Li Yao had been through countless space jumps, but he had never seen space ripples of such an enormous scale that were surging among the dark stars at the same time.
It was like a million elephants — no, a million violent, bloodthirsty, and gargantuan dinosaurs were trying to pass through the eye of a needle at the same time.
Li Yao could not imagine how many crystals and fuel the people of the Holy League had consumed to plan the space jump of such a large scale, and how much computational ability it had cost them to mobilize so many starships and the Supreme Battle Fortress that was as large as an asteroid in order to teleport the materials that had a total weight of ten thousand tons to several lightyears away at the same time.
Also, Li Yao knew very well that, when such a dense mass of materials was gathered for the jump, no matter how delicate the coordination was, how well-protected the safety measures were, and how lucky they were, at least a few starships would have been destroyed.
They might have directly jumped into the planets and stars of the Empyreal Terminus Sector, or they might have overlapped with other starships in the four-dimensional space, resulting in a destructive explosion on the atomic level. Countless starships and their crew members nearby would have vanished instantly.
The indescribable cruel outcome was enough for any crew member in their right mind, be they Cultivators or Immortal Cultivators, to reject such a suicidal attack.
Only the people of the Holy League, who had no sense of self and regarded themselves as insignificant worker bees or soldier bees in the entire 'bee swarm', could adopt such an insane and fearless tactic.
Li Yao could not stop it. He could only 'watch' the three-dimensional universe around him being torn apart by the crazily surging black ripples. The previously stable space was twisted and blurred, and the glittering exhaust flames turned into colorful kaleidoscopes. He, as well as the entire Fuxi fleet, entered the four-dimensional space again.
This time, Li Yao had experience.
He was like the first batch of fish that crawled on the land and gradually evolved into amphibians, grasping the ability to move freely in the swamp.
He swallowed and chewed the pieces of the four-dimensional space as naturally as breathing.
Infinite data flooded into him. The firewalls of all the mainframe crystal processors in the Fuxi fleet collapsed in the four-dimensional space and posed no hindrance to him at all.
Li Yao was planning to take the great opportunity to crawl his' tentacles' into the super crystal processors that carried the 'Fuxi system', but a subtle anomaly disrupted his recklessness in time.
It was as if … a venomous snake hiding in the deepest crevice had sensed the existence of its own kind.
"Eh?"
Li Yao thought quickly and aimed his "Thought Touch" at the four members of the yaksha squad.
In the four-dimensional space, the metal cocoon that sealed Chu Zhixiao and the rest of them completely collapsed, turning into silver streaks of brilliance that surrounded their bodies. Their bodies were like a fountain that was gushing out infinitely, and their souls were blossoming like flowers.
Li Yao discovered that four streams of 'venom' that were similar to his' tentacles' flowed out of the souls of Chu Zhixiao and the rest of them without a sound. They crossed all the barriers and swam toward the bridge.
"It's Lu Qingchen, the King of Puppets!"
Li Yao pondered for a moment and realized what was going on. "No wonder the guy was so fearless that he detonated his soul and pretended that he was heavily wounded. He even allowed the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters to slice his remaining soul for study without being able to resist at all.
"As it turns out, he had hidden the most sordid forces in his soul in the brains of the four members of the yaksha squad a long time ago!
"When did it happen exactly?
"Yes. Perhaps it was on 'Eternal Light', during the riot in Light City. Ah. He released the 'Fury Virus' and turned Light City into a hellish slaughterhouse not just to attract the attention of the Ultimate Benevolence Masters but also to corrupt the brains of the four members of the yaksha squad under the disguise of intense killing, fury, and other negative emotions so that he could implant the most critical virus in them secretly, which was enough to break the firewall of the Fuxi system and the mental defense of the Ultimate Benevolence Masters!
"Or maybe, earlier than that, he had already played tricks on the brains of Chu Zhixiao and the rest of them through mental attacks during the great explosion of 'Light Chaser'. It was not until this moment, when the Fuxi fleet entered the disintegration state in the four-dimensional space and the defense of the crystal processors and the human brain was lowered to the lowest level that he launched the fatal attack!
Human beings were creatures in the three-dimensional world, and crystal processors were magical equipment in the three-dimensional world, too. When they entered the four-dimensional space, they were at their most vulnerable and vulnerable to attacks in the first place.
When Li Yao was in the Xing Yao Federation, he had suffered the mental attack of 'extraterrestrial devil Mo Xuan' during a space jump. Had it not been for Li Yao's timely awakening, he would've been dragged into the 'Spiriters' Realm 'by Mo Xuan and doomed for all eternity.
Lu Qingchen's methods were exactly the same as those of Mo Xuan. Naturally, he was capable of spreading viruses in the four-dimensional state and corrupting the brains of the enemy.
It was a pity that he had run into Li Yao again, who was more or less stronger than him after a comprehensive upgrade, Li Yao!
Li Yao's soul was hiding in the chaotic streams of data while he observed Lu Qingchen's movement coldly.
He saw that the four streams of black venom snuck into the cockpit and raised their heads like the tongues of vipers before they crawled into the ten thousand crystal brains.
Although the ten thousand crystal brains were the super magical equipment that contained the essence of the technology of the primeval civilizations, their defense ability in the four-dimensional space was no different from that of the crystal processors produced by human beings right now.
Li Yao could clearly see that the crystal brains were 'falling' one after another. They were corrupted by the venom and turned black.
Also, the blackness was spreading like a virus from one crystal brain to two, from two to four, from four to eight, from eight to sixteen, and from sixteen to thirty-two. The number of infections was increasing exponentially. After only a moment, more than thirty percent of the crystal brains had been contaminated by Lu Qingchen's mysterious air.
Before, it was the 'Fuxi system' that was absorbing information from Lu Qingchen's broken soul incessantly.
However, as more and more crystal brains were infected, the "Fuxi system" poured data into Lu Qingchen's soul nonstop, allowing Lu Qingchen's lackluster soul to regroup and become even stronger and more dominating than before.
"Lu Qingchen is taking a risk by using the Great Universal Shift!"
Li Yao thought to himself. The five Ultimate Benevolence Masters thought that the vegetative young man whose brain was deformed was Lu Qingchen's original body. Even if Lu Qingchen was an extraterrestrial devil, his soul and brain would be inseparable once he possessed the young man.
"Little did they know that Lu Qingchen was a 'devil of the Spiritual Nexus' who had long grasped the ability to travel freely between the human brain and the crystal processor and live in the Spiritual Nexus. He was using the brain of the vegetative young man as bait to trade for the mainframe crystal processor of the 'Fuxi system'. If his scheme worked out, the entire Fuxi fleet would have become his body!
Such a plan was too dreadful.
Li Yao's soul was restless for a long time before he finally managed to hold back the urge to stop Lu Qingchen right now.
The five Ultimate Benevolence Masters couldn't be five pigs who did not notice the enemy's arrogant plan, could they?
It would be better for him to wait until Lu Qingchen was seriously injured before he took advantage of the chaos. Chances were that he would be able to complete Lu Qingchen's unfinished business and turn the entire Fuxi fleet into his body. What about Vulture Li Yao's body?
However, the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters were truly five ignorant pigs. Lu Qingchen had almost completed the full invasion of the 'Fuxi system', but they still did not react at all.
Furthermore, Lu Qingchen's' venom 'even flowed toward the brains of the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters through the private lines of the Spiritual Nexus between Ultimate Salvation and the five Supreme Fortresses, but the five messengers of the gods did not notice it at all.
"It can't be. Could it be that these five fellows really only know how to play tricks? Could it be that they only became 'God's Messengers because they obtained the power from the primeval relics by chance? In fact, they are not like the real human experts who have gone through the tempering of their Daoist hearts and the tempering of cruel battles?"
Li Yao thought to himself, Right now, Lu Qingchen's plan has mostly worked out. What's he waiting for?
Pausing for a moment, Li Yao figured out the answer without the mental devil's reminder.
Got it. He's waiting for the moment when the Fuxi fleet jumps to the center of the Empyreal Terminus Sector.
It's like the moment when the landing ships arrive at the enemy's beachhead, they will certainly be attacked by the fiercest firepower of the defenders. That's the moment when the defense is most vulnerable.
Right now, Lu Qingchen has only completed the step of 'implanting the virus'. That moment will be the best opportunity to seize the Fuxi fleet with the outbreak of the virus!
Hardly had the thought popped up in Li Yao's head when he sensed that the space around was shivering. The kaleidoscope collapsed and solidified, returning to normal.
The four-dimensional space was shrinking quickly and 'falling' into the three-dimensional space again.
They had arrived!
They're so fast!
Li Yao thought to himself, Right. The Fuxi fleet was lurking around the Empyreal Terminus Sector in secret in the first place. It would've taken them decades to arrive at a distance of several lightyears with the regular cruising speed. But in a space jump, it will only take them one moment. Why didn't they know that the defenders of the Empyreal Terminus Sector, Xiaoming and Wenwen —
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before Li Yao had time to think, stormy bombardments and explosions were already echoing from all directions.
They were like a bowl of ice that had been poured into boiling oil. The most intense reaction was immediately raised.
Although most of the forces of the Imperium were mired in the swamp of the civil war and far away from the capital, the entire defense line of the capital had made a huge step forward to a fully-automatic defense under the comprehensive construction and modification of Xiaoming, Wenwen, A Boxing Champion, and other information lives.
