1193: Chapter 1193: The Majesty of Heaven and Earth 1193: Chapter 1193: The Majesty of Heaven and Earth Dark clouds roiled, fierce winds rampaged, and thunder roared.
A storm was brewing in the night sky a dozen miles ahead of the ship, poised to descend.
Standing on the deck of the ship, the faces of the thousand martial artists looking at the apocalyptic sky ahead were filled with terror.
Even Fang Bai couldn’t help but frown slightly, his expression extrely solemn.
It was the true might of nature, containing powerful destructive forces of wind, water, and thunder—True Essence Forces.
Despite the considerable distance from the ship, an overwhelming pressure could be felt, oppressive and suffocating.
Even the group of formidable sea beasts that had been trailing the ship and waiting for an opportunity to strike quickly dived to the ocean floor, not daring to erge after the skies took a turn.
“Steward Wu, we should head south or north to bypass this dangerous area!”
A martial artist, frightened, shouted.
As soon as the martial artist spoke, not only did Wu Rongshan give a wry smile and a shake of his head, but the other martial artists also knew it was impossible.
The expanse of dark clouds was boundless, covering hundreds or thousands of miles, constantly moving, with no one able to predict where it would drift next.
Moreover, the dark clouds were only a dozen miles from the ship and moving much faster than the ship, making it impossible to avoid them by turning back now.
Adverse weather was common for ships traversing the Purgatory Sea, usually handled by sailing at full speed straight through the storm.
However, for Wu Rongshan, the storm brewing within that mass of dark clouds was arguably the largest he had ever seen, leaving him sowhat uneasy, uncertain if they could pass through it safely as they had before.
“Everyone, please rest assured, this ship is large and sturdy, and with a Defensive Array in place, it has safely withstood countless storms before.
I believe it will be safe this ti as well!”
Wu Rongshan spoke loudly.
Hearing his words, those martial artists, originally frightened and panicked, felt a bit more at ease.
Yet, so of the more experienced martial artists wore worried looks, thinking that such a fearso display of elental might is not so easily withstood.
Whether they would survive this ti would be up to fate.
Under Wu Rongshan’s direction, the sailors poured more Essence Stones into the ship’s drive to accelerate towards the black clouds, hoping to dash through the danger zone at the highest speed.
The dozen or so miles of sea passed in an instant, and the massive ship, like an arrow, pierced into the sea area beneath the dark clouds.
Below the dark clouds, visibility was almost nil, but many places on the ship were embedded with Essence Stones whose light was enough to dispel the fearful darkness, offering so comfort to the martial artists aboard.
While the storm was still incubating and had not yet fully unleashed its terrifying might, the martial artists could already feel the winds growing several tis stronger than before.
“The wind is so strong!”
A weaker martial artist, unable to stand steady against the howling winds, cried out and ran into his room to take shelter.
Under the shroud of dark clouds, the Water Elent Qi grew denser, which, upon reaching a certain saturation, would turn into a torrential downpour.
Looking up at the low-hanging dark clouds in the night sky, one could see strands of Lightning Snakes gathering, growing thicker and ready to transform into bolts of lightning striking down at any mont.
Under the force of the wind, the seawater was lifted several yards high, wave after wave crashing and battering the ship, the massive vessel swaying like a drunken man, seemingly at the brink of capsizing at any mont.
This scene was even more ferocious than when the Dragon Whales ramd into the ship just a while ago, but fortunately, the martial artists were fully prepared, and there was no repeat of martial artists falling into the sea as before.
“Brother Fang, we won’t have any trouble, will we?”
Standing beside Fang Bai, Dongfang Ruhua saw the slight frown on Fang Bai’s brow, seemingly worried, and with her bright, clear eyes that were black and white and sparkling like water, she blinked and asked softly.
Dongfang Ruhua possessed an Innate Thunder Spirit Root, not only was she not afraid of thunder and lightning, but she also felt a natural affinity for it.
From ti to ti, she looked up at the electric snakes gathering in the night sky, her expression clearly exhilarated.
“Of course there won’t be any trouble.”
Although Fang Bai was not optimistic about the ship’s ability to withstand the assault of the storm, it was not a ti for disheartening words; he smiled and gently patted Dongfang Ruhua’s head, saying, “Even if there really is trouble, I will keep you all safe!”
Fang Bai had many life-saving asures.
Despite the imminent storm making him feel quite troubled, it was not enough to leave him helpless and waiting to die.
Even if the ship were to be torn apart, capsizing and sinking amidst the raging storm and thunderous lightning, he had ways to lead Su Linglong, Dongfang Ruhua, and the others out of the predicant and to escape to safety.
When Fang Bai was in the Secular World, he liked to occasionally pat Dongfang Ruhua’s head; it was a habitual act that also showed a very intimate relationship between the two.
Dongfang Ruhua enjoyed Fang Bai patting her head; she felt it was a sign that Fang Bai favored her even more.
Under the envious gazes of Su Linglong and the other won, Dongfang Ruhua quietly moved closer to Fang Bai, her upper body nearly nestled in his arms.
A hint of joy appeared on her pretty face, her lips held a shy smile, her eyes squinted contentedly like a cat, sniffing the masculine scent of Fang Bai which she found deeply intoxicating, looking utterly at ease.
Among Fang Bai’s female companions, Dongfang Ruhua was the youngest and purest, without any craftiness, and thus had a good relationship with the others, almost like sisters.
At this mont, the affectionate interaction between Dongfang Ruhua and Fang Bai was noticed by Su Linglong, Linghu Qianjiao, and Linghu Baii who all laughed quietly, showing no sign of jealousy.
Zhuge Lian had t Fang Bai in the True Martial Realm and had only recently gotten acquainted with Dongfang Ruhua; not yet very familiar with her, she fancied Fang Bai and seeing Dongfang Ruhua so intimate with him, she couldn’t help but pout slightly, feeling a bit of heartache.
“Boom!”
Right at that mont, a thunderous explosion struck amidst the dark clouds overhead, startling nearly everyone on the ship, who then looked up.
“The storm…
has finally arrived!”
Fang Bai looked up at the sky, his eyes shining with sharp glints, murmuring to himself.
“Crack!”
A thick bolt of lightning struck down from the dark clouds, illuminating the entire night sky, the display shockingly majestic.
The next mont, torrential rain poured down.
The majesty of heaven and earth was fully displayed at this ti.
Despite the intensity of the wind and the rain not being lethal, and the martial artists not fearing it, the lightning bolts that kept piercing through the clouds were enough to make them panic-stricken, forcing them to run into rooms on the ship to take cover.
