Li Yao's roar, enhanced by the magical equipment, turned into sharp electric arcs and slashed at the super plasma torrent brutally.
The thousands of artillery shells surrounding the area were also accelerated by his vitality magnetic field. Dozens of them whistled through the air and exploded on the Super Plasma Torrent's body.
The Colossus' Arsonist 'unleashed overwhelming flames of spiritual energy, too, enlarging it into a magnificent giant that was standing on the stars.
Bluffing had been Li Yao's specialty in the first place. Having reached the Divinity Branching Stage, he had even practiced the skill to the acme. The ripples of spiritual energy that he unleashed right now were equal to that of a small fleet at full firepower!
The super plasma torrent was indeed fooled.
After a moment of condensation and transformation, it lunged at Li Yao like a lightning serpent that had extended ten thousand heads.
When the lightning that was thousands of kilometers long suddenly expanded above his head and became tens of thousands of kilometers long and hundreds of kilometers wide, it was no exaggeration to say that every cell inside Li Yao's body was about to be melted.
Had it not been for the fact that the liquid crystal processor 'Little Black' was still covering his body and protecting every inch of his skin carefully, his hair and hair would've been burnt.
"Run!"
Li Yao shrieked. Exerting his strength, he stomped on a meteoroid that he had locked onto long ago and accelerated abruptly, rushing in the stone belt at the highest speed.
Behind him was lightning and thunder, and in front of him was a storm of meteorites. Driving the Arsonist, Li Yao performed the most thrilling and splendid escape in the most desperate situation that he had ever been in his life.
The Colossus weighing hundreds of tons, under his control, was as light as a dry leaf, as unpredictable as a butterfly, and as agile as a spark. Turning into a streak of crimson brilliance, the Colossus accelerated nonstop with the help of the energy of the destruction of the meteoroids, accelerating, and accelerating!
Thunderbolts roared and stretched out their sharp claws from behind him again and again, but they always brushed past him by a hair's breadth. They merely shattered, vaporized, and obliterated hundreds of meteors, turning them into the dense mist that lingered around the plasma, and it added to the supreme might and boundless terror of thunderbolts.
Calculating the trajectories of the incoming meteoroids and calculating the routes that they would take after they were used as stepping stones, Li Yao consumed 120% of his computational ability. After only three to five seconds of running, his brain was boiling and exploding like magma. In order to cool down his brain, he even asked 'Little Black' to draw some of the professional cooling liquids for the Colossi to cool his brain. Although it was effective, it also smeared his entire face into a black coal ball.
He did not dare to jump out of the stone belt and run into the vacuum of space.
In the vacuum of nothing, there was no place for him to take advantage of or dodge. However fast the Colossus was, there was a limit to it. He could not outrun the torrents of plasma that were pure energy.
It was only in the highly unstable halo of 'Gu Shisan' — the eruption belt that looked like a mudslide — that he could accelerate or turn time and time again with the force of gravity of 'Gu Shisan', or consider the gravitational field of 'Gu Shisan' as his' gravitational slingshot 'and kick the massive meteoroids to the super torrent of plasma, weakening the enemy's energy.
Li Yao was never superstitious. He only believed in the objective facts and the laws of nature.
The conservation of energy was a truth that every existence in the Pangu universe had to abide by. Whether or not the super torrent of plasma was a real life, it was bound to release tremendous energy during the process of shattering and vaporizing the meteoroids. Then, it would not be far away from its own exhaustion and obliteration.
It was a race of survival and death.
Li Yao was trying to run it to death with himself as the bait!
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
The super torrent of plasma unleashed thousands of bolts of lightning that interfered with the scanning system of 'Arsonist', filling Li Yao's ears with the roaring wind and the screams of ghosts.
The meteoroids in front of him suddenly became sparse. Li Yao had nowhere to take advantage of, and his speed was slightly slowed down.
The super torrent of plasma appeared only thirty to fifty kilometers away from him in the blink of an eye, like a behemoth that had covered the entire universe and bared thousands of crushing tusks.
It was the most critical moment. Whether he lived or died depended on the gamble!
Li Yao bulged his eyes. Suddenly, he turned off all the units of 'Arsonist'!
The spiritual shield, the force field, the power unit, and even the rune arrays to adjust the temperature inside the Colossus were all turned off by him.
Every pore on his body was locked tightly, trying not to leak out any spiritual energy. Li Yao's face was so pale that he looked like a cold dead body.
'Arsonist' immediately turned into a piece of iron that was drifting with the current. While it was colliding with dozens of meteoroids, it was shaking and drifting along with the current, walking on a very weird route.
Sure enough, the Super Plasma Torrent stopped its pursuit.
It extended ten thousand 'snake heads' that were made of interconnected lightning again, but each head was like a viper with poor eyesight. They could only sense the prey by the temperature. Once the prey found a way to lower its own temperature to the same level as the environment around, they could only turn a blind eye to it.
The super torrent of plasma flowed past Li Yao slowly from a place less than ten kilometers away.
Li Yao could even see that at the core where electric arcs were dancing, the lightning constituted countless regular geometrical patterns that were splendid and perished instantly.
If Li Yao had released the control of all his pores at this moment, his sweat would've probably flowed out of the spiritual residence of the Colossus.
After half a minute of torment, Li Yao truly tasted the feeling of 'a day felt like a year'.
It was not until a long time after the super torrent of plasma passed, and the distribution and speed of the meteoroids around were calculated by him again that he finally took a deep breath …
The Colossus' Arsonist 'was activated again!
BOOM!
Flames of light surged out of the Arsonist's bottom and condensed into a giant foot, which kicked the Arsonist's bottom brutally. Li Yao ran as fast as he could again with all his strength!
From absolute stillness to more than five times the speed of sound, it only took Li Yao 0.5 seconds. In the entire Pangu universe, even the Yuanying and the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators who were best at speed couldn't be faster than him.
Although the super torrent of plasma sensed his existence keenly, the two parties were hundreds of kilometers away from each other. Also, the super torrent of plasma had to change its direction by brute force, which naturally consumed more energy.
When it chased after him aggressively again, Li Yao turned off all the rune arrays on the Colossus in the same way and concealed his spiritual energy, turning himself into a common, unattractive meteoroid.
It was a very delicate tactic, as well as a test of patience and willpower.
Li Yao could not conceal his spiritual energy for a long time. In such a case, the super torrent of plasma would certainly abandon the target and look for the starships of the exploration fleet whose temperature had not dropped to zero.
But he could not release his spiritual energy for a long time, either. In such a case, his boat that was riddled with holes would be destroyed in the ocean of lightning at any moment.
That was why Li Yao told Ding Ling Dong that it was a mission that only he could carry out.
It was because nobody in the entire Pangu universe had such a thorough understanding of the Colossus and such precise control of spiritual energy as he did.
"Come on. I'm releasing my spiritual energy again. Have you sensed it? Come and chase me!
"Right now, I've concealed all my spiritual energy again. Even the Colossus has been turned into the state of garbage. What can you possibly do to me, blockhead?
"Come on. I'm jumping out again. I'm retreating again. Come and beat me. Savage me brutally. Idiot. I'm jumping out again. I'm retreating again!"
Li Yao jumped up and down among the meteoroids, waving his hands and legs to attract the super torrent of plasma's attention so that the enemy would not have the time to perceive the situation of the exploration fleet.
This was a long and drawn-out tug-of-war.
In only a few seconds, the spiritual energy had been boosted from the most restrained state to the furiously burning state, which brought indescribable pain and damage to both the human body and the Colossus.
It was like heating a piece of metal from a hundred degrees below zero to three thousand degrees within a second, only to drop it to zero again when it almost reached the melting point. The process was repeated dozens of times.
Although it was not obvious on the surface, the metal elements of the Colossus, the spiritual energy fuel, and every cell on Li Yao's body were full of tiny cracks.
Li Yao felt that he had turned into a porcelain vase that would be completely shattered if it was hit by one more meteoroid.
But the super torrent of plasma was not comfortable, either.
"Reduced in size. Its size seems to be reduced. Its brightness is slightly lower, too. Its central temperature and central temperature are both lower!"
Li Yao's eyes almost pierced through the light beam of "Arsonist". No, it was not an illusion. The probe magical equipment of "Arsonist" had recorded the parameters of the Colossus every minute and every second clearly. Its size, brightness, and central temperature were indeed much lower than before.
Right now, it was only eight hundred kilometers in diameter. Its main color had turned from bright purple into deep blue. A lot of lightning had been exhausted and perished during the bombardment of the meteoroids. The hideous heads of the snakes had all been cut apart by Li Yao's will!
Every second, its energy was draining and dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its magnetic field could no longer restrain its body. It was like a cancer cell that had gone out of control, releasing rings of blurry halos that spread in all directions.
It was tired, hungry, hungry, and exhausted. It was in a dilemma and was on the verge of death.
At this moment, forty-five minutes had passed since the hunting and escape of the two parties began.
Li Yao knew that it was the best that the exploration fleet could persist. After the bombardment of the meteoroids for such a long time, all the starships were on the verge of collapse and could not persist for one second. They had to activate the shaking spiritual shields and force fields and output the most powerful impetus to break out of the stone belt.
Then, it was the moment of the final battle.
