"Damn it!"
More than twenty strengthened ceramic balls spurted out of the Cosmos Ring together with the components of the Colossus, but they exploded under the boost of Yue Wushuang's spiritual energy, triggering overwhelming blasts that condensed into a visible, twisted barrier that blocked Long Yangjun's attack.
Taking the opportunity, Yue Wushuang crawled into the spiritual residence of the Colossus and melted with the "Moon Devil"!
The deep blue eyes of the "Moon Devil" immediately glittered, and hideous laughter echoed from its throat that was as slender as a snake's.
The "Moon Devil" was a rarely-seen Colossus in the form of a beast. It looked like a gargantuan lizard with two short forelimbs and a thick, powerful tail. Its tail was full of intimidating sawteeth that could even be folded backward and bent all the way to the head, turning the entire Colossus into an enormous metal wheel.
Since the enemy had already retrieved their Colossus, they would certainly be killed if they continued fighting. Long Yangjun could only make up her mind quickly and flash into the chaotic Imperial Guards and devil huntresses. After a few leaps and bounds, the brilliance that was as brilliant as crystals immediately burst out and swallowed the lives of dozens of Immortal Cultivators like an ocean. Under the cover of the broken limbs and the rain of blood, she summoned her own Colossus, the "Heavenly Crystal"!
Almost the moment she crawled into the spiritual residence of the "Heavenly Crystal", Yue Wushuang's "Moon Devil" had already crouched into a sharp wheel and crashed at her unstoppably.
Boom!
The collision of the two Colossi made the entire Great Iron Plants shake. The deafening explosions tore apart the eardrums of everybody nearby. The overwhelming blast even blew away quite a few crystal tanks, which did not hit the ground until they rolled dozens of times in midair and exploded into enormous fireballs.
Long Yangjun's Cultivation and the level of the "Heavenly Crystal" were higher than her enemy's after all. Even though Yue Wushuang had attacked actively and she had merely defended herself in a hurry, she was still not heavily injured.
However, after the Colossus "Heavenly Crystal" assumed its complete form, it was at least five floors tall. No matter how she covered herself and dodged, she still became the focus of everybody's attention.
The underground cave where the Great Iron Plants was located had limited space however large it might be. There were complicated factories everywhere. The iron components that had been piled up as high as a hill were not the best place for a Colossus to carry out its combat ability.
It was true that the Colossi boasted very powerful interferences and anti-targeting techniques. However, at such a short distance, the enemy did not need the assistance of any magical equipment at all. All they needed was their eyes and a ruler to aim at her in a three-point, one-line approach.
Under Yue Wushuang's gloating command, all the Imperial Guards and the devil huntresses around aimed at Long Yangjun's Colossus "Heavenly Crystal". Storm bolts, mini flying swords, crystal cannons, heat cannons, Vulcan cannons, sabotage cannons, and ballistae of Chaos formed thousands of intersecting lines of fire and smashed the "Heavenly Crystal" overwhelmingly, riddling the spiritual shield of the "Heavenly Crystal" with holes and raising countless broken ripples, like a pond that was covered in a storm.
Although the level of the regular Immortal Cultivators was significantly lower than Long Yangjun's, and the gap between a regular Crystal Suit and a Colossus was even greater, when the quantity was accumulated to the maximum, a qualitative change could still be triggered.
An attack from a Crystal Suit to a Colossus was like being stabbed by a needle.
However, if ten thousand needles were stabbed at the same time brutally, nobody would be able to endure it.
It was exactly why Long Yangjun was unwilling to summon the "Heavenly Crystal" in the beginning. The target was too huge for her to hide. Faced with the stormy attacks, she could only grit her teeth and endure them.
Getting to the bottom of it, no magical equipment was "invincible". Every magical equipment had its own environment that was most suitable for them. The Colossi were the ultimate weapons developed for space battles. In the boundless and frictionless universe, the Colossi could be refined into gargantuan objects dozens of meters tall, as long as the user's soul and spiritual energy could support them.
In a space battle, the odds of being locked onto by the enemy and hit by the combat units that were several meters tall, dozens of meters tall, and hundreds of meters tall were not very different. Considering the factors such as the ammunition capacity, the endurance ability, and the instantaneous combat ability, the Colossi that were between fifteen and fifty meters tall boasted the highest survivability on the battlefield.
Even if they were occasionally trapped in starships that were too narrow, they could definitely fight their way out unstoppably with their enormous destructive ability. Even the explosion of the enemy's starships might not necessarily hurt the Colossi that had snuck into the starships.
However, fighting underground was a completely different concept.
The enormous size of the Colossi turned out to be a fatal shortcoming.
The Colossi "Heavenly Crystal" and "Moon Devil" were like two rhinoceroses that had been caged in a narrow cage. There was no room for them to move at all.
The problem was that the "rhinoceros" that was the "Moon Devil" also had the help of countless rats that were agile and sharp-toothed. How were they going to fight the battle?
With everything coming to this point, Long Yangjun had no choice but to carry out the "decapitation strategy" to the end.
Yue Wushuang, on the other hand, was very "cunning". She clearly had the ability to have a head-on battle with Long Yangjun, but after the first slash of the Moon Wheel, she did not have any head-on confrontations. Instead, she wandered on the crags at the periphery of the Great Iron Plants. The gargantuan Colossus spun crazily like a gyroscope that had grown four legs, dodging most of Long Yangjun's attacks agilely.
Her Colossus "Moon Devil" was very adapted to the combat environment inside the crags. Clinging to the crags with its four legs, it could also counterattack with its tail that was dozens of meters long. It was like a combination of a lizard and a scorpion. It seemed that the features of the Colossus were one of the main reasons why Blackstar the Great sent her to carry out the underground hunting mission.
Under the harassment of the Imperial Guards and the devil huntresses nearby, Long Yangjun could not aim and lock onto the Colossus effectively at all. Even though she had always been calm, she could not help but feel agitated when faced with the gnawing of countless "rats".
However, when she was about to turn around and take care of the "rats" first, Yue Wushuang would jump down from the crags with the "Moon Devil" and lunge at her most vulnerable flank, disrupting her attack that had just taken shape.
After five minutes of stalemate, Long Yangjun had only killed a hundred Imperial Guards and devil huntresses, but she did not cause any serious damage to Yue Wushuang's Colossus "Moon Devil". Instead, it was her own Colossus "Heavenly Crystal" that had a few more shocking wounds. The fuel and ammunition reserves had fallen below the warning line, too, and earsplitting alarms were ringing nonstop.
Her Colossus "Heavenly Crystal" had been heavily wounded in the battle against Blackstar the Great's "Hellstar" in the first place. By logic, it should have been sent for major maintenance.
However, her base deep below the ground did not have the ability to fully maintain the Colossus. She could only do some simple maintenance and go into battle with the wounds.
That was why she was heavily wounded in the battle against the three experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage.
After the heavy wounds, she had been fleeing in a hurry and setting up traps without any rest for half a second. When she finally returned to the Great Iron Plants after all the trouble, she did not even have the time or conditions for simple maintenance.
Below the seemingly glittering plate armor, there were gaps that looked like a spider's web. Cracking noises would be heard after the slightest intense movement.
The alarms of the mainframe crystal processor had been turned off by Long Yangjun a long time ago. Otherwise, the earsplitting shrieks wouldn't have stopped for even one second. The Colossus had truly reached the limits of fatigue and could not fight anymore!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The enemy's barrage was still pouring on her mercilessly. The colorful fireballs enshrouded her body like abnormal tumors, eclipsing the previous brilliance of the "Heavenly Crystal".
Chi!
A sharp noise burst out of the right knee joint of the "Heavenly Crystal". The entire Colossus slid to the right and staggered backward. Then, it staggered backward, as if something had gone wrong with the support axis of the leg, and it had to flee in panic.
The "Moon Devil" obviously hesitated for a moment, as if Yue Wushuang was considering if Long Yangjun was really running away or if it was a trap. A moment later, she still couldn't resist the temptation of capturing Long Yangjun alive. The "Moon Devil" turned from a fleeing lizard into a brutal, venomous lizard again and lunged at the enemy from the high stance!
"Crack!"
Weird noises burst out of the right knee of the "Heavenly Crystal" again. The entire support and steering unit completely exploded, and the right calf was gone. It was half shorter all of a sudden!
Even though Yue Wushuang had foreseen that it might be a trap in advance, she did not expect that Long Yangjun would be willing to cut off one of the calves of the Colossus on her own just for the momentary advantage.
The height of her attack was unavoidably a little too high.
"Pu!"
The tail that was supposed to stab at the chest of the "Heavenly Crystal" hit the shoulder of the "Heavenly Crystal" and pierced into it deeply.
If the tail had stabbed into the chest, there would have been a chance to penetrate through the "spiritual residence" and crush the user inside into meat paste.
However, if it had only left a hole in the shoulder, the best that the enemy could do was to lose the combat ability of one of their arms.
More critically, Long Yangjun took the opportunity to shorten the distance between the two parties. While intentionally exposing the weakness in the shoulder, she condensed a sharp crystal blade with her right hand and stabbed it into the abdomen of the "Moon Devil" brutally!
Although the abdomen was not a part that could be killed instantly like the spiritual residence, it was directly connected to the crystal reactor of the Colossus and the crystallized spine that connected the upper and lower body of the Colossus. Should it be cut off, the Colossus would likely be paralyzed!
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Chi! Chi! Chi! The blade of the "Heavenly Crystal" immediately unleashed sharpness that was thousands of degrees high and drove straight into the abdomen of the "Moon Devil".
Yue Wushuang was greatly shocked. She did not expect Long Yangjun's combat ability to be so strong.
She meant to withdraw her tail and distance herself from Long Yangjun, but Long Yangjun simply clung to her without letting go. The two Colossi rolled into a cluster, like two skyscrapers collapsing at the same time.
"Die!"
Long Yangjun's eyes that contained ice almost exploded. Not caring that her left arm was about to be stabbed off by the enemy's tail, she roared hoarsely.
"Crap!"
The cold sweat on Yue Wushuang's forehead was frozen. Desperation was spreading out of her eyes that were extremely calm.
At the most critical moment, a sword aura that was as fast as lightning and soundless darted close and pierced through the left leg of the "Heavenly Crystal" that was still intact, slightly deviating Long Yangjun's aggressive attack that she had been preparing for.
Two shadows that were as tall and magnificent as gods appeared at the edge of the battlefield at the same time.
