Chapter 337 - The Ruined Earth (1/2)

The Earth was dying, and it kept dying faster and faster.

The gold, silver, iron, and other heavy metals in the Earth’s core had all been spewed out by the gigantic volcano. The appearance of the magnetic field on the Earth’s surface had been caused by the movement of the iron in the Earth’s core. Now that the iron had been spewed out, the magnetic field on the Earth’s surface had been weakening.

The weakening of the magnetic field rendered the Earth unable to resist the solar storm anymore. The atmosphere was blown away, and the sea started to dry up faster. Before long, the Earth would become as devastated as Mars.

That was what the Atlanteans had done. They had destroyed the planet to kill the Mythical giant snake, a giant snake without a name, a giant snake that had broken through the game barrier and reached reality.

Wei Huo did not believe that it was really dead. The gluttonous snake’s life was more exciting than anyone else’s. It had experienced countless hardships and setbacks, it had broken the world barrier twice, and perhaps it could break it a third time.

The Earth Core started to cool down. A large amount of thermal energy was emitted from the volcanic crater, which was half the size of the Eurasian continent, and spread into the cold universe. To this universe, the eruption of the Earth Core was just a matchstick in the cold night. Before long, it would be extinguished.

This earth-shattering calamity was over. Wei Huo got back his physical body and arrived above the gigantic volcano. He could still feel scorching heat there, but it was dissipating rapidly.

The Earth was still spinning on its own. Although its rotation speed had decreased, the cooling of the Earth Core could not stop the Earth from spinning. Now, the volcano’s mouth had turned to the back of the Earth. However, because the Earth’s magnetic field was weak and the atmosphere had been blown away by the solar wind, cold had suddenly descended.

The bottom of the volcano suddenly started freezing, and the low temperature attacked the back of the Earth. Without the illumination of the sun, this place would become a dead land. However, the volcano’s mouth was still emitting heat. The energy in the core had not been fully released. After most of the energy had been released, a portion of the energy had been preserved due to the reduced pressure.

It might take this energy millions of years to be completely exhausted. That was why the volcano was still emitting heat.

That was something worth being happy about. As long as one was near the volcano, one would not have to worry about freezing to death at night.

Wei Huo landed on the edge of the volcano. The volcano was like a gigantic chimney. It was huge, as it was over 30 kilometers tall and over 1,900 kilometers in diameter. It was far larger than the largest volcano on Mars.

Even in outer space, one could see the gigantic eye-like volcanic crater. The pupil of this eye was still scorching red, and it would take millions of years to extinguish it.

However, there was one more thing to be happy about. There was still a mountain on Earth. This mountain was the Heaven Ascension Peak, a mountain in four-dimensional space. Because the Heaven Ascension Peak was in the four-dimensional space, it did not follow the principles of perspective. It ignored the Rules of Near Big, Far Small. No matter how far one was, the mountain one saw was huge.

In reality, Wei Huo had been to the Heaven Ascension Peak in the past 50 years. The Heaven Ascension Peak was not very tall, but there had been some changes after the light had entered and exited the mountain due to the four-dimensional barrier.

Wei Huo stood at the mouth of the volcano and looked at the Heaven Ascension Peak. The mountain was still as tall as ever. The four-dimensional barrier protected it from all attacks.

That was the gathering place of the Marginalized Alliance. Although Wei Huo had been there, he had only seen it from afar. He could not enter the four-dimensional barrier. Even peak Legendary creatures could not enter it. Phantom Bodies could not enter it either, as Wei Huo was a three-dimensional creature. He could not pass through the four-dimensional barrier without a suitable method and passage.
