Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

BOOM!

Along with Li Yao’s roar, the output power of the ‘Arsonist’ increased again, far beyond its capacity. Dozens of flames that looked like wings spurted out of his back. The crimson flames were raging, as if he were declaring war on an ancient giant that was right in front of him.

The downward momentum of Iron Fist was indeed suppressed by Li Yao alone. The new arsenal warship was even rising higher and higher, driven by the ‘incendent’, trying to get rid of the terrifying gravity trap!

Pu!

Such an unbelievable technique naturally required a high price. Li Yao felt that countless high-energy particle streams and invisible electric arcs were shooting at him from the atmosphere of the ancient star. They pierced through the giant soldier and his chest, burning his internal organs and making him vomit a mouthful of black blood.

But he continued resisting the gravity of the planet and raised Iron Fist by an inch, an inch, and another inch!

“Li Yao…”

“Vulture…”

“Black Wind King…”

Everybody on Iron Fist knew that Li Yao had come to the rescue by himself. They were all dazed for a moment when they saw the intimidating figure of the arsonist through the monitoring crystal cameras.

Especially the astronomers and spiritual energy researchers from the Imperium of True Human Beings.

In the imperium where the strong were respected, although the non-battle-type Immortal Cultivators could reach the Nascent Soul Stage and enjoy a certain social status, they had never dared to hope that a battle-type Immortal Cultivator would rescue them at the critical moment.

“Why?”

Many Immortal Cultivators were confused. “Why would they sacrifice their ‘important’ lives to save insignificant people such as themselves?”

In any case, before the question was answered, hot streams were already flowing out of the deepest part of their hearts and flowing through their bodies, triggering every cell in their body and releasing the heat from their pores.

“Even Li Yao has dedicated himself to the battle. We must not admit defeat! So what if the ancient star is strong? At least for now, we are still alive. If we are alive, we will fight without stopping. Fellow Cultivators, let’s fight until the last moment in our posts!”

The Fist King’s roar that was as hard as steel also sounded the horn to charge deep inside Iron Fist.

A shocking scene played out.

Faced with the enormous planet that was about to crush them, everybody was not scared at all. Taking a deep breath, they released the most brilliant brilliance of their belief and gave them endless courage and strength.

Dragging their wounded bodies, the astronomers rushed to the front of the crystal processor and released probe balls into the methane atmosphere of the ancient star. They seized the remaining time to collect and analyze the data inside the gas planet and infer whether or not it boasted a liquid layer or even a dense solid core.

In the meantime, the spiritual energy scientists captured the super radiation and high-energy particle streams released by the ancient giants and analyzed the lightning and thunder in the methane atmosphere, trying to find the pattern of the furious magnetic field so that they could ‘conquer’ the ancient giants.

The best medical specialists of mankind, on the other hand, focused their attention on the patients and even inserted sharp examination chips into their bodies.

As the radiation grew stronger and the gravity became higher and higher, they recorded a series of detailed data of their own slow failure and death. Such data would certainly be of great benefit for the future human beings to survive and fight in high-gravity and super-strong environments.

In the meantime, the warriors put on their crystal suits, picked up the materials for repairing and strengthening, and rushed out of the cabins to reinforce the broken shell of Iron Fist. They were trying to buy more time in front of the chainsword wielded by the grim reaper so that more plug-in auxiliary power units would be connected.

“Li Yao, let us help you!”

Many warriors lunged to Li Yao’s side and extended their arms, too. They embedded themselves into the shell of Iron Fist and boosted the power output of the crystal suit to the maximum, providing a small, feeble, upward, and bright force for Iron Fist.

“Li Yao, we’ve done everything we could. Now, let’s see if more people will help us!”

The boxing champion mumbled.

“It will. It will. Believe in me. Believe in mankind. Believe in the future. Believe in hope!”

Li Yao’s teeth were ground again, but the smile on his face was so bright that they seemed to be burning. “It is our duty to fight until the moment of hope comes!

BOOM!

The crazy overloading finally triggered the consequences. One of the power units on the back of the arsonist suddenly exploded into a giant fireball surrounded by electric arcs. One of the wings made of flames was immediately broken.

The imbalance of the impetus caused Iron Fist to lean to the right. The screeching noises of metal fatigue were more piercing than ever. Visible cracks appeared on the shell of the starship. Pushed by the imbalance of pressure inside and outside, a lot of materials and fuel spurted out like blood.

If such a gap was not fixed in time, it was very likely that it would expand until the entire starship was cut in half.

“Hurry up and repair it!”

Countless screams burst out inside the crystal suits. All the crew members rushed to the crevice, trying to block it with their flesh and blood.

“They will come… they will come… they will come… they will definitely come!”

Li Yao’s eyes were bloodshot, and he was almost shedding tears of blood. His lips were torn apart by the sharp teeth, and his blood was flowing to his chest, which was fluctuating fast. His brain cells were almost exploding. He calculated the new dynamic balance posture after he lost a power point and tried to resist Iron Fist again.

However, the attraction force of the ancient star was too strong. He felt that the Iron Fist on his shoulder was getting heavier and heavier, as if a real planet was pressing on his shoulder.

“Even if a real planet falls, I will still push you back!

Li Yao roared and exerted his strength again to fight against the planets, the world, and the universe!

At this moment, the entire universe seemed to have collapsed and turned into an empty battlefield. The only thing left was the tug-of-war between him and the ancient star.

Just as his consciousness was becoming more and more fuzzy and his entire body was gradually sinking, a sharp roar pierced through his brain.

“Li Yao, what are you doing exactly? Why didn’t you tell me you were going to take the risk?”

It was not the boxing champion’s voice, but Ding Lingdang’s.

Was it an auditory hallucination?

“You are playing with your own life without my permission. You are getting more and more unbelievable!”

No. It was not an illusion. It was indeed a voice from the communication channel. The communication distance of the Giant God Soldier was limited. Since he could hear Ding Lingdang’s voice so clearly, it meant that she must be very close!

Li Yao was wild with joy. He was practically dancing with joy as he shouted at the top of his voice, disregarding everything:

“Honey, help me!”

“Honey, help me!”

“Honey, come and save me!”

Ding Lingdang appeared in the Red Fire Dragon

King.

Boss Bai showed up in a ‘thief’.

Long Yangjun appeared in the Heaven Crystal.

Yan Liren and the experts of the Ancient Saint World, as well as Li Yao’s senior brothers ‘Peng Hai’, as well as Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun, all appeared in the sky of the furious atmosphere of the ancient star. Their sharp eyes pierced into the depths of the planet where the lightning and the red spots were raging.

What a furious magnetic field and ionosphere. It seems that the main elements that make up the ancient giants must contain several kinds of highly-radiating crystals in order to turn the atmosphere of the planet into a swirl of fury and chaos.

Boss Bai said.

“Iron Fist has fallen deep into the atmosphere and will be tied up by the lightning at any moment. Under such circumstances, it must be calculated very precisely before it can be pushed out again. Everybody must work together.

Meng Chi thought to himself.

“Our manpower seems to be insufficient. It will be terrible if the Immortal Cultivators of the imperium stand by and watch us die on purpose so that they can take advantage of us.

Peng Hai pondered for a moment and said, “So, we need to discuss this matter further…”

Before they had the chance to make plans, Ding Lingdang had already rushed down on her Red Fire Dragon King. “Li Yao, don’t run. I’m coming!”

“…” Boss Bai.

Meng Chixin: “…”

“…” Peng Hai. The father of the federation and the previous Speaker of the federation had both rushed down to rescue him. Did they have a second choice?

“Ancient giant planet? Interesting.”

Yan Liren smiled. Looking at the lightning and thunder on the surface of the planet, there was intense excitement in his eyes. He licked his lips and said, “I would very much like to know whether or not a sword can cut through gravity when it is fast enough.

He rushed down.

“Amitabha. Impulsive. Too impulsive!”

Master Bitter Cicada sighed. He shook his head and rushed down, too.

“Li Yao, you are truly the greatest clown in the history of the federation!

Fiend Blade Peng Hai, Li Yao’s senior brother, smiled bitterly and rushed down, too.

Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun looked at each other and saw the tacit understanding in each other’s eyes. They both rushed down.

With these people taking the lead, how could the remaining operators of the Giant Soldiers stand by and watch? They dived down one after another.

Very soon, only Boss Bai and Long Yangjun, the two experts who were subtly neutral and uninvolved, were left.

Boss Bai looked at Long Yangjun. “Why are you looking at me?”

Long Yangjun wrinkled his nose. “Do you think that I’m a brainless fool such as Li Yao who would take unnecessary risks when his blood is boiling? You’ve got to be kidding me! The environment down there is too harsh. Even all the experts of the federation might not be able to rescue Iron Fist, unless the experts of the imperium come to his rescue one after another. Is that possible? Do you think that the selfish Immortal Cultivators would sacrifice their lives for such meaningless things? Foolish. How idiotic!
