Chapter 3017 Luring the Thunder!

“Then I’ll go with you!” Ding Lingdang said without any hesitation, “Let’s distract it together. If anything goes wrong, we can make up for it!” “There’s no need. You’ve seen its speed and energy level. If my calculations are correct, one person is enough to lure it away. If… there are errors in my calculations, then it doesn’t matter how many people there are.” Li Yao smiled and said, “You just entered the Divinity Transformation Stage not long ago. You are the type to soar into the sky. Although the spiritual energy inside your body is immense, your control over it is still not good enough. It is very easy for it to detect the feeble spiritual waves that you release. You are all the same. Nobody is a match for me in the field of delicate control over spiritual energy and extreme micro-manipulation. “Therefore, you should focus on your mission. After I distract it, try your best to control the starship, enter the Tomb of the Supreme Emperor, and capture Lu Qingchen. It is an equally important mission.

“As for me, well, I’m not bragging, but as the best expert of the Pangu Universe, when I want to flee, I will not be stopped even if billions of deities work together!

After Li Yao finished his speech, he cut off the communication without giving Ding Lingdang and the others any chance to argue. On the surface of the ‘Arsonist’, interweaving fluorescent red lines appeared again. All the red lines gathered in his eyes and blossomed in glamorous colors.

The airtight door below the launch platform slid open silently. After a short fall, he was already used to the weightlessness. Li Yao stood in the dark, deep sea of stars again, feeling free and refreshed.

The stars were where he belonged.

Fighting a torrent of plasma more than a thousand kilometers in diameter with a temperature of more than ten thousand degrees alone was a battle worthy of his courage and wisdom!

Of course, before the battle, he would have to borrow some ‘toys’ from ‘Falcon’ and the few fast attack starships nearby.

Under Li Yao’s suggestion and Li Linghai’s command, all the commanders of the exploration fleet gritted their teeth and stopped all the operations of the starship. It could not be helped. In the unpredictable and brutal unknown space, the intuition of a division expert might be the only weapon that they could count on.

The spiritual shields and magnetic fields of the starships immediately vanished. The power units that had been glittering and spurting colorful flames all over the starship dimmed, too.

Inside the cabin, the artificial gravity field had been canceled. The crew members in helmets and armor were all floating in midair, securing themselves to their posts with soft restraints and buffer gel. But they could not stop the water cups, mini crystal processors, and daily necessities from dancing in the air.

The Spiritual Nexus and the tactical data link between starships had been cut off, too. They were now in the absolute ‘communication silence’. Every pathway and every cabin was plunged into darkness. Everybody could only adjust the emergency lights to the minimum brightness so that their blurred shadows would be illuminated. They prayed silently in the darkness, praying that Li Yao’s judgement was correct and that their plate armor was solid enough to resist the increasingly intense meteoroid showers.

BAM! BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!

Without the neutralization of the spiritual shield and the interference of the magnetic field, the meteoroid showers immediately hit the shells of every starship like hailstones. Earsplitting noises were echoing nonstop, indicating that the shell of the starship, the keel, or the girders of the starship were under tremendous pressure and had reached the limit of metal fatigue. They were moaning in desperation. If one was unlucky, one could even hear the hissing noises, which indicated that the shell of the starship had been torn apart in an unknown place, and the gas inside the cabin was leaking out quickly. The sea of stars was boundless, and the stone belts were in chaos. Billions of tons of materials were spurting out of the broken crust of ‘Ancient Thirteen’ every second and rushing into space like mud slides. The starships of human beings were merely dry leaves in the mud slides. Without any impetus, they could not control their own fate at all and were soon dispersed, losing their direction.

The sweeping torrents of super plasma, on the other hand, created a terrifying accelerating magnetic field in the stone belts, which was equivalent to the creation of powerful ‘electromagnetic cannons’ out of thin air. Not only did the meteoroids, which were already as fast as lightning, increase their speed by a level, their revolutions were also hundreds of times faster.

They drilled through the shell, the cabin walls, the pathways, and even the entire starship without any trouble.

The noises grew more and more ear-piercing. Many starships lost pressure and cooled down quickly. A thin layer of frost appeared on the mainframe crystal processor and the units. Some unlucky starships were hit by the fuel tanks. Liquid fuel and coolant leaked out like blood.

At the rate of the damage, there was no way that they could survive forty-five minutes to an hour.

Half an hour was already his limit.

But other than gritting their teeth and enduring the damage within the minimum range, there was nothing they could do, because the destructive super plasma torrent was right next to them, eyeing them covetously!

“What… an unparalleled beast!”

Maybe only those like Li Yao, who was floating alone in the sea of stars, could truly feel its soul-stirring beauty and danger when there was no barrier between the super plasma torrent and the vacuum.

It was truly like a newborn sun, a certain creature that had broken out of its cocoon and turned into a butterfly. Billions of lightning bolts outlined its nerves, veins, veins, bones, and muscles, and every lightning bolt was bouncing and changing into billions of forms every second, trying new methods of entanglement and condensation, which were… mutations and evolutions. Thousands of mutations and evolutions were taking place every second, turning every lightning swirl on its body into ever-changing kaleidoscope.

It was at least a thousand kilometers in diameter. It was more magnificent and magnificent than the largest and most furious tides. But the distance between them was too far away, and it gave the feeling of ‘lightness’ and ‘slimness’. It was a hurricane, a tsunami, a tsunami, a thunder, a newborn star, a butterfly, a catkin, a smoke, a dream, and the most perfect work of art that the hand of the universe could make.

Li Yao was deeply immersed in the dangerous blue dream. His eyes had been dyed blue and purple without him knowing.

As he expected, the super plasma torrent was indeed searching for prey with the energy waves.

Or rather, its instincts drove it to look for the objects that contained intense energy. Only by seizing all the energy could its ‘life’ be continued.

For the items that had run out of energy, such as the fast attack starship that had been paralyzed in the vacuum just now, it was meaningless, if not against its ‘instinct’, to waste its precious energy to crush them completely. It was just like how ferocious beasts would not attack a hard stone in vain.

In the vacuum of the universe, every drop of energy was more precious than water in a desert. Even though it seemed magnificent and beautiful, as time went by, it would gradually dissipate and eventually perish.

It had to seize enough energy before it was annihilated in order to be considered a successful ‘hunting’.

At this moment, it was hesitating, as if it was deeply troubled by the sudden disappearance of its prey.

Even though Li Linghai, Ding Lingdang, and Boss Bai could turn off all the units of the starship in time, the remaining spiritual waves would not dissipate instantly. The temperature of the starship was also spreading out radiation nonstop.

The spiritual energy ripples and the heat radiation were all keenly perceived by the super plasma torrent. It was merely calculating whether or not it was worthwhile to launch an attack at the cost of its own spiritual energy in order to reduce the energy source by several levels.

Li Yao could not wait for it to react.

He was going to help it make a choice.

Li Yao snapped his fingers.

Thousands of spiritual bullets of the main gun of the starship were floating around the ‘Arsonist’. They were all designed to pierce through the heavy plate armor that was more than ten meters thick. Some of them were even designed to attack the underground fortress that was hundreds of meters deep. The smallest of them was even larger than Li Yao himself.

They were the ‘toys’ that Li Yao used to attract the super plasma torrents. The first spiritual energy bullet exploded silently.

Although soundwaves and blast waves could not be transmitted in the vacuum, colorful spiritual waves were still spreading out like a tide, as if the most brilliant fireworks had bloomed in front of Li Yao.

“Come on, big guy. Treat me as your prey. Let’s bet whether or not you can catch me!”

Licking his dry lips, Li Yao mumbled to himself with a weird smile, his eyes sunken like those of a gambler who was taking a gamble.

The super plasma torrent was indeed attracted by the explosion of the cannonball.

For a moment, the millions of electric arcs that constituted its body all raised their heads and stared at Li Yao like vipers that had sensed the temperature of their prey.

Even the vivid ‘blue warships’ outlined by lightning were aimed at Li Yao’s direction.

It could be clearly seen that the electric arcs were sucking the meteorites and dust nearby and burning them into deep purple and deep blue flames due to the high-speed friction, making the ‘warships’ even more hideous and ferocious.

Faced with the horrifying scenes where the common Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators were all scared out of their wits, Li Yao, on the other hand, roared like a wild animal, his hair standing on end and his eyes bloodshot, “Come on. I am your real opponent. Let me see what you are capable of. Let me show you the most brilliant escaping expert in the hundred thousand years of history of the civilization of mankind. Let’s see how magnificent he is after he burns his life away, transcends his peak, and breaks his limits!”
