Even though the other side had stopped attacking.
Meng Chao still did not dare rashly go over to investigate.
He looked around and climbed the tallest Mandala Tree nearby.
He infused Spiritual Energy into his retinas and optic nerves, activated "Extraordinary Vision," and gazed into the distance.
Everything happening three to five hundred meters away immediately came into full view.
Deep within the dense forest was a circular depression resembling a meteor crater.
Within the slightly sunken circular area, thirty to fifty meters across, every Mandala Tree, weed, and shrub had been burned away by pale flames, leaving behind not even half a piece of charcoal.
Even the earth had been scorched into a crystalline, mirror-smooth glassy surface.
The heat was self-evident.
At the center of the glassy "meteor crater," the Origin Warrior that had just evolved into an "Electromagnetic Cannon" had also been burned into a twisted, mangled wreck.
It was as though even it could not withstand the high temperature capable of erasing all information, and at the instant the ball lightning surged to its limit, it had suffered the backlash of its own destructive power.
Whether the precisely interlocking gears, the dense network of pipelines, or the Crystal Brain-like core, all had melted into lumps of trash and were visibly growing dimmer and more brittle.

Meng Chao would almost have suspected that he had just suffered
