Chapter 331: Mushroom Cloud 2

The place where Meng Yifan planted the Mushroom Bomb was a valley surrounded by mountains on all four sides, which could concentrate the explosive power of the Mushroom Bomb and cause greater damage to Lang Batian.

There was another advantage: Meng Yifan stood on a hilltop three kilometers away, and the moment the Mushroom Bomb was detonated, he took Meng Dayong and jumped off the hilltop immediately; the mountain blocked the shockwave spreading from the Mushroom Bomb, causing very little impact on Meng Yifan.

Immediately following this, the earth shook, the mountain collapsed, rocks flew everywhere, and there was pervasive nuclear radiation; Meng Yifan had long since condensed his True Qi into steel to form a True Qi Protective Shield.

Furthermore, Meng Yifan also distorted his Supernatural Ability, the Black and White Grinding Disc, turning it into two layers of black and white protective shields; not only that, but Wind Spiritual Power, Water Spiritual Power, and Lightning Spirit Power also formed layers of protective shields.

With these six layers of energy protection, plus the obstruction of the mountain, although Meng Yifan and Meng Dayong were very close to the center of the Mushroom Bomb explosion, the damage they received was almost negligible.

But Lang Batian was miserable; he was located inside the valley, and the Mushroom Bomb exploded right under his feet, the shockwave rising into the sky blowing him directly into the air.

A Mushroom Bomb explosion releases a massive amount of energy in an instant, with the greatest destructive power; if the Ghost Spirit Armor hadn't blocked the first wave of the explosion for him, Lang Batian would have been blown to smithereens the instant it exploded.

Lang Batian was now a ghastly sight; his eyes were blinded, all the hair on his body had been burned to charcoal, and there was not a single intact patch of skin on his entire body—he was truly riddled with holes, much of his muscle was burned and distorted, and the bones in many places had been snapped by the shockwave.

More importantly, Lang Batian's internal organs had also withstood the shockwave of the Mushroom Bomb; every organ—heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, and stomach—was covered in dense cracks, looking shocking and seemingly ready to split open at any moment.

Not only that, but Lang Batian had unleashed his Supernatural Ability, the Wolf God Horn, to resist the explosion of the Mushroom Bomb, and the Divine Ability was closely connected to Lang Batian's Divine Soul.

In the third second of the Mushroom Bomb explosion, the Wolf God Horn was shattered directly by a powerful shockwave; Lang Batian suffered a backlash, his Divine Soul was severely injured, and his head throbbed with pain.

At the final moment, Lang Batian curled his body into a ball to protect his head, chest, abdomen, and other vital parts.

A dozen seconds later, the Mushroom Bomb explosion ended, and Heixiazi Mountain had been blown beyond recognition.

The rocks in the valley had crystallized, becoming crystal clear like glass, a large crater over a hundred meters deep had been blown into the ground, and the entire valley remained filled with intense nuclear radiation.

This nuclear radiation would last for over a decade, meaning that for the next dozen years, Heixiazi Mountain would become a forbidden zone for ordinary humans.

Lang Batian was not yet dead, but he was close to it; at this moment, he lay on the ground, his whole body like a lifeless piece of charcoal, lacking even the strength to move a finger.

Even now, Lang Batian could not figure out what the explosion just now was; there were no fluctuations of Spirit Power, so it was definitely not an attack like an Immortal Art.

Lang Batian also knew that the human world manufactured Bird Guns, cannons, and explosive satchels, but those firearms could only hit Demon Beasts below the Third Grade, had almost no effect on Fourth Grade Demon Beasts, and could not even break the defense of a Fifth Grade Demon Beast.

Lang Batian could be considered knowledgeable, yet he had never heard of any human weapon capable of causing such terrifying, world-destroying destructive power.

If humans possessed a large number of such weapons, then the Demon Race would be in big trouble; let alone establishing the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, even wanting to protect themselves within the Ten Thousand Mountains would become very difficult.

Lang Batian seemed to see the tragic future of the Demon Race, but unfortunately, he could do nothing, not even issue a warning to the Demon Race.

However, with Lang Batian dying at the hands of Meng Yifan, other great demons of the Demon Race would certainly pay attention to Meng Yifan and realize that Meng Yifan was a reincarnation of a great power, and that there might be Innate Spirit Essence within his Divine Soul Origin.

When that time came, as long as a few great demons above the Fifth Grade joined forces, they would certainly be able to kill Meng Yifan.

After all, Meng Yifan's own combat power was not particularly formidable, and there were still many ways to kill him.

Striking while he was down, Meng Yifan took Meng Dayong, used his protective shield to isolate the nuclear radiation, and executed the Lingbo Microsteps; with a flicker of his body, he rushed in front of Lang Batian.

Lang Batian knew his end had come; he was very unwilling, wanting to self-destruct and drag Meng Yifan down with him, but his Divine Soul Origin had already suffered heavy damage, and even mobilizing a bit of Spiritual Power felt very difficult, let alone self-destructing.

"Can you tell me what was exploding just now?" Lang Batian asked.

"A Mushroom Bomb," Meng Yifan said.

"After the explosion, it looked like a giant mushroom; the name is truly descriptive," Lang Batian said, then closed his eyes, waiting for Meng Yifan to kill him.

"Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?" Meng Yifan asked.

Lang Batian's strength was very formidable; in a one-on-one fight, even Meng Yifan was no match for him. If Lang Batian opened his mind and acknowledged him as master, then Meng Yifan would gain a powerful fighter.

Meng Yifan currently had four servants: Liu Sheng, Shen Dahu, Lang Jiao, and the vampire Francis from Earth.

With the rapid improvement of Meng Yifan's strength, Third Grade combatants like Liu Sheng and Shen Dahu had become dispensable. Furthermore, during the time they had spent with Meng Yifan, their Loyalty had been constantly increasing, so even without a Soul Imprint, Meng Yifan had ways to ensure they would not betray him.

Even if the two of them really did betray him, even if Meng Yifan didn't take action, with the current strength of Luolong County, they could easily suppress the two of them.

Therefore, if Lang Batian was willing to be Meng Yifan's servant, Meng Yifan was prepared to voluntarily withdraw the Soul Imprints on Liu Sheng and Shen Dahu, and then draw out some of his own Divine Soul Origin to control the Fifth Grade Demon Beast, Lang Batian.

In Lang Batian's eyes, which were already like dead ashes, a glimmer of attachment to life flashed; he did not want to die, and between immediate death and losing his freedom, Lang Batian chose to lose his freedom.

"I am willing to acknowledge you as my master," Lang Batian said.

"Very good, come with me." Meng Yifan was overjoyed; although Lang Batian looked very miserable right now, the Demon Race had strong recovery abilities, and with Liu Zhongyong's treatment, as long as Lang Batian was given some time, he would still be able to recover.

Meng Yifan took Meng Dayong and Lang Batian, hid their figures, and sneaked back to Luolong County city silently. Then, using Divine Sense transmission, he immediately called Kong Sanqiang back and had him use his own Blood Essence to transform Meng Dayong.

Meng Dayong still had a huge gaping wound on his neck, his aorta was completely severed, and even his cervical vertebrae were more than half broken.

Such injuries, let alone in the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty, could not be treated even on Earth.
