Chapter 2204 - Majestic Wings

Focusing his attention, Li Yao returned to reality.

When he was discussing whether or not General Lei Chenghu should be rescued with the mental devil in his head with 5% of his computational ability, the other 95% of his computational ability was controlling his body and the newly-strengthened Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit for the last real-life test.

It was in a super enormous cubic cage more than a thousand meters in diameter, which was the most advanced test field in the Deep Sea Palace with random gravity.

The most solid defense rune arrays were deployed in every direction. A lot of the defense rune arrays carried intensive electric arcs that would unleash flames with a temperature of thousands of degrees. If some of them were unfortunately blown to the edge of the cage, they would likely suffer a second damage.

In an environment of “random gravity”, they might be in the state of weightlessness in one second but caught in thirty times the standard gravity with a hundred times the standard air pressure in the next second, which made the challenges in the test field particularly dangerous.

When the mental devil shouted “watch out”, the blade made of special meteorites that looked like the teeth of a shark was only two centimeters away from the feeblest active component at the neck of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit while vibrating more than five thousand times per second.

Not just that, three flying swords were darting at Li Yao’s head, breastplate, and abdomen as quickly as lightning with more than four times the speed of sound.

The flying swords were so fast that the glittering attack rune arrays on their bodies left rainbow-like shadows behind them.

Not far away, more than fifty crystal cannons were bombarding Li Yao crazily, and a hundred vibration sabers and chainswords were coveting him too, blocking every one of Li Yao’s escape.

Everything around him was transformed into complicated data streams and sent into Li Yao’s brain.

They were analyzed by him clearly within a moment with more than fifty possible subsequent changes.

The hundred best members of the assault team in the Deep Sea Fleet, under the scanning of Li Yao’s soul, were nothing more than a hundred targets that moved relatively faster and roared relatively loudly.

“Pu!”

Tremendous black fog spurted out of the gap of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. Li Yao’s body became unpredictable again.

The unstoppable vibration saber was only one last centimeter away from his neck, but it was stopped by his spiritual shield and could not break through the defense at all.

On the other hand, Li Yao simply snatched the wrist of the saber’s owner, broke it apart, and took the saber away from him. Then, he threw the saber backward at where the soldiers were densest.

Hardly was it thrown to the air above those soldiers when the saber that had been filled with his explosive spiritual energy exploded brutally. The shrieking pieces were melted into high-heat metal fluids and splashed like a storm, greatly disrupting the siege of the soldiers.

Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!

Taking the opportunity of the gap, Li Yao released four black crystals the size of the palm. They flew agilely around Li Yao and immediately stretched out into four rhombus shields under the boost of his spiritual energy. As they hovered rapidly, they blocked the stormy barrage, and none of the cannons could leave any mark on the surfaces of the shields at all.

The special crystal material that was mysterious and unknown was one of the treasures that Li Linghai found in the Empyreal Transcendence Sector.

The queen of the Imperium did not go back on her words. Perhaps it was because she was desperately in need of Li Yao’s loyalty to the reformists in such an urgent situation, she indeed brought out a lot of secret treasures from the mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor as a gesture of friendliness.

Of course, Li Yao did not take away her treasures for nothing. It was a win-win situation for both of them.

Li Linghai had discovered the mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor more than a hundred years ago and received abundant treasures and heritages from it.

But Li Linghai was not a refiner herself. She did not know the first thing about the usage of many of the different types of ancient magical equipment or the effects and refining methods of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

The mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor was too important a secret for the ambitious Li Linghai to share with anybody else. Even such a great master as Jin Tianzong did not know that a large batch of treasures in her hands was from the mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor.

So, it had been Li Linghai’s greatest headache as to how to deal with the treasures.

Should the message be leaked, and the four Kurfürst families learned that she held the secrets about the mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor, she would truly be doomed for good.

Li Yao, however, had already learned the secret through the mouth of Li Linghai. He was a top-tier master of refining himself. Most importantly of all, he had half a key that could completely open the mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor!

Naturally, it was not a problem at all for Li Linghai to share the secret with him.

So, the two of them had been cooperating in the past few days. Li Linghai would present the 3D images of the treasures of the Supreme Emperor for Li Yao to identify and study, and Li Yao would work on the materials that he was confident about to strengthen the crystal suits or build all kinds of magical equipment. Part of the materials would be given to Li Yao as a reward.

The four black crystals that looked like both glass and metal, with extremely high tenacity, extension, and resistance, were exactly some of Li Yao’s rewards.

Of course, when Li Linghai just brought them out, they were not dancing crazily and erratically like right now. Instead, they were meticulously preserved in a metal box that was carved with the emblem of the Star Ocean Imperium and locked in a very delicate way.

Li Linghai was unable to open the metal box, and she feared that she would break the items inside if she were to smash it. In the end, it was Li Yao who took the advantage.

The four black crystals boasted a very eccentric feature of energy absorption. Under the saturated attacks of the soldiers, they stretched out further and further, until they almost overlapped and protected the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit inside like a half translucent black ball.

When there was finally a moment of gap after the ammunition and spiritual energy of the enemy’s crystal cannons and storm bolters ran out, Li Yao roared and boosted the black ball to smash at the enemy. The four shields of black crystals exploded and darted at the crowd like four most ferocious black dragons, leaving black streaks of brilliance behind!

Countless soldiers immediately exclaimed in shock. The streaks of black brilliance seemed to have grown eyes and cut the spiritual energy transmission tubes, the most vulnerable parts of their crystal suits, precisely. As a result, abundant violent spiritual energy spurted out of their crystal processor, both disrupting the eyesight of their comrades and resulting in the plummet of the performance parameters of their crystal suits, which were now nothing more than heavy coffins. Eventually, when the gravity was significantly improved next time, they fell like hails and hit the ground heavily.

The hundred soldiers were teaming up against Li Yao alone, and yet almost thirty of them had been blown to the ground by him in the blink of an eye. They could do nothing except to watch the craziness of “Vulture” in midair while they were pressed down dozens of times the standard gravity!

“This is truly gratifying!”

Li Yao grinned, feeling that every pore on his body had been expanded to the maximum, making him more comfortable than ever. “I am absolutely certain that the mysterious world fragment Li Linghai and my pop explored a hundred years ago was certainly the legendary Empyreal Transcendence Sector! Otherwise, there is no way that she can get so many rarely-seen Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and components!

“After the significant enhancement of those treasures, together with the power system that I have carefully built with Master Jin Tianzong’s ‘hybrid design’, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit at this moment is almost a hundred times stronger than the prototype at the beginning. It is as good as any of the ultimate crystal suits of the Imperium of True Human Beings!

“That is not counting… Hehehehe…”

Licking his lips, Li Yao looked at the remaining soldiers who were intimidated and let out malicious laughter.

It was exactly the moment when the gravity of the real-life test field switched from thirty times the standard gravity to zero gravity.

All the soldiers were rigid for a moment due to the sudden change of gravity.

Right when they felt that their heads were dizzy, dazzling light burst out of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and almost enshrouded the entire test field.

The four Cosmos Rings that were embedded to the two sides of the spine of the crystal suit spurted out abundant metal components, which were connected through the electromagnetic field tightly. They turned out to be—

Wings!

Wings that were as magnificent as the eagle’s and as glamorous as the butterfly’s!

It was not the monotonous black or red in the past but with four extra swirl-shaped patterns, two large and two small, that looked like demonic eyes!

It was exactly the result of the perfect upgrade on the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit’s aerodynamic kits with the secret treasures of the Supreme Emperor.

Not only had the initialization process from stillness to the sonic speed been reduced by 20%, but the combat ability at the super high speed was also greatly increased too. With the changes of the four swirl-shaped patterns, the effect of the mental attacks could be greatly enhanced, allowing Li Yao to release massive, large-scale techniques of mental attack to deter the enemy.

Most importantly of all, after the complete transformation, the brand-new Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had completely got rid of the shape of the “Blood Wing” in the past, so nobody would be able to recognize it from the slaughter stream.

It was no longer accurate to describe the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit that had been fully upgraded with the name of “Blood Wing”.

So, Li Yao renamed it as “Majestic Wing”!

Shua!

The moment the Majestic Wing unfolded to the maximum, Li Yao’s mental power also spread out to the entire test field through the four swirl-shaped patterns on the wings.

The dozens of soldiers who had received the toughest training and who had a mind as unyielding as iron felt that their brains were being bashed by a hammer weighing ten thousand tons.

It also felt like a dragon was entangling their bodies while letting out thunderous roars next to their ears!

From the crystal processors that had been connected to the sensors inside every crystal suit wirelessly outside of the test field, it could be clearly seen that the brainwaves of all the soldiers were highly disordered. All their physical parameters were moving up and down beyond their control.

They had been completely intimidated by Li Yao!

Li Yao took the opportunity to flap the Majestic Wing, surpassing five times the speed of sound immediately!

Under the incredible five times the speed of sound, he was still able to control his every movement accurately and almost appeared before the dozens of dumbfounded soldiers at the same time!
