"Here, my Cosmos Ring!"
Surrounded by the devils, Long Yangjun quickly took off the Cosmos Ring from her finger and threw it at Li Yao. "Three minutes. I'll try to hold on for you for three minutes. Hurry up!"
"Alright!"
Brilliance was blinking on Li Yao's fingers. Dozens of bizarre-shaped maintenance tools that were as thin as the wings of cicadas were rolling on his fingertips like liquid metal. Two Cosmos Rings, enshrouded in silver brightness, were flying up and down between his fingertips and the tools.
If he had molecular-level scanning magical equipment, it would've been a piece of cake to repair the Cosmos Rings. However, in such a shabby and dangerous environment, he could only try his best!
"Die!"
Wuying Qi, who was not far away, seemed to be in the period of conflict between the forces of "Immortal Cultivators" and "Demonic Cultivators", as Li Yao had guessed correctly. Not only was he unable to do anything, he could not even summon his Colossus. He could only issue orders coldly and command his subordinates to attack.
The dozens of bald demonic cultivators lunged at Li Yao like wolves and tigers, trying to snatch the Cosmos Rings in his hands or at least interrupt his emergency maintenance.
The eyes of those devils had turned into two fountains of blood. Earsplitting shrieks were echoing from their throats, and the craziest brainwaves were unleashed from their brains, releasing viruses on the mental level blatantly.
If it were a regular Cultivator, they would've been assimilated by them and turned into uncontrollable devils.
It was a pity that Li Yao and Long Yangjun's levels could not be measured by the level of regular Cultivators.
Li Yao boasted the mental devil and the heir of Mo Xuan. He was highly adaptable and immune to tenebrum energy.
It was needless to mention Long Yangjun. With the heritage of the Nuwa Clan, she was essentially an heir of the extraterrestrial devils and an expert in manipulating tenebrum energy.
"Tenebrum energy?"
Long Yangjun smiled. She was enshrouded in a translucent crystal armor, and she was holding a crystal whip in each of her hands. But with the boost of spiritual energy, the soft whips could be transformed into sharp swords at any moment.
She was not affected by the tenebrum energy of the bald devils at all. Instead, she dashed among the devils agilely like a fish in water. With the brilliance of crystals popping up, broken limbs were flying everywhere, and heads were rolling on the ground.
Even the ferocious devils could not continue fighting after their heads and limbs were chopped off.
"Such strength!"
Wuying Qi's face changed greatly. Looking at the energy around Long Yangjun that was even more evil and chaotic than the spiritual energy, his face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping. "If you practice the tenebrum energy too, why are you stopping my plan?"
"Because you haven't grasped the true meaning of tenebrum energy at all!"
Long Yangjun crossed her arms, and the crystal whips turned into countless phantoms, mincing the last few bald devilmen into pieces. "It is exactly because of people like you who have been corrupted by tenebrum energy without knowing it and whose desires and ambitions have expanded infinitely that Pangu and human beings regarded tenebrum energy as a forbidden power. They stayed away from it or even completely isolated it, not having the courage to explore its mysteries!
"In order to introduce tenebrum energy to the entire civilization, I have to eliminate guys like you first. Is there a problem?"
Long Yangjun squatted deeply. Her round, firm legs unleashed a force that could blow up the ground, and she darted toward Wuying Qi in a streak of brilliance.
The bloody light and the crystal light continued to clash. In just a few seconds, they had collided over a thousand times. It was impossible to see their figures clearly. The only thing that could be seen was the horrifying spiderweb cracks that appeared on the ground around them.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
On one of his knees not far away, Li Yao rubbed his hands against the air at such a high speed that they were almost a thousand degrees high. He was really pouring all his knowledge into his fingertips to repair the rune arrays that were destroyed by Wuying Qi in a race against time.
However, Wuying Qi's method was quite subtle and sordid. He had left two hibernating forces inside the two Cosmos Rings, which were like two crystal bombs with high sensitivity. One moment of carelessness and the retrieval mechanism of the two Cosmos Rings would be completely destroyed, and the Colossi would be trapped and unable to free themselves.
However anxious Li Yao was, he could only try to control his shivering nerves and "remove the bombs" slowly.
Time went by one second after another. When Long Yangjun and Wuying Qi separated again, it was so long that a whole year seemed to have passed.
However, only one minute had passed in real time. Li Yao had only just figured out the patterns of Wuying Qi's remaining strength.
Long Yangjun, on the other hand, had already been blown backward and smashed into him brutally. Both of them were almost broken.
"Watch out!"
Ignoring the pain all over his body, Li Yao protected the two Cosmos Rings first. If the two trump cards were lost, they would really have to surrender. "Didn't you say that you would buy three minutes for me?"
"You also said that this plan is foolproof and easy!"
The crystal armor on Long Yangjun's body was broken. The crystal armor was not a piece of external magical equipment but part of her body. It equaled to a natural strengthened external skeleton that boasted keen senses and high permeability of spiritual energy. Naturally, she was in excruciating pain because of the broken bones.
She almost vomited her guts out. She said angrily, "Plans can't keep up with changes. What can I do? Why don't we switch roles? You deal with Wuying Qi, the heir of the Blood God, and I'll repair the Cosmos Rings?"
"There's no need to argue. It's all the same."
Wuying Qi's particularly twisted and evil body slowly surfaced from the black fog again like a burning fire of blood. His voice was even more hoarse and low, as if it were a murmur from the deepest level of hell. "You're all going to die anyway. Everybody in the Empyreal Terminus Sector is going to die today!"
As he spoke, the redness at the tip of his hair spread upward and turned his hair completely red. The black nerves that had just withered and broken wriggled and expanded again, only to turn into the same appalling red.
Wuying Qi's mental network was being repaired and sending out the most frenzied and out of control forces.
Dozens of bald devilized people were executed by Long Yangjun, but more of them surfaced from the black fog and bared their sharp tusks at Li Yao and Long Yangjun. Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi!
Zi! Zi! Zi!
With their brainwaves as the fuel, Wuying Qi's brainwaves, mixed with the frenzied tenebrum energy, were sent out through the Gold Crystal Pyramid again, turning into a raging bolt of bloody lightning that slashed the sky and darted at the sun!
…
On the space battlefield, the black spots on the sun had been dimming and solidifying, but under the boost of the bloody brilliance, a destructive chain reaction was restarted. Blood blossomed from the black spots, and the intensity of the radiation and the high-energy particles increased again!
The sun just now was like a black eye that stared at the sea of stars coldly.
The sun at this moment was like a broken black eyeball, from which blood was savaging the world like a fountain!
A lot of starships in the ace fleets of the four families had almost run out of spiritual shields in the first place, and their units were all overloaded. It was impossible for them to resist the sudden increase in the intensity of the solar storm at all. As a result, they turned into terrifying incinerators in the blink of an eye. The fire licked the cabins along the pathways one after another, burning all the Immortal Cultivators who were not crazy, about to go crazy, or already crazy into ashes.
The starships that were still maintaining the minimal spiritual shield were not much better. The solar radiation pierced into the heads of the crew members directly like invisible swords that could pierce through iron walls, stirring up their last bit of rationality brutally and completely collapsing their mental defense line that was riddled with holes. In their crazy laughter, life and spiritual energy were mixed together and turned into terrifying tenebrum energy, turning them into the Demonic Cultivators of the lowest level who knew nothing but destruction and slaughter!
The ace fleets of the four families suffered consecutive heavy blows, and it was impossible for them to recover their combat ability.
But it did not mean that Li Yao and Lei Chenghu's side could take advantage of the situation.
It was because Xiaoming, Wenwen, and A Boxing Champion, the three information lives and the spiritual puppets under their command, were also corrupted by the solar storm ruthlessly.
Information lives were highly dependent on crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus in the first place, and they were most vulnerable to the indiscriminate interference attacks.
At first, the interference released by Wuying Qi through the enhancement of the sun was more inclined to attack the brain than the crystal processors. Also, Xiaoming, Wenwen, and A Boxing Champion had fully optimized and defended themselves, so they managed to resist the first round of the solar storm.
But right now, Wuying Qi had been bedeviled and infuriated the sun without caring about anything, unleashing a storm that would sweep, disrupt, and destroy everything. Naturally, Xiaoming, Wenwen, and A Boxing Champion were not spared. Zi! Zi!
Zi! Zi! Zi!
Zi! Zi! The only sound left in the communication channel was the sound of serious interference. Xiaoming and Wenwen, who were on the surface of the planet, and A Boxing Champion, who was on the space battlefield, had lost contact. Also, they both sensed the extreme depression and severe corruption. In the case of human beings, they felt like they were in a secret chamber that was filled with fatal gas without oxygen!
"It's so uncomfortable …"
Xiaoming struggled to say, "Our 'virtual neural network' has been attacked indiscriminately on a large scale. It is barely possible for us to maintain the basic information exchange ability. We can only exist in a stand-alone mode!"
"If we are in such a situation despite the protection of the atmosphere, Uncle A Boxing Champion's situation must be even worse."
Wenwen also said worriedly, "I wonder if he can still maintain the control of the space gate."
"Even if he can control the space gate, it won't help."
"The solar storm is getting fiercer and fiercer," Xiaoming said. "The spiritual and magnetic environment of the Empyreal Terminus Sector is too complicated. If we jump over now, we will be dead for sure. However splendid the fleet is, they will be crushed and annihilated by the solar storm!"
The space gate was just a lighthouse. However bright a lighthouse was, it could only guide the sailing route at best. But if the surging tides were too fierce, it would be difficult for the fleet to reach the port safely.
"We have to inform Boss Bai and General Lei and ask them to stop the jump immediately."
Wenwen said, "When the starship and the crew are just out of the four-dimensional jump state, they will be in the weakest state. Unless the intensity of the solar storm stops increasing and decreases by at least 30%, they won't be able to resist it!"
"That's impossible. The jump has already begun. I've detected abnormal space ripples near the space gate."
