Chapter 2994 I Am The Best!
In the depths of the bumpy meteoroid, the place covered by shadows was as quiet as before, as if there were no one there.
Long Yangjun burst into fury and cursed, “Li Yao, stop hiding. I saw you clearly. You were crouching there suspiciously like a watermelon worm! What did you do? Did you think that I would let you go as long as you kept quiet? Stop dreaming. Half of today’s training was designed for you. Everybody wants to know how strong the legendary expert in the Soul Division Stage is!”
There was still no sound deep inside the meteoroid. If Long Yangjun’s electric eyes had not locked onto every crevice of the meteoroid and seen through the vague metal brilliance under the optical camouflage, Li Yao would’ve almost fooled him.
“Huh?”Long Yangjun stared at the crystal suit for a while and almost suspected that there was something wrong with her eyes. She saw that Li Yao was wriggling on all fours in the super-heavy crystal suit, trying to slip away right under her nose!
“You
!
Long Yangjun really didn’t know how to describe Li Yao’s wretchedness.
With a kick, Long Yangjun picked up a stone and threw it into the center of the meteoroid.
This time, Li Yao, who was wriggling and crawling, had to react.
He did not dodge. Instead, he extended two fingers and caught the stone that Long Yangjun threw at him casually. He smiled and said, “What are you doing? What are you doing? Can’t you let me take a rest?”“Finally not hiding anymore?”
Long Yangjun sneered, “What are you resting for? You didn’t even make a single move!”
“Ah… A few days ago, I was busy drafting plans for the capture and the exploration, including the formation of an entire team, the formation of non-combat professions such as archeologists, refiners, adventurers, doctors, and so on, the choice of starships, the draft of backup plans, and so on. What a busy schedule!”
Li Yao blinked his eyes and complained, “I’m so busy that my brain is about to break. No. My waist is about to dry up. No. My brain is about to dry up. I finally have a chance to catch my breath. Why won’t you let me go?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to let you go, but everybody else does.
Long Yangjun said, “You are the main force of the operation this time. It is not an exaggeration to say that the lives of countless people depend on you alone. Don’t you think that you should show off your capability and broaden our horizon?”
“Is it necessary?”
Li Yao said sincerely, “Look, the purpose of the training is to improve the understanding between the two parties and determine who is qualified to give orders in the operation, isn’t
it?
“Correct.”
Long Yangjun nodded. “So what?”
“Isn’t it settled then?”
Li Yao opened his hands and said, “You-you, Ding Lingdang, Li Jialing, Li Linghai, Yan Liren, Boss Bai, the boxing champion, and so on. Since your capability is the same, it’s only natural that you compete with each other to confirm your seats. But I am the one and only Soul Splitting Cultivator. I am the obvious best expert in the Pangu Universe. Besides, after so many attempts to save the world, I believe that you must’ve been convinced by my invincibility and obeyed my every command, haven’t you? Therefore, is there any need for me to join the chaotic battle?”
“…” Long Yangjun. “You don’t have anything to say, do you? I think the logic is perfect!”
“Maybe, you are in a higher level than us right now, but I think that many fellow Cultivators here have the capability and interest to kill super experts beyond their level without worrying about their level. In fact, we are all the kind of Cultivators who will become stronger when they meet a strong opponent. A battle against an old monster in the Divinity Transformation Stage might be the perfect opportunity to stimulate us to break our limits.
Long Yangjun smiled. “As you said just now, Ding Lingdang, Li Jialing, Li Linghai, Yan Liren, Boss Bai, the boxing champion, and, of course, me. We are both curious and unwilling. Is the so-called ‘distraction’ really so awesome?”
Before Long Yangjun finished his sentence, he extended his hand and snatched a meteoroid the size of a fist into his palm. He crushed it into powder. In the high-speed friction, a glittering arrowhead was formed and pointed at Li Yao.
“Li Yao is here!”
Long Yangjun’s telepathic thoughts spread to dozens of kilometers nearby through the spiritual waves.
For a moment, the melee of the experts came to an abrupt end.
It was not a life-and-death battle in the first place. They were merely trying to understand each other and improve their cooperation. Besides, either side was most interested in Li Yao.

After being woken up by Long Yangjun, the experts all felt that something was not right. Why did they forget Li Yao’s existence just now? It was quite odd. Right now, everybody was staring at the meteoroid that the flashing arrowhead pointed at.
Almost a hundred experts crowded around Li Yao simultaneously.
Sensing the overwhelming killing intent and the raging flames, Li Yao grimaced. “Are you serious? Even you are joining the fun?”
Li Yao looked at Li Jialing. “What grudge do we have?”
“Of course not. It’s just that you are the best expert in the Pangu Universe and the main force of the operation to capture and explore. If we are engaged in a fierce battle, we will have to count on you to uphold the dignity of the civilization of mankind.
Excitement beamed out of Li Jialing’s eyes. “I really admire you. Please show us your invincibility and give us more confidence!”
“And you!
Li Yao glared at Xiao Ming and Wen Wen, “Don’t tell me the two of you are going to be ganged up on? You will be struck by lightning!”
“According to our calculations, if we have a detailed understanding of our father’s capability before the operation, the success rate of the operation will be greatly improved.
Xiao Ming replied, “At least one to three percent!”
“What about you, honey?” Li Yao stared at Ding Lingdang and complained, “Even you want to join the gang fight?”
“I have faith in you. I believe that my husband is the strongest man in the entire universe. Even if all the deities and devils in the universe are resurrected, they will still be no match for you!”

Ding Lingdang waved her fists and shouted, “You haven’t reached your limits yet. Your potential hasn’t been exhausted yet. You can do it. Li Yao, unleash your greatest damage and knock us all down!”
“…” Li Yao.
“Well, I’ll be honest with you. I don’t have any good intentions. I don’t expect anything from you, either. I just want to beat you up with pure ill intentions. That’s all.”
“I’m not asking you!”
“It doesn’t matter. Are you ready? You have three seconds. We are coming!”
“Alright, in that case…”
Li Yao mumbled in a cynical tone, but the expression on his face gradually turned bloodthirsty. Ripples of fighting will were spreading out of his eyes, too. “Let me show you the fruits of my training in the three thousand Sectors!”
BOOM!
For a moment, the indestructible super-heavy crystal suit did not seem to be made of Li Yao’s flesh and blood, but a ton of crystal bombs that had been detonated.
AHHHHHHHHHH!
Li Yao roared earsplittingly. His voice was mixed with spiritual waves and stung the ears of every expert present despite the vacuum. Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
The super-heavy crystal suit suddenly expanded. The joints of all the moving parts could not withstand the terrifying explosive force and spurted out.
Then, even the composite plate armor was torn apart like paper and leather, turning into scrap iron and copper.
In less than 0.1 seconds, the super-heavy crystal suit was blown apart by Li Yao’s soaring spiritual flames.
It was as if the super-heavy crystal suit that could resist the frontal bombardment of the main gun of a starship did not improve Li Yao’s defense but became his shackles and burdens instead, a barrier that sealed his monstrous strength!
Right now, the barrier had been broken, and the seal had been broken. Li Yao’s terrifying capability in the Divinity Transformation Stage was unstoppable like a volcanic eruption!
His hunched and lazy body continued expanding until he was almost two meters tall. His muscles, veins, and nerves were gathered in the most perfect way. Although he was made of flesh and blood, he seemed to be made of thousands of blades, as if his every muscle fiber was a flying sword that could cut off the enemy’s crystal suit. “Do you know why I held back just now?”
Blood-red brightness was beaming out of Li Yao’s eyes. His voice suddenly turned vigorous and brutal. “It’s not because my back is sore, my legs are weak, I’m short of breath, I’m nervous, and I’m sweating in the middle of the night. It’s not because of the superficial reasons!
“But…
“A great war is coming. I really don’t want to hurt any of you right now and make it impossible for you to explore the mausoleum. That would be bad, wouldn’t it?
Hardly had his voice faded away when all the meteoroids within a dozen square kilometers were enveloped by Li Yao’s magnetic field and spiritual flames and exploded as if crystal bombs had been installed inside them.
The broken meteoroids were crushed into powder by Li Yao’s immense spiritual pressure and burnt by the high-speed friction. They turned into countless torrents of flames and congregated behind him, forming a vulture that was soaring and swallowing the world.
The wings of the vulture continued extending. Very soon, they turned into two fire walls more than ten kilometers long and smashed toward the experts, locking everybody inside! Illuminated by the stars, in the middle of the burning debris on the planetary ring, the bloodthirsty vultures gradually rose up. The hundred experts were all trapped in Li Yao’s domain. This small universe was the world where Li Yao reigned supreme!
