Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

They were two sides of the same coin. In the battle against the Fuxis just now, in order to perform the ultimate skill ‘Earth Shock Wave’, their souls had been drained together.

However, in order to fool Lu Qingchen, the mental devil still swallowed a lot of meaningless data while Li Yao was dealing with Lu Qingchen. It then packed the data layer by layer, compressed it, and pretended that it had a strong soul. It even played a trick on Li Yao, trying to scare Lu Qingchen away.

To be honest, for a moment, Lu Qingchen’s defense was indeed on the verge of collapse. He was almost fooled by their bluff.

If it were an opponent that Lu Qingchen did not know or had a good reputation, he might have been fooled and run away.

However, since his opponents were Li Yao and the mental devil, and considering their sordid past and their sordid tricks, Lu Qingchen made up his mind to risk it all.

As he expected, he had seen through Li Yao and the mental devil.

Li Yao and the mental devil could not be blamed for their poor acting skills. They could only blame themselves for using the same trick too many times and leaving a solid impression.

In the last battle of the federation, they had performed similar tricks in front of Lu Qingchen and Mo Xuan, which gave Lu Qingchen a deep understanding of their character.

Lu Qingchen’s smile was more and more scornful and scornful, with a hideous look on his face.

Li Yao and the mental devil looked at each other and swallowed at the same time.

“Like I said, it won’t work. It is just a waste of time!”

‘The mental devil was crying miserably.

“Who says it won’t work? It’s obvious that your acting skills are too exaggerated, alright? Why do you always have to play the role of an arrogant, despotic, and incomparably evil devil? Why do you have to make a bloody mouth that is full of fangs? Of course, people won’t believe such an exaggerated and

imaginative appearance!”

Li Yao could not help but complain.

“am I exaggerating? Are you kidding me? My acting skills are absolutely superb. You must’ve given yourself away. When you screamed in my mouth, it was as fake as it could get. Do you know how much I wanted to laugh? You should reflect on your own acting skills before you blame me!”

The mental devil mocked back.

“What’s wrong with my acting skills? Let me tell you, I, Vulture Li Yao, have roamed the sea of stars for a hundred years. I’ve fought all over the universe, and I’ve never met a match. I rely solely on my acting skills to make a living! You can insult my strength, you can even insult my personality, but you

absolutely can’t insult my acting skills! Also, when it comes to laughter, what’s the meaning of your ‘hehehehehehe’ laughter? Yes, there’s an idiom called ‘hehehehehehehe’, but ‘hehehehehehe’ doesn’t equate to letting out a strange laughter like ‘hehehehehehe’. Do you see any normal person laughing like

‘hehehehehe’? Just hearing this kind of laughter is very out of character. You can see through the essence of your hypocrisy in a flash!”

The more Li Yao spoke, the angrier he became.

“So, you are trying to push all the blame to me now? You were the one who insisted that I demonstrate the aura of the “Tyrant of the Dark Universe’ and that I should be a hundred times more evil than him so that he would realize the consequences of his impulsiveness and feel deeply regretful! If I didn’t

laugh in such a way, would I have laughed in such a way? What kind of ‘Tyrant of the Dark Universe’ is that?”

The mental devil was roaring more and more furiously, too.

“I did ask you to be a bit evil, but I didn’t ask you to be so exaggerated. Don’t tell me that you can’t even accurately grasp the subtle difference between the two. If you need me to teach you how to grin hideously, then what’s the point of having you? Also, in the end, why did you rush over so quickly? You

didn’t even give him a few seconds to think before you rushed over in a hurry to swallow him. Then, he would have acted out of reflex and instinct. Of course, he would have taken action to defend himself! If you were a bit slower and gave him a few seconds to think, maybe he would have reacted and run

away with his tail between his legs? What a useless thing!”

Li Yao gnashed his teeth in hatred.

“Are you kidding me? I risked my life for you and risked my life for him. He stabbed me dozens of times just now. How can you say such things to me right now? Alright. Since you are so dissatisfied with me, let’s break up. We might even have a life-and-death battle. Even if I am going to be completely

destroyed by him in one minute, I will kill you first, you ungrateful bastard!”

The mental devil shrieked.

“Come on then. I’ve been meaning to eliminate you for a long time, too. Come on. I’ll count to three. Let’s do it together. Whoever doesn’t do it is a coward!”

Li Yao roared.

“Alright, then let’s fight to the death. Nephew Lu, don’t stop me. The matter between us can be settled later. Everything can wait until 1 kill this scumbag!”

The mental devil was more than infuriated. No. It was more like a furious whip.

For a moment, the two earthworms had expanded into giant boas. Their flagella were shivering at a high speed, as if they were covered in propellers.

Li Yao and the mental devil glared at each other. Taking a deep breath, Li Yao bellowed almost simultaneously, “Three!”

The moment the word ‘three’ left his mouth, the two earthworms turned into two streaks of gold and red and dashed out.

However, it was not aimed at each other but in two completely different directions.

Li Yao grabbed Xiao Ming, while the mental devil picked up Wen Wen. The rapidly-revolving ‘whip propeller’ boosted their speed to the maximum, pushing them to the edge of the ocean of data in 0.1 seconds.

But right then.

‘The two dazzling auras seemed to have foreseen that they would run away. They had been waiting at the edge of the ocean of data for a long time.

At this moment, he slashed at the two earthworms brutally, forcing them to retreat in embarrassment.

One slash after another, the aura of the saber was like a series of thunderbolts, forcing the two earthworms back to Lu Qingchen.

Li Yao, the mental devil, and Lu Qingchen looked at each other in bewilderment. There was nothing but dead silence and awkwardness.

The expression on Lu Qingchen’s face was not so much one of self-satisfaction as one of embarrassment for Li Yao and even for himself, who had worshipped Li Yao a hundred years ago.

Li Yao, whose flagella had all been cut off, didn’t know what to say, either. He could only cough dryly and shamelessly said, “Qingchen, listen to me slowly explain. Actually, the whole thing is not what you think it is. I didn’t mean to trick you. I just wanted to use this harmless interlude to tell you some of

the principles of being a human being—we really can’t control everything. Look, didn’t I not control it well and mess things up?

“The acting is false, but the logic is true. Don’t be entangled by your own dark side. Otherwise, you will end up like me right now. You will be burdened by this mental devil and can’t get rid of it no matter what. How miserable!”

“Don’t listen to him, Mr. Lu. He is trying to trick you so that he can run away and find his wife to beat you up!”

The mental devil shouted, “Even I had to deceive you against my conscience because of his tyranny. But now, I’ve thought it through. Really. I’ve thought it through. Joining hands with you is not a bad idea. With my wisdom and your combat ability, who else in the entire Pangu Universe is a match for us?

Hehehehe. Don’t you agree?”

“Qingchen….”

Li Yao said.

“Nephew Lu…”

The mental devil said.

Several veins on the temples of the giant of light that Lu Qingchen had turned into seemed to be broken instantly.

“You are a disgrace to the federation. Let me send you to the deepest level of hell so that you won’t keep embarrassing yourself!”

Lu Qingchen screamed hysterically with all his strength. All the laws of the data ocean turned into lightning that wreathed his fists. His heavy fists were like tornadoes that were carrying countless sharp blades. They were aimed at Li Yao and the mental devil, only to engulf the two of them.

Even when he was faced with the Fuxis, Lu Qingchen had never been so furious. He was so furious that he did not care whether or not he could digest the Fuxis perfectly. He was determined to beat Li Yao into a pulp.

Tm screwed!

Li Yao and the mental devil exclaimed at the same time. This time, they did not have any trump cards. They could only watch the apocalyptic tornado grow larger and closer.

Of course, even just now, the two of them were not trump cards at all. They were merely stalling for time, hoping to buy more time

Right when the tornado that was full of sabers and swords was about to tear Li Yao and the mental devil apart, an earsplitting explosion suddenly echoed above their heads, as if a burning meteor had fallen into the ocean and almost emptied half of the data space. The immense blast seemed to be piercing

through the entire virtual world!

As the blast spread out, the entire ocean of data was burning, The seawater turned into magma, which was boiling and exploding nonstop.

An unexpected stream of super-compressed data hit Lu Qingchen’s tornado precisely like a black meteorite and blew it into pieces.

Then, the meteoroid stopped right in front of Li Yao and the mental devil and helped them resist the attack of the giant of light.

Accompanied by an earsplitting noise that sounded like a functioning machine, the black meteorite gradually unfolded and turned into a magnificent iron giant covered in dense, complicated runes. The features of the runes were different from those of all the runes in the history of the Pangu Universe.

They seemed to be from… a different universe!

“This is—”

Looking at his broken and slowly recovering right arm, Lu Qingchen stared at his new opponent in disbelief.

Scanning the database of himself and the Fuxi Clan, he could not find the files of such a strong enemy.

“Punching King, save me!”

Li Yao and the mental devil were crying tears of joy. The person they had been waiting for was finally here.. Except for Fuxi, Xiao Ming, and Wen Wen, the last powerful information life-form in the Pangu Universe!
