Chapter 2297: Chapter 2317: Skyfire Descends upon the World, Can It Be Stopped?_1

Lin Chen was not afraid of the Huan Yue Sect; his only goal was to rescue Mi Xiaowan, not to kill their Young Sect Master, Lin Yuanyi.

For the Huan Yue Sect, Mi Xiaowan was merely a plaything casually requested by Lin Yuanyi. Her life and death were of no real importance.

In the following days, everything was calm and smooth, with no accidents occurring.

When Purple Cloud had free time, she would go to have tea and chat with Mi Xiaowan. Their relationship quickly became intimate, but Lin Chen had never made contact with Mi Xiaowan, which greatly relieved Fang Shan’an.

He was actually conflicted inside; he did not wish for Mi Xiaowan to be sent to the Huan Yue Sect to face a dire fate, but he had no choice, even going so far as to firmly eliminate any possibility of Mi Xiaowan’s escape, all in order to deliver her to Lin Yuanyi’s hands.

Lin Yuanyi had said that if Mi Xiaowan was not delivered, all agreements would be void.

The Fengxue Sect could not afford to provoke the Huan Yue Sect.

The Huan Yue Sect possessed more than a handful of Daluo Ultimate Immortals, even including peak Daluo Ultimate Immortals, while the Fengxue Sect only had one Daluo Ultimate Immortal, who was at the first-level. The Huan Yue Sect could send anyone over and easily annihilate the Fengxue Sect.

Even knowing they were being extorted under false pretenses, what could they do?

Who made them mistakenly kill an Inner Sect Disciple of the other party?

Being unreasonable and unable to win, simply paying compensation was already a very gentle way of handling things in the survival-of-the-fittest Immortal Realm.

Fang Shan’an was aware that Mi Xiaowan had revealed the truth to Purple Cloud, and he also knew that Purple Cloud felt sympathy for Mi Xiaowan. He did not obstruct the two from associating, as he saw it, perhaps this was already the last bit of happiness for Mi Xiaowan.

"We’ve been on this ship for two months now, right? How much longer will we need to travel?"

"We’re near the end. We’ve covered more than half the journey. Once we cross through the Storm Domain, we’ll move much faster. I estimate it’ll take about half a month to reach the coast."

Lin Chen casually asked, "The Storm Domain, what is that?"

Chen Youdong explained, "The weather within the Storm Domain is unpredictable, with sudden gales and torrential rains, tsunamis, and various severe conditions often occurring. If a ship encounters these special conditions, the possibility of sinking increases, making it a high-risk area for voyaging."

Lin Chen nodded, "How long does it take to cross the Storm Domain?"

Chen Youdong replied, "It depends on luck. If we’re lucky and don’t encounter adverse conditions, then it’s estimated that we can get through in seven to eight days. But if we do encounter severe conditions, then the time will be greatly extended."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Even if we encounter terrible weather, with a Daluo Ultimate Immortal on board, there shouldn’t be any problem, right? After all, he is someone who can even freeze the Ocean completely."

Chen Youdong said with a laugh, "Yes, that’s the sense of security you get when you’re on a top-class ship. If it were another ship, even a first-class one, and it really encountered extremely adverse conditions, the guards onboard might not be able to manage."

The Sea King entered the Storm Domain and after half a day, the conditions at sea began to deteriorate.

Gales howled, and Huge Waves churned; the Sky also grew darker and more overcast. In the midair, it seemed as if Tribulation Clouds were rolling, hanging low above the sea surface, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Even though the Sea King was as solid as a fortress, it still began to lose its steadiness, swaying with the motion of the huge waves, and the swaying grew more and more intense.

Just as many passengers began to panic, guards flew out to the side where the Huge Waves surged, deploying their Magical Treasures to directly shatter the incoming waves.

As the Huge Waves broke apart, although fierce water still surged, it no longer caused any damage to the fortress-like Sea King, and the ship’s undulations immediately lessened.

Man-made wave breaking.

It must be said, the help of immortals is indeed useful.

The immortal guards from Mountain Sea Sect’s War Sea Hall took turns to shatter one towering wave after another, escorting the Sea King as it cut through the wind and waves, advancing forward.

Watching the adept escort work of the guards on the Sea King, everyone’s fear of nature quickly dissipated again.

With a Daluo Ultimate Immortal as escort, what was there to fear?

However, on the fourth evening after entering the Storm Domain, an attack came suddenly and with an unmatched domineering force.

The dark Sky was suddenly lit up by firelight.

Giant metal-sheened spheres appeared in midair, hurtling down from the Nine Heavens with terrifying speed, piercing through layer upon layer of dense clouds, and appeared abruptly above the Sea King, crashing down towards the ship at breakneck velocity.

Each of these enormous spheres was covered in countless spikes, trailing long tails of Flames in the air like Meteors, and smashed violently onto the Barrier.

Each sphere had a diameter of at least a hundred meters and its weight was unknown, but with such high speed impacts, each embodied terrifying energy.

The Barrier was strong!

Despite the comet-like terror of these collisions, the amazingly powerful Barrier still did not break.

The sharp spikes on the spheres struck the Barrier and then twisted under the immense kinetic force before finally breaking off with a snap.

The huge, spikeless spheres then collided directly with the Barrier and exploded with a thunderous boom.
