Desperate Night

Watching the ship fly back towards the floating city.

Everyone inside the Black Spirit was in a strange mood, with varied expressions.

“I originally thought the Ark was the only way… Looking at it now, the floating cities here seem more reliable,” Feisina couldn't help but whisper.

Chixiao shook his head: “The Heavenly Court thought so too back then.”

“But our Ark's power is indeed too weak compared to theirs,” Feisina frowned.

“That's also true.” Chixiao couldn't deny that. “So, what do you plan to do?” He looked at Feisina, seeming to guess something.

“Can't we stay? Stay here?” Feisina suggested.

“Aren't you afraid of being dissected?” Chixiao laughed.

“I'm so weak. They've even fragmented that kind of great divine power here. What am I? The main thing is that it's safe here. Just find a place to hide and live,” Feisina sighed.

“To be honest, ever since my world was destroyed, I've been living in fear every day, often waking up from nightmares. I crave the existence of a powerful world that can truly fight against the Source Calamity. And this place… fits my imagination.”

“I want to stay too.” White Dragon Jiafei also spoke up. “If it's the pinnacle of the arcane system, there will definitely be wish spells and greater resurrection spells here. Perhaps…”

As soon as she said this, even Ku Chan's heart trembled fiercely, and his expression changed slightly.

Yu Hong looked at the expressions of several people and roughly understood what they were thinking.

“Wanting to stay doesn't mean you can really stay, does it?” he said calmly. “Of course, if this place can indeed fulfill your wishes, I won't force you to stay. After all, we are gathered on this ship because of many unavoidable reasons. If this is your final destination, I will sincerely be happy for you, especially Ku Chan and Yiyi.”

Ku Chan didn't speak. Being able to resurrect his family was his greatest wish.

And Yiyi was actually similar, but the difference was that Yu Hong held a place in Yiyi's heart among her most important family members.

“Forget it, it's useless to say these things now. We can't stay anyway, can we?” Chixiao said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.

He was worried that the atmosphere would become increasingly strange if it continued like this, so he quickly spoke to ease the tension.

Yu Hong didn't speak, just waved his hand and turned to walk towards the main control room.

Before long, the Black Spirit turned its direction in space, and countless colored wind disaster lines appeared around it. With a whoosh, it disappeared into the vacuum again.

Yu Hong stood in front of the circular window of the main control room, looking at the dark tunnel that was speeding past in front.

The colored lines around him were rapidly changing color, from colorful to gray-black.

The outer wall of the safe house was also making subtle cracking sounds, obviously enduring enormous pressure.

Even though that patrolling arcane mage had told him that they couldn't pass through the Phoenix Eye without sufficient material reserves,

Yu Hong still wanted to try. After all, his Black Spirit had been strengthened by the Black Seal many times, and its strength far exceeded ordinary people's imaginations.

Outside the window, the black tunnel sped past, and the rough, cloud-like inner walls made Yu Hong feel like he was flying inside a necrotic large intestine.

Time slowly passed.

He cultivated while observing the outside situation.

Buzz.

Suddenly, the entire ship trembled, as if affected by a huge and continuous vibration.

“Moo…”

A huge, low sound rang out from the vibrations coming from outside.

Yu Hong saw that the tunnel in front also began to tremble, obviously affected by this vibration.

“Looks like it's starting.” He quietly watched outside.

Watching the increasingly strong tremors, and feeling the ship also trembling more and more.

Suddenly, the vibration disappeared.

Outside the front window, the black tunnel suddenly flickered.

Countless dazzling colored lines instantly filled his vision. They were like a sudden screen cut, appearing here out of nowhere without any warning.

These colored lines were in the shape of swirling vortexes, constantly circulating and rotating.

The Black Spirit struggled to travel between these vortexes, rushing forward.

But this river of wind disaster seemed to be rapidly widening from here.

No longer existing as a river, the increasingly wide area in front quickly made Yu Hong lose his sense of direction.

All directions were filled with colored line vortexes. It was impossible to distinguish between up, down, left, right, and all four directions.

The river channel they had just emerged from had disappeared without a trace.

Crack, crack.

Subtle squeezing sounds continued to be heard.

Fortunately, the outer wall of the Black Spirit was blocking the heavy pressure and continued to move forward.

Moo…

That huge vibration sound came again.

Yu Hong looked at the state of the Black Spirit in his perception, thought for a moment, and reached out to tap the wall.

A simple spell quickly weaved a red and green pointer disc.

On the disc, the black pointer was currently pointing to the green area, which meant that the outer wall of the Black Spirit was still very safe.

This was an energy indicator panel that Yu Hong had specially simulated in order to concretize the external pressure and the state of the safe house.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to intuitively determine the situation if he only perceived the changing states in his mind.

But if he added scales and numbers to these states, the effect would be completely different.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

The pointer on the indicator panel was gradually turning towards the red area.

Yu Hong nervously stared at the situation outside. At another window, Ku Chan and others were also gathered by the window, watching the rapidly changing scenery outside.

They had all noticed the danger just now.

Soon, another half hour passed.

The cracking sound of the outer wall was even louder, and the pointer on the pointer panel had pointed to the red area and was moving towards the extreme point.

Yu Hong's expression was calm. He quickly reached out, and red-purple Tai Ling Gong internal force lit up in his palm.

The internal force continuously emitted a large amount of mist-like light spots towards the ground. These light spots rapidly seeped into the ground, and then emerged from the outer wall of the Black Spirit, forming a layer of Yu Hong's own internal force protection.

His own internal force protection was definitely not as strong as the safe house, but using it here was entirely to buffer it, making the pressure on the outer wall smaller, and playing a role in strengthening and bonding.

At the same time, Yu Hong also activated the previously closed formation, allowing it to act as internal support and strengthen the overall protection.

After these two backup plans were used, the cracking sound of the outer wall also disappeared.

The ship also stabilized.

Yu Hong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go to the first floor to see the others.

Moo!

The strange roar from before came again.

Bang!!

The largest colored line vortex suddenly appeared at the front window.

This vortex appeared very abruptly, like a teleport, flashing out of thin air.

The Black Spirit immediately crashed into it.

Unable to dodge, it crashed head-on into the center of this vortex at full speed.

Boom!

The ship crashed into the center of the vortex, but instead of drilling into it like before, it was as if it had hit a wall, making a huge collision sound of hard against hard.

For a time, cracks appeared on the outer wall, and all the formations collapsed, leaving only Yu Hong's infinite internal force still supporting it, forcibly linking the walls together inside the outer wall, acting as the tendons and bones.

Undying-level internal force. Under the enormous external pressure, its power was finally revealed.

It was extremely tough and constantly self-repaired, like a butterfly struggling in a storm, bonding the outer wall together to form protection.

Shaking, fragile, but always able to barely maintain the most basic protection.

Yu Hong's forehead was sweating, and he stubbornly withstood the pressure, insisting on outputting Tai Ling Gong internal force.

But the external pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and cracks began to appear inside the wall.

The formation light patterns also began to flicker on and off, about to collapse at any time.

Bang!!

Finally, with a loud noise.

The safe house Black Spirit rebounded again, crashing hard into something and stopping.

Caught off guard, the extended perception was also hit hard by a huge force. He almost fainted from the pain on the spot.

He knew that he was almost at the limit and couldn't support it, so he quickly controlled the Black Spirit to automatically retreat.

Strangely, when he began to retreat, the external pressure quickly weakened like the tide receding.

Whoosh!

It seemed like the sound of waves hitting the hull came from outside.

Yu Hong shook his head, wiped the blood flowing from his nostrils, and looked out the window again.

Outside was a piece of colored light, dazzling and blinding, and nothing could be seen clearly.

“*!” He couldn't help cursing, and once again released his perception, carefully probing outwards from the hull.

This time it was okay.

His perception did not encounter the same huge pressure as before, but easily extended out, 'seeing' the situation outside.

Endless wide wind disaster colored lines formed a vast ocean.

In the ocean, the Black Spirit was like a small boat, swaying and being pushed by the huge waves in a certain direction.

And this direction was exactly the direction that Yu Hong was controlling to retreat automatically.

“Forward is against the wind and waves? No wonder the pressure is so great.” He understood somewhat.

Moo…

In the next moment, the huge vibration sound rang out again.

Now that he was relieved of the pressure, he could clearly see what the source of the sound was with his perception.

Inside the endless wind disaster sea, above the Black Spirit, there was a huge black human face.

The human face was facing the wind disaster sea below, closing its eyes and opening its mouth, constantly making sounds similar to cow roars and vomiting.

A large number of colored line-like wind disasters were spewing out of his mouth and flowing into the sea below.

“.I…!!!” Yu Hong didn't feel anything at first, but when he saw this scene, he instantly felt a strong sense of disgust.

But at this time, the safe house was already on the verge of collapse, and his internal force could only play a supporting role. If there was no outer wall, it would probably be blown up by the external pressure and wind and waves in an instant.

He had no choice but to continue to retreat in the direction he came from.

As the distance increased, the huge black human face in Yu Hong's perception was gradually covered by countless colored lines and disappeared.

But that stimulating scene was still deeply imprinted in his mind.

‘Is this whole sea puked out by that thing??!’ This was Yu Hong's only thought at this time.

Huff!

When the Black Spirit followed the tide and returned to the narrow wind disaster river channel, it was about an hour later.

The hull swayed, covered in cracks, and struggled to rush into the vortex it had left before.

With a poof.

The edge of the Absolute Balance Floating City, in the dark space.

A ship covered in cracks silently rushed out along with the colored lines.

Then, like losing power, it slowly floated in space, no longer moving.
