Chapter 1414 Open and Honest
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Meng Chao could sense that after absorbing part of the Mother of Origin’s life essence, the Ancient Dream Saintess’ ability to create and transmit dreams greatly improved.
In terms of brain wave strength alone, this unremarkable rat girl seemed to be stronger than Meng Chao and the Wolf King.
However, Meng Chao also knew that the Ancient Dream Saintess would not awaken, at least not for now.
Perhaps, his childhood home, which had not been destroyed by the plague, was the best home for this tormented soul.
“Sleep well.”
Meng Chao smiled, his eyes flickering with a firm flame. “Leave the rest to us!”
He could sense the Ancient Dream Saintess’ smile in her dream grow sweeter and brighter.
She even seemed to bow to him slightly, thanking him for saving her life and helping her to keep this dream of eternal peace and happiness.
Plus, she would do everything in her power to share this dream with all the people in real life who were full of suffering and despair. That way, they could get a little warm comfort in the coldest night before
tomorrow…
Meng Chao heaved a long sigh of relief.
Then, he cast his sharp gaze toward the southeastern corner of the Mother of Origin’s laboratory.
There, deep within the collapsed rock stratum, a terrifying existence, whose spirit intensity was on par with his, was quietly being nurtured.
Stimulated by his vitality magnetic field, the terrifying existence had woken up from its deep sleep. It could not wait to break out of its sh.e.l.l, causing the crystal barrier around its body to emit a subtle cracking sound.
It was “Jackal” Ka.n.u.s.
No, perhaps he should be called “Doomsday Wolf” Ka.n.u.s.
Kacha kacha!
As sounds of the crystal shattering rang out, the mountain of collapsed rock layers suddenly seemed to be imposed with a mysterious anti-gravity field. Rocks of all sizes floated up unsteadily.
When they floated three to five meters above the ground, they appeared to be crushed by a pair of invisible giant claws, which ground them into dust that was even finer than sand.
Then, the dust caught fire and burned at a high speed, causing small-scale explosions.
Catalyzed by spirit energy, crimson flames that were as red as blood exploded.
The crimson flames seemed to have a life of their own as they bared their fangs and brandished their claws, dancing wildly.
The flames formed vivid, detailed jackals that stared at all the creatures in the underground ruins. They could not hide their desire to conquer everything. They wanted to suppress and control whatever they could see.
It was such a strong sense of oppression that the Lion King’s Horn of Destruction and Tiger King’s Violent Blade could not even compare.
Meanwhile, Ice Storm had absorbed part of the Mother of Origin’s life source.
After all, she had woken up much earlier than Meng Chao and the Wolf King. She had not been immersed in the soul-stirring and magnificent ancient battlefield for a long time. From her flesh and blood to her soul, she
had not endured the most intense tempering.
She gasped, partially from pain and partially from fear.
If Meng Chao had not held her up in time and poured a warm and firm power into her back from his palm, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Attracted by the surging spirit waves, the leopard poet, Ferdosi, who had returned to the laboratory from the working surface above the Mother of Origin’s laboratory, was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He
faced the direction where the flaming wolves had appeared, prostrating on the ground. He spread out his limbs and presented his head completely under the claws and teeth of the other party, expressing his most
complete submission and reverence.
“Wolf King, my Lord Wolf King, you have finally awakened!”
The leopard poet spoke in a trembling voice that was as magnificent and solemn as reciting a heroic epic.
Protected by the scarlet flaming wolves, the Wolf King slowly floated up into the air.
It was different from Meng Chao’s essence, which was restrained and returned to its original state.
The Wolf King had also absorbed a large amount of the Mother of Origin’s life essence. His strength, sharpness, callousness, and brutality were clearly written on his face and between his claws and teeth, which were
sharper than divine weapons. They were even written on every cl.u.s.ter of his fur that was raised high like red crystals, ready for combat.
At that moment, the Wolf King looked even more intimidating than a combination of the Horn of Destruction and Violent Blade. He was destined to control Picturesque Orchid Lake and even the entire world!
The Wolf King’s head did not move.
However, his gaze naturally scanned the entire collapsed laboratory.
Finally, it landed on Meng Chao.
ce Storm gasped even though she did not receive the Wolf King’s gaze.
However, just 1% of the aftershock that leaked out from the corner of the Wolf King’s eyes had set off a storm in her mind, almost causing her to lose the ability to breathe and circulate her heart.
Based on her understanding, the Wolf King was an enemy and not a friend.
ot only had the two sides engaged in a t.i.t-for-tat battle around the Ancient Dream Saintess’ life and death on the night that the Great Horn Army was completely annihilated.
Even in the Mother of Origin’s laboratory, the moment before the Mother of Origin exploded, the Wolf King and Meng Chao had also a.s.sumed the stance of mutual destruction.
ow, the Reaper had seemingly lost most of his power.
How could he be an opponent of the Wolf King, who had risen from the flames and increased the strength of his aura by tenfold?
ce Storm’s heart was In her throat.
Yet, Meng Chao was not burned to ashes by the Wolf King’s fiery gaze as she had been worried about.
n fact, his eyelashes did not even twitch.
Their gazes met in midair.
nan instant, Meng Chao read a large amount of information that spread out from the Wolf King’s body.
He estimated the Wolf King’s strength.
“It looks like we need to talk.”
Meng Chao, who seemed weak, spoke calmly before the wolf pack that was roaring with raging flames. “Introduce yourself to the other party.”
“That’s right.”
ce Storm and her father thought that Meng Chao had lost his mind due to fear, or else how could he dare talk to the terrifying existence in front of him, which was more powerful than the Horn of Destruction and
Violent Blade combined.
He would be torn into pieces smaller than a fingernail by the scarlet flaming wolf pack that filled the entire collapsed laboratory.
The terrifying existence that they did not dare look at directly revealed a smile that did not match the fierce flames around them. Instead, they shared the same thoughts as Meng Chao. “It’s time to talk and get to know
each other again.”
Before Ice Storm and her father’s stunned gazes, Meng Chao and the Wolf King placed their feet on steps that did not exist in the void and flew into the shaft that they had spent more than a month digging.
Their vitality magnetic fields seeped into the cracks around the shaft like mercury.
nstantly, the structure of the surrounding rock layers, the hardest and most vulnerable areas, and the distance between the rock layers and the ancient Turan s.p.a.ceship, the Hope, could be clearly distinguished.
Deep in their brains, they had deduced several sets of operation plans and calculated the workload as well as risk factors.
Even though Ice Storm and her father had been digging day and night for more than a month, they still had a long way to go before they could escape.
However, if they worked together with Meng Chao and the Wolf King, they would be able to open up the shaft that was blocked by the collapsed rock layer and return to the inner part of the Holy Mountain Temple,
which was also the Hope.
They would inherit everything that the ancient Turan people had left behind.
Both of them sighed in relief.
They turned their attention back to each other.
ce Storm and her father’s excavation tunnels were very narrow and cramped.
Their gazes were like two burning daggers, pressing against each other’s carotid artery and heart.
There was no room for evasion or concealment.
Even if one of them was slightly stronger than the other and seized the opportunity to kill the other, the other party was strong enough to stab two daggers deep into the attacker’s heart, spine, and brain before dying.
Therefore, they only had two choices left.
They could either be frank, work together, and find a way to escape, or both of them would suffer heavy losses and perish together, being buried together in the bottomless depths of the earth.
The two of them looked away at the same time.
The undercurrent surged, and the shaft that was about to collapse at any moment regained its peace and stability.
“So…” the Wolf King said, “Are you really “Doomsday Blade” Meng Chao?”
“What about you?” Meng Chao asked in return.
“Should I call you Jackal’ or ‘Doomsday Wolf?”
“T, 1 don’t know.”
The Wolf King’s face was full of confusion, “I was clear about who I was and what I wanted to do, and I firmly believed that I would succeed. As a reincarnated person who could foresee the future, how could I fail?
But you confused me.
clearly have unparalleled power and became the Doomsday Wolf that made the entire Holy Light Temple tremble, but I still couldn’t stop it and even accelerated the arrival of the apocalypse. How is this possible?”
n other words…”
Meng Chao said, “You still believe that you’ve been reincarnated, even now?”
“I can see the future. Many people and things that have appeared in my mottled and fragmented dreams can be matched with reality. I have also relied on this mysterious ability to evolve and rise at an unbelievable
speed. If this is not ‘rebirth,’ what else can it be?”
There was a glint in the Wolf King’s eyes as he gazed deeply at Meng Chao, “You also have the same ability as me. You’ve also mastered the martial arts of Dragon City from the future. You also clearly saw Dragon City
and Picturesque Orchid Lake, as well as how the millions of living creatures living in these two homes, were burned to ashes by the ten thousand suns that fell from the sky.
“Moreover, I can smell the aura of the Doomsday Blade on your body.
“When I first met you, you didn’t have such an aura on you.
“And I’ve never seen the Doomsday Blade take off his mask and reveal his real face in those dreams that felt like a lifetime ago.
“Therefore, I don’t know who you are exactly.
“But right now, the boundless killing intent that flows out of every pore of your body, soaked in mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and slaughterhouses of h.e.l.l, cannot be hidden from my senses no matter how you
disguise yourself with a harmless appearance.
“Even if I’m so powerful that I can’t believe it myself…
“When I’m with you, | still can’t control every cl.u.s.ter of nerve ending and every strand of muscle fiber of mine with my thoughts. Instead, driven by my survival instinct, I’m always on the highest alert.
“I won’t forget this feeling even if I have to live a hundred times.
“Aside from reincarnation, do you have a more reasonable explanation?”.
