Chapter 386: Chen Yiming and Zhang Cheng

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The moon was thought to be a natural satellite of the sun since ancient times. Many myths and legends had been born from it. In the past, when there was no way to land on the moon, the saying that there were gods living on the moon was widely spread.

However, in less than a minute, the impression that the moon had given to humans had changed drastically. A huge mouth had split open across the surface of the moon and was roaring.

The golden ball was caught off guard and started to spin violently from side to side. Huge holes appeared in it, and black liquid splattered everywhere.

Immediately after, the heavy water spat out by the divine turtle arrived.

In the blink of an eye, the surface of the moon turned into a sea. From the blue planet, the entire moon seemed to have disappeared, and it became even bluer than the blue planet, as if it was no longer a dead star.

!!

At this moment, the human city-level spaceship finally reached the same height as the terrifying creatures.

As the three captains listened to the various information provided to them, they avoided the shining thin lines in space. These lines that covered the entire space outside the blue planet were left behind by the lightning that had flashed past earlier.

The analysis from the ground control center was that the lightning patterns were most likely used as a means to track and locate the terrifying creatures that were trying to break out of the encirclement.

However, unlike the terrifying creatures, human spaceships were too fragile. Once they made contact with the lightning patterns, it was very likely that a large number of electronic devices on them would short-circuit.

Therefore, when the spaceships broke out of the encirclement, it was impossible for them to rush out directly like the terrifying creatures. Instead, they shuttled through the gaps between the lightning patterns.

“Is it not time to break out yet?”

The captain of the first ship, Qiu Wenzhuo, set the ship to float on the spot. From time to time, his gaze would drift towards the terrifying creatures.

The moon was already completely surrounded by the heavy water, but the terrifying creatures had yet to make their next move. In other words, the combined attacks of the three terrifying creatures were not the most critical part of breaking through the blockade.

“Their combined attack is at the level that can flatten half of the blue planet. What’s their next step?”

As Qiu Wenzhuo piloted the spaceship into the battlefield, the pressure on his shoulders doubled every second. All the preparations he had made before taking off could not help relieve him of the anxiety he felt.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

What happened next was not the terrifying creatures’ next move, but further changes on the moon.

A new larger vortex appeared, and the sea surrounding the moon was sucked into it step by step. At the same time, the moon began to collapse, turning into countless pieces of rock.

Each of these rocks was like a huge mountain. Together with the sea, they were sucked into the vortex, showcasing the devouring ability that shocked the humans.

“What!”

Countless humans around the world gasped. The collapse of the moon instantly revealed the full appearance of the huge mouth.

It was a strange creature with a huge spherical head. It did not have any eyes, nose, or other organs, and only had a mouth.

In addition, there was a huge wound on the back of its head. The wound could not heal completely, and there were black tubes stuck in it.

The aura that seeped out from the spot where the black tubes disappeared into made one feel as horrified as if they had fallen into an abyss and were affected by an unknown power.

Clearly, there was a huge secret behind this that no one knew about. It involved how the black tide had unknowingly established a blockade near the inhabited planet.

…

In the depths of the core, the fire spirit floated up from the rolling lava. There were black tadpole-like symbols below it that formed a circle. The circle extended out with black patterns that pierced through the endless lava.

This was the center of the core, and there was a foundation base under the lava. These tadpole-like black symbols connected the foundation base to the core.

At this moment, the foundation base had already been fully charged. However, under the cover of the layers of boiling lava, the outside world could not detect it. The fire spirit had been waiting for the most suitable time to activate it.

“It’s starting.”

The large number of light spots at the mouth of the volcano became the ears of the fire spirit, allowing it to observe the situation at the moon’s blockade in real time,

from the moment the snow beast made a move and launched a sneak attack on the moon, to the moment the three-legged golden toad spat out the golden ball and injured the huge mouth on the moon, to the moment the divine turtle spat out the heavy water that had accumulated in its body for countless years.

“This is just the appetizer. Hurry up and get angry!”

At this point in the escape plan, the fire spirit heaved a sigh of relief. The angry aura of the huge mouth was what the terrifying creatures were aiming for.

That’s right. If the huge mouth did not become angry and instead calmly stared at the targets trying to break out of the encirclement, that would have been beyond the expectations of the terrifying creatures. It would have been their turn to panic.

The world-level formation had one foundation base in the hands of the terrifying creatures, and the only external force that could be used was the power of the planet’s core.

The existence that had launched the black tide definitely knew about this. At the moment, only humans did not know about it and could only go with the flow.

“Although the power of the core can’t kill you, it can still hold you back and make it such that you can’t move,” the fire spirit said with a smile.

To the black tide, the terrifying creatures were basically openly showcasing their way of breaking through the blockade. However, the reason they still did this was to make use of the unstable factors on the blockade that were not completely under their control.

When the huge mouth became angry, the distorted vortex that could devour energy would appear, and the power of the earth’s core would be poured into the mouth.

“One.”

“Two.”

“Three.”

The fire spirit counted down in its heart. Before the twisting vortex completely appeared, the moment the angry aura appeared, it would control the formation and launch an attack.

The area of lava deep in the core immediately shrank visibly, and all of it gathered towards a golden-red light source.

“Fire!”

Following the fire spirit’s order,

at the mouth of the volcano, a circular shock wave spread out in all directions, destroying everything in its way. The forests were scorched, the lakes were evaporated, and the mountains were blown apart.

At the same time, a huge ball formed by dense lava shot out from the mouth of the volcano. It dragged a fiery red trail behind it as the heavy water was devoured and rushed into the vortex.

The fire spirit fused into the magma balls and separated from them only when it reached the sky, moving in the direction of the terrifying creatures.

“A ball of lava from underground!”

The humans were shocked again.

Although the huge ball of lava had disappeared into the twisting vortex, the fiery red tail was still continuing. After the formation core further condensed the lava in the depths of the core, it continued to shoot into the sky.

At this moment, the angry mouth did not care about anything else. No matter how much lava came at it, it would devour it. As the attacks were endlessly being devoured, the huge mouth’s spherical body turned black and red.

“Spread out a little and escape, but remember to cover each other.”

The huge eye emitted a spiritual fluctuation and emphasized it one last time before breaking out of the encirclement.

In the next moment, almost at the same time, the terrifying creatures scattered and soared into the sky, escaping in the direction away from the huge mouth.

In the three human spaceships, the three captains pulled down the control rods almost at the same time. The spaceships each spewed out two long streams of flames and followed closely behind the divine turtle.

The divine turtle carrying an island was the largest of the terrifying creatures, and its personality seemed to be more stable. Furthermore, wherever it passed, the thin lightning patterns were naturally cleared away.

At the ground control center.

“How much lava from the core spewed out!”

The top leader looked at the screen and let out a long sigh.

From the looks of it, the terrifying creatures did have a way to hold back the huge mouth on the blockade and create an opportunity to escape. However, it would undoubtedly leave behind a bigger mess for the humans who had yet to evacuate from the blue planet.

After breaking through the blockade this time, it would definitely cause the blue planet to enter a long and terrifying snow age. The ice would completely cover the land, and it was even possible for it to completely encase the five oceans.

In fact, it was not impossible for the blue planet to change from a living planet to a dead planet.

“Now that the terrifying creatures have done this, humans have no way out.”

The old general’s voice was trembling.

Any changes in the balance between the blue planet, the moon, and the sun would be reflected in the environment. Now there was a problem within the blue planet, and the moon had also completely disappeared.

What was worse was that after the terrifying creatures made such a move, they left without a second thought. As for the three city-level spaceships, they had only carried a total of three million people away.

Compared to the number of people still on the blue planet, three million was too little.

At this moment, something happened in space outside the blue planet. A total of three shadow mouths appeared in the air and blocked the path of the terrifying creatures.

“The shadow mouth! It turns out that the terrifying creatures were trying their best to hold back the huge mouth on the blockade, but there are still the shadow mouths to deal with, and there are multiple of them.”

The top leader had been staring at the scene in front of the human spaceships.

The moment he saw the shadow mouths appear, he immediately understood why the blockade could seal off the blue planet. With so many terrifying creatures, why did they still need to move together to break out of the encirclement?

In outer space, a huge battle between the shadow mouths and the terrifying creatures was about to break out. There were three of them, so it was three against one.

One of the huge shadow mouths spit out a fan-shaped transparent ripple at the snow beast.

This was a materialized spiritual attack that contained endless negative emotions. Ordinary creatures did not dare to come into contact with it easily.

“Giant Eye.”

The snow beast roared and spat out a mouthful of hailstones.

The terrifying power of the ice seal placed a heavy burden on the fan-shaped transparent ripples. A huge ice crystal fan appeared in outer space, and its speed was greatly reduced.

The huge eye’s single eye immediately shot out a long saber that had suddenly materialized. The long saber was formed from the combination of its essence, energy, and spirit, and it struck the huge ice crystal fan.

However, the long saber only shattered the ice on the surface before it was stuck and could not slash down any further. In the end, the fan swayed a few times and deviated from its intended direction, allowing the snow beast to easily dodge it.

The first spiritual attack from the huge shadow mouth was overcome with the teamwork from the huge eye and the snow beast.

On the other two battlefields, fights also broke out. For example, the three-headed fox used a strange spiritual technique to bait the attack from the huge shadow mouth to hit an illusion of it.

The real fox had already leaped through the space a few times and escaped in another direction, causing the shadow mouth to become as angry as its main body.

The shadow mouth dissipated on the spot, and in the next moment, it appeared on the fox’s path of escape and suddenly opened up to swallow its target.

When it was the turtle’s turn, it directly retracted its head and limbs, turning into a real island. It spun around and forcefully crashed into it.

“Boom!”

The island exploded, and the fan-shaped spiritual power exploded. However, the turtle’s back was surprisingly hard, and there were no cracks on it, as if it was just scratching an itch.

As the oldest existence in the dark forest world, the divine turtle had long reached the limit of the fusion realm. Its accumulated strength was unfathomable, and the huge eye and the snow beast could not compare to it at all.

“Whoosh…”

The three captains of the spaceships following behind the divine turtle tensed up and constantly adjusted their direction to avoid the materialized spiritual fragments.

This was the most dangerous moment for the captains. If any of the spiritual fragments hit the ship, neither the ship nor the people inside would be able to survive.

…

Suddenly, just as the huge shadow mouths launched their second round of attacks, chaos occurred among the terrifying creatures.

For some reason, the dire wolf gave up on breaking through the blockade. Without explaining the reason to the other terrifying creatures, it turned around and charged back towards the ground.

“What is the dire wolf doing!”

As the one leading the group, the huge eye was clearly shocked. Losing its power meant that there would be more variables. Under the chain reaction, the pressure on everyone increased.

Even a small variable could be the key to their eventual success or failure.

“Are you more optimistic about the chance of the strongest human?”

The divine turtle had lived for countless years. After thinking about it calmly, the dire wolf’s thoughts were probably just that simple.

Of course, it was mainly because the divine turtle had similar thoughts. However, the grudge between humans and the terrifying creatures had already been formed. The terrifying creatures from the dark forest world that had surrendered to the black tide were also pressing forward as the vanguard for the black tide.

If the strongest human had the intention to escape alone, the divine turtle would naturally support him unconditionally. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The other party intended to escape with his entire species.

This made the divine turtle not dare to pin its fate on the strongest human. The black tide could not only set up a blockade, but it would strengthen as time passed.

In the blink of an eye, the attack from the shadow mouth arrived again, and the divine turtle was forced to fight it.

This time, the shadow mouth no longer used a spiritual attack. Instead, it relied on its devouring power to close in on the divine turtle.

“After all, it’s not your main body. The shadow’s ability is limited, and I was already guarding against you.”

The divine turtle did not let itself be bitten. Instead, it spat out another mouthful of heavy water. A huge amount of heavy water, along with the turtle’s shell, forced the shadow mouth open.

The shadow mouth flew to the side. Just as it stabilized itself, it immediately saw the human spaceships following behind the divine turtle. An unknown fury rose in its heart, and it immediately gave up on its original target and flew at the three human spaceships.

“It’s over!”

The eyes of the captains of the three spaceships bulged, and the huge mouth was reflected in their pupils. At that moment, they were so frightened that their souls almost left their bodies.

Other than the thin lightning patterns that filled the sky, there were also unpredictable incidents. Who would have thought that the huge shadow mouth would suddenly change its target?

It had to be known that compared to the terrifying creatures, the spaceships only represented a small portion of humanity. It was inconspicuous and weak, and it could even be considered an ant.

At this critical moment, sword shadows suddenly exploded from under the ruins of the strange mountain village. The sword shadows streaked across the sky and slashed at the shadow mouth that was trying to devour the human spaceships.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, the shadow mouth that was chasing after the terrifying creatures exploded and dissipated into the air.

The battlefield in outer space suddenly fell silent. The fleeing creatures were shocked that Chen Yiming could still interfere in the battlefield even though he was trapped by a seal.

The remaining two shadow mouths stopped and turned towards the source of the sword shadows on the blue planet. The flames of anger rose steadily.

The shadow mouth’s main body was still devouring the lava from the core, but it was in a dilemma, as if it was unwilling to give up on its current delicious food.

Taking advantage of this pause, the terrifying creatures and the three human spaceships escaped and continued moving deeper into space.

…

“We escaped!”

The three captains sat slumped in their cabins and heaved sighs of relief. The shadow mouth behind them had stopped moving, and the distance between it and the spaceships had increased.

The sword shadow had destroyed the shadow mouth. The three of them had seen it the moment they flew past it. At the critical moment, humans still had to rely on themselves.

“The promise of the terrifying creature is indeed bullshit. Nothing to worry about indeed.” One of the captains immediately cursed. He did not expect that they were almost tricked by the serious-looking divine turtle.

The divine turtle had taken the blame because it had failed to hold back the shadow mouth, almost wiping out the fleet of spaceships.

Soon, the three captains calmed down and directed the people in charge of the various sections of the spaceship to continue with the follow-up work.

The three spaceships not only had the mission of bringing the seeds of humanity with them, but they were also responsible for the early preparations to go to the planet that could support life. Their first stop was Mars, and they would build a temporary base on the surface there.

When the time came, the human spaceship fleet would gather at the Mars base and set off together for a new planet.

…

“The first batch of the seeds of humanity were finally able to break out of the encirclement.”

The staff of the ground control center, including the top leader and the old general, were all shocked. At that time, they almost thought that the spaceships were going to be swallowed up.

To humans, the actions of the terrifying creatures were not something that they could control. They could not do anything even if they left a mess on the blue planet. Fortunately, there was at least a bit of hope that had survived.

After the spaceships broke through the encirclement safely, the shadow mouth in outer space still took up half of the images, and the other half was turned to the ruins of the strange mountain village.

“You have to come back alive.”

The top leader and the old general remained silent on the surface, but they were praying for Chen Yiming in their hearts. This escape had proven once again that outsiders were ultimately outsiders. They were not as reliable as their own people at the critical moment.

At the same time, the martial arts experts from all over the world who had come to the Daxia Kingdom to watch the battle were also watching the scene nervously over the television.

The sword shadows had destroyed the shadow mouth. Therefore, as long as Chen Yiming walked out alive, the humans would still have a chance of escaping.

…

It was the corrosive space.

On the space-travel barrier, there were holes everywhere that could not be repaired. Some soil even squeezed through the holes and fell to the ground.

In the other two spaces, the barbarian priest, the archangel, the six-legged rhinoceros, and the dark creatures could continuously switch spaces.

However, in the end, they were all trapped and couldn’t leave the sealed space. Chen Yiming, along with the divine sword in his hand, was tireless and inexhaustible, and had killed all of them.

At this moment, Chen Yiming was standing opposite a human.

This human called Zhang Cheng had swallowed the fruit of darkness, and his will had already been replaced by an unknown existence. He had become as cold as an emotionless machine.

Even though Chen Yiming had slashed at the shadow mouth in front of him, his expression remained unchanged.

“The blockade should also have its own restrictions. For example, it can only move within a fixed range. Its function is to prevent creatures from breaking out of the encirclement. The battles here are handled by the war weapon. Otherwise, why would the mouth’s main body be so angry but still continue to devour the lava from the core?”

Chen Yiming retracted his gaze and met Zhang Cheng’s eyes again.

Now, neither side could do anything to the other. The reason was that Chen Yiming didn’t seem to be exhausted at all. His mind and body were not tired.

On the other hand, Zhang Cheng seemed to have obtained this power because he had swallowed the fruit of darkness. This power felt a little temporary, and it was difficult to control it flexibly. This caused Chen Yiming to find a gap to avoid it time and time again.

Furthermore, every time he used the terrifying power to crush a creature at the fusion realm, Zhang Cheng could only control it for a limited time, and there was also a time interval between consecutive uses. Therefore, he was forced to switch spaces.

“The huge mouth’s main body and the shadow mouth don’t seem to be able to come down, so only the two of us are left. This sealed space is a little troublesome now.”

Chen Yiming smiled confidently.

With that, the divine sword in his hand fused with his essence, energy, and spirit, causing sword shadows to appear one after another. The sword shadows were not targeting Zhang Cheng, but the surrounding space barriers.
