Chapter 3047 Little Black Guides the Way!
Silver ripples were released from the surface of the ‘heavenly tower’, too. Invisible energy fields were condensing in midair, like the calm before a storm. The air was filled with magma, electric arcs, and the smell of destruction.
Li Yao had an ominous feeling.
When the black spots formed by the Vicious Beast Tide stained the entire ‘Heavenly Tower’, the Heavenly Tower would release a destructive force that would destroy the Vicious Beast Tide, the guardians, the tomb of the Supreme Emperor, and even the Pangu Universe outside. Everything would be destroyed.
Li Yao did not know why there was such an omen, either. He could only try his best to fly toward the ‘heavenly tower’, hoping to stop the beast tide before it consumed everything.
He didn’t know what he could stop, even if it was just talking to the guards in the ‘Tower Tower’.
He had to communicate with the rational and calm Pangu Clan or the Nuwa Clan so that they could find the answers together and solve the ultimate problem of the Pangu Universe!
However, before he flew hundreds of meters away, the dense bombardment had blown up the power unit and the anti-gravity unit of the ‘Arsonist’. The acid that could even corrode diamonds stained the wings that he condensed with his spiritual energy. The ‘Arsonist’ fell from the sky like a bird with broken wings and lost control.
Black Hair screamed beside Li Yao’s ear.
In front of Li Yao’s eyes, countless complicated primeval runes popped up on the operation menu, only to collapse in the blink of an eye. The blinking signs that represented the units of magical equipment dimmed down. He lost control over every power rune array. He could only slightly adjust the posture of the Giant God Soldier with his remote manipulation ability, but he could not dodge the fierce bombardment on the ground. Therefore, the Giant God Soldier was heavily wounded and even worse. Like a broken meteorite, it cut across the sky and pierced through almost five skyscrapers before it crashed into the broken buildings.
BOOM!
For a moment, Li Yao felt that every bone and every joint of the ‘arsonist’ had been shattered.
He felt that he had been sealed in an impenetrable coffin. He could neither see nor hear anything. It was not until a long time later that his senses gradually returned to his body. The backup energy source of the ‘Arsonist’ was activated, and the operation menu was restarted. The units that were still intact were quickly connected to each other and assembled into a temporary driving mode that was barely functional.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Li Yao heard an earsplitting sound of metal being torn apart.
The stench of the ferocious beasts crashed into the cockpit through the cracks without any disguise.
As it turned out, a ferocious beast that looked like a hyena had discovered the ‘Arsonist’ and was biting the remaining breastplate of the ‘Arsonist’, trying to extend its hooked tongue into Li Yao’s body and lick his flesh.
Li Yao pulled himself together and picked up a chainsword.
Taking advantage of the moment when the beast tore open the breastplate of the ‘Arsonist’ and exposed himself to the air, Li Yao roared and lunged forward. He slashed his sword as fast as lightning and chopped off the tongue of the beast. Then, he opened his hands, and the light balls glittered. Spiritual energy flooded into the beast’s throat and blew up its brain. It collapsed to the ground before it had the chance to scream.
Li Yao sat down and breathed heavily, trying to restore the combat ability of the arsonist.
The breastplate was gone, and the spirit house was completely opened. The guardianship of the Giant God Soldier on the user had hit rock bottom.
But as a result, Li Yao could see everything in front of him clearly without any scanning or probe magical equipment.
The good news was that he controlled the direction when he was falling and dived toward the ‘heavenly tower’. He was not far away from the super building of the primeval era.
Even though it was blocked by skyscrapers, the enormous object still occupied half of the sky. It was like a giant silver tree that supported the heaven and the earth, leading to the highest heaven and the palaces of the gods.
The bad news was that thin, glittering space ripples appeared between him and the ‘heavenly tower’. They were the fatal traps that could cut through iron as if it were mud and would not accept any defense.
Li Yao could imagine that, if he stepped into the place recklessly on the back of the ‘Arsonist’, he would certainly be split into pieces like the ferocious beasts just now, or be condensed into fist-sized crystals of metal and flesh.
It was the most miserable way to die, even more miserable than jumping into a star during a space jump.
Besides, even if he could cross the dangerous space discontinuities, how was he going to drag the faltering giant soldier through the main force of the army of ferocious beasts?
Li Yao brought up the map drawn by Lu Qingchen again.
However, they found that the area was beyond the range of Lu Qingchen’s activity a few days ago. After a while of recklessness, they had reached an unknown area.
“We are lost.”
Lu Qingchen smiled bitterly. “I never tried to approach the ‘Tower Tower’ from the sky like you did a few days ago. Therefore, I don’t know where we are exactly, nor do I know how to get to the ‘Tower Tower’. Let me remind you, the closer you get to the ‘Tower Tower’, the more seriously the wrinkles and disorder in the space will be. It is like a defense mechanism of the “Tower Tower’. You must not rush into it directly!”
Li Yao was silent. He extended his telepathic thoughts to search the surroundings.
The skyscrapers nearby were like silver-white mirrors that reflected and refracted his telepathic thoughts, forming a complicated maze.
There were traps, ferocious beasts, and endless forks and spirals everywhere. The complexity of the space was far beyond Li Yao’s imagination.
The roars of the ferocious beasts were getting closer and closer. Li Yao could already see with his naked eye that several skyscrapers were shivering under the vibrations of the ferocious beasts.
But he still could not find a way out. He could not help but break out in cold sweat.
Right then, Little Black, who had been silent all the time, suddenly reacted.
It used to be a cluster of gel, or liquid metal, that was wrapped around Li Yao like a black jelly.
But this time, a small arrowhead suddenly protruded out of his soft body and pointed to the left.
“This is—”
Li Yao was dumbfounded. He was dazed for a long time before he stammered, “Little Black, are you showing us the way?”
Little Black rippled in gentle waves and seemed to be nodding at Li Yao.
“What is this?”
Lu Qingchen was greatly surprised. “Liquid alloys from the Star Ocean Imperium? They are intelligent? You believe that they can guide the way?”
Li Yao didn’t know how many secrets were hidden inside Little Black’s body. He didn’t know whether or not Little Black could really see the light of day in such chaotic space ripples.
But it did come from the depths of the tomb of the Supreme Emperor and was even closely related to the primeval relics. If there was anyone who could guide Li Yao, it would be it.
After all, neither he nor Lu Qingchen knew the direction. He might as well try his best!
“Little Black, do you really know the way to the Tower Tower’?”
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao asked, “Or rather, did you stay in the ‘Tower Tower’ a long, long time ago? Are you from the ‘Tower Tower’?”
Little Black wriggled slowly.
He seemed to be thinking, recalling, recalling the data from thousands of years ago.
Then, it pushed Li Yao’s head softly and made a gesture that seemed to be a nod.
“Then… let’s go!”
Li Yao gritted his teeth. The heavily wounded ‘Arsonist’ rose up again and rushed toward the direction that Little Black had pointed.
The closer they got to the ‘Tower Tower’, the more intense the flames of war were. Ferocious beasts and battle puppets could be seen everywhere. Every minute, a skyscraper would collapse, and billions of tons of metal and stones would fall from the sky.
In the short ten minutes of the journey, Li Yao had broken four super-heavy chainswords and three high-frequency vibration sabers that were specially designed for the Giant God Soldiers. The ‘arsonist’ had added dozens of shocking wounds. The closest one was only a palm’s length away from Li Yao. If there had been a slight error, the thick horn would have pierced a hole in Li Yao’s chest. The spiritual shield and interference force field had long been gone. The fuel and ammunition reserves had dropped from 40% to 20%, too, reaching the critical warning line. But their route of retreat had been blocked by the Vicious Beast Tide. Li Yao had no other options except to march forward.
Huala!
Under Little Black’s guidance, the arsonist crashed through another skyscraper. The ‘heavenly tower’ seemed to be right in front of him. Li Yao could already see the tip of the tower that pierced through the sky and the universe around it.
However,
When the arsonist jumped out of the human-shaped hole, he happened to step into the nest, or rather, the rendezvous point, of a ferocious beast. Hundreds of giant reptiles that seemed to have mutated because of radiation turned around and looked at him. The corrosive liquid that was spraying out of the bloody mouth zigzagged to his feet.
Li Yao took a deep breath and forgot to swallow his saliva.
“I knew that I would not have a good ending if I teamed up with you. I was 100% sure that I would be struck by lightning!”
Lu Qingchen exclaimed, “What kind of ancillary system is this? What-Ahhh!”
He was only halfway through his complaint when the hammer that stored his precious soul was ruthlessly thrown out by Li Yao, smashing the head of the first ferocious beast into pieces. Of course, it also nearly shattered Lu Qingchen’s soul.
“We will definitely reach the ‘Tower Tower’.”
Li Yao roared, twisted his hips, stepped forward, and charged. He waved the hammer in his right hand as if it were a storm of destruction, and the chainsword in his left hand slashed through the air as if it were cutting through space. A path of blood was paved among the hundreds of ferocious beasts. “Nobody can stop me!”
The ferocious beasts that had no rationality and only had the instinct for killing were all shocked by Li Yao’s toughness and craziness. In their 100% instinct for killing, they were born with 1% fear.
Some of the rarely-seen beasts even ran away, only to be beheaded by Li Yao.
Li Yao seemed to have turned into a ferocious beast. The most ferocious beast, a beast king that was even stronger than the Armored Storm Dragon, crashed into the path of flesh and blood!
