"Did it work?"
Li Yao's forehead was covered in sweat. His cheeks were bulging, and his eyes were wide open as he stared at the watch-shaped magical equipment. His heart was racing.
Nervousness and excitement!
This was the first time that he had ever repaired a piece of magical equipment from the Star Ocean Imperium. If he succeeded, it would mean that he had made a giant leap forward on the path of refining.
Although the magical equipment looked immaculate and the flow of spiritual energy was smooth, whether or not it could be repaired depended on the situation after it was activated.
Li Yao held his breath and took out a red crystal the size of a grain of rice. When it approached the watch-shaped magical equipment, a hexagonal hole appeared on the back of the magical equipment, from which three metal wires extended out and swallowed the red crystal in a hurry.
The red crystal was a marrow crystal.
Although the watch-shaped magical equipment was not large in size, it consumed astronomical spiritual energy when it was activated. Normal crystals and crystal cells could not be activated at all. Only marrow crystals could satisfy its consumption.
"Hum!"
After the marrow crystal was absorbed, the inside of the watch-shaped magical equipment shivered softly. All the components seemed to have been endowed with life by Li Yao and were resonating with each other. The surface of the magical equipment was shining as brilliantly as the night sky, too.
"It works!"
Li Yao's eyes shone. He put the magical equipment on his forehead carefully. The surface of the magical equipment was aimed at the position of his spiritual root. The strap of the watch could automatically adjust its length and fit his head comfortably, without the slightest feeling of coldness or hindrance. It seemed to have melded with his flesh and blood.
Li Yao calmed himself down and extended part of his telepathic thoughts into the magical equipment.
Almost a hundred streams of information were fed back from the depths of the magical equipment. They scanned his brain and confirmed that he was a human being. Then, they concluded that it was the first time that he had used the magical equipment. Therefore, detailed instructions and the usage methods were sent over.
The magical equipment had a strange name. It was named 'Slaughterhouse of Demons'. It was from the Star Ocean Imperium. It was a piece of training magical equipment used by the army.
However, not all the soldiers were qualified to use it. All of them were qualified to use the Slaughterhouse of Demons for training.
It was a piece of magical equipment for several special troops in the Star Ocean Imperium as well as for the experts in the regular troops who had made great contributions to the war and boasted high combat ability and extremely solid souls.
Those who were qualified to use the Slaughterhouse of Demons were the elites of the Star Ocean Imperium!
This was because the Slaughterhouse of Demons was extremely dangerous. Only with a strong mind would one be able to master it. Only those with strong souls could use it for cultivation.
If ordinary soldiers were to recklessly use it, they might be in danger of losing their lives!
Li Yao checked carefully. The Slaughterhouse of Demons was divided into a hundred levels. Level one was the weakest, and level one was the strongest.
However, many of its core components were missing. Li Yao hadn't been able to completely repair it. He could only open it up to level 37, and there were still a few levels missing in between. He could only use a total of 29 levels for cultivation.
"You make it sound so mysterious. Let's first adjust the cultivation intensity to the first level. Give it a try! "
The Slaughterhouse of Demons projected dozens of complicated, translucent operation diagrams into Li Yao's brain. The way to use them was somewhat different from the magical equipment of the Xing Yao Federation.
However, Li Yao had acquired a piece of magical equipment from the Star Ocean Imperium named Neltharion a long time ago. The operation system of Neltharion was a hundred times more complicated than that of the Slaughterhouse of Demons.
Therefore, after a brief study, he figured out how to use the Slaughterhouse of Demons. He selected the first level, which was the lowest difficulty, and activated the magical equipment completely!
"Shua!"
Li Yao felt that a ivory ray shot out of his forehead and condensed into a translucent 3D shadow not far away.
A moment later … The shadow condensed into the shape of a skinny demon. It was a demon with light green skin and a pointy mouth. He stood three meters away with an expressionless face.
"An illusion?"
Before Li Yao realized what was going on, the demon suddenly grinned hideously and flashed past Li Yao in a streak of brightness.
Sharp! Swift! Unstoppable!
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. At first, he felt that his throat was itchy, cold, and uncomfortable. Then, he heard slurping noises. It was not until several seconds later that he realized that his carotid artery had been cut open and his blood was spurting out.
He touched his neck, only to discover that his hand was covered in blood.
Li Yao was greatly shocked. It was not until this moment that excruciating pain swept over his body. A black swirl appeared in front of his eyes and swallowed his soul.
He told himself repeatedly that it was just an illusion. But it took him ten seconds to get rid of the illusion of death. He touched his neck, only to discover that there was indeed a drop of blood.
It was not an illusion. It was the reaction of the body after the brain cells were strongly stimulated.
Some experts of mental warfare could make other people think that their hands were cut by a knife under hypnosis. As a result, there was a real wound on the back of their hands when nobody touched them.
This was a world where the mind could change the matter in the first place.
No wonder only the most determined experts could train themselves with the Slaughterhouse of Demons.
If it were an ordinary soldier whose soul was not strong enough, after being killed in the illusion, their brain would have died and they would have become idiots in reality!
Li Yao took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then, he caught a glimpse of green.
The mysterious green-skinned demon was not gone yet. It was looking at him with a hideous smile from the left side of his back. It turned into a streak of green brightness again and charged at his neck.
Li Yao's eyelids were twitching crazily. His pupils constricted into the size of two needles. Having no time to defend himself, furious purple flames were ignited on his hands as he snatched at the chest of the green-skinned demon!
Swoosh!
Li Yao's carotid artery was cut open again.
The chest of the green-skinned demon was smashed into pieces by Li Yao's Purple Electric Blue Hell Claw, too.
The green-skinned demon screamed miserably and vanished into thousands of streaks of brightness.
"Interesting!"
Li Yao, who had just woken up from the illusion, touched his aching neck and licked his lips excitedly.
He was beginning to understand the training method of the 'Slaughterhouse of Demons'.
It was to stimulate his brain cells repeatedly and generate illusions of powerful demons in the illusion so that he would be in a highly intense state all the time. He would have to be fully focused on the battle and reach his limits in the battles that were on the brink of death time and time again. Improve himself!
"Shua!"
This time, it was two green-skinned demons who appeared in front of him. They were holding coldly shining poisoned bone daggers in their hands.
It seemed that the 'Slaughterhouse of Demons'. It would automatically adjust the intensity of the training according to the training methods of the trainers.
"Come on!"
Every one of Li Yao's brain cells was burning. His eyes were so bright that they seemed to be spurting fire. Before the two green-skinned demons attacked him, he had already charged at them!
From the afternoon to the next morning, Li Yao was like a kid who had just gotten a new toy. He was having a lot of fun without any rest or sleep.
From Level One to Level Seven … He had been 'killed' 372 times in total, but he had also taken down 631 demons.
At the beginning, he had encountered the simplest green-skinned demons. But after he reached Level Five, he gradually encountered enemies above the middle-level demon general level. He couldn't even recognize the species of many demons, but each of them was unbelievably strong. They must have been powerful ancient demons that had gone extinct thousands of years ago.
Li Yao's combat skills had been improving through the 'deaths' and the killings, too.
A night of crazy training was more effective than a month of normal training.
He had planned to train for another three days and three nights. However, Ding Lingdang's appearance disrupted his cultivation rhythm.
Ding Ling Dong's eyes were wide open. Looking at the messy refining workshop, she exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing?
What kind of research are you doing? Why is it in such a mess? Was there an explosion? "
Ding Lingdang hurriedly strode over and carefully examined Li Yao's body. Only after finding no wounds did she let out a sigh of relief.
Li Yao smiled.
"I'm fine. What's wrong? Didn't the captain say that we were all exhausted because of the frequent visits to the Occult Orbs over the past month? So, we were given a five-day vacation so that we could train ourselves? What's wrong? Is there anything new? "
Ding Ling Dong chuckled and waved the mini crystal processor on her wrist. She said crisply,
"There's good news, or maybe bad news. You are now on the Stars to Destroy List, the 2998th place!"
"What!"
Li Yao was dazed. He repeated, "I'm now on the Stars to Destroy List, the 2998th place?"
In the Star Glory Federation, intelligence on the formidable enemies of the Blood Demon Sector had been collected through all kinds of methods, especially the powerful kings and experts of the demon race. They had all been recorded and compiled into a 'Deadly Demons List', which listed the three thousand demon experts of the Blood Demon Sector who posed the greatest threat to the Star Glory Federation. Astronomical bounties had also been set up.
It was the greatest glory for a Cultivator of the Heaven's Origin Sector to slay a great demon on the Deadly Demons List.
Similarly, in the Blood Demon Sector, some demons were responsible for collecting and sorting the intelligence of the Tian Yuan Sector and ranking the three thousand Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector who posed the greatest threat to the Blood Demon Sector. It was the Stars to Destroy List!
It was safe to say that the three thousand demon experts and the three thousand Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector on the Deadly Demons List and the Stars to Destroy List were all likely to influence the outcome of the war.
They were all fully deserving of the title of great figures in their respective worlds!
A year ago, Li Yao could only look up to the three thousand Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector on the Stars to Destroy List.
He had never expected that he would be on the Stars to Destroy List one day!
Although it was only the 2998th place, it was already a remarkable achievement.
In terms of influence and importance to the Federation, the top five hundred sects in the Federation had five hundred leaders and a lot of elders who were qualified to be on the Stars to Destroy List.
Also, there were the principals and scholars of the Nine Elite Universities, the generals of the military regions, and the seniors who had been fighting for hundreds of years in the circle of Cultivators …
There were very few places left for newcomers.
There were even fewer experts who could be on the Stars to Destroy List before the age of thirty and become thorns in the eyes of the demon race.
"I didn't know that you would rise so fast. Even I, who had been training myself crazily, failed to be on the Stars to Destroy List. But you are one step ahead of me!"
Ding Ling Dong retorted, her hands on her hips.
Li Yao grinned. He knew that he was on the Stars to Destroy List not only because of his excellent performance in the Occult Orbs in the past two months but also because of his expertise in refining and the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
Over the past few months, although the demon race hadn't launched a large-scale attack, the war in the north of the Grand Desolate Plateau had never stopped.
As more and more troops were equipped with the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, the defense of the army was getting higher and higher. Even in the dangerous areas where crystal warships couldn't reach, the army was bold enough to send 'Crystal Suit Legions' to engage in melee combat with the demon race.
It was safe to say that the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was as troublesome for the demon race as a Yuanying monster.
As the youngest participant of Project Mystic Skeleton, Li Yao boasted a high combat ability. More importantly, he had a lot of potential despite his young age, which was the primary reason why he was on the Stars to Destroy List.
The fact that he was one of the three thousand Cultivators who posed the greatest threat to the Blood Demon Sector in the eyes of the demon race suggested that the intelligence collection work of the Blood Demon Sector had been effective. The infiltration of the Tian Yuan Realm had reached a certain height, too.
