Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 2333 - The Price of the Divinity Transformation Stage!

Chapter 2333 The Price of the Divinity Transformation Stage!

Behind Li Yao, it was an undersea plateau that did not have any obstacles. With Blackstar the Great’s Cultivation, he could’ve caught up to the enemy in the blink of an eye.

However, when Li Yao chatted with Wuying Qi to buy more time, he secretly asked the mental devil to dig holes on the underground plateau with Neltharion and planted enough crystal bombs in the holes.

When Wuying Qi chased after him furiously inside his “h.e.l.lstar”, Li Yao detonated the crystal bombs with his telepathic thoughts. Cl.u.s.ters of black smoke that looked like mud immediately burst out, rising from the bottom of the ocean like thousands of pillars. Wuying Qi’s eyes and other senses were greatly disrupted.

Li Yao boosted the power units of the Gold Vulture to such an extent that they might fall apart at any moment when he rushed to almost a hundred kilometers away without any stop. Wuying Qi’s “h.e.l.lstar” had completely submerged in the darkness, as if he had been left behind.

However, Wuying Qi’s infuriated voice was still following him like a parasite. “You think that you can get rid of me with such petty tricks? I will certainly catch you today and open your skull and see how different a freak’s brain is from the Cultivators a thousand years ago!”

“Just save it. There were too many guys in the universe who hated my guts and wanted to skin and mince me, but right now, their own skins and bones had all been made into drums that were beaten every day, and I am still as alive as can be!”

While running, Li Yao laughed hard. “I did not get my moniker of ‘King of Counterattack’ for nothing. You want to catch me? Wait until you completely recover your strength!”

Wuying Qi bellowed, and the speed of “h.e.l.lstar” was immediately ten times higher. Dozens of metal tentacles darted out rapidly like flying swords at exactly the direction where Li Yao’s laughter came from.

But out of his expectation, his attack hit nothing except the seawater.

As it turned out, Li Yao had foreseen that his enemy would be tracing his every movement. His last telepathic wave had actually been transmitted using the reflection of a magical equipment unit that had been carved with quake rune arrays. Li Yao’s real body was naturally somewhere else.

Narrowing his eyes deeply, Wuying Qi spread out his telepathic thoughts to all directions and locked onto Li Yao’s body again very soon.

Watching Li Yao, who was fleeing fast and stealthily inside the Gold Vulture that was supposed to be majestic and magnificent, Wuying Qi did not even know how he should feel. He gnashed his teeth and snapped, “I don’t understand. If you are so scared of death, why do you not surrender to me? I guarantee that I will spare your life!”

“Even an ant craves to live. I went through all the trouble to advance into the Divinity Transformation Stage. There are many places that I haven’t visited and many great things I haven’t done. Of course I don’t want to die!”

Li Yao half ran and half crawled while he shouted, “However, living in a world governed by you is even more insufferable than death for me! All in all, you cannot force anyone into sincerely obeying you. A word of advice: don’t come any closer. I still have the most terrifying and brutal skill that I have yet to perform. I am not lying. Don’t push me to carry out my ultimate attack!”

Blackstar the Great sneered nonstop. Like a hybrid of a metal sea urchin and a giant squid, “h.e.l.lstar” was faster and faster as the black fog spurted out, until all the metal tentacles around the body were connected at the end into two giant drills, one in the front and the other at the back, making the Colossus look like a weirdly-shaped shuttle.

After a.s.suming the new shape, the Colossus moved in the water ten times more efficiently than before. “h.e.l.lstar” darted at Li Yao in a streak of blackness, covering the dozens of kilometers in between in the blink of an eye.

The metal feathers on the wings of the Gold Vulture had just been shot out. The only thing left was the skeleton. Li Yao simply held them on the back to block the crash of “h.e.l.lstar”. But after the collision, the skeleton was broken apart and blown away.

“Pu!”

Inside the c.o.c.kpit of the Gold Vulture, Li Yao vomited a mouthful of blood crazily. He felt that the evilest energy flowed into his body through the gaps on the Colossus together with the intense collision of “h.e.l.lstar”. Ten thousand ants seemed to be nibbling his nerve endings and veins, and thousands of terrible illusions were popping up inside his head too.

“Huh, what a familiar feeling.”

The mental devil exclaimed in shock, “Tenebrum energy! What Blackstar the Great uses is not the spiritual energy but the tenebrum energy that belongs to the extraterrestrial devils!”

…

In the opposite direction of Li Yao and Wuying Qi’s fierce battle, thousands of kilometers away, deep inside the Silver Moon Ocean, Long Yangjun slowly sank to the bottom of the ocean together with Li Jialing and found a supply station.

The supply station that was hidden beneath the mud at the bottom of the ocean was originally prepared by Di Feiwen for his escape in secret. Weapons, ammunitions, crystals, fuel, medicines, fin kits that could increase the speed of the crystal suit in the deep ocean… Everything useful could be found here.

Dongfang w.a.n.g died because of traitors, and all the traitors had been finished off by Long Yangjun. Naturally, Long Yangjun was the only one left who was aware of the accurate coordinates of the dozens of undersea supply stations, which were enough to support them to sneak to the continental shelf without a sound and enter the underground towns deep inside the chasms on the main continent through the secret tunnels on the continental shelf.

“Kid, just wait here.”

Long Yangjun knocked on Li Jialing’s head and hinted him to crawl into the narrow supply station. “I’ll be back soon.”

“Sister… Dongfang.”

After a brief hesitation, Li Jialing emboldened himself to ask, “Are you going back to rescue Brother Yao?”

Long Yangjun sniffed softly and said, “It remains to be seen whether I will rescue him, but if his enemy is really Blackstar the Great, how can I miss the spectacular show where ‘Vulture Li Yao’ is thrashed and tormented by Blackstar the Great?”

“Is that so?”

Li Jialing looked at Long Yangjun in suspicion. He finally couldn’t hold it back anymore. “Sister Dongfang, you and Brother Yao must’ve met a long time ago and not just recently, right?”

“You are rather smart, kid.”

Long Yangjun said casually, “Why do you say that?”

“I am just young, but I’m not stupid. If the two of you were not close to each other, why would you risk your life to come back and save him when the enemy is very likely to be Blackstar the Great?”

Li Jialing had his answer, but his confusion was not answered at all, and his curiosity was almost stuffing his stomach. Thinking for a long time, he still found it hard to believe. “But how is it possible? How could Brother Yao have known you a long time ago? What’s your relations.h.i.+p exactly? Are you… a couple?”

“A couple?”

Long Yangjun was amused. “Come on, kid. Let me ask you a question. What do you think is the most important thing for a couple?”

“The most important thing for a couple?”

Bulging his eyes, Li Jialing thought for a long time. “Mutual interest? Devotion? Fidelity? Trust?”

“Wrong. It’s s.e.x!”

Long Yangjun curled her finger and tapped the young man’s forehead neither too lightly nor too heavily. “Let me ask you another question. If you were a woman, could you imagine yourself having s.e.x with Li Yao?”

Pondering for a moment, Li Jialing shuddered hard. “It feels… rather scary!”

“I, for one, do not feel that it is scary, only very hilarious. a.s.suming that it does happen someday, I think that I’ll burst into laughter in the middle of it.”

Long Yangjun said casually, “Besides, ‘couple’, as a seemingly intimate relations.h.i.+p, is only meaningful in the short phase after the amphigenetic lives developed the inst.i.tution of fixed spouses. For the intelligent lives who count on as.e.xual reproduction or community reproduction, they do not have the concept of love and marriage at all. As such, ‘couple’ means absolutely nothing for them. So, my life will never be bound by such a lame concept.”

Li Jialing was apparently puzzled. “Well, I don’t understand what you are talking about…”

“You silly kid, your Brother Yao and I are not a couple.”

Long Yangjun said with a smile, “Such an excellent and devoted man only deserves the strongest, most invincible, and unstoppable woman. It is a pity that I am not that woman.”

“Strong, invincible, and unstoppable?”

Li Jialing blinked for a long time, but he still could not picture a woman that fitted the descriptions. But he was finally clear about one thing now. “So you are friends? Can you tell me more about Brother Yao? I’ve never seen such a… peculiar Cultivator before.”

Long Yangjun said emphatically, “There is no need to be so subtle. I understand what you are saying. In fact, Li Yao was not like this in the past. In fact, his behavior was quite normal when I just met him.

“However, you should know how training and fighting can damage the body and especially the brain. Li Yao has been a complete lunatic in training and fighting, and he went through countless fierce battles in the past decades. The frequency and intensity of his fights and training are far higher than the regular people in the Nascent Soul Stage and the Divinity Transformation Stage.

“It is exactly because he burned his life and soul and exploited the potentials of his brain without any restraint in the h.e.l.lish slaughterhouses again and again that he defeated opponents who were far stronger than him, allowing him to become the youngest expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage in the entire universe.

“However, such crazy fighting and rapid upgrading eventually significantly damaged his brain and left irrecoverable sequela, transforming him from a determined, self-respecting, sunny young man into… whatever he is today.”

Li Jialing was deeply awed. “That explains why Brother Yao’s behavior is completely the opposite of what is expected for an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage! It’s all because of his severe brain damage! So to speak, Brother Yao must’ve been a hero in the past, right?”

“Hero?”

Long Yangjun smiled, and waving the metal fins next to her legs, she swam away. “Maybe, but that is not what I care about. I simply find him very interesting. There are so few lives in such a vast universe. I only wish that more of them could be as interesting as him.

“Therefore… just hang in there, I don’t think you will be blown up by Blackstar the Great so quickly as a sordid c.o.c.kroach, will you?”

Long Yangjun glowed brilliantly, and the seawater around her seemed to have been frozen into clear gla.s.s. Her Colossus “Heavenly Crystal” showed up again and enshrouded Long Yangjun while she rushed at the battlefield!
