Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

With every broken gene strand, Long Yangjun seemed to be given a piece of new strength. The humanity in her eyes gradually faded, and the nonchalance and solemnity of the gods were surfacing drop by drop!

“Is this what you want? Then, come on and get a taste of the primeval horror!”

She mumbled in inhuman voices as the last part of her black hair turned into brilliant clusters of crystals.

Her Colossus that had lost both legs and one arm floated in the midair under the support of the anti-gravity rune arrays. Sharp thorns of crystals were also protruding while it was trembling weirdly. At the sharp tips of the crystals, weird brilliance was dazzling and stirring the air around into colorful swirls.

The Colossi of the three Immortal Cultivators also opened the protective plates of the power units to increase the power output. The exhaust flames were scorching and boiling the air around them, making them look somewhat unreal. The ground below their feet was falling apart in cracking noises as it could not bear the unparalleled pressure that they blew out anymore.

The four Colossi were all ready for a final battle.

At this moment, the whole air in the Great Iron Plants seemed to have been burnt up by the four Colossi. Everybody felt that their mouth was dry, their nose was stifled, and their upper lip was wet. When they touched their upper lips, they found that the wetness was caused by their nosebleed!

Right then—

“Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi was standing at the northwest corner of the triangular siege. Not far away behind him, it was the magma well of the geothermal factory.

The well that directly led to the fiery mother lodes was the source of power for the entire Great Iron Plants. Before, it had been sealed and suppressed tightly by rune arrays to ensure that the spiritual energy could be output steadily and consecutively.

But at this moment, the roars of primeval beasts that had just been woken up were echoing from the magma well. Dozens of streams of magma redder than blood had broken the rune arrays and the seals, erupting skyward unstoppably!

“What?!”

All the crystals around Long Yangjun were constricting violently. Ever since her primeval memories were awakened, she had only experienced such violent outbreaks of spiritual energy twice so far, and the first time was when she encountered Blackstar the Great!

“What?!”

Li Jialing sensed that the strength of the Imperial Fire Pearl inside his body was seething in impatience, as if it were attracted by the strength of the same type, which made him stand on his feet slowly again. While panting, he stared at the magma well in disbelief!

“What?!”

Xu Zhicheng and the workers naturally couldn’t tell what strength it was exactly. They only sensed that a destructive thunder was quickly gathering in the underground world. Even though they were multiple kilometers away, the strands of hair on their heads were still erecting, with static electricity wandering on their heads. Their skin was so dry that it was spluttering. Everybody had a numb feeling, as if they had fallen into a dream.

“What?!”

The three experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage, Yue Wushuang, Li Jianyi, and Song Huanzhen, were greatly shocked. Right now, the fierce battle between Blackstar the Great and the four Kurfürst families on the surface of the planet was still going on. Blackstar the Great and most of the forces of the reformists were required on the main battlefield. So, they were the only three Divinity Transformation Stage experts who had been sent to hunt Li Yao and Long Yangjun and to catch Li Jialing alive.

Who exactly had unleashed such violent, massive, and invincible strength deep inside the magma?

A weird scene happened!

The erupting magma seemed to be under the control of a certain force field and was condensed into dozens of fierce fiery snakes in midair before they were thrown at “Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi’s Colossus!

“Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi had increased his wariness to the maximum the moment the magma broke out. His Colossus was as agile as an autumn leaf in the wind although it was dozens of meters tall when it blinked to the right side swiftly, dodging the attack of the fiery snakes perfectly.

But little did he expect that it was just a distraction. While everyone’s attention was drawn by the splendid outbreak of magma, several metal tentacles dug out from magma well, the forsaken tubes, and even the crevices like sordid vipers and snuck stealthily until they leapt up at the last moment, tying the right leg of “Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi and pulling him into the magma well!

“Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi had been rather cautious and did not leave any opportunity for Long Yangjun to ambush him when he moved and surrounded the enemy, but he was simply too close to the magma well with his back against it in the beginning. Who could’ve thought that there was such a shameless and yet strong enemy that was lurking in the sweltering magma the whole time?

The violent magma that was extremely violent by itself because of the fiery spiritual energy it contained was the best disguise. The enemy could totally power the Colossus to the maximum in the magma before launching the attack.

“Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi was a Meditation Healer who was not adept at melee battles. Also, as an old man of the same age as “Silver Fox” Li Jiande, he had lost a lot of his physical strength, sensitivity, and spiritual energy reserve. Now that he was pulled heavily, he was about to be snatched into the magma well without giving any resistance.

“Watch out!”

“Star Breaker” Song Huanzhen roared. Three sword auras were unleashed from her Colossus and slashed at the metal tentacles as quickly as bolts of lightning.

It was a shame that Long Yangjun had already realized something when she saw the appearance of the metal tentacles. Her eyes immediately widened and were filled with complicated feelings again when they were cold and inhuman a moment ago. She cursed with all the strength she had, “A*shole! You’ve been hiding and watching the show the whole time!”

When she shouted “a*shole”, her Colossus had already accelerated and crashed into “Star Breaker” Song Huanzhen’s Colossus from inside a streak of brightness, deviating the three sword auras from their course, exactly like how Song Huanzhen disrupted her attack just now.

Song Huanzhen’s astonishing sword auras missed the target and eventually chopped the rocks several kilometers away.

“Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi also struggled hard to break the wretched metal tentacles.

It was a shame that there were more and more metal tentacles, and they were tighter and tighter. Also, the sharp thorns that had pierced into his plate armor deeply seemed to also boast a certain weird corrupt force, which was hacking the control system of his Colossus as quickly as a bolt of lighting and trying to deprive him of the permissions to use the Colossus!

“This is impossible!”

“Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi was almost scared out of his wits, especially when he recognized the metal tentacles.

Having participated in the battle underneath the royal palace in person, he could tell after the first look that those metal tentacles were parts of Li Linghai—no, Wuying Qi’s unique Colossus “Hellstar”.

How was it possible?

Hardly had the thought flashed in his head when he was dragged into the surging magma together with his Colossus!

The rumbling thunders deep inside the magma well were immediately ten times more violent than before, mixed with the cracking noises of metal fractures. It was almost like a metal beast a hundred kilometers long was enjoying a great meal.

The magma that spurted out just now was as red as blood, but it soon became variegated, as if it had been mixed with abundant suspicious metal particles, until in the end, it became shiningly gold, as if a tiny man-made sun was rising in the underground world!

From the solar brilliance, gigantic broken limbs were being tossed out nonstop like twisted worms with magma splashing out while they hit the ground, unable to maintain the original shape anymore and reduced to melted metal craps. Everybody observed them carefully, only to discover that they were actually the limbs of “Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi’s Colossus!

The limbs of the Colossus had been torn apart by brute force and thrown out from the depths of the magma!

If the limbs had all been broken, then—

Everybody focused their eyes on the magma well. As they expected, only half a second later, the torso of the miserable Colossus that had lost the limbs was spurted out too.

At this moment, “Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi seemed to still be alive. He was still controlling the power units on the back of the Colossus’ torso, hoping to trigger ten thousand exhaust flames and get away from the terror.

But a streak of gold darting out of the magma well pierced into the back of his Colossus and out of the chest, directly destroying the spiritual residence. “Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi had probably been blown into a pulp too.

The power rune arrays on the Colossus that was on the verge of destruction all dimmed and fizzled out.

A brand-new Colossus, from which infinite magma and fire were flowing, as if it had been born at the deepest level of hell, was rising slowly.

“This is—”

Everybody on the spot, from the experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage to the common workers, gasped hard, their mind occupied by the appalling Colossus. From the head all the way to the arc-shaped armor on the back, metal tentacles were waving crazily. Every tentacle was like a venomous dragon that boasted life and independent will. Opening the sucking discs at the Immortal Cultivators around, they revealed the circular sawtooth inside in malicious brilliance.

The three metal faces on the shoulders and the abdomen seemed to be changing together with the boost of spiritual energy, letting out blood-boiling roars.

A crescent saber, made of ten thousand wings that were as thin as paper, was now dispersing and now gathering, hovering around the Colossus spectacularly.

The golden brilliance that pierced through “Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi’s Colossus, on the other hand, was a straight longsword, which was now being grasped by the mysterious and powerful Colossus and unleashing overwhelming flames of spiritual energy that flooded into the debris.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

Thousands of sparks were immediately spurting out of the cracks on “Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi’s Colossus. Even if Li Jianyi survived just now, he would certainly have been burnt into ashes at this moment, as dead as one could’ve been.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

The mysterious Colossus retreated the longsword, but the metal tentacles on the back simply moved forward and tore the burning Colossus into pieces!

The thousands of pieces fell out, along with the soul-stirring battle hymn from hell. It was truly a violent rhythm that could shake the underground apart. With that as the background, the “Arsonist”, the Colossus made of infinite fire, had finally arrived!
