Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

The rumbling noises and the crazy roars, which mixed with the shocking sounds of explosions and fractures, turned into floods and beasts that crashed into the hearts and the souls of all the prisoners through their ears, displaying the bizarre, bloody, cruel, insufferable illusions before them!

They seemed able to see themselves being tied up by the jailors and the researchers for all kinds of cruel procedures on the operating tables. They envisioned the cold and shining scalpels and tongs and the hideous grins of the Immortal Cultivators. They saw their ghastly appearances after the first refinement, and they saw their miserable outcomes when they were forced to fight the mutated beasts and other prisoners under the threat of the electromagnetic whips and high-pressure phasers, until they were bleeding everywhere with broken bones all over their bodies!

It was not music but the most painful and desperate moans from the deepest level of hell.

All the prisoners covered their ears hard, unwilling to allow the demonic sounds to pierce through their brains.

However, no matter how they dodged and resisted it, the sound from hell still shocked their blood, bones, and souls.

“Ahhhhhhh!”

The prisoners let out roars as they could not hold it any longer. They bashed their heads on the transparent glass walls hard, until the entire beehive prison was clattering.

At the deepest, darkest, and cruelest moment of the music of hell, the roar of an awakened primeval beast suddenly echoed after a deafening explosion.

It was like a peal of thunder on a sunny day!

The music seemed to have dug a hole on the iron house that absolutely did not have any exit, letting in the brightness that felt like running magma.

After that, the rhythm of the music was faster and faster, and the tune was more and more exciting and exuberant too.

Desperation turned into hope, pain turned into fury, and the fury gathered into blatantly flooding torrents!

The prisoners were seeing all kinds of illusions again. They seemed to be part of the furious torrents that were breaking the cages and the beehive prison and sweeping across the entire “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”. The arrogant and almighty Immortal Cultivators could do nothing except to shudder in fear under their torrents and be destroyed unstoppably!

Ho! Hooooooo!

The blood and the brains of all the prisoners were simmering. They felt that they were filled with explosive strength that could not be vented out at all. They simply bashed the transparent glass walls hard, until intense marks of blood were left on the wall!

The storm of hell had swept across the entire beehive prison. The anger of the thousands of prisoners had been completely awakened by a battle hymn from the deepest level of hell!

“What… What is happening?”

Inside the control room, faced with the sounds that were like surging tides, both the warden and the jailors were scared out of their wits.

“Somebody hacked our system and played the uncanny music!”

“Our connection to the control center has been cut off. We are trying to reconnect, but it will probably take another couple of minutes!”

Bad news came over one piece after another.

“A*shole…”

The muscles on the warden’s face were twitching violently as he gnashed, “Activate the Dragnet and make sure that every prisoner is lying on the ground obediently without causing any trouble. Everybody, stay on full al—”

BOOM!

Before he was able to complete his sentence, an earthshaking explosion already came over from the vertical channel that looked like the silo for a starship.

It was not a sound that any human could make at all, but more like the collisions of a heavy starship or a previously unseen alien beast with the gate of the prison at a super high speed.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The crazy collisions were happening again and again!

The entire beehive prison was shuddering in fear.

The warden and the jailors looked at each other in bewilderment; their souls were shaking violently. They had no idea at all what kind of strength could possibly cause such noises.

Even the most inert prisoner had realized that something unexpected must be happening. It seemed that somebody was attacking the beehive prison!

For a moment, all the jailors and the prisoners were palpitating hard as they watched the gate above their heads being twisted, deformed, and dented downward by the earthquakes.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Dozens of connection components more than half a meter in diameter that were used to fixate the gate and the shell of the prison were blown away, darting into the depths of the vertical channel and disappearing before everyone’s sight.

In the next second, it was another tsunami-like collision. The gate of the beehive prison, which was more than five meters thick and weighed more than 1,550 tons, made of seven composite materials that were designed to resist the barrage of the main guns of starships, was blown up by brute force.

Several pieces of the gate that weighed dozens of tons rushed close like meteorites and fell into the vertical channel that was thousands of meters deep, triggering such a dull noise that was enough to grind the heart of every jailor!

Before the warden realized what was going on, a hundred twisted, bleeding Immortal Cultivators were blown downward from above, screaming while crashing helplessly.

The crystal suits of many of them were spurting out miserable sparks nonstop and even exploded in midair, sparing the Immortal Cultivators in them the pain of falling into pieces.

The hearts of the warden and all the jailors almost exploded at the same time. Their eyes were about to be torn apart and their every breath seemed to inhale flames that were mixed with thorns as they watched the monster that blew up the gate of more than a thousand tons descending before them slowly.

Out of their expectation, it was not an entire army, nor a hideous beast that was a hundred meters long, but only one man.

But what a tough man he was!

He was wearing a half-transparent black crystal suit whose materials were beyond any recognition. It was also barely possible to lock onto it with metal scanning devices or heat scanning devices. The crystal suit seemed to have condensed all the darkness in the space and couldn’t have looked more profound and mysterious.

In the middle of the transparent and unpredictable black materials, deep red and bright gold crystal wires could be vaguely seen. They interweaved with each other and constructed a cubic network that was as complicated as nerves and veins.

The network improved the crystal suit’s circulation speed of spiritual energy as much as possible, and the starry red lights and the never-ending dark gold brilliant added to the mysteriousness and the glamor of the crystal suit.

The warden had never seen a crystal suit of such a shape before. He had even never seen such mysterious materials and such a way to construct a crystal suit.

However, according to his limited experience, such an immaculate and flawless crystal suit only meant one thing, which was an unparalleled expert who dominated the sea of stars with destructive strength!

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

From the deep red and dark gold crystal wires inside the mysterious crystal suit, mystic rays as thick as hair flowed out and soon protruded out of the crystal suit, extending all the way down the back of the crystal suit. As if they had their own life, they connected with each other and soon weaved into the “veins” and “nerves” of two enormous wings.

In the next moment, the black flames of light spurted crazily and congregated into delicate but sharp feathers that covered the network of veins and nerves, turning into a pair of enormous wings almost thirty meters long which couldn’t have looked more awe-inspiring!

The black crystal suit with bloodred spiritual stripes and gold brilliance was exactly the Mystic Skeleton Blood Wing—the best, unique crystal suit of the federation that Li Yao had produced with the help of the entire Star Glory Federation and the most cutting-edge units and rune array systems from the primeval relics for the journey to the Imperium of True Human Beings!

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”

Both the warden and the jailors had sensed the unstoppable, destructive waves released from Li Yao’s body. It felt like a whole high-speed crystal train was running over their faces brutally.

“Hooooooooooooo!”

The prisoners also saw the scene. Although they did not know who Li Yao was, they knew that he must be an enemy of the beehive prison and “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky” as well as the source of the “hell march”.

Awed by Li Yao’s dominating image, the prisoners were roaring even more excitedly than before. Bashing the transparent glass walls hard, they cheered for Li Yao.

Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!

The hundreds of spiritual puppets under the control of crystal processors were the only things that were not moved by Li Yao’s grand entrance. They spurted out from the pathways in all directions and unfolded from the balls, unleashing all their firepower in the battle form!

“Hehe…”

Hidden deep below the dark mask, a smile of eagerness popped up on Li Yao’s face. He licked his lips and extended one finger.

Countless storm bolters, crystal cannons, chaotic cannons, machine guns, and honeycomb-type flying sword launchers arrived from the sky.

They were all the weapons that he stole from the Immortal Cultivators on his way to break into the place.

Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts turned into hundreds of tentacles, entangling and controlling the heavy-firepower magical equipment and locking onto the spiritual puppets in every direction.

Beep… Beep… Beep… Beep…

From the depths of his soul, invisible waves were also released to disrupt and sabotage the fire control chips of the spiritual puppets.

“Pa!”

Li Yao snapped softly.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Red, orange, green, blue, purple… A storm of bullets of a plethora of colors and a tsunami of spiritual energy were raised at the same time. The mystic rays, the bullets, and the metal scraps filled the entire vertical channel. Explosions and fireballs were happening nonstop, and the spiritual puppets fell like raindrops. But the black shadow remained absolutely still at the center where the explosions were most heated!

Half a minute later, the explosions came to a stop. All the flames, spiritual energy, and blasts dispersing in midair were absorbed by the Mystic Skeleton Blood Wing. There was nothing around Li Yao anymore. Not a single spiritual puppet was still floating in the midair.

The scene took place exactly next to the prisoners.

It was truly splendid, exciting, and violent!

All the prisoners couldn’t have been more shocked by Li Yao’s astonishing combat ability. They all cheered for him at the loudest of their voices.

A large batch of jailors finally put on their crystal suits and lunged at the intruder from all directions.

The volume of the “hell march” was suddenly raised to a high level, as if it were going to shatter the entire beehive prison, or at least all the transparent glass walls that blocked the prisoners!

“Nobody can defeat me with my background music.”

Narrowing his eyes, Li Yao mumbled, “Not to mention worthless scumbags like you!”
