Chapter 2125 Who Can Stop Me?

Ten hours later, night had fallen on the Land of Sins again.

But this time, colorful mystic rays were rising to the sky everywhere on the bleak land, ripping apart the dark sky and breaking beyond the atmosphere.

In the crevice of a mountainous area, Li Yao opened his eyes slowly and looked at the empty cans of medical drugs and strengthening nutrition. All the fluids in them had been absorbed by him without leaving a single drop. They had leaked to every mitochondrion inside his every cell.

After ten hours of meditation and recovery, his physical strength, soul, and fighting will had all climbed to the highest point.

It was time to break out!

In order not to bring trouble to Han Te, Liu Li, the Fist King, Zuo Jingyun, Gao Kangda, and the rest of them, Li Yao had been treating his wounds in the mountains more than five kilometers inland.

He was in the middle of the unmanned wilderness. The only things that could be seen were the flickering torches on the horizon. Everything seemed peaceful and quiet.

However, Li Yao knew that the tranquility was merely a disguise.

Li Lingfeng and his fleet would definitely not let go of him so easily. They must be gnashing their teeth and whetting their sabers, waiting to ambush him outside of the atmosphere when he boosted all his spiritual energy and broke out of the siege.

Li Yao only hoped that he was a big fish that was more worthy of catching than “Starlight” so that he would be able to distract the Immortal Cultivators and buy precious time for Han Te, Liu Li, and all the other people on the Land of Sins who craved freedom!

“Little Black, I’ll have to count on you again. Please hang in there!”

Li Yao touched the black Cosmos Ring on his index finger and raised his arm.

Clusters of black mucus flowed out of the Cosmos Ring and emitted the brilliance of mercury before it enshrouded him in the blink of an eye. He seemed to have put on a most mysterious crystal suit.

It was exactly the original body of Little Black—the flying sword named Black Wing, which was made of materials that were even more flexible and tensile than liquid metal and boasted very powerful abilities of spiritual energy interaction and telepathic thought enhancement.

Shua!

After every inch of skin was covered and protected by Little Black carefully, Li Yao opened his arms and slowly drifted to midair.

Black-and-red streaks of brightness continued spurting out of his Cosmos Ring, drawing the outline and the framework of a Colossus around him. In the next, it was the network that looked like veins and nerves. The last to be filled was the magical equipment units that were most precise in structure and could activate thousands of techniques.

The Tartarean Skeleton stood on the Land of Sins and let out a tsunami of spiritual energy while faced with the boundless night sky!

Li Yao’s soul seemed to have been completely melted with the Colossus.

He could clearly sense the heavy damage on the Tartarean Skeleton, which even led to stinging feelings at his nerve endings.

But the pain, which felt like needle stabbing, only made him even more excited. His soul was burning more intensely than ever.

Neltharion turned into a streak of redness and circled the Tartarean Skeleton rapidly like a satellite around a planet, further adding to the profoundness and the mysteriousness of the Colossus.

“Li Lingfeng, even if you have an entire fleet in your hands—”

Li Yao’s lips curled, and his eyes that were staring at the night sky were brimming with infinite fire. “—you can try and see if you can block ‘Vulture Li Yao’!”

BOOM! BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

The most violent flames of spiritual energy spurted out of the Tartarean Skeleton, which covered the land of almost a thousand square meters instantly. All the uneven hills were blown into powder by the airwaves. The pebbles the size of fingernails were captured by the force field of the Colossus first and spun around it rapidly before they hit the ground hard in cracking explosions.

Right when the hills were crumbled into stones and the stones landed heavily, the Tartarean Skeleton rose to the sky into a crimson pillar of light, piercing through the clouds like a glittering long spear!

“Grandpa Yao…”

Hundreds of kilometers away, Han Te and Liu Li held each other’s hands and stared at the scene in a daze. Something wet and clear was flashing in the eyes of both of them.

The Fist King stood in silence behind them, with disordered light beaming out of his man-made eyes. He seemed deeply confused as to why the very special human being was doing all that.

All the other resistance warriors of Starlight knew that Li Yao broke out of the siege in such an eye-catching way only because he was trying to distract the Immortal Cultivators for them. Their blood boiling and their hearts racing, they all secretly clenched their fists and cheered for Li Yao in their hearts.

Li Yao’s spectacular breakthrough was witnessed by countless sinners on the Land of Sins too. The red spear that pierced at the sky and did not disperse after a long time had also deeply pierced into their heart too.

Perhaps the scene would be a legend that the sinners talked about passionately even a long time later!

Outside of the atmosphere of the Martial Meritocrats Planet, Li Yao was unleashing heat and radiations, which were more than the main engine of a heavy starship could’ve released, in the most blatant way without hiding his existence at all, because he was hoping to catch the attention of all the Immortal Cultivators. Naturally, he was detected by the fleet of the Immortal Cultivators that was lurking beyond the gravity sphere.

Hardly had Li Yao sprinted out of the planet’s gravity circle and entered the dark space when he sensed a magnificent wave of spiritual energy coming at him at high speed.

It was Li Lingfeng!

The guy indeed did not intend to let him go but was only ambushing him.

Not just Li Lingfeng, even the hundreds of starships of the Immortal Cultivators’ fleet nearby were also attracted by Li Yao and marched at him aggressively like countless bloodstained tusks.

Hehe. You want to surround a Colossus in the vast, boundless space where there are no obstacles at all?

Li Yao sneered nonstop. You can’t be more stupid!

It was not a siege on the ground.

The universe was too vast. Not just Li Lingfeng’s several hundred starships, even thousands of them would be nothing more than grains of dust.

There was at least a thousand kilometers between every two starships, which was not enough to completely control the entire space at the edge of a planet. In the meantime, common material weapons could not catch up to his speed at all, and only the weapons of mystic rays that moved at the speed of light could possibly hit him—on the condition that the enemy could lock onto him first!

Until the fuel and the spiritual energy ran out, only Li Lingfeng’s Colossus had the opportunity to catch up to and stop his Colossus, creating a window for the fleet around to surround him.

But Li Lingfeng’s Colossus…

Very fast. “Tempest God”, it is certainly not a wrong name!

Li Yao grinned, baring his glittering teeth. The cunningness beaming out of his eyes made him look like a weasel that had just stolen a chicken.

It was impossible for Li Lingfeng to have predicted the coordinates where he broke through the atmosphere. So, the two of them were tens of thousands of kilometers away from each other at the beginning.

Despite the high speed of the Tempest God, it had to resort to the maximal power output in order to cover the long distance as soon as possible.

The result of a prolonged extreme output was that, when the two of them were only slightly more than a thousand kilometers from each other, the spiritual waves of the Tempest God suddenly blinked weirdly, and the speed of the Colossus plummeted!

The tricks that Li Yao played on the power units of the Tempest God in the competition at the beginning at the cost of the heavy damage to the Tartarean Skeleton had finally worked out!

Sensing that the enemy’s speed was lower and lower, and it was unlikely for him to be caught, Li Yao burst into laughter and rushed off in confidence!

Not far away up ahead, however, there was a lone starship of the Immortal Cultivators, which was launching mystic rays and electromagnetic bullets at him in vain, hoping to slow him down.

A “Piranha”-level arsenal warship!

Li Yao’s eyes glittered with interest, and cruelty spread out of the smile on his lips. To completely blow up an arsenal warship of such a level, it will only take me… seven seconds!

In the blink of an eye, the Tartarean Skeleton disappeared, or melted, in the space like a cluster of unpredictable black smoke.

The enemy’s stormy attack all missed the target, achieving nothing but the feeble ripples that were spreading out.

Shua!

In the next second, the Tartarean Skeleton somehow appeared on the top of the arsenal warship of the Imperium, staring at the enemy coldly from the high stance.

Although the Tartarean Skeleton at this moment had been heavily wounded and riddled with holes, it could not stop the ripples of spiritual energy from spreading out of the Colossus’ arms and condensing into a drill that looked like a red lotus. Tearing apart the seemingly solid armor of the arsenal warship, the Colossus raged and went on a rampage inside the cabins unstoppably!

Only seven seconds later—

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

The “Piranha”-level arsenal warship, which had been armed to the teeth, indeed turned into dazzling light balls. The warehouses of ammunition and crystals all had the most intense explosions, releasing abundant radiations and high-energy particles that completely disrupted the detection of Li Lingfeng and the starships of other Immortal Cultivators.

There being no friction in vacuum, the remnants resulted from the explosion of the starship all darted away at a high speed like shooting stars. Without the interference of external forces, they would continue drifting forward until they flew out of the Martial Meritocrats Sector!

The moment when the arsenal warship exploded, Li Yao already retreated the Tartarean Skeleton under the cover of the intense spiritual waves. He simply covered him in the mustard-seed combat suit and Little Black, the mysterious “liquid crystal processor”, while he crouched in the middle of a medium-sized remnant and rushed to the edge of the Martial Meritocrats Sector.

There were thousands of such remnants in space right now. It would take Li Lingfeng at least a day and a night to scan each and every one of them.

Han Te, Liu Li, this is as far as I can help you!

Looking at the Land of Sins not far away, Li Yao had a lot of complicated feelings, which all turned into one blessing. I wish the best of luck for you and all the fellow Cultivators!

Realizing that he had been fooled, Li Lingfeng, who had burst into a fury, showed no intention of letting Li Yao go.

That did make sense. Li Yao had many secrets and even pointed out his relationship with Li Jialing. He was truly more valuable than Starlight.

Li Lingfeng, as expected, threw away the chaotic, unresolvable Land of Sins for now and summoned all the available forces to catch Li Yao.

However, he went in the wrong direction. He couldn’t have foreseen that, instead of running to the peripheral space zones of the Martial Meritocrats Sector, the guy had slightly adjusted the direction and moved to the ninth satellite of the fifth planet of the galaxy.

“Jingle Bell”, the most advanced stealth exploration starship of the Star Glory Federation, and the greatest reliance for Li Yao’s escape, was hidden right there!
