The seawater around Li Yao was gone.
It was replaced by a certain black material that was as thick as tar and as corrosive as acid, and could interfere with telepathic thoughts and the functioning of magical equipment units to the maximum extent.
Surrounded by such black materials, the Colossus seemed to have been embedded into a whole piece of diamond. Not just running, it would consume tremendous spiritual energy and cause severe metal fatigue on the Colossus even if it only took one step forward by brute force.
Ever since "Hellstar" caught up with him, the deafening alarms of the "Gold Vulture" had never stopped shrieking. Irritated by it, Li Yao simply turned off the alarms of dozens of critical units, but he could not stop the red lights from flashing in panic, nor could he stop the combat performance parameters of the "Gold Vulture" from plummeting under the bombardment of "Hellstar" like air leaking.
The deep shock from the Colossus to the Crystal Suit to the Mustard Seed Combat Suit to his internal organs told Li Yao clearly and unmistakably that the changes of the seawater around were not illusions caused by mental attacks but changes on the material level.
Blackstar the Great enshrouded the seawater within several square kilometers with his unparalleled vitality field, changing the form of the seawater from the molecular level to the atomic level. Such a domain was far beyond the limits of the Divinity Transformation Stage!
Trapped in Blackstar the Great's absolute domain, Li Yao would be asking to be killed if he were to run away without caring about his tail. He could only turn around and grit his teeth.
As soon as he turned around, he felt as if he had fallen into a swamp in the deepest part of hell. Hideous, wailing, and howling armies crawled out of the black swamps around him and transformed into streaks of black light that pounced at him ceaselessly, wave after wave, as if they intended to exhaust him to death here.
Li Yao was naturally able to open his domain and perceive and manipulate all the materials around.
Ever since he advanced into the Divinity Transformation Stage, he had been studying the mysteries of domains crazily day and night. He thought that he had made a lot of discoveries and that he could compete with the heroes of the world when he fully activated his vitality field.
However, after witnessing Blackstar the Great's marvelous use of domains today, he finally realized that he had only barely crossed the threshold. The reverberation, resonance, and suppression of the vitality field of human beings and the magnetic field of the universe had such mysteries!
Wuying Qi's dark domain was like a boundless black fog that descended from the starless night sky and enshrouded him.
His domain, on the other hand, was nothing more than a bright gold candle flame. Under the corrosion of the black fog, it was shaking and could die out at any moment!
It was even barely possible for him to capture the real existence of "Hellstar". He felt that he was fighting an invisible, gigantic octopus, and he was surrounded by invisible, fatal tentacles that were full of sucking discs and sharp teeth!
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Whipped and tied by the invisible tentacles, the bright gold spiritual shield of the Gold Vulture grew thinner and dimmer. Now and then, the sound of ice melting when it fell into the fire could be heard.
It was followed by a "Zhi!" Crack! Crack! " It was the sound of thousands of tiny cracks appearing inside the metal. It was the sound of the spiritual shield in a certain place that was too weak to resist the corruption of Blackstar the Great's dark domain. It was collapsing inwardly when the metal made of strengthened alloys was shaking and folding too many times, with thousands of tiny cracks appearing inside the metal beyond the tipping point of metal fatigue.
If the battle of domains went on, the entire Gold Vulture would exceed the limits of metal fatigue and would not be able to resist the pressure of the seawater anymore. It was very likely that its limbs would be ripped apart or even completely collapsed!
Li Yao's evaluation was not wrong. The combat ability of the two parties was not on the same level. He could not even defeat Li Linghai in his regular state, much less when he was in the form of "Blackstar".
Even if he tried his best, it would be barely possible for him to make a strategic turn.
What made his blood freeze even more was the mental devil's shriek just now, "Blackstar the Great is using tenebrum energy!"
In fact, there was no need for the mental devil to say it. Having competed with the incarnations of the extraterrestrial devils many times himself, Li Yao could naturally sense that the form of energy that filled the entire absolute domain was more violent, agitated, and unstable than regular spiritual energy. It was more emotional and changeable, truly like some sort of energy life.
He had vaguely sensed similar forms of energy from Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan and Extraterrestrial Devil Lu Qingchen before. It was exactly the tenebrum energy that had brought infinite destruction to the three thousand Sectors!
However, the intensity of the tenebrum energy around both Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan and Extraterrestrial Devil Lu Qingchen was far from that of "Blackstar the Great" right before his eyes.
Was Blackstar the Great a Demonic Cultivator of a higher level than Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan and Extraterrestrial Devil Lu Qingchen?
However, according to Long Yangjun's theory, there were no such things as "extraterrestrial devils" or "Demonic Cultivators" in the world at all. Or rather, human beings were extraterrestrial devils themselves, and the billions of thoughts inside their heads were billions of "devils" that constituted a precise and complicated ecological system together.
The "devils" were not terrible per se. Like the microbes, they were necessary components of the human body. As long as the "ecological system" was kept in balance, human beings would boast normal feelings and feelings. They were neither particularly inclined to kindness nor particularly corrupted to evil.
However, when the "ecological balance" was broken, some of the "devils" would expand abnormally and sweep across the entire ecological system like cancer cells. While unleashing the most intense energy, they would also affect the mind of human beings, turning them into deities, Cultivators into Immortal Cultivators, and Immortal Cultivators into Demonic Cultivators!
"Wuying Qi, what did you get in touch with in the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum in the past thousand years, and what did you become?"
Gritting his teeth hard, Li Yao held back the savagery from his body to his soul while he thought to himself, No, not in the past thousand years, but a thousand years ago!
"A thousand years ago, you were just an insignificant Cultivator in the Martial Meritocrats Sector. You were even heavily wounded by the natives of the Martial Meritocrats Sector and the Sand Primitive Sector who worshipped the Chiyou Cult. You fled to the depths of the sea of stars in a hurry with your broken body.
"You were obviously dying, and you couldn't have been very strong. How did you rise so quickly after you reached the Star Ocean Republic, which was more advanced than the Martial Meritocrats Sector, and even usurped the supreme power of the Star Ocean Republic?
"Where did your strength come from exactly? Was it decades or a hundred years between your escape from the Martial Meritocrats Sector and your arrival in the Star Ocean Republic? What did you run into during your hundred years of wandering in the sea of stars? What … are you exactly? "
BOOM!
Li Yao's brain was stirred into a mess by thousands of bubbles of confusion. After one moment of carelessness, Wuying Qi took advantage of the loophole. "Hellstar" seemed to have emerged from the black fog directly, and flames that were even sharper than the saber were surging out of the metal tentacles slashed at the limbs of the "Gold Vulture".
The "Gold Vulture" managed to retract its limbs, but it could not stop "Hellstar" from bashing its chest so hard that the entire spiritual residence was almost collapsing.
Even though Li Yao was protected by the flexible liquid crystal processor "Little Black", it was inevitable that he would vomit blood again. Even his brain was almost spurting out of his nostrils and ears!
What was even more dreadful was that, after the collision of "Hellstar", Blackstar the Great's mental power also crawled into his brain like black tentacles, inserting the horrible pictures of rivers of blood and planets into his soul.
Faced with such a powerful mental attack, if he did not have the mental devil that could swallow the negative feelings and the dark power at any time, he would've been scared out of his wits!
"Damn it, the gap between my level and this old fart's is too huge. There's no way I can fight this battle at all!"
Holding back the excruciating pain from his head to his toes, Li Yao thought quickly and thought hard. "Hurry up! Both the Colossus and I don't have much spiritual energy left. I have to come up with a solution before the exhaustion of spiritual energy and the Colossus reaches its limits!
"It hurts. My head hurts. This old fart's mental attack is truly powerful. What is he trying to do exactly … Wait, wait, wait, wait. I got it!"
Li Yao's eyes, one red and the other black, where golden rings were dancing, immediately constricted to the size of needle tips. Taking a deep breath, he said to the mental devil, "Stop. Do not swallow the mental power that Blackstar the Great is flooding in. Let it invade our brain and soul!"
The mental devil was stunned. "Are you serious? You finally can't hold it anymore and are going to surrender?"
"Surrender my ass! I've finally figured out what he wants, and I've found a way to deal with him. Chances are that we can really launch a counterattack and annihilate the supervillain! "
Li Yao's lips curled into a confident sneer. His telepathic thoughts surged out like lightning and illuminated his entire brain. "Hey, do you not feel that what this' Blackstar the Great 'is doing is too shameless and stealthy? It's not quite the same as the' founding emperor of the Imperium of True Human Beings' in our impression in the past. It seems to be several levels lower than him?
"That's why we speculated that not only did he not recover his peak strength, but he also probably had a lot of unmentionable diseases that prevented him from confronting the four Kurfürst families head-on in the past decades. He could only hide inside the queen's body and play some dirty tricks.
"Then, let's put ourselves in his shoes. If we are such an incomplete version of Blackstar the Great, what is our top priority right now? Of course, it is to change to a stronger body and be reborn through possession!
"In that case, Li Linghai's unpredictable attitude toward Li Jialing and Li Jialing's critical role in the whole scheme all make sense now. He is the brand-new carrier that Li Jialing has chosen for himself!
"On second thought, Li Linghai is indeed a very suitable candidate for possession. That's why Wuying Qi gave him half of the fragment of the 'Imperial Fire Pearl' through Li Linghai. It's probably part of the preparations for the possession, too!
"But don't forget that other than Li Jialing who got the fragment of the Imperial Fire Pearl, we got one too, and it's even bigger than Li Jialing's. What does it mean?"
The mental devil asked, "What does it mean?"
"Idiot. It means that we are also one of the 'backup carriers' that Blackstar the Great is preparing to possess!"
Li Yao said in excitement, "That's very likely. Our bodies are so sturdy that any old ghost would not drool after seeing them. Right now, Li Jialing's whereabouts are unknown. If I were Blackstar the Great, I would've definitely possessed the body in front of me first for safety reasons!
"Hehehehe. That's easy to deal with. That old ghost couldn't have foreseen that our souls are so mysterious that we are not scared of possession at all! Next, as long as we pretend that our souls are exhausted and feeble and lure him over to possess us, tricking his soul into the gap deep inside our brains, we will definitely win! "
-----
Thank you "Grey Night Sky" for your generous gift of 1000000 Qidian coins. Old Bull is really ashamed to accept such a gift, he is flattered!
I barely showed up and talked to you recently. It couldn't be helped. "Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation" was gradually entering the last phase. The worldview was getting bigger and bigger, and the characters and the quests were getting more and more complicated. It was true that ten times more time and effort had to be devoted to writing it well. For a long time, I was truly exhausted by writing every day.
Therefore, this old cow felt rather guilty and regretful that I could not express my gratitude to all my friends for their care and support.
Now that everyone is so kind to me, I can only say that I will try my best to write until the last word so that I won't leave any regrets for myself and everyone else!
