The sound …
At first, it was thick, stagnant, slow, and deep, as if it were slowly rising from the vast land enshrouded in hazy mist toward the night sky that was brimming with dark clouds.
However, the night sky where the clouds were rolling was too dark. Nobody knew whether or not the sound would be completely swallowed by the clouds or tear apart the sealed sky.
Hearing the voice that was so familiar that it had almost melted into their blood and bone marrow, the souls of all the ordinary people and Cultivators shivered. Before they realized what was going on, their instincts had already driven them to vibrate at a similar frequency. Centered at Li Yao's soul, the source of the voice, the ripples of the soul melted one after another, as if tiny streams were congregating into a surging river.
Meng Chixin, Han Baling, Zhu Zongyou, Qi Zhongdao, Yan Liren, Master Bitter Cicada … The experts from the Ancient Sages Sector watched, listened, and perceived everything in bewilderment.
What was happening in front of their eyes was something that the knowledgeable, battle-tested Yuanying Cultivators and Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators had never experienced before.
The reverberation of the souls of thousands of ordinary people and low-level Cultivators was also a brand-new strength that they had never seen, experienced, or been shocked by before!
While everybody was chanting and resonating in unison, the sound finally crashed into the night sky that was brimming with dark clouds like a disobedient beast with a deafening roar, raising a dazzling morning glow!
It was the darkest moment before dawn.
However, it was exactly the darkness of the night sky that set off the brilliance of the morning glow. It was as red as blood and soon soaked half of the dark clouds, making the sky in the east transparent, clear, and bright!
The night raged, trying to surround and swallow the tiny hope.
However, the morning glow and the morning sun that was hiding behind the morning glow grew brighter and brighter, unstoppable!
The two forces of brightness and darkness were fighting each other in the bleeding sky. When the soul-stirring, soul-stirring music reached the ears of the experts of the Ancient Sages Sector, they felt that an ineffaceable picture was slowly unfolding in front of their eyes. The golden sunlight ripped apart the dark clouds and the dense fog that covered the vast land like sharp blades, illuminating an army that was marching forward on the rugged mountain roads and the treacherous land in silence. It was reflected in every shiny armor, every coldly shining saber, and every determined face!
The collisions of sabers, swords, and armors, the stomping hooves of the horses, the uniform breaths of the soldiers, and the blood-stained flag that was flapping in the wind … All the noises were part of the music and perfectly melted into the magnificent march!
"Why — why is there music?"
Meng Chixin and Han Baling looked at each other in bewilderment.
"It — It seems to be the national anthem of the Xing Yao Federation!"
Emperor Phoenix and Qi Zhongdao realized what was going on at the same time. They were very interested in the national structure of the modern Cultivation civilization. The national anthem and the national flag of the Xing Yao Federation were important parts of their investigation, too.
"Are you serious? Can the national anthem really be sung to boost morale?"
Ba Xiaoyu stared at Li Yao in bewilderment.
As everybody's soul resonated, their feelings, willpower, spirit, and soul all turned into waves that were attracted by the source of the resonance and gathered in Li Yao's right hand that was raised high to the sky.
There, a light ball that was so dazzling that it could not be looked at directly had been born. It was expanding quickly in the greatest battle song of the Federation, becoming more and more scorching and powerful.
The entire dark void was twisted beyond control under the interference of the light ball.
It was not until then that Ba Xiaoyu realized that Li Yao was not kidding when he said that he would sing to boost morale.
This — this was truly his ultimate skill!
"This is unbelievable!"
Ba Xiaoyu, Qi Changsheng, Wan Mingzhu … All the experts of the Ancient Sages Sector could not help but exclaim at the same time.
But in the next moment, the song did not soar higher and higher into the climax of the most passionate and valiant battle as they expected. Instead, it dipped and became more gentle and soothing.
The drawn-out song unfolded a different picture in front of their eyes. It was a zigzagging river, the undulating wheat fields, the quiet and peaceful villages on the two sides of the river and the wheat fields, and countless people who were smiling, singing, and enjoying themselves while they stood on their tiptoes and looked forward to what was to come.
Therefore, the experts of the Ancient Sages Sector finally understood why the army that the song was praising was fighting and where they were going!
This place, the river, the wheat fields, and the villages, was their hometown.
They were going to protect the precious land, their beautiful hometown, and fight the most dreadful enemy and the deepest darkness in the entire universe!
Their wives and children were staring at them from behind. The steaming food of their hometown was waiting for them among the red bricks and green tiles. The wheat fields, the rice flowers, the river, and the river were all supporting them!
With the support of the forces, in the soothing and tactful chapter, the army, the march, and the indomitable spirit had been filled with surging strength. Accompanied by an earth-shattering drum, the music suddenly entered the climax. The army lunged at the sky and charged at the lightning and the rolling clouds. The people in the frontline and their hometown, the people in the illusionary world and the real world, men and women, the old and the young, the ordinary people and the Cultivators all sang at the same time.
"Ah, in the lightning and thunder, can you see it?
"What makes us so proud?
"The dawn is born in the dark clouds.
"Who is riding the wind in the sea of stars?
"The thunder is rumbling. It is the Xing Yao Federation!
"Whether or not the raging tides in the sea of stars have stopped,
"On the sacred land, in the free sky, march forward, Federation. March forward, Federation!"
The singing, each louder than the last, was exactly the same as it had been in the past six hundred years. Once it echoed, it would never be stopped by any force!
It was a battle hymn sung by the warriors who were fighting in mountains of corpses and oceans of blood after countless collisions of blades and bones. It was a battle hymn sung by countless warriors when they charged at death and destruction side by side. There was no need for a moving melody, a professional voice, or every beat. All that was needed was for a hundred people, a thousand people, ten thousand people, or even billions of people to burn their lives and stimulate their souls together to resonate and roar together into the voice of a country, a people, and a civilization!
Qi Zhongdao, Meng Chixin, Ba Xiaoyu … The experts of the Ancient Sages Sector were not familiar with the battle hymn that had been passed on for almost seven hundred years. But for some reason, the battle hymn that felt like iron torrents was striking their souls deeply and cleansing their beliefs. Even their every finger, every toe, and every strand of their hair was shivering along with it.
"What — what kind of technique is this exactly? Why do I feel that my blood is boiling?"
Ba Xiaoyu bulged his eyes. The fire of his soul was burning more and more fiercely. There was no telling when it had burnt up all the tentacles around him. The bouncing frequency of the flames of spiritual energy was attracted by the voice inside Li Yao's soul, too, as if it were singing along with them!
"However, it doesn't feel bad at all!"
Ba Xiaoyu clenched his fists. His fists were bouncing like two hearts. "Before I know it, I feel that my head is burning from my toes to my skull. It's been a long time since I last felt so gratified. Is this … a sign of a breakthrough?"
"Li Yao …"
Ba Xiaoyu and the other experts of the Ancient Sages Sector stared at Li Yao, who was the source of everything.
At this moment, Li Yao's entire right arm and even the upper half of his body were enshrouded in the light ball that looked like a supernova outbreak. He had completely taken over the 'domain' of the extraterrestrial devils and become the absolute center of the dark void!
"Is this the real 'dominator of three Sectors, Vulture Li Yao'? His strength is truly immeasurable and unstoppable! "
Even Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun, two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, found it hard to keep their eyes open because of the dazzling brilliance emanating from Li Yao's right palm.
In the song "Forward, Federation! Forward, Federation! " In the middle of the song, the army that leaped up from the boundless land had completely torn apart the darkness and minced the clouds. There was no telling whether it was the sunlight that covered every one of them in glamorous armor or their glittering sabers and swords that sprinkled over the land and protected the human world!
"It's impossible!"
The screams of the extraterrestrial devils echoed under the golden sunlight. "This is my world. Nobody can destroy me here. Nobody."
"Li Yao!"
Professor Mo Xuan screamed at the top of his voice again. Torn apart by several 'fake Professor Mo Xuan', he couldn't have looked more miserable, but he still dug open the shell of the silver ball, revealing the dense, dark red spots at the center. "Now is the time. Leave me alone. Come on!"
"Professor, I'm sorry!"
Li Yao gritted his teeth, tears running out of his face.
"It's me. It's my fault, everyone."
Professor Mo Xuan laughed miserably, as if a great burden had been taken off his shoulders. "I was wrong. I hope that it's not too late. Now is the time to correct the mistake!
"It's impossible! I won't lose! No! No! Why? Why is this happening? "
The extraterrestrial devils struggled hard and shrieked miserably. Countless flagella and tentacles waved in vain and pierced into Professor Mo Xuan's body brutally, but they could not corrode his will and belief that belonged to a human being at all!
"Don't you understand, scumbag?"
Li Yao laughed aloud in his tears. "You think that you can calculate, control, and manipulate everything just because you have a few super crystal processors and an enormous database!
"But the feelings of human beings are immeasurable. The will of human beings is uncontrollable. The spirit of human beings is unstoppable!
"Even if you summon the computational ability of the entire universe, you will not be able to estimate the limits of the civilization of mankind. No matter how dark, cruel, and hideous things we encounter on our way forward, we will march forward bravely and solve everything with our courage and wisdom. We will never seal ourselves in tiny chips, in illusionary laws, or in the illusion of 'absolute peace'!
"Sister Qingqing is not under your control. Professor Mo Xuan is not under your control, either. None of the Spiriters are willing to be controlled by you and bound by the so-called boundaries and laws. You have failed since the beginning, a * shole!
"Don't you feed on the feelings of human beings? Then, have a taste of this. Human's anger, human's pride, human's seven emotions and six desires, human's laughter, song, and roar!
"The world is ours. Go to hell!"
At that moment, the light ball that gathered the will, pride, fury, and roars of countless people exploded!
