As Aldrian’s cruiser got closer to the stormy clouds, the sea beca more violent and the wind grew more chaotic. Heavy rain began to strike them, and lightning followed by rumbling thunder colored the dark sky.
The view was truly terrifying.
The spiritual beasts also did not dare to make their territory too close to the stormy area, as if they knew this was a dangerous zone. Aldrian knew that this kind of phenonon, which prevented anyone from entering deeper into the region, would likely extend all the way into the deep sea and down to the seabed.
As the cruiser kept flying into the stormy area, their speed was reduced. They did not sense any disturbance because of the barrier protecting them. However, they knew that the mont the barrier disappeared, they would be thrown from the cruiser by the powerful wind.
They could see the barrier protecting them as the torrential rain and violent wind tried to break through it. Although Sylphia and the others trusted Aldrian, the scene still made them tense.
Aldrian could sense that the area they were passing through at this mont could throw even an emperor stage cultivator like a kite with its string cut off and kill them. They could not pass through this area at all, even if they used so kind of artifact.
Space itself felt chaotic. Anyone who tried to use space laws in this place would face great difficulty or be unable to use spatial abilities at all. If they attempted movent based on space laws, they could end up dead after being thrown into a deeper part of the region, where the area beca far more deadly.
Aldrian still calmly looked forward, while Sylphia and the others had already moved closer to him in search of comfort. They felt extrely tense as they looked at the violent storm, unable to stop themselves from imagining what would happen if the barrier shattered.
Klein also looked at the surroundings of the cruiser, which had already turned pitch-black. Only the flashes of lightning served as their source of light.
Fear could be seen in his eyes. Sweat had already rolled down his face as he also moved much closer to Aldrian.
"Sir, is this really okay for us to enter this deep? Can the cruiser withstand the power of nature here?" he asked hesitantly.
Aldrian smiled at him. "You don’t have to worry. This cruiser can withstand this much, so you can relax and just enjoy the chaos."
Klein was speechless upon hearing that, but it gave him slight relief.
Still, Klein never expected that Aldrian would bring them this deep into the stormy area. Even he and his father had not dared to go this far. The deepest his father could go was only before the area entirely fell into darkness. He did not dare to go any deeper because of the power of nature.
That was what his father told him in the past.
As for him? Heck, he did not even dare to enter the stormy area at all.
But then Klein thought about his father, who might have possibly tried to enter this area because of the signs they had seen that day. He thought that his father might have been truly determined to look into the deeper part of the region, which made him even more reckless.
Did his father really have a chance to survive this?
His father was a low pseudo immortal establishnt cultivator, so he was not weak. However, looking at the power of nature here, he did not know if even a peak pseudo immortal establishnt stage cultivator could survive.
As they all kept going, they finally reached an area where the waves rose to nearly two hundred ters. Not far in front of them, there were many massive waterspouts.
They did not know how many, but in the brief monts when lightning illuminated the area, they could see nurous waterspouts extending into a much deeper part of the region.
After more than a day since they started their journey, the cruiser finally stopped its movent right outside the region where the waterspouts blocked their path.
Aldrian then looked at his harem and smiled at them.
"All right, ladies. From this mont on, I will go alone. You all stay here. Once I think it is safe for you to go deeper, then I will bring you all into the much deeper region to see what mystery lies behind this place."
Sylphia and the others showed their smiles, but it was clear that they were truly worried about him. Sylphia grabbed the edge of his robe.
"Be careful, dear. Just looking at our surroundings makes scared. If it is too dangerous, please co back."
"Yes, you don’t have to force yourself if you cannot proceed. Don’t endanger your life," Baek Jimin also said.
Angelica did not say anything, but her expression showed that she agreed with them. As the most junior among Aldrian’s harem, she felt the most tense about him. Hearing that he wanted to go out alone made her want to stop him imdiately.
Although she knew how strong Aldrian was, it still made her worry about his safety while facing such a dangerous environnt.
However, seeing Sylphia and Baek Jimin trust him enough to let him go out, only reminding him to return if it was too dangerous, she decided to learn to believe in him as well.
Had they already grown used to seeing Aldrian face this kind of power of nature? Then she would also believe in him and support him.
Aldrian smiled, took Sylphia’s hand, and kissed it. He then took Baek Jimin’s hand and kissed it as well. Lastly, he took Angelica’s hand, slightly stunning her, and kissed it before speaking to all of them.
"Yes, my ladies."
He then closed his eyes for a mont before opening them again. He released his golden energy, forming a shield that surrounded his body.
"I’m going," he said one last ti before suddenly disappearing. The three beauties could only hope that he would be fine now that he was already out there.
Klein, who saw Aldrian disappear, then looked toward the waterspout region not far from them. He bit his lip, hoping that everything would be all right, that Aldrian would return safely, and that he could help him find traces of his father.
---------------------------
Aldrian was already deep inside the area, where waterspouts surrounded him. The powerful wind gave the sensation of sharp blades and even made space itself chaotic. Aldrian could sense small spatial rifts in many areas near the waterspouts.
In fact, it was not only space. The surrounding energy here was also chaotic, making it impossible for cultivators to absorb or manipulate energy to strengthen elental techniques or even unleash them.
Spiritual sense was also useless, as it would be swept away by the chaotic wind and space.
This was an area where cultivators could do nothing at all, an absolute killing zone.
The power of nature in this place could instantly kill a peak pseudo immortal stage cultivator. Aldrian did not underestimate it and used his energy barrier combined with the power of his domain as his defense, blocking the slicing wind and the terrifying suction of the waterspouts.
The distance between one waterspout and another was more or less a hundred ters, and they extended into a much deeper region. The waterspouts ford a tight defense against anyone who wished to pass through this area, although Aldrian doubted that anyone had ever reached this far.
This place was, in so ways, much more challenging than the Bottomless Abyss because of the existence of deadly phenona such as waterspouts and deadly storm.
Aldrian decided to continue using his domain ability to pass through this region, as it was much safer and faster. He created his domain many tis while moving forward, following the flow of faith energy, which was not affected by the chaotic space.
He kept teleporting to safe areas between the waterspouts and only after more than an hour of doing this, he finally passed through the waterspout region.
What he found afterward was a calm sea that stood in sharp contrast to the environnt behind him.
Although the region was still shrouded in darkness because of the overcast clouds, he could sense that the sea ahead was truly calm as far as he could sense.
It created an amazing spectacle that could not be explained by common knowledge.
How could a violent sea filled with towering waves and deadly phenona exist side by side with such a tranquil sea? Even the mont Aldrian reached it, the wind felt soothing.
This strangeness was not too shocking to Aldrian, as he knew it must be the work of a large scale, nature based formation.
After observing the calm sea, he continued his journey. He kept using his domain just in case, and as he moved forward, he could sense nothing but tranquility. However, he also caught sothing unusual within the sea’s environnt.
"I see. There is a strong illusion formation placed here as well," he murmured. If anyone stepped into this calm sea region, it was most probable that they would beco lost, unable to find any direction amid the darkness and the illusions that would confuse them.
Even for him, he did not lose his way because he was following the flow of faith energy.
After moving for another twenty-five minutes, he finally saw light on the horizon.
He could sense that his destination was getting nearer!
