"You are asking to be killed. Now that you are suspicious of my words, I will show you the toughness of the deities' methods."
Emperor Phoenix burst into laughter. His helmet closed into the shape of a sharp bird's head again, and he pulled the trigger brutally.
The ten or so Crystal Suit were all switched to the heavy firepower mode. The bullets and the arcs swept across the field like a storm.
The surveillance light screen was instantly enveloped by a colorful stream of light.
A hundred volcanoes seemed to be erupting inside the warehouse of the Colossi at the same time. Scorching magma was flowing out unstoppably.
The power of the magical equipment from the Imperium of True Human Beings, a modern Cultivation civilization, was not something that the locals of the Ancient Sages Sector could imagine or resist.
When the storm bolters started talking, some of the ignorant Cultivators did not even realize what was going on yet.
It was not until the whips of light slapped them brutally and cut the weaker ones in half, with smoke popping up from the cut surfaces that were as smooth as mirrors, that the rest of the Cultivators finally realized the utmost fear.
"Not good!"
"Get out of the way!"
"What — what kind of magical equipment is this? It is so quiet and unparalleled in speed!"
Suppressed by the crazy firepower of the Crystal Suit, almost a hundred locals of the Ancient Sages Sector were fleeing in panic and looking for the cover of their Colossi.
Those who were slightly slower would often be ripped into shreds by the crossfire of the storm bolters and the honeycomb-type flying swords.
The armor and magical equipment that they had refined themselves could not resist the ferocious attacks of the Crystal Suit at all. They were as vulnerable as paper.
Only the primeval treasures collected from the ancient battlefields could resist the roars of the storm bolters, crystal cannons, and other modern weapons of spiritual energy.
The insignificant counterattacks launched by the locals of the Ancient Sages Sector, on the other hand, were often blocked by the enemy's Crystal Suit. Other than raising feeble ripples of light on the surface of the Crystal Suit, there was no further effect.
Qi Zhongdao, Ba Xiaoyu, Yan Liren, and Master Bitter Cicada's side, and Han Baling, Qi Changsheng, and Wan Mingzhu's side were all caught unprepared. They did not expect the 'weird' armor to boast such power at all.
'Mother White Lotus' Wan Mingzhu, in particular, had just jumped into the air when two Fiery Phoenix imperial guards lunged at her. Two arc-shaped saber auras more than two meters long were unleashed from the two sides of her gauntlets, instantly sealing off all her paths of escape.
Wan Mingzhu snorted coldly. She opened her distorted mouth and spat out a gray whirlwind that seemed to be formed by mosquitoes. < br >
However, as soon as it spread to the other party's body, it was completely burned by the spirit flames.
Instead, from the depths of the breastplates of the two Fiery Phoenix imperial guards, several sharp and sharp sound waves were released. The attacks intersected and directly forced Wan Mingzhu's soul out of the puppet.
Dozens of light whips immediately whipped toward Wan Mingzhu's true body from all directions.
Wan Mingzhu screamed and shrank back in a sorry state.
However, the few golden corpses that were inseparable and almost refined into clones were shattered by the light whip without even making a sound.
Mother White Lotus's face was pale. She was so infuriated that her soul was shivering nonstop. White smoke popped up from her head, condensing into shivering lotus flowers that looked like mushrooms that had grown out of her head.
Qi Zhongdao and Han Baling looked at each other. The leaders of the righteous path and the evil path both realized how tricky it was to deal with Emperor Phoenix and the dreadfulness of the force behind him.
Without any hesitation, Qi Zhongdao roared at the high-level Cultivators of the six major sects who were at a loss behind him. "What are you waiting for? Do you really think that the emperor will let go of you? The emperor will only dismember the six major sects and reward the new subjects who serve him!"
The Three Saints, the Three Rapscallions, and Master Bitter Cicada, the seven super Yuanying experts who represented the peak of the Ancient Sages Sector, suddenly dispersed and attacked Emperor Phoenix's imperial guards from various directions.
Led by them, the high-level Cultivators of the six major sects also recalled their conflicts with Emperor Phoenix in the past. Some of them had even been secretly communicating with the Dark Cloud Prairies. Now that Han Baling had the evidence that they had been keeping secret, it was impossible for them to settle the score peacefully. Therefore, they simply followed the seven experts and charged at the imperial guards.
Although the imperial guards were equipped with the Crystal Suit, their Cultivation did not seem to be very high. They were no higher than the beginning level of Yuanying at best. Also, they were not familiar with the usage of the Crystal Suit yet. < >
In addition, there were only a dozen of them after all, while there were more than a hundred high-level Cultivators on the opposite side, including Qi Zhongdao and Han Baling, who were all super Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.
The defense line of the Crystal Suit of the Imperium of True Human Beings was on the verge of collapse under the repeated assaults of the locals of the Ancient Sages Sector without bothering about the casualties.
Ba Xiaoyu the Beggar, Heaven Battering King Qi Changsheng, and the rest of them were all fighting in the most shameless way. They did not fight the imperial guards head-on at all but tried to bypass them from the flanks and find the guy who had crawled into the black-skeleton-like Colossus directly.
When the Cultivators at the peak of the Yuanying Stage performed their movement techniques to the maximum, they would be as unpredictable as smoke and mist. Even the Crystal Suit could barely lock onto them.
In order to stall them, Emperor Phoenix had to send out a few more Fiery Phoenix Iron Guards. As a result, the defense line in the front became weaker and weaker.
Finally.
Mottled sparks popped up from the abdomen of one of the Crystal Suits of the Imperium. In earsplitting noises of metal being twisted, the movement of the suit gradually slowed down.
The critical units must have been hit, and the specifications of the suit plummeted.
Although they did not completely retreat from the battlefield, the scene undoubtedly boosted the morale of all the locals of the Ancient Sages Sector. They discovered, to their astonishment, that the weird suits were not invincible and could be broken and torn apart, too.
For a moment, the locals of the Ancient Sages Sector were unstoppable. Emperor Phoenix and the imperial guards were having a hard time.
However, their purpose had never been to completely block or annihilate the hundred high-level Cultivators on their opposite side; it was merely to delay them for a moment.
Chi!
Right when Emperor Phoenix's defense line was about to collapse, an earthshaking explosion of spiritual gas echoed behind him, as if a bucket of freezing water had been poured on the heated battlefield.
"Not good. The Cloud Qin Gold Statues have been activated."
Han Baling, Qi Zhongdao, and all the high-level Cultivators of the two sides gasped. < >
"Hahahaha. Master Phoenix has made it. Master Phoenix has made it!"
Overjoyed, Emperor Phoenix burst into laughter that sounded like crying from below the cold mask of the Immortal Fire Phoenix.
"Bo!"
"Bo Bo!"
"Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo!"
All the locals of the Ancient Sages Sector stared at the black-skeleton-like Colossus that was sitting on the black iron throne at the end of the temple of the Colossi.
Weird ripples of spiritual energy spread out nonstop from the 'spiritual residence' on its chest, expanding, exploding, and blossoming like translucent balls of light.
The spiritual waves spread to the air and obliterated all the impurities floating in the air, transforming them from materials into energy and turning them into brilliant fireworks. The sound they uttered was like the heartbeat of the Colossus that had been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years.
Countless clusters of crystals were entangled on the narrow, long, and black limbs of the Colossus, which were glimmering in the dark redness, as if 'blood' was really flowing inside. The blood flowed faster and faster until it was delivered to the core of the torso.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
The thick tubes that had been connected to the Colossus from various directions in the warehouse were all shaken off. They were bouncing and struggling in midair like headless boas.
From the rows of holes that were left after they broke free, crimson spiritual gas spurted out like a volcanic eruption, spreading out, entangling, and condensing into a protective layer of spiritual energy that looked both like armor and a cape.
Two thirds of the torso of the Colossus was hidden behind the bloody mist, making it even more mysterious and intimidating.
At the center of the black skull mask of the Colossus, inside the cross-shaped groove, the crimson eye shivered slightly for a moment before it swam agilely along the groove.
The previously lackluster groove was illuminated by a layer of glittering redness, turning into the most dazzling crimson cross.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The black-skeleton-like Colossus broke free of all the restraints and stood up from the black iron throne. It lowered its head and stared at all the locals of the Ancient Sages Sector below its feet coldly with the crimson cross on the skull mask.
The black-skeleton-like Colossus was about thirty meters tall, almost the height of a seven-floored tower.
Under its indifferent stare, all the locals of the Ancient Sages Sector, be they in the Core Formation Stage or the Yuanying Stage, had a strong sense of insignificance. Many people's beliefs were shivering and gradually shaking under the 'heartbeats' of the Colossus.
Everybody could not help but stop attacking and stare at the Colossus in bewilderment.
"Found it!"
On the bridge, Long Yangjun suddenly exclaimed. "I've found a teleportation array to a room of compressed crystals near the warehouse of the Colossi. It can be activated at any moment."
"Next to the warehouse of the Colossi."
Seeing that the guy who was suspected to be a special agent of the Imperium had already occupied the Colossus that he fell in love with at first sight, Li Yao was so anxious that he almost couldn't wait to rush into the warehouse of the Colossi, kick the guy out, and replace him.
"Of course."
Long Yangjun glanced at him. "We can't show up in the warehouse of the Colossi directly. In that case, everybody will suspect that there is nobody in this room of compressed crystals. The door is locked, but there is a tube of spiritual energy that is connected to the warehouse of the Colossi. We can sneak into the warehouse of the Colossi without alarming anyone through the tube.
"However, even if we sneak in, what's the next step? I don't think that the two of us are enough to compete with the Colossus."
"I have an idea."
Li Yao stared at the other twenty Colossi that were lying on the maintenance platforms in the Grand Illusionary Land.
Some of the Colossi should be almost fully repaired, too.
He was one of the best tutors of the Colossi in the Xing Yao Federation a hundred years ago. As long as he was given some time, he might be able to activate one of the Colossi.
