Chapter 1255: Chapter 1034: My Territory
Long Yi roared and directly used teleportation to chase after them forcefully.
"Intelligent interface! Fire the main cannon at that spaceship!" Long Yi bellowed.
"The main cannon is not charged." the intelligent interface responded.
"Damn!" Long Yi remembered that although this intelligent interface claimed to be ’intelligent,’ its actual intelligence was limited. If you didn’t order it, it wouldn’t think of it on its own.
No matter what, blow it to smithereens for me!
In an instant, the Great Explorer, along with Lingling and Little Zi, as well as Long Yi himself, unleashed a torrent of spells. Just then, a red shield materialized around the spaceship!
The relentless bombardment shattered the shield, and the spaceship’s armor as well, but the core remained undamaged! At this moment, a powerful surge of mana fluctuated within the vessel! The crash had rendered the ship unable to fly, but the teleportation mechanism was still intact! It was clear that when Solis fled, he had also kept the ship’s teleportation charged!
"Too late! I’ll go ahead!"
Long Yi immediately activated the Giant’s ring, slowing everything around him, and then he used Divine Power to modify the teleport spell, vastly increasing its range!
Bang!
Long Yi directly crashed into the inside of the spaceship, and at the same time, the spaceship vanished in an instant.
After a tremor of mana, Long Yi knew that the ship had appeared at its destination. He swung back with his sword, creating a gap in the spaceship, then flew out. The scent of Crystal Poison in the air caught him off guard, and then Long Yi saw a red light heading toward a mountain range.
Long Yi looked around only to find that this was the very place where the Ancient Mage Tower had always been mining Crystal Poison crystals.
Why would Solis choose here, doesn’t he know how good my relationship with the Crystal Demons is?
Wait! He really doesn’t know! Solis knows about the Crystal Demons, but he doesn’t know where they come from! Solis also doesn’t know about the relationship between the Crystal Demon Empress Belle and Long Yi, even less that this planet has always been under Belle’s surveillance!
No matter what Solis has hidden here, he’s out of luck.
Long Yi looked back at the huge spatial rift, but he was no longer in a hurry. Coming here felt like coming home.
Long Yi flew slowly, summoning Lingling, who almost immediately contacted Belle.
"Brother Long!" Belle, the Crystal Demon Empress, was very happy to see Long Yi again.
"So, you already know what’s going on?" Long Yi asked with a smile, somewhat out of the blue.
"Yes, I know all about it." Belle said with a smile. The aggregation of various messages, combined with the memories in Lingling’s mind, was enough for Belle to understand everything that was happening.
"Now, we just need to see what he has hidden here." Long Yi said.
"He has hidden a super Crazy Demon here." Belle reported.
"You knew all along?" Long Yi laughed.
"Of course, this has always been my planet. I certainly know what he’s been up to here in secret. There’s a Worm fragment here, with no consciousness of its own, it just acts on instinct. Solis somehow captured a Crazy Demon, then those Worm fragments, following Solis’s orders, turned it into a massive super Crazy Demon. Solis believes that Crazy Demons are the most perfect singular life forms, capable of growing infinitely large, and thus, infinitely strong," Belle explained.
"You know even that."
"Yes, he often talks to himself around here." Belle said, raising her hand. And sure enough, there was Solis in his human form, standing in front of a massive crystal, seemingly talking to himself.
"Well then, let me witness just how strong his so-called infinite strength is!"
Long Yi grinned and was about to charge when Belle put out a hand to stop him.
"Brother Long, you’ve come all this way as a guest. Leave this small matter to me."
Long Yi chuckled. He saw the anticipation in Belle’s eyes.
How strong Belle was now, Long Yi did not know. This was a gap between their planes, and when Long Yi was still in the Human Realm, he felt Belle’s power was just moderately strong. But upon arriving in the Lower Plane, Belle’s power seemed inscrutable to him. After all, the Crystal Demon plane was in the Upper Plane, and Long Yi, coming from two different planes, was practically an outsider.
Belle led Long Yi over a crystal mountain range, and behind it was a massive basin with a crystal several kilometers in diameter in the center. Solis’s red light flickered within that crystal.
"Hahaha, Long Yi... you’ve still arrived too late! I now possess power far beyond that of the Lower Plane! That is the power of Crystal Poison!" Solis’s voice resonated with the crystal, shaking everything around.
"Oh? And why don’t I feel invincible? I also have the power of Crystal Poison," Long Yi retorted. If he had acted on impulse, he probably would have charged in his Fine Gold form already. But since Belle had volunteered to fight, Long Yi was content with just trading verbal jabs.
"Hahahaha! Long Yi, oh Long Yi, you’re after all a Giant! Don’t you know that this Crystal Poison is a life from the Upper Plane? Crossing the awareness of two planes, you fail to understand how to use it! Truly fitting for a foolish Pioneer! So stupid, you don’t deserve to use that body, just give it to me!"
As he spoke, a red beam of light burst forth from within the crystal, a mixed power of False Divine Power and Demon Power fused together.
Clang!
The beam hit the crystal shield in front of Long Yi. Reflected by the shield, it struck a nearby mountain peak, which then collapsed thunderously, refracting brilliant light under the faint sunlight.
"Cough, cough, just say the word if you need help," Long Yi said with a chuckle.
"Don’t worry." Belle eyed the large cluster of crystal below and said, "Just from the power of that one shot, I know it doesn’t even compare to the strength of the children in our clan."
Solis was truly brimming with confidence now; he was almost obsessed with Crystal Poison. Having witnessed the might of Crystal Poison first-hand back when he was nothing but a parasite of a god—a power capable of sweeping across the entire multiverse—he had always regarded Crystal Poison as the strongest force in his heart. Of course, this notion seemed correct enough. It was just unfortunate that he’d slightly misconstrued one thing: just because Crystal Poison was powerful, it didn’t mean he was powerful as well.
He was not yet adept at wielding Crystal Poison, as evidenced by the fact that he could currently only maintain the semblance of one whole crystal.
Even so, he did not take Belle seriously. The Cosmic Stone Golem by Long Yi’s side could sometimes become a Cosmic Stone Greatsword, at times a Cosmic Stone War Hammer, and sometimes a Cosmic Stone staff.
But, in the end, it was just not so clever weapon, that’s all.
As a weapon, what could you possibly do to me?
Boom!
Just as Solis was thinking this, an enormous crater suddenly exploded at the top of the huge crystal that was his body!
"Come on, plagiarist, show me what you’ve really got." Belle transformed a single arm into a Light Cannon, and the charging continued after firing just one shot.
Solis was taken aback; he had thought himself sufficiently sturdy, yet the opponent’s single shot had blasted such an enormous crater! However, Solis didn’t feel any tension, because he was no longer that lamentable being.
"Restore!" Solis murmured, and the shattered crystals hadn’t even landed before they flew back and remerged together.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Three shots in succession struck Solis’s body. He immediately sensed that something was amiss, for each shot was getting closer to his core.
Now, as a Crystal Demon, he naturally needed a core, and that, of course, would be his eyeball that had been affected by Crystal Poison. Solis, who was a Worm, hid within, manipulating all energy flows like controlling a spaceship.
"Restore!" Solis shouted. Bits of crystals filling the sky instantly flew back, and in the blink of an eye, the enormous crystal was whole again. It was then that Solis finally realized something was seriously wrong, for the Light Cannon attacks that were hitting him weren’t particularly powerful, but they could precisely shatter the surface crystals. It was as if someone had completely mastered his vulnerabilities!
Meanwhile, beside Belle, dozens of Light Cannons had completed their charging and were ready to fire.
"Wait a minute! Who exactly are you—"
Before Solis could finish speaking, dozens of Light Cannons fired one after the other. This time Solis finally wisened up; he didn’t just stand there waiting to get shattered. Instead, he erected a shield, attempting to block all the power from the Light Cannons.
However, the sky exploded with fragments of crystal, roaring incessantly. This time, the crystals that protected Solis’s core were completely shattered, leaving his core completely exposed! The shield was ineffective!
Solis was nearly scared witless.
"Recover! Recover! Recover quickly!" Amid his frenzied roaring, the crystals restored themselves once more, and his gigantic body protected his fragile core.
"Do you feel especially desperate?" Belle asked.
"You... you’re not that weapon! Who the hell are you!" yelled Solis. To tell the truth, he was genuinely terrified, for everything was utterly different from what he had expected. Why hadn’t the supposedly invincible Super Crystal Demon shown its expected might?
Belle gave a sly smile and said, "You’ve been secretly building a body here for years, and now you’re asking me who I am?"
These words bewildered Solis; what did she mean by "here"? Is this your planet?
"I don’t understand what you’re saying," he replied.
Boom!
Solis didn’t actually care who his opponent was; the reason he wasted time talking was to buy time for himself to prepare a powerful strike!
A thick beam of light struck with a loud explosion; Belle didn’t dodge, allowing the beam to sweep her within it. Even Long Yi was startled this time, for Solis’s attack was mixed with False Divine Power, a force that could destroy all defenses, letting the target absorb the full power of the attack.
But when the beam dissipated, Belle’s body sparkled with crystal light, not only unharmed but even more energized! (To be continued.
