Chapter 2302 - Battle in the Deep Ocean!

Chapter 2302 Battle in the Deep Ocean!
Bo… Bo… Bo… Bo… Bo…!
The feeble pulse signals were only the meaningless waves of the undersea turbulences or animals for other people, but Li Yao could vaguely distinguish the familiar pace in them.
The pace was the signal of communication that he and the Cultivators of the Ancient Sages Sector agreed upon when he returned to the Heaven’s Origin Sector ready to resist the Black Wind Fleet.
Considering that all methods of communication could be interrupted, they had set up almost twenty different ways of communication. Such signals were exactly one of them.
In the Imperium of True Human Beings, only two people would have known the signals. Besides him, it was Long Yangjun.
So, you are hiding here?
Li Yao’s eyes glowed.
As the saying went,
when a tree falls, all the monkeys on it will run away
. When Dongfang Wang’s cabinet was about to collapse, the Association of Demon Hunters naturally would not cling to their reliance, which was already shaking, anymore.
After all, their loyalty was never to Dongfang Wang himself but to the four Kurfürst families.
When the cannibal training and the incident of the Blood Oath Alliance were exposed and fermented, a series of power struggles burst out within the Association of Demon Hunters. The faction loyal to Dongfang Wang was purged. The whole organization was in a panic and on the brink of collapse.
What was weird was that
Dongfang Mingyue
, president of the Association of Demon Hunters, disappeared in advance as mysteriously and unpredictably as she landed on the organization.
Li Yao had been searching for Dongfang Mingyue—or Long Yangjun—to no avail. He thought that the erratic, androgynous guy had long escaped. It never occurred to Li Yao that she was so
loyal
to Dongfang Wang that she was staying by his side to this moment.
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao decided to go to Long Yangjun.
Long Yangjun was definitely not a good guy. She was even possibly a malicious alien species.
But for some reason, Li Yao still felt that she was more trustworthy than the four Kurfürst families and Li Linghai.
Although the deep ocean where the pulse signals came from entailed a great threat, the risks would be worth it.

Li Jialing, it suddenly occurred to me that there’s something I need to do. Just play with yourself here for a while.

Li Yao boosted the Gold Vulture to swim deeper into the ocean.
I’ll be back soon!


Huh?

Li Jialing was dumbfounded.
Brother Yao, what-what are you going to do? And what am I supposed to do here?


I’m going to enjoy the coolness in the deep ocean.

Li Yao said,
As for you, just observe the battle and find a place where the enemies are fewer and weaker to fight. Then, just pretend that your crystal suit is too seriously damaged to fight anymore and go back to the surface of the ocean. Remember, don’t run to the center of the battlefield where it is most heated. Dongfang Wang’s subordinates are all desperate mad dogs. They can be dreadful!

Li Yao’s voice was still echoing when the wings of the Gold Vulture already retreated into the shape of fish fins, allowing the Colossus to dash into the ocean.
Two thousand meters, three thousand meters, five thousand meters…
It was already the deep ocean where there was absolutely no sunlight. The water pressed the Gold Vulture from all directions like half-consolidated iron, squeezing the shell of the Colossus that emitted squeaky noises and giving a strong sense of suffocation.
The sense of suffocation of this place was even stronger than the
earthly dragons
below the ground of the Land of Sins.
After all, the rocks there were solid and would not really fall although they looked intimidating.
However, in this place, after every meter he descended, the pressure of the water would grow by a little bit. Although the Gold Vulture had adopted the shells and the anti-pressure kits made of superalloys, it seemed to be kneaded into the size of a fist any minute.
Is this… Long Yangjun’s real strength?
Li Yao was greatly alarmed. He did not expect Long Yangjun to be capable enough of sending her telepathic thoughts to his Colossus accurately through such thick water.
He was even more curious about what the guy was up to.
Maximizing his senses, he looked down and could vaguely sense the bottom of the ocean.
However, at the center of the rugged bottom of the ocean lied a narrow, long trench, which boasted a feeble attraction force and absorbed seawater nonstop, as if it were a bottomless hole leading to the core of the planet.
Bo… Bo… Bo… Bo… Bo…
The pulse signals came from the trench and were as enticing as the songs of a siren.
Frowning, Li Yao dived into the trench in the Gold Vulture.
The faults on the two sides of the trench were like vertical precipices. Maximizing the searchlight on the Gold Vulture, Li Yao could vaguely see countless bones of primeval beasts, as well as enormous artificial buildings and utensils, embedded in the faults.
Several of the huge objects looked like twisted, broken starships. There were also the bones of giants, which reflected creepy brilliance under the searchlight. Li Yao was rather shocked at first but then realized that they were all the debris of the Colossi from hundreds of thousands of years ago.
It appeared to be a primeval battlefield that hadn’t been discovered yet.
Since the Empyreal Terminus Sector was an
intersection
of the three thousand worlds, it was not strange that the place used to be a main battlefield in the primeval war hundreds of thousands of years ago.
It appeared that Long Yangjun had recovered a lot of
primeval memories
to find this unvisited primeval battlefield. But what treasures had she found from this battlefield?
Li Yao glanced at the control menu. It was already nine thousand and nine hundred meters below sea level.
The ocean below his feet suddenly glowed. At first, it was just a tiny spot of light. But it soon turned into the most glamorous crystal and dashed at the Gold Vulture as quickly as a bolt of lightning, completely ignoring the blockage and pressure of the seawater!
Shua!
In the exact moment, the glamorous crystal passed by the Gold Vulture, leaving a devastating damage on the breastplate of the Colossus with brute force. Although it was probably a minor damage on the ground, it might’ve led to catastrophic consequences at the deep ocean almost ten thousand meters below sea level!

Long Yangjun!

Li Yao was both shocked and exasperated. His telepathic thoughts soared to the glamorous crystal like overwhelming undercurrents.
You have tricked me to this place because you want to die together with me?


Hehehehe. I said last time that I would like to try your ‘gold bird’. How can I not honor my words?

Long Yangjun’s giggling voice was shot into the
Gold Vulture
through the iron-like water in the waves of telepathic thoughts.
We’ve been fighting since the first second we met. Later, deep inside the Nuwa warship, we only reached cooperation after we revealed all our trump cards only to discover that neither of us could defeat the other person, didn’t we?

Now, we have come to a greater stage and gotten brand-new techniques. How can we talk about cooperation if we do not fight and get to know each other better? I do not want to hamstring you or to be hamstrung by you!

That is why I have prepared the battlefield that absolutely nobody will disrupt. I am not playing any trick this time. It is just a competition of pure strength. Watch closely, I’m coming!

Hardly had she concluded her sentence when Long Yangjun charged at him again.
While she was talking, Li Yao had already seen clearly that the Colossus she was using was not the high-speed scout model
Yin Yang
that he discovered from the Nuwa warship in the Ancient Sages Sector, but a new, more elegant, and more classical model!
The Colossus was about twenty-five meters high, slightly shorter than the Gold Vulture. It did not adopt any regular superalloy material at all but seemed to be entirely made of transparent crystals that were changing their colors all the time.
Once somebody was attracted by the dazzling light, their soul would be entirely under the mercy of Long Yangjun.
Li Yao shuddered hard, only to discover that Long Yangjun had already reached right in front of him with the weird Colossus. It was really fast!
He turned his wings into two shields and protected the body in time. But still, he was knocked dozens of meters into the rocks on one side of the cliffs because of the clash. The rocks fell apart, the seawater was rolling, and the mud blocked everything around. His senses were reduced to almost zero!
Li Yao roared crazily, and his wings immediately split apart into hundreds of streaks of light. The metal feathers that looked like willow leaves were darted out and protected his body within a web. He jumped out of the fault and immediately locked onto the diamond-like Colossus. The breastplate of the Gold Vulture opened, and the gold cannon inside hit the target precisely!
BOOM!
The previously colorful Colossus was blown into gold under the attack!
But after a moment, the gold color dimmed, and the Colossus was utterly undamaged!
Not only was it undamaged, the Colossus even had weird changes after absorbing the energy of the attack. The shell of the Colossus flowed like water and assembled into a new
fin
and a
tail
, exactly like a siren in the deep ocean.

This is a Colossus that I found after I came to the center of the cosmos. Its name is ‘Heavenly Crystal’.

Long Yangjun chuckled.
How about it? It is as good as your ‘Gold Vulture’, isn’t it?

In the next second, the Colossus turned into a streak of brilliance and charged at Li Yao again!
One blue and the other gold, the two streaks of brilliance were engaged in the fierce battle ten thousand meters below the ocean and collided a hundred times in only three seconds!
It had been a long time since Li Yao last gritted his teeth so hard.
He finally understood why Li Linghai had such a high remark on Long Yangjun and believed that she was a great
threat
.
Long Yangjun, with her primeval memories awakened and her dual bloodlines of Nuwa and Pangu activated, was certainly no longer the
Lead Eunuch Wang Xi
that was second to
Sword Manic
Yan Liren in the Ancient Sages Sector.
Her every movement carried the most ancient and dominating air, as if a real god were standing before Li Yao.
Her goddamn Colossus was also erratic and boasted the weird technique to absorb the enemy’s attacks. It was truly horrifying!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
After the 1,001st collision, Li Yao was blown into the fault and punched by a storm of fists again. Cracks appeared all over the Gold Vulture, and the squeaky noises caused by the heavy pressure of the seawater were particularly earsplitting.

It appears that your ‘gold bird’ is not good enough.

Long Yangjun appeared right next to Li Yao like a ghost. She was even bold enough to crane the head of her Colossus to the head of the Gold Colossus and said in a low voice,
If this is your best, how are you qualified to cooperate with me and explore the greatest secret of the universe?

At the moment, the killing intent behind Long Yangjun’s lighthearted words seemed to have really been raised to the maximum.
In the meantime, the sharpest voice also burst out in Li Yao’s head.
Go to hell. He is mine!
