Chapter 240: Heaven Collapses and Earth Crumbles

18 decoy aircraft and one carrying a hydrogen bomb. Now nine consecutive fighter jets carrying atomic bombs have detonated!

The 10th fighter jet!

At this very moment, on Earth, the supreme leaders of nations like Huaxia, the United States, and the Soviet Union—all planetary-level powerhouses—were intently watching the live satellite broadcast. Every heart hung in suspense! For according to the original plan… the true one was anticipated to emerge between the 10th and the 14th.

Night.

The Golden-Horned Beast’s scaly wings gently flapped as it flew rapidly, its dark golden eyes filled with excitement. The several atomic bomb explosions had produced some extreme heat and particle streams, causing a tingling and itchy sensation at the part of its massive body that had come into contact.

And it discovered!

This physical stimulation was actually accelerating its body’s growth slowly! Just like human muscle training, a certain amount of stress was needed to make the muscles develop faster. And this Golden-Horned Beast, having lived in the ocean for such a long time without ever facing any threat, had only experienced normal growth.

This slight stimulation…

was surprisingly effective!

“Wu!” The Golden-Horned Beast looked ahead and saw another triangular fighter jet approaching, letting out a delighted cry!

This was a deep blue triangular fighter jet, the very same royal-level intelligent jet that had accompanied Luo Feng for a long time.

“Whoosh!”

The jet moved like lightning!

“Hu!” The Golden-Horned Beast leisurely swung its powerful, scaly tail, its speed far exceeding that of the jet!

“Boom~~”

As the tail made contact with the fighter jet—BOOM! The atomic bomb detonated.

A three-kiloton-yield nuclear warhead erupted directly upon its tail, unleashing the cataclysmic fury of atomic fission. A blinding artificial *sun* bloomed into existence, swallowing the Golden-Horned Beast whole. Shockwaves rippled outward in all directions, and the very earth itself heaved like storm-tossed waves…

Over the Pacific Ocean, a human figure transformed into a streak of light hundreds of meters above the sea surface, moving at an astonishing speed.

” Luo Feng, your jet is gone.”

Babata’s voice echoed in his consciousness. Luo Feng was staring at the communicator on his wrist. “If it’s gone, then it’s gone. Watch the eleventh jet.” Luo Feng stared intently as the communicator screen switched to the eleventh jet flying by—it was blood-red triangular fighter jet!

“Master ‘Hong’’s!” Luo Feng’s heart immediately tightened.

” Luo Feng, I remind you, you’ve arrived above the 12th ancient civilization ruins.” Babata’s voice sounded again.

Whoosh!

Luo Feng quickly accelerated and stopped above the ocean.

“We’ll go down in a moment.” Luo Feng stared at the screen. “This eleventh time, it’s the real deal!”

“A 150 million ton yield hydrogen bomb exploding on its surface, against a newly entered stellar-level ‘Golden-Horned Beast’—it’s hard to say. After all, no one has ever done such a thing.” Babata was very excited, but Luo Feng was now in a state of tension and anticipation.

Not just Luo Feng!

At this moment, Hong, Thunder God, and other peak martial artists, along with national leaders and military elites, were all watching tensely. The eleventh jet! This was the real one!

Success!

Humanity would then have confidence to survive this catastrophe!

If it failed…

Then humanity would plunge into a nightmare! A nightmare far more terrifying than the Great Nirvana period!!!

In the United States, the main command center.

The black-skinned president and his cabinet members were together, all staring at the screen in front of them! The president was tightly holding his daughter’s hand!

“Dad, it will succeed, it will succeed.” His daughter kept saying.

“It will definitely succeed, definitely.” The black-skinned president was holding his breath completely.

The entire room was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

Everyone was staring at the blood-red jet on the screen… the jet was rapidly flying towards the Golden-Horned Beast.

In the wilderness area of Huaxia.

Large numbers of ground troops were rapidly moving, while a flying saucer jet was circling in the sky—it was the former Southeast Military District’s frontline war base.

Inside the jet.

Commander Li Dawei was staring intently at the screen of his communicator.

“It will definitely succeed.”

“It will definitely.” Li Dawei muttered silently, his gaze seemingly magnetically attracted to the watch, sweat beading on his forehead, his entire body involuntarily trembling.

At this moment, the Soviet Union, India, the European Union, and 23 base cities were all watching this scene simultaneously! Everyone was silently praying in their hearts… in the face of this catastrophe, even some mad, ambitious, and evil people were hoping this time would succeed.

“30 seconds until contact with the Devourer.”

Hong and Thunder God were both staring at the screen in front of them. The room echoed with the voice from the intelligent system.

“23 seconds!”

“22 seconds!”

Counting down, Hong and Thunder God’s gazes were as sharp as blades, as if they wanted to slice through the screen in front of them.

“10, 9, 8, 7, 6…”

Northern Asia.

Pitch black all over, except for a golden horn with intricate golden patterns pointing straight into the sky. The Golden-Horned Beast was flying, comfortably shaking its tail twice.

So comfortable!

The previous contact with the atomic bomb explosion had made its tail tingle, and this area quickly absorbed the metallic power from within its body.

“Wu!”

The Devourer spotted the eleventh triangular fighter jet, a blood-red triangular jet! The Devourer immediately let out a delighted sound that echoed across the heavens, for in the ‘Golden-Horned Beast’s’ long life, it had only been born a few years ago and was now barely a child.

The Devourer spread its massive scaly wings and lunged forward!

It was going to touch it with its scaly belly, letting its belly feel that tingling sensation—it was so pleasant.

“Success!”

“It must succeed!”

“Kill it!”

“God, protect humanity!”

“It must succeed!”

At this moment, all the Earth’s elite leaders were extremely tense. Luo Feng, Hong, and others were so nervous they even dared not breathe! When they saw that the Devourer didn’t use its tail or claws but instead its belly to ‘welcome’ the hydrogen bomb, everyone’s hearts were filled with suppressed excitement!

“2!”

“1!”

The final countdown echoed through the headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts Academy, within Hong’s room.

This moment seemed to freeze!

The Golden-Horned Beast’s abdominal belly collided instantly with the blood-red jet at an astonishing speed. And about ten meters before contact, the atomic bomb in the blood-red jet was already detonated! At the same time, the explosion of the atomic bomb instantly triggered the detonation of the—’150 million ton’ yield hydrogen bomb! The most threatening weapon of humanity!

The jet self-destructed!

The hydrogen bomb exploded!

Faced with an explosion many times more intense than before, the Golden-Horned Beast instinctively retreated rapidly! Obviously, it sensed the danger.

But…

The hydrogen bomb had already exploded on its belly—how could it possibly retreat in time?

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!!!”

It exploded!

At this moment, everyone including Luo Feng, the screens they were watching instantly turned white!

In the main urban area of Jiangnan Base City, Huaxia.

The night streets were brightly lit.

“Look!”

“North!”

“So bright!”

In the distant northern sky, a sun appeared! It was dazzlingly bright! Making many people on the streets stunned.

“Why is there a sun at night?”

“Heavens!”

Many pedestrians excitedly tried to call their loved ones to share the moment, while others took out their phones to record!

“My phone has no signal.”

“What’s going on! Why is the internet down!” Some young men rushed out of an internet cafe nearby.

“Wow, a sun at night!”

“It’s a nuclear bomb, it’s a nuclear bomb, definitely a nuclear bomb.”

The streets were in an uproar…

At this moment, the entire Huaxia, Soviet Union, European Union, and all saw that dazzling sun! The massive mushroom cloud left people speechless, and… communications across more than half of the Earth were cut off. Only the high-level personnel of Huaxia, the European Union, the Soviet Union, etc., who had special dedicated lines, could still communicate.

Silence!

All over the world, national leaders, military elites, planetary-level martial artists—all were staring intently at their screens, which were no longer blinding. However… smoke and dust rolled, and the massive mushroom cloud soared straight up to 100 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, entering the ionosphere.

In an instant, the number of monsters that died in northern Asia reached an astronomical figure!

A large number of monsters were instantly burned to nothingness by the extreme heat, while many more were directly killed by the powerful shockwave!

“Did we succeed?”

Above the Pacific Ocean, Luo Feng stood on the Duntian Shuttle, staring tensely at his communicator. The Earth’s elite leaders were all anxiously waiting…

As if awaiting judgment.

Judgment on the life or death of the entire human race!

Northern Asia.

Beyond the rolling smoke, a golden streak of light suddenly burst forth and then stopped flying.

Its entire body was covered in pitch-black scales. Golden patterns ran along its neck, back, and tail, like black-gold armor! Its head was still held high, that sharp horn still as sharp as ever! However… its abdomen had a wound over ten meters wide, blood flowing, revealing thick, powerful muscles rapidly intertwining like tree roots, automatically repairing!

“Wu!!!”

The Golden-Horned Beast raised its head and let out an angry roar! As noble as it was, on this planet, it had actually been wounded!!!

In the command center of the Capital Base City, Huaxia.

Watching the screen showing the Devourer raising its head in furious roars and the massive wound on its belly, everyone was stunned.

“This, this—”

An elderly man with gray hair stared wide-eyed, his face filled with anxiety, anger, and unwillingness. “Puh—”

He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

“Commander.” Someone rushed to support him.

But other leaders either turned pale, trembled, or couldn’t believe what they saw.

“No, it shouldn’t be like this.” Jia Yi, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, stared fixedly at the screen.

Despair!

At this moment, among the global elite, a few even died from cerebral hemorrhage, others suffered heart attacks. The rest were filled with anger and unwillingness! At this moment, regardless of skin color or race, all shared the same despair and unwillingness!

The Golden-Horned Beast was alive!

It meant the death sentence for the human race of Earth!!!
