Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 3012 - Stupid” Trap

Chapter 3012 “Stupid” Trap

Of course.

The best experts and adventure teams of the entire Pangu Universe had been gathered for the exploration. They were many times more sophisticated than the days when Li Linghai had been alone. The experts and scholars were confident that they could solve the riddle that Li Linghai could not.

Everyone was rubbing their fists, eager to pa.s.s through the ‘Mithril Ball’ and enter the tomb of the Supreme Emperor.

But Li Yao was still frowning. He had a bad feeling

“The entrance of the Supreme Emperor Tomb is so close to the place where the two supreme fortresses collapsed? But there are no traces of the other three supreme fortresses around the entrance of the tomb. What does it mean?”

Li Yao mumbled to himself. The extremely dangerous stars in his eyes gathered again. When all the stars crashed into each other and triggered fatal flames, his face changed completely. He jumped up and shouted at the top of his voice, “Stop. Stop the exploration into the Deep Earth Fortress. Everybody, retreat. Retreat from the Deep Earth Fortress and the debris of the Inferno Fortress. Prepare for the first-degree battle. The enemy might show up at any moment!”

The experts and the expedition team were still reveling in the ecstasy of finding the entrance of the ancient tomb. Everybody was a.n.a.lyzing and calculating the data transmitted by the probe crystal cameras wholeheartedly. Li Yao’s roar slightly startled them, but they did not react so quickly. “…What?”

“Hurry up and put on the mustard suit, crystal suit, giant soldier, and all the defense magical equipment that you can find!

Li Yao was so excited that his voice was almost twisted. “Get as far away from the two wretched supreme fortresses as possible!”

Although they did not know what was going on, everybody had almost instinctive trust in Li Yao’s instincts as an expert in the Soul Splitting Stage. Before they realized what was going on, their bodies had activated all kinds of defense magical equipment from their Cosmos Rings out of reflex. The exploration team that was trying to enter the Deep Earth Battlesuit stopped temporarily, too.

This action had saved many lives.

One minute after Li Yao finished his sentence, all the stars.h.i.+ps detected a terrifying high-energy reaction deep inside the lifeless fortress. The super s.p.a.ce fortress, which was on the verge of death, still had the strength to struggle. Part of the fuel and ammunition that had not exploded yet were detonated brutally!

The remains of the fortress immediately turned into a swirl of destruction.

It turned from a lifeless gray into a dazzling orange. Flames that looked like magma spurted out of the narrow and long cracks and swept everything nearby in streams of high-energy particles. Then, it turned into an enormous light ball, which suddenly expanded to hundreds of kilometers nearby.

In the vacuum of the universe, the blast was not very threatening. But after the entire star fortress was shattered, countless pieces rushed out at a high speed and momentum like a storm of bullets.

Not just the Thick Earth Fortress, the debris of the broken Inferno Fortress had exploded, too, creating countless terrifying traps around the exploration fleet and on their way forward.

There was no way that so much fuel and ammunition could have been left on the remains of the fortress and exploded simultaneously.

Unless somebody had planted a lot of crystal bombs on the debris on purpose.

It was a trap that Lu Qingchen had set up on purpose.

Maybe it was true that the collision between the two satellites had wrecked the two supreme fortresses, but with Lu Qingchen’s ruthlessness and craziness, how could he lose two fifths of his combat ability without doing anything about it?

In a cruel battlefield, it was a common tactic to hide some highly-sensitive crystal bombs below the dead bodies of the enemy and make them into b.o.o.by traps. He did not expect that Lu Qingchen would be insane enough to make two super-large b.o.o.by traps out of the dead bodies of the two supreme fortresses! Thankfully, Li Yao reacted intuitively at the last moment and stopped the members of the exploration team from entering the fortress. He also asked everyone, especially the experts and scholars who were not good at fighting, to activate their defensive magical equipment. Otherwise, the explosion of the debris of the two supreme fortresses would have been enough to reimburse hundreds of elite members of the exploration team and hundreds of irreplaceable experts.

Even now, the earthshaking explosions and the storm of bullets were still a major nuisance for the exploration fleet.

The carrier in the lead was almost riddled with holes because of the debris. Even though the crew members on board had put on their crystal suits and picked up their super-alloy s.h.i.+elds in time, it was inevitable that they felt that the world was spinning and that their internal organs were on fire. Li Yao and the other exploration stars.h.i.+ps in the periphery were hit by the burning debris, too. Their spiritual s.h.i.+elds were blinking violently, consuming a lot of precious energy. Some of them were even knocked off their trajectories and fell into the densest and fiercest area of the meteoroid.

The mainframe crystal processors of all the stars.h.i.+ps were uttering earsplitting alarms, one after another, indicating that countless debris and meteorites were about to hit the stars.h.i.+p and that it was impossible to avoid them.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The debris and meteoroids. .h.i.t the sh.e.l.l of the stars.h.i.+p one after another, raising glamorous flowers of energy. The atmosphere inside the cabin was quite depressing.

Everyone knew that Lu Qingchen’s plan was not so simple.

Since he was willing to build such a large-scale trap with the debris of the two Supreme Battle fortresses, he must have a lot of other tricks up his sleeve.

As he expected!

At the periphery of ‘Ancient Thirteen’, where the meteorites were densest, almost a thousand dazzling pillars of light darted close like spears, catching the exploration fleet unprepared. Then, a star fortress as long and narrow as a saber dashed out of the darkness and slashed at the exploration fleet.

It was ‘Sharpen Gold Fortress’, the strongest of the five supreme fortresses!

Behind the exploration fleet, also covered by the meteoroids and the furious radiation, a deep blue star fortress that looked like a blurred mist was quickly condensed and floated to the surface, s.h.i.+ning in a charming and evil brilliance. It was the ‘Battle Fortress Phantom Sea’, one of the five supreme fortresses that was best at stealth and mental attacks!

The two fortresses were attacking the exploration fleet from the front and the back. They did not conceal themselves at all, nor did they calculate any route of retreat. Instead, they charged at the exploration fleet unstoppably at the highest speed and with the fiercest bombardment. A lot of s.p.a.ce shuttles and crystal suits were released from the two supreme fortresses, too. They were like dense bees, trying to draw close to the exploration fleet under the cover of cannon fire and meteoroids in the most chaotic and time-consuming ‘boarding battle’.

“Has Lu Qingchen… gone mad?”

Li Yao’s eyes were wide open, watching the absurd scene. He had no idea what was on Lu Qingchen’s mind at all.

Although the five supreme fortresses were impressive and the culmination of thousands of years of resources and technology of the Holy Alliance, in the end, they were just five ‘idiots’ with only one function.

Modern Warfare was more complicated and precise than ever. What mattered most was cooperation and system. In order to bring out the best performance of the Supreme Battle Fortress, countless divine s.h.i.+elds, a.r.s.enals, and Giant G.o.d Soldiers were necessary. Lu Qingchen had none of them. Even the maintenance and operation of the Supreme Battle Fortress were not very satisfactory.

What was even more critical was that this was a ‘ferocious place’ where the meteoroid torrents were fierce and the magnetic field was extremely chaotic. The larger a piece of super-large magical equipment was, the more intense the spiritual energy reaction would be, and the more seriously it would be affected. Wasn’t Lu Qingchen afraid that he would suffer the same fate as the ‘Fortress of Earth’ and the ‘Fortress of Fire’, causing the two star fortresses to collapse and be obliterated among the stardust?

Although Li Yao and Li Linghai’s exploration fleet did not carry the most powerful super a.r.s.enals, there were more than a hundred of them. Naturally, they were not scared of Lu Qingchen’s final struggle. He was willing to show up and court his own death, which saved everybody a lot of trouble. “You think you can trap us with such a simple trap? Such childish ideas are not your style, Lu Qingchen!”

Li Yao mumbled to himself. Then he heard Li Linghai’s command in the communication channel. “Giant Soldiers, move out!”

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Led by Ding Lingdang, dozens of Giant G.o.d Soldiers were deployed to the battlefield. They turned into colorful streaks of brightness and charged at the two supreme fortresses in front and behind them under the cover of their own cannons.

For the enormous and clumsy star fortresses, the Giant G.o.d Soldiers were their natural enemies. Once they crawled into the body of an enemy Giant G.o.d Soldier, they would be like a big dumb elephant whose nose had been dug by a small mouse. They would not be able to perform any techniques at all.

The only thing that could stop the invasion of the enemy soldiers was their own soldiers.

However, according to the information that Xiao Ming and Wen Wen gathered, the number of Giant G.o.d Soldiers that Lu Qingchen and the five supreme battle fortresses took away was not large. There were definitely no more than ten of them.

The people of the Sanctuary Alliance were never best known for their individual combat ability. The tactics of their Giant G.o.d Soldiers were rigid, and they lacked a distinctive personal style. It was very easy to figure out their pattern. Even in the ‘counterattack of the imperium’, they were not at a disadvantage when they were outnumbered by the Immortal Cultivators. Right now, they were suppressed by the coalition army of the federation, the imperium, and the Sanctuary Alliance. As he expected, in the next half hour, a one-sided slaughter took place in the stone belts outside of the gravitational ring of ‘Gu Thirteen’.

The Exos and the armed shuttles released by the two supreme fortresses did not have the Giant G.o.d Soldiers as their cores. Therefore, they were barely able to fight back when they were attacked by Ding Lingdang and the other crystal suits, armed shuttles, and battle puppets. Ding Lingdang’s ‘Great Fire Dragon Sparrow’, Boss Bai’s ‘Extraterrestrial Pirate’, Long Yangjun’s ‘Crystal’, and dozens of burning Giant G.o.d Soldiers tore apart the spiritual s.h.i.+eld and the airtight gate of the warehouse of the Supreme Battle Fortress effortlessly. They marched forward and started a ma.s.sacre.
