Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 2321 - The Most Correct Survival Policy

Chapter 2321 The Most Correct Survival PolicyTo be honest, Yun Kuohai was an Immortal Cultivator at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage with extraordinary computational ability. However Li Linghai disturbed his mind, he was not entirely convinced by Li Linghai that Dongfang Sheng’s betrayal was pretended.

However, Li Linghai’s words were mixed with the dark spiritual energy that had been condensed for a thousand years. When his brain was invaded, he was not entirely free from its influence either.
Seeing that Dongfang Sheng suddenly charged out with his “Smilodon”, Yun Kuohai was suddenly alarmed. His natural intuition was to condense all his spiritual energy and activate all his attack magical equipment, covering all the critical parts of his body.
Being chased by “Hellstar”, he had already accelerated to the highest speed. The “Earth Shocker” was an enormous, super-heavy Colossus, and it was difficult for the Colossus to change direction. Naturally, it was not easy for him to dodge Dongfang Sheng.
Besides, Yun Kuohai did not intend to alter his direction either. Altering the direction at such high speed would only further rip apart the Colossus that was already on the brink of destruction, which would give Dongfang Sheng a perfect opportunity to attack. Chances were that “Hellstar” would catch up to him too.
Yun Kuohai was 90% sure that Dongfang Sheng was on his side, but… what if the odds beat him?
Despite Li Linghai’s bulls*it, she was quite right about one thing. The position of Yun Kuohai’s branch in the Yun family was entirely supported by his unparalleled strength. He could not die. If he died, his branch would soon decline, and his unworthy offspring could not defend the enterprise that he had created at all. They would even kill each other in internal strife. It would be no different from his entire family being wiped out!
Therefore, although hundreds of contingency plans popped up in his head, Yun Kuohai finally gritted his teeth and chose the plan that guaranteed the highest odds of survival for himself.
The plan was to continue to rush unstoppably at Dongfang Sheng who was on his way without changing his speed!
If Dongfang Sheng is on our side, he will certainly jump away voluntarily!
Yun Kuohai thought to himself.
Dongfang Sheng, however, was greatly shocked by Yun Kuohai’s aggressive “assault”.
He had been confused by the black fog just now, and the navigation system on his Colossus was almost entirely wasted. He did not even reach the edge of the world fragments after wandering in the darkness for a long time, much less figuring out a way to escape from the realm of horror.
But however he called other people, he was responded with either the background noises or creepy laughter in the communication channel.
Deep down his heart, Dongfang Sheng already more or less regretted it.
He regretted that he was reckless enough to have been persuaded by “Silver Fox” Li Jiande with only a few words before he saw all of Li Linghai’s trump cards. Had he known better, he wouldn’t have fallen into such an awkward situation.
If Li Linghai was not simply “Li Linghai” but…”that emperor”, or someone who had inherited the strength of “that emperor”, he certainly had made the most terrible decision of his life. He couldn’t have regretted it more.
However, there was little he could do about it right now. He had just betrayed Li Linghai to take the four Kurfürst families’ side. Could he just betray the four Kurfürst families and return to Li Linghai after only ten minutes? That seemed too—
While his head was in a mess, the fog around him was suddenly driven away by a dazzling light. In the next moment, he saw that “Acyclic Earth” Yun Kuohai was lunging at him, screaming and shouting, in his Colossus “Earth Shocker” that was best known for its toughness and sturdiness. In the meantime, Li Linghai’s “Hellstar” was covering the back of the “Earth Shocker”, as if the two of them were going to attack and kill him together!
For some reason, Li Linghai’s shriek echoed next to his ears. “Yun Kuohai, kill the traitor!”
Every one of Dongfang Sheng’s nerve endings almost protruded out of his body in shock!
Dongfang Sheng couldn’t have known “Acyclic Earth” Yun Kuohai’s personality and battle style. The man seemed to be simple and straightforward, and the arts that he had been practicing were all open and masculine too, giving the feeling that he was just a reckless man. But in fact, he was sordid, shameless, and selfish. He would not let go of the slightest interests and would not get involved in the tiniest danger.
Naturally, the experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage, particularly the battle-type ones, were mostly like this. As the saying went, “there are fearless battle-type Immortal Cultivators, and there are battle-type Immortal Cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Stage, but there are no fearless battle-type Immortal Cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Stage”. Why? The reason was simple. Blades and guns on a battlefield did not know who you were. The real bold and fearless guys had all been killed before they advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage!
The battle-type Immortal Cultivators who had survived thousands of bloody battles for hundreds of years and who had even entered the Divinity Transformation Stage, no matter how macho and candid they looked like, were certainly cowardly and shameless in their hearts.
However, even cowardliness and shamelessness had different levels. “Acyclic Earth” Yun Kuohai, on the other hand, was the king of cowardliness and shamelessness!
If someone among “Devilish Abyss”, “Acyclic Earth”, and “Star Breaker” bent under the pressure and shifted to Li Linghai’s side, it could only be “Acyclic Earth” Yun Kuohai!
Dongfang Sheng had not been confident in the first place. Furthermore, his combat ability was far from Yun Kuohai’s, which meant that he had little time to think everything through.
If he were to spend one more second thinking, it was possible that his Colossus would be torn into halves by Yun Kuohai’s “Earth Shocker”, and his head would be punched into a pulp by Yun Kuohai’s iron fists!
Before his head figured everything out, his soul and his body already had natural reactions. The spiritual shield around his body expanded by three times, and the saber that he had been holding in his hand unleashed an aura dozens of meters long at Yun Kuohai!
As a result, if Yun Kuohai did not change his direction, he would be stabbing himself into Dongfang Sheng’s saber with his lightning-like speed.
Dongfang Sheng’s logic was simple and clear. His pose was only the most fundamental, defensive movement. If Yun Kuohai was still on the four Kurfürst families’ side, he certainly would turn his direction and dodge the saber after recognizing the Colossus “Smilodon” and realizing that Dongfang Sheng was an ally.
As for why Dongfang Sheng did not get out of the way himself? The reason was even simpler. It was because Li Linghai’s “Hellstar” was coveting him from sideways, and however he moved, he would inevitably reveal loopholes, which might allow “Hellstar” to swallow him entirely!
From the perspective of self-protection, the policies that they chose were absolutely correct.
However, when the two correct policies cooccurred, they became the greatest joke and tragedy.
Dongfang Sheng and Yun Kuohai both realized each other’s movements and misunderstood each other’s intentions.
Although they were both in the Divinity Transformation Stage, Dongfang Sheng’s level was slightly lower than Yun Kuohai’s, and his combat ability was even lower.
However, Yun Kuohai just had a huge fight with Li Linghai. His Colossus “Earth Shocker” had been deformed by “Hellstar”, and one of its arms was gone. Its combat performance had plummeted. Due to the heavy damage, their real combat abilities were actually similar.
In other words, they posed a fatal threat to each other at this moment, and they both had a slim chance of winning if they attacked the enemy first.
The opportunity would be gone for good if not grasped in the next 0.01 seconds.
When one party’s saber unleashed dazzling brilliance, it was hard for the other party to not join the “arms race” by intensifying his own spiritual energy and firepower.
There was no telling who attacked first, but driven by their instincts, Dongfang Sheng’s saber “naturally” slashed forward, and all of Yun Kuohai’s aggressive magical equipment was bombarded at Dongfang Sheng.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
“Earth Shocker” and “Smilodon”, the two Colossi, collided brutally. Blasts were immediately surging out like tides. It was often the case that the first round of blast had already been caught up by the second round even before it dispersed. A colorful rainbow seemed to be taking shape on the intense battlefield.
In the middle of the rainbow-like blasts, hundreds of interconnected cracks appeared on the shells of the two Colossi. The longest and deepest damage almost pierced through the entire “spiritual residences”, i.e., the cockpits. As the battle intensified, the two Colossi were like two magnets that were stuck together, and there was simply no separating them.
“Traitor!”
Yun Kuohai let out the most furious roars. He was an expert at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage who specialized in fighting after all. Despite the exhaustion of his soul and the disability of his Colossus, he was not to be beaten easily by a fleet commander such as Dongfang Sheng in a duel.
“Earth Shocker” kicked “Smilodon” right in the chest brutally, almost blowing the breastplate as well as the spiritual shield up at the same time. In the meantime, the balance system of “Smilodon” was disrupted, forcing the Colossus to stagger in the midair. Its speed, mobility, and dodging ability were almost reduced to zero. Then, the remaining arm of “Earth Shocker” glowed with spiritual energy, which transformed the entire arm into a heavy cannon or a battering ram. It was about to punch the broken breastplate of “Smilodon”!
Every magical equipment unit on “Smilodon” was moaning in desperation. Under the overwhelming pressure, the cockpit was almost on fire.
His head entirely blank, Dongfang Sheng simply stabbed his saber forward without considering anything under the motivation of his natural brutality.
He thought that he was dead for sure, but halfway during Yun Kuohai’s bombardment, dozens of tentacles from “Hellstar” pierced into the back of “Earth Shocker” and completely penetrated the Colossus.
Even the arm that was smashed at “Smilodon” brutally was stalled by more than ten tentacles.
Yun Kuohai’s punch condensed all of his fury. It was unstoppable and magnificent. Even the metal tentacles could not stop its entire momentum. It was not until more than ten metal tentacles were ripped apart that his attack was finally slowed down.
The result of the other dozens of metal tentacles sabotaging the body of “Earth Shocker” was that the spiritual shield around the Colossus was immediately gone.
Having no time to consider, Dongfang Sheng simply pressed his burning saber forward.
Having lost the protection of the spiritual shield, and because the frontal plate armor had been broken in the battle against “Hellstar” a moment ago, how could “Earth Shocker” withstand Dongfang Sheng’s desperate counterattack?
After a crack, the super enormous saber dozens of meters long with a temperature of thousands of degrees submerged in the breastplate, penetrated through the cockpit, and almost blew the left side of Yun Kuohai’s body up!
