Li Yao took a deep breath and licked the blood flowing out of his throat.
The fierce battles had pushed the vitality of his every cell to the limits. He felt that his internal organs were burning, and his stomach was rumbling with hunger.
The feeling made the blood that he swallowed back into his throat more delicious than ever. His every nerve was stimulated and blossomed like fireworks.
Li Yao controlled Arsonist to squat.
The deep black shell turned orange because of the high-speed friction between the flames of spiritual energy and the air. All the power jets on the back were expanded to the point of being torn apart, as if countless bright eyes were opening at the same time. The ground below his feet was cracking. The cracks that looked like a spider web even spread to hundreds of meters away!
"You're not thinking of escaping through the air, are you? Absolutely not. There is no shelter in midair. You will be shot down!"
Sensing Li Yao's determination keenly, Lu Qingchen shrieked.
But there was no time.
When more than ten ferocious beasts lunged at Li Yao at the same time, the dozens of power units around the Arsonist spurted out torrents like a volcanic eruption at the same time. The blast was so powerful that the ground within a hundred square meters was blown apart, like a messy crater after a meteor shower.
Arsonist, on the other hand, leaped high and soared into the sky with the counterforce!
The deafening sonic boom shattered the tempered glass windows of all the skyscrapers in the dozens of square kilometers nearby. It even stimulated the brains of a lot of ferocious beasts, making them all scream.
Many ferocious beasts reacted very quickly and followed the footsteps of the Arsonist. They jumped high and even opened their membranes and wings from their arms, trying to fly above the Arsonist.
But they did not know that everything had been within Li Yao's calculations.
During the seemingly panicked escape just now, Li Yao had scanned the physiological structure and attack pattern of every ferocious beast clearly. He had even simulated which ferocious beasts would appear in midair, at what speed, and where they would appear in midair a hundred times in his head. Finally, he came up with a risky plan that seemed crazy but had at least a fifty percent chance of success.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Arsonist suddenly moved horizontally and seemed to abruptly plummet.
As it happened, it appeared right above the few ferocious beasts. The iron feet that were entangled in spiritual energy and electric arcs slammed down heavily, blowing the few ferocious beasts into pieces like red fireworks in the sky. The Arsonist, on the other hand, gained a new acceleration and shot higher into the sky again.
At this moment, several ferocious beasts were still trying their best to flap their membranes and wings and bite Li Yao's back.
"Xiu! Whoosh! Xiu! "
The iron tentacles on the Arsonist's head that were waving crazily like vipers suddenly darted out and pierced through a few ferocious beasts before it dragged them to its side.
At this time, the Arsonist had already flown two to three hundred meters in the air.
It was the height where it was the easiest to be discovered by the ground firing point.
As far as the eye could see, tremendous fireballs, electric arcs, and colorful mist suddenly popped up from the broken walls and attacked Li Yao in midair like a reverse storm.
The few ferocious beasts that had been captured by the Arsonist, on the other hand, were the best meat shields under Li Yao's feet. Before they even had the chance to scream, they were riddled with holes by the fireballs, electric arcs, and acid. Then, they were completely blown into charcoal and smashed into smithereens.
In the blink of an eye, with the blockage of the few "meat shields", not only did Li Yao gain a precious distance to escape, but he also saw through the dense distribution of firing points between the ground and the skyscrapers and the gaps that were as thin as gossamer in the seemingly impenetrable net of fire. The enormous Colossus, under his perfect operation, was as agile as a flying sword made of lightning, leaving a series of dazzling shadows behind. It was about to dash out of the last few gaps of the dense fire net.
It was at this moment that Li Yao ran into the "wall".
There was nothing in midair, and above Li Yao's head was a mist that could not be penetrated by any eyes, mystic rays, visible light, or invisible light. But before he even broke into the mist, he already had the feeling that he was running into an ocean.
Pressure. Billions of tons of force were squeezing him from all directions, blowing up his every cell. It was exactly the feeling that he had when he came to the City of Silver through the black gap at the beginning!
All kinds of blood-freezing alarms, metal breaking, and magical equipment exploding were also echoing from the Colossus. On the light beam that had been twisted to the maximum, all the performance parameters were plummeting crazily as if they were falling off a cliff.
Li Yao, Lu Qingchen, and the Arsonist were bounced back from the sky brutally.
Then, they were enshrouded by hundreds of lines of fire, acid, and electric arcs.
Even the Arsonist, one of the best super Colossi in the Pangu universe, was riddled with holes and on the brink of destruction. All the strengthened plate armor on its body had almost exploded.
Li Yao, on the other hand, felt that he had been minced and soaked in magma after being minced into thousands of pieces.
He could not help but feel that his head was too heavy for his feet. He fell from midair, and the whole world seemed to have been turned upside down because of it.
At this moment, he saw the tower.
It was the most splendid, splendid, solemn, magnificent, sacred, and primitive tower that could not be described with any words in the human world.
The tower rose from the ground like a silver-white tree. Its high, intertwined roots alone were like undulating mountains, occupying more than a dozen blocks. There were even hundreds of skyscrapers and oddly shaped buildings that were built based on it. They were connected to each other in countless ways, like soldiers firmly guarding it.
The tower was translucent and emitting flawless silver brilliance. Li Yao activated his eyesight to the maximum, but he did not notice a window or a gap on the surface of the tower.
It was almost as if the tower had been molded with the starlight of the entire universe.
Around the tower, about three hundred meters away from the ground, were three gargantuan silver balls, which were facilities that looked like floating fortresses. However, even the most magnificent fortresses were eclipsed by the tower.
The skyscrapers in the City of Silver, in order to fit the bodies of the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan, were much taller than the buildings of human beings. They could easily reach thousands of meters high.
However, in front of the tower, the skyscrapers that were unreachable a moment ago were as short and insignificant as the weeds below the tree.
The tower grew all the way up and even broke through the mist that blocked the sky, poking an enormous swirl that was slowly rotating in the mist. Looking through the swirl, Li Yao saw … the universe.
At first, Li Yao thought that he was hallucinating.
But no matter how deeply he took a breath and used his spirit energy to soothe his nerves, he saw a brilliant universe that was blooming with endless starlight. It was floating, spinning, and rippling in the clouds above the tower.
It was as if the tower was some kind of … bridge, some kind of world-crossing bridge from the Pangu Universe to an even more brilliant multiverse!
"The Tower of Babel!"
Lu Qingchen released extremely excited ripples of Divine Soul.
"What did you say?"
Li Yao snapped.
"The Tower of Babel is the name of the hub of the City of Silver, which is where the other half of Fuxi is located," Lu Qingchen said quickly.
"However, although the City of Silver was created by the Pangu civilization, the Tower of Babel was not built by them. It has a history of at least hundreds of millions of years. It is very likely that it was created by the creator of the black wall. All the secrets about the primordial era are stored at the top of the Tower of Babel!"
"Is that so?"
Li Yao's mind was deeply attracted by the Tower of Babel. He was in a subtle trance, as if he had seen a similar facility a long, long time ago, and even …
Furthermore, his soul had been launched from 'Earth' to the 'Pangu universe' at the edge of the multiverse through similar facilities!
"How is it possible?"
Li Yao mumbled to himself. He felt like a moth that was about to break out of its cocoon and see the final light.
However, at this moment, there was still an almost insurmountable obstacle between him and the final answer.
The Beast Tide. An overwhelming tide of ferocious beasts surged in from all directions of the City of Silver, surrounding the Skysplit Tower and launching the most ferocious attacks.
There were so many ferocious beasts that there was not the slightest gap between the ground and the skyscrapers. Even the feeblest silver-white had been swallowed. Li Yao thought that they were a black carpet of fungi or an infinite swarm of ants at first.
However, if he observed more carefully, he would discover that they were the main force of the ferocious beasts. There were more than ten behemoths like the Tyrannosaurus that were more than a hundred meters tall in the army that besieged the Tower of Babel. There were also countless ferocious beasts of all shapes and sizes.
It was a soul-stirring epic battle. Although it was only a battle on the ground in the atmosphere, it was as intimidating as the collision of light spears of thousands of starships in the vacuum of space. With the surging soundwaves, the blood-boiling and awe-inspiring effect was a hundred times more intense.
The surface of the Tower of Babel was as smooth as jade and flawless. There was not the slightest gap. Naturally, there were no firing points, hangars, Crystal Suit, Colossi, or other facilities like that.
However, the architects of the Pangu civilization surrounded the lower half of the tower and built fortresses and heavy turrets that were as complicated as a maze. It was like a hundred thousand volcanoes erupting at the same time. The destructive magma could devour the lives of hundreds of ferocious beasts every second.
Even though he was dozens of kilometers away, Li Yao seemed to be able to hear the crazy and desperate roars of the guards in the fortresses.
Just as Li Yao had said, they were fighting an unwinnable war.
Their crazy firepower could temporarily resist the tide of ferocious beasts, but they could not resist the invasion of the virus.
As more and more guards in the fortresses were infected with the virus and turned into ferocious beasts, the tiny fortresses seemed to be unable to accommodate their deformed and expanded bodies. Bloody tentacles extended out of the shooting holes, announcing that a firing point had failed.
The tide of ferocious beasts advanced slowly but firmly.
