Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Chapter 3130: So It Was You!

“Even Yan Liren’s attack was completely useless?”

Li Yao was secretly alarmed.

Among all the human experts, although Yan Liren’s Cultivation was not the highest, his unparalleled attack ability and unpredictable sword arts were among the top five or even the top three. Even his full-strength strike failed to deal any damage to the indigo demon? How was it possible?

No. It was not completely harmless. Li Yao’s eyes were sharp enough to notice that the legs of the Indigo Devil had been drowned in the ocean of foam. Dozens of pink tentacles had extended out of the ocean of foam and spiraled all the way to its hips and waist, as if endless cells and strength had been injected into its body.

The Indigo Devil was not a lone monster but a clone condensed by the entire sea of foam. No matter how seriously it was wounded or how many cells were destroyed, the sea of foam would immediately send the same number of cells to it, allowing it to grow and expand crazily all the time. Any injury could be healed instantly.

In other words, Li Yao and the other human experts, as well as the ancient experts such as the Moongazer Serpents, were not facing a monster at all, but an ocean of foam that was an astronomical ‘super-cell amalgamation’ with independent life and will!

“What is it exactly? Some kind of... tumor?”

Li Yao swallowed hard.

Infinite expansion, infinite reproduction, infinite division and growth. Such a weird property reminded Li Yao of a special cell—cancer cells!

Huala! Huala! Huala!

“Hooooo!”

Shua! Shua! Shua!

When the experts were all blocked by the Indigo Devil God and caught in a stalemate, three enormous monsters suddenly crawled out of the sea of foam nearby.

One of the monsters looked like a hybrid of a griffin and a nine-headed dragon. It had blood-red bone wings and membranes and nine heads that looked like vipers.

One of the monsters was like an Overlord Squid that was hundreds of times larger than the super-large jellyfish. Colorful and weird colors were blossoming on its body. It was floating in midair, but dozens of tentacles were hanging in the sea of foam, absorbing the immense cells and strength.

The last monster was like a leopard and a wolf. Its waist was like a bow, its limbs were like blades, and its head was like a giant drop of water. From head to tail, it was streamlined and gave a strong sense of speed. However, it did not have the skin or shell that a normal high-level life form should have. Its muscles, which were full of explosive strength, were directly exposed to the air, only protected by clusters of bright red mucus. It looked like it was being skinned alive, especially its face, which was full of interweaving muscle fibers, and the two giant eyeballs that were bulging out of its eye sockets. Staring at the human experts, it gave them a creepy feeling.

Four monsters, or rather, ‘demons’, surrounded the dozens of giant soldiers of the human beings from four directions.

Although the dozens of giant soldiers of human beings had the absolute advantage in terms of numbers, they did not have any psychological advantage when they were faced with the surging ocean of foam.

One indigo devil was already enough to attract the attention of all the Giant God Soldiers. How was he going to deal with three more brutal-looking ones?

If all the monsters had indestructible spiritual shields and the terrifying ability to heal themselves instantly, they would be the clones of the entire ocean of foam. How could the battle be fought?

Besides—

Li Yao’s pupils constricted violently as he stared at the ‘Venomous Jellyfish’ floating in the air in the southwest.

On the head of the monster, there was a slightly smaller shadow that looked somewhat familiar. It was Gu Wuxin, the leader of the Heavenly Palace who had suffered a joint attack from the ‘Exterminator Sect’ and the ‘Dragon Lotus Seed’. One of his arms had been torn off, and he had fallen into the depths of the magma!

Li Yao had thought that Gu Wuxin had perished in the magma and been burnt to ash. He did not expect that, at this moment, not only was there no trace of burning magma on his body, even his broken arm had grown back. It was even thicker and more hideous than before. The surface of the arm was covered in bone blades that could cut through iron as if it were mud and crystals that contained tremendous energy, which were emitting visible heatwaves.

“How did this happen?”

The Observer could not believe her eyes. Li Yao could clearly feel her shock and sorrow. “You are our leader and the most distinguished researcher. How did you—”

“I should’ve realized it earlier. The weirdness and mutations that took place inside and outside the primeval relics, from the location of the captives of the Flood Tide Legion in the beginning to the weird teleportation arrays that corrupted the Heaven’s Origin Sector, and of course, the endless tides of ferocious beasts. The real schemer behind all of this could not have been outsiders such as ‘Exterminate All’ or ‘Long Lianzi’. The only person who was familiar with the situation inside the primeval relics and closest to the captives of the Flood Tide Legion was you, ‘Gu Wuxin’, leader of the Pantheon of Immortals!

Gold brightness and blood were swirling slowly inside Li Yao’s eyes. He had never been so solemn before. “It seems that, when the Pangu Fleet and the Flood Tide Legion met for the first time hundreds of thousands of years ago, they seemed to have defeated the enemy. But in fact, they were corrupted by the enemy and decided to put the two research bases together.

“In the thousands of years that followed, the Flood Tide’s strength was gradually influenced by the captives or magical equipment of the Flood Tide Legion bit by bit. Finally, thousands of years later, a critical minion, namely you, the leader of the Heavenly Palace, was transformed!

“A lot of important intelligence in the Heavenly Palace was leaked by you, wasn’t it? You told the situation of the Heavenly Palace, including advanced technology and powerful magical equipment, to the two ambitious, brutal commanders named ‘Slaughter Sect’ and ‘Long Lianzi’, so that they would be tempted to attack the ancient relics.

“The so-called ‘monster virus’ has turned most of the ancient, intelligent species into inhuman, crazy monsters. I’m afraid that you or your ‘senior’ will have to fan the flames.

“As for your purpose, let me see. I’m afraid that you don’t care about the ‘ultimate test’ at all. From the very beginning, you’ve been trying to muddy the waters and attract everyone’s attention to the ‘ultimate test’. It would be best if the forces of ‘Death of All’ and ‘Dragon Lotus’ as well as most of the guardians of the Heavenly Palace suffered heavy casualties in the tower and perished together. You, on the other hand, pretended to be dead and escaped from the tower to District 47, where you repaired the teleportation arrays and starships unscrupulously and sent messages to the depths of the flood in the center of the universe beyond the Pangu Universe!

“What a cunning plan.

“You almost succeeded... In your scheme, no one could resist the temptation of the ‘ultimate test’. Whether it was the ‘Exterminate the masses’, the ‘Dragon Lotus Seed’, or everyone else in the Heavenly Palace except for you, under the circumstances where there was no other choice, you could only treat the ancient legacy as your only life-saving straw. All the experts were gathered inside the Heaven’s Path Tower, so no one would notice the anomaly in District 47. I’m afraid that, when the ultimate test failed again and all the living creatures were wiped out, you would have already sailed away on the Flood Tide Battleship across the Bifrost.

“It’s a pity that you overlooked an unexpected factor, which was the ‘other half of the Fuxi’, the mainframe crystal processor of the Heavenly Palace!

“I finally understand why the ‘half of the Fuxi’ suggested that you activate the ‘time-warp magical equipment’ and seal and freeze the entire primeval relics.

“At first, I thought that the other half of the ‘Fuxi’ had calculated that there would be new hope in hundreds of thousands of years, namely human beings. But now that I think about it, the idea is too narcissistic. Even though the other half of the ‘Fuxi’ has amazing computational ability, it is impossible for them to foresee the rise of the human civilization hundreds of thousands of years later.

“It was not until then that I learned that the other half of the ‘Fuxi’ did not foresee the rise of the human civilization but captured your anomaly.

“It should’ve warned everyone in the Heavenly Palace, but I estimate that, as the leader of the Heavenly Palace, you must have the highest clearance to manipulate it, which makes it impossible for it to point out that you are a puppet of the Flood Tide, nor can it leak such important information to other people. Any hostility from it will be detected and tampered with by you. It cannot stop you and can only stall for time.

“Therefore, it selected the only feasible strategy out of all the targeted strategies and postponed your evil plan for hundreds of thousands of years.

“Although you are the leader of the Heavenly Palace, it is impossible for you to reject the rationalization proposal of the mainframe crystal processor without a good reason. It will only raise the suspicion of more researchers. Besides, you don’t think that there will be any setbacks if you delay for hundreds of thousands of years. After all, the Pangu civilization outside has already collapsed, and all the intelligent creatures inside the primeval relics will be sealed. Even if you wake up one day, you will be one of the first to wake up. Nobody can stop you from transmitting information to the outside of the Pangu Universe.

“You didn’t expect that the civilization of mankind would rise to such an extent in only a hundred thousand years.

“You did not expect that the ‘ultimate test’, which had not been cracked for billions of years, would be broken by us so quickly that we appeared in front of you before your ‘Rainbow Bridge’ and your ‘Tidal Warship’ were ready.

“Just admit it, Gu Wuxin. You’ve completely lost yourself. You’ve become the lackeys and claws of the tides, a pitiful worm without a soul!

Li Yao condensed the questions and the boundless fighting will into spiritual waves that seemed to be real and slashed at ‘Gu Wuxin’, the leader of the Heavenly Palace, like an unstoppable axe.
