Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Hardly had they finished their sentence when they heard an earsplitting explosion forty to fifty kilometers to the southwest of Silver City.

The noises, together with the earth-shattering quakes, caused the broken walls around them to collapse again. Even the bones of many ferocious beasts collapsed and fell to the ground, turning into scattered broken bones.

“What is that?”

Everyone stared at the southwest in horror.

At the end of the horizon in the southwest, Li Yao saw clusters of colorful clusters of light that were rolling like liquid and forming a dazzling spring. In the blink of an eye, the fountain was thousands of meters high and almost rivaled the blossoming tower.

In a moment, the ‘fountain’ was higher and higher. The brilliant colors that spread out to the surroundings were condensed into a translucent pillar of light that pierced into the sky and tore the sky apart, shooting toward the horizon of the universe!

“It looks like—it looks like a bridge?”

Li Yao gasped. He vaguely sensed something mysterious from the depths of his soul, as if he had seen something similar in the memories of his previous life a long, long time ago. “It’s... a bridge that connects different sub-universes. It’s a super teleportation array to and from the sea of the universe—the Bifrost!”

In a moment, the rainbow bridge was completed. The scattered brightness gradually condensed into an indestructible pillar.

From the bottom of the Bifrost Bridge, glittering silver objects were rising up. They were complicated components and mysterious units.

The cold metal and the crystals seemed to be controlled by an invisible giant hand and took on a life of their own. They were attracted to each other and connected with each other. Starting from the most fundamental components, they constituted a piece of enormous magical equipment—a small, weirdly-shaped, murderous, translucent starship.

“What is that place?”

Alarm bells were ringing inside Li Yao’s head. He asked anxiously, “What is that?”

“The southwest direction is the ’47th district’ of the Heavenly Palace, a place that studies the Flood Tide Legion. Although most of the captives of the Flood Tide Legion died thousands of years ago, part of the living tissue and the last few captives preserved in hibernation technology are still locked there.

The Observer stammered, “And their magical equipment. All the magical equipment that the Flood Tide Legion used in the battle against the Pangu Expeditionary Army, including their starships and portable stargates, are being studied there, too. The way they travel through the four-dimensional space is slightly different from ours. They are very valuable for research.

“The—the scraps seem to be from a small shuttle of the Flood Tide Legion. However, to prevent the Flood Tide Legion from rising again, we have imposed barriers on all the hibernating captives, the corpses of the deceased captives, and even their living tissue. They have been sealed with the strictest rules. Their war machines and starships have been dismantled into the most basic components, too. Unless you are a senior researcher with high clearance, you won’t be able to touch any fuel or ammunition. How can the components be combined automatically?”

“Has the Flood Tide Legion... really risen again?”

Li Yao bit his lips so hard that blood was flowing out. He thought quickly and soon realized what was going on. “So, somebody is hiding in the ’47th district’, the place where the Flood Tide Legion is studied, activating a portable stargate that the Flood Tide Legion uses to communicate with the universe, activating a ‘rainbow bridge’ from the Pangu Universe to the center of the universe, and rebuilding a small shuttle?

“As long as the ‘Rainbow Bridge’ is charged with enough energy and the small shuttle is reorganized, we will be able to tear apart the three-dimensional universe and reach the center of the Universe Ocean, won’t we?

“What is the enemy’s destination exactly?

Right. There can’t be a second possibility. It must be the core of the tide, the legendary ‘Earth’!

“The enemy is going to flee back to Earth, the center of the tide, through the Bifrost Bridge and report the situation of the Pangu Universe to the tide. The enemy must’ve gathered enough information, including the coordinates of the Pangu Universe, the existence of the black wall, the recent situation of the descendants of the Primeval Clan living in the Pangu Universe, and how strong the armed forces of the people here are. Everything must be reported to the tide.

“If the enemy takes off, the coordinates and military intelligence of the Pangu Universe will be completely exposed to the flood. There will be no legacy that will be passed on to us for hundreds of years or even thousands of years. We will not be able to absorb the legacy and prepare for the war. The flood might appear in front of our civilization in the very next second.

No. I must stop it!

Li Yao sent his speculation to the public communication channel.

The experts were dumbfounded at first. Then they gnashed their teeth, not knowing whether to curse Li Yao or sigh at themselves.

However, it was definitely not the style of the strong human beings to wait to be killed. This was the Pangu Universe, their home, their kingdom, and their last battlefield!

Giant soldiers whose bodies were riddled with holes soared into the sky and darted toward the ‘Rainbow Bridge’ with their last flames.

“We will settle the score with you after we take care of the Flood Tide Legion!”

On the way, Li Linghai and the other Immortal Cultivators cursed Li Yao.

“Huh?”

Li Yao’s face was full of innocence. “What does this have to do with me? It’s clearly a coincidence. Don’t be so superstitious, everyone!”

The distance of forty to fifty kilometers was as short as the blink of an eye for the sprinting giant soldier.

While they were talking, they had arrived at ‘Forty-seventh District’, which was dedicated to confining and studying the Flood Tide Legion.

District 47 was at the periphery of the City of Silver. It was not the main battlefield of the battle between the guards of the Heavenly Palace and the ferocious beasts. The buildings there were mostly intact.

But right now, all the skyscrapers were covered in pink foam, turning into a bottomless ocean of foam, as if they were ferocious beasts that had been gathered in this place to decompose and annihilate.

Besides, the foam, which was made of flesh and blood and represented the most fundamental cells and genes, had not lost its vitality yet. Instead, it seemed to have turned into a different kind of enormous, soft, rotten, and weird creature. A cluster of ‘infinite cells’ was expanding and swallowing everything nearby like wriggling plasticine.

Li Yao opened his eyes and watched as countless pink tentacles extended out from the sea of foam. Like vines and creepers, they climbed up and enveloped an entire skyscraper that was dozens of floors high. The skyscraper was actually completely engulfed.

It must be noted that the skyscraper was built with the height of the Pangu Clan, which was even more magnificent than the skyscrapers hundreds of floors below the standard of human beings. But in the blink of an eye, it had been digested and absorbed by the ocean of foam at a visible speed. It was both disgusting and terrifying. Li Yao could not help but break into a cold sweat.

“Careful!”

Right when Li Yao was deeply shocked by the slowly wriggling sea of foam, an exclamation suddenly came from the communication channel. Then, an enormous fireball exploded on his left side, which turned out to be a Giant God Soldier driven by an Immortal Cultivator who had been attacked by a mysterious enemy. It turned out to be a green-faced, three-headed, six-armed giant who was hiding behind a skyscraper that was covered in foam. He was also covered in a thick layer of foam. With the camouflage that could perfectly block the detection of mystic rays and waves, he fooled everyone’s vigilance. It was not until the unlucky Giant God Soldier happened to fly past him that he suddenly took action. He grabbed the Giant God Soldier’s right leg and threw it at the skyscraper next to him.

The skyscraper was cut in half by the immense strength, and the giant soldier was blown into a series of miserable fireballs.

“Enemy attack!”

“Stay alert!”

“What the hell is this?”

“Watch out for more monsters!”

Everyone was greatly shocked. They rained fire upon the three-headed, six-armed Indigo Devil God, forcing it to retreat step by step. However, there was a special layer of energy around its body that seemed to be a soft armor that stuck to its body. It could absorb most of the destructive energy and only retreated, but not a single flower of blood burst out.

Judging from its appearance, it was definitely not a natural creation.

It was because natural-born humanoid creatures had no need to grow three heads and six arms, nor did they need to grow to an appalling height of seventy to eighty meters.

In the natural environment of most habitable planets, such a height would only lead to excessive weight and lead to the collapse of the planet. For example, the Pangu Clan, growing to twenty meters was already their limit.

In the same way, it did not look like a deformed product of a genetic mutation such as the ‘Rampaging Armored Dragon’. Or rather, if it was really a certain artificial life form, its life would certainly be shorter than the monsters such as the ‘Rampaging Armored Dragon’. It was very likely that it could only last for a few hours. It was a one-off consumable that had been specially created for the battle.

In just a few hours, the ultimate strength stored in the deepest part of the cells was fully released. The most explosive flames were ignited and condensed into a destructive form, which was the ‘nuclear weapon’ on the cellular and genetic level!

“Hooooo!”

After enduring the collective attack of almost a hundred human experts for ten seconds, the spiritual shield covering the body of the indigo demon finally broke. Yan Liren took the opportunity to launch a fatal attack at its jugular. Blood spurted out of its neck, forcing it to throw away the giant soldier that had been crushed into a ball.

However, in the next second, accompanied by an earsplitting roar, a few ugly meat sprouts darted out of its neck and weaved together agilely and weirdly. The wounds were being repaired at a visible speed. Very soon, the wounds made by ‘Sword Addict’ Yan Liren were restored to their original state. There were no scars at all.

BOOM!

Yan Liren’s giant soldier was slapped away by the indigo demon. It rolled hundreds of meters away and crashed into a collapsed building.
