Both the space pirates and the Immortal Cultivators knew that, once the space gate was fully repaired, they would be doomed. Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Therefore, since they discovered the fleets of the Cultivators at the periphery of the Spider Den Space Zone, the gory battles had never stopped.
The space pirates and the Immortal Cultivators were sabotaging the repair of the space gate without caring about the cost, postponing their death day by day.
On the Cultivators' side, not only had they established a defense line near the space gate, they had also sent a lot of Grand Illusionary Soldiers to Spider Den.
On one hand, they were restraining the space pirates and the Immortal Cultivators. On the other hand, they were conducting reconnaissance on Spider Den and collecting tremendous data in preparation for the final battle.
As the crystal warships loaded with the Grand Illusionary Soldiers marched into the Spider Den Space Zone one after another, the space pirates and the Immortal Cultivators were already on the losing side. Their multiple assaults had failed. It was possible that the space gate would be completed in only one month.
That was all the information the space pirate knew.
Li Yao certainly would not show any mercy to the member of Storm Prison. After the guy told him everything, Li Yao flicked a light ball with his right hand, which entered his heart through his breastplate. The spiritual energy melted his heart like magma.
The space pirate bulged his eyes, which were still filled with intense fear and confusion, and gradually lost their luster.
Li Yao was deep in thought. If everything was part of Xiao Xuance's scheme, what did he want exactly? Did he really want to destroy Spider Den?
A moment later, Li Yao waved his fists hard and almost shouted aloud.
He understood it now. Everything was clear now!
Five years ago, he had discussed the Grand Illusionary Soldier Project with Professor Mo Xuan. At that time, the two of them had said that, even if Xiao Xuance wanted to plant 'backdoors' in the Grand Illusionary Soldiers, it was impossible for him to control all the Grand Illusionary Soldiers in dozens of space zones instantly.
Because space zones were too far away from each other, there was a delay even if telepathic thoughts were transmitted by light.
The Cultivators in another space zone had a lot of ways to cut off the connection of the Spiritual Nexus between space zones. They could turn the Spiritual Nexus in their own space zone into a local network and block all the commands from the outside world!
However, in the final battle … This problem did not exist at all!
This was the last war. In order to completely destroy Spider Den, the Cultivators would certainly summon most of the Cultivators, crystal warships, and Grand Illusionary Soldiers to jump to the edge of the Spider Den Space Zone through the space gate. S. S. S. S. (). Finish it in one fell swoop!
All the Grand Illusionary Soldiers would be gathered in the same space zone. Then, the Spiritual Nexus would not be delayed at all!
Besides, on a battlefield, there could only be one order and one voice. It was impossible to give multiple orders like a tray of loose sand. Therefore, after they gathered at the periphery of the Spider Spider Space Zone, all the Grand Illusionary Soldiers and Cultivators would certainly be under the command of the same commander. Who else could it be other than Xiao Xuance, the uncrowned king of the Flying Star Sector?
This made it even easier for Xiao Xuance to do something!
"Spider Den was Xiao Xuance's bait. The Temple of Immortals and the Immortal Cultivators were merely Xiao Xuance's stepping stones. Everything he did was to gather most of the forces of the Flying Star Sector and the Grand Illusionary Soldiers in the Spider Den Space Zone!
"Xiao Xuance is trying to copy the Blood God!"
Li Yao muttered to himself as he shuddered.
Ten thousand years ago … In the heyday of the Star Ocean Imperium, an expedition army of billions of lightyears had been sent out to attack the last nest of the demon race.
They had thought that … Victory was within their grasp. The demon race would be obliterated within a few minutes.
But out of their expectations, the Blood God, the commander-in-chief of the expedition army, betrayed them and turned into the 'Mad Armageddon' under the manipulation of the extraterrestrial devils. They formed an alliance with the demon race.
The rebels and the demon race attacked them from both sides. The expedition army, which represented the highest forces of the human world, was obliterated!
"If there is indeed a backdoor in the Grand Illusionary Soldiers, after all the troops are gathered in the Spider Den Space Zone, Xiao Xuance's plan will be implemented. All the Grand Illusionary Soldiers will listen to his command and attack the Cultivators together with the space pirates and the Immortal Cultivators!
"Caught unprepared, the Cultivators will certainly suffer heavy losses, if not all of them!
"This will be the last war. Once all the elites of the Cultivators perish, the unprotected space zones will be like fat lambs waiting to be butchered!
"Yes. Yes. This is the only plan. This is the only hope of victory for the Immortal Cultivators when they are outnumbered!"
Li Yao had vaguely suspected for a long time that the Immortal Cultivators were too weak compared to the Cultivators. Their series of schemes in the Skyhill Domain, Iron Plateau, Heavenly Saints City, and Spider Den, although well-connected and meticulous, were limited to the tactical level all the time. Even if all the schemes worked out, it would be impossible to shake the foundation of the Cultivators' reign over the Flying Star Sector. If anything, their existence would be exposed during the major battles.
The Immortal Cultivators could not afford such a war of attrition!
Even Li Yao had thought of it. There was no reason why the schemers of the Immortal Cultivators had not. But they still jumped out without hesitation and carried out the sordid and brutal plans one after another. "Yes.
Why?
Li Yao had been baffled before.
But right now, he completely understood the reason.
The failures of the Immortal Cultivators did not matter. It did not matter how many times they failed. It did not matter even if they failed in the Skyhill Domain, Iron Plateau, Heavenly Saints City, or Spider Den.
As long as they presented enough threats to raise everybody's sense of crisis and persuade all the ordinary people and Cultivators to support the Grand Illusionary Soldier Project, everything would be fine!
Space pirates, Immortal Cultivators, Black Spider Tower, the Temple of Immortals … They were all chess pieces. None of them mattered!
Xiao Xuance and the Grand Illusionary Soldiers were the only players!
Right now, the last word of the chess player had been spoken. The fatal trap had been revealed!
"No. The space gate must not be repaired.
"Right now, the leaders of various space zones and the leadership of the major sects are all rushing to Heavenly Saints City to hold a morale-boosting meeting.
"After the morale-boosting meeting is over, the Grand Illusionary Soldiers and crystal warships scattered in various space zones will move separately and jump to this place together!
"After they all jump to this place, it will be the time for Xiao Xuance to take action!
"Destroying the space gate will buy me some time so that I will have a chance to go to Heavenly Saints City and tear apart Xiao Xuance's real face!"
Li Yao did not have any evidence right now. Everything was just his speculation, but he was at least 90% confident.
Accusing the uncrowned king of the Flying Star Sector without any evidence was extremely difficult. Of course, it would be very difficult.
However, truth or falsehood depended on whose mouth it was.
If Bai Xinghe accused Xiao Xuance, nobody would believe him even if it was the truth.
But Li Yao was different. He was a great hero of the Flying Star Sector, the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau, and the de facto controller of the Glorious Sunlight Group!
Li Yao was not worried that the Glorious Sunlight Group would betray him at all, because the core of the Glorious Sunlight Group was the Glorious Sunlight Magical Equipment Research Center, even if other people betrayed him. There was no way that the magical equipment research center managed by Professor Mo Xuan would betray him.
"My words alone are enough to influence the decisions of the Glorious Sunlight Group, Iron Plateau, and the Great Horn Exo Society. As long as they take action, a chain reaction will be triggered in the world of Cultivators. I don't believe that Xiao Xuance will just sit by and do nothing.
"As long as he takes action, he will reveal his flaws, and I will be able to cut his throat!"
Li Yao suddenly thought of something and felt that such a plan was too conservative. He might not be able to completely unveil Xiao Xuance's scheme.
"Maybe, I should set up a trap for Xiao Xuance with the things that only I know …
"But right now, I should check out the space gate first!"
The Grand Illusionary Soldiers that broke into the surface of Spider Den were few in number after all. They were gradually annihilated by the space pirates and the Immortal Cultivators.
Many secret docks were hidden below the ground in every corner of Spider Den. Countless crystal warships were spurting out and lunging into space with long exhaust flames.
With Li Yao's Cultivation right now … It was more than easy for him to sneak into a crystal warship and go to space together with the space pirates.
After more than half a day's flight, they were surrounded by a boundless sea of stars where the flames of war were burning. The universe was dyed red.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Before they entered the battlefield, the overwhelming spiritual waves were already crashing into the shell of the crystal warship like an incessant tide.
Then, earsplitting alarms echoed. The crystal warship shook violently. Losing the impetus to move forward, it spun on the spot and disintegrated.
They were hit by the dense cannon fodder and ripped apart.
Hiu!
Li Yao, wearing a Crystal Suit of the Immortal Army that he looted from a certain unfortunate guy, entered the sea of stars like a common soldier of the Immortal Army.
But the splendid view in front of his eyes made him hold his breath for a moment.
There were more than a hundred large star beacons, each almost a hundred meters long, in the shape of a cube. Every edge of the cube was dozens of kilometers long.
The spiritual energy of the star beacons resonated with each other, outlining glittering rays of light that were clearly visible in the deep sea of stars.
It was like a shining cube built by gods and demons, quietly lying across the universe.
It was exactly the space gate.
At this moment, countless refiners and workers were clinging to the star beacons like ants on a pebble, seizing every second to perform the maintenance.
The eight corners of the space gate corresponded to a gargantuan star fortress, which looked like eight giant beehives.
Every 'beehive' was almost a hundred kilometers in diameter. Countless Crystal Suit, armed shuttles, and even crystal warships were entering and exiting the 'beehives'.
There was no telling how the eight star fortresses of such an enormous scale had been moved to the frontline.
Centered at the eight star fortresses, dozens of defense lines interweaved and protected the space gate.
The space pirates, the Immortal Cultivators, the Cultivators, and the Grand Illusionary Soldiers were entangled in the cold sea of stars. Scorching flowers of death blossomed on their bodies and the remnants of their starships. They turned into waves of spiritual energy in the blink of an eye, blowing the bodies and remnants away like dandelions in a strong wind.
"The space gate is about to be repaired. Only the last corner is still lackluster.
"Other than the Grand Illusionary Soldiers, the elites of the world of Cultivators are also stationed here!"
Li Yao secretly frowned. He saw that the emblems of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City were carved on quite a few crystal warships.
In the chaotic battle, a lot of Exos had demonstrated their impressive combat ability, too.
Xiao Xuance's scheme was a secret. Few Immortal Cultivators in the Temple of Immortals were aware of it. Naturally, those Cultivators were not his accomplices. They were merely cannon fodder that had been lured to this place by him.
It was impossible for Li Yao to kill them.
Thinking of something, Li Yao came up with a solution.
