"Ding Ling Dong and Li Linghai are accelerating."
Li Yao smiled and mumbled to himself, "Excellent. I knew that you could do it. However dense and violent the meteoroids are, it is impossible for them to destroy your starship. Now, let's go. Full speed. The further we go, the better.
"As for this wretched animal, this unparalleled 'Electric Devil', I will certainly stall it for you. Rest assured!"
The super plasma torrent was hesitating.
It keenly sensed the flames and the surging spiritual shields of the dozens of starships far away, too. They were the most "delicious" prey.
However, Li Yao had lured it to the surface of the stone belt near "Gu Shisan", which was too far away from the exploration fleet. It was not sure whether or not it could catch up with the exploration fleet after a long journey. It also did not know how much energy it would consume to change the hunting plan and whether or not the exploration fleet could make up for the loss.
Li Yao detonated all the remaining cannonballs at this moment.
Also, he retrieved almost all the crystals he had stored in his Cosmos Ring and threw them into the most brilliant fireworks, adding a hundred thousand colorful ripples to the blossoming fireworks.
"Is that all you've got?"
The serial explosions of hundreds of bombs and tons of crystals raised surging tides below the feet of the Colossus "Arsonist". The tides of destruction lifted "Arsonist" high into the sky like a deity rising from the ground.
Li Yao raised his arms and controlled "Arsonist" to shoot out auras hundreds of kilometers long, provoking the powerful alien species with his own life. "Don't look around. Our battle is not over yet. Today or forever, you only have one enemy, which is me — Vulture Li Yao!"
The auras of "Arsonist" were like Li Yao's middle finger that was about to be stabbed into the nostrils of the super plasma torrent — if it had nostrils.
The super plasma torrent was deeply infuriated.
Even if it was a life in a certain form, it was far from having wisdom or animal instincts. It was more like an ignorant ancient fungus that was controlled by instructions that were more primitive than animal instincts.
With its "wisdom", it was still unable to understand what a trap was. It also did not expect that such a marvelous "carbon-based life" could exist in the world and such a weirdo as "Li Yao" could be found among the carbon-based life.
It immediately abandoned the target far away and accelerated to attack Li Yao. The thousands of lightning bolts made it look like a glittering octopus or a jellyfish that had been magnified a hundred thousand times.
Li Yao turned around and ran.
Every cell on his body and every rune array on the Colossus had been exploited to the point of collapse. Every meteorite the size of a fist and even the dust the size of a grain of sand had been exploited. he ran on a route that was even weirder than lightning...
One minute. Five minutes. Ten minutes.
He persisted. Even if his flesh and blood were ground, his cells were burnt up, his Colossus was falling apart, and his every unit was blown into garbage, he still had to persist to the end. One more second of persistence meant one more portion of the energy of the super plasma torrent, which would allow Ding Ling Dong and Li Linghai to escape to a safe distance and a higher chance of entering the mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor to capture Lu Qingchen.
"Hehe. Haha. Hu, hu, hu, hu. Nobody can catch me. No gods can catch me. No force can catch me!"
When the coolant was used up, even Little Black was squeaking. Thick, crisscrossing veins were protruding on Li Yao's face. Every vein was glittering and emitting a terrifying red glow, as if the blood inside had been replaced with magma. The magma that had gathered could not help but break through the seal on his skull and erupt like a volcano on his head.
Li Yao had hallucinations in front of his eyes. In his trance, he forgot where he was and that he was in the middle of a surging stone belt. He thought that he was on an endless racetrack that was full of thorns and flames, racing against lightning, thunder, gods, Lu Qingchen, the Pangu, the maker of the black wall, the Flood Tide, his own shadow, and his own creator.
He had to run even if his blood was evaporating. He had to run even if his muscles were torn apart. He had to run even if his bones were ground into powder. He had to run even if his cells were all withered. He had to run even if he was the only one left. He had to run even if the sky and the earth had turned black and white. He had to run even if there was no end to the road ahead of him.
He had to run even faster! It was because the journey of life was a never-ending and exhilarating run!
Shrieks and screams echoed next to his ears. Even the super Colossus "Arsonist" could not bear Li Yao's unstoppable will and was about to be paralyzed.
Li Yao still showed no intention of slowing down at all. He was still changing his direction between the meteoroids almost twenty times per second while he sprinted at the enemy with his back facing him. Also, other than spurting out intense white smoke, he was also laughing crazily, as if his victory was already in his hands.
The super plasma torrent was already on the verge of collapsing.
Li Yao had no time to calculate the precise time, but the life-and-death race with the stone belt as the racetrack had lasted at least two hours. During such a long time, not only did the super plasma torrent have to control its magnetic field to change its direction in a regular pattern, it also shattered too many meteoroids. Its "vitality" was fading at a visible speed.
Right now, it was no longer as dazzling, enormous, and active as at the beginning. It was as clumsy as a beached whale and as haggard as an old wolf that staggered forward hungrily in the cold wind.
It changed from bright purple to dark purple, and then from dark purple to dark blue. Occasionally, it was mixed with strands of orange ripples. In the end, all the colors faded away, and it became a weak grayish-white color.
Its diameter had also been reduced from a thousand kilometers at the beginning to dozens of kilometers right now. It was almost enough to be cut into halves by Li Yao. Of course, even if it had been reduced to several kilometers and was about to perish on its own, Li Yao would not have been able to raise his little finger to cut it.
It was the same. In the beginning of the chase, it had released electric arcs extravagantly. As long as it was possible, it would unleash thousands of electric arcs to form an overwhelming net to capture Li Yao. However, at this moment, even at a distance that was within reach, it was barely able to launch even one feeble electric arc.
The pursuer and the fugitive could no longer tell who was the hunter and who was the prey. Perhaps they had forgotten the significance of chasing and hunting and were only running and running habitually.
Suddenly, the moment before the super plasma torrent was completely annihilated —
Hum!
The main power unit on the left side of the crystal reactor of Arsonist uttered a low fulmination and spurted out pungent black smoke, which condensed into a series of black balloons in the vacuum.
Li Yao's muscles and bones were not even enough to support the iron body of the Colossus. They were crushed by him!
Li Yao's head was in a mess, and his head was almost blank. He had no time to foresee and deal with the paralysis of the left power source at all. Arsonist staggered and could not control the direction anymore. The result of the unilateral outputting of power was that it was spinning quickly in the torrent of meteoroids and was hit by hundreds of meteoroids instantly. In the next moment, it was pierced through by the dying super plasma torrent.
Or rather, the two "lives" who were both exhausted and craving to survive hugged each other tightly. Zi! Zi! Zi!
Zi! Zi! Zi!
Zi! Zi! Zi! Every nerve of Li Yao was pierced through by the super electric currents and the indescribable pain. He was so "translucent" that his every bone, every vein, and every internal organ were illuminated by the electric currents clearly.
What was even weirder than the super electric arcs was the information. Tremendous information flooded into his body and his brain along the electric arcs like a ferocious beast. It was even trying to crawl into his brain cells and etch it on his soul.
The feeling was different from possession.
Li Yao did not know if he was crazy, but he knew very well that the enemy did not intend to possess him at all. It was merely "recording". It was using Li Yao's brain and body of flesh and blood as tools to record certain information, just like human beings used turtle shells, stone slabs, and bamboo slips as carriers and carved information on them with sharp knives.
It did make sense. If those "lightning lives" regarded themselves as the only and natural life form in the universe, Li Yao's fleshly body, a carbon-based life, was probably nothing more than a lifeless "stone slab" in their eyes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Inside Li Yao's head, countless thunderbolts exploded at the same time, like the primeval human beings chiseling stone slabs with stone hammers and stone spears, leaving the marks of their civilization.
He "saw" the origin of the super plasma torrents, a magnificent and soul-stirring epic, and an endless journey of struggling to survive in the darkness like the civilization of mankind.
His speculation at the beginning was correct. The super plasma torrents, including the one that tried to attack "Iron Fist" earlier, were indeed very special life forms that were native to the atmosphere of the ancient giant.
The atmosphere of the ancient giant boasted a gravity thousands of times higher than that of the capital planet. It was brimming with liquid hydrogen, methane, and other fatal elements. The superstorms that swept all year round even permanently changed the appearance of the surface of the planet, turning the surface of the planet into parallel, enormous ribbons. In the places where the wind gathered, enormous cyclones more than ten thousand kilometers in diameter were even formed. Every cyclone could last for hundreds of years!
In the extremely harsh environment, there was no carbon-based life. Even the ancient fungi that could survive in the craters of undersea volcanoes could be born and survive here.
However, life always found the most suitable form and broke out of the soil stubbornly.
