Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

BOOM!

‘When Li Yao realized that, earthshaking noises echoed in the engine compartment at the back of ‘Ultimate Rescue’.

The spiritual shield collapsed like a dam that had been hit by a flood. The data streams were burning like out-of-control flames. All the data flowing in the Spiritual Nexus indicated that the flagship of the fleet of the Fuxis was being attacked by the defenders crazily.

Of the thousands of crystal brains floating in the middle of the cockpit, dozens, if not hundreds, finally exploded after cracking noises. Some of them fell to the ground, while others simply exploded in midair. The broken pieces were flying everywhere in glittering arcs.

Even the Dharma Idols of the five supreme masters seemed to have been heavily wounded. They grunted and dimmed down.

It turned from a crystal clear image into an unpredictable smoke.

At first glance, both the Great Master and the ‘Fuxi System’ were at their weakest.

But now that Li Yao had seen through the enemy’s loopholes, his soul was naturally able to dissect the illusions and find the truth that had been hidden for a long time.

Explosions could be faked. Things such as the abrupt collapse of the spiritual shield or the damage to the starship could be simulated by tampering and distorting the data.

Like Li Yao, Lu Qingchen could only read the data that the enemy offered to him.

Li Yao was a spectator who could see everything clearly, but Lu Qingchen was in the middle of a foggy mountain. How could he see the whole picture of the mountain?

Those who were good at swimming were drowned. For a mental attack expert who was good at creating illusions like Lu Qingchen, wouldn’t he be trapped in the more advanced illusions, virtual data, and mental attacks?

While Li Yao was sighing silently, Lu Qingchen’s Ultimate Virus was finally activated.

A moment ago, his soul had been tortured and torn apart like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. But the moment Ultimate Rescue and the Dharma Idols of the five supreme masters were seriously wounded, his soul turned into a nest of hungry vipers that had woken up from

hibernation. The tentacles that looked like black venom immediately expanded, slithered, and tangled. Not only did they bind the thousands of crystal brains in midair and trigger the outbreak of the virus inside them, they also tied up the Dharma Idols of the five supreme masters and pierced into them

deeply.

“What’s wrong? Is your attack blocked?”

Lu Qingchen’s soul was rippling crazily. He grinned hideously. “Let me give you a hand!”

He was like a black hole that was devouring the information and data of the ‘Fuxi System’ and the five supreme masters greedily and crazily spraying his virus into the crystal processors and the images.

In less than half a second, not only was his soul restored to its original appearance, he was also covered in a layer of delicate black armor, which was surrounded by intense devil flames. The devil flames turned into tentacles and claws, burning and savaging as much as possible. The ‘Fuxi System’ and the

five masters of kindness were all played with and savaged.

“What?”

None of the five masters seemed to have expected that Lu Qingchen, the puppet king, would choose such a critical moment to launch an attack, nor did they expect that such a sharp ultimate virus was hiding in the depths of his broken soul. Their Dharma Idols were ‘blackening’, and ugly black spots and

‘mold’ were appearing on them. Their strength was quickly drained by Lu Qingchen!

“You didn’t see it coming, did you? This is the real strength of human beings!

Lu Qingchen burst into laughter, enjoying the satisfaction of having five supreme masters suppressed by him. “Such strength is something that you self-degrading puppets can never understand or defeat!

“Therefore, don’t resist. Don’t struggle. Contribute all your strength to me. Hand over the control of the ‘Fuxi System’ to me. Transfer your loyalty to the so-called ‘gods’ to me. There are no gods in this world worthy of your worship at all. If you have to choose one, I, ‘Lu Qingchen’, am more qualified to

receive your loyalty than the deities in the universe!

“Hehe. Look at you. You are sitting on such an enormous and advanced fleet of the Fuxi fleet, and you are faced with a great civil war of the Imperium of True Human Beings. There are ten thousand strategies to choose from, but you’ve chosen the most idiotic one, which is ‘assault on the capital city’. I

don’t know what’s left in your empty head except for the bullsh*t ‘best path’. It’s a shame that the fleet of the Fuxi fleet is in your hands. Perishing together with the Empyrean Terminus Sector is your limit!

“Give it to me. Give me the fleet of the Fuxis. Give me the entire Holy Alliance. I can use it to unite the civilization of mankind and lead our civilization forward at a hundred times the speed of light. Forward, forward, and forward! In only a hundred years, our civilization has evolved into the perfect

ultimate form. Nothing can stop us! Even if the primeval gods and devils wake up, they will be minced into meat under the hooves of the subway!

“Forget it. Talking to you five blockheads right now is like playing the lute to a cow. Hehe. When my virus completely occupies your brain and your soul completely melds with mine, bathing in the radiance of my belief, you will awaken your true humanity, understand your destiny, and create a new

future!”

In his crazed shouts, Lu Qingchen unleashed his deformed, evil, and powerful soul to the limit.

The venom turned into hideous vipers, the vipers turned into furious flames, and the flames congregated into surging black tides, which spread to ‘Ultimate Rescue’, the five supreme fortresses, and the entire fleet of the Fuxi Clan like the upgraded version of the Black Wind Fleet that he corrupted in the

Star Glory Federation.

Of course, the core of his soul would be exposed to the five great masters and the ‘Fuxi System’.

Infection and erosion, or rather, integration, were two-way.

It all depended on whose will, belief, and computational ability were stronger.

Li Yao had the feeling that he was hiding under a rock on the seashore and listening to the thunder and lightning that were about to collapse.

“Impressive as expected!”

“If the ‘corrosive force’ can be quantified, Lu Qingchen’s efficiency in corrupting the fleet of the Fuxis is at least ten times higher than when he corrupted the Black Wind Fleet!

“In just a few years, what kind of fortuitous encounter did he have to be able to have such an appalling fortune?

“Even if the five masters of wisdom did set up a trap, would they have been able to capture such a crazy, brutal Lu Qingchen?”

Li Yao had been planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. He even felt sorry for Lu Qingchen’s ending. But Lu Qingchen’s valiance and fury were beyond his expectation, which made him uncertain again.

As if to prove his ‘uncertainty’, the five masters of the utmost kindness did not have the ability to resist Lu Qingchen’s tyranny at all. They were minced and swallowed by him one by one. Very soon, they were all absorbed into his soul!

The crystal brains that carried the ‘Fuxi System’ turned black, too. They were directly controlled by Lu Qingchen’s soul and became his ‘neurons’.

For a moment, Lu Qingchen’s soul power and computational ability were expanding exponentially. They were soaring and breaking the limits of limits!

ant”

He exclaimed in satisfaction as if he had swallowed the most excellent stimulant.

“Our battle plan seems to need some minor adjustments.

Li Yao’s soul was almost frozen into a rock. He said to the mental devil in a low voice, “I think that a man should know when to yield and when to stand tall. In fact, we should make a strategic retreat for now. When we unite the strength of more compatriots and comrades, we can capture Lu Qingchen, the

unpardonable devil, and drag him back to the federation for a just trial. It’s not a bad idea. After all, individualism is not something that can be pursued. Battles should be fought together, right?”

“Right your ass!”

The mental devil was rather disappointed. “Keep your ears open. Alright. If you don’t have any, release your telepathic thoughts and check if there is anything wrong with your surroundings!”

“What do you mean?”

Li Yao was dazed for a moment.

But then, he realized what was going on even before he sent out the telepathic thought.

Silence. The silence was extremely weird.

‘Ultimate Rescue’ had just been caught in the most intense bombardment. Its spiritual shield had collapsed. Explosions were taking place one after another. The other starships of the Fuxi fleet were struggling in the meteor shower, too. At least, that was what the data and information from the outside

world indicated.

But right nowy, in the 0.1 seconds after Lu Qingchen swallowed the phantoms of the five supreme masters, all the attacks, explosions, blasts, and data were gone.

They were as quiet as cruising in a long-abandoned graveyard.

The Empyrean Terminus Sector, the guardians of the imperium, the torrent of destruction, the burning crystal suits and the exploding starships, the apocalyptic battle… Everything was gone.

‘Ultimate Rescue’ had tumed into a frozen iron coffin. Every data interface connected to the space battle network had been turned off. Even Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts could not escape and were sealed inside the flagship of the fleet.

Lu Qingchen’s crazy laughter came to an abrupt end.

He finally realized the weird silence, too.

The black tide, the devil flames, the tentacles, the armor, and his soul started shivering.

“What’s going on? How is it possible?”

Lu Qingchen mumbled to himself. The craziness in his soul was not gone yet, but confusion was flooding into his mind.

“Is this the bottom-level data hidden in the deepest part of your soul? It is indeed interesting.”

At this moment, a stream of information flowed out of the core database of the ‘Fuxi System’ deep inside the brains that had been corrupted by darkness.

The darkness split. The devil fire dispersed. The crystal brain shook and crashed like wind chimes. A pure, flawless light spot flew out like a firefly..
