Li Yao kept some of the facts to himself. He didn't want the Fire Ant to think that he was a crazy guy.
The reason why he carried the cannonball of the main cannon of the heavy crystal warship, which had been modified by him, was not only to play with it in his spare time, but also so that he could take it out and die together with the enemy when he was desperate.
This was a good habit that Li Yao had developed when he was still in the Refinement Stage. At that time, on the battlefield, he liked to carry a box full of Hellfire-Lightnings and walk back and forth. It was by relying on a box full of Hellfire-Lightnings that he was able to kill a monster above his level for the first time in his life, a Demon General Level Six-Armed Naga.
Now that his Cultivation had improved, the level of the 'glorious cannonball' had naturally improved, too.
As it happened, the cannonball couldn't have been more suitable to pry open the 'tin can' that was hidden deep below the ground.
However, the normal way to use a "cannonball" was to be fired from the main cannon. Without enough acceleration, it would not be able to exert much destructive power.
If Li Yao had placed the black, long, and thick cannonball here and detonated it with simple rune arrays, the best that could be done was to blow this floor into smithereens. There was no way that the nineteen floors under the protection of multiple defense rune arrays would be affected.
It was the key reason why Li Yao needed the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle'!
The 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle' boasted the most perfect restraint rune arrays in the entire Tian Yuan Realm. Perhaps' Solar Eclipse 'Jiang Shaoyang had spent an entire year polishing them carefully.
Both the demon emperor and the Yuanying were monsters with strong vitality. Even if a crystal bomb exploded in their chests, they might not be completely killed.
Because the damage would spread out in all directions, only a fraction of the damage would really hit them.
But with the restraint rune arrays and the restriction of the spiritual energy magnetic field, all the damage would be concentrated. Only by concentrating all the damage on a tiny point could the damage be directed to the Yuanying or the demon emperor.
To put it simply … The restraint rune arrays could be imagined as an invisible membrane of magnetic field. Once the explosion occurred, all the energy would surge, destroy, and annihilate within the range of the membrane. As for those standing outside the membrane, no matter how close they were, they would not be harmed at all.
In this way, it was guaranteed that the target in the restriction array glyphs would be killed accurately without causing damage to a larger area.
This was exactly what Li Yao needed right now.
Li Yao was preparing to go through a series of modifications. He slightly changed the form of Jiang Shaoyang's restriction rune array and tore a hole downward, which looked like an invisible but solid bell, and covered the entire cannonball. Then, he used the dozens of crystal bombs that he had refined himself as the power source.
After the crystal bombs exploded, because of the restriction rune arrays, most of the energy had nowhere to be released and could only bombard the ground.
When they pushed the cannonball and penetrated more than ten floors of the building. The cannonballs were fired again. All the spiritual energy was blown out and penetrated the turtle shell outside the control center!
In a word. Now, Li Yao was going to refine a special set of "turrets and barrels" for this cannonball!
"Ka! Crack! Crack! "
Li Yao's expression became serious again. His knuckles emitted the sound of gears biting. Along with the flickering of a cosmos ring on his little finger, a pair of gloves made of crisscrossing flexible crystal tubes appeared on his hands. Green liquid was faintly flowing inside the crystal tubes. The crystal tubes extended all the way to his shoulders. It covered his arms from his shoulders to his shoulders like a pair of futuristic fluorescent gauntlets.
These were the Ice Spirit Gloves. The liquid inside the crystal tubes was Ice Spirit Chalcedony, which was a kind of magical substance no matter how high the temperature was. They were all mystical substances that could steadily release chills, using the principle of water cooling to lower the temperature of the hands.
Li Yao did not like to use the Ice Spirit Gloves. He thought that it would reduce the perception of his hands. However, when his hand speed soared to the limit, the heat generated by the friction with the air could easily interfere with the magical equipment being assembled. In desperation, he could only pinch his nose and endure the slight obstruction.
"Shua!"
The light beams triggered by the mini crystal processors increased to more than a hundred and fifty in the blink of an eye, almost occupying the entire torture chamber.
On the more than 150 light beams, various structural designs were jumping at a rate of one every three seconds.
The components floating around Li Yao were like ice cubes in a pot of hot oil. They suddenly exploded and danced crazily!
Craziness, craziness, and extreme craziness!
Li Yao's face changed from intoxication to bloodshot eyes, to gnashing his teeth and smashing the components into the heavy cannonball like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep.
The strength was so great that the Fire Ant felt that his blood was freezing. There was no telling whether or not the cannonball would explode right here in the next second!
"Is … is he really a Cultivator? Is he not a demon emperor in disguise? "The Fire Ant asked himself again.
Three minutes later!
Li Yao's surroundings were clean. The last component had been embedded into the joint of two units perfectly, like the last piece of a puzzle that had been filled in.
What a wild and violent 'puzzle' it was!
It was like the vertical launcher of a crystal warship had been turned upside down. The cannonball was half a meter away from the ground and fixed by messy frames.
The utterly deformed Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle was lying at the tail of the cannonball. Its shell had been completely opened and connected to the cannonball by hundreds of crystal threads.
In order to give the cannonball enough initial velocity, Li Yao had deployed a circle of crystal bombs on the ground below the cannonball. When the drilling system was activated, the circle of crystal bombs would blow through the floor first, giving the cannonball a distance of more than ten meters.
"Done!"
Li Yao tore off the Ice Spirit Glove that was about to be burnt and looked at his work in satisfaction.
With the crystal camera on his mini crystal processor, he took a picture of the combined magical equipment.
"After I return to the Xing Yao Federation where there is the Spiritual Nexus, I'll send the picture to Jiang Shaoyang and let him know that the magical equipment he refined can be used in such a way. He will be very excited!"
Li Yao thought to himself.
The Fire Ant opened his mouth, wondering whether or not he should tell his new ally that the magical equipment he refined really looked like a giant pile of cow dung.
However, when Li Yao tapped the light beam softly and activated the drilling system, dangerous crimson mystic rays beamed out of the overlapping frames and tubes, adding a layer of coldness to the pile of 'cow dung'. It was full of a weird, violent beauty.
Li Yao glanced at the Fire Ant and discovered that the wounds on the Fire Ant's body had all healed. "Fire Ant, how much of your strength has been recovered?"
The Fire Ant sniffed. Perhaps because of the series of shocks just now, he felt that his aura was somewhat suppressed. At this moment, his weird eyes were bulging, and croaking sounds were echoing deep inside his throat. His withered limbs and torso expanded again, and his mitochondria were burning crazily. Demonic energy surged out and twisted the air around into colorful swirls!
"He!"
The Fire Ant bellowed. More than ten swirls of air crashed into him, enshrouding him in an intimidating mist.
By the time the mist dispersed, the leader of the Blade of Chaos that appeared in front of Li Yao had assumed a brand-new form!
He was much shorter than the Fire Ant in the past. Most of the previously unbelievable crimson ant shell had retreated into his body. The critical parts such as his shoulders, chest, arms, abdomen, and crotch had turned into crimson armor that had been melted with his flesh and blood.
But the two antennae on his forehead were longer and longer, and they were shivering slightly.
He was even more handsome than before. Other than his crimson skin, he was no different from a transcendent human expert.
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
The Fire Ant seemed to have not moved at all, but streaks of brightness that tore apart the air appeared in front of him. He shook off the wet tissue fluids that were secreted by the crazy changes of the cells on his body. His smile was full of hatred, making him look somewhat hideous.
"I chose to activate my potential with the strengthening drug. After exhausting a lot of my vitality, I finally swallowed all the poison, venom, and barriers that Elder Nether Spring set up. I even stimulated my cells with his poison and received even greater strength!
"The price is that I will be depressed for a long time after the battle. However, there is no time to worry about that now!
"Right now, I have regained the level of a demon emperor. At the very least, I can persist until I get out of this place!
"Nether Spring, since the whole thing started when the two of us discovered the residence of God Chaos together years ago, let's settle everything once and for all!"
Li Yao sighed. "Before today, I never thought that I would be fighting side by side with a demon emperor. Let's go!"
The Fire Ant was dazed. "Where are we going?"
"To hide for a while, of course."
Li Yao blinked. "Does the Fire Ant want to stay here and watch the cannonballs explode?"
The door of the interrogation chamber was opened again.
Li Yao and the Fire Ant did not disguise themselves at all. They swaggered out and walked to the diagonal of the entire floor.
It was exactly because of their unusual appearance, their intimidating aura, and their arrogance that many soldiers of the Nether World Watch nearby felt that they were in a dream. They watched them walk past and did not know how to react for a long time.
"Has — has the Fire Ant escaped?"
"Is — is it possible? Did something go wrong …? "
Li Yao and the Fire Ant talked to each other in a low voice while they were roaming in the courtyard.
"Counting down," Li Yao said. "Eight, seven, six …"
"It seems that you are more inclined to the arts of refining, fellow Cultivator," the Fire Ant said. "You must be very careful when we are down there. If there are any tricky enemies, just leave them to me!"
"Four … three … crap!" Li Yao said.
"What's wrong now?" the Fire Ant asked.
