Every word that Li Yao roared out was accompanied by the resounding drumbeats deep inside his soul, raising surging tides in the dead silent sea of stars.
Every feather on the golden wings turned into a tiny power rune array. The countless power rune arrays spurted out dazzling sparks at the same time, and the flames surged to hundreds of kilometers away, making him look like a rushing meteor shower from the depths of the infinite sea of stars!
Boosted by countless power rune arrays, Li Yao's speed was accelerated to the highest. His soul and the saber were melded into one, and he pierced the hideous face on the chest of the star child unstoppably.
"Chi!"
Like a burning saber that had been stabbed into the snow, the remnants of the starships on the star child's chest were all melted, evaporated, and dispersed!
The ferocious face grimaced, revealing an expression of incomparable pain.
Li Yao's soul revolved crazily. The wound soon turned into an enormous swirl that expanded to his entire body, mincing the body made of a thousand crystal warships into pieces!
"Ahhhhhhh!"
The star child screamed miserably and revealed the real appearance of his soul while he shuddered. It was a cluster of crazily bouncing purple fire of spiritual energy that looked like a gargantuan mutated octopus that was waving almost a hundred thick tentacles!
Countless phantoms of gods and devils surged toward him from all directions and fused into his body.
Every time he absorbed an illusionary image of a deity, his soul would grow a little bit stronger. His tentacles would grow a lot stronger, too, with dense sucking discs, venomous fangs, thorns, and barbs. Many of the front ends of the tentacles even split open like blossoming chrysanthemums, making them look like bloody mouths.
The divine soul of a purple octopus that was over ten thousand meters tall!
A golden winged Divine Soul that was several thousand meters tall!
With the universe as a battlefield, the stars as weapons, and the galaxy as sabers and longswords, their roars and roars turned into nebula storms!
"Even if there are still Cultivators in the Tian Yuan Realm, they are nothing more than fish that have escaped the Imperium's saber. No matter how many ants there are, they are nothing more than mantises trying to stop a chariot!"
The star child roared furiously. Hundreds of tentacles extended endlessly. They dragged the debris of the crystal warships from all directions over again and kneaded and squeezed them into highly unstable crystal bombs that contained highly-compressed spiritual energy. Then, he threw the "starship bombs" at Li Yao brutally!
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
Li Yao was engulfed by countless destructive fireballs, but it only took him 0.01 seconds to break through the sea of flames. He sprinted, his spirit releasing thousands of threads. All the debris of the crystal warships nearby was attracted to him and compressed into enormous feathers. Each feather was dozens of meters long, with delicate spiritual stripes on the surface. Spiritual fire was dancing around them, making them look like golden scales.
"Bang!"
The two unparalleled souls of Li Yao and the star child collided head-on!
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Hundreds of purple tentacles wrapped tightly around Li Yao's spikes and barbs. It caused him to feel a heart-wrenching pain, and the suckers were madly absorbing the power of his soul!
Li Yao gritted his teeth, unable to break free for a moment.
The star child burst into laughter, but his laughter was soon disrupted by a storm of debris. His octopus face was full of bumps and hollows.
It was Luoxingzi and his companions!
The souls of the six Yuanying Cultivators expanded to almost a thousand meters long, too, as they launched attacks at the raging octopus monster!
"Li Yao, we're here!"
"Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector and the Heaven's Origin Sector are fighting side by side in the dark forest. Let's fight our way out! "
When the Yuanying Cultivators were infuriated, the world was overturned. The entire mind palace was shaking violently. Cracks appeared at the end of the deep sea of stars. The cracks expanded rapidly like spider webs. The background was peeled off one piece after another, revealing the gray chaos!
Li Yao's eyes were burning. His feathers danced and cut the star child's tentacles brutally like tens of thousands of gold daggers. They were tearing his body apart.
"You forced me to do this!"
The star child was infuriated. His soul was expanding rapidly beyond his control. More tentacles protruded out of his round body, making him even more hideous and hideous.
"I was planning to spare your lives to stabilize the situation in the Flying Star Sector and contribute to the cause of the Imperium!
"But since you are so stubborn, I have no choice but to destroy your souls!"
Luo Xingzi sucked in a breath of cold air. "How is this possible? His soul is still expanding. Could it be that he hasn't been using his full strength all this while?"
"This is the last bit of his strength!"
Li Yao shouted. "He must've stopped the control of most of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers and the space gate and devoted all his computational ability to the mind palace!"
"As long as we survive this wave, he will be doomed!"
The star child grinned hideously. His thousand tentacles entangled him like vipers and aimed at the seven of them at the same time. Thousands of bloody mouths slowly appeared on his tentacles.
"Li Yao, you are truly smart!"
"However, can you survive this wave?"
…
At the edge of the Spider Den Space Zone in reality …
The star beacons on the space gates that were arranged in the shape of diamonds were being illuminated one after another. They were flashing in a certain mysterious pattern. The invisible brilliance was sending feeble messages to billions of lightyears away through the four-dimensional space.
Seventy percent of the star beacons had been illuminated. The flashing mystic rays would soon form a complete pattern that would send out the precise coordinates of the Flying Star Sector.
But it came to an abrupt halt at the critical moment.
In the meantime, in Heavenly Saints City, most of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers were under the control of the star child as they attacked the meeting hall and the important magical equipment warehouses.
But at the same time, the star child was weirdly quiet for the second time and entered the standby state.
All that was left were countless Cultivators who were panting in fear and confused.
The star child temporarily abandoned the control of the space gates and most of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers, leaving only a small part of them to protect his real body.
As a result, he would be able to concentrate most of his computational ability to suppress Li Yao and the rest of them!
Inside the control room of the star brain …
The real bodies of Li Yao and the other Cultivators were floating inside the unpredictable gold brain under the guidance of an invisible force. Their limbs were dangling helplessly, as if they had fallen into a deep coma. Only their limbs were cramping now and then, indicating that they were still alive.
The computation rune arrays and processing chips that looked like skyscrapers nearby were all emitting rapid redness. The cooling rune arrays were functioning at a high speed, too, spurting out a tremendous amount of icy mist in hissing noises.
Even so, some of the rune arrays were still exploding now and then.
The star brain had reached its limits, too.
At this moment … In an inconspicuous corner of the 'skyscraper', five clusters of round, fat liquid metal were lurking. Ripples were spreading out on their surface. They were exchanging information in a very clandestine way.
"What's going on? The external defense of the star brain has been weakened by 95%?"
"Most of the defense barriers have failed!"
"Also, most of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers guarding it have entered the standby state. The gate is wide open!"
"Is it a trap?"
Professor Mo Xuan made the final decision. "There's no time to hesitate now. The opportunity will not come again. Let's launch the invasion immediately! "
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
The five clusters of liquid metal snuck into the star brain like pervasive mercury, found the most critical computation rune arrays and processing chips, and swallowed and sabotaged them!
"Hiss. Such abundant computational ability. It's like a sumptuous meal!"
"Wow. I've never seen such a structure and spiritual stripes on the processing chips before. They are far beyond the level of the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Flying Star Sector. Let's swallow them quickly so that we can simulate the same chips in a virtual way in the future! "
"Damn it. If the few rune arrays can't be swallowed, let's just destroy them!"
The five star spirits were like rats that had fallen into a tank of rice. They were galloping unstoppably. They were having a feast!
…
Inside the mind palace deep inside the star brain …
The enormous soul of the star child completely suppressed the seven Cultivators. Thousands of tentacles. Thousands of tentacles surrounded the souls of the seven Cultivators like vipers and thorns. The sucking discs absorbed the soul power of the seven Cultivators nonstop, while the venomous fangs injected their infinite fear into the depths of their souls.
"Too strong. His real body is the 'star brain', which is the most powerful super crystal processor of the Flying Star Sector. The active power rune arrays on Heavenly Phantom are providing incessant support of spiritual energy. We are no match for him! "
"Don't waver. He won't be able to resist such a consumption for long. Now, let's see who is more tenacious!"
"Ahhh!"
The souls of the seven Cultivators were on the verge of collapse under the savaging of the star child!
"Hahahahaha!"
The star child laughed crazily. "Do you regret it now? It's too late!
"No. I will not let you be obliterated. That will be too easy for you!
"I will keep part of your consciousness and let you see the end of the Flying Star Sector with your own eyes. You will see the entire Flying Star Sector turn into an ocean of fire and everybody end up as the humblest slaves and test subjects of the Imperium!
"Right. The Tian Yuan Realm, too! Tens of billions of people? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Excellent. You will be the best fuel for the fire of the civilization of mankind! "
Countless illusions were popping up behind the star child's back. They were all scenes where ordinary people were mining on resource planets with harsh environments or being tortured to death while testing new Cultivation arts and techniques in laboratories.
The six Yuanying Cultivators gnashed their teeth in fury. Disturbed by the miserable scenes, their souls were shaking again.
Li Yao was the only one who was emotionless. His eyes were cold. Even the blood in the deepest part of his eyes was almost frozen into a cluster of red crystals.
He was waiting. Waiting for the last opportunity.
"You can be as arrogant as you want. It's true that I am no match for you.
"But I'm not fighting alone!"
"I believe that Professor Mo Xuan and the rest of them must be fighting side by side with me in a different way!
"Hang in there. Don't give up. A miracle will happen!"
Under the suppression of the star child, Li Yao's soul was more and more lackluster. The edge of his every wing was covered in a layer of black venom.
The other six Yuanying Cultivators struggled to hold on. Other than grunting, they could barely make any sound.
The star child's hideous laughter was more and more ear-splitting. It replaced the drumming deep inside Li Yao's soul and became the only sound in the universe.
Suddenly —
The star child's hideous laughter came to an abrupt halt. It was replaced by a surprised exclamation.
Five enormous' lumps' suddenly protruded out of his body. They were wriggling and moving, as if five 'things' were about to break out of his body!
Chi!
Finally, the five 'lumps' all exploded. Five fat, golden silkworms crawled out of his body and quickly devoured his soul and computational ability as if they were chewing leaves!
They were the forms that Mo Xuan and the other star spirits assumed in the mind maze! (To be continued.)
