All in all, the situation inside the Godly Might Prison was already out of control. Although a large batch of organized defenders were guarding the periphery, it was impossible for them to completely march into the infuriating swirl and settle the situation that was more chaotic than a volcanic eruption and a tsunami.
Li Yao, on the other hand, had not started his infiltration at all. He was still at the underground port of the Godly Might Prison, which was the entrance.
The area where General Lei Chenghu was secretly imprisoned was naturally the deepest part of the Godly Might Prison.
The 3D structure of the entire Godly Might Prison popped up in Li Yao's head. Every underground building and every pathway was revolving, colliding, and connecting quickly, allowing him to analyze the shortest route from this place to the secret area of imprisonment.
It was a pity that, in order to reach the secret area of imprisonment through the shortest route, he had to pass through the area where the criminals were caged and the area where the captives of the Holy League were caged. Only then could he reach a maintenance channel that would allow him to slide directly into the sixteenth floor below the ground where the secret area of imprisonment was located.
If he did not want to pass through the two highly-dangerous and chaotic areas that had gone out of control, he would have to bypass the main part of the Godly Might Prison and slowly sneak in through the zigzagging ventilation tubes and maintenance tubes nearby. Naturally, those tubes were full of guards who were as panicked as if they were faced with a great enemy, preventing him from passing through them openly.
"The assassins of the Holy League may show up before Lei Chenghu at any moment."
Li Yao gnashed his teeth. "Also, the Godly Might Prison may transfer Lei Chenghu to a new location at any moment. Even the deputy warden who joined the reformists might not be aware of it. We have to seize every second and risk passing through the area where the felons and the captives of the Holy League are 'rioting'!"
While analyzing the route and drawing up a battle plan, he stripped the captain of the guards who had passed out. The captain's body shape was similar to Li Yao's, and he walked in a similar way, too. It was also one of the reasons why Li Yao chose him.
However, right when Li Yao was about to sneak into the smoke and mist without a sound, he sensed that something was not right.
When he looked up, he saw a group of prison guards come out of the fog and stare at him, dumbfounded. They also saw the guard uniform in his hand and the small captain who looked like a white chicken at his feet.
"Uh …"
Li Yao glanced at his orange-yellow prison uniform and said calmly, "Everyone, calm down. I can definitely explain!"
"The Holy League!"
The jailers screamed at the same time.
"How could I be a member of the Holy League?"
"Do you see it? I can cry, I can laugh, and I have feelings. Something went wrong with the hibernation capsule, and I was unfrozen without a good reason …" Li Yao exclaimed, pointing at his changing facial expressions. "Do you see it?
"He's a high-level spy from the Holy League who has been injected with virtual emotions and can simulate human emotions!"
The jailors roared, and their cries summoned more companions and battle puppets. Before Li Yao had the time to defend himself, the barrage flooded at him from all directions, trying to drag him into the vortex of destruction.
"This is really killing me!"
Li Yao had to shoot out more smoke grenades and flash grenades from his Cosmos Ring. He was blown away by the counterforce of the blast and dodged the jailors' first round of attacks.
Although the level of the jailors was not very high, he was capable of taking care of a hundred of them instantly.
But after a hundred of them, there were another hundred of them, and ten times more beast puppets. There was no telling how many reinforcements were coming to this place incessantly, too.
However modified and strengthened the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was, the fuel and ammunition that it could carry was limited after all!
Li Yao had no choice but to run as fast as he could!
"Shua!"
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit spurted out of the Cosmos Ring like dozens of mystic rays that were alive and flowed around him in the blink of an eye. Illuminated by the smoke and the flames, it was condensed into a hideous and fancy armor. Almost a hundred super-tiny flying swords no thicker than hair darted out and turned into a hundred high-speed shooting stars under the enhancement of Li Yao's telepathic thoughts, disrupting the attacks of all the jailors. Li Yao took the opportunity to run toward the depths of the Godly Might Prison!
The first gate of the Godly Might Prison from the underground port to the interior of the Godly Might Prison had long been closed, but it could not stop Li Yao at all. While the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was still in midair, the four black crystals from the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum had already condensed and revolved rapidly like a drill.
They were revolving so fast that the entire underground port was filled with the roars of the black crystals. Then, they hit the gate heavily with a long black exhaust flame.
Sparks were spluttering, and molten iron was flowing out. A hole one meter in diameter was drilled on the gate of the ten thousand tons by the black crystals. The inside of the hole was dim orange, a sign that it had been melted. In the next second, Li Yao drove the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit through the Emperor's Blade. Then, he shot backward and blew back the few pursuers who were trying to crawl in through the hole. Then, he blew the control panel of the gate nearby into smithereens, making it impossible for the pursuers to open the gate for the time being.
After everything was done, Li Yao landed on the ground with the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. The Emperor's Blade had been returned to his Cosmos Ring, and the prison uniform on his body had been replaced by the uniform of the prison guards.
Even the uniform had been ragged and riddled with holes. The epaulets that could indicate his rank had all been ripped off. The badge and the armbands that represented his identity had been contaminated by smoke and blood, too. Even his face was burnt and twisted, as if he had almost collapsed because of the unexpected attack!
The interior of the Godly Might Prison, on the other hand, was a hundred times more chaotic than the underground port.
The Holy League's infiltration into the Godly Might Prison was probably not a temporary plan. Or maybe, they did have such a plan in mind. They knew the geological environment around the Godly Might Prison and the fatal weaknesses of the defense system of the Godly Might Prison like the back of their hand.
Introducing magma and earthquakes to sabotage the energy supply system. Hacking the defense network and implanting a virus into the crystal processors to set a lot of prisoners free. Finally, a lot of lethal and corrosive gas was poured into the ventilation tubes. After all the three approaches, Li Yao was presented with a terrifying abyss.
Explosions, screams, and excited howls were everywhere. The raging, swallowing venomous fog was everywhere.
Naturally, jailors who were as panicked as Li Yao at this moment were running everywhere like headless flies.
The so-called 'impenetrable prison that no one had ever escaped from for hundreds of years' seemed to be a paradox.
It was exactly because nobody had ever escaped from such a prison, and nobody had ever thought to attack it that the jailors here had never received a real test.
Any Immortal Cultivator who was ambitious, capable, and eager to make a name for themselves would not be willing to be reduced to such a place where they could live a peaceful, obscure, and underfed life.
In the end, it was not hard to imagine the quality of the jailors who had been sent to such a place.
It was especially so today, when the Imperium's counterattack had been fought for more than ten years and the glorious achievements in the frontline had been secured. As long as the Immortal Cultivators had the slightest ambition and connections behind them, they would've thought of ways to be transferred to the frontline to earn tremendous military credits.
The jailors who were left here were truly not prepared for such a tough battle at all!
The smoke that was as intense as ink was spreading out in the entire Godly Might Prison. In many places, it was utterly dark. People whose eyes were red and who were coughing loudly were everywhere, which made it more convenient for Li Yao to sneak in.
With the smoky uniform of the guards on his body, together with his staggering footsteps and vivid acting skills, Li Yao successfully snuck into the third floor below the ground in only two minutes.
But that seemed to be the end of his good luck.
A team of well-organized guards, with a commander who was rather calm and loyal to his duty, gathered all the loose soldiers and forced them to charge into the No. 1 district together.
The No. 1 district was the area where criminal criminals were locked.
The criminal criminals who were qualified to be locked in such a place had been sentenced to more than five hundred years in total. They were the beasts of beasts.
When the No. 1 gate was slowly opened, what Li Yao saw was ten thousand times more splendid and terrifying than what he saw in the beehive prison in "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky".
Without the suppression of the barriers and the threat of the electric arcs, even the most solid iron bars were no stronger than matchsticks in the hands of the prisoners. They were broken and minced instantly, and they dashed out of their nests and gathered together like ravenous beasts, unleashing their cruelty and brutality on the jailors who were caught unprepared.
Seeing that a new batch of jailors had arrived, the ferocious beasts all roared, bellowed, and grimaced, charging at the gate in a dark, overwhelming tide.
Although the jailors were few in number, they boasted an absolute advantage in firepower. The first attack of the thousands of fire snakes was enough to blow countless prisoners apart, killing them on the spot.
If it were a general prison, such ferocious firepower would've been enough to quell any "riot".
But for the prisoners caged in such a place, smelling the intense smell of blood and minced meat, the brutality deep inside their bones was triggered.
Besides, a lot of prisoners had seized weapons from the jailors, and the venomous gas spurting out of the ventilation tubes contained certain ingredients that stimulated the central nerves and the secretion of adrenaline, which were extremely exhilarating!
The felons launched a second round of attacks fearlessly.
The battle formation on the jailors' side began to be disrupted. Some of them hesitated, and some simply retreated.
What really gave them a fatal blow was the "metal bees" that flew out of nowhere.
The secret weapons of the Holy League had caused great trouble for the defenders in the underground space port just now. At this moment, they were exploding in the gaps between the helmets and the armor of the jailors again.
Even though they did not kill all the jailors, they still caused great chaos.
While the jailors dealt with the "metal bees" in a hurry, the ferocious prisoners had already lunged at them. They were a bunch of lunatics who were bold enough to bite the Crystal Suit with their teeth.
The most brutal melee had begun!
