Forty Millenniums of Cultivation, page 1342
Dozens of connection components more than half a meter in diameter that were used to fixate the gate and the shell of the prison were blown away, darting into the depths of the vertical channel and disappearing before everyone's sight.
In the next second, it was another tsunami-like collision. The gate of the beehive prison, which was more than five meters thick and weighed more than 1,550 tons, made of seven composite materials that were designed to resist the barrage of the main guns of starships, was blown up by brute force.
Several pieces of the gate that weighed dozens of tons rushed close like meteorites and fell into the vertical channel that was thousands of meters deep, triggering such a dull noise that was enough to grind the heart of every jailor!
Before the warden realized what was going on, a hundred twisted, bleeding Immortal Cultivators were blown downward from above, screaming while crashing helplessly.
The crystal suits of many of them were spurting out miserable sparks nonstop and even exploded in midair, sparing the Immortal Cultivators in them the pain of falling into pieces.
The hearts of the warden and all the jailors almost exploded at the same time. Their eyes were about to be torn apart and their every breath seemed to inhale flames that were mixed with thorns as they watched the monster that blew up the gate of more than a thousand tons descending before them slowly.
Out of their expectation, it was not an entire army, nor a hideous beast that was a hundred meters long, but only one man.
But what a tough man he was!
He was wearing a half-transparent black crystal suit whose materials were beyond any recognition. It was also barely possible to lock onto it with metal scanning devices or heat scanning devices. The crystal suit seemed to have condensed all the darkness in the space and couldn't have looked more profound and mysterious.
In the middle of the transparent and unpredictable black materials, deep red and bright gold crystal wires could be vaguely seen. They interweaved with each other and constructed a cubic network that was as complicated as nerves and veins.
The network improved the crystal suit's circulation speed of spiritual energy as much as possible, and the starry red lights and the never-ending dark gold brilliant added to the mysteriousness and the glamor of the crystal suit.
The warden had never seen a crystal suit of such a shape before. He had even never seen such mysterious materials and such a way to construct a crystal suit.
However, according to his limited experience, such an immaculate and flawless crystal suit only meant one thing, which was an unparalleled expert who dominated the sea of stars with destructive strength!
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
From the deep red and dark gold crystal wires inside the mysterious crystal suit, mystic rays as thick as hair flowed out and soon protruded out of the crystal suit, extending all the way down the back of the crystal suit. As if they had their own life, they connected with each other and soon weaved into the "veins" and "nerves" of two enormous wings.
In the next moment, the black flames of light spurted crazily and congregated into delicate but sharp feathers that covered the network of veins and nerves, turning into a pair of enormous wings almost thirty meters long which couldn't have looked more awe-inspiring!
The black crystal suit with bloodred spiritual stripes and gold brilliance was exactly the Mystic Skeleton Blood Wing—the best, unique crystal suit of the federation that Li Yao had produced with the help of the entire Star Glory Federation and the most cutting-edge units and rune array systems from the primeval relics for the journey to the Imperium of True Human Beings!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
Both the warden and the jailors had sensed the unstoppable, destructive waves released from Li Yao's body. It felt like a whole high-speed crystal train was running over their faces brutally.
"Hooooooooooooo!"
The prisoners also saw the scene. Although they did not know who Li Yao was, they knew that he must be an enemy of the beehive prison and "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" as well as the source of the "hell march".
Awed by Li Yao's dominating image, the prisoners were roaring even more excitedly than before. Bashing the transparent glass walls hard, they cheered for Li Yao.
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
The hundreds of spiritual puppets under the control of crystal processors were the only things that were not moved by Li Yao's grand entrance. They spurted out from the pathways in all directions and unfolded from the balls, unleashing all their firepower in the battle form!
"Hehe…"
Hidden deep below the dark mask, a smile of eagerness popped up on Li Yao's face. He licked his lips and extended one finger.
Countless storm bolters, crystal cannons, chaotic cannons, machine guns, and honeycomb-type flying sword launchers arrived from the sky.
They were all the weapons that he stole from the Immortal Cultivators on his way to break into the place.
Li Yao's telepathic thoughts turned into hundreds of tentacles, entangling and controlling the heavy-firepower magical equipment and locking onto the spiritual puppets in every direction.
Beep… Beep… Beep… Beep…
From the depths of his soul, invisible waves were also released to disrupt and sabotage the fire control chips of the spiritual puppets.
"Pa!"
Li Yao snapped softly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Red, orange, green, blue, purple… A storm of bullets of a plethora of colors and a tsunami of spiritual energy were raised at the same time. The mystic rays, the bullets, and the metal scraps filled the entire vertical channel. Explosions and fireballs were happening nonstop, and the spiritual puppets fell like raindrops. But the black shadow remained absolutely still at the center where the explosions were most heated!
Half a minute later, the explosions came to a stop. All the flames, spiritual energy, and blasts dispersing in midair were absorbed by the Mystic Skeleton Blood Wing. There was nothing around Li Yao anymore. Not a single spiritual puppet was still floating in the midair.
The scene took place exactly next to the prisoners.
It was truly splendid, exciting, and violent!
All the prisoners couldn't have been more shocked by Li Yao's astonishing combat ability. They all cheered for him at the loudest of their voices.
A large batch of jailors finally put on their crystal suits and lunged at the intruder from all directions.
The volume of the "hell march" was suddenly raised to a high level, as if it were going to shatter the entire beehive prison, or at least all the transparent glass walls that blocked the prisoners!
"Nobody can defeat me with my background music."
Narrowing his eyes, Li Yao mumbled, "Not to mention worthless scumbags like you!"
Chapter 2099: Invincible! |
"Bo! Bo! Bo!"
The Mystic Skeleton Blood Wing turned into a vortex deep inside the ocean. The spiritual energy ran to all directions like undersea magma. The space in the hundreds of square meters nearby was filled up by Li Yao's soul and spiritual energy, as if it were an extension of his brain!
He could easily control the feeblest ripple of spiritual energy in the space of hundreds of meters.
He could also sense the tremble of every grain of dust in the area within the time of a breath.
It was the most terrifying new technique of the Divinity Transformation Stage. The soul could be released into a domain, creating a small world that solely belonged to himself!
He was the dominator and the sovereign of the small world. In the violent space that was filled with gloomy winds and raging tides, he was an almighty god!
The Immortal Cultivators made an absolutely wrong choice.
Seeing that Li Yao was all by himself, they tried to lunge forward at the same time with their sheer advantage in number and besiege Li Yao in the narrow, vertical channel so that he would be drowned in the stormy, incessant firepower.
It was a shame that while the strategy might have worked on someone in the Nascent Soul Stage, it was absolutely impossible to deal with an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage!
In the narrow space where the Immortal Cultivators in the crystal suits were highly crowded, Li Yao's advantage of "absolute domain" couldn't have been made better use of.
Now that most Immortal Cultivators had appeared within the range of his "domain", there was nowhere for them to escape at all.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yao had sensed the circulation routes of their crystal suits, the types of their super-compressed crystal reactors, the structures of their every chainsword and every saber, the quakes of the bullets of spiritual energy that were well-prepared inside the barrels ready to be shot out any moment, and even their every breath, every heartbeat, and every drop of cold sweat on their forehead where veins were protruding out.
All the Immortal Cultivators had no secrets before Li Yao. Their crystal suits turned into half-transparent glass, and their veins, nerves, and even internal organs were clearly visible!
Li Yao was even able to predict their next move before their nerve endings began to constrict!
Hiu!
When the fire control system of the crystal suits of all the Immortal Cultivators locked onto Li Yao tightly, Li Yao suddenly vanished from their crystal processors.
He was floating right before everyone. They could even see him clearly with the naked eye without the scan of the crystal cameras.
However, the target on the light beams of their crystal suits was erratic and unpredictable. They could not lock onto the target at all, as if it were not a human being before their eyes but a wandering ghost without a real entity!
In the next second, Li Yao took action.
The wings that were almost forty meters long, which was surrounded by bloody flames and golden light, suddenly expanded to almost a hundred meters long and enshrouded a hundred Immortal Cultivators. Revolving rapidly, they turned into the most ferocious tornado!
Exclamations, gunshots, collisions, and explosions echoed nonstop. Having no time to bother with the safety of their companions, the Immortal Cultivators shot mystic rays and bullets at the black tornado crazily. But they seemed to be feeding a ravenous beast because the black tornado was only getting larger and larger in size and consuming more and more Immortal Cultivators!
Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!
As the black tornado revolved at the highest speed, many Immortal Cultivators whose crystal suits had been shattered or even set on fire were thrown away brutally into cannonballs that were as quick as lightning, before they hit the transparent glass walls of the prison cells around heavily.
The force of the collision was so huge that many Immortal Cultivators were vaporized even before they were split apart. The super-compressed crystal reactors on their crystal suits, in the meantime, turned into powerful crystal bombs that exploded on the transparent glass walls one after another.
Despite the sturdiness of the transparent glass walls, they could not withstand the incessant collisions of crystal suits. With cracking sounds, a lot of gaps that looked like spider webs appeared on the glass walls.
The blood-boiling, violent battle hymn was even more inspiring than before. Almost all the prisoners had been living a life more miserable than death in the hellish prison and hated the jailors' guts. They were so excited that they almost couldn't control themselves when they watched Li Yao butchering the jailors as if they were chickens.
While crashing the transparent glass walls nonstop in cooperation with Li Yao, with the hope of completely blowing up the gaps, they roared in their primitive animality and vented their anger and ecstasy to their hearts' content. They did not know Li Yao's name yet, but in their eyes, Li Yao had turned into the embodiment of their infinite fury that had been accumulated to the zenith after decades of imprisonment and torture!
BOOM!
Another jailor was blown away by Li Yao brutally into a transparent glass wall that was on the brink of collapse.
The man was rather sturdy. Although his bones and internal organs were all broken, he was not dead yet.
But before he struggled, a furry claw extended out of the broken gap on the transparent glass wall and grabbed him by the neck. Squeezing and churning it brutally, the claw broke the man's spine by force!
BOOM! BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
Finally, the first prisoner broke the transparent glass wall. A bleeding, magnificent body crawled out of the hole and stared at the God of Killing Li Yao at the center of the black tornado with utmost admiration while letting out roars that were equally filled with the will of slaughter and resistance!
The alarms in the beehive prison were even more earsplitting and panicking.
However, even the most earsplitting alarms would be eclipsed by Li Yao's unbelievably vehement hell march.
The hundreds of jailors were all horrified. Under the intimidation of the overwhelming aura of the Divinity Transformation Stage, they could not summon any courage to resist at all.
Many of them ran away immediately, hoping to enter the main body of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" from the bottom of the vertical channel.
However, with Li Yao's help, more and more prisoners had blown up the transparent glass walls before them. Given temporary freedom, they all sprinted forward and jumped at the jailors who were fleeing in panic, knocking them away brutally.
Turmoil. The whole beehive prison was caught in the turmoil. More and more prisoners escaped like floods breaking the dam. They were all running to the control room at the top where the warden was at. Although they were in ragged clothes and barely armed, their bodies of flesh and blood were already the best weapons after dozens of refinements.
"Hurry up and activate the Dragnet to the maximum!"
The warden shouted hysterically in the control room.
"Hum…"
A dull noise echoed, and electric arcs as thick as boas rose from the bottom of the vertical channel, sweeping across the entire beehive prison instantly.
Due to the attraction of the powerful magnetic field in all directions, all the prisoners couldn't help but open their arms and legs, before they were bound to the wall and the floor tightly.
The shackles were deeply entangled with their spines and their brains. If they resisted, there would only be excruciating pain that nobody could resist.
"Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!"
The prisoners were stuck to the floor; their arms and their legs stretched out. They could do nothing except to bulge their bloodshot eyes and utter roars of discontentment.
"Hehe!"
At this moment, Li Yao had already cleared all the prisoners within a hundred meters from him, who were shot at the transparent glass walls as cannonballs without any exception.
Glancing at the prisoners who had been pressed to the ground, he tilted his head and stared at the control room up above. With his left hand behind his back, he straightened his right arm and opened his fingers.
A dark red light ball that contained extremely dangerous energy, with the deep golden electric arcs as the framework, began to condense, revolve, and expand rapidly at his palm!
"Not… Not good!"
The warden in the control room seemed to be able to see Li Yao's eyes, which were exploding before him like two supernovas!
The warden wanted to escape out of his natural instincts, but his entire body from the muscle fibers to the nerve endings to the spine had been completely destroyed by Li Yao's eyes. He could not even move his toe as he watched the dark red light ball that looked like a black hole grew larger and larger, until it filled his eyes and completely melted him as well as the control room!
Li Yao demolished the control room of the beehive prison in one shot.
However, the Dragnet that had been activated to the maximum could not be cracked so easily. Thousands of prisoners were still attached to the floor tightly.
"Hehe…"
Li Yao smiled and turned his eyes downward again.
The pitch-black channel seemed to have become a translucent structure, allowing him to easily detect the spiritual energy relay station that was buried at the deepest part of the beehive prison, which was the source that provided incessant energy for the great array.
Under the watch of all the prisoners who were full of expectation and disbelief, an unprecedented miracle took place!
Li Yao stabbed his hands deeply into the midline of the breastplate of his crystal suit and pulled the two parts heavily.
The crystal suit should have been made of metals and crystals, but a structure that looked like the crystalline lens of living creatures was revealed on the chest.
Then, after a moment with weird rhythms, two clusters of the crystalline lens the size of goose eggs also protruded out of the hands of the Mystic Skeleton Blood Wing.
Electric arcs and ripples of spiritual energy appeared from the void around the four clusters of the crystalline lens. Leaving unpredictable traces behind, they were condensed into sophisticated and calligraphic runes that were all absorbed by the crystalline lens.
The four clusters of the crystalline lens were more and more bright, dazzling, and scorching, as if four small suns were growing out of Li Yao's body!
At first, many prisoners were still bulging their eyes while watching the incredible scene.
But very soon, the light spots triggered by Li Yao's body were already as intense as the solar flare of the sun. It was impossible for the prisoners to look at them directly at all.
In the end, even though they shut their eyes tightly, they could still feel the ubiquitous light stabbing into their eyes and blinding them like golden swords!
It was the strength incomparable and even unavoidable for them. They could do nothing except to roar and bellow at the loudest of their voices, venting their fear and ecstasy in such a way.
Even if they had to die, they still wanted to die together with the beehive prison, "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky", and the Immortal Cultivators!
"It's been a long time. A hundred billion times, the Cell Obliteration Cannon, burst now!"
