At the center of the space swirl, at the center of everybody's attention, deep inside the "stamen" of the bloody Flower of the Other Shore, Li Yao pushed the last Immortal Cultivator in his sight away heavily. With his left hand behind his back, he raised his right hand and opened his fingers. After a series of Cell Obliteration Cannons, the unlucky guy was blown to the seventeen or so cabin walls.
"Well …"
The mental devil's voice echoed deep inside his brain.
"Who can stop me exactly?"
Li Yao blew at his right palm softly. Of course, because of the cover of the Crystal Suit, it was just a cool pose.
"No, what I'm trying to say is …"
The mental devil hesitated.
"You want to know who I am? I am your destroyer! "
Li Yao then made a dazzling pose at the many crystal cameras floating in midair.
"It's about time to call it a day. This place has almost been melted into a steel mill because of you."
The mental devil said helplessly.
"Just wash your neck and wait obediently. I'll come to you one by one very soon. Very soon!"
Li Yao pointed his index finger at the crystal cameras and said solemnly and coldly. Then, he sneered and blew up the crystal cameras brutally with mystic rays.
"How was it? How was it?"
After blowing up the crystal cameras, Li Yao immediately turned into a different person. He asked the mental devil in a hurry, "Did you record my last pose? Was it shocking and impactful? It must've scared the Sector Masters, nobles, and emperors of the Imperium of True Human Beings, right?"
"That's exactly what I wanted to tell you just now," the mental devil said.
"Our channel to the outside world has been completely cut off," the mental devil said. "It is impossible for us to send out the data packages on the slaughter stream platform or the other nodes of the Spiritual Nexus."
"… So," Li Yao said, "my last few lines and poses were all for nothing?"
"That's right," the mental devil said. "Nobody saw or heard anything since 'who can stop me'. But speaking of which, how can you say such a shameful line solemnly? Do you not feel that it is too disgusting? Isn't it too unbelievable, brother?"
Li Yao: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
The mental devil: "I wanted to say it just now, but you've been so narcissistic that I couldn't find a chance! I didn't have a choice. I wanted to send out more data packets, too, but you said that the control system of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' must not be sabotaged, or the space fortress would truly go out of control and crash to the ground brutally. Now, some sort of barrier inside the crystal processor seems to have been activated, which automatically cuts off all the data transmission. There's nothing I can do, either. "
"Forget it. These are all details. Let's call it a day. Next time, I'll put on a good show for the people of the Empire!"
Li Yao licked his dry lips. It was not until then that he sensed the tiredness deep inside his brain and his blood. However, the fire of his soul was still burning furiously, and he could not have been more excited. "How about it? You must've sent out quite a few minutes' worth of videos just now, right?"
"Yes," the mental devil said.
The mental devil said, "Through the high-speed special channel of the 'slaughter stream platform' alone, we transmitted about 55 seconds of the video from various angles and pictures. Later, when the 'slaughter stream platform' was blocked, I duplicated thousands of copies of the video and threw them into the depths of the Spiritual Nexus that is as vast as an ocean in the Imperium. Right now, it must be raising surging tides in the entire sea of stars. I have to admit that the game is too big!"
"Of course. After a thousand years, the Cultivators have returned in a grand way. How can the scene be small?"
Li Yao smiled and said confidently, "In such a way, different … 'seeds' will certainly be planted in the hearts of countless people and Immortal Cultivators of the Imperium!"
Li Yao still could not forget the 'Black Hole Plan' that he had proposed a hundred years ago.
The most important part of the so-called 'Black Hole Plan' was not the magical equipment such as' black hole bombs' but how to trigger the strength of the people and turn thousands of ordinary people into black holes that the Immortal Cultivators found intimidating!
The Xing Yao Federation was too small after all. It was unlikely that it could compete with the Imperium of True Human Beings in a head-on battle. The best it could do was to march out as an unexpected troop at a critical moment when the balance of power was about to be unbalanced.
However, if the fury of all the human compatriots in the entire sea of stars was raised, it was possible that they would be condensed into overwhelming tides that could change the world!
Li Yao had not figured out exactly what to do yet.
It was perhaps going to be a protracted war that would last a thousand years, and he was merely a small vanguard in the war for the ordinary people to regain their dignity and freedom.
But at the very least, he had planted a seed in everybody's heart.
Li Yao had no doubt that, at the right time and place, the billions of seeds that had been sprayed into the hearts of the people would certainly have a chance to take root and sprout, bearing incredible fruits!
"Alright. The Immortal Cultivators have mostly been killed. We have already made a grand entrance in front of the billions of people in the Imperium. The fall of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' is unstoppable, too. Now, we need to figure out … how we can run away!"
Thinking quickly, Li Yao rubbed his hands quickly, but his lips curled into a cunning smile. "But first of all, the twenty or so Cosmos Rings that we have brought are not full yet!"
Li Yao was sweeping through the central area of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'.
His targets were naturally the cutting-edge magical equipment and the most precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, including abundant marrow crystals of extremely high purity and the advanced fuel to power the Crystal Suit.
Of course, the tremendous experiment files and research data of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' were also indispensable.
All the precious files and data were stored in the mainframe crystal processors and locked by all kinds of barriers and seals.
Li Yao and the mental devil were unable to crack the barriers for the time being. Therefore, they simply dismantled the storage chips of the seemingly most advanced crystal processors and stored them into their Cosmos Rings in the simplest and most violent way.
The tremendous data that the laboratories on the Land of Sins had accumulated over hundreds of years, as well as all the files of countless top-secret projects, fell into Li Yao's hands.
Right when Li Yao cleaned up the central control room, an earsplitting explosion echoed from the shell of the space fortress not far away.
Li Yao whistled softly. A deep blue storm was outlined deep inside his brain — a storm that was driven mad by fury.
"Li Lingfeng is back. He is even riding a Colossus. What a tough tide of spiritual energy. It is even more ferocious than the full firepower of an arsenal warship!"
Li Yao chuckled and activated the Mystic Skeleton Blood Cloak. The bloody wings were adjusted to stealth mode, and they controlled their breathing and heartbeat. They even locked the thirty-six thousand pores on their body so that not the slightest bit of spiritual energy would leak out.
As long as he was not directly seen by the naked eye, he would be no different from the cold bodies around on any scanning magical equipment.
It was true that Li Lingfeng was stronger than him. In terms of level and experience, Li Lingfeng was better than him in every aspect. Whatever sordid schemes and schemes that he performed, he was absolutely no match for Li Lingfeng. There was not even a 1% chance that he could kill Li Lingfeng like he did Wuying Lan.
But so what?
They were both in the Divinity Transformation Stage, and they both had Colossi. He was only one minor level lower than Li Lingfeng and some of the battle experience of an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Naturally, he was no match for Li Lingfeng, but it was barely possible for Li Lingfeng to kill him, too.
Besides, in order to kill him, Li Lingfeng had to find him first!
"Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" was so large that its main structure was more like a few 3D cities overlapping each other. It was as complicated as a maze.
Right now, in the chaos where explosions, burns, and disintegrations were everywhere, Li Yao was certainly not going to run out and fight Li Lingfeng head-on like an idiot. He would simply pretend to be a body that could be seen anywhere and see what Li Lingfeng could do to find him!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Li Lingfeng, who was far away, seemed to be infuriated. He was sabotaging the Tempest God with his Colossus and venting his fury.
"Whatever you want. After all, this is your own space fortress. You can dismantle it however you want. It will be your own spiritual energy and fuel that will be consumed!"
Li Yao sniffed. He was more and more able to see the weakness hidden below Li Lingfeng's dazzling identity and power.
It seemed that the unparalleled expert who was likely to be the next "one of the four Kurfürsten" was just a descendant of a noble family who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and grew up smoothly all the time. He looked tough but was actually cowardly.
Li Yao had seen too many guys who thought that they could control everything in the past. As long as the situation was beyond their control, they would not know how to deal with it at all. Their true colors would be revealed immediately!
Li Yao made up his mind to play dead until the end and see what Li Lingfeng could do.
Right then, another accident happened.
As if a hundred heavy cannons had been bombarded brutally from one side of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky", the space fortress suddenly tilted at a higher angle, and the falling planet accelerated abruptly. The flames of fury that were dancing on the shell were immediately brighter than before!
No. It was not the bombardment of heavy cannons. Instead, countless ragged, broken starships rushed close unstoppably against the barrage of the Immortal Cultivators and crashed into the main structure of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" brutally. Activating their power rune arrays to the maximum, they spurted out dazzling exhaust flames and crashed the space fortress toward the planet of the Martial Meritocrats Sector together.
They were the starships of Starlight!
Li Yao could clearly sense the surging flames of spiritual energy on every starship and the unyielding fighting souls of the Cultivators that were burning furiously inside the starships!
Dumbfounded, Li Yao immediately realized what the fellow Cultivators who were fighting at the center of the cosmos were up to.
Naturally, they could not have realized everything that Li Yao had done inside "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky". They did not know that the space fortress was destined to fall.
