"How is it possible?"
Activating the Cosmos Ring and retrieving the Colossus was the simplest gesture. Li Yao couldn't have made a mistake even if his hands were cramping. However, no matter how crazily he injected spiritual energy into the Cosmos Ring, it was like a statue entering an ocean. There was no reaction at all.
No, there was a reaction. When he blew tremendous spiritual energy into the Cosmos Ring without caring about anything and tried to tear the Cosmos Ring apart, a thorny electric arc dashed out of the Cosmos Ring and stung his finger brutally. He couldn't help but cry out miserably.
In his peripheral vision, he also saw that Long Yangjun was shaking her arm hard on the side. Her Colossus "Heavenly Crystal" was also sealed in the Cosmos Ring and could not be retrieved! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Inside Li Yao's head, he recalled what happened just now. Not long ago, in order to win Wuying Qi's trust, the two of them had offered to give the Cosmos Rings that stored their Colossi to him.
As it turned out, Wuying Qi seemed to be unsuspicious of them on the surface, but in fact, he had clenched the two Cosmos Rings hard before he threw them back to them.
Damn it. We've been fooled!
The Divinity Branching Stage Cultivator's "clench" was certainly not a joke. The retrieval rune arrays of the Cosmos Rings must've been seriously sabotaged back then!
No wonder Wuying Qi was so fearless. From the perspective of the supervillain, he had sabotaged Li Yao and Long Yangjun's greatest reliance at first and lured them into the brainwashing space where hundreds of experts were mentally resonating together. It was almost foolproof. Even if the two of them had pretended to surrender at the beginning, they would've confessed their trump cards in the end.
Of course, Wuying Qi did not expect that Li Yao would be so smart as to sabotage his large-scale brainwashing technique in the most ingenious way. He had been caught in a trap of his own making.
But right now, the supervillain was infuriated and tore apart the last bit of camouflage. Li Yao and Long Yangjun were in an awkward situation!
"How can you do this?!"
Realizing everything, Li Yao pointed at Wuying Qi's nose and scolded him bitterly, "As the saying goes, an emperor never lies. How can you be so shameless as an emperor? You said that you would absolutely trust us and return the Colossi to us, but you played such a trick on the Cosmos Rings?
"I despise guys like you who are full of lies, sneaky, and only know how to play tricks behind people's backs. If you are capable, why don't you unlock our Cosmos Rings? Let's have a good fight. If you win, we will … Ouch!"
Before Li Yao finished, Wuying Qi condensed a crimson hand from the void and slapped it at Li Yao overwhelmingly. Li Yao was flipped in midair and vomited blood crazily. Half of his face was bulging, and he couldn't even talk anymore.
"Li Yao!"
Long Yangjun lunged forward, trying to escape with Li Yao, but the surroundings were enshrouded by the black fog and the bloody shadows. It was impossible to tell the way out at all. Long Yangjun was so anxious that she couldn't help but wander in circles. Looking at Li Yao's swollen face, she was infuriated again. "Just stop talking. Did you not notice that the more you talked, the more the enemy's tenebrum energy would soar together with his fury, and the worse the situation would be? You are a classic example of asking for trouble. You are doomed to death for doing so many unjust deeds! "
"What are you talking about? How can you blame me?"
Li Yao said pitifully, "If you hadn't overdone your acting in the beginning and insisted on giving the Colossus to this guy, we wouldn't have been so embarrassed!"
"When we looked at each other, we communicated with our telepathic thoughts and basically explained the situation. What else could I have done if I could've done that?"
Long Yangjun said angrily, "Besides, do you really think he's an idiot? He knew that we were both carrying Colossi, and that your Colossus had broken the Colossi of three experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage including Yue Wushuang's in a row. Do you think he would've allowed us to bring such a dangerous thing into the Gold Crystal Pyramid without taking any precautions? Even if I hadn't given the Colossus to him voluntarily, he would've certainly tampered with our Colossus and asked to inspect it! "
"All in all, the bottom line is …"
Vomiting blood, Li Yao squeezed a weird smile with his swollen face. Staring at Wuying Qi who was walking close, he raised his voice and said, "Wuying Qi, I was right. You are indeed not confident in your Next Sun Plan!
"Even you don't believe that your brainwashing technology is 100% effective and reliable, and you don't believe that you are an omnipotent god. That's why you tampered with our Cosmos Rings as an additional 'insurance'.
"This is the greatest insult you can give yourself, and also the greatest blow you can give to your Dao heart!
"No wonder you were defeated by us in the competition of beliefs on the mental battlefield. Getting to the bottom of it, if you don't believe in the Next Sun Plan yourself, how can you convince us, the millions of Immortal Cultivators, and even mankind that the wretched tomorrow that you speak of will arrive?
"From that perspective, you've already lost. You've completely lost. You've completely destroyed your belief!"
Wuying Qi's hideous face that was full of thick veins cramped violently, as if he were caught in a fierce struggle. But very soon, he gradually calmed down under the cover of the bloody aura.
"Whatever you say, the best response for a sharp-tongued guy like you is to turn a deaf ear to it."
Wuying Qi said casually, "After all, you're going to die today however you struggle!"
"What are you doing exactly?"
Holding Li Yao, Long Yangjun asked in a low voice, "Why aren't you treating your wounds? Why are you wasting so much saliva?"
"I'm refuting him from the perspective of righteousness and belief!"
Li Yao said, "Do you not feel that we have completely crushed him in terms of belief and savaged him to the point that there is not a single piece of armor left? Even if our bodies and souls are destroyed by him, our Daoist hearts are destined to exist forever. Even if his evil plan succeeds, he will only be a pitiful shell without a Daoist heart, an empty walking corpse. Therefore, we have already won! "
"…" Long Yangjun.
"Of course, I need more time to think calmly too. Don't be intimidated by his bluff. Our situation may not be as bad as it seems!"
Li Yao stopped vomiting blood and said calmly, "First of all, he only 'clenched' our Cosmos Rings heavily just now. How many tricks can he have played? Also, he can't have done too much. If the Cosmos Rings are completely destroyed and we discover them instantly, it will be very awkward.
"Therefore, I'm certain that our Cosmos Rings are only damaged on the surface but not at the core.
"I grasped the remarkable skills to repair the Cosmos Rings when I just jumped to the Devilish Scorpion Nebula. As long as you can buy three to five minutes for me, I guarantee that the two Cosmos Rings will be as good as new and our Colossi will be retrieved!"
"Huh? Three to five minutes?"
Long Yangjun looked at the ferocious Wuying Qi who was right next to her and then at Li Yao. "Isn't three to five minutes too short? Why don't I stall this unparalleled supervillain who is in the Divinity Branching Stage in the first place, enhanced by the legacies of the Mad Armageddon, and infuriated right now? Then, you will be able to focus on repairing the Cosmos Ring carefully, okay?"
Li Yao: "… Are you trying to tell me that you can't stall him for three to five minutes?"
Long Yangjun: "Of course. Just look at him right now and feel his fury. It won't last for three to five seconds, brother!"
"He's bluffing!"
Staring at Wuying Qi, Li Yao said coldly, "Have you not noticed that he is still walking close unhurriedly while we have been talking for such a long time? Now and then, he will stop and pose, as if he is waiting for us. What are you doing? We are shooting a movie right now. Do you need some animation or background music?
"Also, don't you find it odd? The legacy of the Mad Armageddon is almost as good as the Supreme Emperor's treasures. If he had used it in the beginning, wouldn't he have been invincible and secured the victory? Would there have been any room for us to play tricks in the gaps?
"So, here comes the question. Why didn't he activate the legacies of the Mad Armageddon in his body at the beginning? Why did he wait until now, when the situation was most dire and he was about to use the mysterious power?
"Of course he can't be merciful, nor can he be so arrogant. If I'm not wrong, he can't completely control the power of the Blood God, or the power itself can cause serious damage to him, or even backfire on his Dao Heart and Soul.
"It must be noted that Wuying Qi is the ancestor of the Immortal Cultivators, and the Mad Armageddon is the strongest demonic Cultivator in history. The beliefs of the Immortal Cultivators and the demonic Cultivators are different. Therefore, there must be serious compatibility problems between his power and the power of the Blood God.
"That's right. That's why he won't use the power of the Blood God unless he has no other choice. Even if he does, it will take a long time to reconcile and solve the problem of the incompatibility of the two forces. Even now, I've analyzed so much, and he's still posing there!
"However cool his pose is, he is not as strong as we imagined. Chances are that he is too weak and divided. Now is the best opportunity to kill him before the two powers inside his body are completely integrated!"
Li Yao struggled to his feet and raised the invisible saber made of flames at Wuying Qi.
"Wuying Qi, I've seen through your weakness. You're doomed!"
Li Yao spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood. He spoke resolutely, one word after another.
"Is that so?"
