285: Meteorite bombardment

This meteor was an extraterrestrial meteor captured by satellite.

According to the meteor's predetermined trajectory, it would graze the Earth.

However, Jia Gu Yiyan entered outer space and repeatedly used the armor's power to adjust the meteor's orbit.

He allowed its fragments to be captured by Earth's gravity.

This was all in preparation for the current situation.

The meteor burned like a falling sun, enveloped in surging Vermillion Bird Flame.

Mu Men Depei looked up, and countless branches spread towards the falling meteor.

The tree roots continuously plunged deep into the ground.

However, the moment the meteor made contact with the tree crown, the meteor's powerful force erupted.

In an instant, the branches turned to dust.

A powerful force poured out, smashing through the tree crown without any resistance.

Mu Men Depei tried hard to activate his ability.

His monster ability, "World Tree," possessed the growth capacity of a small world!

And it could condense fruits that gathered all energy, achieving a powerful transformation.

However, this meteor was no ordinary meteor.

All the flames within it were Vermillion Bird Flame injected by the Suzaku Flame Armor.

Vermillion Bird Flame repels darkness and evil, and can nullify monster abilities!

For a pure-blooded "Wooden Door" level monster like Mu Men Depei, the Suzaku Flame Armor's ability naturally couldn't completely nullify Mu Men Depei's monster ability.

But, it could effectively suppress Mu Men Depei's growth rate!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the roar, Mu Men Depei's huge body continuously disintegrated, and the surging Vermillion Bird Flame absorbed the immense energy from the meteor's impact, burning and surging relentlessly.

With the sound of the explosion, the meteor directly smashed through this tree-shaped behemoth.

Mu Men Depei's entire body, transformed into the World Tree, also began to burn.

However, this was only the first stage of the meteor's damage.

Shui Yuqianxi quickly shattered Mu Men Depei's numerous clones and used a chainsaw to cut the tree roots that were jamming the spatial door.

"Mumen Se!"

Mumen Se quickly activated the spatial door's closure a second time, teleporting Shui Yuqianxi away from her original position.

As the meteor penetrated the massive World Tree and slammed into the ground.

In an instant, a mushroom cloud rose.

A powerful force, accompanied by surging Vermillion Bird Flame, instantly vaporized everything around it.

Mu Men Depei's root system, deeply embedded in the ground, also vaporized under the powerful energy.

Even if Mu Men Depei's vitality was immense, he couldn't withstand the damage at this moment.

This meteor was the Summoner's last trump card.

Because the destruction it caused was simply too great.

Even though all the people in Haizhou City had already been evacuated to underground shelters, the meteor's attack would still destroy everything on the surface of Haizhou City.

This was the energy generated by a forty-meter diameter meteor impact, equivalent to the power of a ten-million-ton TNT explosion.

The energy of hundreds of atomic bomb explosions.

It could destroy a large city.

Looking from above, only a blinding white light could be seen.

It was a light that could not be described in words, because this light could not be observed with the naked eye.

The naked eye would instantly go blind from looking directly at this light.

Jia Gu Yiyan, who was closest to the explosion, suffered a certain degree of damage to his eyes, even with the armor's protection.

Even his speed could not escape the spread of the explosion at this moment.

The force that vaporized everything within the explosion radius was rapidly chasing him.

At this moment, a spatial door opened, swallowed him, and then quickly closed.

The impact of the explosion directly covered the location where Jia Gu Yiyan disappeared in the next second.

The ground was directly torn open, and exposed rocks melted under the high temperature.

All buildings entangled by tree roots, along with the entangled roots, disintegrated into powder.

Black smoke and dust pressed down like a curtain around them.

The earth shook and the mountains swayed.

The tremor of the fractured earth caused the entire ground to shake incessantly.

That incredibly massive World Tree had disappeared from the surface under such an impact.

Above the satellite, images were continuously transmitted to the ground.

In the satellite images, clouds were blown away by the powerful explosion, and the buildings on the ground turned black inch by inch like an eraser.

It was as if a circular black ink stain was rapidly spreading outwards.

And the center of the ink was that high-temperature dark red.

As the first wave of impact dissipated, the first wave of energy generated by the explosion subsided.

The sky turned pitch black, as if night had fallen.

That was the dense smoke from the explosion covering this ruin, obscuring the sunlight.

Only the orange-red light provided by the burning flames remained around them.

But soon, orange-red light spots appeared in the sky again, scattering little by little, constantly growing larger.

Those were countless falling molten lava droplets, plummeting from the thick smoke.

Within the direct center of the explosion, no molten lava fell.

Because above here, the powerful impact blew everything melted by high temperatures to the edge of the explosion.

There was a huge meteor crater here.

Inside the meteor crater, high-temperature molten rock and shattered meteor fragments flowed.

The World Tree was nowhere to be seen.

The spreading root system, along with the World Tree's branches, was completely wiped out.

And Mu Men Depei disappeared along with the World Tree.

Under such an energy impact, Mu Men Depei had no reason to survive.

That's right, that's how it was.

Mu Men Depei could not possibly still be alive; under such an impact, there was no reason for him to be alive.

Even if Mu Men Depei's vitality as a "Wooden Door" was immense.

Even if Mu Men Depei's monster ability "World Tree" was incredibly heaven-defying.

This was very unreasonable.

Very illogical.

He was just a monster, not an unkillable god.

Spatial doors opened, and Jia Gu Yiyan, Shui Yuqianxi, and Gongye Shiyi simultaneously emerged from the doors, landing on the ground.

Although Mu Men Depei could not possibly be alive, him still being alive was completely illogical and unreasonable.

However, the three Summoners still did not let down their guard.

The high temperature was blocked by the armor, sparks flew around, and semi-solidified lava flowed under their feet.

In the huge meteor crater, the air was distorted by the high temperature, and scalding hot air continuously emerged from it.

"Mu Men Depei's World Tree form is not his final form."

"His monster ability has not yet been fully utilized; in his World Tree form, he has no mobility."

"The World Tree form is merely a prerequisite transformation for his ultimate form."

"He gathers a large amount of energy through the World Tree, and his next form is to condense all the World Tree's energy into a fruit through the fruiting process."

"This could be a form of attack, or it could be a transformation into his ultimate monster form."

"Although we interrupted his process with the meteor."

"But whether the recent attack actually killed him..."

All three felt a sense of dread.

The meteor's attack could only be performed once; a second time was impossible.

A meteor in outer space that could graze a planet within the Fire Finch's capture range might only appear once every few hundred or even thousands of years.

As for why the three felt a sense of dread.

It was because, even now, the Summoner had not given any kill notification.

Nor had they seen Mu Men Depei's monster crystal within their sight.
