After a brief silence, Blackstar the Great did not deny it but simply said casually, "I will certainly extinguish the 'fire of ruthlessness' that has been ravaging the Holy League for a thousand years and save the Imperium and our civilization!"
Li Yao raised his voice and said, "What if you fail? If your calculations are wrong, it doesn't matter if you're playing with fire, but everyone will be buried with you! "
"There are no ifs!"
Blackstar the Great roared too. "Without me, the Imperium will slowly decay and be destroyed, and our civilization will have no future, either! With that in mind, I might as well take a wild gamble. If you are truly thinking for the civilization of mankind, you should stand by my side! "
Holding back the humming in his ears, Li Yao gnashed his teeth. "The Holy League and the four Kurfürst families are not good people, but it does not mean that you are the savior of the civilization of mankind! Old fart, I will never succumb to scumbags like you. You have been completely bedeviled! "
"What is a god? What is a devil? You are just a loser! "
Blackstar the Great burst into laughter. "I am neither a god nor a devil, but I am going to reign over the civilization of mankind and stomp on all the gods and devils in the universe!"
"In your dreams."
Li Yao said brutally, "You have failed once a thousand years ago. Even if you can rise to power a thousand years later, won't your reign be in vain when you kick the bucket one day? Your reign has been consolidated purely with lies, violence, and schemes. One day, it will be destroyed by double lies, violence, and schemes! "
With a mysterious smile, Blackstar the Great extended his tentacles to Li Yao. "I already have a perfect plan that can solve the problem of the local magnates once and for all. Even ten thousand years later, the Imperium of True Human Beings will only grow stronger and stronger. Come on. Join the Immortal Cultivators' side. I will certainly tell you the 'ultimate plan'!"
Li Yao refused on the spot solemnly. "Wuying Qi, just give up. I will never stand on your side. Just go. I don't want to see you again!"
Blackstar the Great was slightly dazed. Then he burst into fury. "You don't even know that you are about to be killed. A thousand years have passed, and you Cultivators are still as idiotic as ever!"
"Hehe. Hehehe. Hahahaha!"
Li Yao finally tore apart all his disguises and burst into laughter. "You are the real idiot here, old fart. Vulture Li Yao, as a seasoned veteran, has always been delayed by other people. This time, it is finally my turn to be delayed successfully!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when the bright gold flames around the Gold Vulture were more than a hundred times more dazzling than before. They were exploding nonstop like golden fireworks, illuminating the dark, thick seawater nearby into glamorous splendor!
In the most dazzling aura, the feathers of the Gold Vulture all stood up like long sabers that had been unsheathed, colliding with each other and rising up and down. In the end, complicated, beautiful spiritual stripes appeared, as if countless pairs of eyes had grown on the broad wings.
As for the saber that had ripped apart countless crystal warships, it seemed to have expanded ten times more suddenly under the cover of the gold brilliance and was even more dazzling than the real body of the Gold Vulture!
Li Yao's soul was expanding at a speed that suggested a series of explosions.
All of Blackstar the Great's tentacles were straightened as he roared, "What have you done exactly?"
"Nothing."
Li Yao smiled miserably and said casually, "It's just that I swallowed more than three hundred bottles of strengthening drugs in a row and almost used up all the stocks that Li Linghai gave me. Also, with the strengthening drugs as the trigger, my life and my soul were fully unleashed.
"It was indeed a waste of time to digest and absorb the three hundred bottles of ultra-quality strengthening drugs. That's why I wasted so much time talking to you just now. I'm sorry, but right now, I have been activated to the strongest form that I've ever been in. Let's fight!"
"You —"
Blackstar the Great said gloomily, "Swallowing more than three hundred bottles of strengthening drugs of the highest purity equals to burning up your soul completely. After the battle, you will be crippled even if you are not killed. Are you really not scared?"
"Haha. Hahahaha. What's scary about death at all? Isn't the so-called death reuniting with my family and friends who perished on Firefly?"
Li Yao laughed miserably and eagerly. "Ever since the Star Ocean Republic was completely destroyed by the civil strife on Firefly, my … family and friends were all killed miserably in the catastrophe. Even I myself did some things that I deeply regretted!
"After I escaped from the debris of Firefly, I wandered in the sea of stars like a walking corpse. Even I did not know the significance of my survival. I asked myself ten thousand times why I didn't die with my family and friends at that time, and why I did … those things like ants who were trying to survive!"
Speaking of that, Li Yao's voice choked and shivered, as if he could not go on anymore. With the relief that everything was finally coming to an end, he chuckled and continued, "After I drifted to the Imperium, found Li Linghai, and fulfilled my final destiny, I lost the meaning of living. However, Li Linghai promised me that he could give me a Sector that operated according to the laws of the Cultivators. It was essentially a reconstruction of a minor civilization of the Cultivators.
"Originally, I wanted to prolong my existence for this purpose. I'll just treat it as atonement for what I did in the past.
"However, your appearance has completely shattered my last hope!
"Such a reality is hell for me. Every second of my life is worse than death. Now that my last hope has been shattered, I only want to die valiantly like a real Cultivator!
"Haha. Speaking of which, I am truly lucky. What kind of death can be more valiant than having a great battle with Blackstar the Great, the ancestor of the Immortal Cultivators, and inflicting heavy wounds on him?"
"You are an ant trying to shake a tree!"
Blackstar the Great said coldly, "How arrogant do you have to be before you are confident that you can inflict heavy wounds on me?"
"Cut the crap!"
Li Yao's laughter couldn't have been more arrogant. "Don't think that I can't tell that, while your Colossus has magnificent specifications and amazing refining techniques, all the units have been seriously damaged after a fierce battle just now. In order to disguise yourself, you have sprayed so much ink around like an octopus, which makes everything a mess. How can you fool my sharp eyes?
"You yourself, on the other hand, are definitely not as strong as you were in your prime. It is already an overestimation to say that you have recovered twenty to thirty percent of your strength!
"Also, controlling Li Linghai's body in the form of a remaining soul can't be done without a price, can it? The fierce battle in such a form must've dealt great damage to your remaining soul and left some sequelae, right?
"Otherwise, how could you have tolerated my nonsense for so long without slashing me to death? Not just you, if I were in your shoes, I would've slashed myself too!
"Therefore, you have been exposed, Blackstar the Great. Today, I, Vulture Li Yao, will make you pay a gory price even if I have to die. I will drag your ambitions and schemes into hell and bury you with me, the last Cultivator!"
Li Yao's voice was like the tides at the bottom of the ocean, each higher than the last. Thousands of tiny bubbles were even raised in the dark gold seawater!
The indestructible saber in the Gold Vulture's hand, on the other hand, could not bear the explosive energy that Li Yao poured in anymore anymore. Thousands of cracks truly appeared on it, and the entire saber exploded!
An astounding scene took place. The saber exploded into hundreds of thousands of gold pieces. Covered by Li Yao's vitality field, they were condensed into a gold torrent and smashed at "Hellstar" overwhelmingly!
Blackstar the Great sniffed. The hundred metal tentacles of "Hellstar" interweaved into an arc-shaped net, completely enshrouding the gold torrent made of Li Yao's saber!
Even though some of the scraps of the saber penetrated through the metal net, they were all swallowed by the dark spiritual shield around "Hellstar"!
The attack did not cause much damage to "Hellstar".
Li Yao did not even blink. He had foreseen such a scene. If Blackstar the Great were killed so easily, he wouldn't have been qualified to be the ancestor of the Immortal Cultivators. He had only shattered the saber to launch the attack because he wanted to buy more time so that he could gather a more powerful attack.
When the gold aftermath of the attack gradually dispersed in the black seawater, all the feathers on the wings of the Gold Vulture that had been fully extended dashed out in gold brilliance, drawing unpredictable arcs and condensing into a hundred glittering flying swords and sabers in different shapes in the seawater.
Under the suppression of billions of tons of seawater, all the flying swords and sabers were still roaring. In the meantime, Li Yao burst out a heart-wrenching roar, too. "Old fart, remember this name forever. I am Li Yao, Cultivator!"
He burst into laughter, with the determination to die like a moth darting into a flame, as he launched the last attack.
The mainframe crystal processor of "Hellstar" buzzed crazily, and Blackstar the Great's vision was completely filled by the burning gold.
"Those … unreasonable Cultivators!"
He muttered, frowned slightly, and retreated slightly.
The Cultivators before and after a thousand years were no different. They were all a bunch of guys who liked to die for a noble cause. While the last attack that Li Yao exchanged for with his life and soul was violent, its accuracy was slightly disordered. There was absolutely no need for him to fight a guy who was asking to be killed.
It was not until a hundred golden flying swords and sabers brushed past him that he sensed the difference between the torrents and the real attack subtly. His pupils constricted to the minimum.
Wait. Why was the attack that the guy exchanged for with his life so lackluster in the beginning? Not good!
Blackstar the Great's sharp eyes tore apart the golden seawater, only to discover that under the cover of the so-called "last attack", Li Yao was rolling and crawling on the Gold Vulture to escape!
It was needless to say that Li Yao's posture of escape was as smooth and perfect as flowing mercury, and his route was untraceable. The moment the hundred flying swords and sabers were launched, he had already dashed more than ten kilometers in the heavy seawater. The tactical movements that were completed in one breath were truly pleasing to the eye and breathtaking!
"Cultivator Li Yao!"
Blackstar the Great was dumbfounded at first. Then, he burst into fury and lunged at Li Yao with his telepathic thoughts. "Aren't you going to die a glorious death in battle? You're running away! "
"Who says I'm running away?"
