"This, this is …"
Li Yao felt that his soul was mired in a swamp, and countless invisible leeches were crawling into his soul and injecting "acid" and "toxins" into it. He was greatly shocked.
The red giant seemed to be bound by invisible shackles. It struggled desperately, but it could not stop the black spots from expanding and connecting with each other, blackening the giant's limbs and dripping down like melted mud.
"Stop struggling. It's useless."
"If the fleshly body of human beings can be infected by viruses, and the crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus can be infected by the 'crystal processor virus', it is only natural that the soul of a human being can be infected by a certain fatal virus, too.
"My predecessor, the extraterrestrial devil, had lurked in the Flying Star Sector for ten thousand years. It evolved from a certain crystal processor virus in the first place. Is it strange that it developed the ability to invade and infect the soul of human beings?
"Did you know? The souls of all human beings are shockingly similar in their fundamental architecture, regardless of whether they are ordinary people, Cultivators, Immortal Cultivators, Refinement Stage Cultivators, Building Foundation Stage Cultivators, Yuanying Stage Cultivators, Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, spiritual roots or not, and the strength of their soul!
"The 'virus attack' that targets the deepest structure of the soul cannot be immune to any human being!
"I've poured all the tenebrum energy into your soul in the form of a 'virus'. Any struggle is futile. Give up and accept my Dao. Start … a brand-new journey!"
Before Li Yao could finish his sentence, the black star came crashing over with an earth-shattering momentum. Its body expanded again, occupying almost half of the universe, or rather, Li Yao's entire field of vision!
Gravity! The black star was so enormous that it generated a powerful force field that was similar to universal gravity. All the starships and the pieces of dead bodies in the space battlefield were absorbed into its body and turned into part of it, making the tenebrum energy reactions on its surface even more frenzied and violent.
In front of Li Yao's eyes, he could only see that countless black flames were condensing into an enormous swirl, which then condensed into an ocean that was even more enormous. The violent ocean was pouring down right above his head!
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Streams of crimson particles that looked like a bloody mist burst out of all the joints of the red giant. The black spots invaded Li Yao's glittering soul at the center of the red giant's chest nonstop. Black threaded worms appeared on his soul, which was crawling everywhere like worms, riddling his soul with holes!
The red giant fell to one knee again, but its arms were raised high stubbornly, supporting the gargantuan black star!
"I … won't let you succeed!"
From the red giant's head that was about to be crushed, Li Yao gnashed his teeth. "No matter how great your purpose is and how sacred your mission is, you do not have the right to play with the feelings, will, and soul of any human being, no matter how insignificant and common they are!"
"Idiot! Humans could have possessed the most powerful force in the universe, but the vast majority of people indulged in mediocre and peaceful lives, wasting precious resources and even more precious lives! "
Lu Qingchen said, "I want to help them. I want to help them awaken their true strength so that they can truly live!"
"We are already truly alive. Everything you see is the future we have chosen. Apart from ourselves, none of the gods and devils in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can think of making the choice for us!"
Amidst Li Yao's furious roar, the red giant actually straightened its back again while carrying the black star. It looked like it was going to throw the black star far away and smash it into the cosmic barrier.
However, the black spots that had corroded its joints greatly affected the toughness of Li Yao's soul. The red giant could not resist the enormous gravity of the black star after all, and its limbs were all broken!
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of black pillars of light shot out from the black star, nailing the red giant's limbs, torso, and head, piercing through its entire body!
"Ah!"
Li Yao screamed.
The surface of the red giant was entirely covered in black spots, exactly like Heiye Ming who had been swallowed by the black jellyfish in the Spiriters' Realm not long ago.
"Hehehehe. Have you sensed the feeling of the virus running deep inside your soul? I'm not lying to you. Any human being can't resist the virus."
A gap millions of kilometers long suddenly appeared on the black star, like a bloody mouth that was slowly opening. The arms of flames spurting out of the mouth extended like tentacles and tore open the red giant's chest unhurriedly, revealing the glittering, crystal-like core of the soul inside.
Li Yao's soul was completely drowned by the black spots. His struggle grew weaker and weaker, and he could not even cut off a single pillar of light that pierced through his body. His screams turned into moans, and from moans, they turned into sobs. In the end, they turned into indistinct sounds of "gulu gulu".
He seemed to have completely succumbed to the tyranny of the virus. His soul was crazily corrupted, and the flames of his spirit and willpower were so feeble that they could die out at any moment!
"Come on. Melt into me. It doesn't matter if we continue using the identity of 'Vulture Li Yao'. We will find the mysteries of the origin of mankind, see the future and the destiny of our civilization, and … live for real!"
From the bloody mouth, the arms of flames wriggled and spread out, and something that looked like a black serpent slowly slithered out.
The features of Lu Qingchen could vaguely be recognized on its face. It had both the brutality of an animal and the magnificence of a deity. Infinite ambition and curiosity beamed out of its eyes.
The black serpent slithered to the red giant's chest and appreciated Li Yao's soul with greed on its face.
The red giant's limbs were broken, and its body was riddled with holes because of the corruption of the virus. Li Yao could only unleash the feeblest soul waves, which were like drifting catkins. He could not stop the enemy's' fusion 'at all.
The black serpent crawled into the red giant's chest with a hideous grin. Li Yao's soul was about to become part of the enemy's body.
At this moment, the black spots that invaded the red giant's body, the black pillars of light that nailed to its limbs, and even the thousands of wriggling arms of flames and the black star itself all emitted weird brilliance.
It was impossible to describe the brilliance of the brilliance with words. Even if all the stars in the universe were counted, it would be impossible to tell how many colors were contained in the brilliance.
"Not good!"
Lu Qingchen's long and narrow eyes immediately turned into two holes. "What — what are you exactly? You can resist the corruption of my virus and even turn the tables on me."
When he realized that he had been fooled, it was already too late.
From the depths of the red giant's open chest, a streak of sharpness darted out like a crimson flying sword and pierced through Lu Qingchen's head in the blink of an eye before it pierced into the center of the gate of the black star that was wide open!
A devastating hole appeared at the center of Lu Qingchen's head. He finally let out a devastating scream. However hard he tried to fill it with devilish fire, it could not be repaired anytime soon.
Like a balloon that had been deflated, the black star was collapsing at a visible speed. Explosions were echoing from the depths of the star. The swirls of flames and the arms of flames that were surging nonstop on the surface were all frozen under the glamorous brilliance, as if they had turned into solid rocks, only to be blown into smithereens by another bloody force from inside!
Bloody springs dashed out from the surface of the dying black star and congregated in midair, turning into another bloody devil that was raging and even more hideous and evil than Lu Qingchen.
"Hahahaha. When the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. I am the final winner after all. You two idiots!"
The mental devil opened the broad wings that were made of blood and bones and covered Lu Qingchen, whose soul had been exhausted, and Li Yao, who was dying, at the same time, before it burst into the craziest laughter.
Flapping the bloody wings, it lunged at the broken black star again. Even the black serpent at the core of Lu Qingchen's soul was grabbed by it mercilessly and twisted brutally as if it were wringing a towel.
Lu Qingchen and the mental devil, the two extraterrestrial devils that could both be called 'devil kings', were engaged in a battle. There was not the slightest hint that they were born of the same origin, so why bother tormenting each other? They were trying their best to devour and counter-devour each other, like tigers and wolves competing for prey.
Lu Qingchen had exhausted a lot of his soul in the competition against Li Yao after all. More critically, he had almost injected all his tenebrum energy into Li Yao's soul in the form of a virus.
However, the virus that could have worked on all human beings somehow did not work on Li Yao at all. It was even suppressed by a certain mysterious force at the core of Li Yao's soul.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that Li Yao's soul would be so weird. At the last moment, he was careless and exposed the core of his own soul in order to completely devour the core of Li Yao's soul. As a result, the mental devil ambushed him successfully!
Although the mental devil had consumed more than half of its strength in the battle against 'Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan', it had been holding back some of its strength at that time and was only pretending in front of Li Yao. Also, it had been conserving its strength in secret for such a long time. Therefore, it had been waiting for Lu Qingchen to make a comeback after the ambush.
The two devils were devouring each other like two gargantuan primeval beasts biting each other's throats. It was a head-on collision of souls without any fancy tricks. The only thing that mattered was whose soul power ran out first!
Finally.
Lu Qingchen tore off two of the mental devil's bloody wings and even dug a shocking hole on the mental devil's abdomen.
But his head had been ripped off by the mental devil's sharp claws!
