Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

by <unknown>

  It was even less likely for her to tell the secret to an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage, because it would be terribly difficult to kill the informant to keep his mouth shut after the job was done, even with the power of the queen.

  "You are bluffing me?"

  Li Lingfeng burst into fury, but there was no time!

  During the moment when Li Lingfeng was shocked and wavering, the thorny veins on the Tartarean Colossus expanded at least three times like the most ferocious dragons waking up. A lot of the thorny veins were torn apart, spurting out intense mists of blood.

  The black wings on his back were also splitting and extending, like clusters of black lotus flowers that were flourishing.

  From the saber, which was made of the spine of a primeval beast, on his highly-raised arms, furious flames and overwhelming tides were rolling out, and the crimson brilliance from the saber was almost piercing through the entire universe!

  Li Yao's most fatal skill had been prepared in the moment!

  His head was filled up by the scenes where he challenged the tornado in the super thunderstorm area deep inside the Grand Desolate Plateau when he wore his crystal suit for the first time.

  He recalled the unparalleled sense of comfort and gratification when he slashed the tornadoes that were enshrouded in electric arcs and as crazy as dragons into halves without considering his own life!

  At the moment, Li Yao's domain expanded to the limits and completely swallowed Li Lingfeng's domain.

  The entire world was brimming with the crazy resonation of Li Yao's heart, soul, and saber!

  It was almost like the stars in the entire universe had turned into his notes, and the whole sea of stars was simmering under the boost of his battle hymn!

  The domain in the thousand square meters around was entirely occupied by the auras of Li Yao's blade and the determination of marching forward unstoppably despite the blockage of tornadoes!

  "Returning to my experience at the beginning, the luxurious and upgraded version of the Thunderous Tornado Saber, the blade that executed the tornadoes, is going to kill you!"

  Li Yao and the Tartarean Skeleton were completely melted. Countless octagonal, ancient, and shiny runes deep inside the Tartarean Skeleton fell apart, sending out a destructive force that swept across the Tempest God on the opposite side overwhelmingly!

  BOOM!

  A red-and-blue enormous ball of light was raised in the collision of the two Colossi. The thousands of ripples spreading out shoved away all the starships nearby!

  Regardless of whether they belonged to Cultivators or Immortal Cultivators, all the starships' spiritual shields and force field twisting systems were shrieking aloud.

  The spiritual shields of many starships that had been too seriously damaged were even wasted, and their shells were uttering blood-freezing sounds of metal contortions when the overwhelming spiritual energy was dumped on them directly.

  For the starships whose spiritual shields still managed to sustain, all the light beams were flashing crazily in all sorts of colorful stripes, as if they had been caught in an extremely crazy nightmare.

  When the dazzling light ball finally dimmed, all the Cultivators and the Immortal Cultivators saw the scene that they would never forget for the rest of their life.

  The "battlefield" below the two Colossi, or rather, the shell of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky", now had an enormous crater more than five kilometers in diameter after the blow. All the cabins and metal structures in the giant crater had been wasted and reduced into a gargantuan swirl. The metal scraps inside the swirl had been melted by the high temperature, only to be consolidated quickly into glittering pearls that were shot to all directions randomly.

  The Tartarean Skeleton suffered heavy damage.

  In order to launch the unstoppable, tornado-slaying attack, its shoulder joints, elbow joints, and ankle joints were all broken.

  The saber had been cut apart from the middle too, and only one-third of the weapon was still grasped in the hand.

  To pursue the highest damage, Li Yao did not bother to consider defense at all. In the dreadful counterattack of the Tempest God, the Tartarean Skeleton was riddled with holes. The broken internal parts were exposed to a lot of critical parts. Fuel, lubricants, and stabilizers were spurting out crazily, as if the internal organs of the machine were erupting out together with the flesh and the plasma!

  However…

  Li Lingfeng's "Tempest God" was in no better condition.

  The previously dazzlingly glamorous shell was not filled with damage deep to the bones. All kinds of silver, glittering liquids were surging out, condensing into shiny little balls in the vacuum.

  Brilliant sparks were haunting all the joints. Several fingers were even cramping uncontrollably, which suggested a major fault in the neural connection system between the Colossus and its user.

  What was most devastating of all was that Li Yao's half-broken saber was deeply embedded in the face of the blue Colossus, so deeply that almost half of the head of the Tempest God had been chopped off.

  The previously graceful and inviolable demeanor of the Colossus was entirely gone. It couldn't have looked more ugly and distressed, without the dignity of the Tempest God at all.

  "How… How is it possible?"

  All the Immortal Cultivators were greatly shocked.

  It was not exaggerating to say that their whole world was about to collapse!

  The Divinity Transformation Stage had surpassed the limits of normal humans and embarked on a journey to the real world of the legendary deities and devils. In the hearts of the common soldiers, they were the living embodiments of "invincible".

  It was even more so for the battle-type experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage.

  The admin-type, the research-type, or the culture-type experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage might boast their own marvelous techniques, create an unprecedented enterprise, command thousands of starships, and establish a study that would influence the future generations for the next ten thousand years.

  But their causes and studies were mostly too esoteric and indirect. It was not easy for regular people to understand the immensity of their strength.

  The battle-type experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage were different.

  The destructive force, as well as the most primitive sabotages and slaughters, could be displayed right before their eyes in reality and perceived by every nerve ending of every soldier.

  Most of the soldiers that Li Lingfeng brought for the mission of "Dying Light" belonged to his personal troop, which was founded and supplied on his own. They were loyal to him and only listened to his own command. Even other people of the Li family could not tell them what to do.

  It was not hard to imagine the unwavering loyalty and belief the soldiers had for him.

  Li Lingfeng was a god in their hearts, someone who could bring them from victories to triumphs, and from triumphs to eternality!

  But right now…

  At first, the game which was supposed to be an easy win turned into a chaotic war.

  Then, his own base was conquered. "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" was turned upside down, and the massacres were even streamed to the public. It was almost like smacking Li Lingfeng's left cheek and right cheek in turns.

  At this moment, in a head-on clash that was devoid of all tricks, the invincible "god" in their hearts was slashed right in the face by the enemy, and the broken blade was deeply embedded in the head!

  The saber was not just slashed on Li Lingfeng's Colossus, but also on the faces, hearts, and souls of all the Immortal Cultivators!

  "Ugh…"

  Many of the Immortal Cultivators moaned in pain, finding it hard to believe that there was such an insane and tough Cultivator as Li Yao in this world!

  "Ahh!"

  Li Lingfeng pulled the broken saber out of his head, where a black, ugly wound was left behind, from which abundant metal scraps were bursting out. He looked even
more wretched than before.

  He had gone insanely mad, and the flames of spiritual energy each higher than the last erupted again. But there was nothing he could do to eliminate Li Yao's awe-inspiring attack just now.

  "The man is truly… outrageously strong!"

  Inside the Tartarean Skeleton's spiritual residence that was almost boiling, Li Yao vomited blood and grinned in self-mockery.

  Li Lingfeng truly deserved to be one of the best in the prime generation of the Imperium and an experienced expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage.

  In terms of their Colossi's levels, Li Yao's "Tartarean Skeleton" was an original good sealed deep inside the Nuwa warship for more than a hundred thousand years. It should be more advanced than Li Lingfeng's "Tempest God".

  In terms of timing, Li Yao launched a full-strength strike after a long preparation, after throwing out a great secret to disturb Li Lingfeng's mind.

  Li Lingfeng, on the other hand, only managed a hasty counterattack when he was in the disturbance.

  Li Yao had taken advantage of every detail. It was already the best situation he could've created. However, even in the mutual attacks where he had all the advantages, the two parties were still evenly matched, and the Tartarean Skeleton even suffered greater losses.

  Judging from how the Tempest God was jumping and down, roaring in fury, it was not hard to say that the attack did not affect the enemy critically.

  But it was impossible for Li Yao to perform a second attack anytime soon.

  "The enemy turns out to be so strong. It can't be helped. It appears that I have to burn my life and soul crazily to perform my secret ultimate skill!"

  Li Yao swallowed a mouthful of blood. With his eyes constricting into the side of needle tips, he shrieked, "Run!"

  It was indeed thrilling to run immediately after ambushing someone in the Divinity Transformation Stage!

  Chapter 2115: Vomiting Blood In Anger! |

  When an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage, driving a Colossus, the ultimate weapon in the sea of stars, unleashed overwhelming spiritual energy, as if he were determined to die together with his opponent, barely anything could possibly stop him.

  On the other hand, when the Divinity Transformation Stage expert who seemed to have gone mad and determined to die with his enemy suddenly turned around and escaped like a weasel… even fewer things could stop him.

  It was exactly the case for Li Yao's Tartarean Skeleton.

  A second earlier, it was still bursting out with all kinds of dazzling sound and visual effects, as if it were determined to perish together with Li Lingfeng.

  In the next second, it had already turned into a stealthy streak of brilliance, diving into one of the holes on the broken "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky", rushing away at the highest speed!

  The switch from dying with the enemy to running, from valiance to cowardliness, was smooth, natural, and immaculate!

  Even Li Lingfeng was dumbfounded by the actions of the mysterious guy in the Divinity Transformation Stage.

  He had witnessed the demeanors of countless people in the Divinity Transformation Stage in his life. Some of them were fearless of death, some were as crazy as devils, some were as magnificent as mountains, some as vast as oceans, and some as unstoppable as the scorching sun.

  But never had he seen such a weaselly one before!

  Now that the enemy intended to escape, Li Lingfeng naturally had to follow.

  But he immediately found himself in an extremely awkward situation. He couldn't have more concerns.

  It must be noted that, although the mutated prisoners and Li Yao had insanely sabotage and slaughter inside "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" just now, it was a space metropolis that was gargantuan and was as complicated as a maze after all. It couldn't be entirely destroyed in only half an hour.

  At this moment, the main structure of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" was still intact. Although it was falling slowly into the atmosphere, the buffer rune arrays that enshrouded the bloody Flower of the Other Shore had already begun to function and flash, spurting out gentle exhaust flames. Together with the best trajectories of cut-in and landing set by the mainframe crystal processors, the possibility of a safe landing was very high. More than half of the buildings could be ensured to be unharmed.

  Now, many Immortal Cultivators in the space fortress who were far away from the central area were still alive. A lot of them were the descendants of the major families in the Imperium and the leadership of the military. Li Lingfeng certainly did not want to accidentally hurt them.

  So, they became Li Yao's best shields.

  What could Li Lingfeng possibly do?

  Fighting a great battle inside "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky", turning the whole place upside down, blowing up the space fortress completely, and killing all the Immortal Cultivators who might or might not be alive altogether by the way?

  If that happened, Li Lingfeng would not be able to shoulder the crushing wrath of the major families of the Imperium and the fleets of the military at all!

  Everybody knew that he was the greatest patron of the "Heavenly Eye Group". Many Immortal Cultivators had come to the Land of Sins for trials, vacations, and business negotiations out of respect for him. This place was the center for his connections and the most important nest outside of the Li family. How could he possibly destroy the place in person?

  Besides, there were countless advanced facilities and experiment results in the space fortress, all of which were the precious yields of his decades of devotions. They were the greatest leverage for him to compete for the place of "Kurfürst". How could he possibly destroy his decades of hard work?

  Li Lingfeng's heart was bleeding. No. It was having a massive hemorrhage.

  To this moment, he still hadn't figured out where exactly Li Yao could've come from.

  It was obvious that Li Yao did not work for the queen. But if he were really a Cultivator, how could he have boasted the strength in the Divinity Transformation Stage and maneuvered a Colossus of such a remarkable performance?

  Having no place to vent his anger at all, Li Lingfeng felt that his lungs were exploding in his fury.

  The fleet of the Immortal Cultivators was now as awkward as Li Lingfeng.

  At this moment, many of the starships of the Immortal Cultivators had already broken free from the chaos and approached "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky". Having not taken too much severe damage, they still maintained a tough firepower.

  But even if they could wield all their firepower, so what?

  An expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage who was hiding inside a Colossus was not so easy to be locked onto. It was possible that they would've blown up "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" as well as all the hostages of Immortal Cultivators inside before they hit Li Yao!

  Therefore, they could only watch "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" falling deeper and deeper into the atmosphere and crashing to the surface of the planet inevitably.

  Li Yao, on the other hand, seemed to have seen through their awkwardness. He was sabotaging everything on his way while holding his head as he fled inside "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky". The Tartarean Skeleton was now too seriously damaged to have another head-on clash with the Tempest God, but it was certainly more than easy to go on a rampage inside the space fortress, stomp on a few bug-like Immortal Cultivators, or blow up a few pieces of precise but vulnerable magical equipment.

  Following Li Yao's tail, Li Lingfeng watched his lifelong work burning and exploding nonstop. Countless blackened and twisted bodies of the Immortal Cultivators also brushed past his Colossus and crashed apart into ashes. He almost felt like crying and dragging Li Yao to hell with him.

  "Stop there!"

  Li Lingfeng's telepathic thoughts seemed to be howling like ghosts. "Who are you exactly?"

  Hiu!

  Li Yao controlled the Tartarean Skeleton and shrunk it, dodging the three waves of light balls that Li Lingfeng shot out and moving horizontally with
the help of the blast of the explosions. He then plucked the roof of a secret chamber where a hundred Immortal Cultivators were hiding, giving all of them a taste of the blasts that were blown out by Li Lingfeng.

  The Immortal Cultivators were not very high in level, and most of them were even not battle-type. It was not hard to imagine their outcome in the competition of two Colossi.

  Without even looking back, Li Yao chuckled nonstop. "We are both in the Divinity Transformation Stage. Would you please say something more philosophical instead of the meaningless crap like 'stop there' or 'who are you'? How can I possibly stop or tell you who I am?"

  "You—"

  Looking at the hundred Immortal Cultivators being burned into roasted ducks by the exhaust flames of the two Colossi, Li Lingfeng was so exasperated that he almost vomited blood. He shouted, "I will not let go of you. I will certainly make you die the most miserable death and never have a next life!"

  "Do you hear what you are saying? Same crap again! Do you have any constructive topics that we can talk about at all?"

  Li Yao smiled. "In fact, the two of us do not have any conflicts in our fundamental interests. Besides, violence is never a solution to any problem. Why can't we turn havoc into harmony and sit down to talk nicely?"

  Violence is never a solution to any problem…

  Turn havoc into harmony…

  Sit down to talk nicely…

  Looking at the messy, gory environment he was at, Li Lingfeng suddenly felt that he should not communicate with the sordid and stealthy guy in the Divinity Transformation Stage anymore, because he would certainly be pissed to death if they continued!

  "Just activate your computational ability of the Divinity Transformation Stage and think hard!"

  Li Yao, however, continued sending noises to Li Lingfeng's soul. "My purpose was to blow up 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky', which I have accomplished already. Even if you dissect me into pieces and obliterate both my body and my soul, you cannot recover the space fortress to what it used to be in the past! Therefore, I am not necessarily your biggest problem at this moment. Right now, your greatest headache should be Li Linghai, your dear sister and the queen of the Imperium!"
