Chapter 1866: You Are Too Cruel

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The pictures in front of everyone’s eyes were captured from every perspective by almost a hundred crystal cameras. Some of them were even simulated holographs made possible by combining countless images. After enlarging the pictures, they could see that a crimson crystal was deeply stabbed into the back of Murong Wei’s head at the most critical location.

Upon closer inspection, they noticed that it did not seem to be a transparent crystal but a gadget that was more complicated and precise in structure and carved with countless runes.

The gadget was not necessarily crimson itself, but crimson exhaust flames were spurting out of the end and enshrouded its whole body, which provided tremendous impetus to push it into Murong Wei’s brain.

Murong Wei was frozen on the spot because he was under the suppression of the crimson, rhombus-shaped magical equipment!

The Immortal Cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they all had profound knowledge from the center of the cosmos, they had never seen such a weird piece of magical equipment before.

After observing for a long time, the captain of Black Ray finally remarked, not very confidently, “It seems… to be a tiny warship?”

As a captain, he often trained himself with a super-tiny training ship the size of a palm, too. In terms of appearance, they looked indeed quite similar.

But the regular super-tiny training ships could not have been powerful enough to ambush an assassin-type Immortal Cultivator who was best known for his agility and speed or to penetrate the enemy’s defense in a moment, leaving even no chance of a scream.

The captain of Black Ray was not wrong.

While the whole attention of ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei was focused on the miserable outcomes of ‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu and ‘Heavy Cannon’ Lei Long and the magnificence of Li Yao, what pierced into the back of his head without a sound was Neltharion, a piece of magical equipment that had followed him since before he entered the Building Foundation Stage.

Neltharion was a super-tiny training ship from the Star Ocean Imperium. It did not boast a high combat ability and was not very impressive by itself.

It had been Li Yao’s favorite tool in the Building Foundation Stage and the Core Formation Stage. But after he ascended into the Nascent Soul Stage, the magical equipment could not catch up with Li Yao’s improving capability anymore. Except for certain stealth missions where it could still be of some use, it was idle most of the time.

However, other than Little Black, Neltharion was the piece of magical equipment that Li Yao had kept for the longest time. During the hundred years, Li Yao had baptized the magical equipment with the blood from his fingertip, the tip of his tongue, and the tip of his heart through the secret techniques of the Hundred Smelting Clan, building it into a treasure that was ultimately connected to him.

Naturally, he could not bear to seal the magical equipment or give it to somebody else. He simply kept it with him and nurtured it every now and then.

In the great battle in the Spiriters’ Realm half a year ago in Hundred Flowers City, Li Yao’s soul had been heavily wounded by the extraterrestrial devils, and he had been forced to divide his personality in half and completely separate ‘Li Yao’ from the ‘mental devil’. Eventually, the mental devil dealt the fatal blow to the extraterrestrial devils.

After that, Li Yao and the mental devil had absorbed abundant tenebrum energy, too.

The mental devil was responsible for the negative emotions in it, while Li Yao was responsible for the digestion of the pure energy whose negative emotions had been filtered. The dual personalities cooperated with each other and made significant improvements in their Cultivation.

Together with the secret techniques concerning soul separation and the invasion of crystal processors left by Professor Mo Xuan, they figured out a special ability by accident.

Although Li Yao’s own soul could not stay out of his body for a long time due to ultraviolet light and radiation, the mental devil was able to surpass the limits of the shell for a while and float in midair freely.

However, Li Yao was not comfortable allowing such a dangerous fellow like the mental devil to run loose outside. Plus, the ultraviolet light and all kinds of cosmic radiation significantly wore the mental devil out without the protection of the soul. In the end, they suddenly came up with the idea of letting the mental devil crawl into Neltharion, performing a full upgrade on Neltharion!

Neltharion had always been controlled remotely by part of Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts. Right now, part of those telepathic thoughts had been replaced by the mental devil. Naturally, it worked perfectly fine.

As a result, Neltharion completely became Li Yao’s clone. While sharing the vision, sound, and the data of reconnaissance, it was now also endowed with powerful abilities of independent judgement and combat. The operating time had been increased by more than three times, too.

Together with the mental attack abilities of the mental devil and the further modification and upgrade to Neltharion that Li Yao performed with the whole strength of the Glorious Sunlight Group, it had been transformed into the most dangerous super-tiny warship in the entire universe!

That was exactly what had just happened. While Li Yao sat cross-legged and waited for the three Immortal Cultivators to come, Neltharion was already hiding at the center of the space station in stealth mode.

The stealth of the magical equipment was not simple optical illusions but involved the contortion of space and other very mysterious techniques. As long as it remained absolutely still, even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would find it practically impossible to notice it.

Li Yao had intentionally released his dominating aura the moment the enemy showed up to disrupt their minds. Then, he launched the most aggressive attacks within a moment. Naturally, it was impossible for the enemy to realize that such a dangerous warship was hiding in midair!

While Li Yao finished the two formidable enemies, the mental devil also approached ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei without a sound. The guy’s speed was indeed what Li Yao was most wary of, not because he feared that he could not defeat the opponent but because the battle would look rather embarrassing if he had to play hide-and-seek with the enemy.

Thankfully, the mental attacks that the mental devil released all invaded ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei’s brain in the most gentle and unnoticeable way, making him utterly unaware of the fatal attack coming from behind him.

When Neltharion leapt out of the void and penetrated the critical location at the back of Murong Wei’s head, even all the deities and fiends in the entire universe would not be able to save him.

“Cough, cough. Cough, cough, cough, cough…”

‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei could not have looked more awful. Thick veins were protruding out of his face, as if dozens of earthworms were crawling between his skin and his bones, corroding all his flesh and blood.

His arms turned back weirdly, trying to snatch Neltharion from the back of his head, but Neltharion drilled deeper and deeper. The exhaust flames that it spurted out also burnt his fingers. How could he catch the intruder?

As Neltharion submerged, the mental attacks from the mental devil further crushed the mind of ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei like an overwhelming tsunami, putting indescribably fright and shock on his face. He was unable to bring out the combat ability of the Nascent Soul Stage.

“Mwahaha. I told you that my capability would soar to an unprecedented level after absorbing the tenebrum energy left by the extraterrestrial devils!”

The mental devil’s wild laughter echoed from deep inside Neltharion. Of course, Li Yao was the only one who could hear it.

“This is the tenebrum energy that the extraterrestrial devils have accumulated for a thousand years after arduous efforts. All the essence in it was absorbed by me. That’s why I can construct such terrible illusions. How can an Immortal Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage escape from my hands? Hehe. Hahaha!”

“Can I offer a suggestion?” Li Yao commented. “I don’t object to your laughter now that you have made great accomplishments in training, but can you laugh less evilly? This is a very righteous anti-invasion war. We are the good guys. Don’t laugh like a villain!”

“Well, I don’t mean to,” the mental devil said, “but I’ve absorbed too many negative emotions in the past six months. This is also the first time that I’ve tried to combine the biotechnology and the cybertechnology into a new brain invasion technique. I can’t help but feel excited!”

“Speaking of which, what kind of dreadful illusions have you poured into his brain to make him look so awful as if he would be better off dead?”

“It’s nothing. I have merely hypnotized him and misled him into thinking that his limbs and spine have been broken, and he was paralyzed on a sickbed, unable to move at all.”

Li Yao was slightly dazed and then amused.

For an assassin-type Immortal Cultivator who was best known for his speed and agility, a broken spine and full paralysis were indeed the most insufferable pain in the world.

“A fox may turn gray but never kind. You are too cruel.”

While Li Yao was talking, he had already walked in front of ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei.

He sighed softly, with a slight hint of confusion on his face, as if he were puzzled over why the few Immortal Cultivators were even courageous enough to offer to challenge him one by one. historical

Then—

Boom!

At this moment, Li Yao had taken off the broken crystal suit on his body. The only thing left was a mustard-seed combat suit that was as thin as paper.

But when he turned around on the spot and launched a kick, ten thousand rune arrays seemed to be bursting out the most brilliant light behind his right leg, turning his right leg into a saber that could cut apart the three-dimensional space!

The enormous boom did not echo from his right leg that had been curved into a saber but from the bottom of his left leg, with which he supported his body and exerted his strength.

After the boom from his supporting leg, almost a hundred enormous cracks penetrated the entire space station along the cabin wall!

It was not until this moment that his right leg kicked ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei right in the chest as fast as lightning, shattering the crystal suit on the enemy’s body into pieces no larger than fingernails that spluttered everywhere.

Murong Wei himself was blown backward like a bullet, turning into a flashing red line that bounced back and forth on the cabin walls, leaving almost five bloody marks behind, until he was deeply embedded in a cluster of messy tubes and crystal wires after an ear-splitting explosion.

The tubes spurted out gas nonstop, and the crystal wires were uttering weird noises. Murong Wei did not get a chance to perform the attacks and evasions that he was most proud of before he was crushed, his life in danger.

Of the three Immortal Cultivators, two had been beaten to a pulp, and one was floating in space. All of them had been vanquished.

At that moment, Li Yao’s entire right leg was enshrouded in dark red flames. The right leg of the mustard-seed combat suit, which was made of more than thirty Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and the most advanced material technology, had been completely burnt up in the high-speed collisions and the outburst of spiritual energy.
