Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“Chi!”

The broken chainsword was deeply embedded into the skull of a ferocious beast that looked like a tyrannosaur. Under the high-speed rotation and cutting of the sharp teeth, the skull, which was harder than alloy, was as soft as tofu. Li Yao slashed it open and extended it to his chest.

After a ‘huala’ sound, the super high pressure inside his abdomen pushed out a lot of his stinky internal organs, which were burnt to ash by the flames of the arsonist. They surrounded the Giant God Soldier and added to Li Yao’s evilness.

Before he could withdraw his broken sword, another ferocious beast attacked the ‘arsonist’ from the flank. The left arm that Li Yao had withdrawn was stabbed into its throat. After a round of bombardment, the stomach of the ferocious beast bulged as if it were pregnant. Very soon, steam thousands of degrees high was released from the wrinkles, indicating that its internal organs had been cooked by Li Yao.

Li Yao stimulated the Cosmos Ring crazily until the teeth of the last piece of melee magical equipment were broken. Then, he simply picked up the dead bodies of the ferocious beasts and smashed them into pieces like a giant hammer.

After moving forward a hundred meters, no ferocious beasts dared to block his way anymore.

Broken bones and minced meat of ferocious beasts were embedded between the feet of the giant soldier.

Of course, such crazy consumption was costly, too.

The ‘Arsonists’ had less than 10% of their fuel and ammunition. After a volley or a sprint, they would run out of supplies.

After a series of fierce battles, the result of the broken plate armor was that the ‘Arsonist’ turned into a skeleton.

Because the structure of the framework far exceeded the limits of metal fatigue, even the skeleton was on the verge of collapse. It was all supported by the soaring flames of Li Yao’s over-exhausted life force. At this moment, the “Arsonist” had almost lost the original appearance of the Giant God Soldier. He had completely turned into the amalgamation of Li Yao’s spirit, will, and his entire life, a burning fire!

Ao! Ao! Ao!

The ferocious beasts nearby all craned their necks and screamed, summoning stronger helpers.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The two skyscrapers in front of them collapsed one after another. The airwaves rose up like a tsunami and blocked the sky and the sun. Even half of the ‘heavenly towers’ were blocked.

A moment later, the tide of dust split apart, revealing another Armored Storm Dragon that was almost a hundred meters tall.

It was a pity that Li Yao didn’t have a second ‘Iron Knight’ with him.

Looking at the enormous, invincible enemy, Li Yao’s belief was as clear as water, as hard as iron, as cold as ice, as hot as fire, and without the slightest impurity.

At this point, there was no way out. Even if the enemy was a hundred times stronger, there was only one way out for him.

And that was… to summon the courage to raise the battle saber high and ruthlessly chop off the head of the hideous and ugly ferocious beast!

Taking a deep breath, Li Yao opened his arms on the back of the ‘Arsonist’. Spiritual flames spread out like tentacles. The broken sabers, broken swords, and battle axes, as well as the rebar of the skyscrapers, the remains of the battle puppets, and the most solid bones among the dead bodies of the ferocious beasts, were all summoned by him. They flew to the sky and gathered toward the ‘Arsonist’. Resonance of Li Yao’s fighting will gathered into two enormous sabers.

The saber, which used to be colorful and full of patches, was now a pure crimson after being cleansed by Li Yao’s crimson flames, as if it had been forged on the surface of a star. “Come on!”

Li Yao crossed his saber in front of his chest and roared at the ‘Armadillo Dragon’.

“Hooooo!”

In the blink of an eye, the Armored Storm Dragon’s neck was three to five times thicker than before. Its originally rough and ugly gray-brown skin had become almost transparent, as if an enormous ball of lightning was bursting forth from its abdomen.

Before the ball of lightning was spurted out of the bloody mouth, Li Yao had already melded with the ‘Arsonist’. He jumped high into the sky and charged at the Armored Storm Dragon’s thunderous mouth. BOOM!

Before the ball of lightning spurted out a mouthful of blood, it was already hit by Li Yao’s crossed sabers. The two clusters of energy that contained the power of destruction broke the restrictive magnetic field and blew up in the mouth of the Armored Storm Dragon.

The ‘Arsonist’ was blown away by the blast and fell to the ground again, leaving a deep pit.

The Armored Storm Dragon’s jaw was blown to pieces. Blood was flowing out of its eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Its brain was seriously shaken, and it was unable to stand steadily like a mountain. It continuously retreated, causing countless buildings to suffer unexpected disasters.

It was obvious that Li Yao’s last-ditch attack had seriously wounded the Armored Storm Dragon. Now that the door was wide open, he could hit the brain directly through its softest throat!

It was a pity that Li Yao had run out of ammunition. He couldn’t even control a flying sword remotely. He could do nothing but watch the Armored Storm Dragon regain balance. Ruthlessness and fear were beaming out of his eyes again.

Li Yao was breathing heavily on one of his knees.

His eyes seemed to be blurred by blood, and he could not see his surroundings clearly. He could only grope around, hoping to find a saber that could still be waved.

The earthquake told him that the Armored Storm Dragon was getting closer and closer.

He finally found a twisted chainsword and shook it. The chains and gears of the chainsword all fell off.

But he did not think too much of it. He condensed new sharp teeth with his own blood and spiritual flames. Then, he raised his giant bloody sword high and aimed at the Armored Storm Dragon’s head, which was riddled with holes.

Then, Li Yao was dazed.

He saw an unbelievable scene.

Gold. The gold that was more brilliant than the sun and more dazzling than a supernova explosion was burning his eyes, shocking his brain, and boiling his blood.

It was a human being, not a giant soldier more than twenty meters tall. A human being more than two meters tall in a crystal suit was standing on the head of the Armored Storm Dragon!

He was on one of his knees. His left hand grasped one of the wrinkles on the head of the Armored Storm Dragon, as if a giant tree had been dug deep into the soil. No matter how hard the Armored Storm Dragon shook its head and struggled, he did not move at all and even dug deeper and deeper.

In the meantime, he opened his right hand and pressed one of the eyes of the Armored Storm Dragon.

Other than the crystal suit, Li Yao did not notice that he had retrieved any magical equipment. Even his movements were extremely gentle, as if he were petting a pet at home, while he pressed the eyes of the Armored Storm Dragon softly.

Sensing Li Yao’s gaze, he even had the leisure to raise his head and look at Li Yao. Then

Then, ten thousand suns burst out of his palm at the same time and flooded into the Armored Storm Dragon’s head along his eyeballs.

The Armored Storm Dragon’s head expanded like a balloon that had been filled with air. Dozens of malformed lumps even grew out of its head and protruded out one after another.

Its head had suffered the counterforce of its ball of lightning in the first place, not to mention the fierce attack of the mysterious golden man. Very soon, almost a hundred of its eyeballs were burnt into holes, through which raging golden flames darted out. It seemed that all the organs inside the skull, from the brain to the central nerves, had been burnt to ash.

When the golden flames of destruction soared into the sky together with all its brain tissues, the Armored Storm Dragon’s head finally returned to its original size, but everybody could tell that its skull was empty. It had lost all its physiological functions and turned into an empty corpse.

BOOM!

His body, which weighed more than ten thousand tons, collapsed heavily. The gargantuan beast had been killed by the mysterious golden man!

Before Li Yao had the chance to be stunned, the gold brightness around the mysterious man suddenly expanded by a hundred times, turning the entire world into bright, glittering colors. In the blink of an eye, Li Yao and the rest of the ferocious beasts could only see gold in various degrees. They could no longer see or feel anything!

Little Black, on the other hand, was overjoyed. It pushed Li Yao hard and gestured for him to move forward in the golden torrent.

“Little Black, you mean…”

Li Yao finally realized what was going on. “You are not bringing us to the ‘heavenly tower’, but to meet the mysterious golden man?”

Little Black shivered crazily again, indicating that Li Yao was right.

Li Yao no longer hesitated. He gritted his teeth and dragged the broken giant soldier forward, guided by Little Black.

He couldn’t see anything, nor could the Giant God Soldier scan anything. But the mysterious golden man and Little Black seemed to have had a wonderful connection. The detailed 3D map was inputted into Little Black’s brain. Li Yao allowed Little Black to guide him, but he didn’t meet any ferocious beasts, nor did he step into the terrifying discontinuous zone. Very soon, Li Yao felt that the ‘arsonists’ had sunk into the ground. The gold brightness gradually dispersed, and Li Yao regained his vision and senses. As he expected, the mysterious golden man was jumping forward so fast that even the Giant God Soldier could not catch up with him. Very soon, they had gone down along the helical pathway and were many meters below the ground.

In front of them was an iron gate weighing tens of thousands of tons.

The mysterious man made a gesture with his hands and drew runes in midair. Gold runes quickly crawled into the rune arrays on the gate. After dull noises, the gate, which was more than ten meters thick, was slowly opened. However, there was still a long, dark, damp pathway below the gate that was full of branches. At the end of the branches was a new gate.

Judging from the style of the gate and the password, the gate did not seem to belong to the same civilization. It was like the fossils buried in the faults had been accumulated over billions of years. The deeper one went, the more ancient the relics were.

Judging from the rune arrays and the refining materials, the gate at the beginning was indeed the style of the Pangu Civilization.

But then, a gate that seemed to be thick and black was filled with mechanical structures that were as precise as nerves and veins. It was exactly the same as the Star Knights.
