Chapter 1940  Behind the Crystal Wall 

Meng Chao did not know what Battle God Lei Zongchao was searching for in the depths of the ancient ruins.

But now, that man was his only answer.

Meng Chao looked at his comrades who were entangled with the crystal threads and trapped in endless reincarnation. Without hesitation, he picked up his helmet and trailed after Battle God Lei Zongchao.

It was as if he was traveling through the deepest sulci of an enormous brain.

The ravines slanted downward, and the deeper he walked, the narrower it became. The crystal walls that looked like cerebral cortexes also had sharp bumps that resembled nerves. They crisscrossed and blocked the ravines.

Fortunately, the invasion of ferocious ancient beasts had also spread to this place.

Most of the "nerve connections" had been uprooted by the tentacles of the ancient beasts.

The small remaining part had been broken by Battle God Lei Zongchao, and he left a bloody trail behind.

From the scuffle marks and traces of dried blood, he could tell that Battle God Lei Zongchao had been there not too long ago.

The increasingly clear scarlet afterimages also proved this point.

This gave Meng Chao endless confidence, and he continued to move forward courageously.

Gradually, all his companions left his sight.

The entire space around him was filled with crystal ores as if it had turned from a ravine into an unfathomable hole.

On top of that, the hole was getting narrower and narrower. Most of the time, he could only curl up like a baby and barely squeeze in.

This narrow space had just been opened up by Battle God Lei Zongchao who had punched and kicked his way through.

Eventually, when the scarlet afterimages were so bright that they were about to burn, Meng Chao saw Battle God Lei Zongchao's figure.

He also saw the crystal wall blocking the entire hole before him.

This was a dead end.

There was no road ahead.

"Master Lei!"

Meng Chao flew toward Lei Zongchao.

However, he discovered that the Battle God, whom all Dragon City citizens revered, had already... fallen.

Compared to the person they saw in the surveillance footage, Lei Zongchao was unbelievably thin here.

It was as if he had burned his flesh and blood as fuel in half a day of exploration.

His fists were so thin that even his skin could not wrap around his bones. They were covered in cracks, as well as wounds, and his pale fingers were almost flat.

Combined with the layers of fist marks on the crystal wall before him and the spider-web cracks that spread out along the fist marks, it was not difficult for Meng Chao to imagine what had happened there not long ago.

For some unknown reason Battle God Lei Zongchao had passed through many obstacles to finally get there. However, he was stopped by this crystal wall.

Unwilling to give up, he waved his fists and tried to blow up the crystal wall, as though he was attempting to destroy its "synapse."

It was a pity that the crystal wall was too thick and hard. On top of that, Lei Zongchao had pushed himself too hard to get there.

He should have realized that he was already on the brink of death and it was impossible for him to break the crystal wall that sealed the ultimate answer.

Even so, he did not give up. He did not even hesitate.

Instead, he burned himself desperately.

He burned himself like a stubborn beacon in the midst of raging waves.

He burned like the rumbling engine of an overloaded assault vehicle, and he burned like a star that was about to die and expand a million times following its death.

The Battle God poured the warmest and most violent spirit energy into his fists as he landed blows on the indestructible crystal wall before his eyes.

In the end, Battle God Lei Zongchao died, but he did take it lying down.

Instead, he knelt on one knee and supported his skinny body with his bloody fists. He stared at the bloody fist marks and spider-web cracks at the center of the crystal wall. His eyes were wide open as if he was determined to open up the path for those who came after him.

"Master Lei…"

Meng Chao tried to close Lei Zongchao's eyes.

However, he discovered that the Battle God's eyelids were like two locked gates that could not be lowered.

Even though he was no longer alive, Lei Zongchao's eyeballs were covered in tens of thousands of dancing lightning bolts.

They gathered into two beams of light and appeared to be giving Meng Chao a warning. They were telling him not to dawdle, to race against time and complete his mission!

"So, all the answers are hidden behind this wall?"

Meng Chao gently touched the fist mark that Battle God Lei Zongchao had left behind.

He found that although the crystal wall was extremely hard and thick, crystal chips as thin as grains of sand were still flying off Lei Zongchao's fist. The cracks in the wall were also expanding, extending, and splitting.

"Master Lei, I understand."

Battle God Lei Zongchao's blood that was left on his fist flowed to the back of Meng Chao's hand. It was as if it still had life and carried a part of the Battle God's will. It meandered and wrapped around Meng Chao's entire arm. Then, it quickly seeped into his arm and formed an extremely gorgeous flame spirit tattoo.

"I'll break through all obstacles before me and find the ultimate solution to save the Dragon City civilization. I'll turn this solution into reality!"

Battle God Lei Zongchao's blood was like a mixture of cardiac and combustion stimulants. It flowed endlessly through Meng Chao's blood vessels and nerves, which gave him some strength even though he had just overworked his brain and lost his balance.

He poured all the strength that he had just squeezed out of his cells into his right arm. Then, he lit up the flame spirit tattoo and formed bloody lightning that surrounded his arm.

The blood-red lightning crackled and spun rapidly. Gradually, it condensed into an indestructible battering ram on his fist that was a mixture of his own spirit and the Battle God's will.

Meng Chao took a deep breath.

Closing his eyes, his thoughts returned to the time when he had just obtained memories of the apocalypse and activated the three basic force execution methods.

His front legs were taut, his hind legs were bent, his lungs were exploding, and his back resembled a dragon's spine. He swung his left arm and gained a stronger spinning force.As a result, his right arm broke through the speed of sound like a rainbow that could pierce through the sun and an approaching comet. He was burning and destroying everything in front of him without holding back. Battle God Lei Zongchao had left behind hundreds of overlapping fist marks. In the end, Meng Chao hit the most vulnerable spot at the center!

Crack!

Kacha kacha kacha!

The moment Meng Chao's burning iron fist collided with the crystal wall that was as hard as a rock, his fist, arm, shoulder blade, and even chest let out a series of bone-shattering pops.

His broken bones even poked out of his skin and bent his right arm into seven or eight sections that would make a person jump.

Yet, he did not seem to feel any pain.

Through his burning broken arm, Meng Chao sent the last of his surging spirit energy into the crystal wall!
