Old Luo’s story was very simple.
He went to the Eastern Sea Fisher State and encountered danger, abandoned his closest friend to survive until now. After decades of mental torment, he resolutely decided to set out… seeking death.
Actually, all these years he had been waiting—waiting for someone to take him into the Eastern Sea Fisher State. During this time, he had rejected many martial artists’ invitations.
Not long ago.
A handsome young gentleman and a black-robed old man came to visit.
Both had decent strength, but Old Luo always felt somewhat unsafe, so he decisively refused.
It wasn’t until Jun Changxiao appeared with great fanfare riding the Ancient Penetrating Warship that the death-seeking heart in his body immediately began to beat wildly.
Confirming through eye contact!
He was the person I was waiting for!
Luo Zhilong said earnestly, “I remember the route to the Eastern Sea Fisher State, but along the way there will be many natural and man-made disasters. Whether you can resolve them depends on Sect Master Jun!”
To be honest, there was no shortage of navigators going to the Eastern Sea Fisher State. Even those who hadn’t been there could find the place as long as they had decades of experience. But the key was having the ability to resolve the various crises along the route!
“I can understand natural disasters, but what does man-made disaster mean?” Jun Changxiao asked.
Luo Zhilong said, “The sea region closest to the Eastern Sea Fisher State has pirates active year-round. Even if people from the continent luckily avoid the natural disasters, they might still die at their hands.”
“I see.”
Jun Changxiao was still quite wary of natural disasters. After all, the forces of nature were extremely terrifying. As for man-made disasters, he didn’t care at all.
Setting up a flag.
Whoever dares come rob me.
I’ll rob them of even their underwear!
“Old Luo, what natural disasters are there?”
“We haven’t yet sailed into the deep Eastern Sea region, so there’s no danger for now. But once we enter, the first thing we’ll experience is…”
Luo Zhilong paused and pointed outside, his face collapsing as he said, “A super storm!”
Jun Changxiao hurriedly looked over.
At the horizon where sky and sea met, pitch-black clouds gathered, like a huge black pot bottom suspended in the firmament!
“Holy crap!”
“Super indeed!”
This was just viewing it from the farthest distance. If they piloted the ship inside, it would definitely feel like being in a dark hell.
“Whoosh—”
The Ancient Penetrating Warship’s speed was extremely fast. Originally still a thousand li from the storm region, it quickly closed the distance considerably. That patch of dark clouds became even more spectacular, its area even wider. They could even see lightning spraying out from within the cloud layers.
“Sect Master Jun!”
Luo Zhilong said gravely, “The super storm is the first disaster at the outer perimeter of the deep Eastern Sea. Any ship that sails into it will not only suffer harassment from wild winds, but will also trigger lightning strikes. Over ten thousand years, the martial artists who died here are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges!”
When he first ventured to the Eastern Sea Fisher State, he had broken through it. Though he ultimately passed through without major incident, every time he recalled it he still felt his hair stand on end.
“No big problem,” Jun Dog Sheng said with a smile.
No… big problem?
That’s because you haven’t seen dozens of large sailboats traveling together, sinking instantly under towering waves and lightning bombardment!
Luo Zhilong had witnessed this scene and was nearly scared to the point of wetting himself at the time.
“Whoosh—”
The Ancient Penetrating Warship maintained the same speed as it advanced. Soon, it approached the super storm region.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
The ship hadn’t entered yet, but knife-like wild winds had already swept over.
Ye Ah Niu had just fixed his hairstyle. Because he hadn’t formed an air wall in advance to protect himself, his head full of black hair was once again blown into wild disarray.
“The power of love goes round and round!”
“Thinking of you until my heart blooms day and night!”
…
Though Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and the others had formed air walls in front of them in advance, feeling the wild winds sweeping over, they instantly realized that if this were ordinary people without cultivation, they’d probably be torn apart directly by the wind force!
On Earth, natural disasters were already extremely terrifying. As a higher-level Xingyun Continent, it would only be stronger, not weaker. So don’t look at how the living beings here generally had high lifespans—they could also die in an instant, their lives as insignificant as grass.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The wild winds continued to howl, their intensity continuously increasing.
“Whoosh—”
The Ancient Penetrating Warship’s speed remained unaffected. Finally, like a small sesame seed, it instantly merged into that super storm region covering a range of several thousand li!
Though Luo Zhilong in the pilot’s cabin wasn’t being harassed, after entering and seeing the surrounding pitch darkness, his breathing immediately became rapid, as if a huge stone pressed against his chest.
Only those who had truly experienced it could deeply understand how terrifying the first natural disaster was…
Wait!
Where’s Sect Master Jun!
Jun Changxiao, who had been standing beside him, vanished into thin air once the ship sailed into the storm region. Luo Zhilong hurriedly searched for him, then discovered that guy at the bow!
No way!
He actually went out on his own initiative, and even stood at the very front!
“Crackle crackle crackle crackle!”
Lightning power frantically gathered in the high sky. The originally dark hellish environment also welcomed brief light because of this, pouring down onto Jun Changxiao’s body. That face handsome enough to make people vomit showed a trace of pride.
Undeniably, the super storm was considerably stronger than regular natural disasters. But as a man who had once used his face… used his body to withstand a palm strike from the upper realm, how could he be afraid!
That moment.
Under the illumination of the light scattered by the lightning, Jun Changxiao standing at the bow seemed to be blessed by Buddha’s light, giving people an extremely sacred feeling.
A Sword-Martial Dual Saint—how could he not be saintly?
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a thunderous sound rang out from the high sky. The lightning power that had been brewing for so long struck down with great momentum right at the path the Ancient Penetrating Warship had to take.
Pulling the camera angle back, the flashing lightning looked like a gigantic sword energy descending from the heavens, viciously tearing apart everything around it.
Luo Zhilong’s eyeballs nearly popped out.
They had just entered the super storm region—the gathered lightning shouldn’t be this intense!
It must be that guy displaying such arrogance that he angered the Water God, which is why such terrifying lightning descended!
People who made their living by the sea for years mostly worshipped the Water God. Each year when going out to sea for fishing, they would also offer various sacrificial items in worship, praying for smooth sailing and safe return.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Crackle crackle—”
Wild winds howled, lightning struck down.
Jun Changxiao continued to stand arrogantly at the bow. He didn’t even look at the descending lightning, as if admiring the scenery below.
“Sect Master Jun, be careful!” Luo Zhilong cried out in alarm.
Screech!
Suddenly, the Ancient Penetrating Warship stopped.
“…”
Why did it stop!
Why did it stop at a time like this!
Luo Zhilong’s gaze immediately filled with despair!
At the Ancient Penetrating Warship’s previous speed, it might have been able to fly directly past and avoid being struck by lightning. Now that it suddenly stopped, and stopped right beneath it, they could only wait to be bombarded!
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, Li Qingyang strode forth with large steps, then stopped in the lightning strike zone, his head full of black hair blown open, a smile floating on his face.
“Buzz buzz!”
Space trembled slightly, and the Heaven-Slaying Thunder Pattern stood vertically before him.
“Snap!”
Li Qingyang’s right index finger moved gracefully, flicking against the scabbard.
“Clang—”
“Whoosh—”
The Heaven-Slaying Thunder Pattern was drawn from its sheath, flashing with dazzling light as it met the lightning power about to fall!
“Boom!”
The powerful lightning collided with it, as if injecting high pressure. The suspended weapon immediately burst with blinding, dazzling brilliance.
In that instant.
This region shrouded in darkness seemed to transform into daylight.
Shifting the camera angle to low altitude, one could clearly see many shattered ship planks and wooden boards floating on the sea surface.
“Whoosh!”
Li Qingyang’s thought stirred, recalling the Heaven-Slaying Thunder Pattern. Then he gripped it in his hand, feeling the violent lightning within, and said joyfully, “Sect Master, it really can use lightning to charge the weapon!”
Jun Dog Sheng smiled and said, “I’ll leave this place to you.”
“Yes!”
Li Qingyang gripped the Heaven-Slaying Thunder Pattern tightly, raised his head to look at the lightning still brewing in the rolling black clouds, his gaze burning hot as he said, “Come on, come on!”
