“Boom!”

A loud explosion that could be heard thousands of meters away suddenly erupted.

In addition to this, the powerful shockwave shattered all the glass in the entire commercial street.

Those who had already taken shelter inside their rooms were also rocked so severely by the colossal wave that they desperately covered their ears, with some even being so startled that they fell to the ground.

Simultaneously, a mushroom cloud rose slowly following the collision of the two huge objects.

A more intense shock wave abruptly radiated from the epicenter of the explosion.

The surrounding ground, as if it had suffered an air raid, started rolling, and the road, originally cast from cement, disintegrated in this instant, revealing the soil that had been hidden deep beneath.

At the center of the explosion, the powerful shockwave created a circular pit with a diameter of ten meters out of nowhere. All the buildings at this central location were reduced to ashes and disappeared without a trace.

Before everyone could make sense of the situation, a colossal object was suddenly ejected from the explosion center.

“Crash! ” “Crash!”

“Crash! ”

Everything in the path of this massive entity, whether it was electricity poles or buildings, was smashed to pieces.

The once intact business center was now turned into a ruined road approximately a hundred meters long, due to the collision of this gigantic figure!

It wasn’t until this massive figure crashed into the Xingyuan Building that it

finally halted its rampage.

Even so, the tall and sturdy Xingyuan Building was also rocked three times by the impact, causing everyone standing in the building to be shaken onto the ground.

“Who won?”

At this moment, everyone disregarded the pain of being thrown onto the ground and this question relentlessly echoed in their minds. Because their very survival depended on this!

Chu Zixuan was the first to get the answer. With a sweep of his mental power, he instantly knew who it was.

His eyebrows knit tightly together as his mental power scanned back and forth. After confirming that Du Gang was still alive, he reached out with his mental power in a straight line to the other side.

He wanted to ascertain the state of the golden beetle after it collided with Du Gang.

At this moment the entire city had been churned into a haze of dust by the shockwave, the entire sky was shrouded in a grey fog, obscuring all vision, so he could only rely on his mental power to get a clear view of the situation.

“Chu Zixuan, how is it?”

The others also quickly realized Chu Zixuan was the only one who could clarify the situation. They hurriedly asked.

Chu Zixuan ignored them. After a straight-line search, he saw nothing at first. Then, he adjusted the direction and conducted another straight-line search.

This time, he finally saw it!

“How is this possible?”

Chu Zixuan widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at the scene in the distance.

“What happened?”

The crowd anxiously asked. Following his gaze, other than the dust, they could see nothing at all.

“Speak up, what exactly happened?”

Hearing the anxious voices of the crowd, Chu Zixuan came back to his senses. He stammered: “The beetle… the beetle hasn’t moved!”

“Hasn’t moved?”

After taking several deep breaths, Chu Zixuan explained again: “At the spot where they collided, the beetle is still there, it’s completely unharmed… no, its head is partially smashed!”

After an intense scan, Chu Zixuan confirmed that the beetle at a distance had shrunk considerably from its previous size, from twenty meters long to now just eighteen or nineteen meters.

“Is it still alive?”

The crowd asked again.

He shook his head ruefully, “Its life energy is incredibly vibrant, that beetle, its ‘head’ appears to be partially missing, but it’s still very much alive!”

“Wait, what about Du Gang?”

“He’s alive too, just slightly injured. However, the iron column made by Ma Li has been shattered!”

“Huff, huff!”

Du Gang was leaning against the wall of the Xingyuan Building, panting heavily.

He was not just ‘slightly injured’ as Chu Zixuan had said, his internal organs had already ruptured. However, there was a powerful force within his body that was helping him mend his wounds.

The reason Chu Zixuan thought Du Gang was fine was that after Du Gang transformed into a giant, he could no longer detect the state of Du Gang’s body. Seeing no blood on Du Gang’s body, he thought Du Gang was only slightly injured.

“Twenty tons? Thirty tons?”

At this moment, Du Gang was not concerned about his internal injuries. Instead, he was calculating the weight of the golden beetle.

According to the square-cube law, his weight after transformation was roughly between 2.2 and 2.5 tons. And the golden beetle was more than ten times heavier than him!

This was why, after the collision between the two gigantic figures, it was him who was thrown more than a hundred meters away.

Du Gang glanced at the iron pillar in his hand which was already one-third battered, and he felt a bit helpless.

His own impact force, coupled with the nearly ten-ton pillar, ended up being repelled by the beetle in the end. One reason for this was that the weapon didn’t withstand the strain, resulting in the loss of force and hence ultimately falling short against the beetle!

However, luckily, forces are mutual. Although he was severely injured, the beetle also suffered!

Although Du Gang didn’t have mental power and was unable to sense the beetle’s current state, before they separated, he clearly saw a part of the beetle’s head was blown away by him.

At the same time, he was once again amazed by the hardness of these beetles. The ten-ton iron pillar was twisted yet the beetle merely lost a part of its head…

“Du Gang, are you okay?”

At this time, An Ya’s voice rang out from the building.

Seeing Du Gang remaining motionless for a long time, they were worried. Not caring whether their voices would attract the beetles, they directly yelled out.

Du Gang took another deep breath, felt that the internal organs that had initially been ruptured by the explosion had already been largely repaired by an unnamed force. He took a deep breath and yelled aloud, “I’m fine!”

At the sound of this thunderous voice, everyone in the building was immediately relieved.

Outside Nanyuan City.

The Nanyuan Military District had re-established a defensive line outside the city, and in the central area of this line, there was a bug-free zone where not a single insect could be found.

If anyone were to come to the center of this area, they would see a fist-sized Dawn Stone being heavily protected.

This was why the Nanyuan Military District still sent troops here after learning about the expansion of Spatial Channels in the Western Hemisphere.

Nanyuan Military District temporary command center.

Commander, we have detected another signal…

“What’s the situation?”

“According to radar, there is an explosion source about a hundred kilometers north of us…”

“How big is it?”

“Equivalent to the power of a Battle Axe Cruise Missile…”

“Did we launch a missile in that direction?”

“Was there any external entity that launched a missile there?”

“No, no foreign flying objects were detected. The source of the explosion is local!”

Wang Dezhen furrowed his eyebrows. Could it be that there was an armory there?

That it was accidentally ignited and exploded?

“Could it be possible that the explosives in the local police station ignited by accident…”

Wang Dezhen nodded, his voice grave: “Mark that location, we’ll check it out when we pass by tomorrow. For now, continue escorting the Dawn Stone.. Our objective is to save as many people as possible!”
