When Wuying Qi soared to the sky with the telepathic thoughts of hundreds of experts and tens of thousands of Imperial Guards, the energy supply center next to the Gold Crystal Pyramid was fully functioning.
Tens of thousands of tons of crystals were instantly transformed into the purest spiritual energy and transmitted into the Gold Crystal Pyramid through the tubes that were as thick as boas.
For a moment, the entire Gold Crystal Pyramid seemed to be transparent, releasing the dazzling brilliance of a supernova explosion.
The primeval runes that had been embedded on the surface of the Gold Crystal Pyramid seemed to have been injected with new lives and woken up from hundreds of thousands of years of dust. They extended their strokes and intertwined with each other into vivid faces.
At first, the faces seemed to be the faces of the hundreds of experts in the Gold Crystal Pyramid, including Li Yao and Long Yangjun.
However, as their brains resonated and Wuying Qi's guidance, all the faces gradually wriggled and turned into Wuying Qi's face! Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi!
Zi! Zi! Zi!
The waves that rushed out of the top of the Gold Crystal Pyramid, boosted by the violent spiritual energy, evolved into visible black pillars of light that pierced at the "silo" up above.
The silo was not a tube that was absolutely straight. Instead, it was like a hollow tree that was blooming furiously, except that the walls of the tube had been painted into a silver color that was as smooth as a mirror.
After the black pillars of light entered the silo, they became even more solid and hideous after repeated collisions and refractions. Like a dragon that was about to swallow the universe, it dashed out of the ground and soared into the sky!
On the ground, everybody within ten thousand kilometers saw a black dragon rising into the sky and tearing a swirl-like gap in the thick clouds, darting into the sea of stars.
The Black Flood Dragon was endless, and there was no end to it at all. Just like that, it stretched across the heavens and the earth, brazenly displaying its power.
Immediately, the sky darkened, and the clouds changed color. The whole capital planet was filled with the soul-stirring pressure of Blackstar the Great.
Countless people were deeply shocked by the overwhelming anomaly. They were dumbfounded and lost for words for a long time.
There were even people who knelt down and bowed in worship, pleading that such a "miracle" could help them defend against the incoming enemy.
The soldiers of the reformists on the ground, on the other hand, formed a neat battle formation under the command of their "superiors" and faced the black dragon. They turned on the public communication channel, ready to accept the teachings from their superiors.
Wuying Qi's primary target was not the people on the capital planet. It was just a collateral effect of the brainwaves that he spread out.
The people on the capital planet did not know how terrifying the black flood dragon was yet, but they would know very soon.
The black flood dragon charged towards the sun.
…
In the Empyrean Terminus Sector, the closest point where the fifth planet and the fourth planet, the Empyrean Terminus, crossed.
A splendid coalition fleet was marching toward the enemy — no, the prey — no, the "toy" that was about to be crushed by it unhurriedly with the brutality and elegance.
As far as one's eyes could see, the exhaust flames of the starships constituted an overwhelming river of flames that eclipsed all the stars in the universe.
The starships were so densely packed that the spiritual shields were rubbing and colliding nonstop, raising colorful ripples, as if they were covering the unprecedented army with colorful clouds and bright armor. After every step forward, it would leave a trace that was as intense as fire behind. Thousands of exhaust flames left the traces in the sea of stars and darted toward the capital like thousands of burning arrows!
At this moment, from the ace fleet commanders standing on the bridge to the sailors at the bottom floor in the sultry cabins, nobody doubted the upcoming victory.
The entire Empyreal Terminus Sector had been swept by the four families. Almost every space fortress and planetary defense base had fallen into their hands.
Also, they had dispersed into the most aggressive battle formation, allowing them to unleash the maximum firepower in a moment.
The troops of the reformists were still hiding in the orbit of the capital planet or even in the atmosphere. They were like ostriches that buried their heads in the sand, thinking that the enemy would disappear if they could not see it.
How hilarious!
Many Immortal Cultivators who belonged to the four families were already rubbing their fists, thinking about how to vent their delight after the capital was conquered.
Right then, the black ray of light shot out of the capital planet passed through the vast sea of stars and darted at the sun.
At first, nobody or any instrument noticed the ray of light.
After all, its target was not the ace fleets of the four families. Also, in the vast sea of stars, it was even more insignificant than a narrow, long line.
However …
The distance between the capital planet and the sun was about six hundred light seconds.
Ten minutes after the black ray of light was shot at the sun, the sun reacted.
At this moment, countless soldiers of the ace fleets of the four families were staring at the glorious sun.
For the soldiers who were cramped in the narrow cabins and could not vent their killing intent yet, the sun was almost their only reference. The capital planet was too small and lackluster to show up in the sea of stars at this moment.
There was no telling who discovered it first, but a tiny black spot appeared on the sun. It was both like the noise of the transmission of light and shadow, like the dust on the lens of a crystal camera, and more like their own illusion.
However, after waiting for a long time, the black spot did not disappear. Instead, it grew larger and larger, as if …
The sun opened a hundred pairs of black eyes at the same time and stared at the fleet thoughtfully, which was the strongest and most arrogant fleet of the civilization of mankind.
The most absurd and terrifying scene should've raised the exclamations of countless soldiers.
However, both the bottom-level soldiers and the commanders on the bridge were so awed by the nightmarish picture that they forgot to react for a moment. Their heartbeats and breaths were even taken away.
The black eyes on the sun continued to expand. Several black eyes merged together, turning into wriggling and twisting black spots. Gradually, they turned into ferocious, deep, angry, and calm faces. In the end, all the faces converged into a huge face, a face that looked like a bloody mouth.
It was exactly Blackstar the Great.
Of course, the power of the Gold Crystal Pyramid was not enough to cause such unbelievable changes on the surface of a star, but it was enough to amplify mental attacks and cast all the people who were bathed in the sunlight into horrible nightmares. It also affected their retinas and visual nerves, making them unable to tell the difference between reality and illusion. They were lost in Wuying Qi's will.
In everybody's crazy hallucinations, the sun continued expanding. It had been completely corrupted into black by the black spots, and hundreds of black tongues of fire were extended out. Each tongue of fire was tens of millions of kilometers long and could've tied up the asteroids nearby easily, not to mention their dust-like fleet. Before the tongues of fire reached them, the solar storm had already turned into destructive waves and highly penetrative particles that swept across their starships and the bases behind them, filling every cabin, every pathway, every space shuttle, and every Crystal Suit on the starships. It even filled everybody's ears, eyes, brains, and soul.
Nobody, whether or not they looked at the sun directly, could resist its power.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Beep! All the starships were shrieking, and panicked ripples were spreading out on every light beam. The crazily bouncing numbers on the control panel reminded the starships that the energy and radiation output of the star closest to them had been increased by an order of magnitude in only five minutes, and it was about to deal a paralyzing blow to the starships' spiritual shields, engine compartments, and magical equipment units that were running at a high speed. Even the soldiers who did not take level-nine anti-radiation measures might be exposed to the fatal dose of radiation, resulting in irreversible damage.
But none of the soldiers or even the commander cared about such a minor injury, because everyone was immersed in the illumination of the black sun, and also immersed in a cosmic movement that seemed to flow from ancient times to the future.
Every one of them was a tiny drop of water in the river of civilization, a tiny note in the magnificent movement. They could not change anything, and they could not control anything. They could only blend into the river and the movement as much as they could, singing, surging, following, and surging.
Amidst the surging of the long river and the singing of the movement, their brains seemed to rely on the brilliance of the sun to condense into an unprecedentedly large net that covered the sky and the sun. They gained an understanding that could not be described with words.
The torrents of information that Wuying Qi poured into Li Yao's brain in the Gold Crystal Pyramid below the ground of the capital planet were also poured into those people's heads incessantly.
However, compared to Wuying Qi's "persuasion" on Li Yao, the indoctrination this time was much simpler and more straightforward, with the air of irrefutability.
Of the soldiers who received the instillation in the first round, many of them could not bear the violent waves that were enhanced by the sun in their brains. In a trance, they were bleeding, their eyeballs were bulging, and their eardrums were torn apart. In the end, their cerebral vessels all exploded, and they collapsed to the ground, dying miserably on the spot.
Some of them, because of the serious conflicts between Wuying Qi's indoctrination and their beliefs, could neither resist Wuying Qi's will that had been magnified by the sun nor reverse their beliefs. They were immediately mentally deranged and turned into lunatics who knew nothing but killing and howling beasts.
But more people were like drowning people who were mired in a black swamp. After passing the initial confusion and panic, the craze of hypnosis popped up on their faces. Their brains had been deeply branded with Wuying Qi's will by the power of the sun, giving rise to unquestionable and unthinkable new beliefs.
