<h4>Chapter 2332 A Valiant Cultivator!</h4>
ckstar the Great was silent for a moment. Instead of denying it, he simply said, “I will certainly extinguish the savaging fire of the Covenant Alliance that has been on a rampage for a thousand years and save the Imperium and our civilization.”
Li Yao raised his voice and said, “What if you fail? What if your calction is wrong? It doesn’t matter if you are burned by the fire that you started, but everybody else will die with you too!”
“No ‘what if’!”
ckstar the Great roared, “Without me, the Imperium would still rot and decline gradually, and there would be no future for our civilization either! With that in mind, it is better to y a wild gamble! If you are sincerely considering the civilization of mankind, you should stand by my side!”
Holding back his humming eardrums, Li Yao gnashed his teeth. “Just because the Covenant Alliance and the four Kurfürst families aren’t anything decent does not mean that you are a savior of mankind! Old fart, I will never bend to a scumbag like you! You’ve beenpletely deranged!”
ckstar the Great burst intoughter. “I am not deranged; I am going to lead the civilization of mankind to stomp on all the deities and devils in the entire universe!”
“In your dream.”
Li Yao said brutally, “You already failed once a thousand years ago. Now, a thousand years have passed. Even if you can be splendid for a while, your enterprise will immediately fall apart after you kick the bucket one day. Your reign is consolidated purely through lies, violence, and schemes, which will only be destroyed by lies, violence, and schemes that are twice greater someday!”
With a mysterious smile, ckstar the Great extended his tentacles at Li Yao. “I already have a perfect solution to solve the problem of insubordination in the local areas once and forever. The Imperium will only be stronger and stronger even ten thousand yearster. Come on, join the side of the Immortal Cultivators, and I’ll certainly tell you my ‘ultimate n’!”
Solemnly, Li Yao turned it down on the spot. “Wuying Qi, just give it up. Those of different beliefs can never cooperate. I will not take your side ever. Just leave now. I don’t want to see you again!”
ckstar the Great was slightly dazed before he burst into fury and snapped, “You don’t know what you are doing. After a thousand years, you Cultivators are still as idiotic as before!”
“Hehe. Hahahahaha!”
Li Yao finally tore off all the camouges and burst into wildughter. “It is you who are really idiotic, old fart. It used to be ‘Vulture Li Yao’ who was deceived and stalled by the enemy in the past. Finally, it is my turn to buy myself enough time with empty talks!”
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when the bright gold mes around his Colossus became a hundred times more dazzling. It was almost bursting out nonstop like gold fireworks, illuminating the dark and thick water into a splendid pce!
In the most stunning view, the Gold Vulture’s feathers were erecting like unsheathed sabers and colliding with each other into the mostplicated and gorgeous patterns, as if countless eyes had been opened on the broad wings.
The saber that had already ripped apart countless crystal warships, enshrouded in the gold brilliance, seemed to have expanded by ten times all of a sudden. It was even more eye-catching than the Colossus itself!
Li Yao’s soul power was also increasing like a serial explosion.
All of ckstar the Great’s tentacles were straightened while he shrieked, “What exactly did you do?”
“Nothing important.”
With a miserable smile, Li Yao said casually, “I just swallowed more than three hundred dosages of strengthening drugs, almost draining the goods that Li Linghai offered to me. Then, with the strengthening drugs as catalysts, I...pletely unleashed my vitality and my soul power.
“It did take me some time to digest and absorb the three hundred dosages of strengthening drugs. That was why I talked to you for such a long time just now. Please do forgive me. Right now, I have been boosted in the unprecedented, strongest form. Let’s fight!”
“You—”
ckstar the Great said sullenly, “Swallowing more than three hundred strengthening drugs of the highest purity equals topletely burning up your soul. After the battle, you will be crippled if not killed immediately. Are you not scared?”
“Haha. Hahahaha. What’s scary about death? Does the so-called death not mean the reunion with my family and friends who perished on Firefly?”
Li Yaoughed in the despondent way but also with some eagerness. “After the Star Ocean Republic was destroyed in the internal strife on Firefly, my family and my friends were all killed in the catastrophe in the most ghastly way. Even I did something that I terribly regretted and could barely think aboutter!
“Escaping from the remains of Firefly and wandering in the sea of stars like a zombie, I did not know why I was still alive. I asked myself ten thousand times why I did not die together with my family and friends, and why I did... that thing like an animal!”
While he was talking, Li Yao was choked by his sobs, as if he could not go on anymore. With the relief that almost sounded like “everything is finally over now”, he chuckled and went on, “After I drifted to the Imperium and found Li Linghai, I fulfilled myst mission, and my life was no longer of any significance. But Li Linghai promised me that I could be given a world that ran ording to the rules of the Cultivators. It would be a small civilization of Cultivators.
“I was thinking of living for that purpose. It would also be repentance for what I did in the past.
“However, your appearance haspletely shattered my final hope again!
“Such a reality is just a hell for me, in which I am more miserable than being dead. Now that myst hope has been broken, I only want to die a hero’s death like a real Cultivator!
“Haha, speaking of which, I am truly fortunate. What befits a hero’s death more than fighting against ckstar the Great and causing him heavy wounds?”
ckstar the Great said coldly, “How little do you know yourself and me that makes you think you can cause me heavy wounds?”
“Cut the crap!”
Li Yaoughed aloud. “Don’t think that I can’t tell it. Despite the performance parameters of your Colossus and the astonishing forging work, it has just been through a fierce battle, and all the magical equipment units are seriously worn out. In order to disguise it, you have covered yourself with so much ink like an octopus, turning the environment murky and creepy. But you can never fool my eyes!
“As for yourself, you are nowhere near as strong as you were in your prime days. I must’ve overestimated you when I said that you recovered thirty percent of your strength!
“Also, controlling Li Linghai’s body as a remaining soules with a price, doesn’t it? A fierce battle in such a state must’ve caused severe damage to your remaining soul, possibly even resulting in sequ, right?
“Otherwise, how could you have tolerated me talking nonsense for such a long time without cutting me into pieces? Not just you, if I were in your shoes, I would’ve cut myself into pieces!
“Therefore, your camouge has been seen through, ckstar the Great. I will let you pay the greatest price even if I must die today. Your ambitions and your schemes will all be dragged into hell together with me, to be gone with thest Cultivator!”
Li Yao’s voices were like undercurrents below the ocean. They were even triggering thousands of dense bubbles in the dark gold water!
The indestructible saber inside the hands of his Colossus could not take in the explosive energy flowing in from Li Yao incessantly anymore. Thousands of cracks appeared on the surface, and it exploded entirely!
A shocking scene took ce. After exploding into hundreds of thousands of gold scraps, the saber was gathered again under the envelopment of Li Yao’s vitality field and smashed at “Hellstar” overwhelmingly in a gold torrent!
ckstar the Great sniffed. The hundred metal tentacles on “Hellstar” interwoven into an arc-shaped thatpletely stopped the gold torrent made of Li Yao’s broken saber!
Even if some of the scraps did prate through the metal, they were still devoured by the dark spiritual shield surrounding “Hellstar”!
The attack did not cause any damage to “Hellstar”.
Li Yao did not even blink, because he had seen iting. If ckstar the Great could be killed so easily, he wouldn’t have been qualified to be the ancestor of all Immortal Cultivators. The only reason he broke his saber tounch the attack was to buy him more time so that he could prepare for the tougher move.
When the gold aftermath of the attack gradually dispersed in the ck water, all the feathers on the two wings of the Gold Vulture that had been fully stretched out dashed out in gold brilliance. Drawing mysterious and uncanny curves, they condensed into swords and sabers in different shapes in the middle of the water.
Despite the pressure of the water that weighed billions of tons, all the swords and sabers were still roaring astoundingly. Li Yao also cried out, “Old fart, don’t ever forget my name. I am—Cultivator Li Yao!”
In the wildughter, heunched the final attack with the determination of a moth darting at a fire.
The mainframe crystal processor of “Hellstar” shrieked crazily, and ckstar the Great’s eyes were alsopletely upied by the furiously burning gold brilliance.
“... Unreasonable Cultivators.”
Mumbling, he frowned and slightly retreated.
The Cultivators a thousand years ago and those a thousand yearster were no different. They were all fond of proving themselves with death. While Li Yao’s final attack that was exchanged with his life and soul was vehement, it was not aimed at the target urately. There was no need for ckstar the Great to have a head-on sh with such a man who was seeking death.
It was not until the hundred gold swords and sabers brushed past him that he vaguely sensed the differences between the hundred torrents and real attacks. His pupils were constricted to the minimum.
Wait. Why was the enemy’s attack which was earned with his life not half as powerful as it looked? Not good!
When ckstar the Great’s sharp eyes tore apart the gold water before him, he immediately saw that, under the disguise of the so-called “final attack”, Li Yao was fleeing as fast as he could inside the Gold Vulture!
It was rather incredible. Li Yao’s escape was as smooth and seamless as the flowing mercury on the ground, and his routes were utterly random and unpredictable. The moment the hundred swords and sabers wereunched, he had already dashed to more than ten kilometers away in the heavy water. His fluent movements were truly enjoyable and impressive!
“Cultivator Li Yao!”
ckstar the Great was dumbfounded at first, but he soon burst into fury and shouted at Li Yao with his telepathic thoughts, “Were you not going to die a hero’s death? But you are—running!”
“Who says that I’m running?”
Rushing at the highest speed, Li Yao threw back a telepathic thought without turning around. “I am clearly going to ambush you from your back after I circle the whole at a lightning-like speed. This is actually my ultimate skill. Just stand there and wait if you are a real man!”
