"Bo!"
Li Yao felt that crisp noises were echoing deep inside his brain. The ancient memories that had been sealed for a long time, after being riddled with holes by Lei Yuqin's blast, were showing cracks again. Mental power that seemed to be substantial spurted out of the core of the memories and swept across his entire brain!
In the meantime, infinite spiritual energy surged out of his right shoulder as if a supernova had broken out. The Primeval God-Sealing Cannon, the Primeval Extension, and the 'Supreme Emperor's Saber' of the Super Crystal Suit were all ripped apart by the violent aftermath at the same time and exploded from his body!
In a moment, his mustard-seed suit was almost burnt into ashes. His skin was falling apart. His every muscle seemed to have been twisted brutally. His every drop of bone marrow seemed to have turned into scorching magma. His internal organs were shaking violently, too!
The 'recoil' of the cannon alone was already so powerful that even Li Yao, a Yuanying expert, could not bear it anymore. A mouthful of blood that contained spiritual energy spurted out crazily, which turned into eye-catching redness in the vacuum!
He had traded such a huge price for a cannon that could blow up the head of a deity!
All the soldiers of the federal army saw a world-splitting flash blossoming. The crimson torrent, condensed by the boiling spiritual energy and the particles of the scraps of magical equipment on the molecular level, extended into a long, narrow red line several kilometers long and pierced into the pivot of the lightning defense array precisely!
Like a burning chopstick, it pierced into the eyeball of a monster deeply. All the soldiers of ghosts and space torpedoes that it passed by were shattered, vaporized, and obliterated instantly. The multiple spiritual shields of the lightning defense array did not even stop it for 0.1 seconds before they dispersed into octagonal, glittering pieces of spiritual energy. Redness surged out of the 'eyeball' and expanded quickly, raising circular tides like an ocean that had been hit by a meteorite. The destructive 'tide' spread out on the shell of the space station. Wherever it reached, all the rune arrays, magical equipment units, and automatic turrets were emitting colorful exhaust flames before they exploded and died out at the same time.
In just a few seconds, the glittering shell of District 01 space station turned dull and messy, like an enormous glass ball that had been burnt!
The lightning arcs that were dancing crazily around District 01 space station were all cramping violently like centipedes that were struggling before death. After every cramp, their brightness and range would be slightly reduced. They turned from dragons to boas, from boas to snakes, and from snakes to earthworms. In the end, they turned into glimmers that were dispersing in space like insignificant worms!
The thousands of electric arcs perished at the same time, and the force field was completely disrupted. Squeaking noises were echoing on the perception rune arrays of everyone's Crystal Suit, as if the monster's only eye had really been blinded by Li Yao's spear. It was shrieking miserably!
The entire automated defensive array had completely collapsed!
The power of a single cannon was so tyrannical!
The heated battlefield was caught in a weird silence for a few seconds because of the blast, too.
Everybody was dumbfounded and sweating hard. They could not believe their eyes, ears, and all the other sensory organs. They could not believe the damage evaluation displayed by the crystal processors and the probe magical equipment, either!
The — the — the attack was even more destructive than the barrage of the main guns of the main-force warships. Was he really a 'mere' Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, not the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator, or someone even stronger than that?
"God … God bless the Federation!"
When many soldiers of the Union Army crawled out of the space station like headless flies and stepped into the cold universe, they were still filled with hesitation, confusion, and even fear.
It was because they did not know what was going on at all. They were completely baffled!
The orders of their superiors were not to be trusted. The extraterrestrial devils, which had barely been heard of for more than a hundred years, had returned to the human world, and the expedition army of the Imperium of True Human Beings was very likely to attack the strategic locations of the Federation at such a moment, too. Everybody was panicking and unorganized. Could there be a worse situation and a more perilous moment than that?
At that time, even the bravest, firmest, and most optimistic person among them did not have the courage to imagine how bleak and dark the future would be in a few hours!
They were only motivated by the Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars emblem on their chests. Driven by the honor and instincts of soldiers, they had risked their lives to fulfill the last bit of their responsibility!
It was especially so when they saw the dense space torpedoes, the murderous army of ghosts, and the crazily dancing lightning arcs. None of them knew how to break through the impregnable defense line!
They only knew how to die, but nobody knew how to win!
But right now —
Li Yao's blast had given them the answer and the hope of victory!
"So, we have such an expert on our side. Then, we don't need to be scared of anything!"
"Is — is he a Yuanying? No. I've seen Yuanying's battle videos before. The power of the blast is definitely not something that a Yuanying can launch. He is in the Divinity Transformation Stage. He must be in the Divinity Transformation Stage!"
"With the support of the Yuanying expert and the Divinity Transformation Stage expert, the thunder array has been completely destroyed. What else can we say? Let's go! The Federation will win!"
"The Federation will win!"
"The Federation will win!"
War was not something that could be won with just one or two experts.
However, the glamorous performance of the top experts in the frontline could indeed boost the morale of the enemy, tear apart the enemy's weakest link, and throw a fatal weight on the scale of victory!
The blast had drained most of Li Yao's spiritual energy for now. Without the protection of the Crystal Suit and the mustard-seed combat suit, he was floating in the cold vacuum like a piece of rotten wood.
But he was not scared at all, because he clearly sensed that the tides of spiritual energy behind him, which were a hundred times more powerful than his when added together, were already burning unstoppably!
The 'meteor shower' made of the common soldiers of the Union Army, after a moment of stagnation, suddenly accelerated and marched into the enemy's formation unstoppably!
The army of ghosts on the opposite side, however, was dazed for a few seconds longer than they were.
The reason was simple. It was some 'quasi-intelligent combat-telepathic thoughts amalgamations' that were manipulating the army of ghosts. They were artificial intelligences supported by big data. They could only choose the corresponding tactics based on the situations that happened in the database.
However, no matter how enormous the database was, it would never have occurred to them that a man as extravagant as Li Yao would be willing to condense so many precious primeval treasures into a 'Primeval God-Sealing Cannon' that could only be activated once!
Li Yao's craziness and strength were beyond the boundaries of the database.
The artificial intelligences were all cramping crazily, as if they were shivering in fear under the power of Li Yao's giant cannon.
When they finally got out of the infinite loop of data overflow, the Union Army had already marched to their front unstoppably!
The army of ghosts was obviously stronger, but the 'battle shells' that they were manipulating were just bodies of flesh and blood after all. They had been sleeping in the medical cabins for decades, and their limbs and bones were more or less shriveled.
Besides, even though the 'quasi-intelligent combat-telepathic thoughts amalgamations' could simulate the most delicate battle movements based on the unpredictable data, there were still some things that they could never simulate.
For example, morale.
For example, spirit.
For example, the feeling that one's blood was boiling under the boost of the Horn of Charge and the summon of the Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars flag!
In the sea of stars, a silent but resounding chaotic battle broke out.
The soldiers of the federal army, whose eyes were bloodshot, were bold enough to charge at the Fighting Spirits who were theoretically in the Core Formation Stage in groups, just to consume a little more of the Fighting Spirits' spiritual energy and the durability of their crystal suits.
It was the tactic that the army of ghosts had just adopted on Li Yao and Long Yangjun, only to be implemented on them by the Union Army, which had the advantage in numbers.
Explosions were everywhere. Scraps of sabers and swords were splashing everywhere. Translucent flowers of blood were blossoming and shattering as soon as they appeared. The gory battle covered District 01 space station in a hazy red veil!
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
As time went by, the messengers that Luo Qisheng sent out spread the news to more districts. More and more garrison troops, as well as the experts in the local universities, sects, and Exo Societies, had vaguely sensed that something was wrong. They all flew out of the airtight doors to check what was going on.
Paper could not cover fire after all. No lie could deceive everybody.
More and more space torpedoes were detonated remotely. The swirls of spiritual energy they raised involved a lot of the army of ghosts. The 'wounds' that were torn apart by Li Yao and Long Yangjun just now had no chance to heal. The defense line of the army of ghosts was gradually collapsing!
"Monster Li!"
Long Yangjun blinked to Li Yao's side. Her hands moved quickly, covering Li Yao with an invisible spiritual shield in case he was hurt by the extremely low temperature and the vacuum environment.
It was the first time that Long Yangjun had seen the power of the cannon a moment ago. The elite warrior of the Nuwa Civilization couldn't help but size Li Yao up and down. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't it too awesome?"
"It can't be helped."
Li Yao said casually, "This is what I'm used to when I haven't fired a cannon for a hundred years."
"… Stop bragging at this moment. Don't tell me that you are not exhausted. Just make up for it now!"
In the fierce battle just now, the two of them had killed at least hundreds of Dou Ling in one breath when they worked together. They were indeed at the limit of exhausting their souls and overdrawing their spiritual energy. If they did not have the protection and support of the federal army, they might have been exhausted to death by the army of ghosts.
Thankfully, the Union Army was unstoppable, and they had brought a lot of pills from the Ancient Sages Sector that could quickly recover spiritual energy. When the twelve top experts of the Ancient Sages Sector joined hands, and one of them was the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, they had all the rare treasures in the world. Naturally, their pills were the best in the world!
Li Yao chuckled. There was no need for him to pretend to be an expert in front of Long Yangjun. He hurried to retrieve dozens of translucent pills whose core was vaguely flowing with fluorescence from his Cosmos Ring and gulped them down. When they were still in his throat, they turned into hot, cold, sweet, and bitter syrup that flowed all over his body, nurturing his internal organs and veins. He couldn't have felt more comfortable!
After dozens of streams of spiritual energy flowed through his veins three times, he was finally able to focus his spiritual energy on his eyes and observe the damage caused by his cannon just now.
When he saw the ripples on the surface of District 01 space station that looked like craters, he was slightly dazed, too.
"The cannon was indeed a bit too powerful."
