Chapter 334: Meditation's Tentacle

There was no camaraderie to speak of in the Ancient Starpath. The moment Elise discovered the Starry Sky Whale was going to attack Carol, without any hesitation, she immediately wanted to leave.

The spaceship Thrusters roared. Within this mist, electronic equipment basically lost its function. They could only choose a direction and then gamble on their luck.

Stanley and the others were bounced all over inside the shattered Scavenger Ship. However, a layer of transparent Protective Shield seemed to be attached to the surface of their bodies, so they didn't suffer any injuries.

Li Yu stood amidst the ruins of the Scavenger Ship. The massive Starry Sky Whale swam around them.

Li Yu felt an invisible force trying to pull him in front of the Starry Sky Whale, and his body uncontrollably floated into the air.

The 【Titan Colonization Armor】 instantly covered his body, forcefully blocking this invisible force.

This whale's attack method should be similar to Telekinesis combined with a massive physique, Li Yu pondered secretly.

"Hah!"

Olena was the first to stabilize her body in the Starry Sky. Stepping on a piece of metal debris, the Nano-Armor covered her, and she immediately prepared to attack.

"An Interstellar biological entity capable of traversing the Universe with its physical body. Don't expect to injure it easily."

Stanley's voice rang out in the channel. He charged forward from Olena's side, the Nano-Shipbreaker Blade in his hand incomparably sharp.

Anthony barely managed to stabilize his body in the Starry Sky, also stepping on a piece of metal hull. He looked at Stanley, who charged towards the Starry Sky Whale without any hesitation, with extreme astonishment.

This group of people was truly fierce, not afraid in the slightest. Is it because of that A-Tier Lifeform? He looked at the Masked Man, unable to help but mutter in his heart.

A Starry Sky Whale was also a genuine A-Tier Lifeform, even stronger than ordinary A-Tier Lifeforms.

But in the current situation, he could only hope that Li Yu was strong enough.

The weak point of a Starry Sky Whale was its tentacles, which were the organs they used to perceive the outside world and send out electromagnetic waves.

This wasn't a secret; both Carol and Anthony knew this.

Its massive body blocked all vision. Compared to it, the sizes of the crowd seemed extremely miniscule.

The attacks from Stanley and the others didn't pose a high threat to it, but it was enough to provoke its anger.

The Starry Sky Whale opened its bloody maw, as if letting out a howl, but without any sound. Accompanying it was an invisible fluctuation, and the Iron Fist Squad, which was merely scraping it, was instantly knocked back.

The massive Starry Sky Whale adjusted its posture and then crashed towards the crowd again. Last time, there was still the Scavenger Ship as a buffer.

But this time, they had to face the Starry Sky Whale directly. Carol and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes, their heartbeats abruptly accelerating. The oppressive feeling given by this behemoth was unparalleled.

Just at this moment, an Electric Arc flew over rapidly from a distance. In front of the Starry Sky Whale, this Electric Arc wasn't eye-catching; it could even be ignored.

However, when such a small Electric Arc hit the Starry Sky Whale from the side, it was like a comet impact. A massive amount of Thunder spread out like a tidal wave.

The Starry Sky Whale's massive body veered off its trajectory and crashed in another direction. The surging purple-black mist made Carol and the others unable to open their eyes, but it couldn't conceal the shock in their hearts.

Two rows of propulsion nozzles appeared on the back of Li Yu's mecha. Raging flames spewed out, and the accelerating force made him vanish into the mist.

Spreading his palm, Thor's Hammer flew back into his hand, and he swung it again, smashing towards the Starry Sky Whale!

The silver hammerhead struck the crystal-clear tentacle, exploding with dazzling electric sparks. The Starry Sky Whale's tentacle abruptly shrank, its body wrinkling up. Having its vital spot hit, even its posture became twisted.

Compared to its tough body, its tentacles had almost no ability to resist.

Suddenly, the light from the Starry Sky Whale's tentacles increased dozens of times, extremely piercing to the eyes, as if a flashbang had exploded out of thin air.

The vision of Li Yu's mecha presented a vast expanse of white, but the next moment it adjusted itself. What appeared before his eyes was a giant tail akin to a mountain range.

A colossal force suddenly struck. Li Yu was swatted flying far away before barely managing to arrest his decline in mid-air.

"You're angry?" Li Yu twisted his neck and chuckled twice.

The back armor split open, and the Splinter Deployment Armor surged out. A massive amount of technological Weapons rapidly extended and transformed into Turrets, revealing pipes flickering with blue light.

Bang bang bang.

In an instant, a manic and violent Energy Storm erupted!

Countless Energy Cannons hit the Starry Sky Whale's body, echoing with clanging sounds. The tentacles emitted an invisible force, forming a Shield that continuously deflected the bullets.

Just at this moment, Soul-Shaking Heaven's body appeared. His Mechanical Body wasn't enough to support him in combat, so his Soul Body darted into Stanley's body.

"Relax..." A hoarse and eerie voice rang in his ears. Stanley shuddered all over, forcing himself to relax, as if icy water poured into his body.

Subsequently, a powerful force rose from within his body, and the remaining Nano-Armor also gathered over.

He sprang up and jumped onto the Starry Sky Whale. The Nano-Shipbreaker Blade rotated like the wind. The destructive power caused this time was completely different.

Cleaving all the way along the Starry Sky Whale's spine, the thick skin was lifted open, and bright purple blood spurted out. His path headed straight for the tentacles on its head.

Although the Starry Sky Whale was massive, its movements were extremely nimble. It flipped and rotated in mid-air, attempting to throw Stanley off, but it was completely useless.

With Soul-Shaking Heaven's buff, Stanley easily flew to the top of the Starry Sky Whale's head. Holding the Nano-Shipbreaker Blade formed by silver Nano-Stream, he chopped straight down at that transparent tentacle!

Although his Nano-Armor had undergone multiple layers of folding, restricted by its own material, the formed Nano-Shipbreaker Blade awkwardly got stuck halfway.

But this kind of pain was even more intense. The massive Starry Sky Whale kept twitching all over, almost rolling its eyes back.

The siege on the Starry Sky Whale was fought with passion. Energy impacts chased the massive cosmic creature, exploding into clusters of brilliance.

Anthony, Carol, and the few others nervously looked up at the battlefield. They couldn't intervene in a battle between A-Tier Lifeforms, and were even afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

The fierce battle grew even more intense!

On the other side, Elise piloted the spaceship out of the coverage area of the purple-black mist. When she saw the secluded Starry Sky around her again, a feeling of surviving a catastrophe arose in her heart.

"Quick... Hurry up and leave this place!" she urged her subordinates, simultaneously looking towards the direction of the purple-black mist.

Carol, Anthony... you are truly good people... Haha... Haha...

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and finally, she even let out a hearty laugh.

For now, no one knew the news of those two people dying here. She could completely rush back to Lant Hub, leisurely take over their legacies, and eat the biggest piece of the cake.

Suddenly, a section in the purple-black mist churned rapidly, as if something was about to burst out.

The next moment, the massive Starry Sky Whale flew out, shattering a large number of meteorites, and its momentum remained unabated.

Elise's laughter was instantly stuck in her throat. She couldn't help but retreat a few steps, unable to conceal the horror in her heart.

Didn't they say Starry Sky Whales would always hide in the mist of the Starry Sky and basically wouldn't come out?

Is this to chase after me? A sense of absurdity arose in Elise's heart.

"Boss, you... you... quickly look!" A subordinate suddenly pointed at the Holographic Screen, his face full of horror.

Elise looked in the direction he pointed, instantly sucking in a breath of cold air. It turned out that when the Starry Sky Whale crashed out just now, her spaceship captured an astonishing scene.

On the Starry Sky Whale's head, there was actually faintly a person wearing Armor!?

Because the other party's speed was too fast, their outdated Scanners couldn't lock onto him, only able to see a massive amount of Electric Arcs.

Because they had locked all Scanners onto the Starry Sky Whale, they didn't notice another armored figure closely following out from the mist of the Starry Sky.

The silver Armor abruptly stopped in mid-air. Stanley still retained his own consciousness. Without Li Yu's order, Soul-Shaking Heaven naturally didn't dare to Devour Stanley.

"What are you waiting for? Why aren't you going up to help the Lord?" Stanley urged.

"What's the panic! How could this whale be a match for the Chief God? It's just thick-skinned and a bit hard to kill." Soul-Shaking Heaven berated, then cast his gaze towards that spaceship in the distance.

"Them? They escaped?" Stanley was confused for a moment, then came to a realization and angrily said: "They actually dared to treat the Lord as a springboard for their escape!"

"Something interesting is about to happen." Soul-Shaking Heaven let out an insidious laugh. Stanley felt that icy water being extracted from his body again, heading to some unknown place.

"What the f*ck is going on here!?" Elise muttered to herself.

Where did this fierce person jump out from, actually able to chase the Starry Sky Whale and beat it up? Could it be from Carol's spaceship?

Moreover, that guy Anthony was also on his spaceship. Elise seemed to have guessed something and shuddered all over uncontrollably.

Golden Electric Arcs surged, flowing on the silver short-handled hammer. Li Yu raised it high, and a massive amount of Thunder gathered into a giant lightning hammer towering a thousand meters high.

He heavily smashed down the final strike towards the Starry Sky Whale's head!

Boom! Stanley couldn't help but Overthink the sound in his mind.

The giant golden lightning hammer fell. The Starry Sky Whale's body abruptly curled up. Its giant purple pupils shrank, and then rapidly began to dilate.

Its massive body was torn open, leaking blue-purple slime. The light of the tentacle Crystals dimmed, covered in cracks, and nearly broke.

The Starry Sky Whale squirmed on its last breath. After confirming this thing didn't have the strength to continue fighting, Li Yu finally exhaled and shook his arm to relieve the muscle soreness.

This guy's combat power wasn't strong. The main issue was its thick skin and flesh, making it too exhausting to kill.

"Dead... Dead!?"

Elise didn't react immediately. Looking at that unmoving Starry Sky Whale, it wasn't until a long time passed that she returned to her senses.

Just as she returned to her senses, her expression changed. It's over... Would her actions of turning around and leaving without showing any mercy just now enrage this powerhouse?

Her expression was Moody, knowing she couldn't gamble on the other party's generosity. She immediately gritted her teeth and said: "Hurry up and f*cking get out of here!"

However, the lights inside the spaceship flickered, and the Energy was unstable. The subordinates performed various operations, but the spaceship didn't respond at all.

"Where... do you... want to go?"

An icy and secluded voice echoed from an unknown corner, startling everyone on the entire spaceship.

The dim lights flickered. A transparent Soul Body had suddenly appeared in the spaceship's Cockpit at an unknown time.

"Demon Soul!" Elise frantically retreated, a look of horror uncontrollably appearing on her face. Encountering two Cosmic Calamities within a day, her luck was simply too good.

"Wrong..." Soul-Shaking Heaven shook his head and introduced himself: "I am the First Subordinate Deity under the seat of the Primordial Celestial Sovereign—Soul-Shaking Heaven!"

Elise's first reaction was confusion. What was this string of titles? You are clearly a Demon Soul!

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. How to deal with you will still depend on the Chief God's orders." A teasing smile appeared on the Demon Soul's face, making the crowd shudder in fear.

Taking out a mechanical battle axe, he followed the location recorded in the data to cut open the Starry Sky Whale's belly, and found the so-called whale core in the center of the heart area.

Although the entire Starry Sky Whale was massive beyond compare, the whale core was only the size of a fist, containing scattered Misty Substance inside.

This thing had many uses. Not only could it develop Gene Chains, but it could even enhance one's physique to prolong lifespan.

If special formulas were used, the effect could be magnified countless times. But still the same words, it was too troublesome.

Li Yu had no time to look for formulas. Crude usage aligned best with his current interests.

There were a few other places in the Starry Sky Whale that were quite valuable and could be used to modulate Gene Chains. Li Yu didn't let them go either, almost filling his Compressed Space, yet a large portion still remained.

He didn't use it himself; he could save it for his subordinates to use in the future.

Looking up not far away, that entirely crimson spaceship was slowly sailing over. The entire spaceship was controlled by Soul-Shaking Heaven.

"You are Elise?" Li Yu looked at this slender woman in front of him inside the spaceship. She had a delicate appearance and dressed even more provocatively.

"That's right, esteemed powerhouse, I am Elise..." Elise was extremely respectful. In her words and actions, she even faintly exposed her Ample Assets.

It seemed she wanted to try her best to preserve her life through these little actions.

Li Yu turned a blind eye and had Claptrap take over this spaceship. Then he harvested some more of the Starry Sky Whale's flesh and blood, and subsequently directed the spaceship towards the mist of the Starry Sky to pick up the Iron Fist Squad.

In the spaceship, Anthony was on tenterhooks, looking around. Carol sat on a piece of metal debris, forcefully enduring his heartache as he said to his companions: "His Subordinates are still here. That Masked Man A-Tier Lifeform will definitely return."

"Idiot!" Anthony retorted: "Now the issue isn't whether he will return or not. The spaceship is gone; how do we leave the Ancient Starpath?"

The most important things in the Ancient Starpath were the spaceship and the "compass." Neither could be lacking.

But now they had neither of these two things. How could this not make Anthony despair?

So when that crimson spaceship gradually appeared in front of them, even as a cold-blooded animal, Anthony couldn't help but feel a sense of tears welling up in his eyes.

On the spaceship, while scanning, Claptrap unexpectedly discovered some things.

"Master, there is a backdoor left by another intelligent program in this spaceship, continuously transmitting information outward."

"Oh?" Li Yu's eyes flickered slightly.

Claptrap continued: "Moreover, I breached this subprogram and reverse-engineered the underlying code, discovering that they originate from the Meditation Research Institute."

Them again... Li Yu couldn't help but look at Elise, who had her head lowered. She looked like she wanted to bury her head into the cleavage on her chest.
