Chapter 432: Li Yao's Choice
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
"I won't die," said Li Yao softly .
It was both like a promise to Ding Lingdang and a murmur to himself .
The faster his hands were moving, the more tranquil his face became . His firm voice was transmitted to everyone's ears like unstoppable falling stars .
"I promise you that I definitely won't die . I will just… be away for a while!
"But I will come back again very soon . I will return to the Heaven's Origin Sector and fight with you and everyone with stellar magical equipment under my feet!"
"Away?"
Everyone was dazed .
Ding Lingdang was somehow confused . Then, she realized what was going on as if lightning had struck her mind . She lost control and burst out, "Li Yao, you—"
Li Yao licked his dry lips and connected the last crystal wire . A new spiritual energy circulation started functioning!
Whatever was left of the spiritual reserve on the warship surged crazily toward the 'space jump system'!
The large teleportation array in the center of Sparkle suddenly glittered . Spiritual patterns and rune arrays spurted out colorful brilliance which rippled out like rainbows!
As a multipurpose exploration warship, the space jump system loaded on Sparkle far exceeded its scale; it was supposed to be installed on the main force warships more than three thousand meters long .
Usually, Sparkle and all the materials five kilometers nearby could be transported thousands of lightyears away with the teleportation range locked in 50% .
When Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures too large to be stored or dissected were detected in a foreign constellation, they could be bound to the shell of Sparkle and be teleported back to a base by upgrading the teleportation range to 60% or even higher .
But right now, Li Yao had overridden the warnings and set the teleportation range at 120% by force without care for himself!
As a result, everything within a hundred cubic meters of Sparkle would cruise the sea of stars by shattering the void!
Shattering the void meant going into the four-dimensional universe from the three-dimensional one before being compressed back . It was an extremely dangerous process .
Even the Cultivators who boasted abundant spiritual energy in a starship whose shell was intact might suffer serious consequences because of breaking through the void after a space jump .
It was inevitable for any creatures undergoing the process!
Right now, Skeleton Dragon was weaker than ever . In order to counterattack the drill of mystic rays, it must've used up most of its strength . Li Yao didn't believe that it could keep itself safe and sound with nothing but its body in a crazy space jump!
The odds were ten to one that its body would be torn apart by the endless cosmic storms!
Also, Li Yao didn't input the coordination of his destination because of the lack of a star map . Even if Skeleton Dragon was lucky enough to survive the disaster, since Sparkle could be transported to any random point in the furthest space jump distance, both of them would be far away from the Heaven's Origin Sector wherever they ended up in the boundless universe .
This was the ultimate plan that Li Yao came up with now that he was caught in a hopeless situation!
Since most of the spiritual energy was supplied to the space jump system, the drill and the power rune arrays slowed down all of a sudden . Skeleton Dragon was under much less pressure and pushed Sparkle out of its body at a higher and higher speed .
At first, it was exuberant and thought that Li Yao had already given up resistance due to exhaustion .
But a moment later, it sensed that a calamitous danger was coming!
On Sparkle, the mustard-level maintainers that resembled liquid metal were crowding to the damaged places resulting from the intrusion of its arms and filled up the holes at any cost .
In the meantime, a huge amount of super sticky foam that was meant to seal cracks temporarily in emergences was sprayed out into the cabins .
As a formidable demon forty thousand years ago, Skeleton Dragon boasted amazing computational ability, too . Based on these insignificant clues, it formulated a deadly possibility instantly!
In a moment, Skeleton Dragon shrieked in bewilderment and fury . Its mental waves penetrated the shell of the warship like countless ice pitons into the deepest part of Li Yao's brain where they captured a few crazily bouncing telepathic thoughts .
A tenth of a second later, Skeleton Dragon knew Li Yao's plan as clearly as Li Yao did .
"What are you doing?!
"Your warship is already riddled with holes . There is no way that it can support a space jump . It is definitely going to be ripped apart!
"Even if you are lucky enough to make it, we both might be teleported to a barren area in the universe far away from stars, planets, and world fragments because you don't have a star map at all . We won't be able to retrieve any materials or energy and will be starved to death in the darkness!
"Stop! Stop there!"
Li Yao was dazed for a moment . Then, his face was gleaming with amusement .
"So, you are scared of death, too . "
Li Yao spat a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood . He shook his head violently to refresh his vision which had gone blurry . His hands maintained the same high speed and his fingers were almost broken off . Finally, all the parameters were set, and all the operations were completed!
"No . The teleportation array must not be activated!" Skeleton Dragon bellowed .
The red core at the center of its body shrank into an egg-shaped cluster of brightness the size of a human heart, before it suddenly bounced and released tens of thousands of red threads!
The red threads pierced forward rapidly like electric arcs . They avoided the drill of mystic rays and penetrated through the cockpit into Li Yao's brain as if the solid shell of the warship was nothing .
"Ahhhh!"
Li Yao's eyes were bulging wide . His feet had left the floor, because the red electric arcs were grabbing him by his neck . His eyes had rolled back and were filled with the whites . His limbs were all cramping crazily!
Skeleton Dragon had burnt its demonic soul madly despite the seriously wounded body and unleashed the most formidable mental attack, trying to take over the control of Li Yao's body .
