Forty Millenniums of Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 2787: Yaksha Squad

Li Yao held back the urge to smash everything immediately and continued watching calmly.

“What is a yaksha squad?”

He extended a tentacle from his soul and tied up all the information about the ‘Yaksha Squad’.

A thousand years after the establishment of the Sanctuary, with the expansion of the organization and the invasion of the extraterrestrial devils, the criminal activities of the heretics had become more and more complicated and rampant. All kinds of small-scale heretical associations had emerged.

In order to deal with the internal damage of the heretics, a ‘cleaning organization’ affiliated with the Inquisition was established.

The eight regular investigation teams of the Cleaners had been selected by the elites of the God Bless Army, the tribes, and the temple. They were all one-in-ten-thousand super experts who had all awakened unbelievable primeval genes and grasped special abilities that were unimaginable for ordinary Cultivators.

However, they were all the most devoted lambs of the gods. Their thinking was still limited to the brilliance of the gods. It was impossible for them to imagine how insane and unscrupulous the most evil and insane heretics were.

They could hunt down and extinguish ordinary small-scale heretical organizations, but when they were faced with the God’s Heart Association, which was led by the puppet king, the most secretive and evil heretic organization seemed powerless.

“If the reactions of every part of the system are the same, it will become the system’s fatal flaw. When everyone thinks in the same normal mode, it is impossible to grasp the thoughts of a lunatic and find the loopholes.

“Only a lunatic can understand a lunatic. Only a heretic can capture a heretic. Only an evil ghost whose seven emotions and six desires have expanded to the limit and broke the limits of all laws can smell the scent of danger and capture someone as evil as them.

With such thoughts in mind, the Cleaners, no, the most notorious ‘Ninth Special Investigative Team’, or ‘Yaksha Squad’, was established.

‘Yaksha’ meant ‘ghost eaters’.

The yaksha squad was the same. They were enveloped in darkness and emitting an evil aura. The other eight regular investigation teams were wary of them and avoided them.

The main members of the team were all ‘experimental subjects’ of the most dangerous projects in the Star Glory Federation. Although they had gained unparalleled capability through the brutal strengthening experiments and the high-intensity battlefield screening, their mental state was extremely unstable, too. In order to grasp the behavior patterns of the heretics and understand the criminal motives of the heretics, they had been injected with a lot of stimulant drugs that could awaken the seven emotions and six desires in their brain, which often led them to the forbidden areas that ordinary people of the Star Glory Federation had never heard of.

Maybe, the birth of the yaksha squad, the confrontation between them and the God’s Heart Association and the puppet king, was a large-scale experiment to test whether or not dangerous experiment subjects such as ‘Major’ Chu Zhixiao would sink deeper and deeper in the process of capturing the puppet king and completely lose control.

Since most of the members were dangerous test subjects who were on the verge of losing control, the casualty rate of the yaksha squad was extremely high. Often, a ‘dangerous test subject’ would be sent from the research centers of various projects to the yaksha squad less than three months ago. They would either be killed in the pursuit of the heretics, or they would lose control due to the overwhelming emotions and strength and had to be ‘recovered’ or even ‘cleaned’ by their companions.

In short, very few ‘dangerous experimental subjects’ could stay in the yaksha squad for more than a year.

Except for the four core members.

They had been staying in this place since the yaksha squad was just established. After so many years, they had luckily survived and become part of the iron camp.

Chu Zhixiao, captain of the yaksha squad, code name ‘Major’. Li Yao had browsed through the files just now. He was the only survivor of the ‘Goddess Slaying Project’, a combination of the genes of Chu Zhiling, the founder of the Heart of God and the most dangerous heretic in the past.

The people of the Sanctuary Alliance boasted marvelous primeval technology and marvelous skills. Their combat ability could not be measured by the level of the federation or the imperium alone. In the counterattack of the imperium, Chu Zhixiao had slain dozens of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of the imperium easily. In one of the battles, she had slain six battle-type Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators within twenty-four hours. According to the files, she had barely met any effective resistance, and the files were still lamenting the lack of Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators from the imperium. Otherwise, they could have tested Chu Zhixiao’s combat ability in real combat.

In other words, the Holy Alliance believed that Chu Zhixiao’s maximum combat ability was enough to slay a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator of the Star Ocean Imperium.

It meant that the ‘Slaughter Goddess’ was at least in the Divinity Transformation Stage, too.

No wonder he was the captain of the yaksha squad.

Li Yao recalled that, when he was still in the imperium, he had studied the experts of the Sanctuary Alliance in the counterattack.

Although the counterattack of the Star Ocean Imperium ended with the failure of the Star Glory Federation, it did not mean that the people of the Star Glory Federation had never fought a beautiful counterattack on certain battlefields.

In several of the counterattacks, many Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of the Star Ocean Imperium had indeed been killed mysteriously. There was even panic on the battlefield.

In one of the battles, the imperial army seemed to have captured the fortress of the Star Glory Federation, but an expert of the Star Glory Federation suddenly showed up and killed an entire troop of the Star Glory Federation, including three Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

At that time, nobody in the imperium knew who the brutal expert of the Sanctuary Alliance was. The people of the Sanctuary Alliance were not as fond of showing off as the Immortal Cultivators of the imperium. Therefore, they had to give her the code name ‘Bloody Asura’ according to the features of the battlefield.

Li Yao browsed through the videos of the slaughter left by the ‘Bloody Asura’. At that time, she was not in the Giant God Soldier but in a thin crystal suit, which was very similar to Chu Zhixiao’s body shape and fighting style.

Could it be her?

No wonder!

The second member was Yuan Kou, deputy captain and code name ‘Titan’.

Hundreds of experiment files appeared in Li Yao’s vision.

A giant covered in wounds was lying on the metal operating table that had been locked up by various chains and seals.

He was at least four to five meters tall, and his shoulders were almost the same width as his height. His muscles that looked like explosives seemed to be alive and devouring his bones and internal organs, turning him into a monster made of pure muscles.

With the injection of all kinds of suspicious drugs, his enormous body was still expanding, tearing, healing, and mutating. Dense hair, glittering silver scales, and hedgehog-like thorns gradually appeared on his body, which soon peeled off and revealed ugly lumps.

He was biting a thick metal stick hard, but even the super alloys that were used to refine crystal suits could not resist the pressure of his teeth. They were chewed into pieces within half a minute and had to be replaced by a new one.

The researchers had conducted countless experiments on the muscular man. In order to suppress the overly violent strength inside his body, they had to implant all kinds of sealed metal plates on his wounds, turning him into a giant who would carry half an iron coffin forever.

The Titan Project tried to inject ‘strong triggering drugs’ into the human body, which would trigger the primeval genes inside the body and expose the most intense activity, so that the human beings would return to the primitive form that the Pangu Clan had created in the beginning, or even the form of the ‘Ni’ people.

Li Yao had come into contact with similar drugs in the Pangu Underground Palace of the Ancient Saint World. The gene-activated drugs could turn a human being into a devil more than ten meters tall after they were injected into the body of a certain giant crab, but the victim would lose their sanity.

Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun, the two Divinity Transformation Stage experts of the Ancient Saint World, had been corrupted by the drug and had to destroy each other’s bodies, turning them into spectral Cultivators who only had souls.

The ‘Titan Project’ of the Sanctuary Alliance was quite similar to what had happened in the Pangu Underground Palace.

However, the gene-activated drugs that the people of the Star Glory Federation used were extremely unstable. Almost all the experimental subjects in the Titan Project could not withstand the overwhelming primeval force and either exploded or turned into idiots. Yuan Ke was the only survivor who joined the yaksha squad under the code name ‘Titan’ and participated in the endless field tests.

Yuan Kou’s capability could be explained in two sentences.

He could carry a super-large crystal cannon modified from a cannon and bombard the enemy with a rate of fifty rounds per second without wearing a crystal suit or riding a Giant God Soldier.

He could also tear apart the composite plate of the starship with his bare hands!

“How is that possible?”

Li Yao was about to be dumbfounded for a moment to show his respect for Yuankou the Titan. “The monster is even stronger than my wife!”

It was only reasonable that he became the vice-captain and the heavy firepower user of the yaksha squad.

The third core member was an expert in tracing, stealth, crystal processors, and the Spiritual Nexus. His code name was ‘Seven Stars’, and his name was ‘Guan Qixing’. historical

At first glance, it was an ordinary spectral Cultivator whose soul was stored in a dumb artificial body.

At least, that was what Li Yao read from the files.

But after studying the guy’s background, Li Yao couldn’t help but exclaim.

“He—he is not one person, but seven?”

“Combine the remaining souls of the seven crystal processors, the Spiritual Nexus, the tracing and the detective experts, and create new ‘souls’ and implant them into a prosthetic body?

“Then, what is he exactly? A new person or a combination of seven people? Is the master of the seven remaining souls dead or alive?”

If the files of the three core members were shocking enough, the identity of the fourth member was even more shocking. Li Yao was rendered speechless for a long time.

The fourth core member of the yaksha squad was an Immortal Cultivator..
