Chapter 2992 Sword unsheathed!
On one side, the former Speaker of Parliament was confronting the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and on the other side, some ‘non-human beings’ were confronting each other calmly on their crystal puppets.
Xiao Ming, Wen Wen, and Wu Suiyun, two other Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators from the Star Glory Federation, had their eyes on them.
The reason was simple. Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun were rarely-seen spectral Cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Stage. They did not have bodies of flesh and blood, either. Instead, they were controlling battle puppets that were armed to the teeth. At first glance, they were no different from the life forms of Xiao Ming, Wenwen, and the Fist King.
It was the truth.
What was the difference between ‘self-organized, upgradeable database’ and ‘soul’? Nobody could tell.
Maybe, the human brain was a crystal processor in the first place. It was a special crystal processor that used cells instead of chips as nodes for calculation. The spectral Cultivators and the information life-forms were the branches of the two different landscapes on the path of human evolution.
“I didn’t know that Fellow Cultivator Wu and I could wait until today.
Meng Chi, the spectral Cultivator, stood on the ring and observed the endless view of the stars in the distance. He was greatly touched. “We came from an era of darkness and ignorance. In our native civilization, the evolution of mankind seemed to be coming to an end. Nobody could escape the desperation of falling and rotting while they killed each other. In pursuit of a slim hope, we ventured into the relics, only to destroy our own bodies.
“At that time, we thought that all hope had been extinguished and that the hundred-thousand-year-old civilization of the Ancient Saint World, as well as us, was about to wither. We did not expect that there would be a silver lining at the end of the tunnel. The universe was vast, the world was splendid, and the civilization of mankind had so many brilliant changes. “Walking from ‘ancient’ to ‘modern’ and from the Ancient Sacred World to the center of the sea of stars, we met… ‘Little Ming’ and ‘Wenwen’. You are the representatives of the future, and you heard the news of the multiverse from the ‘Punching King’. You know the insignificance of the Pangu Universe and the vastness of the outer domain. Fellow Cultivator Wu and I have truly… broadened our horizons. We are overwhelmed with emotions!
“Then, Xiao Ming, Wen Wen, and the Fist King, please tell us about the endless brilliance from the future and the space zones!”
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
Inside and outside of the ring, hundreds of spiritual puppets that looked like meteorites suddenly came to life.
This was the unique advantage of the Divinity Transformation Stage ghost cultivators and the information creatures. In terms of individual combat ability, they might not be a match for the super experts such as Ding Lingdang, but whether it was Xiao Ming, Wen Wen, the Fist King, Meng Chixin, or Wu Suiyun, they could command five or even twenty spiritual puppets at their will. One person was equivalent to a small army!
The ‘body’ of Xiao Ming and Wen Wen came from the essence of the Sanctuary’s research and development over a thousand years. Their combat ability far exceeded that of high-end crystal suits.
The ‘body’ of the boxing champion had been personally refined and adjusted by Li Yao. It was needless to say how formidable his combat ability was.
Meng Chixin’s and Wu Suiyun’s bodies, on the other hand, came from the Mysterious Realm of Kunlun and the underground of the Ancient Saint World. They were filled with a vintage vibe and a dominating aura.
Even the vacuum where sound waves could not reach was shaking because of their intimidating aura. Cracking noises were almost echoing nonstop. In a moment, hundreds of experts locked onto their targets. The atmosphere was so solemn and heated that the vacuum almost exploded.
“Then… let’s fight!”
Ding Lingdang bellowed. The mustard suit, which was made of special materials and boasted high hardness and tenacity that even a single crystal blade might not be able to cut through, was torn apart, revealing the crimson skin on its limbs. The ‘Red Fire Dragon King’ was the first to bare its fangs and crush a meteorite below its feet into powder before it lunged at Li Jialing and Li Linghai with the counterforce.
However,
She was fast, but somebody else was faster!
A petite and lithe figure, like a bolt of lightning, like a ghost and a ghost, arrived first. She actually leapt to the left of Li Yao after a few leaps and turns while stepping on the broken stones. She even shot a stream of sword aura at Li Yao very stealthily.
Ding Lingdang’s eyelashes, pupils, and heart were as natural as breathing. She punched out reflexively and blew the sword aura into pieces, as if it were an annoying fly.
But as it turned out, this was exactly their purpose.
The enemy had never thought that he could hurt Ding Lingdang with the sword aura. He was merely trying to lure Ding Lingdang into punching him and send him off with the waves.
The shattered sword aura did not vanish in the vacuum. Instead, it ‘woven’ into a soft ‘net’ under the amazing control of his opponent and blocked Ding Lingdang’s overwhelming punch. As if Ding Lingdang’s fist was the engine under his feet, his speed soared to the maximum. He crashed through more than ten stones and reached the heads of Li Jialing and Li Linghai.
All the stones that were smashed into pieces turned into powder, too. Surrounded by the surging electric arcs, they condensed into a long sword dozens of meters long that was both hard and soft.
BOOM! CRACK!
The vacuum could not transmit sound waves, but it could not block the fighting will and sword aura that were hundreds of times larger than the body of the man. Seeing the giant sword made of thunder and meteoroids, Li Jialing and Li Linghai both felt that they were struck by lightning. Even their firm belief in the Divinity Transformation Stage was shaking slightly. It was a strike that could even cut a starship in half!
The sword-bearer, on the other hand, did not pilot the Giant God Soldier. He did not even put on his crystal suit, nor did he unsheathe the magical equipment that he was most familiar with. He simply summoned his spiritual energy, crushed the meteoroids, and retrieved the materials on the spot. Such a sword of aura was already so powerful!
“Sword Addict’ Yan Liren!
Li Jialing’s pupils constricted violently. Gold brilliance was beaming out of his eyes.
Li Yao had once talked with him about the heroes in the sea of stars. He had praised ‘Sword Freak’ Yan Liren’s capability and thought that Yan Liren was one of the few real sword immortals who could ignore the gap between their Cultivation and kill the strongest experts.
“As long as Yan Liren has a sword, no crystal suit or giant soldier will be able to stop him. Even the deities might be slain by him!
This was Li Yao’s evaluation of Yan Liren.
Li Jialing was too young to believe that such a sword immortal existed.
It was a common disease in the human world. He had thought that even Li Yao was no exception. Did he really think that a Nascent Soul Stage swordsman in the closed and ignorant Ancient Saint World was a sword immortal?
It was not until this moment, when Yan Liren’s sword aura was shining in front of his eyes, that he finally understood what a ‘breakthrough’ meant.
The sword was Yan Liren’s life, his universe, and the devil in his heart.
“Little Emperor, everything inside the tomb, including the legacy of the Supreme Emperor, the warship of Pangu, and the ultimate treasures of the primeval era, are all yours. I don’t want anything!”
Li Jialing sensed Yan Liren’s determination from the unstoppable sword aura. “I only want the Supreme Emperor. I want the Pangu Clan. I want the makers of the black wall. I want the Flood Tide Legion. I want the real Flood Tide to be slashed down by my sword one by one!
Such boldness, such madness, such a sword immortal!
Li Jialing was both surprised and excited. While he admired Yan Liren, he also maximized his fighting will. Instead of hesitating and dodging, he charged at Yan Liren’s sword aura.
“I am… the Child of the Universe. No force can make me retreat and stop me!
BOOM!
Surging purple flames were surging around Li Jialing like a volcanic eruption. In the middle of the purple flames, a golden lion soared into the sky and lunged at Yan Lili’s sword aura. “Ultimate Purple Dragon, Torrential Emperor Flames!” The two terrifying forces collided brutally, resulting in 99 dazzling ripples. All the meteoroids within several square kilometers were shattered, and the dust was all burnt into a colorful fireball. A golden lion seemed to be fighting against countless electric arcs inside the fireball. The mustard suits of the two super experts were immediately riddled with holes.
The two of them retreated at the same time.
It was not because of the blast, but because they were preparing for an even more intense collision.
While they were retreating, Ding Lingdang and Li Linghai rushed close, too. The Empress Dowager and the former Speaker of Parliament dashed into the fire ball that had not been extinguished yet without any hesitation. The fireball was shattered in the blink of an eye and turned into the shadows of swords and sabers between them.
The Red Dragon King versus the Ultimate Purple Dragon, and the Red Dragon versus the True Dragon. In the senses of the experts nearby, two awe-inspiring, world-swallowing dragons seemed to have appeared and were about to tear apart the aura of the No. 7 planet. For a moment, before the two of them were able to determine the winner, the experts nearby were already sweating in fear.
“Wasn’t it said that Ding Lingdang had just broken through to the Divinity Transformation Stage on the battlefield not long ago? She should be a newcomer in the circle of Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, and her experience and spiritual energy reserve are both lacking. How could she possess such appalling destructive power? Even those veteran Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators were blown up by her with a single punch?”
“Also, what’s wrong with Her Majesty? Wasn’t it said that she was over-exhausted in the battle of the Gold Crystal Tower and her Cultivation fell to the Nascent Soul Stage, with no hope of returning to the Divinity Transformation Stage in her life? How long has it been? Her capability has been fully restored, if not improved!
Countless experts were greatly shocked.
This was also the effect of the so-called ‘coordinating training’.
In short, he was going to let the disobedient people know who the real boss was and listen to his command obediently, in case they hurt themselves and others when they entered the relics.
In terms of combat ability, Li Linghai, who had just recovered to the Divinity Transformation Stage, was naturally no match for Ding Lingdang, who was in the prime of her life.
But now that he had returned to the peak from the dark abyss, his abundant experience and unwavering determination allowed him to deal with Ding Lingdang until Li Jialing took a breath and lunged at him again!
