Chapter 2946 - As You Wish
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The oath was made without any hesitation. The electric arcs around Lu Qingchen were apparently brighter than before, as if countless raging dragons had soared into the sky and formed a giant 'Heaven' word behind him, before they suddenly collapsed and turned into a revolving halo around him.
It was like Lu Qingchen had established his belief that he would not hesitate to fight against the stars and the entire universe!
Faced with such a scene, Li Yao could only smile bitterly. There was regret and sorrow in his bitter smile.
"More than a hundred years have passed. Qingchen, no matter how much your appearance has changed, your true self remains unchanged. You are still the stubborn, vigilant young man who trusts nobody but yourself.
Li Yao sighed.
"That's right. Not only have I not changed, even your true self behind the twisted and wretched appearance has not changed. I was mistaken just now."
Lu Qingchen said coldly, "… People like you and me are hard to change in the first place. It will be meaningless if we do."
"That's true. If I could convince you with my words, you wouldn't be the Lu Qingchen that I know. It seems that I have only one option, and that is to wake you up from your stupor."
Li Yao's voice gradually turned cruel and hideous. "You forced me to do this. Qingchen, you are too naive. You know nothing about real strength!
The data swirls and information turbulences around Li Yao gradually turned chaotic, dirty, and agitated, as if a new, mysterious, and unparalleled strength was surging crazily from the depths of his earthworm-like soul!
"Well—"
Lu Qingchen was shocked at first, but he soon sneered. "You are playing tricks again. You are bluffing. You've played your last trump card and almost perished together with the Fuxis. How can you maintain such a high computational ability and wield the power to summon wind and rain in the virtual
space? Don't you think that it is a waste of time and an insult to each other's wisdom?"
"You don't understand. You don't understand."
Li Yao's strength grew stronger and stronger, but his smile grew more and more bitter. There was even incomparable pain in his trembling voice. "You really don't understand what kind of power you've provoked. You don't know what kind of terrifying ferocious beast you've released. You're playing with
fire, young man. And right now, this ball of monstrous devil fire is so ferocious that even I can't control it.
"As an elder, my last warning to you is to run away.
"It's true, Qingchen. Suppress its appearance while I still have the last bit of my rationality. Run now! Remember, you must not be swallowed by it. If you are, everything will be doomed. Not just the federation, the imperium, and the Sanctuary Alliance, but even the civilization of mankind and the Pangu
Universe will be doomed. They will all turn into… a bloody ocean!
"What—what are you talking about?"
Although Lu Qingchen had been wary of Li Yao's shamelessness and schemes for a long time, he was still greatly alarmed when he saw Li Yao's serious and miserable face.
He—he had indeed felt that weird forces were surging out of the gaps of Li Yao's soul, modifying or upgrading his soul. The earthworm, which had been plain and somewhat wretched, was gradually enveloped in a cluster of glamorous gold brightness, which was getting brighter and brighter until even Lu
Qingchen's giant of light found it unbearable.
"Run, Qingchen, run!"
"[really… can't control myself. Ahhhhhh!
"You can't defeat it. Run while I still have the last bit of rationality!"
"Bastard, I will not let you swallow Lu Qingchen. For the federation and for the civilization of mankind, I will fight you until the end!"
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Li Yao's hysterical roars, surging electric arcs, and the sound of his soul exploding echoed inside the golden cluster.
Lu Qingchen felt that his blood was freezing. Although he did not have a real throat, he could not help but swallow several mouthfuls of nonexistent saliva.
What—what the hell is going on?
Lu Qingchen mumbled to himself, his face gloomy.
BOOM!
When an earsplitting boom that sounded like a bell rang from within the golden aura, golden streaks of light swirled and dispersed in all directions, revealing Li Yao's incomparably clear soul once again.
"This is—"
Lu Qingchen gasped. "Transformation?"
That's right, it was the legendary transformation, and it was the soul transformation that far exceeded the transformation of the body of flesh and blood. At this moment, Li Yao still looked like a soft little earthworm, but all the flagella on his body were standing proudly. Their length had almost doubled,
and all of them had turned into the purest gold. Each flagella was even surrounded by purple electric arcs, which were crackling as the flagella shivered!
"Lu Qingchen.
" "Xiao Ming.
"Wen Wen.
"Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu! I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. This is my latest transformation. I can still perform the same transformation three times. Qingchen, are you sure you want to be an enemy of Uncle Li, who boasts such a magnificent golden flagella?"
Go to hell, you pretentious, stalling guy!"
Countless sharp thoms suddenly protruded out of the body of the giant of light. Its entire arm was like a long whip that was tied up by countless thorns and whipped at the earthworm that had golden flagella. After an earsplitting explosion, Li Yao was hit precisely, like a fly that had been hit by a
flyswatter. He immediately turned into a mess. The golden flagella broke apart and perished in the ocean of data. Even his remnant soul was tossed into the depths of the chaotic information stream like a kite whose string had been cut off.
"ant"
Li Yao screamed miserably.
"Dad!"
The two kids exclaimed at the same time and glared at Lu Qingchen.
However, they had been tortured to the brink of death by the Fuxi a moment ago. It was already not easy for them to maintain the status of plankton. How could they have the strength to attack Lu Qingchen?
Lu Qingchen sniffed. He was too lazy to deal with the two kids. Instead, he dashed toward the direction where Li Yao had fallen. His two arms were brighter and brighter, as if they had tured from thorns into lightning and were now two sharp sabers.
The sabers crossed and drew a cross of death.
Lu Qingchen searched for Li Yao in the data turbulences like lightning.
Xiao Ming and Wen Wen tried to harass him, only to be blown away time and time again by Lu Qingchen's surging flames.
Suddenly, Lu Qingchen froze.
At first, he narrowed his eyes. Then, he rubbed his arms against each other at a high speed. In the end, he bent his waist, and sharp thorns burst out of his back.
It was like a ferocious beast encountering its mortal enemy. Its instinctive vigilance was stimulated to the limit.
"That's impossible."
Lu Qingchen moaned in disbelief. "What kind of power is this? It is so dark, so terrifying, and so brutal. It is the embodiment of slaughter and destruction!"
"This is—"
Xiao Ming and Wen Wen were both shivering. They were dying like fireflies that were soaked in a storm. "Not good. Not good. Dad really can't control himself anymore!"
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle
Deep inside the data turbulences, dirty bubbles popped up one after another. Malice and evil thoughts that seemed to be real condensed inside the bubbles, which polluted the entire ocean of data into darkness like a stinky swamp.
It was from such a swamp that something slowly wriggled and emerged.
No. Not Li Yao's earthworm, but a terrifying beast that seemed to have escaped from a primeval nightmare!
It had a body that was two to three times larger than Lu Qingchen's giant of light. Black stripes covered its gray-brown skin. Wrinkles and suckers were everywhere among the stripes, and hairy tentacles that looked like large intestines grew out of the wrinkles.
With every movement of the suction cup, an astronomical amount of data and information would be swallowed by it. After being digested, absorbed, and corrupted, it would be released as black venom. The venom was indescribably terrifying and could drive anyone who touched it crazy within 0.1
seconds, including the most devoted Cultivators.
The most terrifying part about the demon beast was its head. It did not have a real head, but the front end of its limbs was a bloody mouth. Round after round of round sharp teeth were growing out of its mouth, from which tongues that looked like dancing vipers protruded out!
The efficiency of the bloody mouth was hundreds of times higher than that of the suckers and the wrinkles. It seemed to be swallowing the entire virtual space.
At first glance, it looked like a sandworm unique to many desert planets. Of course, it was an upgraded version of countless mutations and nightmares.
More precisely speaking, it was Taotie, one of the most brutal space beasts outside of the Pangu Civilization Alliance in the ancient era!
"Hehe. Hehehehe!"
The ferocious beast that looked like a Taotie laughed in a low voice. Bloody redness beamed out of its bloody mouth that looked like an abyss. It eyed Lu Qingchen as if it were hungry and drooling.
"Asshole, bluffing again!"
Gritting his teeth, Lu Qingchen was extremely vigilant.
"Bluffing? Hehe. Nephew Lu, don't tell me you don't recognize me? I've never forgotten you, especially your tender and juicy soul. How fresh and sweet is it? Tsk tsk tsk tsk. I really want to… taste it again."
The gluttonous beast grinned hideously.. "If you want a dark version of Li Yao so badly, so be it!"
