Chapter 337: The Ruined Earth

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The Earth was dying, and it kept dying faster and faster.

The gold, silver, iron, and other heavy metals in the Earth’s core had all been spewed out by the gigantic volcano. The appearance of the magnetic field on the Earth’s surface had been caused by the movement of the iron in the Earth’s core. Now that the iron had been spewed out, the magnetic field on the Earth’s surface had been weakening.

The weakening of the magnetic field rendered the Earth unable to resist the solar storm anymore. The atmosphere was blown away, and the sea started to dry up faster. Before long, the Earth would become as devastated as Mars.

That was what the Atlanteans had done. They had destroyed the planet to kill the Mythical giant snake, a giant snake without a name, a giant snake that had broken through the game barrier and reached reality.

Wei Huo did not believe that it was really dead. The gluttonous snake’s life was more exciting than anyone else’s. It had experienced countless hardships and setbacks, it had broken the world barrier twice, and perhaps it could break it a third time.

The Earth Core started to cool down. A large amount of thermal energy was emitted from the volcanic crater, which was half the size of the Eurasian continent, and spread into the cold universe. To this universe, the eruption of the Earth Core was just a matchstick in the cold night. Before long, it would be extinguished.

This earth-shattering calamity was over. Wei Huo got back his physical body and arrived above the gigantic volcano. He could still feel scorching heat there, but it was dissipating rapidly.

The Earth was still spinning on its own. Although its rotation speed had decreased, the cooling of the Earth Core could not stop the Earth from spinning. Now, the volcano’s mouth had turned to the back of the Earth. However, because the Earth’s magnetic field was weak and the atmosphere had been blown away by the solar wind, cold had suddenly descended.

The bottom of the volcano suddenly started freezing, and the low temperature attacked the back of the Earth. Without the illumination of the sun, this place would become a dead land. However, the volcano’s mouth was still emitting heat. The energy in the core had not been fully released. After most of the energy had been released, a portion of the energy had been preserved due to the reduced pressure.

It might take this energy millions of years to be completely exhausted. That was why the volcano was still emitting heat.

That was something worth being happy about. As long as one was near the volcano, one would not have to worry about freezing to death at night.

Wei Huo landed on the edge of the volcano. The volcano was like a gigantic chimney. It was huge, as it was over 30 kilometers tall and over 1,900 kilometers in diameter. It was far larger than the largest volcano on Mars.

Even in outer space, one could see the gigantic eye-like volcanic crater. The pupil of this eye was still scorching red, and it would take millions of years to extinguish it.

However, there was one more thing to be happy about. There was still a mountain on Earth. This mountain was the Heaven Ascension Peak, a mountain in four-dimensional space. Because the Heaven Ascension Peak was in the four-dimensional space, it did not follow the principles of perspective. It ignored the Rules of Near Big, Far Small. No matter how far one was, the mountain one saw was huge.

In reality, Wei Huo had been to the Heaven Ascension Peak in the past 50 years. The Heaven Ascension Peak was not very tall, but there had been some changes after the light had entered and exited the mountain due to the four-dimensional barrier.

Wei Huo stood at the mouth of the volcano and looked at the Heaven Ascension Peak. The mountain was still as tall as ever. The four-dimensional barrier protected it from all attacks.

That was the gathering place of the Marginalized Alliance. Although Wei Huo had been there, he had only seen it from afar. He could not enter the four-dimensional barrier. Even peak Legendary creatures could not enter it. Phantom Bodies could not enter it either, as Wei Huo was a three-dimensional creature. He could not pass through the four-dimensional barrier without a suitable method and passage.

That was why no one knew the secret of the Heaven Ascension Peak.

Wei Huo had once guessed that there was a huge alternate world behind the four-dimensional barrier. The Heaven Ascension Peak was only the entrance to that alternate world. However, he could not enter before reaching the Mythical stage. The four-dimensional barrier was terrifying. Any matter or spirit that came into contact with it would be quietly destroyed.

Wei Huo had once experimented with a Legendary weapon. However, the moment he had touched the four-dimensional barrier, the Legendary weapon had been distorted and stretched by a weird force. It was as if a stick had stretched out a piece of paper.

That was why Wei Huo would not go to the Heaven Ascension Peak before he became a Mythical creature.

Now, he was guarding the mouth of the volcano. He carefully comprehended the images of the planet’s death that he had observed during this period. It was a rare sight. In fact, no one would be able to watch the planet’s death at such a close distance like he had. If he comprehended this scene, he might be able to comprehend the Rules of Death.

Wei Huo sat down with his legs crossed and comprehended it carefully. He no longer needed to eat at the peak of the Legendary stage. He could withstand such harsh environments. Even if a violent asteroid hit him, he could turn into a Phantom Body to avoid it.

In reality, after the Earth Core energy was released, although the earthquake’s power decreased, the number of times the asteroid hit the Earth increased.

The magnetic field was weaker, and the atmosphere was thin. When meteors fell, they would not self-destruct because they rubbed against the atmosphere. Therefore, many small asteroids floating in the universe collided with Earth one after another. In an instant, ring-like craters of various sizes appeared on Earth.

Wei Huo ignored the meteorites and studied the images of the planet’s death carefully. A year later, a fleet appeared on the horizon. It was composed of silver-white fan-shaped ships. The largest ship was comparable to a continent.

This fleet of spacecraft stopped in Earth’s orbit. Then, a few small silver-white fan-shaped spacecraft descended from the sky. These spacecraft stopped at the foot of the volcano. Then, soldiers in armor walked down from them.

Wei Huo had already discovered them. Upon seeing the ships, he thought of the ship and the assault armor he had found on the snowy mountain. However, at the time, they had called themselves the sanctuary civilization, and this fleet should be the fleet of the Atlanteans.

They had finally arrived. After 53 and a half years, they had arrived on this dying planet. Everything had been orchestrated by them. Now, they were there to reap the fruits of their labor.

However, Wei Huo’s existence made them extremely vigilant. The aura of the peak of the Legendary stage spread across every corner of the volcano. A few Rare-ranked soldiers knelt on the ground after taking a few steps. Even with Heart Protection Helmets, they could not resist the aura of the peak of the Legendary stage. This aura was too terrifying.

At that moment, three Legendary Atlanteans disembarked. They were very young, and the leader was a late-stage Legendary creature. They could not withstand this powerful aura either. However, for the sake of the giant snake’s corpse and the Phantom Staff, they had to bite the bullet and go up the mountain.

Nevertheless, they knew very well that the peak of the Legendary stage emitted such an aura. It was obvious that Wei Huo would not give them a chance to enter the volcano. They did not have a temper when facing Wei Huo, who was at the peak of the Legendary stage. After all, their race had yet to produce a peak Legendary creature!

“Leader? Are we really going up the mountain?” a Legendary Atlantean asked.

The leader said, “We have to go up the mountain. We Atlanteans have been waiting for this day for 10,000 years!”
