Forty Millenniums of Cultivation - Chapter 3069

Chapter 3069 Super Heavy Sea

“The stairs should not be on the top. This is a world fragment, an independent space. The so-called ‘up, down, left, right’ does not mean much. The stairs leading to the higher floors of the ‘Tower Tower’ are likely to be teleportation arrays.

Li Yao thought to himself silently, The defenders did not deploy too many war machines in the sky. The vast majority of the defenders are scattered around the valley. It can be seen that they don’t place too much importance on the sky and simply let the ferocious beasts seek their own death. I don’t need to repeat the same mistake.

He continued scanning the fluctuating canyon, only to discover that bolts of lightning were falling one after another, turning into erratic balls of lightning that devoured the lives of the ferocious beasts to their heart’s content. Even the war machine on the defending side would be paralyzed on the spot when it came into contact with the balls of lightning. It could not have been more dangerous.

However, amidst the countless explosions of lightning, Li Yao noticed an extremely unusual scene.

Every ten to twenty seconds, more than a hundred lightning bolts would hit the same place and condense into an enormous ball of lightning more than a hundred meters in diameter.

The ball of lightning, on the other hand, did not float like a regular lightning but stayed where it was, emitting glamorous colors. Ripples were flowing on its surface, making it look like a swirl or… a gate.

“There it is!”

Li Yao’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Of course, he was not making a wild guess based on his intuition, but the result of a full-scale scan with his keen senses. The enormous ball of lightning, under the effect of the seemingly earthshaking sound and light, rippled out spiritual energy with a strong smell of ‘space ripples’, which was very similar to the ripples when the teleportation array was just activated or when the space jump just ended.

Li Yao was certain that it was a teleportation array disguised as a super-large ball of lightning!

“This teleportation array will appear every seventeen seconds for 0.78 seconds. As long as I am within a thousand meters of it, I will be able to crawl into it in time.

“The problem is that the coordinates are always uncertain. How can I be sure where it will show up next?

Li Yao stabilized the ‘sun catastrophe’, dodged the lightning that was falling from the sky, and carved a bloody path in the tide of ferocious beasts. He did not chase after the ‘lightning teleportation array’ recklessly. Instead, he split half of his attention to scan and calculate the pattern of the teleportation array.

He did not believe that teleportation arrays were random. If so, the purpose of the test would be lost.

The Anti-Ship Swords were flying up and down. The chainswords were dancing in the wind. The remote arsenal on his left arm was on full fire. Li Yao forced the beast tide back.

After ten minutes of observation, he also discovered that, before the teleportation array appeared, the corresponding purple clouds in the sky would suddenly expand and flash. Then, a bolt of lightning would be shot out, as if they were charging or shooting.

Then, as long as the position of the purple cloud and its relative relationship were determined, together with a series of complicated calculations, the coordinates of the next teleportation array would be locked.

Strands of gold threads appeared on Li Yao’s temples again, as if his cerebral nerves and cerebral vessels had all appeared on his skin.

At this moment, the overly aggressive performance of the ‘sun catastrophe’ had already attracted the attention of many ferocious beasts. A lot of giant war machines that belonged to the defenders, such as the ‘Iron Knights of Starry Skies’, turned their barrels at Li Yao.

“I’ve figured it out!”

Li Yao did not have time to shout in excitement. He took a deep breath and pushed the muscles of his legs, the power unit of the ‘sun catastrophe’, and the support structure of his legs to the maximum.

In the first step, dazzling flames burst out of the shield on the shoulder, the back, the skirt, and the feet of the soldier. The giant rock that the soldier was standing on was blown into powder silently. The soldier accelerated at an unparalleled speed and turned into a streak of brightness, leaving dozens of blurred shadows behind.

In the second step, the ‘sun catastrophe’ stomped on the head of a ‘Rampaging Armored Dragon’ and stomped the head of the super deadly beast into its chest. The Giant God Soldier was accelerated at an even higher speed, too, like an arrow that was shot at a star!

At this time, many ferocious beasts and war machines had already sensed Li Yao’s intentions.

Cannonballs, acids, venomous fog, death rays… A storm of bullets rained down upon him, sealing every inch of space in his path.

Li Yao, on the other hand, was ignorant and fearless. He charged forward courageously and took the third step at lightning fast speeds. He directly kicked a “Star Iron Knight” several kilometers away, smashing the ferocious beasts and even the rocks into pieces.

BOOM! BOOM!

New thunderstorms were gathering above his head. Bolts of lightning were raging like dragons and hanging down from the sky. They exploded around the ‘sun catastrophe’, blowing the ferocious beasts into smithereens. The war machines were falling apart. Even the rock stratums that were as hard as iron had been left with bone-deep traces.

The shocking scene did not affect Li Yao’s movements at all. He believed in his own judgement. Instead, he sent the fuel to the super-compressed crystal reactor and released it in the most brilliant flames.

At this point, there was nothing that could stop him!

In front of him was a cliff.

The front, back, left, and right were the easiest places for the enemies to focus their attention.

Besides, thousands of lightning bolts seemed to be aimed at the sky beyond the cliff on purpose, turning it into a sea of lightning. Li Yao, on the other hand, leapt into the sky on his ‘sun catastrophe’ without any hesitation!

The moment he jumped up, the hundreds of purple clouds in the sky glittered, expanded, and shrank at the same time. Then, they spurted out an extraordinary lightning that hit the spot in front of Li Yao and condensed into a super-large ball of lightning.

In the blink of an eye, before the storm of bullets behind him and the ocean of lightning in front of him reached him, Li Yao had already charged into the center of the ball of lightning in the ‘sun catastrophe’!

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! The Giant God Soldier, Little Black, the crystal suit, the mustard suit, the body of flesh and blood, and Li Yao’s soul seemed to be surging, decomposing, vaporizing, and ionizing at the same time. They turned into translucent pieces of the four-dimensional universe and passed through the endless space.

The thunder and lightning, the roars of the animals, and the noises of the war machines gradually faded away, or rather, they became dull. But the environmental inspection system of the ‘sun catastrophe’ sent out an earsplitting alarm, indicating that Li Yao was in an extreme environment of super high pressure.

This place was no longer the Thunder Valley’.

They had arrived at a brand-new world fragment, or rather, a higher level of the ‘heavenly tower’.

This place was actually—the depths of the ocean!

Never in Li Yao’s wildest dreams did he expect that the space inside the ‘Tower Tower’ would be so weird. The lower level was a valley of thunder, and the upper level was actually the depths of the ocean.

Besides, it was not an ordinary ocean that was suppressing him. The seawater here was apparently made of a lot of heavy metals, which was similar to the mercury ocean on Boneyard. Not only was the pressure terrifying, he could not even see his own fingers when he stretched out his telepathic thoughts. He could only perceive the environment within a thousand square meters. Beyond that was the mysterious ocean that was enshrouded in the fog of war.

Pressure was the most terrifying enemy in the depths of the ocean. In the ocean forty to fifty thousand meters below the surface, even the most solid giant soldier might be crushed into a thin layer of iron when it was heavily wounded and its spiritual shield collapsed.

Although the deepest trench on standard habitable planets such as Empyrean Terminus and Heaven’s Origin was usually no more than forty to fifty thousand meters, there was no telling what kind of terrifying planet the world fragment was located on. If it was a planet more than 50% the diameter of the Heaven’s Origin Sector, it would not be strange at all if the trench was more than a hundred thousand meters deep.

While Li Yao was amazed by the horror of the undersea world fragment, a black shadow suddenly passed by him silently, trying to tear his wings apart at an amazing speed.

Although Li Yao had spun the ‘sun catastrophe’ by instinct and slashed the black shadow with the edge of his saber, he was still soaked in cold sweat.

Vicious beasts!

Judging from the solid shell and the delicate stripes, it was a high-level deadly beast with a high degree of mutation. It was one of the ‘high-level soldiers’ in the beast tide.

He never thought that a ferocious beast would actually barge into this place. Li Yao could not help but tense up.

With the crazy and chaotic brains of the ferocious beasts, it was impossible for them to be intelligent enough to see through the mysteries of the ‘Thunder Valley’.

But if somebody was manipulating them from behind the scenes, say, the two leaders of the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan who were apparently highly intelligent, that might not be the case.

However, there was no telling where the mastermind behind the Vicious Beast Tide and the commander of the defense team had gone. Were they in the high-pressure ocean or in the higher levels of the ‘Tower Tower’? The field of vision and perception of this place were extremely poor. Perhaps the unknown sea was full of ferocious beasts and war machines, and in such a harsh environment where fierce battles were taking place, the slightest injury could be fatal. Li Yao did not want to get involved with either side.

The seawater was as heavy as cement. He had to summon his spiritual shield to resist the pressure every second. Even a super Giant God Soldier such as ‘Solar Catastrophe’ could not stay here for a long time. Li Yao keenly sensed the subtle changes in the seawater, which seemed to be a surging undercurrent. Holding his breath, he restrained the spiritual flames of the Giant God Soldier and swam for more than ten minutes, only to discover a giant swirl in front of him.

It was like a tornado that was hanging upside down in the seawater. The undercurrent was its raging tentacles that extended to dozens of kilometers away. The seawater and the materials stored in the ocean were all transported to the surface of the ocean.

Li Yao sensed extremely furious spiritual waves inside the swirl. Not just the ripples caused by the collision of undercurrents, there were also sharp aggressive waves, which made the place look like a chaotic battlefield.

It seemed that many ferocious beasts and defenders were lurking in the swirl and attacking each other.

It was like the lake hidden in the forest was destined to be the place of death for the top predators such as wolves, tigers, and leopards!
