Chapter 250: Dark Star's Ambush!

His speed was very fast. In less than six hours, he had pretty much scoped out the rest of the places.

"Every place has it..." Li Yu stroked his chin. The specific situation was similar to his hypothesis; every place had large patches of bronze-colored metal plates.

No matter what method was used, they couldn't be activated or made to reveal any anomaly. They were just like extremely ordinary metal plates placed by the roadside.

"I'm afraid that until they are activated using a special method, they will all remain in this state." Li Yu understood why the group of explorers hadn't left a single person behind.

This was definitely not the first time the Star Glory Empire had encountered such metal plates. There must be a solution, so there was no need to specifically leave people behind to monitor them.

Glancing at Laser Man's coordinates, it would still take some time for him to get here. The other party's Identity was special. During the rush over, they also had to avoid Return Star's pursuit, which would inevitably waste a lot of time.

Meanwhile, Return Star's fleet had already arrived near the Ordos System and was on standby. Among them, someone was specifically keeping in contact with Li Yu to avoid any unexpected situations.

Li Yu pondered over what exactly was hidden in this Titan Ruins.

Mountains sped by rapidly beneath him. The environment of the Ordos planet was fairly decent. The population wasn't too large, and vast areas retained their green vegetation.

The [Titan Colonization Armor] suddenly covered his entire body on its own.

The nearby Void twisted, and dozens of magnetic energy Chains surged out from somewhere, firmly locking onto the [Titan Colonization Armor].

Electric Arcs surged. Li Yu frowned deeply.Who is ambushing me? Members of the Star Glory Empire's Exploration Team?

That doesn't make sense. There is no evidence proving they have been exposed, so why would they take the initiative to surface?

"Master, guidance signal detected, suspected lock-on, overloading activation, prism Shield generating..."

Without needing Claptrap's reminder, Li Yu's heart suddenly tightened, as if gripped by a large hand. A mysterious sense of crisis descended, and he abruptly looked up at the sky.

He saw mysterious purple Starlight seeming to pierce through the clouds, burning above the firmament, causing Li Yu's pupils to dilate.

"That's..."

In the blink of an eye, streaks of deep Violet Energy Columns suddenly descended from the sky, and world-destroying fluctuations crashed down!

Rumble!!

The Earth cracked, extending in all directions. An area of tens of meters was entirely encompassed within the strike zone. Aside from the blinding Purple Light, no other colors could be seen.

A small half of the mountain range was instantly leveled, and a terrifying crater appeared on the Surface, like a meteorite crashing into the planet!

At the edge of the bombarded area, Li Yu struggled to support himself flying in mid-air. His appearance looked very miserable. The Armor on his body had disappeared, he was covered in burns, and he wore a look of absolute horror.

"Cough-bleugh!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood. While retreating rapidly, he seemingly anxiously looked around, as if trying to find traces of the enemy.

"Who is it, come out!"

He shouted sternly. His body staggered, looking unsteady and about to fall at any moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, a purple meteor flew in at high speed from the horizon, trailing a long trajectory, breaking the sound barrier and tearing through the clouds, braking sharply not far away.

It was a specially modified Spaceship, equipped with a massive Energy Cannon Port that seemed completely out of place with the ship's overall style. That shot just now was fired from here.

"Li Yu!"

A bone-chillingly cold voice came from the Spaceship, faintly carrying a sense of gratification and relief.

Hearing this voice, Li Yu was truly shocked.

"Dark Star!?"

He couldn't be more familiar with this voice. It was his old bro—Dark Star.

He really hadn't expected to actually encounter Dark Star here.Why is this old bro Dogging My Steps?

"Very surprised?" The purple Spaceship opened, and Dark Star's figure floated out. He stared at Li Yu, looking at the other party's sorry state, and felt an unspeakable sense of gratification in his heart.

Even though he kept warning himself that the other party was only a B-Tier Lifeform and not worth having his emotions fluctuate so wildly.

But when the moment came, how could he not be happy? Suffering setbacks repeatedly, being framed, and even being beaten to pieces... he Vividly Remembered every single instance; they were carved into his heart.

"Aren't you Dead!?" Li Yu pretended to be exceptionally surprised; acting required a full set.

"...You can't kill me..." Even though he was extremely excited, Dark Star didn't reveal the secret of his Gene Chain.

Unfortunately, Li Yu had long known through Peyton that the other party wasn't dead at all.

"Do you know how excited I was when I discovered you had also come to this planet!" Dark Star revealed a twisted smile: "This moment right now is worth remembering. I will properly savor your fear."

This bro seems like a pervert, but I'm not too sure, need to observe a bit more...

"Oh?" Li Yu pondered in his heart, while seemingly asking with confusion on the surface: "So, you didn't come for me?"

"For you!?" Dark Star sneered: "You're not worthy!"

"You're just an unexpected harvest, a surprise while hunting. You overestimate yourself too much."

Not worthy?Li Yu curled his lips secretly.You think I'm not worthy, yet you're still smiling, your mouth stretched all the way to the roots of your ears.

Since he didn't specifically come to hunt him down, Li Yu understood in his heart. Dark Star also came for the Titan Ruins.

This is getting interesting... Dark Star doesn't seem to be in the same group as the Star Glory Empire's Exploration Team. Since they both come from the Star Glory Empire but aren't in the same group, tsk tsk...

"That special method of yours is still effective on me. What a pity... you can rely on external objects, and so can I."

Dark Star looked down at Li Yu. He found that he still couldn't attack Li Yu himself, otherwise his power would still be weakened.

"Oh, then you're so amazing." Li Yu restrained his exaggerated expression. The injuries on his body gradually recovered, and the [Titan Colonization Armor] covered his body again, seemingly as if he hadn't been injured at all.

In reality, the upgraded [Space Gem Power] completely surpassed the [Cube Power].

When he was hit, a large number of prism Shield generators spawned, forming a thick Energy Barrier that forcefully blocked the strike.

He deliberately acted severely injured just to draw out the attacker behind the scenes, so as not to appear too strong and make the other party afraid to show themselves.

"You!?" Dark Star suddenly felt something was amiss. The Energy Cannon modified onto this Spaceship was Main Cannon level, its destructive power reaching the A-rank Standard.

How could he look like he was fine? Was that just acting just now? Acting for him to see?

The [Void Magnetic Energy Chains] was also a high-level lockdown Trap, planted in advance after he predicted Li Yu's movement trajectory.

Paired with this Main Cannon, Dark Star originally thought he could directly blast Li Yu to death. The fact that the other party didn't die had already surprised him quite a bit; he didn't expect even the previous severe injuries to be fake.

"That special method again." Dark Star attributed this scene to Li Yu's special method. His face turned gloomy, but without any hesitation, he turned and boarded the Spaceship.

Staying here, he was simply no match for Li Yu. The Spaceship started up, spewing out blazing flames.

"Bro, don't be in a hurry to leave." On Li Yu's back, reverse-flash Thrusters extended, a full twenty of them. His speed was even faster, directly tearing through the sound barrier cloud and letting out a sonic boom.

"What kind of speed is this!?" Dark Star was already dumbfounded, looking at Li Yu gradually catching up. This kind of speed was already comparable to a normal A-Tier Lifeform.

The Spaceship needed time to accelerate, and in that short acceleration time, Li Yu had already caught up.

Boom!

Li Yu didn't slow down, crashing directly into the rear of the Spaceship. Sparks flew everywhere, the rear half of the Spaceship exploded directly, and Dark Star was also blown out.

The pink substance wrapped around Dark Star, shooting towards the distant sky. He had no desire to fight at all; the scene of being beaten to a pulp last time was still Vividly Remembered.

Li Yu casually supported the remaining half of the Spaceship, placed it on the ground, and then continued the pursuit. The pink substance blocking in front of him Melted Like Ice in the Scorching Sun, continuously melting.

Ten more reverse-flash Thrusters spawned on his back, increasing his speed again, making it even somewhat difficult to control his direction.

Bang!

A heavy punch sent Dark Star from the sky directly into the Earth, plowing a very long trail on the ground. Thick trees along the way collapsed one after another, and dust flew everywhere.

"Bro, here I come!" Li Yu beamed with a smile. The reverse-flash Thrusters on his back surged again, and he crashed into Dark Star's location like a meteor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The soil layer exploded. Dark Star felt his internal organs wailing, his throat tasting sweet and bloody. His eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his teeth tightly. The pink substance wrapped around his back, gradually covering his entire body.

Bang!

The pink substance abruptly exploded like a balloon, and the terrifying force instantly knocked Li Yu away.

"Hmm?" Dark Star's eyes flickered slightly.Why does it feel like my Strength this time is slightly stronger than the last time I faced Li Yu?

Could it be that my Strength grows along with his Strength growth?This guess flashed through Dark Star's mind, and at the same time, an unbelievable thought arose...

If one day, Li Yu's Strength surpasses mine, could my Strength actually increase in reverse?

Li Yu stood firmly in mid-air. Five Electromagnetic Cannon Turrets spawned on his back. Dark Star's pupils contracted; he remembered this move. Last time, he was wiped out by this very move.

However, his Strength had increased quite a bit since last time. Coupled with his familiar usage of his Gene Chain, he had quite a bit of leeway.

Yet in the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

Those five Electromagnetic Cannon Turrets were just the beginning. A large number of Electromagnetic Cannon Turrets continuously formed, appearing like wings made of Electromagnetic Cannon Turrets on Li Yu's back.

The launch button was delivered to Li Yu's hand. He smiled slightly and pressed it down without the slightest hesitation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Blazing electromagnetic Light Beams blotted out the sky and covered the earth. The terrifying Light Beams covered an area of several hundred meters in radius.

For a moment, heaven and earth lost their color, the earth trembled, and secondary shockwaves exploded. The Surface was lifted off, and azure blue Energy Ripples dissipated, flattening the nearby Earth.

"Refreshing!"

This was the first time Li Yu had completely unleashed the mutated [Titan Colonization Armor]. Previously on Return Star, there was no way to test it.

"Ah——"

A furious roar came from underground. The massive pink substance turned into a giant spiral drill, carrying Dark Star as it charged upwards.

"Oh, actually didn't die?" Li Yu was somewhat surprised. If he was facing the A-rank Dark Star, that strike probably wouldn't have had much effect, but he wasn't just now.

The Energy Barrier around Dark Star's body flickered continuously until it dimmed. It seemed to be some kind of protective measure that had already been used up.

As an A-Tier Lifeform, he was wealthy. Even though he bought that retarded Helmet last time, he had accumulated quite a bit during this period.

This was the single-target high-energy Shield he bought; it was single-use and could block an A-rank Attack.

Dark Star was already a Spent Force; this strike condensed his full power.

And right at this moment, a large number of prism Shield generators spawned, blocking in front of Li Yu, while simultaneously releasing Shields that condensed together.

The pink drill bit fiercely collided with the thick Energy Barrier!

Screech——

Countless specks of energy light erupted at the point of Impact, like sparks shooting out when cutting metal.

The drill's Impact lasted for quite a while before rapidly weakening. Dark Star unwillingly widened his eyes; he couldn't break through this barrier.

Li Yu held an Energy Firearm in his hand.

Bang bang bang bang——

Blue explosive light clusters appeared one after another!

Flesh and blood flew, incinerated into ash the moment they detached from the body.

His other hand dragged the Ship-breaking Blade, continuously slashing at Dark Star's body, chopping him so he flew back and forth in mid-air.

Crack!

An arm flew into the air, sliced off.

Crack!

This time it was a lower leg!

Bang!

The next second, with a full-force strike, Dark Star was instantly chopped into a mass of minced meat. Limbs and internal organs exploded, like a firework of flesh and blood. Blood fell like rain, leaving only his head glaring furiously.

With another strike, Li Yu's Ship-breaking Blade stopped right above Dark Star's head, hesitating to fall.

He suddenly remembered that this old bro seemed to have the ability to rebirth. Chopping him to pieces was equivalent to letting him go.

Thinking of this, Li Yu put away the Ship-breaking Blade and picked up Boss Dark Star's head. Due to the special Gene Chain, Dark Star hadn't Died; he was still conscious.

A special pink substance spawned at the neck, wrapping around the wound, and was even slowly repairing itself.

Giving up the desire to attack Li Yu, this self-repair speed suddenly became more than a bit faster.

Bang!

Casually chopping off the repaired part, the severe pain made Dark Star glare furiously and shout angrily: "What do you want to do? If you want to kill me, then kill me!"

He was an A-Tier Lifeform after all. Letting him fully repair, who knew what Unexpected Trouble might occur.

Li Yu casually tossed Dark Star up: "If I kill you just because you tell me to, wouldn't I lose face? Now I've changed my mind, I won't kill you."

Dark Star was shocked in his heart. Naturally, he didn't believe Li Yu spared him for this reason.

Did he guess the reason why I can be reborn?

Dark Star's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Falling into Li Yu's hands in this manner, wouldn't he suffer endless torture?

The [Titan Colonization Armor]'s Splinter Deployment Armor descended, enveloping Dark Star's head, preventing more parts from self-repairing. At the same time, it hovered behind Li Yu, spawning a Metal Sealing Device so he couldn't say a single word.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yu returned to the place where he left the half Spaceship and carefully dismantled the massive Energy Cannon mounted on it.

The size of this thing was seriously mismatched with the Spaceship, like it was dismantled from some warship. The energy compression core inside was made of [Sathir Crystal Iron], allowing it to convert ultra-high-intensity energy.

"Thank you, bro, for the delivered Energy Cannon." Li Yu hoisted the Energy Cannon onto his shoulder and smiled at Dark Star.
