Silver ripples were also spreading out of the surface of the tower. An invisible energy field was condensing in midair. It was like the calm before a storm. The air was filled with the smell of magma, electric arcs, and destruction.
Li Yao vaguely had a premonition.
When the black spots made of the tide of ferocious beasts tainted the entire tower, the tower would unleash the destructive force that would destroy the tide of ferocious beasts, the guardians, the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum, and even the Pangu universe outside. Everything.
Li Yao did not know why he had such a premonition, either. He could only fly to the tower hard, hoping to stop the tide of ferocious beasts before they swallowed everything.
He did not know what he could stop, either. Even if he could only talk to the guards in the tower, it would be fine.
He had to communicate with the Pangu or the Nuwa Clan who were rational and calm enough to find the answer and solve the ultimate problem of the Pangu universe together!
However, before he flew hundreds of meters away, the intense barrage had blown up the power units and the anti-gravity units of the Arsonist. The acid that could corrode diamonds stained the wings that he condensed with spiritual energy. The Arsonist fell from the sky like a bird whose wings had been broken, losing control.
Next to Li Yao's ears, Little Black shrieked.
In front of Li Yao's eyes, countless complicated primeval runes popped up on the operation menu, only to disperse in the next moment. The glittering symbols that represented the units dimmed. He lost control of every power rune array and could only manage to adjust the posture of the Colossus with his remote manipulation techniques, but he could not dodge the fierce barrage on the ground with large-scale maneuvers. Therefore, the Colossus was heavily wounded. It was truly like a broken meteorite that slant across the sky, piercing through five skyscrapers in a row and smashing into the dilapidated walls brutally.
BOOM!
For a moment, Li Yao felt that every bone in his body and every steel joint of the Arsonist had shattered.
It was as if he had been sealed in an impenetrable iron coffin, unable to see or hear anything. After a long time, his senses gradually returned to his body. The backup energy of Arsonist was activated, and the operation interface was rebooted. The units that were still intact were quickly connected to each other, forming a temporary drive mode that could barely function.
"Kacha kacha, kacha kacha!"
Li Yao heard an ear-piercing sound of tearing metal.
The stench of the Ferocious Beast rushed in through the crack in front of the cockpit.
It was a ferocious beast that looked like a hyena that had discovered the Arsonist. It was desperately biting at the only piece of breastplate left on the Arsonist, attempting to extend its barbed tongue in and lick Li Yao's flesh.
Li Yao summoned himself and picked up a chainsword.
While the animal really tore apart the breastplate of the Arsonist and was completely exposed to the air, Li Yao bellowed and lunged forward. First, he cut off the ferocious beast's tongue as fast as lightning. Then, he opened his hands, and the light balls glittered nonstop. Spiritual energy flooded into the beast's throat crazily like a flood, blowing up the animal's brain stem directly. It collapsed to the ground before it even had the chance to cry.
Li Yao finally sat down and breathed heavily, trying to restore the combat ability of the Arsonist.
The breastplate was gone, and the spiritual residence was completely open. As a result, the protection of the Colossus for the user had hit rock bottom.
But as a result, Li Yao could see everything in front of him clearly without the need for any scanning or probe magical equipment.
The good news was that he controlled the direction when he was falling and dived all the way to the Tower of Babel. He was not far away from the super building of the primeval era.
Despite the blockage of the skyscrapers, the gargantuan object still occupied half of the sky. It was like a giant silver tree that supported the sky and the earth, leading to the palaces of the gods beyond the clouds.
The bad news was that glittering space ripples that were as thin as gossamer appeared between him and the Tower of Babel again. They were fatal traps that could cut iron as if it were mud and did not accept any defense.
Li Yao could imagine that, should the Arsonist enter recklessly with the Arsonist, it would certainly be split into pieces like the ferocious beasts just now or compressed into the crystal of metal and flesh the size of a fist.
It would be the most miserable death, even more gory than jumping into a star during a space jump.
Besides, even if he could cross the highly dangerous discontinuous area of space, how was he going to drag the shaking Colossus past the main force of the army of ferocious beasts?
Li Yao opened the map that Lu Qingchen drew again.
Only to discover that the area they were in was already beyond the range of Lu Qingchen's activities a few days ago. After the reckless journey just now, they had arrived at an unknown area.
"We're lost."
Lu Qingchen smiled bitterly. "A few days ago, I never tried to approach the Tower of Babel from the sky like you did. So, I don't know where we are exactly, nor do I know how to get to the Tower of Babel. Let me remind you. The closer we are to the Tower of Babel, the more serious the space folds and disorder will be. It's like a defense mechanism of the Tower of Babel itself. You must not charge at it directly!"
Li Yao was silent. He released his telepathic thoughts and searched the surroundings.
The skyscrapers around, however, were like silver mirrors that reflected and refracted his telepathic thoughts, forming a complicated maze.
Traps, ferocious beasts, and infinite forks and spirals were everywhere. The complexity of the space there was far beyond Li Yao's imagination.
The roars of the ferocious beasts were getting closer and closer. Li Yao could already observe with his naked eyes that a few skyscrapers were shivering in fear under the quakes of the ferocious beasts.
But he still failed to find a way out. He could not help but sweat in anxiety.
Right then, Little Black, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly had a reaction.
It had been a cluster of gel or liquid metal that looked like black jelly around Li Yao.
But this time, a tiny … 'arrow' suddenly protruded out of its soft, fleshy body and pointed to the front left.
"This is —"
Li Yao was dumbfounded. He was dazed for a long time before he asked, his voice shivering, "Little Black, you're not showing us the way, are you?"
Little Black emitted gentle ripples, as if it were nodding at Li Yao nonstop.
"What's this?"
Lu Qingchen asked in surprise. "Liquid alloys from the Star Ocean Imperium? Does it boast intelligence? Do you believe that it can show us the way? "
Li Yao did not know how many secrets were hidden inside Little Black, either, or whether or not it could really clear the clouds in the chaotic space.
But it was indeed from the Supreme Emperor's mausoleum and even deeply related to the primeval relics. If anybody could give Li Yao directions right now, it would be none other than Little Black.
After all, neither he nor Lu Qingchen knew the way. Therefore, they might as well try their luck!
"Little Black, do you really know the way to the 'Supreme Tower'?"
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao asked, "Or rather, did you stay in the 'Supreme Tower' a long, long time ago? Did you come out of the 'Supreme Tower'? "
Little Black wriggled slowly.
It seemed to be thinking, recalling, and retrieving the memory data from a long time ago.
Then, it pushed Li Yao's head softly and made a gesture that seemed to be 'nodding'.
"Then, let's go!"
Li Yao gritted his teeth. Flames of battle spread out, and the heavily wounded Arsonist stood up again and charged toward the direction that Little Black pointed out.
The closer they were to the 'Supreme Tower', the more intense the battle became. Roaming ferocious beasts and battle puppets could be seen everywhere. Skyscrapers were even collapsing at any moment, and billions of tons of metals and stones were falling from the sky.
After only ten minutes of travel, Li Yao had broken four super-heavy chainswords and three high-frequency vibration sabers that were specially designed for the Colossi. Dozens of shocking wounds had been added to Arsonist. The nearest penetrating wound was only one palm away from Li Yao. If there had been any mistake, the thick collision horn would have pierced a hole in Li Yao's chest. The spiritual shield and the interference force field had long been gone. Their fuel and ammunition reserves had dropped from forty percent to twenty percent, too, reaching the perilous threshold.
However, their retreat had been blocked by the tide of ferocious beasts. Li Yao had no choice but to press forward bravely.
Huala!
Under the guidance of Little Black, the 'Arsonist' crashed through another skyscraper. The 'Tower of Babel' seemed to be right in front of him. Li Yao could already see the tip of the tower that pierced the sky and the stars and the universe around it.
However —
When Arsonist leaped out of the human-shaped hole, he happened to step into the nest or the rendezvous point of the ferocious beasts. Hundreds of enormous reptiles that seemed to have mutated due to radiation all turned around and looked at him. Corrosive liquids were dripping from their bloody mouths and zigzagging to his feet.
Li Yao took a deep breath and even forgot to swallow his saliva.
"I knew that nothing good would come of teaming up with you. I would definitely be struck by lightning!"
Lu Qingchen shrieked, "What kind of liquid alloy ancillary system is this? What did you bring with you … Ahhhhhhh!"
While he was complaining, the hammer that stored his precious soul had already been thrown out by Li Yao brutally, smashing the head of the first ferocious beast into smithereens. Of course, Lu Qingchen's soul was almost blown apart, too.
"We will definitely reach the 'Supreme Tower'."
Li Yao roared. He twisted his hips, stepped forward, and charged forward. He waved the hammer in his right hand like a storm of destruction, and the chainsword in his left hand cut through the air as if it were cutting space. He opened a bloody path among the hundred ferocious beasts. "Nobody can stop me!"
The ferocious beasts that had no rationality but only killing instincts were all shocked by Li Yao's toughness and craziness. They were scared of him despite their 100% killing instincts.
Some of the ferocious beasts even fled, which was quite rare, only to be beheaded by Li Yao from the back.
