Chapter 2336 All the Reasons to Stay Back
When Blackstar the Great made a remark that sounded like the overlapping roars of all the deities and devils in the universe,
Hellstar
suddenly disappeared, and six gigantic swirls appeared in the dark seawater around. From the swirls, six faces in different shapes but equally hideous features gradually surfaced!
Behind the six faces were tails that were connected to the swirls, making them look like six bizarre-shaped monsters that surrounded Long Yangjun’s Colossus
Heavenly Crystal
!
Heavenly Crystal
did not give in at all. More and more glass clusters blossomed on the body, condensing into prongs and horns and expanding the size of the Colossus by several times.
Countless rhombus crystals surrounded her and raged nonstop inside the water. Wherever they reached, the waves were all turned into clear crystals!
Wuying Qi, Blackstar the Great, and Long Yangjun, the heir of the primeval age, had both activated their vitality fields to the maximum. Disrupting and manipulating the materials around them, they built two unique
domains
!
It was not even the competition of the two of them anymore, but the great collision of two realms!
The water around Wuying Qi all turned into a black matter that was as thick as asphalt. The six faces that were made of the black matter got more and more brutal and hideous. One could even notice after careful observation that the six gigantic faces were made of countless incomplete and wriggling bodies!
The water around Long Yangjun, on the other hand, had been frozen into materials that looked like ice and crystal but still retained part of the fluidity of water, making her look both elegant and mysterious.
So, Long Yangjun is actually so strong!
Li Yao was still stuck in the pit at the bottom of the ocean, unable to crawl out, not because he was too seriously wounded, but because the three remaining limbs of the
Gold Vulture
, which had reached the limits of the metal fatigue, were deeply embedded in the hard rocks. If he was to break himself away by force, it was possible that the limbs would be ripped off. He had to control the big guy that was on the brink of destruction to move away from the pit bit by bit carefully.
While adjusting the movements of the
Gold Vulture
, Li Yao observed the battle above his head. He couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
He had thought that with the mental devil as his trump card, he was at an advantageous position in the match against Long Yangjun. It never occurred to him that Long Yangjun did not do her best either, and her previous two ambushes were really just for fun.
However…
Long Yangjun also did not lie to him that however strong she was, there was still a gap between her and Blackstar the Great.
Li Yao estimated that Long Yangjun’s maximal combat ability was above the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage at best, and she had not broken into the Divinity Branching Stage yet.
It was very likely that she had grasped part of the mysteries regarding the tenebrum energy, but she was not able to use it free at will yet.
Blackstar the Great, on the other hand, was doubtlessly an expert in the Divinity Branching Stage even though his strength had been discounted.
After people advanced into the Nascent Soul Stage, their combat ability would not increase infinitely like before. The advantages of higher levels were often the indescribable
senses
,
vision
, and
alarm
.
The Divinity Branching Stage, as the name suggested, allowed the soul to be branched into dozens of parts, thereby significantly expanding the domain. The control over every inch of space inside the entire domain would be more than accurate. One would even be able to be absentminded. While a few branches of the soul were engaged in the fierce battle, another few branches could analyze the whole battle calmly from the perspective of an
observer
.
It was exactly the case right now.
In terms of style, Long Yangjun seemed to be fully carrying out the bloody and aggressive arts in the chess game. Her every attack was as shocking as the launch of a cannon. Occasionally, the result was very satisfying too. She was able to break Wuying Qi’s domain and chop a few metal tentacles off
Hellstar
, sometimes even ripping apart a piece of arc-shaped armor.
Wuying Qi, on the other hand, seemed to be playing go. He expanded his domain without a sound and squeezed Long Yangjun’s room of activity. Sometimes, the cluster of black fog that he seemed to have released casually and meaninglessly would play a vital role in a certain attack later.
After only half a second of collisions, Li Yao already sensed that Long Yangjun’s air was shaking.
More and more crystals were corrupted by the black fog. Black nervures were spreading among the crystals quickly.
As the successor of the primeval civilizations, she certainly had extraordinary arts that were beyond her level.
However, Blackstar the Great was not a simple warrior who crushed the enemy with his sheer advantage in level either. He must have other more devastating moves that he hadn’t performed yet, including
Blackhole’s Heart
, the legendary Colossus that only belonged to him!
This is not going to work out.
Li Yao spat a mouthful of saliva that was mixed with blood and teeth.
Long Yangjun is going to lose!
Are you still concerned about her outcome at such a moment?
The mental devil said in a hurry,
Such a decent Colossus has almost been wasted by you only half a year after it is upgraded. It just occurs to me that you are the bane of crystal suits and Colossi, aren’t you? Anyway, enough talking. Just keep the Gold Vulture and hurry to retreat!
That we can’t do.
Li Yao shook his head quickly without thinking.
Whatever happens, we cannot abandon friendship.
Seriously?
The mental devil shouted,
Just think who Long Yangjun is! You are honoring your friendship with her? Don’t forget that she is possibly a supervillain who is on par with Blackstar the Great, if not higher. Chances are that she is planning a certain treacherous scheme in secret, and coming back to rescue you is all part of the scheme!
Then, it is all the more reason why I cannot abandon her at such a critical moment!
Li Yao coughed and swallowed the blood that had flowed into his throat. He said firmly,
I believe that there are as many elements of a human being inside Long Yangjun as there are the elements of the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan! She hasn’t figured out which path she will walk on yet. Everything is possible. What she will become in the end depends on how the world treats her!
She was brought to the outside world by me, and I will not let her be disappointed by the world outside. Trust me, as long as I move, edify, and transform her with my noble character constantly, she will certainly not disappoint this world!
The mental devil:
… Really? Are you not sure that it will end the opposite way? But even if you want to do anything, what can you do? The Gold Vulture has been reduced to such conditions that it will collapse before it reaches their domains. You can’t help them at all!
Says who?
Grinning hideously, Li Yao closed and rubbed his hands, his fingerbones cracking, before he retrieved a hundred dosages of colorful strengthening drugs before him from his fistful of Cosmos Rings.
Don’t forget that we still have one last… secret weapon!
Slightly stunned, the mental devil realized something and gasped hard.
You are crazy. Absolutely no! That ‘thing’ is clearly still under test with a hundred flaws. It cannot be applied to a real battle at all!
I know.
Li Yao opened the bottom of a strengthening drug with his mouth brutally and swallowed it together with the glass pieces. He then gnashed his teeth and said,
But I’m going to fire it away anyway!
Nobody has ever done it before. We don’t even know whether it’s because nobody ever thought of it or because all the people who tried it before have died in the catastrophic consequences!
The mental devil shrieked,
Besides, the Gold Vulture is missing one leg and two arms right now. The overall framework has been basically shattered. How can it withstand the recoil at all? After the barrage, I don’t know what will happen to Wuying Qi’s Colossus, but the Gold Vulture will certainly be wasted! This is the only Colossus we have, while Blackstar the Great, the queen, and the four Kurfürsten are all our enemies. In other words, we cannot find sufficient resources and legitimate factories to repair the severely damaged Colossus at all. Do you understand?
I understand it perfectly.
Li Yao chugged in dozens of dosages of strengthening drugs. His mouth was cut by the sharp pieces of the tempered glass, and blood was leaking out of his lips, chin, and chest, but he couldn’t care less.
But I’m just going to fire at Blackstar the Great today!
Your body cannot take it either.
The mental devil declared,
Don’t think that it is an awesome achievement to be the youngest expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage in the whole universe. The faster one’s training is, the more side effects there will be, and the more severe the counterattack of spiritual energy is. You cannot take it however special your soul is!
You are quite right. All the reasons make sense too.
Li Yao injected the last few doses of strengthening drugs into his veins, and his veins immediately became as thick as dragons, almost ripping apart his flesh and skin. He roared crazily,
But the battle today is simply too humiliating. Nobody has ever reduced ‘Vulture Li Yao’ to such wretched conditions. How can I talk to other people in the future if I don’t settle the score?
Therefore, whatever the price is and however severe the consequences are, I am going to fire at the head of Blackstar the Great today!
The mental devil:
Do you have to be so exaggerative? Many people have brutalized you before! Yan Xibei, Boss Bai, Xiao Xuance, Elder Nether Spring, Jin Tuyi, Lu Zui, and Long Yangjun. Then, there were Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan and Extraterrestrial Devil Lu Qingchen. So, it is not a big deal to be brutalized by Blackstar the Great right now but perfectly normal. I’m sure that you are already used to it, aren’t you?
Li Yao:
… Damn it. Do not hamstring me when I am making a soul-stirring speech! Do you know what the key is at all? The key is that Blackstar the Great’s ultimate strength is certainly much more than what we have seen. But he must have concerns and therefore is unwilling to perform them.
However, if his battle with Long Yangjun goes on and escalates, he will have to expose his strongest form and fight a life-and-death battle with us. By then, everything will be doomed!
Our opportunity is to take advantage of his state of mind where he is unwilling to do his best and to force him to just swallow his ultimate strength so that he wouldn’t be able to die together with us at all even if he wants to. That’s the only way to turn the situation around today!
It was another very persuasive reason.
The mental devil pondered for a long time and finally shut up.
You understand it now, don’t you?
Li Yao chuckled weirdly, with blood spurting out of his mouth, nostrils, and ears, as if he had put on a crimson mask that made him unrecognizable.
Then just drag out our cannon already. I cannot wait to find out the answer to that question!
The combat ability of a crystal suit could be increased by three to five times through the enhancement of an
Ares Extension
.
If a Colossus was equipped with a gargantuan
Ares Extension
, what a terrifying picture would it be?
