While Jin Xinyue and Heiye Ming smiled confidently at the same time, inside the heavily-guarded secret chamber at the rear of Black Swirl …
Lu Qingchen was still locked in the iron shackles tightly, as if he had been covered by an iron coffin. He could not even move his little finger by one millimeter, much less put on any 'smile'.
He was hung upside down. His vision, hearing, smell, touch … All his senses had been blocked, and he was mired in the dead silence and darkness that normal people could not bear.
He counted the numbers in the absolute darkness and waited patiently in peace and silence.
"What a monster."
Inside the secret chamber, the Cultivators of the Black Wind Fleet who were responsible for guarding Lu Qingchen looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw the analysis curve of Lu Qingchen's brainwaves that was like a straight line on the surveillance screen. They all found it hard to believe. "For normal Cultivators, three to five hours will be their limit when their senses are cut off. Even if they do not collapse, their brains should have some unusual reactions, shouldn't they? The guy has been suffering for such a long time, but his brainwaves are so peaceful that they are as peaceful as a dead person's. They are like — like a crystal processor! "
"According to the ancient legends, weird existences often pop up in the deep corners at the edge of the cosmos."
Another Cultivator of the Black Wind Fleet operated his crystal processor and examined all the barriers and shackles around Lu Qingchen again. After making sure that there were no loopholes, he was more or less relieved. "No wonder the commander imposed the barriers of the highest specifications on him even though he surrendered voluntarily. Who wouldn't be scared of such a monster?"
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when the door of the secret chamber slid open after a beep. Another team of Cultivators of the Black Wind Fleet flooded in with abundant barrier magical equipment and surveillance crystal processors.
"According to the commander's order, the confinement and monitoring of the man are to be doubled during the battle. Put him down and replace him with barriers of a higher level!"
The Cultivators of the Black Wind Fleet hurried to put Lu Qingchen down from the iron ropes and replace him with newer, larger, and stronger barrier magical equipment.
When he took off his mask, he found that his eyes were wide open, but his eyeballs were quite stiff. Even his pupils were frozen in place. Even when the strong light shone on them, they did not expand or contract.
According to the surveillance crystal processor nearby, his breathing, heartbeat, and even brainwaves were as tranquil as an ancient well even at this moment, without the slightest interference from the outside world.
An experienced doctor shot out a mystic ray from his ring and pierced into Lu Qingchen's pupils. He frowned and asked, "Is he dead?"
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when Lu Qingchen's left eyeball remained motionless, but his right eyeball, which had been hit by the mystic rays, suddenly turned to the doctor and said casually, "No."
"Ah!"
The doctor was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.
"Hurry up and lock him up! Seal his five senses! Seal! Then, connect his brain to the surveillance crystal processor of the highest level so that the commander can grasp his every move at any time! "
All the Cultivators of the Black Wind Fleet swarmed forward. Very soon, Lu Qingchen was replaced with a 'metal coffin' that was even larger. After a loud noise, he was hung upside down again.
During the whole process, Lu Qingchen was very cooperative. Except for the word 'no', he did not utter a single sound. He simply allowed other people to cover his head with an enormous mask that did not have any gaps, depriving him of all the sensory stimuli again.
In fact, when hundreds of cold, sharp needles pierced into his cerebral cortex and forcibly monitored his brain, his pinky finger, lips, and pupils did not tremble in the slightest.
As the iron ropes were slowly tightened, the hanged man began to sway softly again. He swayed, slept, and waited in the deepest part of the 'black swirl'.
…
At the edge of the third spaceport in the Hundred Flowers Space Zone, dazzling stars were rushing close.
Even though Li Yao and Long Yangjun had realized from the very beginning that the so-called 'stars' were not real stars but some sort of fatal magical equipment, it did not help at all.
It was because at that time, they had just escaped from the carrier that was in the middle of a space jump. They were still under the intense interference of the space ripples. Their internal organs and even their souls were shivering at a high speed, and they had only just returned to their positions!
At this moment, the stars had arrived.
Almost ten thousand glittering stars spread out into an enormous star net that covered hundreds of square kilometers.
The distance between the 'stars' was extremely large. Naturally, it was impossible for them to hit Li Yao and Long Yangjun, who were moving agilely, but they were enough to enshroud the two of them in the 'star net'.
Creak.
Sound could not be transmitted in the vacuum, but Li Yao seemed to have heard a shriek that pierced his brain. The ten thousand 'stars' scattered around exploded at the same time, unleashing millions of bright electric arcs that swept across everything like dancing snakes and savaging torrents!
The electric arcs came and went as fast as they came. They were completely obliterated in 0.01 seconds, turning into an invisible storm that penetrated through the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and Li Yao himself in the blink of an eye.
The control light beam of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit immediately died out. The crystal processor and a lot of magical equipment units seemed to have vanished into the ocean, no longer responding to Li Yao's call. Even the spiritual waves inside Li Yao's veins and limbs seemed to have been mired in a pot of boiling porridge. They were sluggish and difficult to operate!
The Crystal Suit had lost most of its combat ability. It was like an iron coffin that had been draped over his body. It had become a complete burden!
Li Yao called Long Yangjun in the communication channel, only to discover that the communication channel had been seriously jammed, too. It was now dead silent and now earsplitting noise. It was impossible to reach out to each other at all!
"Li Yao, what's going on?"
Long Yangjun's telepathic thoughts were transmitted over, enshrouded in spiritual energy, but even the transmission of telepathic thoughts was intermittent. "The spiritual energy around has been completely disrupted. It seems to have been seriously interfered with and is being consumed quickly!
"Our Crystal Suit suffered from high-intensity interferences all of a sudden. A lot of crystal chips have been destroyed. It will be difficult for it to return to normal anytime soon. Also, the density of spiritual energy around is dropping. I can sense it! Such a battlefield where spiritual energy is thin is very unfavorable for Yuanying!
"Damn it. What kind of weird magical equipment is this? What kind of weird attack is this?"
"It's a high-intensity pulse bomb!"
Li Yao said solemnly, "It can release special pulse energy instantly and have a similar 'resonance' with the spiritual energy wandering in the sea of stars nearby, resulting in radiation interference similar to the outbreaks of sunspots. It can penetrate through the armor, the city wall, and even the rock stratum easily. On one hand, the spiritual energy in the attack area will be consumed instantly, significantly reducing the density of spiritual energy. On the other hand, all the magical equipment units and crystal chips in the attack area will be destroyed regardless of whether they are friend or foe!
"To put it in a more vivid way, such a bomb can create a 'black hole area' where the spiritual energy is rather thin and the magical equipment is not functioning well. Therefore, it is also known as a 'black hole bomb'!
"A hundred years ago, it was just a piece of theoretical magical equipment. I didn't expect that it could be put into practice so soon, and the effect … is quite good!"
"Quite good my ass!"
Long Yangjun stomped in fury. "Black hole bomb? Which son of a b * tch came up with such a sordid, shameless, and vicious magical equipment? They are digging the lifeblood of all the Cultivators and Immortal Cultivators! Such scumbags who are worse than pigs and dogs should be skinned and minced into pieces! "
Li Yao: "Well, you can just curse to vent your anger. Do you have to be so cruel?"
Long Yangjun: "I'm cursing on my own. It's none of your business … Hey, hey, hey. It's not you, is it? It's not you again, is it, Monster Li?"
Li Yao: "Don't stare at me like that. It was just a casual remark."
"…" Long Yangjun: "…"
Li Yao: "Later, I simply allocated a random fund from the major sects and groups under my name and invited a bunch of the best bomb specialists in the Federation to carry out the research. I didn't know that they would be so helpful. How comforting!"
"I'm beginning to regret teaming up with you. The Federation is so dangerous. I'm going back to the Ancient Sages Sector!"
Li Yao: "Don't be like that. As the inventor of the black hole bomb, I know the fatal flaws of such magical equipment very well. It's true that our spiritual energy and magical equipment are seriously interfered with in the 'black hole zone', but so are other people!
"We are all on the same level. I'm sort of an expert in the combat department, and you have the weird crystal suit to protect yourself. What are you scared of?
"Also, I can tell that the Federation's research on the black hole bomb has only just begun. Look, the 'black hole zone' that they create is not large, and it won't last very long. It will last no more than twenty seconds at most. It will be easy for us to fly out. What can they do?"
Long Yangjun pointed at something not far away and said, "Does that count as their 'solution'?"
When Li Yao looked back, he saw an overwhelming cluster of meteorite fragments that were rushing at him at a high speed.
Yes, they were meteorites, the simplest, most common stones that did not carry any spiritual energy and were not carved with any rune arrays. Therefore, they would not be affected by the 'black hole bomb'.
The larger meteorites were only the size of a fist or a head, and the smallest meteorites were even smaller than the pinky of a finger. Some were even as thin as a long, thin needle.
All the meteorites were exerted a strong impetus far away. There was no friction in space. The meteorite shower was accelerated to the highest speed and smashed at Li Yao and Long Yangjun overwhelmingly! Chi!
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The storm hit Li Yao's and Long Yangjun's spiritual shields brutally, raising brilliant ripples!
Of course, the so-called 'black hole bomb' could not drain all the spiritual energy in the entire area, nor could it completely disrupt all the spiritual energy reserves inside the two Yuanying experts' bodies.
But at the very least, it could cause serious interference to them, greatly slowing down the circulation of their spiritual energy, and increasing the consumption of their spiritual energy!
The moment they escaped from the space ripples, they had been hit by a black hole bomb or a series of black hole bombs. Then, they were smashed by the meteoroid shower overwhelmingly. Even the two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, who were outliers among the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, were struggling to cope with it.
At this moment, from the direction where the black hole bombs and the meteorite shower came from, two white starships slowly slid into their sight.
