Crack! Crack! Crack!
Under the scourge of the blast and the broken rocks, the shell and the internal support structure of Jingle Bell were twisted and broken quickly. Visible gaps and dents were popping up.
A starship that had been so damaged was absolutely not suitable for a space jump in the first place. Even a gap as thick as a finger could cause the entire starship to fall apart during the process of passing through the four-dimensional space, which would completely 'break the void'.
It was the common sense of common sense.
But Li Yao did not have a choice.
Despite the cold universe tens of thousands of kilometers away, he could still sense Li Lingfeng's overwhelming fury.
He would rather be killed in the violent storms in the four-dimensional space than fall into Li Lingfeng's hands!
"There's no other way. I can only take a wild gamble now!"
Li Yao's eyes were so bloodshot that blood was almost dripping out. Spiritual energy flooded out of his every pore and covered the entire Jingle Bell like an invisible cluster of air. It was essentially a defense layer of spiritual energy for Jingle Bell and the cohesion of the internal components was strengthened.
On one hand, Li Yao was now an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage, and the intensity and stability of his spiritual energy were both high enough.
On the other hand, 'Jingle Bell' was a super tiny featherweight starship, with a length of no more than twenty meters from head to toe. That was why he could support it on his own.
Otherwise, Li Yao wouldn't have stood a chance at all under the scourge of such intense bombardment.
"Go! Go! Go! "
The bloody brilliance inside Li Yao's eyes was bursting out. Like the Crystal Suit and the Colossus, Jingle Bell grew out two black wings of spiritual energy. Every feather on the wings was spurting out waves backward crazily, allowing Jingle Bell to accelerate to the highest speed and charge at Li Lingfeng and the Immortal Cultivators' starship!
The mystic rays and magnetic bullets spurted out by the Immortal Cultivators' starship smashed over overwhelmingly and exploded around Jingle Bell, as if the claws of the nether world had extended out of the void and snatched at Jingle Bell brutally, only to be blocked and blown away by Li Yao's flames of spiritual energy time and time again.
Even so, Jingle Bell was still rattling nonstop, as if it would completely fall apart in the next second.
Li Jialing was so scared that his face turned pale. Having seen all kinds of horrible monsters in the Li family and the beehive prison, the young man did not expect that there could be such a crazy person as Li Yao in the world!
Li Lingfeng's Tempest God turned into a streak of blue brilliance and rushed at Jingle Bell. If it were hit by him head-on, even the deities would not be able to save the stealthy exploration starship!
Crazy laughter burst out of Li Yao's chest. His eyes and his lips were torn apart, and his skin was breaking apart, as if his body of flesh and blood could no longer stop the outbreak of spiritual energy that was boiling inside his body. Jingle Bell accelerated to the highest speed and faced Li Lingfeng's Colossus head-on, the Tempest God!
"Come and catch me, idiot!"
Li Yao condensed his wild laughter into a telepathic thought and sent it to the enemy. In the meantime, he bashed the control panel hard. "Space jump, activate!"
In the next moment —
The thousands of bluish auras unleashed by the "Tempest God", Li Lingfeng's Colossus, slashed at Jingle Bell overwhelmingly and unstoppably.
Almost ten starships of the Immortal Cultivators spurted out a thousand destructive streaks of brilliance, blocking all the directions of escape on Jingle Bell.
However, the moment before the saber auras, the mystic rays, the space torpedoes, and the magnetic bullets arrived, fuzzy ripples appeared right in front of Jingle Bell, ripping apart the three-dimensional universe and forming a mysterious round gate, or rather, a hole that seemed to have been drilled out by worms.
Jingle Bell dived into the hole and disappeared as if it had dived into an invisible swamp!
All the attacks of the Immortal Cultivators missed the target. They only had the time to tear apart the blurred shadows left by Jingle Bell.
When the series of fireballs were annihilated, even the rippling door disappeared without a trace.
Li Yao and Li Jialing had successfully jumped out of the siege of the Immortal Cultivators and escaped from the Martial Meritocrats Sector!
"Chase them!"
Looking at the empty space up ahead, Li Lingfeng's voice was completely twisted. He gnashed his teeth and roared, "We must catch the two of them even if we have to chase them to the edge of the cosmos. I'm going to — I'm going to —"
…
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Beep! Beep! Beep!
All the units on Jingle Bell that could alarm or make sounds were shrieking.
All the units that could not emit any sound were screaming, moaning, and crying at the most earsplitting frequency, too.
However, the chorus of screams from the units could not cover the weird cries of Li Yao and Li Jialing.
It was the most dangerous space jump that Li Yao had ever experienced in his life. It was almost ten times more dangerous than crashing into Skeleton Dragon with Sparkle and jumping to an unknown foreign land together.
At the very least, the shell of Sparkle was not too damaged, and its structure was relatively stable.
He felt that he was like a fly that had been thrown into a toilet and was being dragged into the abyss of the universe by the rushing water.
Every second, he had to endure the pain of being cut into pieces a hundred times, and every second felt like a hundred years.
His muscles, bones, neural networks, and even his every cell were falling apart. Even the mitochondria and the nuclei of the cells were ripped apart by brute force before they were jumbled together again and again, squeezed and mixed into a giant cell.
There was no telling how long the excruciating feeling lasted. Suddenly, their bodies became lighter, and they were thrown out of the four-dimensional space like waste paper that had been crumpled into a ball, returning to the three-dimensional universe.
It was like jumping to the surface of the ocean from twenty thousand meters below the ocean all of a sudden. Although he could breathe fresh air, the discomfort of the momentary change still made his internal organs almost spurt out of his throat.
Li Yao was in a better state.
He heard Li Jialing vomiting hard. The young man seemed to be throwing out his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
But Li Yao had no time to take care of Li Jialing.
It was because he heard the screams of the automatic navigation and landing system of the mainframe crystal processor, and he saw the enormous planet right next to him.
The good news was that the automatic navigation and landing system of Jingle Bell was quite impressive. Before the departure, the star map of the Imperium from more than a hundred years ago that Di Feiwen, the deputy commander of the Black Wind Fleet, gave to him was quite accurate too. It really took them to a Sector that was closest to the Martial Meritocrats Sector.
The bad news was that the automatic navigation and landing system was too awesome. Instead of jumping into the vacuum of the universe where there was no gravity, they directly jumped into the gravity sphere of an enormous planet!
The enormous gravity immediately captured the tiny Jingle Bell.
Also, because Jingle Bell had suddenly crawled out of the void and did not have a relatively stable inertia with the gravity of the planet, the tidal force immediately tore Jingle Bell apart. Even the shell was taken off one piece after another!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Enormous fireballs popped up behind Jingle Bell. All the power units were destroyed. Jingle Bell, which had lost its power, was like a heavy iron block that plummeted from tens of thousands of meters in the sky!
If it were any other time, Li Yao and Li Jialing could've summoned the Crystal Suit easily, soared in the sky freely, and landed on the ground as softly as a feather.
However, they had just experienced an extremely dangerous space jump. They were still suffering from the sequela caused by the space ripples. Their limbs and bones were all shaking. How much spiritual energy could they condense?
By the time Li Yao managed to condense thirty percent of his telepathic thoughts and a cluster of spiritual energy, they were only several hundred meters away from the ground like a shooting star!
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Li Yao bombarded his spiritual energy crazily, condensing nine buffer layers in front of the broken Bell. He also hinted for Li Jialing to put on the Crystal Suit like himself.
BOOM!
The moment the two of them put on the Crystal Suit, Jingle Bell finally crashed to the ground. With a deafening explosion, it turned into a devastating fireball. A lot of debris and components were burning furiously and sprayed to the dozens of square kilometers nearby, only to be blown away by the wind and vanish into thin air.
Jingle Bell was completely ruined.
Even the set of units that could constitute a super-remote information transmission base in space that could be used to contact his hometown had been destroyed.
Li Yao woke up half a minute later.
After realizing the fact, he chanted 'f * ck' for another half a minute.
He struggled to breathe the stinky air. The stinging in his lungs reminded him how bad the air of this planet was.
Li Yao looked far away and observed his surroundings. He couldn't help but gasp in shock.
What a dangerous' habitable planet 'this was!
There was no telling what kind of weird materials were hidden in the atmosphere of this place. The sky seemed to be forever covered in dark clouds and black fog. In the middle of the clouds, lightning was dancing crazily. Now and then, streaks of lightning would dive from the sky and raise tides of electric arcs on the ground.
It was like an extremely weird forest of lightning that did not disperse for a long time.
Under the gloomy sky, Li Yao could not see a single plain or any sign of human development. Folds that rose to the sky were everywhere. The terrain of this place was somewhat similar to Boneyard's, except that it was even harsher than Boneyard's. At the very least, the folds on Boneyard were regular circles, but the folds or bulges here were sparse, interconnected, and askew, like the tusks of the ferocious beasts below the ground!
Lightning and sand were everywhere in the sky and the earth. Li Yao measured the wind speed with the probe magical equipment attached to the Crystal Suit and discovered that even in the relatively stable area where he was at, the wind speed was higher than the 'level-three wind' defined by the Federation. In the areas where the enormous rocks were rolling nonstop, the wind speed must've reached the level of 'hurricane' or even 'super hurricane'. It was needless to say that the tornadoes standing on the horizon were moving slowly while swallowing the thunder and lightning like indomitable giants.
"What the hell is this place? Is it really a 'habitable planet'?"
Li Yao watched with his own eyes as a giant rock hundreds of meters in diameter was sucked into the stomach of a tornado that was surrounded by lightning and ripped into pieces, turning into pebbles that were entangled by countless electric arcs. He couldn't help but be dumbfounded and amazed.
He immediately retrieved the data of the few Sectors in the Devilish Scorpion Nebula that were closest to the Martial Meritocrats Sector and compared them with the hellish view before his eyes.
Then, he frowned even harder.
