Chapter 1319: The Final Test
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was like a spring bamboo shoot after a thunderstorm.
It grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, it grew into a three- or four-story-tall behemoth.
The liquid metal-like substance that had condensed into a “relief” was still surging toward it crazily.
It transformed into more tentacles, limbs, eyes, and claws. It spoke to the two people who were standing in front of it with their mouths agape and looked extremely tiny. The current height and ferocious posture were far from its limit.
When the enormous eyeb.a.l.l.s condensed from liquid-like metal substances were squeezed out of the wrinkles like ugly tumors and turned to Meng Chao in the end, they all turned to him.
The surface of the eyeb.a.l.l.s was still shining with a metallic l.u.s.ter, as if they were cold, dead objects.
Deep inside the eyeb.a.l.l.s, the pupils that looked like crystals were emitting the hunger-like killing intent unique to predators.
Tens of thousands of ‘gazes’pierced through Meng Chao’s brain like thousands of extremely destructive rays, causing the corners of his eyes to Twitch and his head to ache.
An extremely sharp voice appeared in his head.
It was as if a supreme G.o.d had ordered him to kneel down and worship the ‘Totem pillar’like the Tulan Orcs almost ten thousand years ago.
Meng Chao gritted his teeth.
His willpower was like two steel nails that nailed his spine and knee joints tightly. Only then was he able to barely resist this extremely strange statue.
“Don’t kneel!”
The Wolf King also received the same message. When he saw Meng Chao’s trembling back and legs, he was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. He said continuously like a cannonball.., “This is the last test before entering the temple of the sacred mountain. It is also a trap set by the ancestral spirit. Don’t kneel. Once you kneel down and worship it, it will tear you into pieces without hesitation!”
“Is that so?”
Meng Chao felt lucky.
Fortunately, his dignity as an earthling and his vigilance towards the “Mother”made him unwilling to bow to this strange statue.
Otherwise, at this moment, he would have already turned into fingernail-sized pieces.
“Then what should I do to pa.s.s the final Test?”Meng Chao asked with difficulty as he resisted the will emitted by the “Totem pillar”.
“Of course, we should use the method that the Tulan people are most accustomed to.”
A hint of determination flashed in the Wolf King’s eyes as he grinned, “We Tulan Beastmen are a race that pays the most attention to courage. No matter what kind of opponent we encounter, as long as they dare to block in front of us, even if they are a hundred times stronger than us, they will raise their battle sabers without hesitation — it is either a glorious victory or a glorious death!
“If they stop moving forward, raise their hands to surrender, or even worship us because the other party is the incarnation of the ancestral spirit, it will only disappoint the ancestral spirit. What right does such a coward have to enter the temple of the sacred mountain and receive the blessings of the ancestral spirit?
“Therefore, raising your sabers high and attacking the statue of the ‘Totem Pillar’with strength beyond the limit is the only way to enter the temple of the Sacred Mountain!”
Before he finished his words, the Wolf King’s six kills armor was covered in wolf fangs that were shining like red crystals. They all stood up, making his entire body expand.
The six kills Saber that was originally distributed on his arms turned into six streaks of b.l.o.o.d.y light and whistled out. They intersected, joined, and merged in midair, turning into an unparalleled, long, and narrow weapon.
The Wolf King wasn’t lying.
He really rose into the air and grabbed the saber in midair. With the help of the rolling and rotating power, he pushed the speed of the blade to its limit. It let out a sharp whistle that tore through the air, carrying with it a series of earth-shattering ripples, he slashed heavily at the statue of the totem pillar.
Only a “Chi”sound could be heard.
It was unknown whether it was because the statue of the totem pillar had just been condensed, and the liquid metal-like substance had yet to solidify.
The Wolf King’s blade actually cut seven to eight meters deep from top to bottom, almost splitting the ‘Totem pillar’from head to toe into two halves.
The ‘Totem pillar’cylindrical body was split into two from the middle, bending to the left and right respectively.
The tentacles, limbs, claws, teeth, and eyeb.a.l.l.s that grew on it were still trembling violently and dancing crazily, showing a scene that caused one’s spiritual index to instantly drop to zero and make one’s hair stand on end.
An ordinary person would probably go crazy after seeing such a weird and indescribable scene.
Even the Tulan Beastmen who enjoyed killing and took pride in death would feel their legs go weak when they saw such a scene. They couldn’t help but kneel on the ground.
However, Meng Chao had personally experienced the flames of the apocalypse burning his fellow countrymen until they were deformed and twisted into extremely hideous appearances.
He had also received the baptism of the spiritual storm of the monster’s main brain, which was the main body 01.
Perhaps, his absolute combat strength had not broken through to the G.o.dly state yet.
However, the toughness of his brain was already more terrifying than many apocalyptic beasts.
Meng Chao gritted his teeth and picked up the skull crusher.
His blood turned into spiritual flames and wound the heavy battle saber that was comparable to a giant axe in a circle.
One could not gain anything without venturing into the tiger’s den.
It did not matter what the mysterious force hidden in the depths of the temple of the sacred mountain was.
In order to crush the Apocalypse in the Nightmare, Meng Chao would summon all his courage, wisdom, will, and strength to fight it to the end and conquer it completely!
Shua
The two ‘Skull-crushers’, dragging two streams of magma, darted toward the statue of the ‘Totem Pillar’at lightning speed and pierced into the depths of the liquid metal-like material.
Under the impetus of the life magnetic field, Meng Chao’s destructive power was like a flood that broke through a dam, continuously blasting toward the statue of the totem pole.
Under the relentless bombardment of the two of them, the seemingly G.o.dlike, soul-stirring, and invincible totem pole statue was blown into pieces by them. It retreated step by step and roared like thunder.
However, along with the rhythm of the liquid metal-like substance, the emotions that were transmitted to Meng Chao and the Wolf King’s brain were not pain and anger, but relief and joy.
Meng Chao was slightly relieved.
He knew that he had made the right bet.
Since the “Jackal”ka.n.u.s in his previous life could successfully obtain the inheritance of the holy mountain and evolve into the “Doomsday Wolf,”.
Naturally, he wouldn’t fall outside the gate of the Sacred Mountain Temple.
However, Meng Chao still kept an eye out.
He didn’t display his “Strength beyond the limit”as the Wolf King had said.
No matter when, where, and what kind of opponent he faced, he had to remember to leave behind a trump card. This was Meng Chao in his previous life. With the strength of a mere one-star spiritual pattern realm.., the biggest reason why he was able to survive until the end of the world was because he had carried out countless dangerous a.s.sa.s.sination missions.
Meng Chao had only used 80% of his combat strength.
He had only activated five of the six dragon veins that had already been connected.
The most crucial one was the dragon vein that was wrapped around his spine and reached his brain. It was deeply hidden by him.
The strongest killing move he had mastered so far, the heavenly tyrant shattered star slash that was close to the “Ultimate”level, had also been firmly sealed by him.
He only used the upgraded demon subduing pestle to deal damage.
That was enough.
After more than half a minute of indiscriminate bombardment, the statue of the “Totem pillar”was blasted into pieces.
However, this was a piece of mud that emitted a metallic l.u.s.ter and seemed to have a life of its own. It continuously emitted “Hiss hiss”and “Squeak”sounds.
The metal mud squirmed and surged towards Meng Chao and the Wolf King’s feet.
Meng Chao felt a little scared.
The Wolf King waved his hand to signal for him to be patient.
The metal mud wrapped their totem battle armors and their flesh and blood bodies inside. It was like two giant coc.o.o.ns, but it also seemed to trap the two of them in the depths of a swamp made of liquid metal.
Meng Chao felt that he had been “Swallowed”by the sacred mountain temple into his stomach.
It was also like riding an extremely fast elevator toward the depths of the Earth’s core, falling at lightning speed.
After an unknown amount of time.
His body trembled slightly.
The liquid metal that had just wrapped him was like a man-eating flower that had split into seven or eight petals and was slowly blooming.
Meng Chao gently moved his wrists and ankles. He also sensed that spiritual energy was circulating around his limbs and bones like lightning, circulating round and round. He also recited the multiplication table to make sure that his cells and spirit were unharmed, only then did he heave a sigh of relief. He looked around with half curiosity and half vigilance.
The world around him had changed.
The magical storm above his head and the giant hole that led directly to the ground had all disappeared.
The black fog that could swallow all light and the ‘relief sculpture’under his feet had also been replaced by a layer of gray fog that was so thin that it almost did not exist.
Looking through the thin fog, Meng Chao was extremely surprised to find that he seemed to have returned to the ground and was standing in the middle of a vast and boundless field.
Wild gra.s.s as tall as a man was growing around him. With the gentle breeze caressing him, it formed rows of ripples that looked like ocean waves, making a pleasant rustling sound.
Even the Tulan Beastmen who loved killing the most would feel relaxed and happy in such a peaceful environment.
However, when Meng Chao turned his gaze slightly and looked in another direction, he immediately discovered a flaw.
The so-called “Vast and boundless wilderness”only existed in a small area to his left.
There was no transition next to the wilderness. There was only a mountain that rose up and down abruptly, like a giant tusk that pierced through the clouds.
The mountain that should have been rolling up and down, for some unknown reason, was stuck closely to a magnificent city.
The center of the magnificent city was filled with black holes. It was as if a mysterious force had hollowed out a few pieces.
Beside the city was a bottomless cliff. One could vaguely hear the deafening sound of the rushing river.
No matter how stupid an architect was, it was impossible to build a city on a cliff.
Similarly, there was no reason for the sudden rise of a mountain to be closely integrated with the city.
The world was in complete chaos. It was as if different landforms, whether natural or man-made, were all simply and brutally integrated together.
Even the sky was the same.
When Meng Chao looked up, he saw two huge suns hanging high on both sides of the sky in the direction of his left and right hands.
