Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

When Li Yao observed the thousands of people of the Covenant Alliance carefully through the hole, they raised their heads and stared at Li Yao at the same time, as if they had received a certain signal.

It was an even more creepy feeling.

When a group of regular persons heard an explosion above their heads and saw a giant hole on the ceiling, their movements would certainly be irregular even if they raised their heads to check what was going on.

The looks on their faces should be complicated after they raised their heads. Some would be surprised, some scared, some confused, and some would be alarmed that a new enemy was above their heads.

But they were not the reactions of the Covenant Alliance’s people at all.

As if they had received a certain signal, they raised their heads in unity in only half a second and stared at Li Yao carefully at the same time.

Thousands of eyes that were immeasurably deep but did not have any ripple, like frozen ink, stared at him at the same time. Although Li Yao was in the Divinity Transformation Stage and always considered himself to be audacious, he couldn’t help but feel chilly.

Then, Li Yao heard the voice.

It sounded like a prehistoric spell, a whisper of devils, or the mumbles right next to one’s ears that one heard in the middle of a night, only to discover that they were the cries of a baby outside of the window after one was woken up from the dream.

The weird voice loomed above the head of every person from the Covenant Alliance like an invisible swirl.

Li Yao fully activated his senses. His every brain cell was stretched out to the maximum like blooming epiphyllum. Using not his eyes and ears, but his mind and soul, he “saw”, “heard”, and deeply sensed the horrifying voice.

He “saw” that the brain of every person from the Covenant Alliance was erupting brainwaves like a sulfur spring. All their brainwaves soared to midair like black gas and congregated into a slowly-revolving swirl. Thousands of ripples and waves spread out from the swirl. Billions of items of information were exchanged, analyzed, and deployed in such a way.

Thinking quickly, Li Yao immediately realized everything.

He understood why the prisoners of the Covenant Alliance could form a battle formation so quickly and attack like a well-trained army so quickly.

They were not communicating with each other with voices and movements like regular people did, but by boosting their brainwaves to establish a temporary local area network.

One or two spies of the Covenant Alliance who secretly snuck in were all that was required to deploy the entire battle plan to the brains of every person from the Covenant Alliance through the battle network. It was even possible for the prisoners to upload their body data, combat ability, and best techniques so that they would be assigned to the most suitable tasks after calculation.

The efficiency in such battles was naturally much higher than the mobsters in the first district who were simply howling on a rampage without organization.

It was a common way of fighting battle puppets.

Li Yao never thought that it was applicable to human beings too.

That did make sense. In the eyes of the Pangu Civilization, wasn’t mankind just a relatively special “battle puppet”?

This was the first time Li Yao had sensed the meaning of “Covenant Alliance” for real. He truly felt that his heart had been squeezed hard.

The thousands of prisoners of the Covenant Alliance stared at the dome of the district at the same time, thinking that a new enemy would show up from up above.

But as it turned out, Li Yao was by himself and wearing the orange prisoner’s uniform of the felons from the first district. So, he was immediately determined to be harmless.

The people of the Covenant Alliance focused their attention on the jailors before them.

The jailors and battle puppets that had crowded into the third district like tides from all directions were indeed several more times than what the first district had.

After all, the first district was filled with felons and unorganized mobsters. Even if they did escape out of the Godly Might Prison with unbelievable luck, there would be absolutely no chance of survival on the surface of the harsh, ice planet. If they did not want to be frozen into ice, they could only return to the prison and be arrested.

But the captives of the Covenant Alliance were different.

Their companions had already caused great trouble. Who knew if there were more of them behind?

For a moment, all the tough soldiers of the entire Godly Might Prison were gathered in the third district.

The people of the Covenant Alliance, under the organization of the weird “brainwave network”, put up a rather impressive fight against the jailors. Of course, that was partly because the prison was not determined to completely annihilate them and simply used the non-lethal magical equipment at the beginning since they were all very valuable, important captives. When things went out of control, there was little the prison could do to save the day.

Li Yao, however, had no time to bother the hot mess down there.

What he was concerned about was the fleeting time.

Twenty minutes had passed from when he perceived the explosion below his feet at the beginning until the present.

Li Yao was almost certain that the assassins of the Covenant Alliance must have rushed at the spot of General Lei Chenghu’s custody under the cover of the riots.

The experts of the Godly Might Prison, in the meantime, could have reached General Lei Chenghu and forced him to move to somewhere else.

He had been stalled by the jailors and prisoners for too long. If he were to push forward according to the previous route, he would very likely be left behind by the assassins of the Covenant Alliance and the experts of the Godly Might Prison!

It can’t be helped. Recalculate the route. Now, now, now!

Li Yao blinked his eyes. Deep inside his pupils that were as dark as ink, two drops of pigment that seemed to be condensed by rainbows were dripped in, and ripples in thousands of different colors immediately spread out.

His brain cells were burning and shrieking, raising a tsunami inside his entire brain, pushing Li Yao’s computational ability to the limits of the Divinity Transformation Stage together!

Li Yao felt that the world was turning upside down, as if the planet were revolving ten thousand times faster. He almost couldn’t hold back his nausea.

It was a symptom of severe brain concussion.

In order to activate the highest computational ability, he forced his brain to function at a high speed, which made his brain crash the hard skull brutally at a frequency of a hundred times a second.

If it were a regular person, they would have passed out in three seconds at most, turning vegetative or even having brain death.

It couldn’t be helped. The biophysical structure that a human being was born with was not for the monsters in the Divinity Transformation Stage.

From a certain point of view, those who advanced into the Divinity Transformation Stage had stolen the strength that did not belong to them or any human being from the enigmatic universe!

With the price of severe brain concussion, under the boost of such a high computational ability, Li Yao naturally got what he wanted.

Beep, beep, beep, b—e—e—p…

The whole world slowed down before Li Yao’s eyes, as if it had been drowned by a certain extremely thick fluid.

The flying bullets, the raging mystic rays, the blasts raised by the explosions, and the shrapnel enshrouded in the blasts, as well as the emotionless people of the Covenant Alliance, the screaming felons, and the scared prisoners turned into statues that were almost absolutely still were like a group of actors playing a humorous mime.

One gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to everything. Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts turned into thousands of lightning that entangled every person of the Covenant Alliance and every jailor, while he observed their postures, eyes, muscles, and even every micro-expressions, and thereby calculated their combat abilities, battle determination, and current purposes so that he could calculate the route through which he could pass the battlefield in the fastest and easiest way.

The lightning-like telepathic thoughts were Li Yao’s virtual nerves. As the virtual nerves spread out and joined each other, the entire battlefield was swallowed into Li Yao’s brain, turning him into the absolute dominator on the battlefield!

All the information was fed back to Li Yao’s soul instantly, almost as fast as if it were transmitted by his nerves.

As tremendous data were analyzed and outputted, the whole world before him turned clear.

At first, the crystal suits on the jailors gradually turned transparent. In the next second, the muscles of the jailors and the prisoners were removed piece by piece. The details of the veins and the nervous system were manifested too. The wriggling and constrictions of their internal organs were also under Li Yao’s control. Even the pressure that their hearts imposed on the veins and the speed of the flow of blood inside were within Li Yao’s perception.

No matter how weird the brains of the Covenant Alliance’s people were, they had to rely on the bodies of human beings as the carriers after all.

No human being could not be killed.

Within a breath, Li Yao had grasped the fatal weakness of everybody on the battlefield.

But that was far from the end of it.

The walls of the district, as well as the seemingly solid floor, revealed their most fundamental constituents under the crash of Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts, allowing Li Yao to analyze the most vulnerable point in the structure. All the walls and pathways turned clear too, and dozens of walls and channels overlapped. The place looked like a complicated maze of glass.

In the end, all the branches and dead ends in the glass maze vanished. The only thing left was a channel that was almost a straight line.

At the end of the channel, Li Yao sensed more than ten clusters of highly-vigorous life energy unleashing and colliding.

Not good. The experts of the Godly Might Prison must be fighting the assassins of the Covenant Alliance!

The level of the life energy was dozens of times stronger than the jailors and captives here. They must be the experts of the two parties.

However, the experts on the Godly Might Prison’s side were publicly known. Since Li Yao had done detailed research on them before his infiltration, there was no reason why the Covenant Alliance hadn’t done the same.

In comparison, the assassins from the Covenant Alliance were lurking in the darkness. If so much as one of them escaped, it would be a disaster!

I don’t have any choice now. I have to reach the destination in half a minute even if I get exposed!

Li Yao took such a deep breath that the air in the entire ventilation tube was almost absorbed, despite the venomous and corrosive elements in it.

Under the enhancement of the air, all his muscle fibers were burning sufficiently, unleashing the energy as powerful as the main thrusts of a warship.

BOOM!

Flames of light flowed out of his pores like magma, transforming him into a dazzling sun all of a sudden. However, the two parties that were engaged in a chaotic battle down below sensed none of it because his transformation was too fast. It was not until the sun was torn apart and the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit showed up majestically that a few jailors and prisoners who had the keenest senses put on an appalled look.

Beep!

Li Yao crashed on the floor like a shooting star, blowing away dozens of jailors and prisoners who were fighting in a mess!

Thirty seconds of infinite craziness began!
