Chapter 816: Total Collapse

Meng Chao knew that many invertebrate annelids possessed powerful regenerative abilities.

However, he did not expect that such an enormous ancient Sandworm could grow a new head at a speed visible to the naked eye.

No, it was not a new head..

The Crystal Hedgehogs spun and glimmered crazily as they shot beams of death rays at the ancient Sandworm, continuously blowing its head apart.

Yet, from the depths of its wounds, scarlet tendrils kept popping out, turning into brand-new heads and bloody mouths.

Every time the body exposed to the ground was blown apart, it would crawl out of the ground with new bodies.

It was as if the ancient Sandworm was several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers long, and the part exposed to the ground was only the tip of the iceberg.

Many military buildings had turned their cannons to deal with the ancient Sandworm that had emerged from the center of the city.

Since they were distracted, the firepower aimed at the defense line outside the city was naturally greatly weakened.

Facing the surging beast horde, the grim reaper’s scythe could no longer be waved.

Groups of monsters rushed to the front of the crystal shield like a hot knife through butter and crashed into it at the highest speed.

The crystal shield was on the verge of collapse. The spirit flames inside flickered, and crisscrossing cracks that looked like spider webs appeared on the surface.

The spider webs spread to every corner of the shield at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, a hole was punched in the center of a crystal shield by the suicide attacks of the monsters.

A large number of monsters poured into the ancient city through the hole and engaged in street battles with the Ancients.

Although they were quickly torn into pieces by the three-dimensional fire net formed by the floating military buildings, the ancient city was still in chaos.

However, they had successfully created chaos in the city and triggered a chain reaction, causing more and more crystal shields to be on the verge of collapse.

The Ancients could only change their strategy.

They no longer attacked the ancient Sandworm’s head.

Instead, they attacked the middle section near the ground.

As expected, after the spirit flames shot out and the mystic light flickered, the ancient Sandworm was cut in half from the middle.

The hundreds of meters long worm bodies crashed heavily onto the streets of the ancient city, raising a layer of crystal clear dust.

The lower half of the worm bodies also spurted out hundreds of meters tall, nearly transparent blood, and it spasmed as it retreated underground.

However, before the Ancients could even take a breath, a shocking change happened.

The upper half of the insect’s body that was hundreds of meters long did not die.

The wound trembled crazily. A large number of scarlet tentacles spurted out, and a new head grew out of it.

The two ends of the insect’s body opened their bloody mouths at the same time like a hungry two-headed dragon.

Not long after the lower half of the insect’s body retreated to the ground, it reappeared. Its wounds blossomed like a crab claw chrysanthemum. It was also a brand-new, more ferocious, and hungrier head!

As it turned out, the ancient Sandworms, like earthworms, had the ability to split into two and survive at the same time.

Now, the Ancients had to face two ancient Sandworms and three bloody mouths at the same time.

Aside from that, the ancient Sandworm, which seemed to be in pain from the middle and was deeply infuriated, finally displayed its second skill besides biting.

The three bloody mouths were opened to the maximum at the same time. Accompanied by a heart-palpitating “gulu gulu” sound, the seven inches below its head suddenly expanded and turned into a nearly transparent dark red color.

It spurted out three balls of stinky mucus.

The mucus was like a fishing net that was thrown out by the most brilliant fisherman. It spread out in midair and covered almost a thousand meters, encasing quite a few military buildings inside.

The surface of the military buildings that had been contaminated by the mucus was covered in countless bubbles, making “chi chi chi chi” sounds as if they had been corroded by strong acids.

They could no longer emit any dangerous brilliance.

They could not even maintain the crystal texture and the ability to float in the air.

Instead, they turned into dark, crisp, and heavy rocks that fell down like meteorites.

The crystal city that had been splendid before was now covered in dust and riddled with holes.

This was the last straw that crushed the camel.

The defense of the ancient city had finally broken through the critical point of collapse.

When the dozens of military buildings at the center of the city were all corroded and turned into rocks after exhausting their spirit energy in the battle with the ancient Sandworms, a crystal shield that was more than a hundred meters long and wide finally appeared on the city’s defense line. Then, the entire shield exploded.

The collapse was like a terrible plague that spread rapidly across the entire circular defense line.

Countless crystal shields exploded one after another like dominoes, exposing the unimpeded attack routes to the overwhelming beast horde.

The ancient city was finished.

It was like a warrior with four broken limbs and no armor. It could only wait for the arrival of destruction in despair.

The monsters, on the other hand, triggered their extremely excited brainwaves. They rubbed their tentacles, tusks, and blade limbs, dancing in the resonance of the slaughter.

Meng Chao felt the extremely intense desire to kill, conquer, and devour that originated from the ancient monsters. The feast that belonged to the victor was about to begin.

He also felt the panic and despair of the Ancients in the isolated city. It seemed that they had never imagined that the biological weapons that they had created and used as tools to build and protect their homes would grow to such an extent.

As a bystander who had read the memories billions of years later, Meng Chao was even more moved.

He was moved that both the Ancients and the mother had demonstrated technologies, numbers, and combat abilities that were far beyond the ability of the people on Earth today. It was even beyond their imagination.

The universe was everywhere. It had been the universe since ancient times.

There were simply too many secrets and powers hidden in the universe.

Whether it was Earth or the Other World, they were just a drop in the ocean in the endless sea of stars. It would be too narrow-minded and short-sighted for human beings to only focus on these two small planets.

Plus, if human beings focused on a higher level of the universe, they would be able to discover and inherit the power of the Ancients or the mother, even if it was only one-tenth of their power.

It would be enough to solve the imminent problem of “stopping the destruction of Dragon City.”

With three completely different and complicated feelings, Meng Chao continued to focus his attention on it.

He saw the huge black wave-like beast horde invading the ancient city from the ground and the sky from dozens of different directions at the same time.

It was like a beautiful crystal ball that had been contaminated by dozens of toxins.

Wherever the beast horde went, all the crystal buildings lost their brilliance and translucent texture. They turned into craters, dull, and brittle rocks. In the end, they could not even support their own weight, they fell, collapsed, and collapsed, turning into rubble and even sand.

He saw that some of the Ancients were still standing in the void, putting up their last resistance.

Their bodies were glittering like military buildings. Crystal thorns even grew out of the surface of their bodies that were covered in spirit tattoos.

With a wave of their hands, they shot out death rays, tearing thousands of monsters into pieces.

However, in front of the torrential beast horde that was gradually enveloping the entire city, such a struggle was futile.

The Ancients were soon drowned by the monsters one after another and wrapped into a solid “monster ball.”

Soon after, the “monster balls” exploded from the middle and turn into dazzling ball-shaped lightning bolts.

They were Ancients who knew that they were doomed. At the last moment, they detonated all the spirit energy in their bodies and demonstrated the dignity of a civilization with their lives.

Their heroic sacrifice bought more time for their compatriots to run away.

More and more civil buildings were flying toward the rainbow stairway at the center of the city.

Illuminated by the rainbow-like, seven-colored mystic rays, they became more and more transparent, as though ice had melted in the water.

It did not take long for the civil buildings that were full of Ancients to all disappear!

“They’ve transmigrated!”

Meng Chao’s thoughts raced as he immediately realized, “These civilian buildings should be the escape pods of the ancient civilization. When they realized that the city could not be defended, the Ancients used transmigration technology to transmigrate to other planets outside of the atmosphere!”

That made him wonder if a batch of Ancients had transmigrated to Earth in a panic during the war in the ancient era.

If that was the case, everything made sense.

However, not all Ancients were so lucky to escape in time.

The mother obviously realized that the Ancients were using transmigration technology to evacuate the entire city.

It immediately sent lightning-like commands to the beast horde through the wireless neural network.

Countless monsters instantly increased their speed and pounced toward the crystal building that had yet to evacuate. They clung tightly to the exterior of the building.

Then, the monsters self-detonated one after another.

Some of the monsters’ self-detonations released a large amount of highly corrosive acid that corroded the shell of the crystal building until it was riddled with holes.

The spirit tattoos that were used to construct the spirit magnetic field and ensure the buoyancy and propulsion force were naturally destroyed.

Some of the monsters self-detonated and turned into large fireballs. Their flames shot out in a certain direction, bringing with them a powerful force that pushed the crystal building far away from the rainbow stairway.

There were also some monsters that did not choose to self-detonate. Instead, they were connected from head to tail. Like a monkey fishing for the moon, they formed thick and powerful ropes of flesh and blood. One of them wound around the crystal buildings, while the other wound around the bodies of the super-large monsters that were hundreds of meters long on the ground.

Thousands of monsters were tugging at the escape capsules that were filled with Ancients, preventing them from entering the rainbow stairway.

Just like that, many crystal buildings were blown up or dragged to the ground by the monsters before they could reach the transmigration zone. Then, they were swallowed by the creeping tide of monsters.

There were also some crystal buildings that were in a stalemate with the monsters at the edge of the rainbow stairway.

In the end, they seemed to be split in two by an invisible giant blade. Half of them were transmigrated away, while the other half collapsed like flowers scattered by a goddess. The Ancients inside all flew out and fell into the bloody mouths of the ancient vicious beasts.
