Chapter 1272: 1272
"Colossus!" Li Yao repeated . The word flowed through his body like electricity, and he felt that his blood was boiling .
Even Little Black inside the Cosmos Ring dangling in front of chest was seething impatiently, sending eagerness into his brain .
"The Colossi were the marvelous weapons that human beings used to dominate the sea of stars in the primeval era . They could trigger the best of a human being's potential! It was exactly with the help of the magnificent Colossi that we were able to compete with the legendary deities and devils and eventually claim the entire universe!"
Infinite excitement and hope were mixed in Kou Ruhuo's voice . "Such ultimate treasures from the primeval era were made through countless techniques that we are unaware of . Many units on them are even not duplicable with our technology!
"In the universe today, every Colossus is a unique, formidable existence . If it is damaged in a battle, we can hardly repair it and will have to replace the broken units with the same units dismantled from other Colossi!
"Therefore, even if we cannot find an intact Colossus here, as long as we can discover the debris of several Colossi that are relatively better preserved, we will still be able to dismantle the useful units and components, which are all invaluable treasures that can significantly improve your citizen level or be redeemed for several powerful Cultivation arts!"
Li Yao gulped, his eyes hidden deep inside the crystal suit glimmering . "Is there anyone still piloting a Colossus today?"
"Of course, but their number is small," Kou Ruhuo said . "On the one hand, few Colossi have been perfectly preserved to this day from the primeval era in the first place . Most of our available Colossi are actually jumbled based on the debris of different Colossi and the modern technology to build large-scale magical equipment .
"As long as they have the slightest chance of being repaired, we will try our best to recover them no matter how cr*ppy that debris looks because they are far stronger than general crystal suits any way you look at it .
"On the other hand, it is terribly difficult to manipulate the Colossus, which can prove to be a huge burden on the soul . Even the Nascent Soul Stage is only just the start line to use the Colossus!
"Today, everybody who is qualified to control a Colossus is among the most influential celebrities, if not legends who have created history . Together with their Colossi, they will live on in the history books forever!
"For example, the Supreme Emperor of the Star Ocean Imperium and his Colossus 'Gold Sun', the 'Blood God' and his Colossus 'Calamitous Doom' and Blackstar the Great with his Colossus 'Blackhole's Heart' . These are the most famous Colossi! "Gold Sun, Calamitous Doom, Blackhole's Heart…"
Li Yao's lips were trembling .
The names alone and the debris of the Colossi on the surface that he had seen were enough for him to imagine how terrifying such marvelous weapons must have been when they exerted their maximum strength!
I am going to control a Colossus one day . I will! Li Yao secretly swore to himself .
Fearing that his overexcitement might be noticed, he asked intentionally, "Right, what about the Book of Revelation? If we can find one volume, it will certainly be more valuable than a Colossus, right?"
All three Immortal Cultivators chuckled at his greed and childishness .
"How can it be so easy to find the Book of Revelation?" Su Changfa smiled . "You must've seen the debris of hundreds of Colossi both on the surface and on the primeval battlefield here, right? Although most of the debris has been completely shattered, it is not entirely impossible to retrieve one or two usable units from them .
"On this primeval battlefield alone, there may already be more than a thousand broken Colossi .
"The Book of Revelation, on the other hand, has only eight volumes, less than four of which have yet to be discovered . The universe is too large a place . How can we discover it so easily?
"Besides, the Colossi are enormous in size, and you can notice them at first glance . However, the Book of Revelation can come in various forms . Nobody knows exactly what specific form it has been preserved in . Chances are that we won't notice it even if it is right in front of us!
"Therefore, you might as well not hold too much hope . Our key targets are the relatively intact bodies of the Pangu Clan, the usable units of the Colossi, and the core facilities inside the planetary warship!"
Very soon, Kou Ruhuo finished scanning the details of the battlefield .
The Immortal Cultivators had a profound understanding about the habits of the Blood Tide . They were aware that the residue on the ground, after being sucked and swallowed by the Blood Tide for hundreds of thousands of years, was no longer worth exploring .
However, they still went through the trouble of clearing an area of the Blood Tide because they meant to get a closer look at the fierce battle down there so that they could infer the direction of attack and defense!
"It's here!"
After studying the result of scanning for a long time, Kou Ruhuo pointed in one direction in the darkness and said, "Most of the soldiers of human beings were attacking toward this direction, while the Pangu Clan was defending with the place behind them . Therefore, what the invaders tried to take and the defenders tried to protect must be in that direction!"
Tang Qianhe launched a localizing and probing soundwave in the direction that Kou Ruhuo had pointed out .
The feedback of the soundwave suggested that there was a giant hole leaning downward around forty kilometers away from them .
The hole was highly irregular . There was a circle of rising metal residue around it, indicating that the hole had either been blown out or drilled through .
"Where exactly were the troops of human beings marching to in the primeval war?"
Carefully avoiding the Blood Tide on the ground and the Hellish Light Butterflies on the dome, the four of them located the hole soon . They also discovered dead bodies around the hole that were as high as a hill .
