Chapter 1913: Don’t Touch That!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Li Yao was dragged into a familiar yet strange illusionary land by an overwhelming mental power once again.

The control center of the Pangu laboratory that was lifeless and pitch dark before immediately turned into an ocean that was on eternal fire.

On the raging fiery ocean, every furiously burning tide contained a magnificent and chaotic battlefield. The terrifying being with a human head and a snake body was getting clearer and stronger.

It felt as if the soul of the Nuwa commander travelled through hundreds of thousands of years and was about to be reborn inside Li Yao’s head!

“Why do I have to come across such things every time?” Li Yao felt rather upset. “I made full preparations for the cases where the members of the Pangu Clan may be revived and made sure that absolutely no individual of the Pangu Clan could be brought back to life. Even if they were, they would be beaten into coma, bound, and sent to cutting-edge laboratories in the federation to be sliced and studied. But who could’ve thought that a f*cking member of the Nuwa Clan would be revived instead of one from the Pangu Clan?”

“Haha! Hahaha!”

The hideous, bloody shadow with a human head and a snake body was still laughing in the creepiest way above the ocean that was rife with slaughter and destruction.

“Well, madam, can you please stop doing that? Let’s talk nicely. I know that this is a weird and terrible illusionary space, and I know that I am going through an unprecedentedly uncanny event that probably involves some world-shaking scheme. But to be honest, I’ve been through such scenarios far too many times to pretend before to be panicked. So, would you please stop laughing so that we can sit down and communicate? I’m almost confused right now. Really. Do you understand me, madam?”

“Hahahahahaha!”

Li Yao blinked quickly. Then it suddenly occurred to him that the creature was not ‘laughing creepily’ at all but communicating with him in a certain way!

The human-headed and snake-bodies bloody shadow could be a madam from the Nuwa Clan, the chaos residing inside her head, or an extraterrestrial devil. She seemed to have realized that Li Yao did not understand her ‘laughter’ at all. The bloody flames bounced up and down, as if she was identifying the telepathic thoughts that Li Yao sent over just now carefully. In the next moment, the creepy laughter turned into squeaky energy waves that were short and powerful.

Li Yao still did not understand what she was ‘saying’. But as it happened, the squeaky noises crawled directly into Li Yao’s soul like thousands of wriggling tentacles, allowing him to perceive countless mottled images. He somehow understood what the creature was trying to say.

“After all these years, my warrior, you have finally set me free! Excellent, excellent, excellent! The body you have right now is indeed unbelievably strong. It is enough to accommodate my exuberant soul after we integrate!

“Come on. Let’s join each other and release the most powerful force deep inside our soul. We will conquer the infinite, destroy all enemies, and shatter all the rules that restrain us. We will spread our free will to the entire universe and even beyond! Hahaha!”

Together with the weird waves, the most violent aura that could intimidate and subdue countless experts erupted out, making the bloody shadow enshrouded in flames expand by more than ten times. It stood before Li Yao like a huge mountain that rose into the clouds and pierced through the sky. The ‘cliff’ that leaned inward might collapse at any moment and drown him completely!

Such a suffocating scene would have staggered any other expert at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage or in the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Li Yao, however, was utterly unmoved. Looking at the flames that were licking him like vipers, Li Yao remarked helplessly, “If I may ask, madam, why do you all have to be so extreme? The Pangu Clan wants to abandon all the feelings and desires and turn themselves into cold, walking dead, but you of the Nuwa Clan appear to indulge yourselves so much in your pursuit of ‘absolute freedom’ that you do not have any concept of rule at all. You don’t even hesitate to destroy the universe… I finally understand why you fought each other.”

“Huh?”

Every scale on the snake tail of the bloody shadow erected and vibrated quickly in weird noises, as if she was both surprised that Li Yao was not overwhelmed by her daunting aura and that Li Yao said what he did just now.

“My warrior, what happened to you? Why have you not perceived the true meaning of ‘absolute freedom’? The universe is born for us in the first place. As long as we activate our will to the maximum, what is wrong even if the entire universe is destroyed? We will still be able to ascend to higher levels!”

The snake tail of the bloody shadow waved crazily, whipping out ripples and delivering the blatant and relentless information.

Pausing for a moment, the bloody shadow’s eyes shook crazily. As if she had seen through Li Yao’s soul, she immediately said, “You human beings are rather interesting. You do not seem to be the same as the original warriors. Are some of the barriers of the ‘three fundamental laws’ still lingering inside your body? Interesting. It seems that a lot of interesting things happened outside in the years I was sleeping!

“It explains why you cannot understand the true meaning of ‘absolute freedom’ and why you are so resistant to my soul.

“Hahaha. Don’t resist it. I’m going to completely shatter the barriers deep inside your soul and integrate with you. I will allow you to unleash the most powerful strength of desires and feelings. By then, you will understand the taste of ‘absolute freedom’ by yourself!”

The bloody shadow cackled and turned into a streak of redness, lunging at the depths of Li Yao’s soul.

“Don’t do that, madam. Don’t come here!” Li Yao shouted. “Don’t touch that seal. It is not—”

There was already no time.

Before he was able to finish his warning, the bloody shadow crashed into the barrier in the deepest part of his soul that sealed the secrets of Earth.

The barrier had once been hit hard by Director Lei Yuqin of Deep Blue Super Brain Hospital in Hundred Flowers City before, but Lei Yuqin had been obliterated immediately after the collision.

Li Yao had spent tremendous spiritual energy and soul power trying to break it many times, too, only to make himself dizzy after every collision.

The bloody shadow contained much more energy than the devil that resided in Lei Yuqin’s body. Her craziness and determination were much greater than Li Yao’s own during his training, too.

After a cracking sound, the whole universe seemed to have fallen apart.

The bloody shadow together with the entire ocean of fire and blood turned into magnificent battlefields, devastating pictures, desperate roars, gratifying laughter, and sorrowful cries.

All the most intense feelings, displayed in colorful images, congregated into surging tides and bombarded the deepest part of Li Yao’s soul hard.

On the seal, the crack caused by the collisions of Lei Yuqin and Li Yao himself was finally widened into a bottomless valley.

From the depths of the valley, the blue Earth popped up slowly again, only to wither and decay within a breath, enveloped by furious flames.

“Run now. Run to the end of the world, to the edge of the cosmos. The Vulture Plan has failed. It is invincible and indestructible!”

“No. The Vulture Plan has not failed yet. Whatever the cost, and however many formidable enemies stand in my way, I will come back one day to finish the Vulture Plan. I will destroy it, destroy—”

The soundwaves that swept across the universe, together with the fiendish fire that burnt the Earth, interweaved into strength countless times more powerful than the commander of the Nuwa Clan, or the ‘chaos’ that resided inside her body, who had just woken up.

Two tsunamis of furious flames collided heavily. The smaller one was immediately swallowed by the enormous tides and blown back to where it came from.

“Argh!” Li Yao sensed that the bloody shadow with a human head and a snake body sent out the most appalled waves, which were condensed into intense information streams. “It’s impossible. It’s impossible. Impo—”

The Nuwa Clan and the Pangu Clan were indeed two extremities.

The member of the Pangu Clan that Li Yao had come across on Kunlun had suppressed his fury and pretended to be solemn and nonchalant even when he was most exasperated.

The member of the Nuwa Clan, however, did not have the demeanor of an expert at all, although she was obviously a commander. She was more like a three-year-old who did not know self-restraint and would release the tiniest emotional fluctuations blatantly.

The best description to describe everything that Li Yao saw before his eyes was certainly ‘the moon is not seen where the sun shines’.

Radiation would attenuate, and energy would wear out, often at a speed faster than the attrition of materials. It was even less steady in form.

The remaining soul of the commander of the Nuwa Clan had only survived to this day after hundreds of thousands of years of ordeals. No matter how dominating and rampant she appeared, she was in fact not half as strong as she seemed.

Perhaps, if she had encountered a common Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, when the opponent was overwhelmed in panic, it would have been possible for her to successfully possess the body and ‘integrate’ with the Cultivator.

However, Li Yao had too many experiences when it came to ‘possession’, and he had gone through more trials than anybody else. Also, the enemy had touched the mysterious seal of Earth in the deepest part of Li Yao’s soul. It was almost like the enemy was determined to get herself killed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It was not explosions but surging, overwhelming tides, unleashed from the seals in the deepest part of Li Yao’s soul!

The huge tides blew apart the soul of the commander of the Nuwa Clan immediately. Most of the bloody flames were extinguished. The broken soul fragments squeaked like shocked rats and flew into the air, trying to disperse and run away.

However, the force of corrosion that had been accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years inside the broken soul fragments was too powerful after all. The attacks from Li Yao only made things worse. They could not hold their steady form any longer and turned into the most brilliant fireworks everywhere in the sky!
