Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

The four experts triggered their respective fields at the same time. Like four super-massive and dense planets, they formed their own gravity rings and magnetic fields and absorbed all the cosmic scraps nearby, igniting the Heavenly Fire of Prairie Fire in the high-speed friction.

Under the burning flames of spiritual energy, the shadow that was less than two meters tall had expanded to dozens of meters or even hundreds of meters tall. It was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

Ding Lingdang had really turned into a furious tyrannosaur. She stomped on the rings, tore apart the stars, and roared at the universe. Yan Liren, on the other hand, turned into a shadow of a sword and split into hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of sword nets that eclipsed the entire ring.

Li Linghai, on the other hand, turned into a nine-headed purple dragon that was wagging its tail, like a giant sea demon that had jumped out of an abyss.

Needless to say about Li Jialing, the golden lion had a pair of wings on its ribs, which had been fully grown and was roaring earsplittingly.

The four experts were engaged in a fierce battle. For a moment, sand and stones were flying everywhere. The sun and the moon were eclipsed. Ripples spread out in the vacuum unbelievably like surging tides.

In terms of combat ability, Li Jialing was no match for Ding Lingdang, and neither was Li Linghai. However, the territory of the emperor and the empress had a shocking resonance. The cooperation of the nine-headed purple dragon and the golden lion was flawless, and the territory was gradually melding into one. It was like a fire that was burning more furiously than ever.

Ding Lingdang and Yan Liren, on the other hand, were the kind of people who liked to fight alone. When they were engaged in a fierce battle, they did not even care about their companions.

Honestly speaking, even Ding Lingdang’s cooperation with Li Yao wasn’t that exquisite. She felt that Li Yao standing next to her was getting in the way and would hinder her from performing to her heart’s content, let alone Yan Liren.

The domains of the two teammates on the same side, on the other hand, were incompatible. They were like a cluster of frost, a cluster of flames. They touched, interfered, and blocked each other, melting each other with hissing noises. They were caught unprepared by the seamless cooperation of Li Linghai and Li Jialing.

BOOM!

The outcome of a match between two experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage could be determined in the blink of an eye. When Ding Lingdang punched her opponent again, Yan Lili jumped to the edge of her fist and tried to catch up with her. As a result, Li Jialing saw through her trick and lunged forward, sneaking between him and Ding Lingdang even faster than Yan Lili did.

Ding Lingdang’s vision, senses, and attention were all distracted by Yan Liren and his sword aura. She neglected Li Jialing’s attack and was blown thousands of meters away by the little emperor’s kick, blowing a giant meteorite dozens of meters in diameter into pieces.

“Interesting!”

Under the bombardment of Li Jialing’s cannon and the explosion of the giant meteoroid behind her, Ding Lingdang did not even cough up any blood. Her lips curled into an excited smile, and she was about to lunge forward again, when three Exos blocked her way.

The three Exos…

They were all wearing the best crystal suits of the Imperium of True Human Beings, which were glittering and translucent like statues of deities.

Only the top experts at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage or even the beginning level of the Divinity Transformation Stage could boast such power.

“Fellow Cultivator Ding, I am from the Crimson Tiger Sector—”

The three experts of the Star Ocean Imperium all bowed to Ding Lingdang and paid their respect to the ‘Red Fire Dragon King’ according to the rule of the strong are respected’.

“Whoever you are, let’s fight!”

Ding Lingdang had been triggered by Yan Liren’s interference and Li Jialing’s kick. The collision just now had torn her facial cover, too. In her craziness, she simply tore off her broken facial cover and allowed her burning red hair to be exposed to the cold vacuum, as well as her bloodshot eyes that looked like a volcanic eruption.

At this moment, the halo happened to be facing the sun.

Without the protection of the atmosphere, the brightness and heat of the star immediately heated the ring to hundreds of degrees, making it look like invisible magma.

Ding Lingdang’s hair and face were exposed to the vacuum and the radiation of the star without any defense. The flames spurting out of her pores formed a dense spiritual shield around her. Her long hair was dancing crazily even though there was no wind.

Before the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator of the Star Ocean Imperium in front of her finished his introduction, she had already charged at him like a hungry tyrannosaur. When he said ‘Red Tiger Sector’, Ding Lingdang’s leg, the tusk of the tyrannosaur, hit his waist precisely.

Pa!

The voice echoed inside the enemy’s spine and brain through his crystal suit, skin, muscles, and bones.

Unimaginable damage burst out. The crystal suit of the expert of the Star Ocean Imperium was blown apart by Ding Lingdang’s kick! “Well” The other two experts of the Star Ocean Imperium were both shocked and fascinated. Although they were all dominating experts, they had been raised by the modern Cultivation system and were used to the support of high-precision magical equipment. The crystal suits were like their second skin. They were not used to fighting in an environment without crystal suits at all. They had never dreamed that the flesh and blood of human beings could boast such primitive and barbaric strength!

Their surprise lasted only 0.1 seconds before it was snatched away by a dazzling aura.

Without Ding Lingdang’s interference, Yan Liren finally entered the rhythm that he was best at and most obsessed about. He waved the deadliest fourth sword.

Whether or not they could cut off the perfect cooperation between Li Jialing and Li Linghai was debatable, but at the very least, it was a brutal strike to the hearts of many experts of the Star Ocean Imperium, who were all soaked in cold sweat.

It was indeed a killing spree.

Other than the real top experts such as Ding Lingdang, Yan Liren, Li Jialing, and Li Linghai, the hundreds of other experts had also found their opponents and started fighting.

Including the special life forms such as Xiao Ming, Wen Wen, Fist King, Meng Chixin, and Wu Suiyun.

Compared to Ding Lingdang’s simple and brutal melee combat, the battles of the puppeteers were much more interesting and varied.

The battles of the legions of almost a hundred spiritual puppets were just the basics. While they were fighting, the chests of the puppets on one side would split open, and smaller metal hummingbirds, spiders, or automatic flying swords would rush out, while the puppets on the other side would be connected from head to tail and form an even larger Titan. Both sides were quite adept at such tricks.

In the competition of data, calculation, and control, Wen Wen was the first to be defeated.

After all, she was more interested in administration, research, and administration and not battlefield warfare. In other words, her database and underlying logic were more suitable for long-term, moderate-intensity operations instead of short-term, super-intensity outbursts.

However, Xiao Ming never got tired of it. The more he fought, the braver he became. He took over the control of more than ten spiritual puppets from Wenwen and fought a fierce battle against Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun. The two spectral Cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Stage from the ‘ancient times’ were both amazed and thought that it was necessary to talk more about the Great Dao in the future.

“Two seniors, don’t chase after a child. Come and try my iron fist!” The boxing champion laughed and joined the battle.

The two spectral Cultivators, who had been meaning to ‘teach’ Xiao Ming a lesson, suddenly felt that the pressure was much higher than before. An iron wall weighing a hundred thousand tons seemed to be crushing down on them, making them unable to fight back at all.

The Fist King, an information life-form whose origin was in the magical universe and whose soul was ignited by Li Yao during the collapse of the Hellish Land, was finally awakened in the battle to devour the data pieces of the Fuxis. He finally displayed his most furious combat ability and ranked among the top experts!

Hundreds of experts were fighting to their heart’s content. The real capability of their current enemy had been tested, too. After a few short confrontations, they reached a tacit understanding and passed by each other, looking for more opponents for the next round of confrontation.

For a moment, hundreds of experts were engaged in a melee. There was no distinction between camps and forces anymore. It was not unusual for the strongest of them to be attacked by three to five people or even seven to eight people at the same time. If one wanted to wear the crown, one had to bear the brunt of the attacks first. If one wanted to give orders during an exploration operation, one naturally had to beat them into submission first!

However, there were several anomalies in the scorching battlefield.

For example, Boss Bai and Long Yangjun, who were known as heroes in their own sect, had been concealing their scent and traces carefully. They had been lurking in the shadows of the meteoroids and patrolling. There had been no battle at all. They seemed to be looking for something.

Concealment was also a skill.

In such a chaotic battle where everybody’s eyes were bloodshot, it was evident enough that Long Yangjun and Boss Bai had surpassed the top experts and marched into the temple of unparalleled experts without being discovered for more than twenty minutes.

However…

“It doesn’t make sense. Where is the guy hiding? I saw him just now!”

Long Yangjun was secretly surprised. He should’ve been the target of everyone’s attention the moment he showed up. Why did everybody ignore him as if he had completely vanished?

“It’s an illusion. The most brilliant mental attack!”

Boss Bai pondered for a moment and said, “You’re right. With the guy’s capability, identity, influence, personality, and hatred, he would’ve been beaten up by everybody the moment he showed up. It would’ve been useless no matter where he hid himself. But right now, everybody seems to have forgotten him. It’s not just because of his excellent stealth skills, but also because he launched the sharpest mental attack long ago, which affected everybody and made everybody ignore him!

“Fair enough!”

Long Yangjun’s heart skipped a beat. His head was suddenly clear again. He scanned every meteoroid within dozens of square kilometers carefully with his eyes that were mixed with electric arcs. His pupils constricted violently, as he had expected.

“Wow, Li Yao, you are too shameless!” Long Yangjun burst into fury. “This is the final training before we set off. It is also the ‘Battle of Glory’ between the experts of the Star Glory Federation, the Star Glory Federation, and the Star Glory Federation. We have a tacit understanding. The Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators wear crystal suits, the ordinary Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators wear soft armor, and the real super experts only wear mustard-seed suits. As a result, you, the only old monster in the field who is in a trance, are wearing such a thick crystal suit and hiding in the hollow of a meteoroid wretchedly by activating the stealth and camouflage techniques? Do you have any shame?”
