Compared to the stars, human beings were insignificant.
The rings seemed to be as thin as the wings of a cicada, but once one entered deeper into them, they turned out to be vast, profound worlds.
There were roaring pebbles, glittering dust, and invisible turbulence, radiation, and rays everywhere. It was like a surging river that was roaring and running unbridled.
Li Yao was drifting in the overflowing 'river'. Although he had traveled in the Dim Flame Belt once, he still felt that his head was dizzy and grotesque.
The stones inside the planetary ring were extremely dense. Even a tiny escape capsule had to look for gaps among the stones carefully and calculate the angle and the orbit precisely in order to pass through the dangerous space.
Li Yao also discovered that, in the middle of the rushing stones of different sizes, he could occasionally see some square or rectangular objects that were emitting metallic colors.
The metals were not reflecting the brilliance of the stars. Instead, they were glittering from the inside to the outside.
Judging from their luster, they did not seem to be naturally-formed minerals but more like man-made alloys.
These metals were pieces of Starry Sky Tablets.
Adjusting the resolution and the observation distance of the crystal cameras to the maximum, Li Yao could basically see that the steles were engraved with complicated runes.
Many of the steles were even hollow, with translucent crystals floating inside.
Although they had been ravaged for thousands of years, they were still glittering and releasing spiritual energy incessantly.
Li Yao closed his eyes and released his spiritual threads from his spiritual root, perceiving the space steles with his mind.
He could clearly sense that dozens of spiritual waves were being released from the space steles like octopuses, binding the broken stones around him. They formed a solid shield of stones.
Every space stele was the 'pivot' of a shield of stones. When millions of shields of stones were combined, they formed a planetary ring. Hundreds of planetary rings were connected to each other in a disordered way without being disordered at all.
That was the formidability of 'quasi-stellar defensive magical equipment'!
Li Yao adjusted his breathing to the softest. He became even more cautious. The escape pod was like a light feather that floated between the rocks.
Although this quasi-Stellar Dharma treasure had existed for four to five thousand years, it had not been able to withstand the legendary Heavenly Tribulation five thousand years ago.
However, Li Yao was not certain that it had lost all of its powers.
He was even more unwilling to use his life to confirm this.
However, the others were not as cautious as him.
Not far behind Li Yao. The Squid finally reached the periphery of the planetary ring.
The rocks in this area were too dense. With the size of the Squid, there was no way it could enter the planetary ring. Otherwise, it would be attacked by countless rocks.
If he wanted to resist all the stones, he would have to turn on his spiritual shield all the time and adjust it to a very high level, which would consume an astronomical amount of spiritual energy.
It could only revolve in the same direction as the planetary ring. At the same time, he released a large amount of Crystal Suit.
Hundreds of Crystal Suit were in battle formation from six or seven different angles. They slowly infiltrated the planetary ring, attempting to surround Li Yao.
"Come on. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Li Yao smiled. He rubbed his burning hands and tapped on the control light beam softly.
Instantly!
After a series of mechanical noises, the form of the escape pod changed again. Four sharp-edged alloy wings protruded from the rear of the escape pod, forming a cross.
In space, the cross wings were mainly used to cut the tiny rocks so that they would not hit the escape pod directly.
Between the cross wings … Four magical equipment units that could accelerate the rotation, turning, and small-scale maneuvering protruded out of the escape pod.
This was the real form of the Spiritual Butterfly escape pod after Li Yao's modification!
It could no longer be called an escape pod, but an out-and-out super shuttle, a super shuttle designed to shuttle freely in the stone belts!
The control light beam in front of Li Yao was glittering, too, and gradually changed. The number of spiritual tattoos to control the direction, speed, and angle was increased by more than five times. The number of control light beams increased from three to five, too.
The narrow cabin was glittering in gold, as if it were the most professional super shuttle control platform.
"Game on!"
Running away blindly was not Li Yao's style. Even though he was faced with an expert from Jin Dan, he was still trying his best to make feeble counterattacks!
The planetary ring was the burial ground that he had prepared for countless space pirates!
Li Yao blew a whistle. His hands turned into two clusters of mist on the glittering light beam. Torrents that resembled volcanoes suddenly burst out from the back of the escape capsule. As if somebody had kicked it brutally, the escape capsule continued running forward in the most weird curve in the air!
All the space pirates were infuriated. They did not expect that the enemy would be so crazy as to dash at such a high speed in the planetary ring where rocks were rushing past!
But Fengyu Zhong had already burst into fury and declared that the enemy must be intercepted at any cost. Whoever captured the enemy alive would be rewarded with a crystal warship immediately. Whoever killed the enemy would be rewarded with an ultimate Crystal Suit refined by the best experts on Spider Den!
Space pirates were desperadoes in the first place, not to mention the astronomical bounty!
Countless space pirates swarmed close and sprinted among the rocks fearlessly!
The planetary ring seemed to be still, but it was actually revolving around the planet at an unbelievably high speed. The rocks inside were colliding with each other without any pattern. All the routes and angles had to be calculated on the spot. It was almost impossible to predict!
In their haste, more than ten space pirates were hit by the roaring rocks on the spot!
Despite the protection of their spiritual shields, their bones were still broken. For those who were even more unlucky, the crystal processors on the back of their heads or the crystal reactors on their backs were broken. They almost lost all their combat ability and had to quit the battle helplessly.
Li Yao, on the other hand, drove the escape pod unhurriedly and performed unbelievable small-scale maneuvers time and time again. He was like a feather in a turbulence. He seemed to have been swallowed by the swirls several times, but he only came back a moment later. He floated to the surface of the water unhurriedly. Many space pirates were furious and cursed nonstop.
Some of the more anxious space pirates even activated their flying swords and crystal cannons and launched attacks at him without caring about anything else!
The two parties were far away from each other. Also, the rocks in the middle blocked most of the attacks.
Not only did they fail to hit the escape pod, they also triggered something even more dreadful!
Li Yao was focused on calculating the direction and angle of the escape pod when he suddenly sensed an extremely violent tide of spiritual energy behind him. Greatly shocked, he dodged and replayed the picture from a moment ago.
The few space pirates, on the other hand, were too focused on attacking him to notice that a glittering stele had approached them without them knowing it. When one of the space pirates activated his flying sword, he happened to be hit by the space stele brutally!
Not only was the space pirate vomiting blood because of his wounds, the barriers of the monument were triggered. The previously green and gray monument suddenly emitted dazzling brilliance and became as transparent as jade!
The spiritual waves released from the monument were multiplied by hundreds of thousands of times. In the blink of an eye, it was a hundred times stronger than before. It was as if strands of nerves and blood vessels were spreading out continuously. They pierced through the rocks nearby!
The loose rocks were condensed into an enormous object with more than ten tentacles under the impetus of the monument. Then, the tentacles began to revolve crazily!
Caught unprepared, more than ten space pirates were torn apart by the tentacles immediately. They barely had the time to struggle. They were torn apart in the blink of an eye!
Clusters of blood mist were exploding nonstop. The scraps of the Crystal Suit were darted out by the tentacles like hidden weapons and attacked the other space pirates in various directions.
The space pirates all covered their heads and fled. Screams and cries were echoing in the communication channel.
Li Yao was secretly shocked as he watched. He felt lucky that he didn't mess with the monument.
It seemed that the super defense array from five thousand years ago had not lost all its power and was still carrying out its mission dutifully.
After five thousand years and countless meteorite attacks, these Starry Sky Giant Steles were still able to release such powerful power.
Li Yao couldn't help but wonder how splendid it must have been when it was first produced and filled with sufficient spiritual energy five thousand years ago!
Li Yao was fascinated. He looked at the space pirates behind him. After the explosion of the monument, there were less than seventy of them left.
Li Yao grinned and was about to accelerate, when he suddenly felt that his heart was being bitten by nine little black snakes at the same time. The excruciating pain was excruciating!
…
On the bridge of Blood Rain, Fengyu Zhong's face was gloomy.
The Iron Plateau Space Zone was a battlefield that he had carefully designed because the space zone was a forbidden area for Cultivators. There were no large star beacons, no ports or bases for Cultivators, and even the Spiritual Nexus was extremely weak. Intermittent signals of the Spiritual Nexus could only be detected at the edge of the space zone.
Besides, the stone belts everywhere in the space zone would be of great help to him when he was running away.
That was why he had gone through all the trouble to chase the Great Horn Exo Society all the way to the Iron Plateau Space Zone before he launched the fatal attack.
But right now, he was experiencing the feeling of being caught in a trap of his own making.
Although it was just a small escape capsule, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack if it escaped into the stone belts, especially the planetary rings around Iron Plateau. It would be extremely difficult and time-consuming to search for it!
And what he lacked the most was time!
"General Feng, Squid has made contact with the enemy, but we haven't stopped them yet," the advisor said in a low voice.
Fengyu Zhong was silent.
He was faced with a tough choice.
At this moment, Blood Rain, his flagship, was at the rear of the fleet. He was covering the rear in person in case of the Great Horn Exo Society's assault.
Logically speaking, the enemy had been beaten to a pulp, and their starship was almost paralyzed. It was impossible for them to catch up with them, and they had no reason to do so.
But the Great Horn Exo Society was a bunch of lunatics. They could not be judged by common sense.
However, if he did not take action in person, it would be difficult for him to catch the cunning enemy in the stone belts.
Fengyu Zhong pondered for a long time.
During the time, the space behind them had been quiet. There was no trace of the Great Horn Exo Society at all.
"Those lunatics must've reached their limits. It's unlikely that they will come to get killed again."
Fengyu Zhong finally made up his mind.
"Shua!"
