"The 'stairs' shouldn't be up there. This is a fragment world, an independent space. The so-called 'up, down, left, and right' doesn't have much meaning. The 'stairs' that lead to the higher levels of the 'Tower of Babel' is most likely something like a teleportation array."
Li Yao thought to himself. "The defenders did not deploy too many war machines in the sky. Most of the defenders were distributed around the valley. It is obvious that they did not attach much importance to the sky and simply allowed the ferocious beasts to get killed. There is no need for me to repeat the same mistake."
As he continued scanning the undulating valley, he saw that bolts of lightning were striking down brutally one after another, turning into unpredictable balls of lightning that swallowed the lives of the ferocious beasts. Even the war machines of the defenders would be paralyzed on the spot if they accidentally touched the balls of lightning. It could not have been more dangerous.
However, in the middle of the explosions of countless bolts of lightning, Li Yao noticed a highly unusual picture.
Every twenty seconds, more than a hundred bolts of lightning would hit the same place and condense into a gargantuan ball of lightning that was more than a hundred meters in diameter.
The ball of lightning, however, did not float around like regular lightning but stayed where it was, emitting glamorous colors. Ripples were vaguely flowing on the surface, making it look like a swirl or … a gate.
"This is it!"
Li Yao's heart pounded violently.
Of course, it was not a random guess based on his intuition but the result of the comprehensive scan with his keen senses. The gargantuan ball of lightning, under the seemingly shocking sound and visual effects, actually carried the intense air of 'space ripples', which was very similar to the ripples that flowed out of a teleportation array when it was just activated or when a space jump was just over.
Li Yao was certain that it was a teleportation array that was disguised as an enormous ball of lightning!
"This teleportation array appears every seventeen seconds and lasts for 0.78 seconds every time. As long as I am within a thousand meters of it, I will definitely be able to crawl into it in time.
"The problem is that the coordinates of the teleportation array are not fixed every time. How can I determine where it will appear next time?"
Stabilizing 'Solar Catastrophe', Li Yao dodged the lightning from the sky carefully and fought a bloody path in the tide of ferocious beasts. Instead of pursuing the 'lightning teleportation array' recklessly, he spared half of his telepathic thoughts to scan and calculate the patterns of teleportation arrays.
He didn't believe that the appearance of the teleportation circle was random. If that was the case, the "test" would be meaningless.
The Battleship Slicing Blade flew up and down, the chainsword danced with the wind, and the long-range arsenal on his left arm was fully activated. Li Yao forced the beast tide back.
After ten minutes of observation, he also discovered that before the teleportation circle appeared, the corresponding purple clouds in the sky would suddenly expand and flash, and then a bolt of lightning would strike out, as if it was accumulating power and shooting out.
Then, as long as he could determine the location of the purple clouds and their relative relationship, together with a series of complicated calculations, he would be able to lock onto the coordinates of the next teleportation array.
Gold threads appeared on Li Yao's temples again, as if his cranial nerves and cerebral vessels had all surfaced on his skin.
At this moment, the excessively aggressive performance of 'Solar Catastrophe' had attracted the attention of a lot of ferocious beasts. A large batch of enormous war machines on the defense side, similar to the 'space knights', had even turned their cannons to Li Yao.
"I've figured it out!"
Having no time to roar in excitement, Li Yao took a deep breath and blew the muscles of his legs, the power unit of 'Solar Catastrophe', and the supporting structure of his legs to the maximum.
In the first step, dazzling flames of light burst out of the shoulder shield, the back, the skirt, and the bottom of the feet of 'Solar Catastrophe'. A giant rock where it was standing was blown into powder without a sound, and the Colossus was given an unparalleled acceleration. It turned into a streak of brilliance and left dozens of clear blurred shadows behind it.
In the second step, 'Solar Catastrophe' stomped on the head of a 'Tyrannosaurus' brutally, pushing the super ferocious beast's head into its chest. Because of that, the Colossus was given an even more unbelievable acceleration, like an arrow that had been shot at a star!
At this moment, a lot of ferocious beasts and war machines had already sensed Li Yao's intentions.
Cannonballs, acids, venomous fog, death rays … A storm of bullets was thrown at him overwhelmingly, blocking every inch of his way forward.
Li Yao, however, was fearless and ignorant. He pressed forward bravely and took the third step in the blink of an eye, kicking a 'space knight' several kilometers away, smashing the ferocious beasts and even the rocks into smithereens.
BOOM! Rumble!
A new thunderstorm was gathered above his head. Bolts of lightning fell from the sky like raging dragons and exploded around 'Solar Catastrophe', blowing the ferocious beasts and the war machines into smithereens. Even the rocks that were as hard as iron had traces so deep that bones could be seen.
The shocking scene did not affect Li Yao's movement at all. Believing in his own judgment, he simply delivered the fuel into the crystal reactor incessantly and unleashed it from his feet and his back in the form of the most splendid flames.
Go! Go! Go! Having come to this point, nothing could stop him anymore!
Up ahead was a cliff.
There was no shelter in the front, back, left, or right. It was the easiest place for the enemy to focus their fire on.
Also, a thousand bolts of lightning in the sky seemed to have been aimed at the airspace outside of the cliff on purpose, turning the place into an ocean of lightning.
Li Yao, on the other hand, did not hesitate at all. He leaped high into the air with 'Solar Catastrophe'!
The moment he leaped up, the hundred purple clouds in the sky glittered, expanded, and constricted at the same time. Then, a different bolt of lightning darted out at the same time. The hundred bolts of lightning hit a point in front of Li Yao at the same time, condensing into an enormous ball of lightning.
Before the storm of bullets behind him and the ocean of lightning in front of him reached him, Li Yao had already charged into the center of the ball of lightning with 'Solar Catastrophe'! Chi! Chi!
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The Colossus, Little Black, the Crystal Suit, the mustard-seed combat suit, the fleshly body, and Li Yao's soul seemed to be agitated, disintegrated, vaporized, and ionized at the same time, passing through the bizarre infinite space in the fourth dimension.
The thunders, the roars of the ferocious beasts, and the noises of the war machines gradually dispersed, or rather, became dull. However, the environment detection system of 'Solar Catastrophe' sent out earsplitting alarms, hinting to Li Yao that they were in an extreme environment of super high pressure.
This place was no longer 'Thunder Valley'.
They had come to a brand-new world fragment, or rather, to a higher level of the 'tower of empyreans'.
This place turned out to be the depths of the ocean!
Li Yao had never dreamed that the overlapping space inside the 'tower of empyreans' would be so weird. The lower level was the Thunder Valley, and the upper level was the depths of the ocean.
Also, it was not a regular ocean that was suppressing him. The seawater here obviously contained abundant heavy metals, which was similar to the Mercury Ocean on Boneyard. Not only was the pressure appalling, but it was also completely dark. When his telepathic thoughts were spread out, he could only perceive the environment within a thousand square meters. Beyond that was the mysterious ocean that was enshrouded in the mist of war.
In the depths of the ocean, pressure was the most dreadful enemy. In the deep ocean fifty thousand meters below the surface, even the most solid Colossus might be squeezed into a thin layer of iron when its spiritual shield collapsed after it was heavily wounded.
Although the deepest trenches on the standard habitable planets such as the capital planet and the home planet of the Heaven's Origin Sector were often no more than fifty thousand meters deep, nobody knew what kind of dreadful planet this world fragment was on. If it was a planet that was fifty percent larger than the home planet of the Heaven's Origin Sector, it would not be strange at all that the trenches were more than a hundred thousand meters deep.
While Li Yao was surprised by the horror of the undersea world fragment, a black shadow suddenly passed by him without a sound, trying to tear apart his wings at an unbelievably high speed.
Although Li Yao had activated 'Solar Catastrophe' and extended the blade of the Battleship Slaying Saber from below the shield to cut open the stomach of the black shadow based on his natural reflexes, he was still soaked in cold sweat.
It was a ferocious beast!
Judging from the solid shell and the delicate stripes, it was a high-level ferocious beast with a very high degree of mutation. It was almost an 'advanced soldier' in the tide of ferocious beasts.
Not expecting that a ferocious beast would break into this place, Li Yao could not help but feel that his heart was tightened.
It was impossible for the ferocious beast's crazy and chaotic brain to gather intelligence above average to see through the mysteries of the 'Thunder Valley'.
However, if somebody was manipulating it behind the scenes, say, the two leaders of the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan who obviously boasted high intelligence, things might be different.
There was no telling where the mastermind behind the tide of ferocious beasts and the commander of the defenders had gone. Were they in the high-pressure deep ocean or on the higher floors of the 'Supreme Towers'?
The range of vision and senses in this place was extremely poor. Perhaps the unknown ocean in all directions was filled with ferocious beasts and war machines. Also, in a fierce battle in such a harsh environment, the slightest wound could be fatal. Li Yao did not want to get involved with any party.
The seawater was as heavy as cement, and the spiritual shield had to be boosted to the maximum to resist the heavy pressure every second. Even a super Colossus such as' Solar Catastrophe 'could not stay here for a long time. Li Yao sensed the subtle changes in the seawater keenly, as if an overwhelming undercurrent was flowing upward. Holding his breath, he reduced the spiritual energy of the Colossus to the minimum and swam warily for more than ten minutes, only to discover that there was an enormous swirl up ahead.
It was like a tornado that was hanging upside down in the seawater, and the undercurrent was its raging tentacles that spread all the way to dozens of kilometers away. The seawater and the tremendous materials stored in the ocean were all transported to the surface of the ocean.
Li Yao sensed extremely violent spiritual waves inside the swirl. Not only were there ripples caused by the collision of undercurrents, there were also very sharp waves of attack. It was like a chaotic battlefield.
It seemed that a lot of ferocious beasts and defenders were lurking inside the swirl and attacking each other relentlessly.
