BOOM!
The cracks on the surface of the super enormous saber that was deeply stabbed into the ground suddenly glittered. Crimson brilliance was beaming out, as if the inextinguishable fire at the core of the planet was surging out through the gaps inside the saber!
After a moment of stalemate, the super enormous saber suddenly expanded and exploded after a deafening explosion!
The remnants of thousands of soldiers of the past, burnt to thousands of degrees by the scorching flames, turned into orange iron torrents that floated in midair again like a blossoming flower!
Even Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao was blown away by the iron torrents and rolled more than a hundred times in the swirl of spiritual energy. His Basaltic Fighting God Battlesuit was riddled with holes by the scraps of the weapons. One of his left arms had been chopped off!
When he finally regained his balance, he discovered, to his shock, that Li Yao had soared to the sky from below the ground and was standing at a height that was even higher than his own!
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit on Li Yao's body was almost deformed. Some of the scraps were even deeply embedded into his flesh. Even his facial cover was half broken, revealing his glittering eyes!
He seemed to have just been fished out of magma. Every inch of his skin that was exposed to the air was emitting hot air. His aura was expanding crazily at a speed that even Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao could not understand! Expansion! Expansion!
In all directions, the remnants of the war left by the Union Army two hundred years ago were attracted by Li Yao's surging spiritual energy and hovering around him like a belt of meteoroids around a planet. They collided, melted, and formed a new shape!
It was the shape of an unparalleled saber!
"Impossible … Impossible … Ahhh!"
Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao burned his life and spiritual energy without bothering about anything. His aura was even beyond the limits of the Basaltic Fighting God Battlesuit!
Torn apart by the intense electric arcs and exhaust flames, the super battlesuit began to disintegrate, fall apart, and collapse inch by inch!
With this as the price, his will extended in all directions like an octopus, sweeping towards the depths of the earth.
More remnants of the weapons of the past rose from the depths of the earth and flew to his front. They collided with each other and were squeezed by the spiritual energy into a saber that was even larger, more violent, and more domineering!
Two hundred years ago, the remnants of the magical equipment that the Union Army had used to win the Battle of Broken Wind had become the best weapon for two Cultivators in a life-and-death battle!
In the fierce wind, thunder, and storm, two sabers that were hundreds of meters long took shape quickly, surrounded by their will, ideals, and strength!
"Iron Commander!"
Li Yao's eyes were soaked in blood, emitting brilliance that could extinguish the lightning. He roared, "It is not me who has really tarnished the spirit of the Federation and corrupted the foundation of the Federation, but you, the guys who call yourselves' patriots'!"
"You claim that you are not swayed by hatred but determined that such an action will bring the greatest benefits to the Federation after careful calculations and repetitive deductions!
"If so, why do you not dare to discuss everything openly in parliament? Why do you not dare to tell the public the whole truth?
"It's very simple! Because you know very well that, after the public figures out the truth and learns about the 'same-origin theory' and the Pantheon of Demons' stance of surrender, they will never agree to your conquest plan. They will never be willing to fight a war that will lead to endless trouble and enslave the ordinary people of another world at the cost of the lives of countless compatriots of the Federation!
"All of you are well aware of this! You have been on the opposite side of most people since the very beginning! That is why you do not have the courage to announce it to the public. You can only achieve your purpose through deceit, schemes, and clandestine approaches! "
The super enormous saber in front of Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao 'grew' a few more secondary blades that looked like tusks after a few cracking sounds!
He was fully focused on strengthening the saber. Faced with Li Yao's interrogation, he was silent.
"Maybe you are right. Once the war begins, we will be able to march forward and defeat the Blood Demon Sector at a minimal cost!"
Li Yao's will illuminated the world that was as dark as ink like lightning. His roars intimidated the rocks in the dozens of square kilometers nearby and bombarded Zhou Hengdao's soul one after another. "But what's the use of conquering the Blood Demon Sector?
"The strength of a tiny Blood Demon Sector is far from enough to help us resist the Imperium of True Human Beings! What we will lose, on the other hand, is the trust between us, the spirit and foundation that has supported the Xing Yao Federation for five hundred years!
"If we know that demons are transformed from human beings and that the bottom-level demons are just ordinary people in a different form, but we intentionally conceal the fact and butcher them and even their innocent offspring into slaves, the spirit of the Federation will completely collapse, and the Xing Yao Federation will be truly doomed! Everything that we have been protecting and trying to save will be destroyed. We will destroy it ourselves!
"This is your path! If you walk down this path, you will only establish a smaller-sized Imperium of True Human Beings instead of a larger Xing Yao Federation! "
BOOM!
Their ultimate sabers were finally completed. The two sabers hundreds of meters long each swallowed the infinite lightning and thunder in the sky. The auras of the sabers reached almost a thousand meters away and collided with each other in thunderous noises.
Li Yao smiled. In that second, his brain was empty, as if he had melded with the world and the entire ancient battlefield. He seemed to have sensed countless heroes, including the Union Army and the Cultivators who had participated in the 'Battle of Broken Wind' two hundred years ago, standing behind him and shouting and resonating with him!
"Did you know, Iron Commander? In my eyes, you 'patriots' are all cowards!"
Li Yao stared at Zhou Hengdao coldly, as if he were looking at a skeleton in a grave. He said, one word after another, "You said that I had no confidence in the Federation? No. I have too much confidence in the Federation and in the fire of our civilization that we have ignited! I firmly believe that the burning fire will illuminate every corner of the Blood Demon Sector in less than a few decades. All the demons will recognize the civilization and pride of mankind and become members of the Federation willingly to fight to the end to defend the Federation and the fire of the civilization of mankind!
"This is my confidence. You don't have such confidence. None of you!
"You claim that the Federation is great and the fire of the civilization of mankind is glorious, but you are scared of a tiny Blood Demon Sector. You do not even have the confidence to completely integrate a few demons!
"If your belief is so weak, how can you resist the Imperium of True Human Beings in the future and even march to the center of the universe, the hometown of the Imperium of True Human Beings?
"You —"
Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao completely abandoned the collision of beliefs. His eyes bulged out, and his hair was bristling. He raised the Five Tigers Prison Cutting Saber high, his fighting will soaring to the highest point.
In front of him, the battle saber hundreds of meters long was raised high, too. The aura of the saber soared into the sky, tearing a giant hole in the overwhelming dark clouds.
Li Yao raised the Blood Moon Dragon Hunting Saber, too. The super enormous battle saber hundreds of meters long in front of him rose to the sky, too.
Hundreds of bolts of lightning appeared in the thunderclouds. They were attracted, swallowed, transformed, and triggered by the two sabers, adding fuel to the fire of the two saber auras!
In that second, the whole world seemed to have been awed by their fighting will. There was a brief moment of stillness.
Every raindrop was frozen in midair, only to be shattered by the surging auras of the saber into a hazy fog that covered dozens of square kilometers nearby!
"Shua!"
In the hazy fog, the two streaks of brilliance accelerated to the maximum at the same time. Like two shooting stars that were moving toward each other, they crashed into each other with a destructive aura!
The moment of the collision was like a soundless painting. There was not the slightest anomaly in the surroundings. The only things that could be seen were the two unparalleled sabers and the two ragged Crystal Suits.
Behind Li Yao, on the central axis of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, more cracks appeared on Black Wing, which looked like weird patterns. Infinite spiritual energy rushed out of the cracks and formed black wings almost a hundred meters long!
After a crack, something inside Black Wing seemed to have been broken. The wings of spiritual energy immediately expanded to more than three hundred meters long and interweaved into exhaust flames one kilometer long!
"Ahhh!"
Deep inside Li Yao's brain, something seemed to have been broken, too. He let out a deafening roar, and the whole world was awakened by his roar. For a moment, airwaves were surging, the clouds were exploding, the rocks were floating, and the snakes, insects, rats, and ants lurking in the mud were all blown into smithereens!
The two giant sabers collapsed at the same time, turning into burning meteors that scattered like flowers.
The two streaks of brilliance passed by each other. Both sabers maintained the perfect posture of slashing, like two silhouettes that had been deeply etched in the sky.
To the south of the Dark Desolate Domain, Ding Ling Dong and several experts from the inland were rushing forward, followed closely by the Union Army, who had received the Speaker's' command 'to set things right.
Suddenly, Ding Ling Dong and the other experts came to a stop at the same time. They looked at the north in shock.
"Such powerful spiritual waves. What is it exactly?"
To the north of the Dark Desolate Domain, on Burning Prairie, despite the serious interference of the powerful thunderstorm, the earth-shattering spiritual waves were still perceived!
Luoxingzi, Ji Wende, and the other Cultivators from the Flying Star Sector narrowed their eyes and turned to the source of the spiritual waves.
"Is it a powerful thunderstorm, or …?"
Everywhere in the Dark Desolate Domain, the troops that were taking part in the drill detected the spiritual waves at the same time. The commanders of the troops were deep in thought and suspicious, too.
At the center of the spiritual waves, the ultimate collision of the two Yuanying Cultivators even disrupted the weather and caused a temporary 'microclimate'. The clouds in the one square kilometer around were gone, and the sky was clear after the storm. Sunlight pierced through the bodies of the two Cultivators that were riddled with holes.
"Pu!"
Li Yao vomited blood. The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit exploded into pieces. He could not hold on any longer and slowly descended from the sky. On one of his knees, he breathed hard. His spiritual energy was so exhausted that he could barely control his bladder.
In layman's terms, he had almost peed himself because of Zhou Hengdao's beating!
Pa da!
While he was concentrating on his abdomen and calming himself down, trying to control his bladder and urethra, Zhou Hengdao fell heavily in front of him after a deafening noise. The Five Tigers Prison Cutting Saber, which had been broken into two halves, fell down one after another and stabbed into the ground around the two of them.
Zhou Hengdao's Basaltic Fighting God Battlesuit had completely been reduced to garbage. With the last bit of his strength, he ripped off the twisted facial cover, revealing an old face that was as dry as an oil lamp.
He extended his iron hands that were almost melted to Li Yao. His dry lips moved for a long time, before he shouted softly from the depths of his throat, "Federation …"
The pupils of Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao, the Chief of the General Staff of the Union Army, gradually dilated.
Before his physical body perished, his soul had been completely crushed by Li Yao's saber aura. It was impossible for him to be transformed into a spectral Cultivator at all.
Li Yao sighed and vomited another mouthful of black blood. Breathing evenly, he crawled close and closed Zhou Hengdao's only eye.
