Forty Millenniums of Cultivation, page 840
With an expression of pain on his face, the member of the Pangu Clan bellowed and closed his hands, trying to kill Kou Ruhuo in his palm!
Perhaps Kou Ruhuo could have avoided the attack, but he had focused all his belief, his will, and his soul power on the unstoppable attack in front. He did not bother to evade the dominance of a 'god' at all!
Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi!
Kou Ruhuo's superstring shield had been activated to the maximum, only to die out in the next half a second. His crystal suit became rife with cracks instantly and fell apart in the next moment!
"Go to hell!" Kou Ruhuo yelled, but he had already crawled out of his crystal suit before the crystal suit was broken!
That was his tactic!
He abandoned the crystal suit and the superstring shield, he abandoned all the defenses, and he abandoned all the opportunities of escape, just so that he could buy himself a gap of 0.1 seconds to leave the trace of a human being on the face of a 'god'!
"Take a good look at my saber!
"This is the warmest greeting from the Immortal Cultivators, the true human beings, and the Imperium, to b*stards such as you!"
His tall and magnificent body withered to the minimum. Kou Ruhuo seemed to have condensed all his vitality into the most brilliant attack ever. The saber aura was suddenly levels brighter and even eclipsing the spells that the member of the Pangu Clan spurted out!
The gray giant's spiritual shield was finally cut open by the attack that Kou Ruhuo had traded almost half of his life for like a piece of tofu!
The aura of the saber pierced into the gray giant's left eye, the feeblest part on any being's body. A large cluster of thick, black blood immediately burst out!
As it turned out, the Pangu Clan—gods—could bleed, too.
The gray giant was roaring even more ear-splittingly while he shook his head hard, trying to throw Kou Ruhuo away.
Kou Ruhuo took the opportunity to clutch the handle of the saber and moved left and right in order to expand the wound.
The member of the Pangu Clan was almost bending because of the excruciating pain. He extended his hand to the left eye.
Kou Ruhuo had already consumed too much of his spiritual energy when he crashed the sphere barrier with his Nascent Soul. Right after, after sparing nothing and performing the attack that even devils would fear, he was already exhausted.
Faced with the member of the Pangu Clan's enormous hand, he did not dodge at all but simply grabbed the enemy's eyelid amid crazy laughter. Then, he opened his mouth and bit it hard!
"You want to eat me? In your dreams!
"Let me taste the flavor of a god first!"
Chapter 1286: On Fire! |
Kou Ruhuo's canine teeth bit into the corner of the member of the Pangu Clan's eye deeply. He waved his head hard and truly tore off a large piece of flesh together with the skin!
He chewed quickly, swallowing both the meat and the black blood into his stomach, before he put on an expression of disguise and spat out part of the broken meat. "How smelly!"
Every muscle on the face of the member of the Pangu Clan was twitching violently because of the pain, but they could not be frozen into the countenance of fury at all, as if a certain 'barrier' that had been installed in his soul was taming his negative emotions. Whenever his negative emotions were flooding out, the barrier would unleash things like 'electricity' to suppress his nerves!
His fury was provoked time and time again, only to be contained every time without exception. As a result, his face was extremely twisted, with inhuman gloom on it!
After the large piece of flesh of the member of the Pangu Clan was devoured, the immense spiritual energy contained inside made Kou Ruhuo's stomach bulge like a balloon. Cracks appeared all over his body, from which fire and smoke were flooding out crazily!
He burst into laughter in the fire, releasing his infinite feelings blatantly!
Joy, anger, sadness, content, despise, pride, affection… The positive ones, the negative ones, the bright ones, the dark ones. All his emotions were breaking out like a torrent!
Kou Ruhuo's behavior infuriated the member of the Pangu Clan even more.
It was like a man who had lost the sense of smell, taste, and satiation watching somebody else enjoying a delicious meal to their heart's content.
Li Yao could see a hint of intense jealousy from the eyes of the member of the Pangu Clan.
However, the very next second, 'jealousy', as a negative emotion, was shattered into pieces by the lightning deep inside his soul. His eyes turned into two tranquil, black gems again.
It appeared that he was not capable of jealousy and fury at all!
The member of the Pangu Clan opened his hands and slapped his eyes, trying to flatten Kou Ruhuo!
After devouring tremendous flesh, Kou Ruhuo was also dissected like Tang Qianhe. However, his fire of life was a hundred times more violent than Tang Qianhe's. His high and magnificent Nascent Soul soared up in the fire, which would not be suppressed however hard the member of the Pangu Clan tried. It was spurting out crazily from the gaps of the fingers of the member of the Pangu Clan and burning more and more fiercely, as if a newborn star was melting the member of the Pangu Clan's face!
"You want to absorb me? Come on! My soul is right here. Why don't you take it?"
Kou Ruhuo burst out his last roar. The flames of spiritual energy surged out, and his Nascent Soul was expanding crazily. His life and will turned into the most dazzling brilliance and exploded on the member of the Pangu Clan's face brutally!
The tough Immortal Cultivator had decided to detonate his own Nascent Soul and made his long life blossom for this moment!
A volcano was erupting on the gray giant's face. Black and red fire was squirting out from the gaps of his fingers that were covering his left eye. He could not stop it however hard he tried!
The red color was the last glamor of Kou Ruhuo's shining soul.
The black color was the mist of blood when the member of the Pangu Clan's flesh was vaporized!
"Ahhhh!"
With a dull scream, the member of the Pangu Clan staggered in midair, unable to maintain its high and almighty posture from a moment ago!
"Senior Kou…"
Li Yao had never expected that his blood would be boiling and his fighting will would be soaring by the boost of the resolution and toughness of an Immortal Cultivator!
He did not know whether it was because Kou Ruhuo's suicidal attack significantly diminished the member of the Pangu Clan's oppression or because his burning fighting will had ripped apart all boundaries that were entangling his gene strands.
But all in all, the member of the Pangu Clan at this moment was no longer as scary as when he had just woken up. His daunting spells turned into dispersing brightness, too, and could not impose any influence on them anymore!
"Fellow Cultivator Li, go now!" Su Changfa shouted. "Kou Ruhuo is dead. I'm heavily wounded. You are merely in the Core Formation Stage, and your crystal suit has been shattered. We are definitely no match for him! While his soul is still in shock, go back to the surface and fully activate the war base. Mobilize more spiritual puppets to deal with him!"
"We go?" Li Yao was grinning so hideously that the redness inside his eyes was almost overflowing and covering his entire face in stripes of blood!
Boom!
The fire of spiritual energy all over Li Yao's body soared. Bloody brilliance spurted out of his pores, blowing away whatever left of the Rockman engineering suit!
His magnificent aura and the violent battle hymn that was also boosted to the maximum along with his bloody fighting will cast Su Changfa into bewilderment. He pointed at Li Yao and shouted, "You—"
"Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Dark Flame Gold!"
Li Yao touched the center of his eyebrow with his index finger and his middle finger on his right hand. His soul power mixed with his spiritual energy flooded out crazily like a long river!
The Cosmos Rings that were hanging in front of his chest a moment ago were surrounding his body like shooting stars!
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
One unit after another rushed out of the Cosmos Rings and was affixed to him because of the attachment of the electromagnetic field, gradually displaying the whole appearance of a black crystal suit!
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit at this moment had already been adjusted to the 'super-heavy firepower mode'. The entire crystal suit was almost three meters long. In front of the broad chest, a crystal cannon that seemed to be made of thousands of stars was floating. The left arm seemed to be condensed by seven interweaving dragons and was significantly thicker than the right arm!
Boom!
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Dark Flame Gold, in the super-heavy firepower mode, had been successfully equipped!
Li Yao's spiritual energy, which had been enhanced by crystals, produced an immense force field, breaking all the war debris within a hundred meters into metal powder that was rubbing during the high-speed rotation until it was heated into a scorching torrent of particles resembling magma!
Manipulated by his telepathic thoughts, the scorching torrent of particles gradually turned into two wings. An overwhelming falcon seemed to be taking off!
"Kill you while you are ill!"
Li Yao pushed the wings of fire. They melted behind the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Dark Flame Gold into an enormous ring, from which an exhaust flame several kilometers long was bursting out. Li Yao's speed was bolstered to the highest in that moment!
While Su Changfa was looking in utmost shock, Li Yao sprinted unstoppably toward the member of the Pangu Clan, who was holding his head in pain!
The member of the Pangu Clan had only just recovered from a hibernation of hundreds of thousands of years. He was not fully recovered in the first place. Although he was charged with Tang Qianhe's whole spiritual energy, it was not nearly enough to fill the void!
Then, Kou Ruhuo's suicidal attack of detonating his Nascent Soul had completely broken through his spiritual shield, causing his head to be burnt and blackened!
In excruciating pain, the member of the Pangu Clan's techniques to draw runes and cast spells were greatly weakened!
He covered his left eye with one hand while he drew a few runes quickly in midair with his other hand. The runes were unfolded from a plane into the three-dimensional space again. Thousands of spells burst out into walls of wall, only to be breached through by the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Dark Flame Gold directly!
The moment it pierced through the walls of fire, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Dark Flame Gold turned from black into orange.
It was not hard to guess what a devastatingly high temperature the fire triggered by the member of the Pangu Clan must have been!
However, Li Yao's speed was not affected in the slightest. Driving the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Dark Flame Gold that was about to melt, he dashed right up to the member of the Pangu Clan's face!
The member of the Pangu Clan's enormous body size was now more of a burden. Now that a human being, which was much smaller in size, approached him, it was very difficult for him to catch the enemy!
It had nothing to do with strength but because of the natural restraint of body size, just like human beings might find it difficult to catch the flies above their head with their bare hands.
To catch the 'fly' that was Li Yao, the member of the Pangu Clan had to resort to using both hands. He opened his fingers, which looked like ten giant pillars, limiting Li Yao's range of activity!
It was exactly the opportunity that Li Yao had been waiting for. He straightened his left arm as if it were a spear before he aimed it at the member of the Pangu Clan's heavily-wounded left eye. The seven dragons that were entangling his left arm suddenly dispersed, opening a bloody mouth from which bloody brilliance was bursting out!
"Super strengthened! One trillion times! Cell Obliteration Cannon!"
The bloody pillar of light penetrated through the gray giant's left eyeball and into his brain!
Bloody mists were blowing out of the member of the Pangu Clan's left eye, left ear, and left nostril. Half of his head was burning fiercely in the fire of blood.
However, his aura was not reduced but boosted. With starry brilliance exploding inside his right arm, he opened his mouth and spat out an arc-shaped light!
Suppressed by the arc-shaped light, Li Yao felt that he had fallen into a deep ocean. His body was immediately stalled. The member of the Pangu Clan's enormous hand was already extending to his face, but he was unable to move at all!
A sophisticated, primeval rune surfaced on the member of the Pangu Clan's palm. The rune that was made of almost ten thousand strokes seemed to be an impeccable formula to restrain and activate the spiritual energy that could boost the power of the spiritual energy to the maximum!
Boom!
The primeval rune was stamped on Li Yao's body brutally!
The outermost layer of the plate armor on the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Dark Flame Gold immediately turned gray and white. All its vitality was lost, and it was crumbling like sand!
The high-energy particles pierced through Li Yao's body and blew him more than ten kilometers away!
He seemed to have suffered excessive nuclear radiation. Tremendous cells had withered instantly, and the gene strands in the other cells were falling apart, too.
If it were any other Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, the heavy wounds would have made them lose their combat ability entirely!
"He must be burning his life and soul, too!"
Swallowing his blood, Su Changfa shouted, "He needs a good rest now that he has just woken up. Such a way of fighting will damage himself, too! He definitely wouldn't do it if he had any other choice!"
"Understood!" Li Yao licked his lips and grinned hideously. "So, he is sparing no efforts to deal with us, right? Very well. Then let's—"
"Hooo!"
Half way through his sentence, the heavily wounded member of the Pangu Clan roared ear-splittingly, covering half of the escape center in his soaring fire of spiritual energy!
He had originally been around sixteen meters tall, but the bright blue spiritual energy continued expanding and formed another giant almost fifty meters tall behind him!
Boom!
The giant of spiritual energy covered several kilometers in one step, absorbing all the war debris on its way into its body as bones!
"Let's do as Senior Su said!" Li Yao turned around and said to Su Changfa, "I think that you were quite right, Senior Su. We should make a strategic adjustment and deal with him using the war base after we return to the surface!"
Chapter 1287: Draconic Phoenix, Activated! |
Before he even finished his sentence, the giant of spiritual energy had already approached them. The war debris involved in the spiritual energy was built into a whip thousands of meters long and slapped Li Yao and Su Changfa brutally, blowing them away in different directions and separating them!
Su Changfa vomited blood and was almost killed on the spot.
Because of the perilous situation, he had no time to bother with Li Yao's eccentricity anymore. He released his telepathic thoughts and controlled all the remaining spiritual puppets to attack the member of the Pangu Clan.
The member of the Pangu Clan, who was 'burning his life and soul', looked like someone totally different from a moment ago. Golden brilliance was flowing on the surface of his armor, and two golden swords had formed in front of his arms. When they were waved, they would leave traces that could last several seconds in midair. The traces of the sword that were not dispersing interweaved into an impenetrable sword net!
The golden sword net fell upon them overwhelmingly. The spiritual puppets that were caught were all dissected into the tiniest components before they struggled. They were even attached to the brilliance of the sword, making it even more dazzling and huge!
Boom!
On the other side, Li Yao went through all the trouble to crush the giant of spiritual energy formed by the member of the Pangu Clan, but he was blown away again by the torrent of particles that the giant spurted out at the last moment. His crystal suit was entire broken, and his veins were almost cut into pieces!
Compared to the dead bodies of the Pangu Clan on the ground, the armor of this particular member of the Pangu Clan was more complicated and glamorous, indicating that he might have been an officer or a captain. Now that he was fighting on fire, he was truly like an invincible deity!
Even with hundreds of spiritual puppets, Li Yao and Su Changfa, two super experts in the Nascent Soul Stage, were even not enough to stop him!
What do I do?
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Dark Flame Gold, which he had worked on for almost half a year, was almost a total-loss after achieving nothing but crippling one of the member of the Pangu Clan's eyeballs. It was dangling from his body like a dry snake skin.
There was a second Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit inside Li Yao's Cosmos Ring, but it was just a regular model with specifications far lower than the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Dark Flame Gold's. It might not even be able to take one of the member of the Pangu Clan's attacks!
Seeing that Su Changfa's spiritual puppets were being crushed by the member of the Pangu Clan like ants and that the member of the Pangu Clan's spiritual energy was burning more and more fiercely, showing no sign of weakening, Li Yao was more than anxious!
At the moment of life and death, his last Cosmos Ring buzzed crazily.
Little Black, which was hiding in the Cosmos Ring, was calling Li Yao!
Somehow, Li Yao suddenly felt that he was being summoned by something behind him.
When he turned around, he found that he had happened to be blown to where Draconic Phoenix, the broken Colossus, was floating. He had just smashed into Draconic Phoenix and even stained the surface of the Colossus with his blood!
Perhaps motivated by the surging spiritual energy from the two parties, and perhaps completely awakened by his blood, Draconic Phoenix had ripples on its surface. The fiery ripples sounded like impatient calling, and even the incomplete wings were slightly unfolded. The metal feathers were rubbing each other, letting out roars of tigers and dragons!
