Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 336
Chapter 336: Earth Is Dead
The end of the Earth was finally coming. At first, the temperature on the ground just started rising, and something was wrong with the Earth’s magnetic field.
The diplomat controlled by the Empress tugged at his clothes. “It’s so hot!”
Wei Huo said, “Earth is about to be destroyed. You guys should leave.”
Wei Huo stood up and looked southwest.
The Empress asked, “Aren’t you leaving?”
Wei Huo said, “This is a rare opportunity. I want to observe Earth’s destruction and comprehend the Rules of Death.”
Wei Huo’s willpower was firm, and his goal was clear. He was destined to walk this path. Nothing could change him. He did not feel lonely at all as he walked this path. He was not confused in any way.
However, to outsiders, Wei Huo seemed really lonely. They would even feel lonely themselves when they saw him. The Empress thought of herself and suddenly felt that all the living creatures in the world were the same. Everyone had to move forward alone.
She sighed and ordered, “Evacuate the entire race and leave Earth!”
Wei Huo took a step forward and reached his maximum speed. A few minutes later, he arrived at the location of the energy leakage outlet. The ocean had turned into a pot of boiling water. The surface of the sea had started boiling, and endless steam was emitted. There were no fish or prawns nearby. The creatures in the sea had gotten far away from this place before the disaster. They had all felt the magnetic field.
Wei Huo was in a steaming area that had turned into a hell filled with steam. If he brought a few buns over, they would probably be cooked immediately.
Wei Huo started calling the snake, but unfortunately, the snake did not respond to his call.
He then dived into the boiling sea and kept diving. The deeper he went, the higher the temperature became. There was also a terrifying Earth Core energy. This energy was scary, and the stones around the outlet had all turned into dust.
Wei Huo dived for tens of thousands of meters and turned into a Phantom. Otherwise, the energy would have torn him apart.
Wei Huo had already comprehended the Phantom Body. To transform into a Phantom Body, one needed a state of mind that would cooperate with it. This realm required one to sever one’s connection with the world and isolate oneself from it. However, one would not be separated from the world. If one could not reach this realm, one would not be able to enter the Void Spirit Body.
It was difficult for ordinary people to reach this realm. Even if they did, they would not be able to maintain it. However, Wei Huo could do it easily because his spirit was too strong. The peak of the Legendary stage was enough to maintain this state of mind.
Wei Huo continued diving. In the end, he finally saw the giant snake blocking the vent. However, the giant snake had already turned into a corpse. Wei Huo could not feel any spiritual waves coming from the giant snake. It was dead.
Could a Mythical creature die? Wei Huo did not know. He only knew that the giant snake had sacrificed itself to save countless humans along with the Earth for over 50 years.
Although it had said that it had done this for its own sake because it would die if Earth was destroyed, it had truly saved billions of lives.
Wei Huo realized that the giant snake’s body was already riddled with holes. Earth Core energy was coming from those holes. The giant snake’s body was very tough, but it could not withstand the terrifying Earth Core energy. The Earth Core energy was like nuclear bombs bombarding the giant snake’s corpse. The terrifying high temperature spread out and turned the sea on Earth into a pot of hot soup.
As the Earth Core energy was released, the Earth’s magnetic field was weakening. At the same time, the terrain of this area was bulging. Just like a volcano eruption, the earth vein started forming a new and larger volcano.
The giant snake’s corpse was gradually destroyed by the Earth Core energy. More and more Earth Core energy rushed out, and fiery red magma soared into the sky. Golden energy beams were mixed with the magma.
Three months later, the biggest volcano in the world rose from the sea. The surface area of the Earth’s sea had decreased by 70%, and there was endless steam in the sky. At that moment, the Earth’s surface temperature had reached 300 degrees. No plants or animals could withstand the heat. They had all died due to the high temperature.
Wei Huo, who was in the Void Spirit Body, watched everything silently. Over the past three months, there had been over 40 earthquakes that exceeded level 10. The continent had collapsed because the energy of the Earth Core had surged out. The Earth Core had been left empty, and the land had caved in. The buildings left behind by humans had disappeared in an instant, and the mountain ranges had collapsed. Kunlun Mountain, the Alps, and Mount Everest no longer existed in the world.
However, the biggest volcano in the world was gradually taking shape.
The giant snake’s corpse was torn to pieces. Some of its bones and flesh shot into the sky and landed in a corner of the Earth. Some were directly hit by the energy and could not return to Earth.
The Earth Core energy shot out of the exit. The world’s largest volcano kept spewing magma and bulging. In a few minutes, it surpassed Mount Everest and reached a height of 10 kilometers. A large amount of Earth Core energy scattered into outer space.
Due to the release of the Earth Core energy, the Earth’s magnetic field had weakened greatly. The atmosphere started dissipating into space, and endless solar storms and cosmic rays shot down through the ozone hole. However, there were no living creatures on Earth that could be killed by solar storms and cosmic rays.
Because of the ejection of the Earth Core energy, most of the creatures on Earth had died in just 12 hours. Only some tenacious microorganisms were left.
Now, Wei Huo was the only living creature on Earth. The Phantom Body had avoided all harm. Otherwise, even though he was at the peak of the Legendary stage, he could not have survived the destruction of Earth.
Wei Huo watched everything quietly and comprehended it carefully. This was the death of a planet. No one had ever been able to observe the death of a planet at such a close distance. Furthermore, it was dying due to the complete release of the Earth Core energy.
The Earth was gradually transforming into Mars. The river had completely dried up and turned into an empty riverbed. Countless mountain ranges started to change shape, and the seawater kept evaporating. The weakening of the magnetic field caused endless steam to dissipate.
Boom!
The ground collapsed again. The energy of the Earth Core was released, causing the Earth’s interior to be empty. Due to gravity, the Earth would not collapse. Instead, it would collapse inward until it filled the void that was left behind.
The collapse of the ground would constantly compress the internal space, causing the Earth Core energy to erupt faster. As the Earth Core energy kept being released, countless precious items, such as gold and Soul Refining Water, that were buried in the Earth Core were ejected.
For a moment, the world’s largest volcano was surrounded by gold and liquid Soul Refining Water.
However, this also meant that Earth was gradually dying.
