Chapter 771: New Version of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
Capital Nest was burning .
The biggest city on Spider Den had never been affected by any war since the battle to protect Spider Den five hundred years ago . But in Li Yao's five-year absence, it had become battered and buried in debris .
Li Yao walked upwards along the spiral stairs . Wherever his eyes reached, he could see that countless tunnels and caves had collapsed, and many of what used to be buildings were debris lying awry on the ground now . Traces of fire and battle could be found in a lot of places . In some places, even the mountains were half blown apart, revealing the bare, ugly rocks below .
Li Yao was planning to capture a space pirate for interrogation when hasty alarms suddenly echoed above his head . He raised his head and found dozens of white pillars of smoke left in the sky, as if several shooting stars had just flown past the broken atmosphere .
Brightness vaguely flowed out of Li Yao's eyes . He raised his hands and released Neltharion, which had been heavily modified by him . The magical equipment entered stealth mode instantly and observed the earth from the sky hundreds of meters from the ground .
The surface of Spider Den was enshrouded in smoke and dust . The ground near Capital Nest seemed to have been hit by hundreds of meteor showers . Steams and smoke were popping up nonstop from the pits . The colorful smoke did not vanish until a long time later, as if it had been frozen . On the top, the smoke dispersed into what seemed to be mushrooms, making them look like a weird forest .
When the 'shooting stars' passed the sky, hundreds of sword auras and pillars of light rose from the ground and darted toward the 'shooting stars' . A certain defense rune array seemed to be functioning .
However, the trajectories of the 'shooting stars' were extremely unsteady, and they were as unpredictable as dry leaves in a blowing wind . Besides, there were defense rune arrays outside of the 'shooting stars', too . Even when they were hit by the sword auras on the ground occasionally, they would continue smashing at the ground without being damaged after ripples of light spread out over their surface .
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Countless shooting stars hit the ground and raised a sand storm hundreds of meters high .
Soon, clattering noises echoed inside the sandstorm . A silver metal torrent flooded out of the sandstorm and blossomed like a flower into the various tunnels of Capital Nest .
Grand Illusionary Soldiers!
Li Yao pupils constricted violently . From the perspective of Neltharion, he could clearly see that the metal torrent was made of silver war puppets with limbs, a head, and everything . But they were all no higher than two meters . It was unlikely that they were crystal suits . The only possibility was that they were the Grand Illusionary Soldiers!
The Grand Illusionary Soldiers that had been dispatched for the battle were completely different from the prototypes that Li Yao had seen in the Meeting of the Next Millennium five years ago .
They were apparently better made . The rune arrays carved on their bodies were more elegant and glamourous . Illuminated by the setting sun, brilliance was flowing on them, indicating that they were made of more advance materials, too .
The Grand Illusionary Soldiers have been deployed to assault Spider Den, and the Temple of Immortals and the space pirates are actually the defenders now . It seems that the Immortal Cultivators are in a bad position .
A lot of the Cultivators' warships must have gathered near Spider Den .
The Grand Illusionary Soldiers required the Spiritual Nexus to be connected to the enormous database of the Grand Illusionary Group in order to achieve their best performance . Based on Li Yao's knowledge five years ago, there was no Spiritual Nexus in the Spider Den Space Zone .
Therefore, quite a few crystal warships of the Cultivators must have gathered in space and established a temporary network as its nodes .
The Immortal Army and the space pirates in various directions of Capital Nest, noticing that the Grand Illusionary Soldiers had invaded, lunged out and fought the intruders hard .
The Grand Illusionary Soldiers are quite strong . Li Yao observed the situation calmly .
Compared with the prototypes five years ago, the Grand Illusionary Soldiers today moved more agilely and had abundant tactical choices . Li Yao noticed that they frequently performed the classical moves of the best Exos as if actual humans were controlling the metal puppets .
Common Grand Illusionary Soldiers could resist the bombardment of crystal cannons head-on almost five times . For the Grand Illusionary Soldiers, which were more eye-catching in color and protected by multiple layers of spiritual shields, they could even be on par with the space pirates in the Building Foundation Stage during the battle .
It will indeed be terrifying if there are a million such warriors!
Li Yao continued climbing upwards, searching for a suitable target .
Very soon, he found a burning building and a few dead bodies on the ground nearby .
Li Yao opened his fingers . His spiritual energy surged out like a tide and forced the bodies to float in midair .
He moved his fingers quickly . The crystal suits on the few bodies were dissected into the most basic components after a 'huala' sound .
Tens of thousands of components formed a tornado in the air and swirled rapidly .
Li Yao curled his finger . The tornado of components moved toward him and wreathed him . After a period of clattering sounds, a brand-new crystal suit was assembled, and the redundant components darted out automatically into the rocks like bullets in earsplitting noises .
His left hand behind him casually, Li Yao extended his right index finger . A brilliant sun was soon shining on his finger .
Immense spiritual waves were spreading out of the light ball, which was soon perceived by the Grand Illusionary Soldiers .
