"Those people are very strong!"
Under the senses of Li Yao's soul, all the prisoners turned into colorful flames of spiritual energy and vitality fields.
As the flames burned and jumped, Li Yao had a rough estimation of their capabilities.
Those prisoners were all highly dangerous guys. On average, they were in the high level of the Building Foundation Stage, the peak of the Core Formation Stage, and even the high level of the Core Formation Stage. At the center of many of their vitality fields, there was a burning existence that was particularly condensed and revolving slowly like a small sun. It was their second brain, or the legendary 'Jin Dan'!
"Even the experts such as Jin Dan are regarded as prisoners and 'test subjects'. The owner of Manjusaka is truly extravagant!"
Li Yao continued observing attentively, only to discover that the prisoners were not as simple as the regular Building Foundation Stage and the Core Formation Stage. Most of the prisoners' bodies had been modified in all kinds of ways. Some of them had bone spurs all over their bodies, some of them had metal scales on their muscular arms, and some of them had simply melted composite armor into their chests, turning them into half-human and half-machine monsters. There was no telling how the Immortal Cultivators resolved the conflict between metal and flesh, but their integration seemed to be even more perfect than that of 'Iron Commander' Zhou Hengdao of the Federation years ago.
Li Yao vaguely sensed something familiar from the prisoners.
Right. The physical mutations and modifications of the prisoners were exactly the same as those of the tough bandits in the Land of Sins that he saw in A Boxing Champion's army, except that they were much more harmonious and perfect, as if they were an upgraded version of the bandits. It was almost like …
"It's almost like 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' ran all kinds of crazy technologies and techniques on the tough bandits in the Land of Sins first. After tremendous mature data and technologies were obtained, they were applied to the batch of 'test subjects' that were more advanced, producing 'ultimate test subjects' that were more advanced."
The mental devil said casually.
"Exactly!"
Li Yao was greatly alarmed. That should be the truth. It was a complete assembly line of new techniques and modification technologies. From the bottom to the top, from the sinners in the Land of Sins to the Immortal Cultivators, they were all "test subjects"!
Concentrating his soul, Li Yao observed carefully. Although the prisoners were strong and had received the most cutting-edge refinement, they did not look like experts at all. They were all lifeless, with frustration and desperation on their faces, or hysterical fury and hatred. Their yellowish eyes were bulging as they stared at the guards outside of the prison.
Everybody was wearing heavy shackles on their hands, feet, and necks. Every shackle was carved with dense runes and embedded with flashing crystals, which were running crazily.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and immediately 'saw' the thick electric arcs and magnetic fields between the shackles and the iron walls around him.
The slightly twisted, weird gestures of the prisoners made Li Yao realize what was going on immediately, too.
"The entire beehive prison should be equipped with a certain super powerful magnetic field control system. Powerful magnetic fields have been generated between the shackles of the prisoners and the walls, making them barely able to move despite their monstrous strength, as if they were carrying ten thousand tons of boulders.
"The intensity of the magnetic field should be adjustable. Once it is adjusted to the maximum, chances are that their shackles will be stuck to the ground or the walls. Or, if two or three prisoners are attracted to each other, they will be completely immobilized and at the mercy of anybody!"
"It seems that the Immortal Cultivators are rather wary of the prisoners and have to suppress them with the most rigorous surveillance methods."
The mental devil grimaced. "Hey, do you think the prisoners are living a comfortable life in Manjusaka?"
Li Yao frowned. "Of course!"
"Therefore," the mental devil continued, "although they are all Immortal Cultivators, they must've hated the master of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' so much that they would've skinned and minced the master of this place into pieces the moment they found an opportunity, wouldn't they?"
Li Yao thought of something. "Yes. The Immortal Cultivators are all cruel and brutal guys. Once the highly-dangerous prisoners are freed from the shackles and regained their freedom, and the Immortal Cultivators in the hibernation cabins above are all unfrozen … it will be no wonder that those people will turn 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' upside down!
"However, what exactly do I have to do to release all of these people?"
"It's very simple," the mental devil said.
"With the bodies of those dangerous criminals that have been strengthened and modified and their combat ability in the Core Formation Stage, it is barely possible to trap them with iron walls alone. The main means of control should be the ubiquitous super magnetic field system.
"The super magnetic field system, on the other hand, must have a control center that requires an enormous supply of energy.
"If we can sneak into the control center, infiltrate and seize the mainframe crystal processor here, and manipulate the entire super magnetic field system, won't we be able to do whatever we want?"
Li Yao blinked quickly. "Is it possible?"
"As long as we can find the control center and the mainframe crystal processor, it is certainly possible."
The mental devil smiled. "Don't forget that we have swallowed most of the pieces of tenebrum energy from the extraterrestrial devil, received all the legacies of Professor Mo Xuan, and advanced into the Divinity Transformation Stage!
"It may be impossible for us to 'create' in the Spiritual Nexus, but 'destroy' is always ten thousand times easier than 'create'. Can't we even completely sabotage the entire system by implanting a few viruses?
"Even if we can't do it completely, we can simply blow up the energy center that supplies energy for the super magnetic field control system in the simplest and most violent way. Without energy, let's see what they can use to generate the magnetic barriers!"
"Now that you put it that way …"
Li Yao mumbled, "I almost can't wait to see the entire beehive prison go out of control and all the infuriated, ferocious, and dangerous criminals rush out and lunge at the depths of Manjusaka crazily."
Neltharion continued moving downward. The prison cells around gradually turned into enormous rings that were hidden in the darkness. Countless human-shaped objects were vaguely standing in the middle of the black fog. They were all naked, but they were tied up and pierced by tubes.
"They are human beings. People who have fallen into the deep sleep state."
Li Yao was confused. "Their scent is also very strong, but their brain activity is very feeble, as if it is suppressed by a certain barrier. What are they exactly?"
"Perhaps they are the army of the master of this place," the mental devil said coldly.
The mental devil said coldly. "They have spent so much money to maintain such an enormous laboratory and run so many experiments. They must have some 'results', shouldn't they?
"Then, after the most advanced and cutting-edge results are presented, isn't it only natural that they should fill their own armed forces with them first?"
Staring at the motionless shadows that were pierced with tubes and wires in the middle of the black fog, cold ripples spread out of Li Yao's soul.
"Hooo! Hooo! Hooo!"
Right then, feeble roars echoed from the bottom floor of the beehive prison, which attracted the attention of Li Yao and the mental devil.
It was an extremely spacious prison cell, or test field, where two ferocious life forms were having a life-and-death battle.
One of the life forms looked like a hybrid of a spider, a scorpion, and a crocodile. They had been enlarged to almost five meters long and were covered in sharp bone spurs and scales, as if a forest of blades had grown out of their flesh and blood.
The other 'life form', on the other hand, was a weirdo that looked like a yaksha.
It should be a human being, or an abnormal, mutated gorilla. It was covered in green hair that looked like iron needles, and a pair of big, bulging eyes were distributed on the two sides of its head, where flames of spiritual energy that were even more violent than tsunamis were burning.
Although the enemy was twice as large as him, his aura completely overwhelmed the enemy.
When Li Yao saw the battle, the weirdo that looked like a green-haired yaksha was straddling the crocodile, not bothering the sharp scales and bone spurs on the enemy's body. He opened the enemy's mouth by brute force and ripped the enemy's head in half!
"Crack!"
After an explosion, a mist of blood spurted out. The green-haired yaksha was still not satisfied. He stabbed his fingers that were sharper than chainswords into the crocodile's back and groped for a moment before he dug out the heart by brute force!
The crocodile, with its tenacious vitality, was still struggling, but the green-haired yaksha put on a satisfied smile. Holding the bloody, sticky heart with both hands, he swallowed it quickly.
Outside of the test room, more than ten Immortal Cultivators in airtight suits were pointing and recording the test data.
"This guy is so strong!"
Even Li Yao was somewhat shocked. "Barely a drop of spiritual energy leaked out of the body. It was all used to nourish every cell in the body so that the body could unleash the highest combat ability. This is the training and fighting philosophy of the 'body fundamentalists'. This green-haired yaksha must be a 'body fundamentalist' who has trained himself, or rather, modified himself to the highest level!"
Right then, the researchers seemed to have received some sort of order. After whispering to each other for a while, they operated quickly on their crystal processors.
Dozens of red spots suddenly appeared on the green-haired yaksha's body. Then, dozens of scarlet liquids darted into his body like water arrows.
At first, Li Yao thought that the Immortal Cultivators were going to destroy the 'test subject'. However, after jumping up and down for a while, the green-haired yaksha staggered and fell to the ground as if he were drunk.
It was not until then that Li Yao realized that what was shot into his body just now must have been anesthetics of high intensity and dosage.
It was not until they made sure that he was in the deep anesthesia state that a few Immortal Cultivators in Crystal Suits came in and tied him up. They carried him into an enormous metal bag and a floating disc before they slowly descended.
It was the 'test subject' with the highest combat ability that Li Yao had seen so far.
Since it had the highest combat ability, it meant that it had the most advanced strengthening technology, the most central laboratories, and the big shots in Manjusaka.
