"Today is the day that the secret mission will be announced. The top ten teams on the Rank of Stars are all here!" said Hong Tong softly.
Li Yao's pupils constricted. He scanned the surroundings with his telepathic thoughts.
The top ten teams on the Rank of Stars usually didn't stay in Empyreal Star City for long. They were always moving from one Occult Orb to another. Therefore, many teams didn't have much interaction with Team Blue Bronze.
However, Li Yao had watched their battle videos thousands of times and learned a lot from them. Therefore, he recognized them immediately.
Team Nine Cauldron. All six members were above the middle level of the Building Foundation Stage. Their melee combat ability was the best in Occult Orbs Fellowship.
Team Vanishing Shadow. Four of the six members were experts in mental warfare, who could crash the enemy's brain without shedding a single drop of blood.
All six members of the Fierce Fang Battle Team were experts in Gun Kungfu. Once the dense net of fire was formed, even a Daemon King could be easily killed.
Of course, there was also Team Thunder Soul, led by Yan Jun, who had ranked first on the Rank of Stars for a year and was the absolute king of Occult Orbs Fellowship.
While Li Yao was observing the other nine teams, the Orb Patrollers of the nine teams were observing him quietly, too.
Team Blue Bronze had once made it to the top five of the Rank of Stars. It was not surprising that they were back this time. Hong Tong, Ba Weiqi, and the other senior members of the team were all above average. Their strength was well known.
Vulture Li Yao and Inferno Witch Ding Ling Dong, on the other hand, had attracted the attention of the Orb Patrollers and many Cultivation sects because of their impressive performance.
The integration of two Sectors was not going to happen overnight. According to the calculation of the Tian family, it would take twenty to thirty years, or even longer, for the two Sectors to be fully integrated.
Considering the current capability of the two Sectors, before they were fully integrated … Barring any accidents, it would be impossible to defeat the enemy.
In other words, it was going to be a protracted war. It might last for decades.
Strong newcomers with infinite potentials such as Li Yao and Ding Ling Dong might only be in the middle level of the Building Foundation Stage right now. But after twenty to thirty years of training, as long as they were not killed, it was very likely that they would become a super expert in the world of Cultivators!
Just as the two sides were observing each other, a light breeze suddenly swept through the hall without any warning.
Everyone's vision blurred as three illusory figures materialized at the front of the hall. It was as if they had been standing there all along.
Li Yao's spirit was roused. A true powerhouse had arrived!
On the left was a tall and sturdy man. He was a bald giant who was more than two meters tall. His bulging muscles made his black suit look a size smaller, as if it would be torn apart at any time. On his back was an extremely small flying sword, so small that it looked like a child's toy.
Logically speaking, a strong man with such a physique should use a chainsaw machete that was two to three meters long to be imposing. However, he used a flying sword that was less than twenty centimeters long and looked like an iron skewer. It looked a little funny.
The person in the middle was dressed ordinarily. He was an ordinary-looking old man with a half-asleep expression and messy white hair. He was no different from the retired old men who could be seen everywhere in the town, squatting on the flower beds and playing chess.
On the right was an elegant middle-aged lady. Because she was here to pay respects to the deceased, she was wearing a plain white dress, which gave her an ethereal feeling that she did not belong to the mortal world.
The auras of the three powerhouses were completely sealed. However, they were naturally releasing their unparalleled will. As the saying goes, 'Awe without anger'. That was exactly how it was.
"It's Yuanying! Three Yuanying! "
Li Yao's eyes were so hot that he almost wanted to scratch his eyelids with his fingers. He was afraid that he would miss every move of the Yuanying monsters.
In the world of Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector, there were only dozens of Yuanying monsters. Hundreds of Jin Dan experts.
Among the Yuanying monsters, there were very few battle-type Cultivators. There were no more than ten of them. Most of the Yuanying monsters were admin-type or research-type Cultivators.
After all, the advancement of battle-type Cultivators had to be achieved by fighting. The death rate of battle-type Cultivators was much higher than that of other types of Cultivators.
The three Yuanying monsters in front of him were all directors of Occult Orbs Fellowship. Li Yao had spent a fortune of contribution points to buy their combat videos. Therefore, he recognized them immediately.
They were all battle-type Cultivators!
One-third of the best warriors of the Tian Yuan Realm were gathered in front of him!
Excitement, reverence, and admiration! Li Yao held his breath and tried to recall the information about the three Yuanying monsters.
The seemingly unattractive old man in the middle was' Iron God 'Yan Ba, the former leader of the Devilish Fist Sect and known as the best body practitioner of the Heaven's Origin Sector. He was also a' body fundamentalist 'who disdained to use any magical equipment and was invincible in the world with his fists!
Li Yao had watched his combat videos and watched him beat a demon king to death with his bare hands in less than five seconds. He had to admit that his fists were indeed lethal weapons that were sharper than any magical equipment.
The beautiful middle-aged woman on the right, on the other hand, was' Sevenfold Dream 'Meng Weiyang, a hybrid-type Cultivator who was talented in both fighting and literature.
She was an Illusionist, one of the most mysterious professions in the world of Cultivators. She was best at constructing mysterious illusionary worlds with words and trapping her targets in which they would be trapped in endless battles under the rules that she dictated.
The bald, muscular man on the left, who was using a Silver Thread Fast Sword and whose weapon did not match his physique, was nicknamed 'Sand', which also did not match his physique.
'Sand' Sha Tianqing was 192 years old. He was the leader of the School of Sand and Gravel.
The School of Sand and Gravel, also known as' Sand Flow ', was not a real sect. It was just a group of Cultivators from different sects who had come together under the stimulation of their common belief in the truth of Cultivation and held academic seminars on a regular basis.
The Cultivators of the School of Sand and Gravel believed that what really determined power was speed. As long as the speed reached the maximum, even a grain of sand would be enough to kill a Yuanying monster!
Therefore, magical equipment, mystic rays, and miscellaneous techniques were all unnecessary. The School of Sand and Gravel only studied one thing, which was how to accelerate a common object to a super high speed beyond the limit.
Therefore, the School of Sand and Gravel was also known as the 'School of Acceleration'. It was said that they believed that as long as the speed broke the real limit, it would be normal for a grain of sand to blow up a planet, not to mention killing a Yuanying monster.
Of course, it was another problem to ensure the integrity of the grain of sand at such a high speed.
Although many Cultivators despised the ideology of the School of Sand and Gravel, none of them dared to doubt Sha Tianqing's capability. In the countless competitions of the 'Competitions of Beliefs', Sha Tianqing had proved his theory with the seemingly ordinary Silver Thread Fast Sword on his back.
The arrival of the three Yuanying experts cast the hall into a weird silence. Like Li Yao, everybody was looking at them with passion and admiration.
The three Yuanying experts first offered incense to the Orb Patrollers who had been sacrificed. After a minute of silence, they turned around and glanced at the crowd with their sharp eyes.
Meng Weiyang, the Illusionist, said casually,
"Three months ago, Occult Orbs Fellowship issued a secret mission that called for ten candidate squads. The selected squads will receive the guidance of the nine directors of Occult Orbs Fellowship and the other Yuanying experts in the world of Cultivators!
"I believe that you all know that we are going to explore Ultimacy!
"According to our latest intelligence, the Blood Demon Sector is building an unprecedentedly large super teleportation array, 'Eye of Blood Demon', with all the resources available. In the meantime, the royal family and the noble families of the major demon kingdoms are being selected from the Blood Demon Sector and refined with the cruelest and bloodiest secret techniques before they are sent to Ultimacy.
"It means that the Orb Patrollers participating in the mission to Ultimacy are likely to encounter the strongest opponents in history!
"Dangers and opportunities are right in front of you. If anyone wants to quit, you can leave now and let the other squads take your place. If no one quits, the mission to explore Ultimacy will officially begin from this moment on! "
…
One day later, in a valley with jagged rocks three hundred kilometers away from Empyreal Star City, there were six military bases.
In the periphery of the valley, there were all kinds of flying sword launching positions and anti-air defense barriers. More than a hundred crystal warships were stationed there.
Inside the valley, there was a giant crater almost five hundred meters in diameter. The surface of the crater was as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been melted into glass. It looked like a giant meteorite had crashed into the ground and caused the crater.
A few crystal airships sailed to the crater after multiple inspections.
Li Yao's nose stuck to the window. He opened his eyes wide and observed the crater carefully.
The closer he got, the more he could feel the vastness of the pit. He was like an ant that had crawled into an enormous iron pot.
When he was less than five hundred meters away, he vaguely saw that the walls of the crater were densely packed with runes the size of a palm.
Runes the size of a palm were enough to fill a crater almost five hundred meters in diameter. What an enormous project it was!
At the center of the crater was a hole more than ten meters in diameter. It was so dark that it led to the bottom of the crater, making it look like a funnel.
Li Yao vaguely sensed that furious spiritual waves of fire were spreading out from the depths of the hole.
"This is the super teleportation array that can teleport Cultivators to Ultimacy thousands of lightyears away, the Heaven's Artillery!"
Meng Weiyang stood at the front of the cabin and said proudly, "Because the scale of the teleportation array is too large and the orbit required is too long, it is impossible to solve the problem of the intensity of the orbit and the supply of spiritual energy if it is built on the ground. Therefore, the Heaven's Artillery was built underground.
"The hole you see is the silo of the Heaven's Artillery."
"We chose this valley because there happens to be a very active magma belt below the ground. The earthfire that contains immense spiritual energy can't wait to break out of the ground.
