Forty Millenniums of Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 2477: One Attack Is Enough!

The weird and blood brilliance spread out like ripples that had been dyed by Li Yao’s fighting will, turning into a network of nerves and veins in space.

Then, based on the network, the various magical equipment units and limbs of the Colossus broke the boundary of the three-dimensional space and appeared, like a giant mixed with wrath and discontent that had crawled out of the invisible Styx!

The Colossus “Arsonist” arrived at the battlefield where the fire was densest, right before the hundred main warships of the Flying Rainbow Fleet that were rushing forward!

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

The high-energy reaction that felt like a supernova outbreak left a burning, enlarging figure of a human on the scanning magical equipment of the starships of the two parties. The rhythming waves formed crests that rose to the sky and the bottomless troughs, teaching everyone the meaning of “horror” in the most straightforward way.

Some of the Immortal Cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage even heard the thirsty roars of the Arsonist with their keen senses.

...

“What kind of strength is this?”

Han Te, Liu Li, the leadership of the Flying Rainbow Fleet, and the common soldiers of the two parties were all overwhelmed by the unexpected high-energy reaction and exclaimed in disbelief.

It was not because they had not considered the possibility that a Colossus would show up on the battlefield, but even for the Colossi, this Colossus that had crawled out of the Styx with brighter and brighter flames had shattered all the boundaries of common sense the moment it appeared.

The high-energy reaction was truly unbelievably powerful!

...

“Is this... Li Yao?”

The Fist King quickly analyzed the spiritual waves released by the Arsonist; his cold voice filled with intense confusion. “His Colossus seems to be different from the one with which he sabotaged ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’ or the ‘Gold Vulture’ that appeared with the reformists. It is now almost too powerful to be calculated.

“How is it possible? What kind of odds could’ve possibly caused—”

...

“Haha. Li Yao, Li Yao!”

The Fist King had been in touch with Boss Bai through remote communication. Naturally, his confusion was heard by Boss Bai. While laughing crazily, Boss Bai said, “Odds are for the weak. The real experts, like I told you earlier, are bold enough to roll up their sleeves and do it as long as there is a one-billionth chance!

“Li Yao, there’s no reason why you can’t figure out our status. Since you have distracted so many starships of the Flying Rainbow Fleet to my place, I’m sure you have a way to settle all of them? Come on. Let’s see how much you—the jerk, the lunatic, and the monster—have expanded since you came to the center of the cosmos!”

...

“Why? This isn’t Li Wuji’s Colossus, ‘Lotus Buddha’. We do not have such a Colossus in our database at all!”

“Where does this maniac come from? Is he really going to die with us?”

“Get out of the way, you crazy person!”

The bridge of the Flying Rainbow Fleet was filled with screams too. historical

The leaders of the Flying Rainbow Fleet were, naturally, aware that Li Wuji boasted a Colossus, but Colossi were not absolutely invincible. Now that they were pushing forward while barraging in such a dense battle formation, even Li Wuji with his “Lotus Buddha” had to get out of their way.

Otherwise, even if Li Wuji could take down a few main warships of the Flying Rainbow Fleet, he would have to pay a gory price, causing irreversible wounds to himself as well as his Colossus.

The commander of the Flying Rainbow Fleet could not come up with a single possibility why Li Wuji would play such a dangerous game where nobody was a winner with them.

Little did they expect that standing in the way of the rushing Flying Rainbow Fleet was not “Lotus Buddha”, but a mysterious Colossus whose spiritual waves were... countless times more powerful than the Lotus Buddha!

Hearing the tides of spiritual energy from Li Yao’s heart blasting their bridge nonstop, and looking at the almost exploding data fed back by the scanning magical equipment, how could they not be intimidated?

But the whole fleet had been accelerated to the highest speed, like a bull whose fury had been entirely raised. There was no time to decelerate or change the direction now.

Besides, at such a close distance, the Colossi were much more agile than the starships. They had nowhere to run to at all but could only crash into it while wishing that the enemy was merely disrupting their scanning magical equipment with certain weird techniques, resulting in the wrong data.

“Impossible. It’s absolutely impossible. If such an energy reaction is true, he will be one of the best experts of the Imperium. Why would such an expert appear in such an insignificant battlefield or have the time to bother with our trivial matter?”

“Illusions! Illusions! All are illusions! You can’t trick me!”

On the bridge of the flagship of the Flying Rainbow Fleet, the helpless howls congregated into a rolling torrent.

...

If the two parties did not change their route, the main warships of the Flying Rainbow Fleet, centered at the flagship, would crash into Li Yao’s “Arsonist” in ten seconds.

As a matter of fact, overwhelming light and barrages, which seemed to have filled up the entire universe, had been shot at the Arsonist.

Li Yao inhaled and exhaled, feeling that thousands of his brain cells were blooming in every corner of his brain. In a trance, he entered a very self-contradictory new world.

On one hand, after Xiaoming and Wenwen’s treatment and upgrade, and since part of the secrets of Earth had been unlocked, his understanding about the universe reached a whole new level, allowing him to view the universe more calmly, rationally, and objectively.

The heated space battlefield, and the raging barrages ahead of him, all turned into the purest lines, odds, and numbers, causing not the slightest disturbance.

On the other hand, the crimes that the Immortal Cultivators had committed on the ordinary people—the slaughter game on the Land of Sins, the dark exploitation below the ground of the capital, and how the Immortal Cultivators were capturing the ordinary people, chaining them up and threatening them with their children to fight a war against their wishes.

Such ugliness and evilness raised the deepest and purest fury inside Li Yao’s heart, making the expert who was vaguely beyond the Divinity Transformation Stage so angry that he was like an eighteen-year-old man, with actual fire flowing out of his every pore.

“Don’t the scumbags like you call yourselves the elites of the Imperium and the experts of mankind? Can’t you scramble for power and wealth on your own instead of conducting them in such cruel and detestable ways?

“You say that the resources are limited, you say humanity is full of darkness, but why can’t you summon your courage and wisdom to explore the infinite worlds beyond the three thousand Sectors and search for new resources when the universe is such a vast place? Even if you can’t find any, even if it’s impossible to cross the almost boundless black wall, the civilization of mankind will at least end splendidly!

“You do not have the courage to be pioneers and can only hide in your home and bully the people who are weaker than you. What ‘experts’ are you? Cowards! You are the most sordid, shameless, and hideous cowards!

“Hehe. You cowards are not qualified to enjoy everything at the center of the cosmos at all. Let me send you vile maggots to hell!”

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Faced with the overwhelming barrages and light, the Arsonist instantly turned into an unpredictable phantom that penetrated through the Flying Rainbow Fleet’s battle formation and appeared right before the flagship.

Above the right arm that had been raised high, gold daggers as thin as paper were spurting out of the Cosmos Rings. When the sharp blades emerged at the vortex of spiritual energy, they were like a gold fountain—no, a gold volcano!

The gold volcano unleashed infinite feathers that formed a saber a hundred meters long, and the saber’s burning flames were further boosted to thousands of meters away, clearly visible in the entire battlefield.

The Arsonist raised the saber high and charged at the flagship of the Flying Rainbow Fleet, with light that was even more brilliant than a full-speed starship jetting out of its back. In the most fearless and magnificent gesture, it became the sole focus of everyone on the battlefield.

The two parties were both rushing at the highest speed. Nothing could possibly stop their collision.

“What-What the—”

Both the common warriors who did not know what was going on, such as Han Te and Liu Li, and the leaderships who knew part of the truth and Li Yao’s intention, like Boss Bai and the Fist King, were greatly surprised. The regular way for a Colossus to fight a starship was to dig into it and sabotage the bridge, the arsenal, and the power units. But judging from Li Yao’s gesture, he did not intend to dig in at all. He was trying to destroy the starship from the outside in a head-on clash!

“How is it possible!”

Devastating screams burst out on the bridge of the flagship of the Flying Rainbow Fleet. “What kind of weirdo is this? Have you really lost your mind?”

In the Immortal Cultivators’ cries of disbelief, the thousand meters of spiritual energy simmering between the Arsonist’s hands had been condensed into half-solid gold by Li Yao’s fury. Not bothering to look for any weakness or flaw, he simply slashed it at the head of the Flying Rainbow Fleet’s flagship, where the spiritual shield and the armor were thickest.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

The spiritual energy almost a thousand meters long was a destructive, unstoppable torrent, which tore apart the spiritual shield of the Flying Rainbow Fleet’s flagship after only half a second’s impasse, before leaving the deepest gorge on the super-alloy armor. It was partly because of Li Yao’s own sharpness, but more important, it was because the two parties’ momentums had both been transformed into the most destructive damage. It was almost like Li Yao raised the saber and kept still while the Flying Rainbow Fleet’s flagship crashed it at the highest speed on its own. The only result was that—

Shua!

The furious auras of the saber that had been extended to thousands of meters long directly pierced through the flagship, making a shocking, melted damage appear in the middle part of the flagship, which completely separated the flagship into two parts.

Under the watch of countless people who had been stunned, Li Yao had chopped off the head of the Flying Rainbow Fleet’s flagship!
