Chapter 1824: Black Satan!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was a highly illogical view. The extraterrestrial devils were no demons. They did not specialize in biotechnology. Besides, even the demons could hardly develop so many messy, stinky organs in such a short amount of time, which had sprawled in the entire warship like a rainforest of organs!

“Hey, did you see it?” Li Yao asked softly.

“Yes. Like a slaughterhouse with surging devilish auras,” Yan Liren remarked coldly.

“Look carefully.” Li Yao aimed the enormous chainsword at an organ not far away that was protruding abruptly like an enormous eyeball. “What’s this? Doesn’t it look like an eye?”

“An eye?” Yan Liren’s voice was mixed with intense confusion. “Why do I feel that it looks more like a heart with dense veins and stripes on it? It is even cramping and beating. How does it look like an eye?”

“That’s right,” Long Yangjun said calmly. “From my perspective, the organ that Li Yao refers to is neither an eye nor a heart, more like a cluster of rotten intestines.

“The same organ is in three different forms in our eyes. Therefore, all of this is just an illusion. Black Swirl did not go through any unexpected change. It is just a terrible hallucination that has been injected into our minds. The extraterrestrial devils have already begun to infiltrate and attack us!”

“Yes. The extraterrestrial devils implanted the idea of ‘internal organs of a space behemoth’ into our heads, trying to disrupt our minds, but they cannot etch the same vivid image into the heads of the three of us simultaneously,” Li Yao observed. “What we see is imagined by ourselves. Whatever ‘rotten, stinky organs’ look like in our minds will be displayed on our retina and perceived by the optical nerves.

“Is this some sort of ‘half-step virtual space’? It’s almost a combination of reality and illusion. This extraterrestrial devil that has been attached to Lu Qingchen is indeed stronger than the one inside Professor Mo Xuan!

“Now that we have seen such nauseous illusions at the same time, the waves of tenebrum energy in this place must be very strong. We are very close to the extraterrestrial devil’s nest on the bridge!”

“We must defend our souls very well and be extra careful,” Long Yangjun said. “Anything we see from now on could be an illusion!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three of them opened full fire, clearing a path with a storm of bullets, swords, and spiritual energy. After burning up the illusionary putrid organs, blowing up almost five cabin doors, and passing through a pathway that was full of wrinkles on the surface and looked like intestines, they found the bridge of Black Swirl right ahead of them.

The bridge had lost the solemnity, indifference, and aggressiveness of the Imperium of True Human Beings’ style and become a devilish nest piled up with corpses, skeletons, and internal organs. Countless bloody, moist organs were dangling down from the cabin walls like vines. In the middle of the bleeding ‘vines’, a lot of enormous cocoons were hanging. Tiny heads were exposed at the tops of the cocoons, which apparently belonged to the leadership of Black Swirl and the commanders of the entire Black Wind Fleet.

There was no telling what kind of torture they had gone through in reality, but in the weird environment that was a combination of reality and illusion, they were tangled in intestines and tentacles that were full of flagella and melded with the nest.

The intestines and tentacles were even sucking the spiritual energy inside their bodies nonstop, as if they were trying to dissolve the captives’ muscles, veins, nerves, and internal organs into liquid and pump them away.

Their miserable expressions and their desperate cries even made Li Yao feel as if his hair was standing up, and he could not bear it any longer although he was on the opposing side.

Countless meat tentacles that looked like biochemical nerves were connected from the cabin walls to the Colossus more than twenty meters tall at the center of the room.

The Colossus had a unique shape. There was not a head above its shoulders, making it impossible to add all kinds of honeycomb-type launchers onto it. The torso was as round as an enormous skull. Four thick arms were installed on a ring at the top of the torso and could be twisted to any angle. At the bottom of the torso was another ring, from which eight limbs that were as narrow and long as the legs of spiders extended.

The abdomen of the Colossus, which had the shape of an ugly face with slanted facial organs, was brimming with weird rune arrays.

At first glance, it was like an enormous head that had grown arms and feet. No. Not arms and feet, but twelve multipurpose limbs!

“It’s Black Satan, Heiye Ming’s Colossus!”

As the Sector Master of the Black Wind Fleet and the commander of the Black Wind Fleet who had intimidated five Sectors, Heiye Ming was naturally not a strengthless leader who could only command. He was also a magnificent pilot of the Colossus.

Black Satan was the most mysterious Colossus in the Black Wind Fleet. Even Heiye Lan, as Heiye Ming’s own daughter, did not know much about it.

That was because, since more than a hundred years ago, occasions were rare when Heiye Ming had needed to resort to the ‘Black Satan’!

At that moment, tremendous tenebrum energy surged out of the stinky organs around. The lives of the Immortal Cultivators seemed to have been sacrificed to embed their souls on the surface of Black Satan, turning into a layer of living ‘reactive armor’.

Crack. Crack. Crack!

Deep inside Black Satan, enhanced by the tenebrum energy of the extraterrestrial devils, weird noises of bones being crushed echoed. The eight limbs at the bottom shrank at the same time and supported the Colossus to its feet.

For a moment, devilish fire was surging into the sky!

“Well…” Li Yao glanced at Long Yangjun and Yan Liren. “Should I say something in such a situation?”

“Hooo!”

Before he opened his mouth, the facial organs at the center of the thick torso of Black Satan emitted dazzling brilliance at the same time. The bloody mouth made of tenebrum energy opened abruptly, and black rings of light magnified nonstop and came at the three of them like a superstorm!

In the moment, all three of them saw thousands of hideous, agitated devils inside the dark rings that jumped at them like tides and infiltrated their every muscle, vein, nerve, and internal organ!

“This is a life-and-death battle,” Li Yao said. “It seems that we don’t have any option except to resort to our ultimate skills now. Shall we begin?”

“Yes,” Long Yangjun replied. “Let’s begin!”

“Such overwhelming devilish auras!”

The flames of spiritual energy from the Tartarean Skeleton were polluted by the clusters of devils and turned into dim, brown colors. Li Yao bellowed in the communication channel angrily, “The enemy is unexpectedly strong. We’re screwed this time!”

“Indeed!” Long Yangjun shrieked, too. “I didn’t know that the enemy still had such thorough arrangements or that they would be so unbelievably, devastatingly strong. We are truly dead for sure this time!”

“Yes. We are as doomed as anyone can ever be. We will die in this place without a grave!” Li Yao breathed heavily. “Unless a miracle happens, we can never hope to defeat it. It will stomp on us and kill us easily like an elephant stomps on a tiny ant!”

“The extraterrestrial devils are doubtlessly the sure winners of the battle!” Long Yangjun sobbed, moaned and cried. “They are much stronger than our worst nightmares. They do not need any moves or skills at all. They will crush us as long as they approach us!”

“Hey!” Yan Liren could not bear it any longer. “What’s wrong with you two? Is the enemy so strong? Why do I feel that it is still acceptable? Heiye Ming is an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage, I’ll give you that, but he was heavily wounded in the war against the Covenant Alliance a hundred years ago. After catching his breath to this day, he dedicated most of his attention and computational ability to commanding the starship and the political struggles. He has also been over-exhausted in the space battle just now and is running out of strength. In terms of his ability to use a Colossus… he is at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage at most and on the same level as us!

“Even if he has the enhancement of the extraterrestrial devils, we have the sheer advantage in numbers, too. Why should we fear him so much? Look. We have adapted to his pace and are even suppressing him. Black Satan and the extraterrestrial devil are just so-so. Our advantages are very great!”

“Mind your words!” Li Yao and Long Yangjun were both greatly shocked. While dodging the attacks of the twelve limbs of the Black Satan that looked like a gyro, they yelled at the same time. “Fellow Cultivator Yan, you can slash your sword however you want to, but you must not speak nonsense. Our enemy is obviously at such great advantage that it will only take the blink of an eye for them to kill us all. We are merely struggling before death and having our last attempt!”

“What the heck are you talking about?” Yan Liren shouted. “Ahhh!”

From the core unit of Black Satan, a crack suddenly showed up on the top, revealing circuits inside that curled like gyri. Almost a hundred black lightning bolts swooped out of the ‘gyri’ and hit the chest of Big Sword, Yan Liren’s Colossus, blowing the twenty-meter-tall giant hundreds of meters away immediately. Yan Liren crashed through quite a few cabins and fell into a mess of crystal cables and spiritual energy tubes, unable to get on his feet for a long time.

“What—what’s this about?” Yan Liren stammered.

“Did you see?” Li Yao said. “This is a very special curse that involves luck and fate and all the other mysterious functioning mechanisms of the universe. We don’t know the details, but all you need to do is compliment the enemy and belittle yourself together with us!”

“Like this.” Yin Yang, Long Yangjun’s Colossus, turned into dozens of blurred shadows and surrounded Black Satan from all directions. The black sword and the white sword, taking advantage of the moment when Heiye Ming blew away Yan Liren with his ultimate skill, slashed forward like a fiery tornado and chopped off one of the enemy’s limbs.

Meanwhile, Long Yangjun grunted, “He is so strong. I can’t hold on any longer!”

“You must hang in there!” historical

Although a hundred orange light balls were focused around the Tartarean Skeleton, the most tremendous spiritual energy was stored in them. When the light balls turned into pillars and smashed Black Satan overwhelmingly, Li Yao roared passionately and blood-boilingly. “Although the enemy is too terribly strong for us to defeat him, as long as there is a one billionth chance of winning, we must hold on. A miracle will certain happen as long as we persist!”

While bombarding Black Satan crazily, making it barely possible for Heiye Ming to stand straight, the two of them shouted and cried crazily in the communication channel, praising the invincibility of the enemy and cheering each other up.

Yan Liren looked at the two Colossi that were jumping up and down like big monkeys in a daze, lost for words for a long time.

“Fellow Cultivator Yan, what are you waiting for? Give it a shot. It’s very effective!” Li Yao shouted.

“…No, I refuse.”
