Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 1734: The Exploding Sun

No, it was not a spark, but a rune that was even smaller than a spark. However, it was mysterious and complicated, filled with details.

Then, hundreds of runes, which looked as if they had been created by a master of micro-carving, were turned into spinning tops by an invisible whip. They quickly spun around the spirit magnet that Meng Chao had stabbed into the core of the detonation system. Soon, they were all arranged in an orderly manner, forming a three-dimensional rune formation with strict reinforcements.

The moment the rune array was formed, flames and electric arcs as thin as hair burst out from the tiny runes. They quickly swam around the rune array before spreading out in all directions.

Affected by the explosion, all the high-level crystals nearby that had been minimally compressed became agitated. These crystals, which were solid at first, began bubbling like boiling liquid. Countless air bubbles were popping up, and tides of spirit energy that resembled raging tides were spreading out!

‘Cr*p! Cr*p! This is terrible!’ Meng Chao cried out in his heart.

Up until now, he had yet to figure out what the enemy had done to deploy such an invisible defense rune array at the core of the detonation system; it could even avoid a Deity Realm expert’s detection.

However, he did not even have 0.1 seconds to feel vexed.

Before his needle-like pupils could return to their original state, the magnetic bodies that were tightly entangled with his nerve endings rose into the air and turned into sharp blades that could cut iron as if it were mud. Dancing like silver snakes, they pierced through the multiple layers of the deck above the super crystal bomb and even left a hole in the cabin’s solid superalloy shell.

The super crystal bomb was detonating much faster than Meng Chao had imagined.

In just 0.1 seconds, the terrifying power that had been sealed in the depths of the crystal and been dormant for billions of years erupted like a volcano.

In the blink of an eye, the super crystal bomb’s shell was heated to almost a thousand degrees. There was a vague orange brilliance coming from it, and it was still rising in temperature as well as brightness.

At the same time, numerous runes inside each high-level crystal embedded within the super crystal bomb were shining one after another, raising a destructive storm of flames, lightning, and frost.

Only then did Meng Chao realize that someone had tampered with the high-grade crystals.

The super crystal bomb’s power, when fully released, was perhaps three to five times greater than he had anticipated!

There was no time to hesitate. Meng Chao cut off the connection between the super crystal bomb and the Golden Roc as fast as lightning, following the route he had observed and calculated beforehand.

He picked up the super crystal bomb as he held back the raging tides of spirit energy that pierced through his totem armor made and bombarded his muscles, veins, bones, nerves, and brain.

Meng Chao felt like he was holding a small sun that was slowly rising.

If he had reacted half a second slower, the small sun would have destroyed everything like a supernova and burned the Golden Roc’s core cabin to ashes, creating an airborne purgatory more than fifty meters in diameter.

Despite having the body of a Deity Realm warrior, if he did not have protection from the totem armor formed by the spirit magnet, his skin would instantly be carbonized when he tried to handle the super crystal bomb. His internal organs would also suffer from excessive radiation, which could lead to serious ulcers, internal bleeding, and organ failure. In a worse case, his cultivation base would plummet, and he would become a cripple. At worst, there would be instant death!

It was safe to say that, under normal circumstances, a super crystal bomb like that could not be stopped once it was detonated!

Unfortunately, it had run into Meng Chao!

“I won’t let you have your way!”

Meng Chao endured the pain of his flesh burning and his internal organs boiling. His every muscle fiber expanded as if it had been pumped with air. Overwhelming strength gushed out from the depths of his cells and gathered into a powerful driving force like a rocket launch. It pushed the super crystal bomb toward the channel above his head, which had been opened by the spirit magnet’s sharp blades.

Just like that, the small sun but increasingly bright sun was pushed out of the Golden Roc’s core cabin in half a second.

Boom!

The real explosion came faster than Meng Chao had expected.

The moment the bomb flew out of the core cabin, it exploded before it reached the height of the airbags.

In an instant, Meng Chao’s vision turned white, and his entire world was covered by a golden ocean.

Even with the superalloy shell and seven or eight layers of decks, his eardrums were still damaged by the deafening rumbles. His ears were wet and full of blood.

Before the buzzing in his brain died down, the shock wave from the explosion formed a visible airwave.

The overlapping airwaves spread the wings of death above Golden Roc like a burning Apocalyptic Beast.

The wings of death raised a destructive storm that instantly devoured three to five cabins at the Golden Roc’s core.

Its power did not decrease, and the red storm continued to spread further.

The closest seven or eight giant airbags were made of composite soft materials that were resistant to high temperature, corrosion, and tearing on top of being filled with an inert gas that would never burn. Despite that, they still burst instantly like soap bubbles under the sun.

The pods hanging below the giant airbags immediately fell.

Just as they began their descent to the ground, they were caught up by the burning shock waves and torn into pieces.

A number of giant airbags farther away were also torn apart and burned at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The pods hanging below them, on the other hand, were like startled birds whose wings had been broken in a violent wind or lone boats whose sails had been blown away in a raging storm. They could only let the tides of spirit energy blow them away and drift with the current.

Fortunately, Meng Chao had reacted in time and cut off the connection between the core cabin and the nearby cabins.

Then, the super crystal bomb was blown away to reduce its power as much as possible before it exploded in the open space. It released most of the spirit energy stored within it in the grandest way in terms of sound and visual effects.

Hence, the super crystal bomb’s range of destruction was “limited” to the dozen airbags and cabins.

Even so, it did not change the fact that the core cabin, where Meng Chao and Lu Siya were, was the first target!

At such a close distance, the shell that was falling apart and the deck that was breaking apart were no different from toilet paper that was riddled with holes. They could not provide any protection at all.

Meng Chao could even see a large amount of rubber in the cabin melting at a visible speed.

The giant airbag that was dragging the core cabin had been burned to ashes by the blast a moment ago.

In the next moment, the burning shock wave would tear apart the core cabin and everything inside it!
