Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Li Yao had spotted the illusions where Long Yangjun was trapped with a quick glimpse.

It was made of many pictures, including splendid palaces, eye-catching halls, bloody fights among the common folk, and power struggles in the court.

In the illusionary world, Long Yangjun was wearing a robe that was painted with a raging dragon. She had indeed become king of the world, holding the greatest power in the world.

But it was not right!

Long Yangjun was different from the other experts of the Ancient Sages Sector.

The rest of them were invaded by the extraterrestrial devil when their brains were completely exposed to the tides of the four-dimensional space during the space jump. Their soul had been deeply infiltrated for more than twelve hours.

Twelve hours was enough for the extraterrestrial devil to change all kinds of illusions to figure out their desires and weaknesses and corrupt them accordingly.

But Long Yangjun had been lost in the Spiriters’ Realm a moment ago together with Li Yao. The extraterrestrial devil did not have the slightest inkling as to her real identity yet. All the information that it knew about Long Yangjun was from the narration of the other experts of the Ancient Sages Sector.

It meant that to this moment, the extraterrestrial devil still considered Long Yangjun to be Lead Eunuch Wang Xi, a powerful eunuch of the Great Qian Dynasty in the Ancient Sages Sector!

The multiple virtual worlds that the extraterrestrial devil had prepared for Long Yangjun were all founded on the identity of ‘Lead Eunuch Wang Xi’, offering her what she liked most. It had nothing but power struggles, coups, mutinies, usurpations, and such.

If it were a real powerful eunuch, they likely would have found such a world too attractive to get away from.

However, it could never have occurred to the extraterrestrial devil that ‘Lead Eunuch Wang Xi’ was just an ostensible identity for Long Yangjun and a camouflage of hers to find her real identity. What she really cared about was the God-Sealing War hundreds of thousands of years ago and her mysterious destiny!

Such a virtual world that was specially prepared for ‘Lead Eunuch Wang Xi’ was definitely not anything that Long Yangjun was interested in.

However, during his brief observation, Li Yao noticed that Long Yangjun seemed to have truly devoted herself to the lousy game and was enjoying herself very much. She appeared to have forgotten what was going on outside.

But it did not make sense. With the intensity of the soul of an elite warrior from the Nuwa Civilization, there was no reason for her to succumb so quickly.

Therefore, Li Yao immediately realized that Long Yangjun was acting for the extraterrestrial devil, too!

She must have realized that she was trapped in the Spiriters’ Realm from the very beginning, but she could not figure out a thorough solution for the time being. So, she simply eased the vigilance of the extraterrestrial devil with such a gesture. In secret, she was accumulating her strength, trying to break the barrier in one attempt!

Li Yao had no choice but to take the wild gamble by trusting Long Yangjun!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ‘crystal ball’ that was confining Long Yangjun shook more and more violently. Every light and shadow that it reflected seemed to have a Long Yangjun who was staring at the outside. Her eyes were as sharp as golden daggers that were even mincing the darkness of the outside world apart!

The cracks that were gradually recovering under the collision of Li Yao’s soul appeared again after a brief impasse. They extended forward and connected each other, turning into an unstoppable spider web!

“Hooo!”

Sensing that the virtual world here was more and more fragile, the distant Fighting God howled crazily, planning to approach and stop it.

However, the mental devil, which was riddled with holes and had lost all its feathers, with barely the shape of a human, stood before it time and time again, shouldering the thunderous attacks from the enemy!

The pain of the soul being torn apart by brute force was insufferable for normal people. With only fifty percent of the intensity of Li Yao’s original soul, the mental devil was supposed to be no match for the ‘Fighting God’ at all. However, it simply harassed the enemy like sticky candy. While vomiting blood and laughing crazily, it shouted at the top of its voice, “Li Yao! Li Yao! Li Yao!”

“What the hell are you screaming about?” Li Yao had exploited the strength of the other half of his soul, too, when he turned into a streak of brightness and crashed into the crystal world time and time again. He was blown apart and thinner than ever after every collision, but he was always condensed again before he gritted his teeth and launched yet another unreasonable charge!

“Long Yangjun, can you hear me? I’m right here. Come on and save me!”

He delivered the telepathic thoughts of shrieks into the crystal world through the cracks.

“Aya!”

Right then, Li Yao heard the most twisted scream from the mental devil behind him.

He turned around to check, only to discover that the mental devil had been completely ripped apart by the Fighting God. Most of the fire of its soul had entire perished. The last flickering light that looked like butterflies fled toward Li Yao and merged into his body, shivering.

The two half souls of the dual personalities were combined again. The mental devil spoke feebly inside his soul. “Brother, I can only do so much!”

Li Yao laughed miserably. He was not in any better condition than the mental devil. Looking at the Fighting God charging at him like the wind, he was not even able to perform a dodge or block. His computational ability, imagination, and soul power were all running out.Read the next chapter on our vipnovel.com

The fists that were brimming with stings and hooks grew larger and larger until they filled the entire world in the end. Perhaps because his soul was getting weaker and smaller as time went on, the relative size of the Fighting God seemed to be growing ever larger, until it almost became a giant that towered hundreds of meters tall!

Li Yao watched the coldness shining on the stings of the fists, unable to do anything about it. His soul was about to be ripped into shreds by the sharp stings when the crisp sound of something breaking apart echoed right behind him. It was followed by a deafening explosion, as if the energy of the whole galaxy blasted over his shoulder, past his ears, blowing up the fist as well as the entire right arm of the Fighting God!

“Aoooooo!”

The Fighting God roared in shock and fury and retreated hundreds of meters away. Silver foam flowed out of its right arm that had already been blown apart, but the arm did not heal until a long time later!

When Li Yao turned back, he found Long Yangjun standing in the dark void in her crystal armor, and smoke was still popping up from the most sophisticated and glamorous crystal cannon on her right arm!

Li Yao was almost crying in joy. He never had such a strong urge to hug a woman other than Ding Lingdang!

Long Yangjun looked around. Her eyes were hollow, and inhuman nonchalance seemed to be beaming out. However, it only lasted a brief moment before she returned to normal and focused her eyes on Li Yao. Putting on a graceful smile that made it impossible to tell whether she was a man or a woman, she asked, “What’s the situation now?”

“The situation is that we are now deeply trapped in the most central layer of the Spiriters’ Realm. Those floating in the dark void around are all tiny virtual worlds. Each world has caged the soul of one person, including Meng Chixin, Han Baling, Yan Liren, the rest of them, and you until a moment ago!

“The giant silver ball over there is the real identity of the extraterrestrial devil and the mastermind of the whole scheme. Hurry up and break all the virtual worlds to free Meng Chixin, Yan Liren, and the others so that we can attack together and beat the sh*t out of it!”

“Impossible! It’s impossible!” Crazy ripples flowed out of the silver ball from far, far away. It shouted in utmost astonishment, “Nobody can break away from the corruption of the Spiriters’ Realm so quickly and even invade this place! Why is your soul power so weird? It is even launching ‘anti-corruption’ on my world? Lead Eunuch Wang Xi is simply a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. How can you do that?

“You—you—you are not Lead Eunuch Wang Xi. You are no common Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. You are not human. You are not human!”

While it was roaring, the right arm of the Fighting God gradually recovered. There being no time for it to reconstruct the whole arm, it simply threw out almost a hundred tentacles that were waving crazily. The sharp end of every tentacle was a coldly blinking dagger. They whipped the two of them brutally in the most terrifying sound!

“Hehe. Now that your real body has been located, everything will be easier!” Long Yangjun sneered and declared confidently, “You thought that such a lousy virtual world was enough to trap me? I was merely trying to parse your fundamental architecture and trace your core database!”

Highly-dangerous, purple swirls were condensing quickly on the barrel of the crystal cannon. Before the Fighting God jumped at the two of them, another cluster of purple magma spurted out and hit the chest of the iron giant precisely. Then, it spread out quickly like a virus and soon crystalized the torso and the limbs of the entire Fighting God, freezing it into a bizarre-shaped amethystine statue!

“You can’t break the virtual worlds now!” Long Yangjun bit her lips hard. “The extraterrestrial devil can totally conceal those virtual worlds and change their state to be unreadable and unmodifiable externally. Even if you do break the crystal balls, what you will get is only a bunch of meaningless, chaotic data.

“Give me… half a minute!”

She leapt backward and suddenly vanished from Li Yao’s side. In the blink of an eye, she appeared right behind the silver ball, which was the real entity of the extraterrestrial devil!

Before the extraterrestrial devil realized what was going on, she had stabbed her hands deeply into the silver ball. As her soul power poured out incessantly, a thin amethystine shell was condensed on the surface of the silver ball!

The power of the amethysts was also transmitted through the wires that connected the silver ball and the many virtual worlds, freezing the hundreds of virtual worlds completely in that moment!

“What kind of strength is this? Why is it so eccentric? Who are you exactly? What are you exactly?”

Surging tides were raging on the surface of the silver ball. Countless ugly tentacles grew out. Like a virus that could infect the entire universe, it extended its tentacles deep into Long Yangjun’s body, transforming Long Yangjun’s transparent, crystalized body into silver, too.

The two parties were engaged in a soul-stirring competition of corruption and anticorruption. Silver stripes were sprawling on Long Yangjun’s face.

The shell of the Fighting God, which had been sealed by the amethysts, soon revealed a lot of cracks, indicating that it might break free at any moment!

“Li Yao, now is the time!” The silver threads were even invading Long Yangjun’s eyes, but she could not have cared less about it. She simply tried her best to lock onto all the virtual worlds and shouted, “Hurry up and smash all of the illusionary worlds!”
