After he made the resolute vow, the electric arcs around Lu Qingchen were obviously glittering to a higher level, as if countless raging dragons were soaring into the sky and condensing into an enormous word 'heaven' behind him. Then, it collapsed abruptly and turned into a halo that revolved around him.
It was almost like Lu Qingchen had completely established his belief, and he would not hesitate to go against all the stars and the entire universe!
Faced with the scene, Li Yao could only smile bitterly. His bitter smile was mixed with the utmost regret and sorrow.
"It's been more than a hundred years, Qingchen. No matter how much your appearance has changed, your real self has never changed. You are still the stubborn, vigilant young man who believes in nobody but himself."
Li Yao sighed.
"Yes. Not only have I not changed, even your real self that is hidden under your twisted and sordid appearance has not changed, either. I was wrong about you just now," Lu Qingchen said coldly.
Lu Qingchen said coldly, "People like you and me are hard to change in the first place. Once we change, it will be meaningless."
"That's right. If you can be convinced by my words, you wouldn't be the Lu Qingchen that I know. It seems that I only have one choice now, which is to wake you up by beating you hard."
Li Yao's voice gradually turned cold and hideous. "You've forced me to do this, Qingchen. You are too naïve. You know nothing about real strength!"
The data swirls and information turbulences around Li Yao gradually became chaotic, dirty, and surging, as if a new, mysterious, and powerful strength was surging out crazily from the depths of his soul that seemed as weak as an earthworm!
"This —"
Lu Qingchen was shocked at first. Then he sneered. "You're bluffing and bluffing again. You've played your last trump card and almost died together with the Fuxi. How can you still maintain such a high computational ability that you can summon the wind and rain and destroy the world in the virtual space? Do you not feel that it is a waste of time and even an insult to each other's wisdom for the two of us right now? "
"You don't understand, you don't understand."
Li Yao's power grew stronger and stronger, but his smile grew more and more bitter. His trembling voice even contained incomparable pain. "You really don't understand what kind of power you've provoked. You don't know what kind of terrifying beast you've released. You're playing with fire, young man. And now, this mass of monstrous demonic flames has become so ferocious that even I can't control it.
"As an elder, my last advice to you is to run.
"It's true, Qingchen. While I still have a shred of reason left, I have to suppress it and run! Remember, you must not be swallowed by it. If you are, everything will be over. Not only the Federation, the Imperium, and the Holy League, but even the entire human civilization and the Pangu Universe will be over. Everything will turn into … a bloody ocean! "
"You, what are you talking about?"
Although Lu Qingchen had been highly vigilant about Li Yao's shamelessness and schemes, he was still greatly alarmed when he saw that Li Yao was in so much pain right now.
He had indeed sensed that the weirdest strength was flowing out of the gaps of Li Yao's soul and was modifying or 'upgrading' his soul. The previously plain and somewhat sleazy earthworm was gradually enshrouded in glamorous gold brilliance. The gold brilliance grew brighter and brighter, to the point that even Lu Qingchen's giant of light could not bear it anymore.
"Run, Qingchen, run!
"I really … can't control myself. Ahhhhhhh!
"You can't beat it. Run while I still have my last shred of rationality!
"B * stard, I will never let you devour Lu Qingchen. For the Federation, for the civilization of mankind, I will fight you to the end!
"Pi pi pa pa pa, pi pi pa pa pa!"
Inside the gold light, Li Yao's hysterical roars were echoing, along with the surging electric arcs and the explosions of the soul, each louder than the last.
Lu Qingchen felt that his blood was freezing. Although he did not really have a throat, he could not help but swallow a few mouthfuls of nonexistent saliva in a row.
"What — what the hell is going on?"
Lu Qingchen mumbled to himself with a gloomy expression.
BOOM!
When a deafening roar like that of a bell rang out from the golden brilliance, and the golden brilliance scattered in all directions, Li Yao finally revealed his soul that was incomparably clear again.
"This is —"
Lu Qingchen gasped hard. "Transformation?"
Yes, it was the legendary transformation, and the transformation of the soul that was far more advanced than the mutations of the fleshly body. At this moment, Li Yao was still in the shape of a soft earthworm, but all the flagella on his body were standing proudly and almost twice as long. They were all in the purest gold. Purple electric arcs were even dancing on every flagella. As the flagella shivered, cracking noises were echoing nonstop!
Lu Qingchen: "…"
Xiaoming: "…"
Wenwen: "…"
"Huff, huff, huff, huff, huff, huff. Sorry to have kept you waiting. This is my latest transformation. I can perform the same transformation three times. Qingchen, are you sure you want to be an enemy of Uncle Li who has such a magnificent golden flagellum?"
Lu Qingchen: "… Go to hell, you pretentious, stalling guy!"
Countless interconnected thorns of light suddenly protruded out of the giant of light. His entire arm was like a long whip that was entangled by countless thorns as he slapped the little earthworm with the golden flagella. After an explosion, Li Yao was hit squarely, like a fly that had been hit precisely by a fly swatter. He was immediately reduced to a mess. The golden flagella were broken one after another and completely obliterated in the ocean of data. Even the remnants of his soul were thrown into the depths of the dirty and chaotic information streams like a kite whose string had been cut.
"Aya!"
Li Yao screamed miserably.
"Dad!"
The two kids exclaimed at the same time and glared at Lu Qingchen.
However, they had barely been tortured by Fuxi just now. It was already difficult for them to maintain the status of 'plankton'. How could they have the strength to attack Lu Qingchen?
Lu Qingchen sniffed and did not bother to bother with the two little fellows. Instead, he darted toward where Li Yao had fallen. His arms were brighter and brighter, as if they had turned from thorns to lightning and reforged into two unstoppable sabers of lightning.
The sabers crossed each other, drawing a cross of death.
Lu Qingchen's eyes were as sharp as lightning as he searched for Li Yao in the data streams.
Xiaoming and Wenwen tried to harass him, only to be blown away by Lu Qingchen's flames of light time and time again.
Suddenly, Lu Qingchen came to a halt.
He narrowed his eyes at first. Then, his arms rubbed against each other at a high speed. In the end, even his back was arched, and sharp thorns were erupting out of his back.
He was like a ferocious animal that had encountered a natural enemy. His natural wariness was boosted to the maximum.
"This is impossible."
Lu Qingchen moaned in disbelief. "What kind of power is this? It's so dark, terrifying, bloody, and brutal. It's — it's almost the embodiment of slaughter and destruction!"
"This is —"
Xiaoming and Wenwen both emitted shivering brilliance. They were dying like fireflies in a storm. "Not good. Not good. Dad really can't control himself anymore!"
Gudu, Gudu, Gudu, Gudu …
Deep inside the turbulence of data, dirty bubbles popped up one after another. Inside every bubble was malice and evil thoughts that seemed to be concrete. Like thick venom, they polluted the entire ocean of data into darkness, like a swamp of stinky and corruption.
From the depths of such a swamp, something was slowly wriggling and popping up.
No. It was not Li Yao's little earthworm, but a terrifying animal that had been enlarged ten thousand times, as if it had just escaped from a primeval nightmare!
It boasted a body two to three times larger than Lu Qingchen's giant of light. Its gray and brown skin was covered in black stripes. Among the stripes were wrinkles and sucking discs. Among the wrinkles, there were also hairy tentacles that looked like intestines.
Every time the sucking discs swallowed or the wriggled of the wrinkles, astronomical data and information would be swallowed by it. After being digested, absorbed, and corrupted, the data would be released as black venom. The indescribable horror inside the venom was enough to drive everybody who came in contact with it crazy within 0.1 seconds. Even the most pious Cultivator was no exception.
The most dreadful part was its head. It did not have a real head, but the front end of its limbs was a bloody mouth. Inside the mouth were circles of sharp teeth that seemed to have no end. From the sharp teeth, a bunch of tongues that were dancing crazily like vipers could be seen!
The bloody mouth was a hundred times more efficient at swallowing data streams than the sucking discs and the wrinkles. It was almost swallowing the entire virtual space.
At first glance, it looked like a 'sandworm', a ferocious animal unique to many desert planets. Of course, it was a version after countless mutations and nightmares.
Or more precisely, it was one of the most brutal alien beasts that wandered beyond the Pangu Civilization Alliance in the primeval times, the Taotie!
"Hehe. Hehehehe!"
The ferocious animal that looked like a Taotie chuckled in a low voice. Crimson brightness flashed from the bloody mouth that was as deep as an abyss. It stared at Lu Qingchen with covetousness as if it were starving.
"A * shole. You — you are bluffing again!"
Lu Qingchen gnashed his teeth, his wariness higher than ever.
"Bluff? Haha, Nephew Lu, could it be that you don't recognize me? I've always been thinking about you, especially that tender and juicy Divine Soul of yours. Just how fresh and sweet is it? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I really want to … taste it again. "
