

  Even though the air underground was decaying as well.

  To him, who was living and dying, he was not stingy with the sweetest spring water. Through his lungs, it flowed slowly through his internal organs, limbs, and bones.

  Meng Chao used his hands and feet to struggle ashore. He sprawled on the ground and enjoyed the last moment of peace before he fell into hell.

  The weak magnetic field of life was like a candle in the wind. It was emitting dim light and slowly scanning the surroundings.

  He realized that he was not, and it was impossible for him to escape.

  This place was still underground.

  However, it was just a karst cave with a relatively large space.

  The entire karst cave was about half the size of a football field.

  The mudslide had just been guided by “Lu Siya” and surged toward the karst cave through the crevices underground. It had not been completely submerged yet.

  However, judging from the rising tide, it was only a matter of time before the whole place was submerged.

  Meng Chao had been standing on a high platform in the karst cave. It was like an extremely thick stalagmite that had been cut off.

  However, it had become an isolated island under the siege of the flood.

  Moreover, as the mudslide swallowed it, the isolated island became smaller and smaller. Soon, it was only left with a standing cone.

  He had no choice but to curl up and watch his feet sink inch by inch into the dark mud.

  Meng Chao tried his best to release the magnetic field of life, trying to find a way out above the cave—even if it was a gap as thick as a finger.

  However, whether it was the almost frozen air or the 100% feedback of the sound after he screamed desperately, including the glimmer of light that he could not find no matter how he rubbed his eyes and activated his super vision, all told him a cruel truth.

  There was no road ahead.

  This was the land of death.

  The sound of flowing water came from behind him.

  “Lu Siya” slowly emerged from the dark swamp and floated in front of Meng Chao.

  If it was said that she, who had been possessed by the main brain of the monster in the beginning, was allowed to release a trace of her true feelings, when she faced Meng Chao, she seemed to be playing a game of cat and mouse.

  Now, every inch of his skin was covered with Green Tide and Blood Flowers. Even his face was covered with an extremely evil mask, as if it was made of bronze, and his crystal eyes, as red as blood, revealed only an inhuman coldness.

  “Lu Siya” no longer had a human will. She had completely become the tool of ancient power.

  “Hiss, hiss, hiss!”


  The green armor wrapped around her body disintegrated slightly.

  The tips of the disintegrated vines split apart like crab-claw chrysanthemums. They opened more than ten bloody mouths and roared at Meng Chao in hunger.

  It was as if more than ten man-eating flowers had grown out of “Lu Siya’s body.”


  “Pah!”


  Meng Chao did not even look at the man-eating flowers.

  He spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood and sand.

  His fists, which were trembling slightly, were clenched again.

  His arms, which were covered in wounds, were once again emitting crimson steam because of the boiling blood.

  Even if he was burned into a dried corpse by the boiling blood.

  Even if the dried corpse burst into flames and turned into ashes on the spot.

  Meng Chao swore that he would fight to the end on the journey to reverse the future!

  “Lu Siya” narrowed her eyes.

  Her scarlet eyes were full of confusion.

  It seemed that even the wisdom from the ancient era could not understand it. Meng Chao had been forced into such a desperate situation. What reason did he have to resist stubbornly?

  She quickly evaluated Meng Chao’s value and will to resist.

  She withdrew the man-eating flower and snapped her fingers.

  Above the cave, a stalactite as sharp as the tusks of a doomsday beast was growing longer and longer. It was shaking crazily, and cracking sounds could be heard from its roots, which were about to be blown out at any moment.

  Meng Chao’s swollen and scalding throat could no longer make any sound.

  The light in his eyes, which looked like an erupting volcano, replaced his throat and fists and issued the final battle cry.

  “Crack!”


  The stalactite’s root finally shattered.

  Like a thick spear, it flew toward Meng Chao at lightning speed.

  Meng Chao closed his eyes and swung his final blow.

  “Puchi!”


  The sound of flesh and blood being pierced through by the stalactite tore at his eardrums.

  However, the anticipated pain of having his arm or chest pierced through did not come for a long time.

  Meng Chao’s punch missed and lost his balance. He almost fell to the ground.

  He opened his eyes in surprise and saw an unbelievable scene.

  The stalactite that should have pierced through him had pierced through Lu Siya’s armor and scapula from above and nailed the jungle banshee to the wall of the cave!
