"It is not necessarily a good thing to be on the Stars to Destroy List. You will become the target of public criticism. When you are on a battlefield, the demons will attack the brutal demons whose names are on the Stars to Destroy List first. If you are one of the top experts on the list, chances are that they will assassinate you from afar!"
Ding Ling Dong said with a smile, but she was not worried at all.
She was proud that her boyfriend was on the Stars to Destroy List, too. However, she was not convinced and thought that she should have been on the list earlier.
The Stars to Destroy List and the Deadly Demons List were lists made by the Blood Demon Sector and the Tian Yuan Realm in order to hunt down the experts of the enemy.
Once an expert was on the list, the enemy would collect relevant files at any cost and offer a high bounty. They would try their best to kill the expert.
Killing an expert on the Stars to Destroy List or the Deadly Demons List would not only severely damage the enemy's war potential, it would also be a great blow to the morale of the enemy.
After Li Yao entered Empyreal Star City, he had heard a lot of secrets about the Federation among the Orb Patrollers.
For example, Xu Haoran, the Speaker of the Federation and the third expert on the Stars to Destroy List, was assassinated by the demons many times every year.
In the meantime, many experts such as Jin Dan and the Yuanying experts were trying their best to sneak into the Blood Demon Sector and assassinate the super demons in the top hundred of the Deadly Demons List, too.
For such experts, the death of any one of them would be earth-shattering news.
Li Yao sniffed and smiled casually.
"Assassinate me? Feel free to do so. I feel that my ranking on the Stars to Destroy List is too low! "
Thinking for a moment, he took off the Atlas of Demons and put it on Ding Ling Dong. Then, he activated it in the external mode and said, "Try it. This is a piece of training magical equipment from the Star Ocean Imperium that I just repaired."
Ding Ling Dong's eyes shined.
"You can even repair a piece of magical equipment from the Star Ocean Imperium … Hiss!"
She was in a trance for a moment. Sweat was pouring down her forehead. Her body was shivering. A moment later, she shuddered. She realized what was going on and covered her chest. Flames danced in his eyes as he shouted excitedly, "This magical equipment is really interesting!"
Li Yao smiled. He saw that Ding Ling Dong was completely immersed in it. Her eyes were wide open, and she was gritting her teeth as she fought with the enemies in the illusion. He simply retreated to the side and took out the nine fragments of magical equipment. Closing his eyes, he repeatedly rubbed them with his extremely sensitive fingertips, feeling the cold saber intent from ten thousand years ago.
After all, he had a lot of training methods. It was impossible for him to train with the Slaughterhouse of Demons twenty-four hours a day. Therefore, he might as well use the secret treasure together with Ding Ling Dong to improve his efficiency.
Li Yao really hoped that Ding Ling Dong could also enter the Stars to Destroy List. The two of them would advance hand in hand.
If a person walked forward alone. It was too lonely.
In the next few days, the two of them practiced extreme combat training in the Slaughterhouse of Demons together. When the rest period was over … When the six members of Team Blue Bronze were reunited, their unstoppable vigor greatly surprised the other four members of Team Blue Bronze.
In the month that followed, Team Blue Bronze accepted quite a few high-risk missions in a row and completed all of them perfectly. Their ranking in the Rank of Stars was also among the top 15. Li Yao and Ding Ling Dong fought more and more bravely. Their splendid battle videos were not only circulated in Empyreal Star City, but also in the entire world of Cultivators.
Nobody regarded them as newcomers anymore. They had become out-and-out veteran Orb Patrollers.
…
On June 2, in the Dead Soul Ocean …
This was an Occult Orb that was completely covered by a surging ocean. Except for the occasional reef that popped up from the black ocean with sharp teeth. There was no place for them to stand.
Strong winds were blowing in the sky of the Dead Soul Ocean all year round. Giant swirls were everywhere in the ocean. The tides raised by the surging undercurrents could reach hundreds of meters into the sky, uttering weird noises that sounded like the wailing of wronged souls.
Looking down from the sky, countless wronged souls seemed to be wandering at the bottom of the ocean. That was how the Dead Soul Ocean got its name.
At this moment, in the middle of the tusk-like tides that were higher than the previous one, a Crystal Suit was dodging left and right with a gold exhaust flame.
It was the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit driven by Li Yao!
After being polished by countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in Occult Orbs Fellowship, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit today had undergone drastic changes compared to three months ago.
After being melted with Swallow Shadow Stone, Heaven Tiger Refined Copper, Red Dawn Liquid, and other rare materials, the appearance of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had turned from light gray to deep black. The edge of every piece of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was painted with lines that were as red as blood.
Against the backdrop of the black ocean, the blackness was almost invisible. It was like a translucent red 3D structure that was occasionally blinking with golden brilliance. It was full of coldness and mystery, like … a deep, dark sky!
"BOOM!"
Behind the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, who was fleeing at full speed, a giant water bubble more than fifty meters in diameter bulged out of the ocean. Then, earthshaking noises burst out.
The water bubble exploded, revealing a powerful demon beast more than fifty meters in diameter that looked like a giant octopus!
Every tentacle of the demon beast was as thick as a crystal train. Not only were the suction discs that could absorb seawater and air and disrupt the spiritual waves nearby, there were also sarcomas growing between the suction discs, which could spurt out the seawater that was absorbed at a super high pressure and form 'high-pressure water daggers'.
Without the Crystal Suit, even a Building Foundation Stage Cultivator might be cut in half by the daggers!
Eight thick tentacles supported a head that was as big as a floating mountain. Countless barnacles and shells were attached to the head, which were connected together to act as armor. They were colorful and formed circles of strange patterns.
At the center of the circular patterns was a crimson eye more than two meters in diameter. It boasted the ability of mental attack and could tear apart the soul of a low-level Cultivator with a single glance.
Below the eye were eight wrinkles around the body, which were used to swallow the prey.
Every wrinkle was filled with coldly shining bone spurs that looked like sharp teeth. There was no doubt that, once the target was swallowed, the Crystal Suit and the bones would be chewed into nothingness.
"Hoooo! Hoooo! Hoooo! "
The octopus sea demon couldn't have been more infuriated. Liquids as thick as blood flowed out of the crimson eye. Through the spurting holes below its head, the octopus sea demon chased after Li Yao at an amazingly high speed.
"Pu! Pu! Pu! "
While it was chasing, liquids as dark as ink were spurting out incessantly from the sixteen holes on its head, which exploded around Li Yao and formed clusters of stinky venomous fog.
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit at this moment was no longer the MP Crystal Suit from half a year ago. After every mission, Li Yao would spend a lot of contribution points to purchase Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for modification. To this day, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was a super battlesuit whose performance was as good as that of certain Jin Dan experts.
In the meantime, Li Yao's skills in the Crystal Suit had been improving crazily in the life-and-death battles, too.
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was about to be enveloped by the venomous fog, but the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit turned into blurred shadows and escaped from unimaginable angles. Then, under the cover of the waves, it continued moving forward.
Sometimes, the surging tides and the water daggers of the octopus sea demon were only one hair away from the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
But the 'hair' seemed to have been stuck by the mucus of the Flicking Dart Frog. No matter how furious the octopus sea demon was, it couldn't cut a single piece of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, not even the metal scraps as thin as a cicada's wing!
Suddenly …
Hundreds of blurred shadows merged into one. The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit stopped in midair.
In front of him was the intersection of the ocean currents. A giant wall of water more than fifty meters high and more than a thousand meters long appeared on the surface of the ocean.
The octopus sea demon was squeaking in excitement. It stirred up eight enormous swirls with its tentacles and rushed forward at full speed.
It was a pity that, although its eyeballs were large, they didn't have the ability to see through. It couldn't see the cruel smile on Li Yao's face.
"Crack!"
Sixteen soft noises burst out at the same time. Sixteen explosions took place in the ocean around the octopus sea demon. As sixteen bright blue streaks of light swept by, the raging waves were frozen into solid statues.
Together with the octopus sea demon, the entire ocean within a hundred square meters was frozen into a giant iceberg!
"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! "
The octopus sea demon had a strong vitality. The 'Frigid Ice Prison', a magical equipment from the Star Ocean Imperium that could freeze everything in a blink of an eye, only froze it for a moment.
Very soon, the frozen ocean began to crack. The crimson eye that had been frozen for a moment started to revolve crazily again, triggering red brilliance that was almost tangible.
But for Li Yao, a moment of freezing was more than enough.
In midair, Li Yao stomped on the air and blasted two giant holes more than ten meters in diameter on the wall of water that was dozens of meters high. Then, he took a weird turn and blinked to the front of the giant eyes of the eight-clawed sea demon like a ghost.
Three foldable claws popped out of his left arm quickly, transforming his left arm into a metal claw. Every claw was full of complicated spiritual stripes, and a series of invaluable marrow crystals were embedded in the middle. Purple electric arcs and green fire were dancing on the claws in cracking noises that were ripping apart the air.
Compared to the mainstream melee magical equipment such as chainswords and vibration sabers, the Lightning Claw was a rarely-seen weapon.
Because the practice of claw arts was too painful, and the user had to stick close to the enemy's body in a battle, the Lightning Claw was not favored by most of the Cultivators who pursued elegance.
Li Yao was different. His hands had long been tormented by the [Thousand Fingers Supple Bone Technique]. He had gone through all kinds of inhumane training. Not only was it vicious, it was simply insane.
Compared to the 'Thousand Fingers Soft Bone Art', even the cruelest training of claw arts was nothing.
Besides, he had the super resistance of the 'Thousand Tempering Hundred Refining', and he liked melee combat best, too.
The Lightning Claw, as a piece of melee magical equipment, was almost tailor-made for him.
This Lightning Claw was personally crafted by an elder of the Eagle Strike Sect, who specialized in claw arts. It even had his soul imprint on it. It was definitely a limited edition, not a mass-produced model that was crafted by an ordinary disciple.
Li Yao had hammered thirteen kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures into the claws with the ancient techniques of the Hundred Smelting Clan. He had even embedded a lot of marrow crystals into the claws without caring about the cost. The Lightning Claw was definitely one of the best!
