Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“This—this is impossible!”

Li Yao opened his eyes and watched the tentacles surging out of the body of the soldier of the Pangu Clan entangling his limbs and torso. Then, after a series of disgusting wriggling, they expanded into new muscles, nerves, and veins, making his body expand by almost ten times until he was almost fifty meters tall!

As it turned out, all the ferocious beasts attacking the City of Silver were mutations of the Pangu Clan, the Nuwa Clan, or the other carbon-based intelligent species of the Pangu Civilization.

However, such a mutation was too appalling. From a height of more than ten meters to more than a hundred meters, its mass had increased by thousands of tons or even ten thousand tons. Where did such an enormous mass come from in such a short time?

It was true that energy could be transformed into mass, but there was a limit and a source. Were there tiny wormholes inside the bodies of the ferocious beasts that allowed them to retrieve energy from the unknown space?

No matter how Li Yao questioned them, the facts were right in front of his eyes. The ferocious beasts must’ve grasped some incredible ‘mass-energy conversion technique’ in order to complete the fall from civilization to barbarism within several seconds!

“Hooooo!”

The mutated beasts roared earsplittingly and waved their tails, which were full of thorns and spurs, at their comrades a moment ago. Several warriors of the Pangu Clan were blown away and smashed into the skyscrapers.

More ferocious beasts crowded in through the breach. The silver guards were immediately routed.

Dragging such a heavy and clumsy body would consume a lot of energy, which would be a great burden for the body. Therefore, many ferocious beasts often collapsed when they were fighting, just like the dinosaurs and wild Pangu Clan that Li Yao had seen outside.

But more guards were corrupted by the mist and turned into new beasts.

It was destined to be a hopeless defense. The only thing that the guards could do was stall for time so that the City of Silver could resist the beast tide for a while longer, only to be savaged even more miserably.

The skyscrapers that were thousands of meters tall collapsed one after another. Dust and smoke mixed together, making them look like the surging tides in a tsunami. The spiritual energy transmission tubes below the street all broke apart. The super-compressed spiritual energy that was spurting out was released rapidly, turning into shocking eccentric flames. The ferocious beasts looked even more hideous and enormous against the mist and the eccentric flames. Their roars and every stomp seemed to be hitting Li Yao’s brain cells brutally, making him feel that he was in a nightmare that he would never wake up from. He did not know how to get rid of them.

“The skyscrapers in the City of Silver are generally more than a thousand meters tall. Judging from the size of the doors and windows, they are not designed for human beings, but for giants more than ten meters tall. Therefore, this is not a city of human beings or the ‘black wall makers’, but one of the Pangu Civilization.

“Why did the Pangu Civilization build such a splendid city in the depths of the ancient tomb? I can’t see the edge of the city at all. It is simply a city of the future. How many people can it accommodate, or can it accommodate all the elites of the Pangu Civilization Alliance?

“What happened to the ferocious beasts that attacked the City of Silver? Fuxi and Long Yangjun both said that a terrifying genetic virus went out of control and mutated, which destroyed the Pangu civilization and the entire primeval era. Is this the effect of the virus?”

“But that can’t be right. If the City of Silver is the laboratory that the Pangu Civilization established in the depths of the ancient tomb, and a certain virus is being tested in this place has gone out of control, chaos should be breaking out from the inside. But the ferocious beasts are clearly pushing inward from the outside. They are enemies from the outside. Who exactly is attacking the cutting-edge laboratory of the Pangu Civilization?”

Li Yao was greatly confused.

Suddenly, his heart twisted violently, and he could not help but shout.

“Ding Lingdang!”

That’s right, it was not his eyes playing tricks on him, nor was it an illusion, nor was it a mental disorder. Li Yao found his wife, Ding Lingdang, in a vivid, immersive picture!

Ding Lingdang was trapped in the City of Silver, which was full of fire and beasts!

She was almost twenty meters tall on the big Fire Dragon Sparrow. But in front of the enormous beasts that were almost a hundred meters tall, she was as small and feeble as a doll. She could only crawl and crawl among the broken walls under the cover of smoke and dust to avoid the death rays of the Pangu Clan and the trampling of the ferocious beasts.

With Ding Lingdangs appearance, more experts of human beings appeared in other pictures, too. Li Yao found Li Jialing, Li Linghai, Long Yangjun, and Boss Bai. They were all struggling in the surging flames of war caused by the collision of the Pangu Clan, the Nuwa Clan, and the ferocious beasts, like animals that were fleeing in fear when two dinosaurs collided.

Li Yao had thought that the siege of the City of Silver had taken place at the end of the primeval era hundreds of thousands of years ago. The war had been settled a long time ago. The ruins of the City of Silver might have decayed a long time ago, too, except that they had been recorded by special magical equipment and played for the latecomers. In many relics of the primeval era, such holograms were quite common.

However, after witnessing a human expert and his crystal suit being stomped into minced meat by a hundred-meter-tall beast that looked like a hybrid of a giant turtle and a gorilla, Li Yao had to change his opinion.

Everything in front of him was real.

The siege of the City of Silver was still on. Right now, right here, and most of the experts of human beings had been involved in it for no reason. They were on the brink of death!

“Ding Lingdang! Ding Lingdang! Ding Lingdang!”

Li Yao’s eyes were bloodshot, and he was roaring crazily, as if he were about to throw the communication magical equipment at the picture.

In the picture, Ding Lingdang was not aware of his arrival at all. She was still moving among the debris and the death rays, trying to find a chance of survival.

“I’m here. I’m here to save you!”

Li Yao activated the power unit of his crystal suit without caring about anything else and tried to crawl into the picture where Ding Lingdang was. But although he accelerated to the maximum speed, the distance between him and the picture was not shortened at all. No matter how hard he tried to touch Ding Lingdang, he could not touch her shadow at all.

It was as if Ding Lingdang and everyone else had been ‘sealed’ in a 3D painting. Even if Li Yao could see and touch them, he would never be able to crawl in.

Was this what the so-called ‘different people and ghosts’ meant?

Where were Ding Lingdang and the rest of them? What were they exactly?

Li Yao’s anxiety and fury almost made his crystal suit explode.

However, the pictures around him were spinning fast, making him lose Ding Lingdang’s coordinates. He was like a small boat that had fallen into a giant space swirl and could only be carried into a random space wrinkle.

No. Maybe it was not random.

“Jiji, Jiji!”

Little Black cried out.

Considering that Little Black came from the depths of the tomb of the Supreme Emperor and that it might have a natural sense of the environment, Li Yao did not put Little Black back into the Cosmos Ring when he entered the black gap. Instead, he asked it to change its shape and hide inside the Cosmos Ring.

Little Black had been silent the whole time. It was resisting the tremendous pressure like Li Yao did.

At this moment, Little Black suddenly exclaimed in excitement. It even leaked out of the gaps of the crystal suit and covered the crystal suit quickly, forming four helical wings on the back of the crystal suit.

When the last gap of the crystal suit was filled by Little Black, Li Yao suddenly felt that he could move freely in the wrinkles of space!

“Little Black…”

Before Li Yao was surprised by Little Black’s new technique, he was deeply attracted by the giant soldier in the picture.

It was—

“Rescuers!”

Li Yao gnashed his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

Yes. He would recognize it even if it was burnt to ashes. The golden giant soldier in the picture in front of him was exactly the ‘savior’ without a cockpit, the giant soldier specially designed for the super artificial intelligence that Lu Qingchen had stolen from him!

When enemies met, their eyes were particularly red.

All the cause and effect had been caused by Lu Qingchen. If he had not been insane enough to risk universal condemnation, Li Yao and the rest of them would not have been so hasty to carry out the exploration of the tomb of the primeval deities, which even led to Ding Lingdang’s failure.

If Ding Lingdang, Long Yangjun, Li Linghai, and the rest of the human experts perished in this place, and the terrifying ferocious beasts broke through the tomb of the Supreme Emperor and spread to the entire Pangu Universe, Lu Qingchen would be the culprit who destroyed the civilization of mankind!

Li Yao felt that it was his own fault that he failed to capture Lu Qingchen in the battle of ‘Ultimate Rescue’.

But this time, he would not make the same mistake again!

Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts flashed across countless pictures, but he could not find Ding Lingdang at all.

Then, let’S finish the mission first and capture Lu Qingchen for questioning, in case the lawless guy caused more trouble.

On the back of Li Yao’s crystal suit, Little Blacks black wings flapped hard, sending out black ripples. He flew toward the picture where Lu Qingchen was.

In the picture, Lu Qingchen was in a sorry state, too. He was fleeing in the middle of the overwhelming tide of ferocious beasts. The magnificent giant soldier was now riddled with holes and covered in dust. There was no hint of the dignity of a ‘Fuxi’ at all. There were no more companions behind him, either. He was alone again.

Li Yao sniffed. After he realized how crazy Lu Qingchen was, he no longer cared whether the guy lived or died.

However, Lu Qingchen could not die yet. The guy still had a lot of data pieces of the Fuxis that Li Yao, the Fist King, Little Ming, and Wen Wen had never grasped. They were also the key to driving Lu Qingchen to explore the ‘Ancient Tomb of the Supreme Emperor—the Divine Tomb— the Black Tomb’!.
