Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 2252 - Set Up the Brand of Vulture!

2252 Set Up the Brand of Vulture!Li Yao was not sitting cross-legged but majestically with his legs open in a weird posture, as if the most magnificent throne made of the light of all the stars in the universe was below his bottom!

The Imperial Fire Pearl that Li Linghai offered him was glittering above his head. Thick gold brilliance flowed out of the Imperial Fire Pearl and poured on his head and his body like a waterfall, only to be absorbed by all the pores around his body.
It could be clearly seen that every vein and every nerve on his body was rising high. The energy in the shape of the sphere was running at his heart, his abdomen, and his brain nonstop. His veins and his nerves had lost their original colors and all turned to gold. Even his body of flesh and blood became translucent, like a hybrid of gold and glass.
The infinite dominance and fighting will of the “Supreme Emperor”, the strongest expert of mankind ten thousand years ago, ran into Li Yao’s internal organs, limbs, and soul incessantly, cleansing and polishing him again and again to the point that he was almost reborn!
It was perhaps not the scene that Li Linghai wanted to see.
It would not be so easy for a regular trainer to swallow the enormous energy and will that were hidden deep inside the Imperial Fire Pearl either.
However, Li Yao was an heir of the ancient Cultivators who had inherited abundant memory pieces of Ou Yezi, a grandmaster of refining forty thousand years ago!
Although there was not a piece of magical equipment as queer as “Imperial Fire Pearl” in Ou Yezi’s memory pieces, there were a lot of treasures that contained the spirits of the experts and shared similar characteristics and purposes.
Most of the experts of the ancient Cultivators hoped to pass on their strength and will by storing them in a certain artifact.
Some of the malicious guys perhaps even wanted to use the heritage as a bait for them to possess somebody else and be reborn.
The Hundred Smelting Clan, as the best refining sect in the world, naturally had a lot of secret techniques that could remove the impurities and traps in the treasures and activate the most strength in them!
Li Yao did not know the first thing about commanding. Therefore, he simply focused his attention on polishing the Imperial Fire Pearl in the last couple of days. Thankfully, he asked for a lot of rare materials from Li Linghai brazenly and found a few prescriptions of polishing fluids. After trying them one by one, he indeed made significant breakthroughs and found the safest and fastest way to activate the Imperial Fire Pearl stably and swallow the strength within.
In the next moment, he would completely purge and absorb the strength in the fiercest battlefield with the fighting will that could burn up the entire universe!
“Hu—”
The strength flowing out of the Imperial Fire Pearl truly formed a majestic gold throne behind Li Yao, which then turned into a gold armor that enshrouded Li Yao tightly like petals.
Two gold rings had even appeared outside of Li Yao’s pupils on the right eye that was as dark as ink and the left eye that was in the weird blood-red color.
Li Yao’s soul shook violently, and he was seeing all kinds of illusions. It was not one battlefield in front of him anymore, but three battlefields from different time and space.
The first one was naturally the fierce battle between the Astounding Thunder Fleet and the Divine Rain Fleet.
The second battlefield was the bloody war between the army of the Star Ocean Imperium commanded by the Supreme Emperor and the coalition army of devils and demons commanded by the Mad Armageddon. Even the stars were shuddering in fear in the war, and the universe might have been broken at any moment.
The third battlefield, on the other hand, was the battle to annihilate evils that involved dozens of Sectors forty thousand years ago. Ou Yezi led the disciples of the Hundred Smelting Clan into the battle in person. Although the weapons and the magical equipment were relatively underdeveloped, the fierceness of the war was as impressive as the modern wars tens of thousands of years later.
Forty thousand years ago, ten thousand years ago, and right now, the roars, explosions, and moans from the three battlefields, as well as the burning flames, the quickly dying light, the electric arcs spreading in all directions… Everything was overlapping.
Li Yao seemed to see every hideous, angry, and desperate face on the battlefield through the crystal suit. He saw the blood drops that were condensed into balls in the vacuum. He saw countless broken limbs being frozen into ice or burned into ashes by the raging light and flames.
That was the war that never changed and never ended.
For a moment, Li Yao’s mind suddenly passed through the river of time and went back to ten thousand years ago, perceiving the subtle feelings that the “Supreme Emperor” had when he was faced with the battlefield in space.
Did human beings have to brutalize each other forever?
Even though there were almost infinite resources in the universe, were they enough to meet mankind’s insatiable demands?
Was it true that war never really changed however civilizations changed?
As long as the universe was united and all human beings obeyed the same banner, such… ugly wars would not happen again, would they?
Li Yao sensed the Supreme Emperor’s state of mind in the past when he was in a trance carefully. The golden strength that was as overwhelming as a raging flood just now turned into running brooks that nurtured his every muscle, vein, and nerve like melted jade.
Li Yao’s eyes were brighter and brighter, until they were almost bright enough to see the dark universe clearly.
The three Colossi and the thousands of crystal suits that came at him aggressively seemed to have turned into translucent objects. He could clearly “see” the spiritual energy transmission tubes below the plate armor, as well as the operating model of every rune array. He was even able to sink his senses into the Colossi and “see” the faces that were highly twisted and covered in both fury and fear.
Even the starships that were opening fire crazily behind the Colossi and the crystal suit groups were seen through by Li Yao immediately. The structure, functions, and vulnerabilities of every cabin were obvious to him.
Faced with the overwhelming fire of destruction with only one Colossus, Li Yao was not in the least nervous or scared. There was only one idea rolling in his head crazily.
“Let’s go!”
Li Yao said to the mental devil, “Let’s see if we can end this war!”
After all, he was fighting an enormous group of starships with only one Colossus. Even Li Yao was not very confident about himself and had to ask the mental devil to work together with him.
“It doesn’t matter to work with you, but can I propose a minor request first?”
The mental devil said, “Can you take away the three lines of giant words made of spiritual energy next to our Colossus first?
“It is already quite embarrassing that you give this Colossus such a stupid name as ‘Gold Vulture’, and you are even displaying the name on your head with spiritual energy. Do you still have any sense of shame?”
“It’s not on the head.”
Li Yao frowned. “The name of the Colossus and my name are clearly on the two sides. On the head, it is ‘Surrender now!’, which I have tested countless times through all the trouble and built with the coolest sound and visual effects!”
“That is not important!”
The mental devil said angrily, “The important thing is that this is too stupid, alright? It is a hundred times more stupid that the mosaic technique that you came up with last time. Both your friends and your foes will laugh themselves to death!”
“They are free to laugh if they want. This is all about marketing. What do they know?”
Li Yao sneered and said, “Think about it. We have entered the Imperium deeply on our own. There is no force that supports and advocates for us sincerely. Our future is completely in Li Linghai’s hands. If she intends to make use of us, set us up, or kick us aside after she gets what she wants, there will be nothing we can do at all.
“Dragging Lei Chenghu into the same and striking a balance between ‘God of War’ and ‘queen’ is naturally an option, but the approach is too passive.
“In any case, I do not want to entrust the fate of my own, the federation, and even more people entirely to the hands of the Immortal Cultivators such as Lei Chenghu or Li Linghai.
“I have to master the fate of my own and the federation. I must make sure that Li Linghai and Lei Chenghu do not dare to touch me easily, or they will pay a terrible price if they do!
“Then, I have to set up my prestige, or at least reputation, in the Imperium of True Human Beings within the shortest amount of time. I must let everybody know that I am a central person of the reformists and a symbol of invincibility on the battlefield. I must leave a very deep impression on both friends and foes.
“Only in such a way will I be able to play the game further with Li Linghai and Lei Chenghu after the ‘reform’ succeeds and achieve a balance among the three parties!”
“That explains a lot!”
The mental devil was greatly enlightened. “So, that is why you are seizing every opportunity to advertise yourself and even to adulate the political criminals?”
“Of course. For a man as smart as me who never miscalculates, everything I do is done for a purpose. Am I such a superficial person who is interested in nothing but fame?”
Li Yao said, “Now that you have understood it, why don’t you boost the soul together with me to make ‘Gold Vulture, Vulture Li Yao’ larger, more cubic, and more awesome?”
The mental devil: “… No. I’ll give you three seconds to turn off the embarrassing words immediately. Do it now!”
Li Yao: “Fine. Don’t go mad. I’ll just turn them off. But there is also one other issue. When we slash the enemy later, if I perform an ultimate skill, can you display the name of the skill with the spiritual energy? I went through quite a lot of trouble to come up with many awesome names for the moves. It is sort of a decoration of my personal image to build up my own brand!”
The mental devil: “No!”
As they talked, the three Colossi and the tremendous crystal suits of the Divine Rain Fleet had already approached!
Shua!
The giant words around the Gold Vulture, dazzling and shivering, all exploded into unstoppable streaks of brilliant that stabbed at the crystal suits like a storm of swords.
The Gold Vulture that was galvanizing a moment ago also vanished all of a sudden. It seemed to have turned into thousands of clones that dashed into the group of crystal suits together!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dozens of crystal suits exploded at the same time. Inside every explosion, a streak of gold brilliance flashed. As if the explosions provided a new impetus, the gold brilliance moved faster and faster as it lunged at one of the three Colossi that was in the front!
