Chapter 2106 Obliterated!

“Ao! Aooooooooooo!”

Wuying Lan was in such excruciating pain that his internal organs felt like on fire. He couldn’t have regretted more!

In terms of pure level, he was only at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage and had not passed the threshold of the top-tier experts at the Divinity Transformation Stage. Besides, he was not a pure battle-type Immortal Cultivator but one with rarely-seen triple talents in battle, administration, and research.

That was why he had come up with the creative notion of “slaughter stream” and established “the Heavenly Eye Group”, one of the greatest media platforms of the Imperium. He was also able to participate in the cutting-edge studies in the experiments on the Land of Sins in person. Although he might not know them very well, he at least knew the progress of the specialists and researchers in their work, and he could even occasionally shed groundbreaking insights on them.

However, just because Wuying Lan was gifted at administration and research, and he had to deal with the paperwork of the Heavenly Eye Group and the academic issues of the laboratories on the Land of Sins, it did not mean that Wuying Lan’s combat ability was low.

After realizing that his battle talents could only reach the limits of the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage at best, Wuying Lan adopted a different approach and modified his body with abundant research products of the laboratories on the Land of Sins.

He had injected all kinds of strengthening drugs and gene activation drugs into his veins and his cells. He had even replaced all his internal organs with the brand-new organs grown by the mutated beasts. All the weak organs he had before were abandoned and substituted!

In the laboratories on the Land of Sins, “level” absolutely did not equal “combat ability”. For hundreds of years, they had created thousands of secret techniques at the cost of millions of lives, which could exploit the limits of potentials in the deepest part of a human body!

Therefore, although he was “only” at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, Wuying Lan could carry out the combat ability equal to the low level of the Divinity Transformation Stage after activating the most insane bloodline inside his body.

When he was in high wariness, he was not entirely on the losing side even if his opponent was at the middle level of the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Even though he encountered an experienced expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage like Li Linghai, he would still have an opportunity to escape.

It was the greatest reliance for Wuying Lan to break into the energy core cabin and slay the mysterious enemy on his own.

He almost equaled to the entire best combat squad of the Heavenly Eye Group!

Also, the enemy’s strength at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage that he sensed at the beginning was rather fit for the identity of a super expert of Starlight.

Wuying Lan had never considered the possibility that Li Yao was hiding his strength.

By his estimation, it was already the best for Starlight, other forces of the Imperium, or the Covenant Alliance to have sent a great expert whose combat ability was close to the Divinity Transformation Stage in order to deal with an unimportant “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”!

Never would Wuying Lan have dreamed that he was faced with an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage, who was experienced, hiding his strength intentionally, and resorting to such a shameless trap that involved both authentic and false crystal bombs!

The enemy could’ve crumbled him with pure strength, yet he chose plots and tricks?

Wuying Lan couldn’t think it through at all.

The multiple wrong judgments completely deprived him of the chances to escape.

Right now, as Li Yao’s most violent spiritual energy crashed among his internal organs and limbs, vaporizing every mitochondrion inside his every cell, Wuying Lan’s head was an utter mess.

The memories of the past all surfaced on the mind. He did not want to give up. He regretted gravely in pain. He tried his best to survive, even if it meant that he had to kneel and beg the mysterious expert for mercy.

However, he was no longer able to utter any voice of explanation or begging from his throat, which was burning furiously in fear. What could be heard were his screams, each higher than the last.

Wuying Lan had never been more desperate before. He had also never felt that he was an ant more than when he was faced with the mysterious Cultivator.

Wuying Lan’s body continued expanding.

Li Yao’s spiritual energy that was raging like a flood had already burned up parts of his brains, making his ability to control the mutated cells inside his body completely go out of control. His limbs expanded and wiggled beyond his control, now growing clusters of hair and putting on scales, before the skin was completely ripped apart and dissolved, revealing the flesh down below that was as packed as tumors.

“Ho! Ho! Ho!”

Waving his abnormal arms, Wuying Lan tried to struggle, but he could not get out of Li Yao’s control however hard he tried. His body had already expanded to almost five meters tall, but the crimson flames of spiritual energy dancing around Li Yao had been condensed into an image almost ten meters high, which was still suppressing him tightly.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

Wuying Lan’s expansion had finally reached the limits. The mitochondria in his cells had almost been entirely burned up. The bones all over his body were broken and collapsing like a glass castle. Rampant spiritual energy dashed out of his face and his ripped flesh. His enormous body was blackened and constricting rapidly.

“No! No! No!”

Wuying Lan’s soul let out devastating screams before it ran from the shell that was riddled with holes and burning furiously. It turned into hundreds of telepathic thoughts and escaped to all directions, hoping to get rid of Li Yao’s savagery.

However, before the telepathic thoughts ran far away, hundreds of streams of spiritual energy that looked like tentacles had already extended out of his shell, entangling every telepathic thought and pulling them back to the burning shell that was getting smaller and smaller.

Zhi! Zhi! Zhi! Zhi!

The telepathic thoughts already couldn’t constitute systematic thinking, but they were still shrieking like rats that had fallen into boiling oil, struggling futilely, until they were all pulled back into the body in the end and burned up into nothingness in the furious flames!

In less than half a minute, the abnormal body, which was as magnificent as a mountain before, turned into a burnt corpse no more than one meter long, which then fell apart into pieces.

The last bit of the remaining soul dashed out of the burnt corpse and condensed into a fuzzy face in midair vaguely in Wuying Lan’s appearance.

There were complicated expressions on the face, including pain, regrets, desperation, confusion, and many others.

The crystalline lens in Li Yao’s palms hadn’t retreated into the body yet. He opened his fingers and aimed at the remaining soul. As the light balls flashed continuously, it had already been completely blown up into smithereens before it emitted the ripples of begging for mercy!

Wuying Lan, the owner of “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky” who was trying to create a media empire ambitiously, was obliterated in the cold space without any hope of reincarnation just like that.

The only things that could prove his existence was the pieces of the burnt body on the ground that looked like charcoals and the fragments of his crystal suit, which had been melted into lumps!

Shua!

The bloody wings on Li Yao’s back that were raging like angry flames retreated, and the biochemical crystal lens in his palms that were used to activate the Cell Obliteration Cannon disappeared too. He did not even bother to look at the remains of Wuying Lan, who was nothing more than a lackey that did not deserve to waste his time.

Li Yao hurried to jump at the main reactor of the energy core.

Of course, he was not stupid enough to really destroy the main reactor.

It must be noted that the energy core was not only responsible for providing incessant energy for the defense system and the anti-gravity rune arrays of “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”, but it also served as a protector of the overall structure of the space fortress.

If the main reactor completely exploded or shut down, the immense tidal forces alone would have been enough to tear apart “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky” immediately and transform it into the most dreadful meteor shower that would hit the surface of the Martial Meritocrats Planet brutally, making the life on the Land of Sins, which was already difficult enough as it was, even more difficult.

In that case, the ordinary people living on the Land of Sins would have to shoulder a second catastrophic strike.

However, Li Yao did not want “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky” to continue floating above the atmosphere either.

His main concern was that the people of the Land of Sins required the food and resources projected from “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky” regularly in order to survive.

Right now, “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky” had been embroiled in chaos. It could be foreseen that few assets would be projected into the atmosphere in the next year and a half.

The Imperium couldn’t have cared less about the life or death of the people of the Land of Sins. Perhaps it would even save them a lot of trouble if the people of the Land of Sins were all starved to death.

Therefore, Li Yao had to figure out a way to land “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”. It did not matter if the space fortress was blown apart, but the speed of the crash must not be too high. It would be best if the space fortress could be dismembered and sent to every part of the planet so that the people of the Land of Sins would have an opportunity to seize the abundant assets stored inside the space fortress and find new hope based on those things!

Li Yao ran to the control panel of the main reactor.

The control panel was well-protected by him just now with defense rune arrays, unaffected from the fierce battle between him and Wuying Lan.

As he expected, the main reactor was absolutely undamaged, except that its power output was slowly dropping because the affiliated units around it had been sabotaged by Li Yao.

Li Yao took a breath in relief.

The mental devil’s voice came in his head. “You are already done? Simple as that?”

“I’m done.”

Li Yao said, “What do you mean by ‘simple as that’? Shouldn’t there have been more?”

“I thought that you were going to chatter with Wuying Lan for a long time.”

The mental devil said, “First of all, he would tell you all the pretentious but reasonable-sounding philosophies. Then, he would narrate his miserable origins, the reasons why he had to do everything he did, and his lofty ideas. After that, he would unravel certain shocking secrets. Eventually, you would find that he talked about so many things just in order to buy himself more time so that he could perform a certain awesome and dominating transformation. Later, with the ultimate transformation, he beat you up like you were a pig, but you somehow perceived a certain mysterious super ultimate skill the moment before you were killed like a pig, which allowed you to finally kill him at the most perilous and life-blighting moment.”

Li Yao: “… How could it have been so sophisticated?”

The mental devil: “It is not sophisticated at all. You’ve been fighting like that before all the time!”

Li Yao: “Says who? ‘Vulture Li Yao’ is best known for his rapidity and decisiveness. I never talk if I can fight! Besides, I’m in the Divinity Transformation Stage after all; why did I need to listen to the bulls*it of a junior in the Nascent Soul Stage? It would’ve been a waste of my time! Enough of the crap. What’s your situation? Is our ‘show’ ready?”
