Chapter 2845: Erosion of the Four-Dimensional Space

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Yao had experienced countless space jumps, but he had never seen such large-scale space ripples surging among the dark stars simultaneously.

It was like a million elephants, no, a million furious, bloodthirsty, enormous dinosaurs were trying to pierce through a tiny needle at the same time.

Li Yao could not begin to imagine how many crystals and fuel the people of the Sanctuary Alliance had spent to plan the super large-scale space jump and how much computational ability they had used to deploy so many starships and the supreme fortress that was as large as an asteroid in order to

transmit the mass of the object to several lightyears away simultaneously.

Besides, Li Yao was well aware that, with such a dense mass of materials jumping together, no matter how delicate the arrangements were, no matter how good the safety measures were, and no matter how lucky they were, at least a few percent of the starships would be wrecked.

Some of them jumped to the planets and stars of the Empyreal Terminus Sector, and some of them overlapped with other starships in the four-dimensional space. An apocalyptic explosion took place at the atomic level, making countless starships nearby disappear together with their crew members.

The cruel ending beyond description was enough to make any crew member, whether they were a Cultivator or an Immortal Cultivator, reject such suicidal attacks.

Only the members of the Sanctuary, who had no self-awareness and considered themselves to be a tiny worker bee or soldier bee in the entire ‘swarm’ or even an insignificant cell, could resort to such insane, fearless tactics.

Li Yao could not stop it. He could only watch the three-dimensional universe around him being torn apart by the crazily surging black ripples. The stable space was twisted and blurred. The glittering exhaust flames turned into colorful kaleidoscopes. He and the entire fleet of the Fuxi fleet entered the

four-dimensional space again.

This time, Li Yao had experience.

They were like the first batch of fish that climbed on land. They gradually evolved into amphibians and grasped the ability to move freely in the swamp.

Swallowing and chewing the pieces of the four-dimensional space was as natural as breathing for him.

Endless data was flooding to him. The firewalls of all the mainframe crystal processors of the fleet were falling apart in the four-dimensional space, which did not hinder him at all.

Li Yao was going to take the opportunity to crawl into the cluster of super crystal processors that carried the ‘Fuxi System’, but a subtle anomaly stopped him in time.

It was like… a viper lurking in the deepest crevice had sensed the existence of its own kind.

“Huh?”

Li Yao thought quickly and aimed his telepathic thoughts at the four members of Yaksha’s squad.

In the four-dimensional space, the metal cocoon that sealed Chu Zhixiao and the rest of them had completely collapsed, turning into streaks of silver brightness that surrounded their bodies slowly. Their bodies were like a spring from which their souls were blossoming like water.

Li Yao discovered that four streams of venom that were similar to his telepathic thoughts flowed out of the souls of Chu Zhixiao and the rest of them and crossed all the barriers toward the cockpit.

“I’s the puppet king—Lu Qingchen!”

Li Yao pondered for a moment and suddenly realized what was going on. No wonder the guy was so confident that he detonated his soul and pretended that he was heavily wounded. He also allowed the five supreme masters to dissect and study his remaining soul without any resistance.

“As it tumed out, he had hidden the most sordid power in his soul inside the brains of the four members of the yaksha squad!

“When did it happen exactly?

Right. Maybe the reason why he released the ‘Furious Virus’ in the riot of ‘Eternal Brightness’ and turned the entire Brightness City into a slaughterhouse was not just to attract the attention of the Great Sage, but also to corrupt the brains of the four members of the yaksha squad and plant the most critical

virus, the real virus that could breach the firewall of the ‘Fuxi System’ and the mental defense of the Great Sage!

“Or maybe, earlier than that, in the big explosion of ‘Light Chaser’, he had tampered with the brains of Chu Zhixiao and the rest of them through mental attacks and kept it a secret. It was not until this moment, when the fleet of the Fuxis entered the decomposition state of the four-dimensional space and

the defense of the crystal processors and the human brain was at the minimum, that he launched the fatal attack!

Human beings were living creatures in the three-dimensional world, and crystal processors were magical equipment in the three-dimensional world, too. Entering the four-dimensional world suddenly was the most vulnerable and vulnerable moment.

‘When Li Yao was in the Star Glory Federation, he had suffered a mental attack from ‘Mo Xuan the extraterrestrial devil’ during a space jump. Had Li Yao not been awakened in time, he would’ve been dragged into the ‘spiritual world’ by Mo Xuan and be doomed forever.

Lu Qingchen’s methods were similar to Mo Xuanru’s. Naturally, he had the ability to spread viruses in the four-dimensional world and corrupt the brain.

However, it was a pity that he had run into Li Yao again. Li Yao, who had been fully upgraded and whose techniques were even higher than his own!

Hiding his soul in the chaotic data streams, Li Yao observed Lu Qingchen’s movements coldly.

The four streams of black venom snuck into the cockpit and crawled into the thousands of crystal brains like vipers.

Even though the thousands of crystal brains were the ultimate magical equipment of the primeval civilization, their defense ability in the four-dimensional space was no different from that of the crystal processors refined by human beings.

Li Yao could clearly see that one crystal brain after another was corrupted by the venom and turned black.

Besides, the blackness spread out like a virus, from one crystal brain to two, from two to four, from four to eight, from eight to sixteen, from sixteen to thirty-two, increasing the number of infections exponentially. Within a moment, more than thirty percent of the crystal brain had been contaminated by

Lu Qingchen’s mysterious scent.

Before, the ‘Fuxi System’ had been absorbing information from Lu Qingchen’s broken soul.

However, as more and more crystal brains were infected, the ‘Fuxi System’ continued to pour data into Lu Qingchen’s soul, regrouping his dispirited soul and making it even more dominating than before.

“Lu Qingchen is taking a big risk by performing a great teleportation!”

Li Yao thought to himself, “The five great masters only thought that the young man with the deformed and swollen brain was Lu Qingchen’s real body. Even though Lu Qingchen was an extraterrestrial devil, his soul and brain were inseparable when he possessed the young man.

“But he didn’t know that Lu Qingchen was a ‘Heavenly Devil of the Spiritual Nexus’. He had grasped the ability to shuttle between the human brain and the crystal processor freely and to live in the Spiritual Nexus. He had traded the brain of the young vegetable for the mainframe crystal processor of the

‘Fuxi System’. If his scheme succeeded, the entire fleet of the Fuxi fleet would become his body!

Such a plan was indeed terrifying.

Li Yao’s soul was restless for a long time before he resisted the urge to stop Lu Qingchen right now.

The Five Great Masters could not be five pigs who did not even notice such an arrogant plan.

Maybe it would be better if he waited until Lu Qingchen was beaten to a pulp before he went out to take advantage of the situation. Maybe by then, he could finish Lu Qingchen’s unfinished business and turn the entire fleet of the Fuxi Clan into his—Vulture Li Yao’s body.

However, the five wise masters seemed to be five ignorant pigs. Lu Qingchen was about to complete the full invasion of the ‘Fuxi System’, but they still showed no response.

Moreover, Lu Qingchen’s ‘poison’ was flowing toward the brains of the five great sages through the special route of the Spiritual Nexus between ‘Ultimate Rescue’ and the five supreme fortresses. The five ‘emissaries of the gods’ did not notice anything wrong, either.

“It can’t be, right? Could it be that these five guys really only know how to play tricks? Could it be that they were lucky enough to obtain the power from the primeval ruins, and that’s why they became Oracles? In fact, they are not like the real experts of mankind who have gone through the tempering of

their beliefs and the tempering of cruel struggles?”

Li Yao thought to himself, Now that Lu Qingchen’s plan has worked out, what is he waiting for?

Pausing for a moment, Li Yao got the answer without the reminder of the mental devil.

“Understood. He was waiting for the moment when the fleet of the Fuxi fleet got rid of the four-dimensional space and jumped to the center of the Empyreal Terminus Sector.

“It is like the landing of a beach. The moment the landing crafts reach the enemy’s beachhead, they are bound to be attacked by the most ferocious firepower of the defenders. Their defense is at its weakest.

“Right now, Lu Qingchen has only completed the procedure of ‘installting the virus’. That moment is the perfect opportunity for the outbreak of the virus to seize the fleet of the Fuxi Clan!

Hardly had the thought crossed Li Yao’s mind when he felt that the space around him was shivering. The kaleidoscope was collapsing and solidifying, and it returned to its normal appearance.

‘The four-dimensional space was shrinking rapidly into the three-dimensional space again.

They had arrived!

So fast!

Li Yao thought to himself, Right. The fleet of the Fuxi fleet has been lurking near the Empyreal Terminus Sector for a long time. Naturally, it will take decades to cover the distance of several lightyears at the normal cruising speed. But in a space jump, it will only take a moment. I wonder, the guardians of

the Empyreal Terminus Sector, Little Ming and Wenwen—

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Before Li Yao realized what was going on, a storm of explosions had already begun.

They were like a big bowl of ice cubes poured into boiling oil, which immediately triggered the most intense reaction.

Although most of the soldiers of the imperial army were caught in the mud of the civil war and far away from the capital city, the defense line of the capital city, under the construction and modification of Xiao Ming, Wen Wen, and the Fist King, was taking a big step toward ‘automatic defense’.

With the idea of ‘making up for quality with quantity’, they had deployed countless cosmic mines and unmanned armed shuttles in the periphery of the capital city. They had even combined the mines and armed shuttles to produce a lot of ‘big iron balls’ that were extremely magnetic and could sprint at a

high speed. When they sensed the abnormal space ripples, they would swarm out and attach themselves to the enemy warships that had not been fixed yet, before they exploded and perished together with the enemy..
