Forty Millenniums of Cultivation - Chapter 1978

Chapter 1978 Fury of the Divinity Transformation Stage!

The crystal bombs that had been carefully modified by him did not pursue the maximal damage but had been perfectly melded with his soul, allowing him to control the turbulence and the swirls as if they were his arms and fingers. He condensed a hundred raging waterspouts on the lake water, separating the sinners from the shuttles and blowing the shuttles backward!

Countless sinners broke away from the chains and fell into the cold water.

The adult warriors had much better body builds than the ordinary people of the Star Glory Federation did and were almost on the same level as the federation’s warriors. With the assistance of spiritual energy, it should not be a problem for them to float in the lake for an hour or two.

Only a few of them who were terribly unlucky sank into the lake because they were unable to untie the chains in time.

With the power of his soul, Li Yao raised tides each higher than the last, which attracted hundreds of shuttles that were fully loaded with crystal bombs and smashed them at the enormous ‘hot-air balloons’ that were floating on the lake!

All the people in the Village of Peace were dumbfounded by the unbelievable scene.

They had lived on the lake for decades, but they had never seen such a fierce and weird wind that could blow back the enemy’s ferocious attacks before.

Was it because some supernatural power was watching over the Village of Peace in secret?

The five huge ‘hot-air balloons’ spurted out hundreds of snakes of fire, trying to detonate the crystal bombs before the shuttles hit them.

However, under the enhancement of Li Yao’s soul, the shuttles generated barriers that were similar to spiritual shields and resisted most of the attacks.

Li Yao also secretly boosted the water in the lake, causing the five ‘hot-air balloons’ to bob up and down, making it practically impossible for them to aim.

Finally, the hundreds of shuttles hit the five enormous ‘hot-air balloons’ brutally. Hundreds of ugly fireballs that looked like tumors immediately rose amid deafening explosions, dying the surface of the lake into the most glamorous orange colors!

The hundreds of mechanical arms on them waved crazily up and down in the ocean of fire, like the dying struggles of five metal octopi.

It was a classic example of falling victim to one’s own scheme!

Li Yao grunted, and the indicator on his chest slowly dimmed. Controlling the lake water that weighed thousands of tons as well as hundreds of shuttles simultaneous was too burdensome a task. Despite the powerful soul in the Divinity Transformation Stage, he still felt that the world was swirling before him, and his vitality was drained. The dazzling data before his eyes became more chaotic than ever.

However, it was truly gratifying to fight a thousand enemies on one’s own and defeat them!

“It seems Liu Li’s mother was right,” the mental devil concluded. “The Cultivators are indeed… hopeless idiots!”

Hiu!

A streak of redness flashed out of Li Yao’s chassis into the lake, vanishing.

It was Neltharion!

“Where are you going?” Li Yao asked.

“To wipe your ass for you, of course,” the mental devil said lazily. “Make no mistake, I am not moved by your idiotic behavior. However, now that we are dependent on each other, I will be affected if the Immortal Cultivators notice something’s wrong or even kill you in this chaotic Land of Sins. I do not intend to be locked in a laboratory or the so-called ‘Hall of Trial’!”

…

One minute ago, inside the five enormous metal balls, the tough bandits from the Black Water Gang did not consider attacking the Village of Peace a big deal at all.

“Could the Village of Peace have been safe in the past twenty years without the advantageous terrain?”

“But little do they know that the Black Water Gang makes our living on the lake. Do they think they can stop us with such a pond?”

“In my opinion, boss was overcautious. Why did we bother to capture so many swine and make them lead the charge? It was utterly unnecessary! We could’ve swum over from the bottom of the lake and detonate their ships. The ‘Sky Breaking Hammer’ will be nothing more than a dead pig then!”

“Go now! Go now! You filthy swine. Work harder! And harder! Hahaha!”

The intimidating brawny men who had tattoos all over their bodies controlled hundreds of mechanical arms to drive the cannon fodder. They appreciated the moans and struggles coming from the front while they mocked hideously.

It was not until the series of explosions echoed from the bottom of the lake and the waterspout mixed with countless demolition shuttles came at them aggressively that their arrogant laughter came to a sudden stop.

“What the damn hell?”

“How is it possible? Why is this happening?”

“Is this a violent wind or—”

All the tough bandits looked as pale as dead bodies. Their pupils were entirely occupied by the expanding fireballs.

The metal octopi that they were aboard were naturally not real hot-air balloons. The surface that was as smooth as a mirror was actually made of the strengthened porcelain and the composite materials of the latest invention. It could effectively resist the attacks of radiation, heat, high-energy particles, and all kinds of mystic rays.

Even after the hundreds of demolition shuttles exploded around them brutally, they caused no damage at all except for the dozens of tiny wounds on the round shell of the metal octopi.

Other than the ringing and dizziness, their minds took the brunt of the blow.

They were the tough bandits from the Blood Worlds, yet they had been tricked by a bunch of villagers, who were nothing more than swine and lambs in their eyes!

“*ssholes! I’m going to skin them, draw out their veins, break their bones, and make them eat their own fingers, toes, and internal organs! All of them!”

In the middle of the surging smoke and fire, the tough bandits rose to their feet in dizziness. They were fuming so much that their skin was even breaking apart while they roared like animals.

However…

Perhaps it was their imagination, but all the bandits saw a streak of weird redness infiltrate the metal ball through a crack and float above their heads.

The redness released bloody mist unhurriedly, which interweaved into a giant, bloody face that was wearing a smile of mockery. It observed the tough bandits with great interest.

Being observed by the bloody face, all the bandits chilled in fear.

It was a natural-born instinct, like mice that were locked onto by a snake.

“Make no mistake. I actually quite like this world and appreciate you.” The bloody fame smiled. “This world is brimming with negative emotions and is almost entirely covered in darkness. Tsk, tsk, tsk. It is best for my training!

“Therefore, show your darkest side to me. Struggle, scream, moan, roar, and be swallowed submissively by me. Hahaha!”

Hu!

Centered at Neltharion, the mental devil released bloody tentacles that darted to all directions, piercing the eyes, hearts, and internal organs of quite a few tough bandits instantly.

The ‘hot-air balloons’ immediately turned into the goriest infernos!

…

Right when the front of the Village of Peace was under the crazy attack of the Black Water Gang, dozens of insignificant bubbles suddenly popped up on the lake behind the village.

At first look, they seemed to be waves spreading on the surface of the lake. It was not until the waves faded away that the transparent armor that had almost completely melded with the lake could be seen.

When the armor approached the boats, it turned dull brown, almost identical to the color of the rusty shell of the boats.

It was a powerful function of stealth plus mimesis!

Almost everybody’s attention was drawn to the overwhelming demolition shuttles and the waterborne fortress of the Black Water Gang. Together with the cover of the dark night, nobody noticed the specters who emerged from the bottom of the lake without a sound.

The specters truly seemed weightless and formless. They dashed to the iron-shelled boat at the rearmost part like soft smoke.

Suddenly, a head craned out of the deck. One flashlight shot outward and illuminated the specters precisely.

However, the specters did not stop their movements, and the person on the deck did not scream to alarm other people. Instead, he simply lowered his voice and said to the specters, “Follow me.”

Faced with the immense pressure caused by the cannon fodder of the Black Water Gang, almost all the combatants of the Village of Peace had been dispatched to the front. The few iron-shelled boats at the rear, where the injured and the assets were kept, had few guards.

The specters wearing stealthy crystal suits bypassed all the sentry posts even without the help of the spy. Those who could not be bypassed were killed quickly and quietly.

Very soon, they found their way to Gu Zhengyang’s command ship from the dozens of iron-shelled boats that were connected to each other.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Once they arrived, the specters finally tore apart their camouflage. In the ripples of light, they revealed their hideous weapons and darted into the command center like a burning blade!

They were ten times stronger and more resolute than the villagers, and they had the enhancement of crystal suits. The villagers guarding the command center were no match for them. In half a minute, they blew up the door of the command cabin unstoppably.

The tough bandits in crystal suits and fully armed, like iron statues, broke into the command cabin and looked at Gu Zhengyang and the elders of the village coldly.

Han Te and Liu Li, however, were one step ahead of the specters. They had also brought twenty or so young, vigorous warriors as well as abundant crystal bombs.

When the serial explosions echoed outside of the door, the guns and cannons were already aimed at the door, with the most dangerous coldness condensing inside the barrel. But it seemed useless in front of dozens of crystal suits.

“You did not see it coming, did you?” One of the ‘specters’ removed the facial cover. He was grinning so hideously that his face had been deformed. “Han Te, we have met again so quickly!”

It was exactly Zhao Chong, the disobedient young man and the leader of the Iron Blood Youths.

“It’s really you!” Han Te shrieked in fury. “You ungrateful traitor?”

“Hehe. What do you know?” Zhao Chong said gloatingly. “My father should be the leader of the Village of Peace. We are only here to take back what’s ours!”

“Enough.”

An iron hand patted his shoulder and dragged him backward. Another Exo who was even taller and stronger pressed his helmet, revealing a face that was as indifferent as ice without any emotions.

‘Blood Eagle’ Zhao Lie and ‘Sky Breaking Hammer’ Gu Zhengyang confronted each other in silence and tension.
