Chapter 664: Strengthened Mystic Skeleton


    Trantor: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97


    The incident of nearly getting mentally deranged in front of the headquarters of the Glorious Sunlight Group gave Li Yao a deeper understanding about the source of his strength. Therefore, he did not waste a single second in the Glorious Sunlight Group but went to a training chamber that Wu Zhengyang specially prepared for him.


    However, there was one ce that he had to visit.


    Half a dayter, outside the Floating Orchid Domain, inside a secret dock in space, there were five seemingly-identical in carriers.


    The leftmost one was rusted and riddled with dents resulting from collisions with meteoroids. It was Sparkle, which had been deeply modified.


    Standing before the control panel of Sparkle, Li Yao watched the performance parameters that were rushing down like a waterfall on the disy light beam in surprise.


    ording to the parameters, Sparkle had a far stronger firepower than crystal warships of the same value. After tremendous modifications without caring about the cost, it also boasted an engine system that was more powerful than many main force crystal warships.


    A great lotive dragging a small cart. Sparkle might not have been the strongest crystal warship of the Flying Star Sector, but it definitely ran faster than any other starship.


    Withplicated feelings, Li Yao observed, "We''ve made tremendous progress over the past two years!"


    Mo Xuan and the other spectral Cultivators were standing behind him.


    The five of them had all upied artificial bodies, but their bodies looked more like octopi than humans.


    Their cylindric torsos were surrounded by more than ten extendable artificial arms which were waving crazily, allowing them to manipte twenty control light beams and make adjustments ording to thousands of pieces of data simultaneously.


    After a long sigh, Mo Xuan said, "We thought everything would be gone when the crystal reactor exploded. We did not expect that we would be reborn in such a way and even granted with… unbelievable abilities."


    Mo Xuan waved his hands softly. The ''Four Kings'' gloated and suddenly inserted their artificial arms into the control panel. Then, four clusters of blinking silver liquid metal crawled into the crystal processor along the artificial arms like four silver snakes.


    In a moment, the performance parameters on the light beam bounced crazily. It was further increased by arge extentpared to a while ago.


    Then, the numbers ovepped and interweaved into four vivid faces that were grimacing at Li Yao.


    Mo Xuan exined, "Our life form right now is very different from normal spectral Cultivators. It is safe to say that we are abination of a ghost and a mainframe crystal processor!


    "By ident, we discovered that, other than controlling the mainframe crystal processor of Sparkle, we are even able to manipte other crystal processors freely at will!


    "Our souls can be circuited with tens or even dozens ofrge crystal processors. Our capability will be significantly increased with theputational ability of the crystal processors!


    "It was exactly based on such an amazing ability that the five of us finished the preliminary modification of Sparkle in only one year and made it the most mysterious, fastest assault warship that boasts the most advanced stealth ability in the Flying Star Sector.


    "It is also why we couldplete the deep modification of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit!


    "Come here!"


    Mo Xuan smiled at Li Yao. "I know that you can''t wait for it anymore!"


    …


    In the secret workshop at the center of Sparkle, there was a giant cylindrical tank that was filled with thick, bright gold liquid. Ripples were spreading out on the surface of the liquid, as if a sleeping ferocious beast was breathing peacefully.


    Waving his artificial arms, Mo Xuan quickly operated the light beam.


    After a crisp sound, the gate below the tank was opened, and the bright gold liquid was gradually extracted.


    Soon, a tall armor in the shape of a human was revealed. Gold dew was shimmering on the te, reflecting morous colors.


    Li Yao found it hard to breathe, and his hands were tremoring beyond his control.


    The newborn Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit left him with the impression that it was not a cold crystal suit but a living devil!


    The crystal suit was still pure ck. But it was not the ck of the night sky, not the ck of an abyss, but more like the ck of an expanding ckhole that was absorbing all surrounding light and vision. The less determined people would inevitably have the illusion that the crystal suit was growing and swallowing everything nearby.


    The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit in the past was embedded with abundant body materials of Skeleton Dragon and the scraps of ancient magical equipment from forty thousand years ago that it had looted.


    Also, Li Yao had brought a lot of trophies from the battles against the apocalypse, including the remains of his ''Apocalyptic Extension'', to Mo Xuan.


    After half a year''s refinement, all the materials had been perfectlybined. The crystal suit seemed naturally-made and showed no hint of being an amalgamation of so many materials whatsoever.


    The surface of the ck armor did not reflect any light. But when Li Yao closed his eyes and perceived the crystal suit with his spiritual threads, he could vaguely ''see'' the flowing gold brilliance that looked like shing dragon scales behind the ckness, as well as the undissolving color of blood in the deepest part of the gold brilliance.


    The helmet of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was perfectly arced and looked like a waterdrop. Three red crystal cameras were embedded to the upper half of the facial cover in the shape of a downward-pointing triangle. Other than that, there was no redundant paint or decoration. The simplicity of the crystal suit adorned it with an awe-inspiring beauty.


    Li Yao stuck his right hand to the tank softly.


    The sleeping Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit slightly shivering. Roars of the dragon were echoing from the inside of the crystal suit, as if a sword was about to be unsheathed.


    Li Yao felt that the ss tank had be burning iron nks that had melted his fingers. Five hot streams flooded into his heart from his fingertips. His heart was beating faster and faster and was about to burst out of his chest into the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.


    "Are you satisfied?" Mo Xuan smiled. "To realize the designs that you desired, especially the one regarding the embedded sheath on the back of the crystal suit, we ran so manyputations that twenty-three super crystal processors exploded!"


    Li Yao gave no response and simply gazed at the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.


    At that moment, he would not have bothered to move his eyes even if a star was exploding next to him.


    …


    An hourter, ten thousand meters away from Sparkle, a ragged crystal warship sailed slowly in the universe.


    The starship was seriously wrecked during an assault of space pirates and was beyond repair. It was then modified into a target starship by Mo Xuan and his team.


    By remote control, they activated the spiritual shield and the defensework of the starship. A hundred beast puppets were ced inside each cabin of the starship, too.


    "It has been a long time, old friend!"


    A ck lightning suddenly shed in front of Sparkle and blended in with the dark universe in the next second. Weird ck waves covered the distance of ten thousand meters in the blink of an eye and appeared in front of the target ship!


    Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi!


    A colorful, dazzling air defense fire was interweaved around the target ship.


    The streaks of ckness turned into a cluster of raging ck mists and passed through the instantly like a drop of water. Then, it drilled into the thick armor of the target ship like a scorching needle!


    Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha!


    Inside the target ship, all the beast puppets sensed the arrival of an intruder.


    Organized by the telepathic thoughts that were input previously, they crowded toward the cabin that the intruder had barged into.


    The intruder did not stop at all. He crouched and lunged out, turning into a streak of ckness again and going on a rampage in the narrow cabins.


    Passing by several beast puppets, the intruder waved his hands casually, and several streams of ck fog darted out. The beast puppets were immediately frozen as if a spell had been cast upon them.


    A momentter, after a ''hu'' sound, they copsed to the ground and broke into the most fundamentalponents.


    BOOM!


    The intruder elerated again. Wreathed in weird materials that looked both like liquid and gas, he blew up several decks and charged at the enginepartment, the center of the target ship.


    "Come on out, ck Wing!"


    For the sake of heat dissipation, the enginepartment was usually thergest cabin on a starship.


    After he reached the ce, a ck flying sword suddenly appeared in front of the intruder.


    The flying sword seemed to be made of an intact ck jade. It was transparent, warm, and smooth. Inside the body of the sword that seemed to be filled with gels, ck threads, which looked like capiry vessels, were shivering as if they were alive.


    This was thetest form of ck Wing after it absorbed countless high-quality crystals!


    ck Wing roared and, hovering in midair briefly, darted into the embedded sheath in the center of the back of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. It was neatly fixed to the sheath without the tiniest gap.


    ck Wing seemed to have be the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit''s ''spine''. The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, which had already been daunting enough, spurted out thousands of streams of ck gas.


    Motivated by Li Yao''s surging spiritual energy and manipted by his spiritual root, the intense ck gas was condensed to his back on the two sides of ck Wing. It was continuouslypressed and condensed into new forms.


    "Ahhh!"


    Li Yao unleashed the terrifying strength of the supetive height of the Building Foundation Stage with absolutely no concerns. The ck gas gradually formed six wings behind the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit!


    BOOM!


    The six wings looked like burning ck torches. The longest two were more than twenty meters, and the shortest two were almost ten meters. They made the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit even more like an unstoppable devil walking on the earth!


    Shua!


    Behind the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, a red cloak of light mes hovered and extended to almost a hundred meters away like a dragon soaked in blood!


    This is the source of my strength!


    Clenching his fists, Li Yao savored the satisfaction when the strength of his every cell was fully unleased and significantly enhanced by the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit!


    Although the barrier on ck Wing was not cracked yet, and it could not be used as a weapon directly, Li Yao had redesigned the back of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit andbined ck Wing into it.


    With the hardness and speed of ck Wing, it would not only greatly increase the general toughness of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit but also allow the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit to surpass its speed limits time and time again!


    Fengyu Zhong? The Temple of Immortals? Immortal Cultivators?


    Li Yao roared and dashed at the high-pressure crystal reactor like a ck spear after pping the six ck wings!


    …


    Inside Sparkle, the five spectral Cultivators were monitoring Li Yao''s field test wholeheartedly.


    The hundred light spots on the light beam that represented the beast puppets died down quickly one after another, like an area of candles that had been swept over by a furious wind.


    Suddenly, the remaining twenty light spots were gone in the same second!


    On the light beam, an orange fireball appeared in the middle of the target ship and tore it in half instantly.


    Like metastasizing cancer, the fireball consumed the broken target ship.


    On the light beam nearby, a glittering number was jumping continuously, shocking the five spectral Cultivators.


    "From the beginning of the test to the time when he blew up a starship, it only took…


    "79 seconds!"
