Hardly had they concluded their sentence when they heard a deafening explosion from the periphery of the City of Silver about fifty kilometers to the southwest.
The sound was accompanied by a tremor that could topple mountains and overturn seas, causing the dilapidated walls around them to collapse once again. Even the skeletons of many ferocious beasts that stood upright collapsed one after another, falling to the ground with a crash and turning into scattered bones.
"What's that?"
Everybody stared at the southwest in shock.
At the end of the horizon in the southwest, colorful clusters of light were rolling like liquids and forming a splendid fountain. They spurted to a height of thousands of meters within a moment and were almost on par with the blossoming Supreme Tower.
Very soon, the 'fountain' grew higher and higher. The brilliance that had dispersed to the surroundings was condensed into a translucent pillar of light that soared into the sky, ripped apart the firmament, and darted to the end of the universe of Pangu far away in the sea of stars!
"This seems to be — seems to be a bridge?"
Li Yao gasped. Mysterious feelings vaguely popped up deep inside his soul, as if he had seen something similar a long, long time ago in the memories of his previous life. "It's … a bridge that connects different sub-universes. It's a super teleportation array — the Rainbow Bridge — that shuttles between the Universe Ocean!"
In an instant, the Rainbow Bridge had been built. The scattered light gradually condensed and gathered, becoming more and more like an indestructible pillar of light.
From the bottom of the Rainbow Bridge, glittering objects were rising up nonstop. They were all kinds of complicated components and mysterious units.
The cold metals and crystals seemed to be manipulated by an invisible giant hand and boasted their own lives. They attracted each other, connected, and bit each other. Starting from the most fundamental components, they constituted an enormous piece of magical equipment — a bizarre-shaped, murderous, small, translucent starship.
"What's that place?"
Alarms were ringing in Li Yao's head. He asked the Moon Watcher anxiously, "What's that?"
"To the southwest is the 'forty-seventh district' of the Divine Palace, where the Flood Tide Legion is studied. Although most of the captives of the Flood Tide Legion were killed thousands of years ago, part of their bodies still have living tissues. The last few captives who were preserved with the hibernation technology are all caged there.
The Moon Gazer stammered, "There is also their magical equipment. All the magical equipment that the Flood Tide Army used in the battle against the Pangu expedition army, including their warships and portable space gates, are being studied there, too. Their way of traveling in the four-dimensional space is slightly different from ours. It is very valuable for research.
"The — the pieces seem to be from a small shuttle of the Flood Tide Legion. However, in case the Flood Tide Legion rose again, we have imposed multiple barriers on all the hibernating captives, the corpses of the dead captives, and even their living tissues in the strictest standards. Their war machines and starships have all been dismantled into the most fundamental components, too. Unless it is a senior researcher with high-level permissions, it is impossible for them to touch any fuel or ammunitions. How — how did the components assemble automatically?"
"The Flood Tide Army … has really risen from the ashes?"
Li Yao bit his lips so hard that blood flowed out. Thinking quickly, he soon realized what was going on. "Therefore, somebody is hiding in the 'forty-seventh district' where the Flood Tide Legion is studied, activating a portable space gate that the Flood Tide Legion uses to communicate with the Universe Ocean, activating a 'Rainbow Bridge' from the Pangu universe to the center of the Universe Ocean, and reassembling a small shuttle?
"As long as the 'Rainbow Bridge' is filled with enough energy and the small shuttle is reassembled, it will be able to tear apart the three-dimensional universe and reach the center of the Universe Ocean, won't it?
"Where is the enemy's destination exactly?
"Yes. There is no other possibility. It must be the center of the Flood, which is the legendary 'Earth'!
"The enemy is fleeing back to Earth through the Rainbow Bridge to report the situation in the Pangu universe to the Flood Tide. The enemy must've collected enough information, including the coordinates of the Pangu universe, the existence of the black wall, the current situation of the descendants of the Primeval Clan in the Pangu universe, and how strong the people in the universe are. All the information must've been reported to the Flood.
"If the enemy is truly gone, the coordinates and military intelligence of the Pangu universe will be completely exposed to the Flood. There will be no hundreds or thousands of years for us to inherit, absorb, develop, and prepare for war. The Flood Tide may appear in front of the civilization of mankind in the next second.
"No. We have to stop it!"
Li Yao sent his speculations to the public communication channel.
All the experts were dumbfounded at first. Then, they gnashed their teeth, not knowing whether they should curse Li Yao or sigh to themselves.
However, waiting to be killed was certainly not the style of the human experts. When two enemies met on a narrow path, the braver one would win. This was the Pangu universe, their home, their country, and their final battlefield!
The Colossi that were heavily wounded and riddled with holes soared into the sky and darted toward the Rainbow Bridge with the last flames of brilliance.
"We'll deal with you after we take care of the Flood Tide Army!"
On their way, Li Linghai and the other Immortal Cultivators shouted at Li Yao angrily.
"Huh?"
Li Yao put on an innocent face. "Is it my fault again? It's obviously a coincidence. Don't be so superstitious, alright? "
Fifty kilometers was nothing more than the blink of an eye for the Colossi that were rushing at full speed.
While they were talking, they had already reached the forty-seventh district, where the Flood Tide Army was caged and studied.
The forty-seventh district was at the periphery of the City of Silver. It was not the main battlefield where the guards of the Divine Palace fought the tide of ferocious beasts. Most of the buildings here were still intact.
But at this moment, all the skyscrapers had been covered in pink bubbles, turning into a bottomless ocean of bubbles. It seemed that the ferocious beasts that had been dissected and obliterated in this place were even more numerous than those gathered around the towers.
Also, the bubbles that represented the most fundamental cells and genes that were decomposed from the fleshly body did not completely lose their vitality. Instead, they seemed to have turned into a gigantic, soft, rotten, and weird creature. It was an amalgamation of infinite cells. Like a wriggling plasticine, it expanded nonstop and swallowed everything around.
Li Yao watched countless pink tentacles extend out of the ocean of bubbles and cling to and enshroud a skyscraper dozens of floors high like vines and vines, swallowing the skyscraper completely.
It must be noted that the skyscraper had been built with the height of the Pangu people. It was even more magnificent than the standard skyscrapers of human beings. But in the blink of an eye, it had been digested and absorbed by the ocean of bubbles in a visible way. It was both disgusting and terrifying. Li Yao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Watch out!"
Right when Li Yao was deeply shocked by the slowly wriggling ocean of bubbles, an exclamation suddenly echoed in the communication channel. Then, an enormous fireball exploded on his left side. It turned out to be a Colossus driven by an Immortal Cultivator that had been attacked by a mysterious enemy. It was a giant more than seventy meters tall, with three heads and six arms, hiding behind the skyscraper that was enshrouded in bubbles. It was also covered in a thick layer of bubbles, fooling everybody with such a disguise that could perfectly block the scanning of mystic rays and the detection of waves. It was not until the unfortunate Colossus happened to fly past it that it suddenly took action, grabbing the right leg of the Colossus and smashing it at the skyscraper next to it brutally.
The skyscraper was halved by the immense strength, and the Colossus was blown into a series of miserable fireballs.
"Enemy attack!"
"On alert!"
"What is that thing exactly?"
"Watch out for more monsters!"
Greatly shocked, everybody unleashed their firepower at the three-headed, six-armed indigo fiend crazily, forcing it to retreat. However, there was a special layer of energy around its body that seemed to be a soft armor that stuck to its body tightly. It was able to absorb most of the destructive energy and only retreat without spurting out any blood.
Judging from its appearance, it was certainly not a natural creation.
It was because natural-born human-shaped creatures did not need to grow three heads and six arms, nor did they need to grow to an astonishing height of seventy meters.
In the natural environment of most habitable planets, such a height would only lead to an unbelievable weight, which would cause it to collapse under its own weight. For the Pangu people, it was already their limit to grow to twenty meters.
Also, it did not look like an abnormal product of genetic mutations such as the 'Tyrant Armored Dragon'. Or rather, if it were truly some sort of artificial life, its lifespan would certainly be much shorter than that of the monsters such as the 'Tyrant Armored Dragon'. It was possible that it could only last a few hours and was a one-time consumable specifically created for the battle.
In only a few hours, it had released the ultimate strength stored deep inside the cells, thereby burning the most explosive flames into a destructive form that looked like a deity. Such a monster was exactly a 'nuclear weapon' on the cellular and genetic level!
"Aooo!"
After enduring the barrage of almost a hundred human experts for ten seconds, the spiritual shield that covered the indigo fiend's body was finally broken. Yan Liren took the opportunity to slash at its carotid artery, causing a huge cluster of blood to burst out from its neck. It was also forced to drop the Colossus that had already been crumpled into a ball.
However, in the next second, after a deafening roar, a few hideous granules dashed out of its neck and weaved into each other dexterously and weirdly, repairing the wound at a visible speed. Very soon, the wound that 'Sword Maniac' Yan Liren cut was restored to its original state, without the slightest scar.
Boom!
