When Li Yao made his brain boil like a volcano eruption and his vitality fully surge out with a hundred dosages of strengthening drugs as the catalysts, the battle between Long Yangjun and Wuying Qi in the deep ocean entered the most heated phase too.

Inside the domains of the two parties, the crystals and the black fog penetrated and entangled each other, like two ferocious beasts that had bitten each other’s necks hard.

“Heavenly Crystal” and “Hellstar”, the two Colossi, had both been locked onto by the enemy’s domain, unable to move at all.

But flames of spiritual energy that were flowing out crazily were like the most violent undersea currents, resulting in hundreds of swirls in all directions. Even the undersea plateau was affected and had dense cracks although it was an intact piece in the beginning.

Around the pit where “Gold Vulture” collapsed, on the crags that were not so solid, countless gaps were expanding and extending too.

Li Yao took the opportunity to release the invisible saber aura to loosen the rocks and increase the gaps.

Very soon, a dull explosion echoed above his head, and the rocks around his head all collapsed, covering the Colossus tightly.

The sand and the mud soared too, and they dispersed like an undersea mushroom cloud, both blocking the eyesight of the two Colossi above his head and disrupting the senses of the two unparalleled experts.

Long Yangjun and Wuying Qi were both fully concentrated on each other. Neither of them expected that Li Yao’s vitality would be so strong that he could still fight under such circumstances!

“Hehehehe. Old fart Blackstar, don’t presume that ‘Vulture Li Yao’ really has nothing behind me!”

The veins over Li Yao’s body had been expanded to the limits. In the next moment, his skin fell apart, but what was revealed from his opening wounds was not the bleeding muscles but an orange brilliance, as if his body were not made of flesh and blood but the purest, most passionate, and explosive energy!

Li Yao roared crazily and stood straight inside the cockpit, stretching out his arms and legs to the maximum. His fingers and toes were all straightened, and orange threads of spiritual energy darted out of his broken wounds to every unit on the Gold Vulture. The “nerve system” of the Colossus was immediately ten times more copious than before, and the information transmitted every second soared too!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The four Cosmos Rings that were attached to the shoulder blades and the pelvis of the Gold Vulture immediately glowed. In intense quakes, they spurted out abundant gigantic strengthening components.

As the spiritual energy and the telepathic thoughts spread out, the electric arcs in purple, blue, white, or red rose from the strengthening components like the veins of a living creature, before they stuck all the strengthening components to the plate armor of the Gold Vulture.

Having lost a leg, the Gold Vulture could only manage to stand on one of its knees with the assistance of its hands.

But it did not stop the Colossus from putting on layers of new gold armors and expanding significantly. It was so daunting that it looked like a gold giant that had crawled out of the depths of the ocean!

The Colossus’ height of slightly more than thirty meters was not increased by much, but the width had been more than doubled. On each of the two shoulders, the most intimidating portable cannon had appeared, whose energy-focusing disc that collapsed inward helically stared at the battlefield above the head with fury and determination like two enormous eyes.

The gold feathers on the wings behind him had already been launched at Wuying Qi as flying swords. Even the bare skeleton had been shattered and strangled by “Hellstar”. But right now, eight pairs of gold wings that were even more graceful and glamorous had grown out. At the ends of the wings were strings that looked like phoenix tails, emitting colorful brilliance under the dancing electric arcs.

The Gold Vulture had lost a leg, but the unprecedented “Ares Extension for the Colossus” had supportive components itself. Like the eight legs of an enormous spider, they pierced into the undersea rocks deeply, fixating the entire machine and melting it with the undersea ground.

What was most eye-catching was the thirty-six flying swords around the Colossus.

Each of the flying swords was more than thirty meters long, surrounded by the cracking electric arcs. Also, they were being stretched out under the effects of the rune arrays and the electromagnetic fields. Fifty meters, sixty meters, eighty meters, a hundred meters!

The flying swords that had been extended to a hundred meters long were carved with dense rune arrays on the surface without even one inch of blankness. But after careful observation, one would notice that the rune arrays were not just carved on the surface but leaked all the way to the core of the flying swords. “Delicate” did not even begin to describe it. At the core of every flying sword, there was also a “heart” made of marrow crystals, and Li Yao was insane enough to even carve attack rune arrays on those marrow crystals!

No, those “flying swords” were simply too long for flying at a high speed or changing directions. Also, their hardness had been seriously undermined because of the excessive rune arrays too. It was certainly not a suitable form for an acceptable flying sword.

They were not flying swords at all but rails and parts of a crystal cannon. The very purpose of producing them was to blow the cannon once, even if it meant that they would all be shattered into pieces!

The thirty-six rails made of marrow crystals were all gathered on the chest of the Gold Vulture, which had entered the berserker state, constituting an invincible super railgun!

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

Li Yao’s soul was burning furiously. His fury penetrated the combat suit, the crystal suit, the Colossus, and the strengthening components, dissecting the water around into surging tides in bright gold and crimson before it flowed all the way to the top.

The infinite energy contained inside the marrow crystals was ignited by Li Yao’s fighting will too. The thirty-six rails became translucent at first and then almost disappeared, as if they could not withstand the overwhelming energy anymore and about to melt.

In the narrow, long space in the middle of the thirty-six rails, silver spots began to show up, both appearing like the countless glowing plankton that had been attracted by the magnetic field and the whole galaxy that had appeared before Li Yao out of nowhere!

Even Li Yao’s own red and black eyes were stung by the brilliance of the galaxy. This was also the first time that he had increased the power of the strengthening components of the Colossus to such a destructive level without any concerns!

It was certainly not an easy task to devise an Ares Extension for a Colossus. Despite Li Linghai’s generous support with the resources from the Supreme Emperor’s mausoleum, Li Yao’s progress had not been very well.

He could not resolve the issues of hardness and structure completeness when the gigantic strengthening components were moving on a large scale. To be more frank, even if he could indeed craft such an “Ares Extension” and cover it on a Colossus, the mobility of the Colossus would’ve been reduced to the minimum.

Once putting on the enormous Ares Extension, the Colossus would barely be able to move. Such a design was unacceptable in any case.

Li Yao thought for a long time but still failed to address the problem. Too many engineering and design obstacles were involved in it. Perhaps it required years of work of a team made of a hundred specialists before a satisfactory answer could be provided.

Li Yao, who had barged into the Imperium on his own, certainly did not have so much time and so many specialists. He came up with the creative idea that, since the Colossus’ mobility was reduced to the minimum, making it barely able to move, he might as well give up the pursuit of mobility altogether and simply increase the factor of “firepower” to the highest, transforming the Colossus into a half-automatic, monolithic bastion. Would it work?

Of course, it was a rather absurd methodology.

So, Li Yao had never intended to put the so-called Ares Extension for Colossi into a real battle. It was just a cutting-edge study that was meant to accumulate experiment data and performance parameters for the production of the “real” special enhancing components of the Colossi in the future.

Even if he wanted to put the Ares Extension that was still being tested into practice, it was still impossible, because the time it took for the railgun to be prepared was too long. Unless it was bombarding a fixed target, his enemy would have either run off or come close and cut both him and his Colossus into pieces during such a long time of preparation!

However, all the obstacles had been cleared, and none of the problems was a problem anymore.

Long Yangjun had stalled Wuying Qi and bought Li Yao the precious time for a perfect preparation!

“Long Yangjun!”

Li Yao roared in the communication channel desperately, “Stop him! Whatever it takes, just stop him for another three seconds!”

“What—”

Long Yangjun was slightly surprised, not expecting Li Yao to be still so vigorous after being terribly beaten up just now. When she sensed the astonishing energy leaking out of the rocks below the mud, she was even more shocked. Then, in delight, she said, “I knew that you had other moves!

“Vulture Li Yao, what monster are you, Vulture Li Yao?”

At the same time, Blackstar the Great also sensed the spiritual ripples that came from below his feet like a volcano eruption, as if a ferocious beast that had slept for a thousand years at the center of the planet had woken up. He did not expect Li Yao’s soul to be so sturdy. The guy had clearly been pierced through by his most intense mental attack. Normal warriors would’ve been mired in nightmares for days, if their souls were still in one piece at all. But Li Yao seemed to have not been hurt at all, and he was launching an aggressive counterattack so quickly!

“Hellstar” rolled quickly while Wuying Qi intended to dodge the attack, but there was no time.

Long Yangjun’s domain of crystals expanded several times within a moment, establishing walls of crystals around “Hellstar”.

From the depths of the rocks at the bottom of the ocean, hundreds of Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts dashed out and crawled into the gaps of “Hellstar” relentlessly, as if he were determined to drag Wuying Qi’s soul to the ground and make Wuying Qi die with him.

At the Gold Vulture’s chest, in the middle of the thirty-six rails, the “galaxy” made of the glowing spots was completely seething.

“Even the entire galaxy cannot extinguish the fire in my heart!”

Li Yao’s eyes were sunken, but they were even more dazzling than a supernova outbreak. As if he had filled his own soul into the railgun, ready to launch it out, his roars almost tore his mouth apart. “Old fart Blackstar, get a taste of this—Ultra-Galactic Cannon!”
