"Woo Woo Woo!"
The giant beast’s wail echoed between heaven and earth.
This earth-shattering explosion occurred right before their eyes, causing many to be dazzled.
When the smoke and brilliance dissipated, what remained in the original place was still the head of the giant beast.
Intact? Not quite.
Lu Ping’an saw the crack on its skull, which resembled a groundbreaking wound created by a thug’s baseball bat.
Blood constantly dripped down, and the wide-open wound seemed to reveal the bone... but that was all.
"Woo Woo Woo!"
The pained giant beast raised its head and roared in anger.
But purple ripples turned into thunder and lightning, constantly overflowing around it.
People on the beast were struck by lightning, undergoing a baptism of "luck value".
This time, the exaggerated intensity caused the human body to directly carbonize and even vaporize, leaving no survivors... The suppressed instincts were activated by pain, and the control system of the Aus people began to malfunction.
The unfortunate ones below who were close to it fared even worse.
Above, the thunder was random, while below, the thunder waves were indiscriminate and widespread executions.
The violent elemental fluctuations brought death, and when the purple thunder pool formed by the thunder and lightning spread, the scent of charred corpses filled the air.
It was angry and roaring, and its sanity, which had been controlled by drugs and special equipment, began to return under the call of pain.
However, this loud noise happened in the middle of the giant beast’s back.
In the metal fortress embedded on the beast’s body, a silver metal high tower suddenly rotated at high speed, and then penetrated the "ground" like a drill, injecting a large amount of medicine into it.
Targeted drugs took effect instantly, and the raging eyes of the giant beast quickly regained their daze, the sanity dissipated, and what remained there was still just a "tamed beast".
But this time, it had already caused astonishing losses... to both sides engaged in battle.
Considering that the surroundings of the giant beast were the battle formations of the Aus people, their losses were obviously too severe.
Reality was sometimes so helpless. The "war beast" that was brought about was too powerful, so the Beast Tamer had to limit its sanity and the majority of its power, otherwise, their own side would be devoured first.
But for Lu Ping’an, there was no change, and Zhi Xi’s failure made the situation even worse.
Having Zhi Xi test fire had clear advantages. The damage to her "twins" was acceptable, and she could recover on her own or "accelerate repair" next.
At the same time, it showed that the "self-destruction" tendency of this weapon was still within control... probably equivalent to cutting off both arms.
And the trajectory and power limit of the bursting attack also served as a wakeup call to Lu Ping’an.
"As expected, ’six-grid electric’ is not enough..."
He found the remains of the "bone god cannon"... actually, only a translucent white bone was left.
Its metal shell was nowhere to be found, perhaps it had turned into a meteor, but under that white bone, there were obvious "burn marks" at the lower end.
"We need higher-quality flames."
Meow’s statement confirmed Lu Ping’an’s speculation.
Although he didn’t know how the independent group’s researchers...perhaps the Aus people’s researchers did it, they indeed achieved the technique of igniting the "bone" through high-quality demon flames.
But now, after comparing the lengths, Zhi Xi’s "Black Flame" ignited part probably didn’t even amount to a tenth of it.
"My purifying Holy Fire should be insufficient."
"Definitely insufficient, she’s at six-grid, you’re at seven-grid... adding two or three more layers is basically meaningless."
In front of him, it seemed that they had already fallen into a desperate situation... because Zhi Xi and Lu Ping’an’s flames might already be the strongest flames the people of the Eastern Country could muster.
Only being able to ignite a small part didn’t mean that Lu Ping’an and Zhi Xi’s flames were weak. The Captain had already said that the higher the "tier" of the flame, the better the effect.
Zhi Xi’s flames came from the "Black Flame Generator", which was the main weapon of Fang Wen’s sixth-tier War Beast. The death-bringing Black Flame seemed to be at the fifth-sixth tier level.
Lu Ping’an’s current Purifying Holy Fire was taken from Little Flame and processed by a "symbiotic Demon Plant" with a Sun God bloodline.
Although the killing power might not be as strong as the Black Flame due to different properties, in terms of the "tier" of the flame, it was a higher level than the Black Flame... Basically, it could be regarded as a sixth-tier peak, below Rule-level "non-directly lethal flame."
This part of the amplification, Lu Ping’an guessed, still came from the "Divine-Blood".
Such flames were difficult to control. Lu Ping’an mostly used ordinary blaze on ordinary days, and at most added a part of Holy Flame to increase the killing power. But this time, the pure Holy Flame only reached the seventh-grid.
"Definitely not enough." Lu Ping’an’s flame was stronger than Zhi Xi’s Black Flame, but it hadn’t undergone a qualitative change.
Lu Ping’an affirmed Meow’s statement, then touched the remaining bone, which disappeared without a trace... Well, it seemed normal for a useless "waste" to disappear on the battlefield.
But now, he knew that if they couldn’t deal with this monster, no one would survive.
"...Help me, buy some time."
After saying that, Lu Ping’an closed his eyes and grabbed the remaining "Fire Electric Cannon", beginning to nurture his spirit with his eyes closed.
However, someone had already set their sights on him.
With such a big movement, Lu Ping’an undoubtedly became the core of the battlefield, and all the strongmen of the Aus people saw that scene...
"No matter what he did, stop him!"
"Kill him, hurry up!"
"If ’A01’ is finished, we’ll all die!"
Being the focus of the battlefield meant that his life had entered a countdown, but at this point, with his backup plan activated, Lu Ping’an had entrusted his life to others...
"...Little Sang."
Guan Xinxian took action again, and the Fusang tree Ark appeared on the land. Its huge body formed a barrier.
At this moment, Guan even had some regrets, because he considered the "life-saving raft" to be easier to use at a moderate size, so he did not use the maturation drugs to mature it, and now the strength of "Little Sang" was actually inferior to Lu Ping’an’s "Salvation".
If it could be three or four times larger, the situation would be much better now.
"Pavilion Pavilion to exchange the truth."
He used the professional abnormal ability version of "Giant in Hand"; the Ark, which had grown bigger by one circle, could it block those high-level professionals who had rushed over like crazy?
"Get out of the way!"
An adorable "panda", now full of anger, jumped directly onto the Ark, kicking away an amazingly fast Aus professional.
With two slaps, he sent that skinny guy flying.
Soon, however, two more people rushed over... Even with Xue En’s thick skin and strong muscles, he was still caught in the siege.
No weaker entered the battlefield now, and Xue En’s defeat is only a matter of time.
"Make way, Meow!"
At this time, others also pushed up.
Another Aus strongman broke into the crowd, but this time, he was greeted by a pack of wolves.
Forests and trees sprouted, and a gigantic tree-man went berserk.
Before Lu Ping’an could concentrate on his work, he had already played all his cards.
"Is it done yet?"
Facing the anxious inquiry from his companions, Lu Ping’an, had no time to answer.
In his hands, there was a faint golden flame quietly burning... And the moment it fell under Lu Ping’an’s control, he nearly collapsed.
"If the Decree-level flame is not enough, then the Rule-level flame must be used."
This was an obvious reality everyone could guess.
However, summoning and controlling the Rule-level flame, even if it were just controlling it to pour it into the "channel", had already exceeded Lu Ping’an’s limit, the upper limit of a Brass-level Fire Controller.
At this moment, he was somewhat grateful for his "Fire Prayer" Path, which had the ability to summon pure Holy Fire. This ability, not controlling but simply summoning and setting the mountains on fire, considering the situation in the Silent Mountain Range, could often be upgraded.
At this moment, the golden Holy Flame, which he had located in the "Holy Fire Church", was being dragged out bit by bit with the Holy Fire Incarnation (Professional Abnormal Ability), then poured into the small hole.
This had clearly exceeded the limits, not only of his own bleeding body but also of the design limits of the rocket launcher.
After the first "Drop" of Divine Holy Flame fell, the warning light was firmly locked on the blood-red ten-point limit... Perhaps it only had a maximum of ten points.
This terrifying Holy Flame was born in that very moment, attracting everyone’s attention.
The mentality of the Aus people had collapsed a bit.
So, the battle-line collapsed... The "Rebirth Commerce," which was retreating under the raging and fearful Aus people, had a shocking performance.
However, they were still just a group of young people, a group of "people with promising futures" full of unlimited potential but who needed time to fulfill their promise.
It was not that there were no strong people from the Eastern Country to help, but facing those crazy Aus people, their help was limited.
Ten seconds? Twenty seconds? At least, they had held out for one minute.
However, everyone knew that this was the limit... Some people were vomiting blood, and some people were smashed into the ground.
It seemed that everything was on the verge of collapse; if not for the intervention of one man, Lu Ping’an might have had to detonate everything prematurely.
He first turned his head and whispered to his companions... Each of them quickly dispersed like birds and beasts, the injured crawled hurriedly away, and the cat’s face was filled with fear.
In the next moment, Xue En looked up at the sky, his honest face full of hesitance and anxiety.
"Will this monster still go out of control? Will this thunder just ’happen’ to strike near us... "
The huge rumbling answered Xue En’s "call", as the monster regained its sanity for a short moment, and a massive electric net was spread out.
The purple lightning pierced the atmosphere and the "ground" in an instant, filling the world with thunder, as the furious "deity" vented its suppressed hatred and anger.
After this moment, the air was filled with the acrid smell of ionization.
A few unlucky ones who leaped into the air were vaporized by the thunder... Perhaps they were already Decree-level professionals, but in the face of such exaggerated thunder and lightning, there was no difference between them and low-level professionals.
In Big Cat’s eyes, considering the excessive "quantity" of this matter, its strength was already no less than that of an eighth or ninth-order lightning power.
Life and death probably depended only on where they stood.
Perhaps fate had not finished playing yet, Xue En, the "culprit," was not directly struck by the thunder, but he was still affected.
His charred body fell, and the cat quickly recovered him at high speed.
Thunder struck right in front of "Little Sang," and a lightning-formed boundary separated the battlefield, and even a strong warrior had to consider going around.
This would take at least an extra thirty seconds to a minute.
This was enough time in the end.
Lu Ping’an shouted now, and his companions disappeared one by one.
When he had already turned into a "Silver Knight" and pulled the trigger, the whole world lit up.
With this mushroom cloud and flash, perhaps the entire world could see it.
Mountains collapsed.
God... died.
