The black hole was like a behemoth that devoured the universe. It opened its bloody mouth and swallowed Arsonist in one gulp.
Arsonist, which was burning with fire, seemed to have vanished from the world after it was swallowed by the darkness. Neither its surging waves, its bouncing flames, nor the firepower that Li Yao launched crazily could be perceived by the outside world.
Even Long Yangjun, who was right next to him, could not sense Li Yao and Wuying Qi at all, as if they had fallen into another mysterious and dangerous battlefield through the black hole. All their information had been erased by this world!
In the darkness, Li Yao seemed to have really fallen into a black hole. On one hand, he was suffering from the intense pull that felt like tidal forces, and on the other hand, he was consuming his spiritual energy and ammunition at a visible speed.
What was even more depressing was that the slashes of the Broken Wing Saber and the Broken Wing Sword, the bombardment of the honeycomb-type flying swords, and the crystal cannons did not receive any feedback at all. It was like a hundred consecutive heavy punches that hit nothing. The feeling of fighting against nothingness was almost enough to make one vomit blood.
"Do you feel it? This is the power of Blackhole's Heart. This is my domain!"
Wuying Qi's voice drifted over from the darkness, making it impossible for Li Yao to tell his direction or lock onto his Colossus. "In my domain, nothing can escape from my suppression. However you struggle, it will be in vain."
"Damn you!"
Li Yao waved his giant sword crazily. Theoretically speaking, the aura of his sword should've covered the hundreds of square meters around and minced every inch of space, but he could not touch the armor of Blackhole's Heart at all.
More critically of all, even if he retraced his steps, he could not get out of the darkness — Wuying Qi's domain!
The absolute darkness that could absorb all light, radiation, and information seemed to have replaced reality as a cage that trapped Li Yao. No matter how hard Arsonist struggled, it could not see any light at all.
Sensing the crazily bouncing data in his head, Li Yao immediately realized the terrible situation of Arsonist. Blackhole's Heart's powerful interferences and information warfare abilities had damaged the navigation system, scanning unit, and even the optical components of Arsonist. Even Li Yao's visual and auditory nerves were twisted by Wuying Qi's domain again!
Blackstar the Great was Blackstar the Great. No matter how despicable his personality was, he was definitely one of the strongest supervillains that Li Yao had encountered in the past hundreds of years. With only part of his remaining soul, he was already able to fight the infuriated Li Yao to such an extent!
"Li Yao, where are you?"
Long Yangjun also charged into Wuying Qi's domain with the Heavenly Crystal, bringing brilliance to the world of absolute darkness.
However, the brilliance that looked like crystals only glittered for a moment before it was swallowed by the darkness.
Before Li Yao reached out to Long Yangjun, their communication was corrupted by the darkness, and the communication channel was filled with Wuying Qi's chuckles.
"I don't believe it!"
Gritting his teeth, Li Yao activated "Arsonist" and launched all the ammunitions that the Colossus carried. "To maintain such a terrifying domain, both you and the Colossus will be consumed incessantly. Right now, the two of us are fighting one of you. Let's see how long you can last.
The giant sword slashed the darkness heavily again, raising ripples that were slightly lighter in color. However, the ripples soon returned to normal after a moment, and it was impossible to tell the difference between darkness and darkness.
At the same time, Arsonist suffered a heavy blow from behind. Li Yao staggered and almost fell forward before he could figure out the route of the attack.
Beep! Beep!
Beep! Beep! Beep! Earsplitting alarms echoed over Arsonist. It was not just because of the heavy blow from the back but also because a very weird force in the domain was absorbing the power in Arsonist's spiritual shield incessantly.
Blackhole's Heart could both form a layer of cover and interference in absolute darkness and absorb the spiritual energy of the enemy's Colossus for its own use. It truly deserved to be one of the strongest Colossi in the history of human beings and the national treasure of the Imperium of True Human Beings!
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
Arsonist charged at the depths of the darkness again and again. But it hit the empty space again and again in vain. Gradually, the ammunition and fuel were all used up. Even the spiritual shield was absorbed and weakened by the enemy. Even the Broken Wing Saber and the Broken-Winged Sword were cracking and could not be used anymore.
"Huchi … Huchi … Huchi … Huchi …"
Li Yao breathed so hard that he could barely hold his saber and sword.
Before the battle, Arsonist, which had just been fully repaired by Xiaoming and Wenwen, looked as miserable as if it had just been scourged by dozens of meteor showers, exactly like Li Yao at this moment.
BAM!
The most evil force came from his back again. Li Yao blocked it with his saber and sword out of instinct. Although he managed to resist Blackhole's Heart's fatal attack, the Broken Wing Saber and the Broken-Winged Sword were blown high into the sky and disappeared into the darkness after a few circles.
Li Yao had already launched all the things that Arsonist could launch.
The remaining fuel was far below the warning line, too. It was dangerously red.
It was truly a case of running out of ammunition.
"Now, what are you going to use to waste time?"
Deep in the darkness, Wuying Qi smiled casually.
"I still have this —"
Li Yao roared. He rubbed his body, stepped forward, and spun. The fists of the Arsonist waved at the darkness like drills that were breaking through the sky. "The fists that represent justice and passion!"
Boom!
Wuying Qi seemed to be amused by Li Yao's words.
However, the laughter stopped abruptly after 0.1 seconds. Instead, it was replaced by the sound of metal colliding with metal. It was the sound of a fist heavily smashing into the face and sinking deep into it.
Under the interference of Blackhole's Heart's darkness and Wuying Qi's domain, all the sharpest attacks of Arsonist just now missed their target. By logic, the plain right hook couldn't have hit the target at all.
However, it somehow hit the target unbelievably and blew into Blackhole's Heart's head. Then, it grabbed the components inside Blackhole's Heart's head without bothering about anything else and pulled the enemy's upper body lower.
Arsonist jumped up and hit Blackhole's Heart's chest with its knee like the main gun of a super arsenal warship.
"Kill him!"
All Li Yao's fury, fighting will, and depression were condensed into the roar and blown into Blackhole's Heart's chest with the destructive power that could blow up a planet. Zi! Zi!
Zi! Zi! Zi!
Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi! The head and the chest of Blackhole's Heart were both seriously damaged. Dazzling electric arcs spurted out of the broken chest, outlining the general appearance of a Colossus in the darkness.
The absolute darkness that could devour everything gradually became thinner and clearer. It was like a black fog that was so thick that it couldn't be dispersed, dispersing when it encountered the rising sun!
Without the protection of absolute darkness, Blackhole's Heart, which had revealed its true form, was not as hideous and dominating as Li Yao imagined. It was just a Colossus that was no more than thirty meters tall and glittering like a mirror.
Li Yao had just locked onto it precisely and destroyed the interference and stealth units on its head and chest, which greatly reduced its combat performance. At this moment, Blackhole's Heart was even more panicked than a shrimp whose shell had been peeled off!
Fifty meters to the left of Arsonist, the Heavenly Crystal was also freed from the scourge of darkness. Although it was also heavily wounded, it still had its fists!
"This … is impossible. How can you lock onto Blackhole's Heart? For a thousand years, nobody has ever locked onto Blackhole's Heart and hurt me! "
Wuying Qi paused for a moment and roared hysterically, "My — My body! You've done something to my body! What did you do to me, you shameless cockroach? "
"Nothing. I just drugged you with a drug named 'Drunken Deity'."
Warming up the two iron fists of Arsonist unhurriedly, Li Yao said casually, "There's no need to think about it. It's a drug from the Hundred Smelting Clan forty thousand years ago. It's long lost after the destruction of the Hundred Smelting Clan. There's no reason for you to know it.
"Rest assured, it's not a poison. If it were, you would've smelled something wrong the moment you put it on. As a matter of fact, it's a great tonic that can calm the mind and help with meditation. It's even more effective when the high-level Cultivators are mentally deranged. It's a marvelous drug that only the leaders and elders of the Hundred Smelting Clan are qualified to enjoy. I've searched through the warehouse of materials of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors in order to find enough Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to produce it.
"The effect of the drug is nothing special. It can only suppress your violent spiritual energy, pacify your agitated brain cells, and help you relax your muscles and nerves so that you can enter a state of extreme relaxation and drowsiness. Of course, I was careless when I drugged you, and the dosage was a little too much. But rest assured. Other than letting you have a good sleep, there won't be any sequelae. When you wake up, you will feel particularly refreshed and full of spiritual energy, like a pillar that can hold up the sky!"
"You —"
Wuying Qi was both shocked and infuriated. "Other than the barrier on the back of his head, you even drugged Li Jialing!"
"Isn't it only natural?"
Li Yao said, "Everybody knows that you are going to steal Li Jialing's body as a new carrier, and we are walking into the trap with Li Jialing at such a moment. It's obvious that something is wrong! Although you are stupid, you can't be that stupid. You must've examined him carefully before you possessed him, right?
"It was Li Jialing who proposed the idea of installing barriers on his body and dying together with you, but I didn't think that you would be fooled so easily. Besides, it would've been too unworthy to die with someone like you. So, I slightly modified the plan. The barrier on the back of his head was just a disguise to let you discover it. The 'Drunken Deity', which is colorless, tasteless, and even undetectable by spiritual energy, is the real fatal move.
"The most amazing thing is that the drug is designed to prevent mental derangement and calm your anger in the first place. Also, I specially adjusted the formula. So, when Li Jialing keeps his mind calm, the drug won't be activated at all. It's like a regular strengthening drug. For people of our level who have to swallow dozens of kinds of strengthening drugs every day, you won't be suspicious at all.
"When you unleash the strength of the Divinity Transformation Stage or even the Divinity Branching Stage, ha, it will be marvelous. According to Li Jialing's body, he shouldn't have such immense strength at all. Therefore, he seems to have entered a certain state of mental derangement where his strength is abnormally inflated. Naturally, the drug will be activated.
