“Cut the cr*p!” Li Yao and the mental devil both gnashed their teeth and simultaneously declared, “Let’s fight!”
This was a virtual world where imagination, computational ability, and soul power were the only things that mattered. As his soul surged out, Li Yao’s body that was half in fire and half in blood expanded crazily, too, until it was almost the same size as the Fighting God!
The fire in his right hand and the blood stripes in his left hand condensed into two enormous blades that looked like sickles. Shrouded in devastating auras, he attacked the Fighting God. The enormous blade left such a long trace behind that it seemed capable of slashing a planet in half!
However—
From the end of the elbows of the Fighting God, two enormous blades that looked like sickles extended out, too, and vibrated at a frequency of more than ten thousand times per second. The four enormous blades collided and shook hundreds of thousands of times within a moment, leading to an overwhelming ocean of shadows and the shrieks that were utterly unbearable for human ears!
The enemy seemed to boast prophetic abilities. Every sharp, unpredictable attack from Li Yao and the mental devil was blocked in advance. On the other hand, the erratic moves that it utilized were always one step ahead of Li Yao’s defense. After only several seconds, hundreds of wounds were slit all over the body of Li Yao and the mental devil. However, it was not blood that ran out of the wounds but deep gold and dark red soul power.
Li Yao’s soul was fading quickly and being absorbed by the enemy!
“Give up, Li Yao!” The silver ball that was observing the battle from far away smiled casually. “This hyper spirit is the most perfect battle artificial intelligence. Its database stores the essence of more than a million clips of battle videos, which allows it to simulate the classic tactics of all the super experts in the federation over the past hundred years. Naturally, as the Ultra-Level Federal Hero, you were an important target of studies for the artificial intelligence!
“All your public battle and training videos have been included in its database. It knows every detail of your combat pattern and can even simulate it perfectly!”
Hardly had the silver ball concluded his sentence when the Fighting God suddenly took a step back. With ripples spreading out of its body, new plate armor and patterns appeared on it, turning into an enormous Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
It made a few causal moments. The more Li Yao looked at it, the more familiar it appeared to him. He almost felt like he was looking at a mirror!
“*sshole!”
Li Yao and the mental devil were utterly dumbfounded.
The silver ball smiled and said, “Your attacks have all been seen through. You can never defeat it!”
“Bullsh*t!”
Li Yao’s eyes were bloodshot, and flames of spiritual energy were surging out, rolling into almost a hundred Triple-Headed Six-Barreled Vulcan Machine Cannons!
But the silver brightness on the enemy’s body was wriggling and soon changed into remote attack weapons identical to what he had!
“Ahhh!”
The two parties opened fire at the same time. Stormy bullets swept across the entire battlefield. Li Yao and the Fighting God were both caught in the turbulence of destruction. It was the purest head-on clash of computational ability and soul power!
Although it was a virtual world, the two parties had to ‘imagine’ hundreds of thousands of bullets, render their power, and calculate the trajectories of the bullets when they attacked the enemy. Even for the brains of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator or super crystal processors with a performance of billions of floating-point operations per second, it was still a huge burden!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bullets of the two parties collided in the void. This place was not truly space. When the colorful blasts were spreading out, deafening explosions were triggered, too.
The explosions bashed Li Yao’s temples time and time again like iron fists, making his head dizzy and his heart pound. It was even difficult to breath!
Damn it. His soul power was growing weaker and weaker!
Things were not going to work out in such a way. He was not faced with a living enemy right now. The enemy’s computational ability likely comprised a hundred super crystal processors that were connected together. As for its ‘soul power’…
It was looted by the silver ball from the countless people who were trapped in the crystal worlds without them knowing it. Even the twelve experts from the Ancient Sages Sector were among the victims!
Li Yao looked at the wires that were connected from the crystal worlds to the silver ball. According to the pace of the battle, they were shivering, expanding, and shrinking. Then, he immediately understood what was going on.
The silver ball constructed illusions through the Spiriters’ Realm and absorbed the soul power of the prisoners stealthily. Then, it poured the computational ability into the Fighting God to fight with him!
He was fighting the computational ability of a hundred super crystal processors and the soul power of countless victims, including the twelve experts of the Ancient Sages Sector. The enemy had also grasped his combat pattern. How could he expect to win such a battle?
“Then, there is only the last resort now!”
Staring at the crystal worlds behind the silver ball, Li Yao’s eyes were burning with blood red fire.
His body that was riddled with holes glowed. Although it was reduced to half the original size, it became much more swift and agile. Turning into a long, narrow streak of brilliance again, he zigzagged in the middle of the storm of bullets and rushed forward as fast as he could.
In the middle of the brightness, an enormous blade that could rip the universe apart was shining and slashing at the Fighting God overwhelmingly!
“Huh…” The Fighting God sneered in contempt. Switching from the remote shooting pattern to a melee combat pattern, it drew out an equally enormous and glamorous silver saber from the most unbelievable angle and slashed upward!
According to the routes of the attacks, the two sharp soul blades should have collided without any surprise and become yet another clash that purely cost soul power.
However, Li Yao and the mental devil retracted the saber at the last moment and merely ran into the auras of the enemy’s blade with their fleshly body. Even the eyes that were in different colors were bulged wide as they searched for the best route when the auras dived into the body!
Shua!
The saber from the Fighting God cut through Li Yao’s body without meeting the slightest hindrance. It entered from his skull and chopped his body in half right from the middle precisely!
Li Yao cried miserably. Due to the heavy wound on the soul, black smoke was popping up.
But as a result, the part of soul that was ‘Li Yao’ and the part that was the ‘mental devil’ were completely separated, too!
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Bloody mist and light flames were surging out from the two halves of the body. They were becoming thinner and more lackluster, but the broken bodies were becoming more complete, too. In the end, like geckos whose tails were cut, their bodies were renewed!
“Li Yao No. 2!” Dozens of enormous bloody wings extended out of the back of the mental devil, and every wing was unfolded to the maximum. It opened its hands and stood in front of the Fighting God, while it roared desperately, “I will block this stupid giant. Go and do what you must!”
“Mental devil…” Li Yao could not have been more moved. “But why am I ‘Li Yao No. 2’? Even if you are not a mental devil but my other personality, at least I should be ‘Li Yao No. 1’, right?”
“…Ass*ole, if you don’t stop, I will really help them to beat you up!”
“Copy that,” Li Yao said. “Hang in there. I’m going to dig out the internal organs of this scumbag!”
“Hooooo!” The Fighting God, realizing that it had been fooled, roared in utmost fury. The storm of bullets and blade auras were even denser than before. “The Grand-Unified Spiritual Nexus is our future. Why can’t you understand?”
But all the attacks were blocked by the mental devil with the blood red wings. Countless feathers were shot out while it was screaming miserably, but those feathers also floated in the vacuum and turned into red mist that blocked the attacks of the Fighting God.
“Cyberspace is just a bubble, and biotechnology is the future, scumbag!” The mental devil screamed miserably in the excruciating pain. “Now is the time. Go, Li Yao No. 2. Don’t forget my share when you blow up the scumbag!”
This time, Li Yao did not linger on the issue of who was ‘No. 1’ and who was ‘No. 2′. Instead, he gritted his teeth to summon all his soul power, sprinting at the silver ball like a shooting star that was exploding on the way!
Everybody was only best in their specialty. What was loaded in the database of the silver ball were the methods to hack the Spiritual Nexus and control crystal processors. It was impossible to carry an enormous battle database.
Naturally, the silver battle was unwilling to directly compete with Li Yao. While sneering, it retreated further into the darkness.
But as it turned out, Li Yao’s target was not its real body at all. This time, Li Yao and the mental devil’s teamwork finally paid off. Before the enemy realized what was going on, Li Yao had broken the connection between it and one of the crystal worlds!
“Oh? Are you hoping to break the Spiriters’ Realm and release your partners?” The silver ball was slightly dazed. Then, it immediately realized what was going on and burst into mocking laughter. “Idiots. They are all dwelling deep within the Spiriters’ Realm, unable to free themselves from the multiple illusions! Those illusions are all constructed targeting their weaknesses and lusts, like the most complicated mind maze. How can you break them so easily?”
Li Yao did not bother with its trash talk at all but simply threw whatever remained of his soul power at one of the crystal worlds after condensing it into a flashing spear!
Boom!
Under the scourge of the light spear, the crystal world seemed to have suffered a barrage of the main guns of a starship. It was shaking abruptly, with cracks popping up on the surface!
However, those cracks were recovering at a visible speed, and Li Yao had lost the strength to launch another strike of the same strength!
“Did you see that? It’s useless!” The laughter of the silver ball was even more sarcastic. “Now that I have brought all of you to this place, I naturally have the confidence…”
Its laughter came to an abrupt end.
While the cracks on the outside of the crystal world were recovering nonstop, it was shaking at a higher and higher frequency, as if it were an enormous egg that contained a primeval beast, and the egg was falling apart!
Yes. The victim trapped in this particular crystal world was Long Yangjun, the elite warrior from the Nuwa Civilization!
