Pondering for a moment, Li Yao decided to detour from the edge of the battle area.
After all, he did not carry much ammunition and fuel with him. He did not want the Arsonist to run out of ammunition like the Savior did.
Faced with the infinite tides of ferocious beasts, the strength of an individual was insignificant after all. It was not embarrassing that he could not defeat the ultimate experts of the primeval era.
After planning a route quickly in the complicated maze map, Li Yao adjusted the Arsonist to the stealth mode. As the air rippled, the body of the Colossus that was almost thirty meters tall suddenly turned transparent. The twisted force field reflected the light and energy waves around perfectly, as if the Colossus had vanished into thin air.
However, Lu Qingchen told Li Yao that it was not enough to fool the keen eyes of the ferocious beasts.
Lu Qingchen's Colossus, the Savior, boasted very advanced stealth techniques, too. However, when faced with the invisible scanning and the full-coverage attacks of some of the ferocious beasts, it was still exposed and was often chased and beaten up.
Li Yao had considered whether or not he could take off the Colossus and keep it so that he would be less of a target on the battlefield in the Crystal Suit.
However, it was also very dangerous. The area-of-effect attacks of most of the automatic battle puppets and the acid storms of the ferocious beasts were not something that the Crystal Suit could bear. In the stormy battlefield, the Crystal Suit was no different from paper.
Ever since he advanced into the Divinity Branching Stage, Li Yao had never been so focused on maneuvering the Colossus.
The Colossus, which was almost thirty meters tall and even heavier than a small assault warship, was as light as a feather under his smooth, almost perfect control. The flames spurted out of the power nozzles were like transparent streams. They did not raise the slightest dust even when they passed by the dilapidated walls.
Such an extreme operation consumed a lot of Li Yao's spiritual energy.
In addition, the magnetic field interference here was extremely serious. Li Yao's telepathic thoughts could not reach more than a hundred meters before it plunged into the chaotic whirlpool and was torn to pieces.
It was as if someone was using a spoon to dig out his brain, spoon by spoon. The pain was indescribable. Even with Li Yao's powerful cultivation, after a few attempts, he obediently withdrew all his "thoughts" and didn't dare to rashly hit a wall again.
His own senses could not be released to a hundred meters away, and the probe magical equipment of the Colossus was seriously jammed. As a result, Li Yao became a blind man whose eyes were wide open. The battlefield a hundred meters away seemed to be covered in an impenetrable mist. He could neither see nor hear anything.
After passing through three blocks without any mishaps, his good luck finally ran out.
When the hundred-meter-tall beast blocked his path, it was as if a huge mountain had fallen from the sky.
The tyrannosaurus rex was already enormous in size. The ferocious beast seemed to be a combination of the flesh, claws, and teeth of a dozen tyrannosaurus rexes.
It was at least one hundred and twenty to thirty meters tall. Its shell, which was even sturdier than composite armor, was full of ugly bulges. Electric arcs were flashing between every wrinkle on its body, as if it were covered in a layer of blue, beautiful stripes. Its two thick and heavy monstrous tails were swinging unscrupulously in different directions between the skyscrapers. Every time it swung its tail, a skyscraper would be cut in half and collapse in a deafening rumble.
Its weight was so great that even the ground of the City of Silver couldn't support it. With every step it took, it would sink deep into the ground, shattering the drainage pipes, psionic energy transmission pipes, and underground facilities that were set up under the streets, turning them into ruins.
To be fair, the gargantuan super ferocious beast did not think much of the stealthy "Arsonist" at all.
It was just that it had just broken the tail of a skyscraper, and it happened to hit the Arsonist precisely.
Li Yao felt as if he had been hit by the main cannons of ten thousand starships.
Even with the protection of the nine-layer composite armor of the Arsonist, Little Black's liquid buffer, and the mustard-seed combat suit, the impact that was enough to break his bones and turn his internal organs into pus and blood still seeped in without missing a single drop.
The Arsonist was sent flying seven hundred meters away, deeply embedded into the silver-white wall of a skyscraper, turning into the Chinese character "大".
Just condensing a spiritual shield to offset more than 90% of the damage consumed 5% of the Arsonist's spiritual energy reserve. An ear-piercing buzzing sound echoed inside the Spiritual Residence, and all the performance parameters were fluctuating as if they were on a roller coaster.
The behemoth also sensed the existence of the Arsonist. It bent down and stared at Li Yao with a murderous look in its eyes.
Its appearance was as ferocious and ugly as dozens of tyrannosaurus rexes combined. At the very least, an ordinary tyrannosaurus rex's head wouldn't have so many crisscrossing wrinkles that looked like scars, and there wouldn't be hundreds of green, purple, and yellow eyes growing out of the wrinkles.
"Pu —"
The stench that it spurted out of its mouth was so horrible that even the Colossus that had been tightly sealed could not resist it. Li Yao was almost passed out because of the stench. He even vaguely envied Lu Qingchen. At the very least, Lu Qingchen did not have a body of flesh and blood and did not have to suffer such torment.
"Run!"
Lu Qingchen shrieked, "It was a ferocious beast of such a level that destroyed three of my Colossi instantly. I only managed to escape after consuming half of the fuel and ammunitions of the 'Savior' on it. We are definitely no match for it. Run!"
For the first time, Li Yao agreed with Lu Qingchen's opinion.
It was a pity that he had been targeted by a ferocious beast, and it was not so easy to run away at all.
When the Arsonist quickly gathered its spiritual energy and transmitted it into the power unit, turning it into powerful flames, the electric arcs around the ferocious beast suddenly became brighter and more aggressive. The deep purple stripes all turned bright purple and gathered on its head. Then, the bloody mouth that was more than ten meters in diameter opened to the maximum, and a torrent of plasma darted at Li Yao!
"…"
For a moment, Li Yao felt that the hair on his heart was about to explode. He gathered all his fuel, soul, and vitality out of reflex and opened an indestructible spiritual shield in front of him. Even so, he was still uneasy, not knowing whether or not he could resist one tenth of the ferocious beast's attack.
But out of his expectation, the destructive torrent of plasma brushed past the head of the Arsonist and pierced through the building that it was in, before it exploded brutally hundreds of meters behind Li Yao.
The powerful blast was like an overwhelming tide. The entire building collapsed abruptly, and the Arsonist was buried deep in the debris and smoke.
When Li Yao finally dug himself out, he happened to see a behemoth stepping over the Arsonist's head, like an adult stepping over a baby in swaddling clothes.
"What's this?"
Li Yao could not believe his eyes at all.
If he had to describe it, it was an enormous spiritual puppet more than a hundred meters tall, like the "Great Iron City" that A Boxing Champion had once used.
However, it was more than twice as wide as "Great Iron City". It was almost like a floating fortress that had been installed with almost twenty freely revolving arms and almost ten pairs of lower limbs that were full of tracks and anti-gravity units.
It was more like the destroyer of the city than the patron saint of the city. The powerful air currents and the deafening noises that it spurted out when it moved were enough to destroy the City of Silver.
The enormous spiritual puppet stepped over the Arsonist and hugged the gargantuan ferocious beast hard. Surging electric arcs were popping up on the surface of all the artificial arms around it. Bound by the helical magnetic field, they turned into drills of mystic rays that crawled into the body of the ferocious beast brutally.
Blood and flesh splashed everywhere. A crimson storm was raging in midair. In pain, the ferocious beast opened its bloody mouth and unleashed electric arcs that were even larger than the head of the Arsonist, bombarding the enormous spiritual puppet crazily.
The melee of the two behemoths was almost like the barrage of the main guns of two starships. Before anything happened to themselves, the dilapidated walls around them had been completely crushed into ruins. Even the Arsonist was almost stomped under their feet and turned into a thin layer of iron.
"How did the Pangu civilization produce … such brutal and violent things?"
Li Yao was a very brilliant refiner after all. After the momentary shock, he observed the enormous spiritual puppet in a very professional way. While he was observing, he suddenly had many questions. "We have never seen such primitive and crude things in the Kunlun relic or the Ancient Sages Sector. They don't seem to be the style of the Pangu civilization!"
"Exactly," Lu Qingchen said.
"This is indeed not a creation of the Pangu civilization but an ultimate weapon of the earlier generation before the Pangu civilization appeared. It's a pity that the Pangu civilization does not have 100% control over it. Should it go on a rampage, the entire block will be blown up. Let's get out of here as soon as possible!"
"What?"
Li Yao was dazed. "The previous generation of the Pangu civilization?"
"Of course. You don't think that the history of civilizations in the entire universe of the Pangu civilization from billions of years ago to the Pangu civilization from hundreds of thousands of years ago is a blank, or that there are only some germs and pests, do you?"
Lu Qingchen said quickly, "Although you have targeted me time and time again and are highly distrustful and even hostile toward me, I have decided to return the favor and tell you more precious information for free. Not only do the primeval relics contain the mysteries of the 'Black Wall Makers', but they also contain the secret treasures of at least a hundred civilizations in the past billions of years. It seems that more than a hundred civilizations were born in the Pangu universe in the past billions of years and developed to a rather advanced and brilliant level. They all discovered the primeval relics and intended to explore the place, unravel the mysteries of the 'Black Wall Makers', and inherit their legacies.
