On this side, the former Speaker of the Federation was fighting the emperor and the empress dowager of the Imperium. On the other side, some 'inhuman beings' were confronting each other calmly in crystal puppets made of iron.
Xiaoming, Wenwen, and A Boxing Champion from the Holy League had their eyes on Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun, the other two experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage from the Federation.
The reason was simple. Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun were rarely-seen spectral Cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Stage. They did not have fleshly bodies but were controlling battle puppets that were armed to the teeth. At first glance, they did not look very different from the life forms of Xiaoming, Wenwen, and A Boxing Champion.
That was exactly the case.
What was the difference between the so-called 'self-organizing, upgradable database' and the 'soul'? No one could say for sure.
Perhaps the human brain was a crystal processor in the first place, a special crystal processor that used cells instead of crystal chips as the calculation nodes. Both the spectral Cultivators and the information lives were two different branches on the path of human evolution.
"I did not expect that Fellow Cultivator Wu and I would be able to wait until today."
Standing on the halo, Meng Chixin looked at the infinite sceneries of the stars far away with mixed feelings. "We are from a dark, uncivilized age. In our original civilization, the evolution of human beings seemed to have come to an end. Nobody could escape the desperation of corruption and decay in the internal strife. We ventured deep into the relics in pursuit of the slim hope, only to have our fleshly bodies destroyed.
"At that time, we thought that all hope was gone, and that we and the civilization of the Ancient Sages Sector would wither slowly. But we did not expect that we would see the light at the end of the tunnel. The universe is so vast, the world is so marvelous, and the civilization of mankind has so many glamorous changes.
"From the 'ancient times' to the 'modern times', from the Ancient Sages Sector to the center of the cosmos, we met … 'Xiaoming' and 'Wenwen'. You represent the future, and we learned about the multiverse from 'A Boxing Champion', learning the insignificance of the Pangu universe and the vastness of the extraterrestrial lands. It was truly an eye-opener for Fellow Cultivator Wu and I!
"Then, Xiaoming, Wenwen, and A Boxing Champion, please tell us the infinite wonders from the future and the extraterrestrial lands!"
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Swish! "
Inside and outside the halo, hundreds of spiritual puppets that had been crouched into the shape of meteorites were immediately brought to life.
That was the unique advantage of the Divinity Transformation Stage ghosts and information lives. In terms of individual combat ability, they might not be a match for the super experts such as Ding Ling Dong, but Xiaoming, Wenwen, A Boxing Champion, Meng Chixin, and Wu Suiyun could all manipulate a couple of spiritual puppets at will. Each of them was a small army!
Xiaoming's and Wenwen's "bodies" were the essence of the Holy League's thousand years of research and development. Their combat ability was far beyond the high-end Crystal Suit.
A Boxing Champion's "body" was personally refined and adjusted by Li Yao, so it was needless to say how powerful it was.
Meng Chixin's and Wu Suiyun's' bodies', on the other hand, were from the underground of the Kunlun relic and the Ancient Sages Sector. They were filled with the air of antiquity and dominance, too.
Even the vacuum, where soundwaves could not be transmitted, was still stirred up by their intimidating aura and was almost bursting out in cracking noises.
In a moment, the hundreds of ultimate experts locked onto their targets. The atmosphere was so solemn and scorching that even the vacuum was almost detonated.
"Then … let's fight!"
Ding Ling Dong bellowed. The mustard-seed combat suit, which was made of special materials and boasted such high hardness and tenacity that even the flying blades might not be able to cut it open, was ripped apart on the limbs, revealing the crimson skin. The "Blazing Tyrannosaur" bared its tusks first and stomped a meteorite under its feet into powder. With the counterforce, it lunged at Li Jialing and Li Linghai.
However —
She was fast, but somebody was even faster!
A small and agile shadow, as fast as lightning and as fast as a ghost, leaped to her front left after stomping on the stones several times and even shot a stream of sword aura at her inconspicuously.
Ding Lingdang's eyelashes, pupils, and heart did not have the slightest change. It was as natural as breathing. She punched out reflexively and directly shattered the sword aura, as if she was driving away an annoying fly.
Out of her expectation, that was exactly the enemy's purpose.
The enemy never thought that the stream of sword aura could hurt Ding Ling Dong in the first place. He only wanted to lure Ding Ling Dong into punching him so that he could be killed with the waves that looked like enormous tides.
The broken sword aura did not perish in the vacuum but was "weaved" into a soft "net" under the enemy's astonishing control, which caught Ding Ling Dong's overwhelming punch. As if Ding Ling Dong's fist were the engine under his feet, he accelerated his speed to the highest and dashed to the heads of Ding Ling Dong and Li Linghai after crushing more than ten stones on his way.
All the stones that were shattered by him were also reduced to powder. Surrounded by the surging electric arcs, they were condensed into a longsword dozens of meters long that was both tough and soft, which slashed down brutally.
Boom! Crack!
Soundwaves could not be transmitted in the vacuum, but it could not stop the guy's fighting will and sword aura that were a hundred times larger than his body. Seeing the giant sword made of lightning and meteoroids, Li Jialing and Li Linghai both felt greatly shocked. Despite their firm belief in the Divinity Transformation Stage, they were still slightly shaken.
It was a sword that could cut a starship in half!
The wielder, on the other hand, was not in a Colossus. He was not even wearing a Crystal Suit. He did not even unsheathe the marvelous weapons that he was used to. He had only shattered the meteoroids with the surging spiritual energy, and the materials on the ground, and already boasted such power!
"'Sword Maniac' Yan Liren!"
Li Jialing's pupils constricted violently, and gold brilliance beamed out of his eyes.
Li Yao had once talked with him about the heroes in the sea of stars. He had praised 'Sword Maniac' Yan Liren's capabilities without being stingy with his compliments, believing that Yan Liren was one of the few real swordsmen who could kill the ultimate experts above their levels without bothering about the gap between their levels.
"As long as Yan Liren has a sword in his hand, no matter how many Crystal Suits and Colossi are there to stop him. Even the gods and devils may be slain by him!"
That was Li Yao's evaluation of Yan Liren.
Li Jialing was young and vigorous. He did not believe that such a swordsmen existed in the world.
He had thought that even Li Yao was not an exception and truly considered a minor Yuanying swordsman in the isolated and ignorant Ancient Sages Sector to be some sort of swordsmen.
It was not until this moment that Yan Liren's sword glittered in front of his eyes that he realized what a sword attack that transcended levels was.
The sword was Yan Liren's life, Yan Liren's universe, and the devil in Yan Liren's heart.
"Young emperor, the things inside the tomb — the Supreme Emperor's heritage, the Pangu's warships, the ultimate treasures from the primeval times — will all belong to you. I don't want anything!"
Li Jialing sensed Yan Liren's overwhelming will on the unstoppable sword aura. "I only want the Supreme Emperor, the Pangu, the maker of the black wall, the Flood Legion, and even the real Flood. I want them all to fall under my sword!"
Such boldness, such madness, and such a swordsmen!
Li Jialing was both surprised and excited. While admiring Yan Liren, he also boosted his fighting will to the maximum. Instead of hesitating, retreating, or dodging, he simply charged at Yan Liren's sword aura.
"I am … the child of the universe. Nothing can make me retreat or stop me!"
BOOM!
Overwhelming purple flames were surging out of Li Jialing's body like a volcanic eruption. In the middle of the purple flames, a golden lion soared into the sky and lunged at Yan Liren's sword aura.
"Purple Pole True Dragon and Imperial Fire." The two most terrifying forces collided brutally, triggering ninety-nine dazzling waves. All the meteoroids within several square kilometers were shattered into pieces, and the dust was all burnt into a colorful fireball. Inside the fireball, a golden lion seemed to be fighting countless electric currents. The mustard-seed combat suits of the two super experts were immediately riddled with holes.
The two of them retreated at the same time.
They were not hit by the waves but accumulating their strength for a more intense collision.
Right when they retreated, Ding Ling Dong and Li Linghai dashed close, too. The empress dowager of the Imperium and the former Speaker of the Federation dashed into the fireball that had not died out yet without any hesitation.
The fireball immediately fell apart and was enshrouded by their fists and fighting will, turning into the shadows of swords and sabers between them.
The Blazing Tyrannosaur was fighting against the Purple Pole True Dragon, and the Red Dragon was fighting against the True Dragon. In the perception of countless experts nearby, there seemed to be two magnificent, world-devouring dragons that were about to tear apart the halo of the No. 7 planet. For a moment, the two of them hadn't finished their battle yet, but countless experts nearby were already sweating in fear.
"Wasn't it said that Ding Ling Dong made a breakthrough into the Divinity Transformation Stage on the battlefield not long ago? She should be a newcomer in the Divinity Transformation Stage who lacks experience and spiritual energy reserves. How … How can she boast such appalling damage? She can even defeat eight to ten of those seasoned Divinities with one punch, one by one. "
"Also, what's wrong with the empress dowager? Didn't they say that she was exhausted in the battle of the Gold Crystal Pyramid and that it was impossible for her to return to the Divinity Transformation Stage for the rest of her life? It's only been a short while, but her strength has been fully recovered and even improved! "
Countless experts were appalled.
It was also the effect of the so-called "running-in training".
In short, he wanted to let the arrogant and unruly people know who was the real boss and obediently listen to orders, so as to avoid acting rashly in the ruins and harming others and themselves.
In terms of combat ability, Li Linghai, who had just regained the Divinity Transformation Stage, was naturally no match for Ding Ling Dong who was in her prime.
