Chapter 962: Nine Dragons Island
Lin Feng and the others now seemed to realize the gravity of the situation. Everyone on the warship began murmuring, and those who had heard of the Wasteland Sea Storm wore expressions of panic. Even the warship's controller was so solemn, indicating that this storm could be devastating.
"Roar!" Faintly, a wild and domineering roar could be heard. The dark vortex slammed violently against the warship's light barrier, causing the entire vessel to tremble fiercely.
"So terrifying. Even a strike from the Carefree Sect Leader couldn't achieve such power." Lin Feng's heart shuddered. This was just one wave of attack. The rolling Wasteland Sea in the distance had transformed into a storm of desolation, and there were even sharp, piercing howls.
"That's... a dead spirit!" Lin Feng saw, within the destructive storm in the distance, terrifying eyes flickering. Very frightening.
Could it really be as the rumors said—that this Wasteland Sea was an ancient battlefield, where countless lives were lost, the heavens and earth collapsed, leading to the formation of this desolate, destructive sea?
"Why aren't you going inside?" The controller of the Purple Jade Warship shouted at Lin Feng. Wave after wave of terrifying storms slammed into the warship, causing it to shake continuously.
"I'll take a look." Lin Feng shook his head slightly and said to those beside him, "You go to the hall first. I'll be there soon."
"I want to see too!" Huangfu Long's eyes flickered as he stared at the destructive Wasteland Sea Storm, appearing quite excited.
"Oh?" The nearby expert frowned. This group of fellows actually wanted to watch this devastating storm.
"Suit yourselves." He said coldly, his legs firmly planted on the warship as strands of Essence Qi burst forth, flowing within the light barrier.
"Boom!"
A terrible storm struck the light barrier. The man grunted, his expression turning even more grim as he withdrew his Essence Qi.
"I'm afraid we've run into a devastating Wasteland Sea Storm." The man's face was grave. From what he had just sensed, this storm was extremely dangerous.
The sky grew darker and darker. The Purple Jade Warship had no way to retreat now; it could only press forward. The terrifying Wasteland Sea hurricane churned the space, as if countless vengeful spirits were howling.
"Roar..."
The heavens and earth suddenly plunged into complete darkness. Lin Feng and the others looked ahead and saw a vortex opening its massive maw, devouring the Purple Jade Warship.
"Boom, rumble!" The Purple Jade Warship trembled violently. Loud crashing sounds rose and fell one after another, as if the Essence light barrier was about to shatter. Lin Feng and the others' bodies tumbled uncontrollably. The entire Purple Jade Warship was swallowed in one gulp.
The world was dark and chaotic. At this moment, Lin Feng only heard the continuous booming sounds. Their bodies kept crashing against the warship. Many people cried out in terror. At this moment, it felt like doomsday had arrived.
"Will we die?" Lin Feng's body kept colliding with things. He thought to himself, never expecting to encounter such a terrifying Wasteland Sea Storm. If the storm shattered the light barrier, who knew what terrible consequences would follow.
"Lin Feng." At that moment, a voice called out from the darkness. It was Tang Youyou's voice.
"I'm here." Lin Feng responded. Then, with another crash, his body slammed into something unknown.
"Will we die?" Tang Youyou asked, making Lin Feng fall silent. Would they die? He didn't know either.
"Hang in there. As long as the storm doesn't break the Essence light barrier, we'll be fine." Jun Moxi's voice came from the darkness.
"Right. We still have to roam the Eight Wastelands Realm. How could we die here?" Lin Feng roared. He shouted, "Feiyang, Great Pest, answer me."
"I'm fine." Yun Feiyang's voice came through.
"What terrible weather. Why is it so dark?" Great Pest muttered, leaving Lin Feng and the others stunned. This guy...
The devastating storm continued. Lin Feng and the others felt as if their bones were about to shatter. Amid the howling storm, they could faintly hear cracking sounds, as if the Essence light barrier was about to break. Their hearts pounded wildly.
If the light barrier shattered, they would probably be devoured by the Wasteland Sea Storm in an instant.
It seemed like a long time had passed. Finally, the storm weakened. The crowd could clearly feel the tremors subsiding, filling many with excitement. The Wasteland Sea Storm was fading. The Purple Jade Warship had held on.
The fluctuations grew smaller and smaller. At last, the crowd saw light again.
Lin Feng steadied himself, standing on the Purple Jade Warship, looking at the still-roaring Wasteland Sea Storm. It felt like a dream. They had survived. This devastating storm was finally calming down.
Looking up, Lin Feng saw the Essence light barrier. It had faded considerably, with faint cracks appearing. If another round of storms came, it would likely shatter.
Turning around, Lin Feng saw Tang Youyou and the others walking toward him, their steps light. Smiles appeared on their faces.
Lin Feng smiled too. That was close. He never thought they would encounter such a terrifying Wasteland Sea Storm.
The Purple Jade Warship was now in shambles. The structures on it had collapsed. The crowd's faces showed surprise and joy. The storm had finally died down. They were all still alive.
The warship's controller stared at the Essence light barrier, his brow deeply furrowed. Then he turned and walked through the crowd to the beautiful woman, saying, "Miss Yang, I apologize for frightening you."
The woman shook her head. "This Purple Jade Warship is quite sturdy, holding up under such a terrifying storm. But now it probably can't withstand too much more abuse. Be careful."
"Mm, I understand." The warship's controller nodded. Indeed, the warship could no longer endure major storms.
The crowd felt a chill. This expert from Bright Moon Sail had come to console the beautiful woman right after the storm. They wondered what her status was, that he valued her so much.
The Purple Jade Warship continued forward. The storm finally subsided completely. But as they sailed through the Wasteland Sea, gazing at the deep, vast wasteland, everyone's hearts remained tense.
In the distance, terrifying desolate energy shot into the sky. Everyone's hearts tightened. What now? Another Wasteland Sea Storm?
The warship's controller also tensed, staring at the energy rising into the sky.
Then, black dots appeared on the horizon. They moved quickly, and soon the crowd could clearly see what they were.
Wasteland Sail Warships!
Five or six Wasteland Sail Warships appeared together, rapidly approaching. The warship's controller's expression stiffened.
In just a moment, these five or six massive warships blocked the Purple Jade Warship.
"Friends of Nine Dragons Island, it seems Bright Moon Sail has always kept to our own affairs, has it not?" the controller of the Purple Jade Warship said.
The Wasteland Sea had existed for countless years, giving birth to some natural formations as large as cities. These were discovered, and some experts even cultivated on the islands. Over time, formidable forces emerged. They roamed the Wasteland Sea, robbing martial artists and seizing treasures.
Nine Dragons Island was one of the most famous wasteland islands in the Wasteland Sea—a terrifying force.
"You can leave. We want this Purple Jade Warship." At that moment, a cold voice from the opposing warship pierced through the light barrier into the crowd's ears. Many people's expressions tightened. What bad luck—first a Wasteland Sea Storm, and now they had run into people from Nine Dragons Island.
"If Nine Dragons Island needs a Purple Jade Warship, Bright Moon Sail can offer one another day," the warship's controller said. He was equally frustrated. Nine Dragons Island had turned a wasteland island into a city, with a foundation even more terrifying than Bright Moon Sail's. They wouldn't care about them at all.
"Enough nonsense. Get lost or not?" Another cold voice spat out. Then, on the opposing warship, several figures rose into the air. These people exuded terrifying Essence Qi—all of them were powerful Venerables.
"It seems Nine Dragons Island isn't here just for a Purple Jade Warship." The warship's controller's expression froze, his face extremely ugly. Nine Dragons Island had deployed so many warships and experts. Clearly, their target wasn't the warship at all!
