Chapter 944: s.p.a.ce Storm

The sight of Xiao Yan's group suddenly turned black the instant they stepped into the Wormhole. Their bodies abruptly felt like they had lost their weight. However, this feeling swiftly disappeared an instant later. Immediately, a strange s.p.a.ce tunnel appeared within their sight.

The thing that appeared in front of Xiao Yan's group was a s.p.a.ce tunnel, that one could not see the end of. On the two sides of the tunnel was a faint silver-colored s.p.a.ce barrier. There were over ten tunnels that were ten feet in size within the s.p.a.ce walls. The ends of the tunnels were a deep blackness. The upper and lower parts of the tunnels were a similar darkness that caused one to feel some fear. A dense spatial ripple faintly seeped out from them. The entire tunnel was dead quiet without even the slightest sound.

Xiao Yan involuntarily felt absent-minded upon seeing this kind of s.p.a.ce tunnel for the first time despite his usual calmness. His gaze slowly looked over the barrier formed by spatial strength on both sides of the tunnel. Outside of it was a never ending darkness. No one knew just what kind of scene was present there.

"Big brother Xiao Yan, take out the s.p.a.ce Boat that the ancestor of the Luo clan has given you. That thing's flying speed in this place is quite fast. With it, we will only need twenty days or so before we can arrive in the Central Plains." Xin Lan suddenly spoke and broke this dead silence.

Xiao Yan also recovered after hearing this. He shook his hand and the s.p.a.ce Boat appeared in it. This thing had just appeared when it moved like a fish that had just entered the water and expanded with the wind. Within a couple of blinks, it had transformed into a ten-foot -large boat in front of Xiao Yan's stunned eyes. The surface of the boat had threads of a faint-silver-colored spatial strength flowing over it, causing it to appear extremely mysterious.

"Tsk tsk. This thing actually possesses such a use… no wonder it is so expensive to build." Xiao Yan's mouth immediately emitted a clicking exclamation as he looked at this change. His body leaped and he took the lead to step onto this boat. The curious Zi Yan and two others swiftly followed behind him.

"There is an input point at the helm of the boat. As long as some Dou Qi is poured into it, it will enable this s.p.a.ce boat to fly within this s.p.a.ce tunnel. This s.p.a.ce boat is really a good thing. There are factions and shops in the Central Plains that specialize in selling such things. There, the s.p.a.ce Boats are differentiated by grades. Grade nine is the highest while grade one is the lowest. From the looks of this s.p.a.ce Boat, it seems that it should be around grade four or so." Xin Lan smiled lovingly as she explained

Xiao Yan glanced at the front of the boat with surprise. He nodded before looking at the s.p.a.ce barrier on both sides. He asked, "This thing won't end up getting out will it?"

"No, it won't happen. The s.p.a.ce Boat can only be used within the s.p.a.ce tunnel. It is completely useless outside. Moreover, as long as one maintains a straight flying route, nothing will usually happen… Of course, nothing is for certain. Danger exists no matter where one travels. Moreover, this place also hides many dangers when one travels her… however, there is an extremely low chance of one meeting with it. I have never met such a thing during the many times that I have used Wormholes." Xin Lan explained.

Xiao Yan sighed in relief in his heart when he heard this. He sat crossed-legged at the front of the boat. He turned his head to Zi Yan and the rest, "In that case, everyone should sit tight. Now… the journey begins!"

Xiao Yan waved his hand as his words sounded. A powerful Dou Qi surged out before entering the input point. Immediately, the entire boat shook. Finally, a pus.h.i.+ng force shot out from the tail of the s.h.i.+p. With a 'xiu' sound, the s.p.a.ce boat transformed into a silver light that cut through s.p.a.ce in a lightning-like manner as it shot explosively into the empty darkness…

The speed of the s.p.a.ce boat was extremely frightening within the s.p.a.ce tunnel. It was not overboard to describe it as something that chased the stars and moon. Xiao Yan's group could only see the two silver-colored s.p.a.ce walls moving flying back with a 'xiu xiu' sound as they sat within the boat. This kind of speed caused one's eyes to be dazzled.

A silver glow quietly flashed within the quiet s.p.a.ce tunnel. An instant later, it disappeared into the end of the darkness. That appearance was as though it was a lonely traveller in s.p.a.ce…

The so-called Wormhole was a connection between two locations that allowed the distance between them to become extremely short. According to what Xin Lan had said, they should be able to reach the Central Plains after twenty days or so with their speed. If they were to travel in the real world, it was likely that they would have required at least half a year in order to reach the Central Plains from Horizon City.

After the initial freshness, the journey had once again become dull. Zi Yan could no longer endure boredom after s.n.a.t.c.hing the boat to play for a couple of hours. She returned it back to Xiao Yan, entered the cabin, and slept.

Xiao Yan did not dare to randomly enter his training condition while journeying in this kind of s.p.a.ce tunnel, filled with unknown danger. In any case, his current strength was more than sufficient to maintain the support of the s.p.a.ce boat. Hence, he did not train even once during the remaining traveling period. He would slowly recover the exhausted Dou Qi by occasionally consuming a medicinal pill.

Although the speed within the s.p.a.ce tunnel was far faster than the outside world, the dullness was also even greater. The uniform blackness would cause someone mentally weak to feel some irritation within their heart after seeing it for a long time. It was fortunate that Xiao Yan was not the only person present in this place. Otherwise, that dullness would likely have caused even him to feel a little depressed.

Time quietly disappeared during this kind of dullness…

A silver glow flashed past within this faint silver-colored s.p.a.ce tunnel. On it, a black-robed, young man mechanically raised his hand and a wave of Dou Qi surged out.

"Let me take over." A gentle voice suddenly sounded behind Xiao Yan. He was startled. He turned his head and saw that the Little Fairy Doctor had appeared behind him. He smiled and said, "How many days has it been since we entered the s.p.a.ce tunnel?"

"Sixteen days. We should be able to reach our destination after a couple more days." The Little Fairy Doctor smiled as she answered him. After which, she slowly walked up to Xiao Yan and sat cross-legged behind him. A wave of Dou Qi pillar whizzed out and immediately lingered over the energy input.

Xiao Yan smiled when he saw this. He withdrew his hand into his sleeve as a tiredness flashed across his eyes. Although this period of traveling did not exhaust too much of his Dou Qi, he was extremely tired mentally.

Xiao Yan inhaled a deep breath and slowly lay his body down. His hand cupped the back of his head as his eyes watched the endless blackness. A moment later, he slightly turned his head, looked at the graceful curves under the white dress beside him and smiled. He said, "Currently, we have gathered all the things needed to control the Woeful Poison Body. However, due to that rank 6 Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast, it is likely that it will be unable to attain a perfect effect. I am also not very certain if there will be any sequelae. Hence, I suggest that we still try our best to follow the requirements of the Poison Pill for safety's sake and obtain that rank 7 Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast. We will deal with the Woeful Poison Body after that. Unless it is a critical moment, it is best not to use that rank 6 Monster Core."

"Yes, it is up to you to decide on this matter…" The Little Fairy Doctor nodded her snow-white chin and gently responded. Although her strength was much higher than Xiao Yan's, it seemed that the one who was making the decisions over these matters was always Xiao Yan. She did not reject such a feeling.

"Hmm, as a friend, I am really extremely dutiful…" Xiao Yan raised his head to the sky and sighed. His voice contained a teasing tone.

The Little Fairy Doctor suddenly smiled when she heard Xiao Yan's words. She immediately rotated her eyes, glanced at Xiao Yan and softly said, "Is it… just friends huh…"

"Huh?"

Xiao Yan was stunned by the Little Fairy Doctor's words. His exchanged looks with her. After which, his eyes involuntarily drifted away. In an instant, the atmosphere at the front of the boat had become a little strange.

"Bang!"

This kind of strange atmosphere did not last long before it was broken by the sudden intense shaking of the boat. Xiao Yan and the Little Fairy Doctor were startled. They hurriedly raised their heads. With solemn faces, they discovered that the two sides of the s.p.a.ce tunnel not far in front, where the walls of the tunnel formed from spatial strength were, had become much weaker. At a glance one could even see the nothing blackness outside of the tunnel.

"What has happened."

A startled exclamation sounded from within the cabin. Zi Yan and Xin Lan hurriedly ran out. With a sweep of their gaze, they noticed the much weaker s.p.a.ce walls.

"The s.p.a.ce walls here have yet to be completely repaired. An external force has broken the equilibrium within the tunnel. Be careful. An external strength has broken the equilibrium of the Wormhole…" Xin Lan spoke in a deep voice.

"Nothing will happen, will it?" Xiao Yan frowned and asked.

"This… it's uncertain. If the s.p.a.ce walls become illusory, it is extremely easy for a s.p.a.ce storm to occur. Should we be pulled into the nothingness s.p.a.ce by the storm, it is extremely difficult for us to escape alive unless we are elite Dou Zuns…" Xin Lan hesitated a little before speaking with a bitter smile, "Now we can only hope that we will not meet that d.a.m.n thing. According to our speed we should reach the Central Plains soon."

Xiao Yan knit his brows even more tightly when he heard this. He turned his head to the Little Fairy Doctor, "Slow the speed a little. Be careful of the suction force that is transmitted from outside the s.p.a.ce walls."

The Little Fairy Doctor's expression also became serious. A majestic Dou Qi surged out of her body. It immediately wrapped around the boat. After which, the boat swiftly rushed through the s.p.a.ce tunnel.

Xiao Yan's group spent the next two days in an extremely nervous manner. This was because the s.p.a.ce walls had become more and more illusionary. Dark-black empty s.p.a.ce had even appeared in some spots. The suction force that was transmitted from the holes would likely have sucked them in had the Little Fairy Doctor not used her Dou Qi to stabilize the boat. Despite this, the journey was still extremely soul-stirring.

Fortunately, despite things being trilling, the so-called s.p.a.ce Storm did not appear. Xiao Yan's group slowly sighed in relief because of this. However, on the last day, when they thought that things would continue to be smooth…A clear cracking sound and an unusual whistling wind suddenly sounded, causing their expressions to become unusually ugly…

Chapter 945: Frightening Tunnel

The thing that appeared in front of Xiao Yan's group was a storm that had formed from silver-colored spatial strength. It coincidentally sealed off the entire tunnel. The turbulent suction force that was transmitted from the silver-colored storm caused the s.p.a.ce boat, Xiao Yan was in, to repeatedly tremble, sort of feeling as though it was about to crumble.

"s.p.a.ce Storm…"

Xin Lan muttered to herself. Her expression had become much paler as she stared at the raging silver-colored storm within the tunnel. It was unexpected that this unlucky thing had still appeared.

"Is this the s.p.a.ce Storm… it is indeed quite terrifying. Such a powerful spatial strength is something that even an elite Dou Zong would have difficulty displaying…" Xiao Yan's eyes stared intently at the silver-colored storm, that was like an enormous python, as he slowly spoke.

"What do we do now?" The Little Fairy Doctor's eyebrows were vertical as she asked.

"We can only forcefully charge through it. According to my guess, we should not be far from the exit. As long as we can reach the exit, we will be able to escape the s.p.a.ce Storm." Xin Lan forcefully suppressed the thread of terror within her heart as she gave a suggestion.

Xiao Yan knit his brows slightly when he heard this. He looked at the s.p.a.ce Storm that was gradually spinning toward them. A moment later, he sighed and said in a deep voice, "Little Fairy Doctor, prepare to charge forward. You will protect the body of the s.h.i.+p. I will control its speed!"

"Yes." The Little Fairy Doctor nodded. She did not say anything else as her lovely body drifted back. Majestic Dou Qi surged out in all directions, transforming into a giant grayish-purple python. The enormous python wrapped the s.h.i.+p within its body before raising its head and hissing at the sky.

"Go! Zi Yan, Xin Lan, hold on tight!" A deep cry was transmitted from Xiao Yan's mouth. Immediately, he waved his sleeves and powerful Dou Qi was poured into the s.p.a.ce boat. Finally, it transformed into a fierce pus.h.i.+ng force that caused the s.p.a.ce boat to shoot off like an arrow with a 'xiu' sound.

After forcing the boat to its maximum speed, the s.p.a.ce boat transformed into a faint-silver-colored figure. With a flash, it leaped a thousand meters before finally running headlong into the raging silver storm.

Bang! Bang!

The s.p.a.ce boat had just charged into the storm when the body of the boat began to vibrate. Creaking sounds were repeatedly emitted, as though it was a lonely boat navigating a great storm, facing the miserable fate of being shattered.

Xiao Yan's expression gradually turned gloomier as he sensed the frightening tearing force that was emitted from the s.p.a.ce storm. It was fortunate that the Little Fairy Doctor was strong. If it had been some other person, it was likely that they would have difficulty blocking this kind of spatial tearing. Even though this was the case, the Little Fairy Doctor would definitely not be able to last long. Hence, he needed to charge out of this d.a.m.n place as soon as possible.

This thought flashed across Xiao Yan's heart as he violently clenched his teeth. More powerful Dou Qi shot out. The speed of the s.p.a.ce boat was gradually raised to its limit. Threads of faint-silver-colored Spatial Force flickered repeatedly like a light…

The s.p.a.ce boat's small figure was insignificant within the enormous s.p.a.ce storm. Even though Xiao Yan had unleashed the boat's maximum, the tearing force of the surrounding s.p.a.ce was not reduced at all. Instead, it became even more terrifying. In the end, the enormous grayish-purple energy python, that had been wrapped around the s.p.a.ce boat, began to show signs of becoming illusionary. Clearly, even the Little Fairy Doctor had difficulty completely blocking the wild and violent suction of s.p.a.ce.

"Zi Yan, help her!" Xiao Yan cried out in a deep voice. His eyes solidified upon sensing the intense b.u.mps that were being transmitted from the body of the s.h.i.+p.

Zi Yan did not pipe up with any nonsense when she heard Xiao Yan's cry. Her small hands swiftly formed numerous seals that left one dazzled. Immediately, waves from a strange purple-colored glow surged out of her body.

With the help of this crystal glow, Zi Yan's small body suddenly began to swiftly grow. Her purple hair also grew like wild gra.s.s. In a mere instant, she transformed into someone with hair similar to a purple-colored waterfall, extending to her b.u.t.tocks. Zi Yan had used a Secret Technique during this critical moment, enabling her strength to be raised to its peak…

When Zi Yan became that s.e.xy purple-haired beauty, the aura that spreading from her body greatly rose. In the end, it faintly exceeded Xiao Yan's aura.

"Condensate Spirit!"

A clear cry was transmitted from Zi Yan's mouth. A bright purple glow shot from the top of her head. It vaguely agglomerated and formed an extremely large mysterious beast spirit. Due to Zi Yan's purple light being too bright, it was difficult to clearly see the appearance of that beast spirit.

This purple-colored beast spirit had just appeared when it let out a soul-stirring roar toward the sky. The voice transformed into faint purple-colored sonic waves that repeatedly spread out in all directions, suppressing the tearing strength of the s.p.a.ce storm.

The pressure the Little Fairy Doctor was immediately reduced with Zi Yan's help. Her pretty face was tensed as she diverted some attention to swiftly repair the enormous energy python that had been shattered by the s.p.a.ce-tearing strength.

Xiao Yan's face eased slightly as he sensed the somewhat calmer boat. However, he did not relax even a little within his heart. He knew that the tearing strength of the storm would become even more frightening. It was only the beginning!

The calmness did not last very long just as Xiao Yan had expected. An even more intense b.u.mp struck once again. The wild and violent Spatial Strength was just like numerous poisonous snakes, snapping at people as they surged out from within the storm. They violently bit at the enormous energy python wrapped around the boat. Under the powerful pus.h.i.+ng force, the creaking sound that was emitted from the s.p.a.ce boat became more and more intense.

Xiao Yan's face was filled with a solemness. A moment later, his throat suddenly emitted a low roar. Both of his hands pressed on the energy input point at the front of the s.h.i.+p as waves of Dou Qi followed his arms and surged out like a wave of water…

Xiao Yan went all out to maintain the speed and prevent the boat from being pulled into the empty s.p.a.ce by the storm. The purple glow outside Zi Yan's body also became denser. In the end, her toes appeared to be half an inch above the boat. A crystal layer like purple-colored glow slowly spread out from her palm before lingering outside of the boat.

A strange scene started to occur when this purple-colored light aura appeared. The wild and violent spatial strength pouncing over was being reflected back by the crystal glow. After which, they continued to collide with the spatial strength. Explosive sounds appeared, causing the illusionary s.p.a.ce to become extremely distorted.

The purple-colored crystalline glow was effective However, it exhausted Zi Yan very quickly. Hence, the crystal glow continued for a short few minutes before it ended up shattering. Zi Yan's throat also emitted a low m.u.f.fled groan as a thread of fresh blood followed the corner of her mouth and seeped down. Her gem-like eyes had become much dimmer.

"Big brother Xiao Yan, we are about to reach the exit!"

Xin Lan's joyful voice was just like a heart tonic while everyone was clenching their teeth and enduring. Xiao Yan raised his head and did indeed see a silver-colored light circle suddenly appearing in the distant darkness. That place was the exit of the Wormhole!

"Bang!"

Before Xiao Yan's group could let out a joyful cry at having seen the exit, an unusually frightening Spatial Strength violently struck the boat. The strength was extremely great. Were it not for the Little Fairy Doctor going all out to maintain the boat, it was likely that it would have been scattered on the spot.

Xiao Yan used a short amount of time to glance behind him. His eyes involuntarily shrank. He saw that the s.p.a.ce Storm had suddenly become unusually wild and violent at this moment. A frightening suction force surged out in all directions from within the storm. Under that suction force, the s.p.a.ce boat speed had swiftly slowed down.

Xiao Yan's eyes turned red upon sensing the speed of the s.p.a.ce boat. If they were to be dragged into the storm again, it was likely that their group could forget about getting a chance to escape.

"Roar!"

A low roar was transmitted from Xiao Yan's throat. Numerous green veins appeared on his face in a ferocious manner, looking just like earthworms. Jade-green Dou Qi wildly poured into the interior of the boat like a flame, causing the speed of the s.p.a.ce boat to increase a little.

The speed of the s.p.a.ce boat had just been increased when the suction force emitted from the storm greatly soared. In an instant, the two ended up in a stalemate. The enormous s.p.a.ce storm was slowly moving toward Xiao Yan's group.

"The speed has already reached its maximum. If this continues, we will be dragged back sooner or later!"

Xiao Yan's eyes turned bright-red. He suddenly turned his head and cried out to Zi Yan, "Come and pour Dou Qi in. Increase its speed."

Zi Yan was shocked by this manner of Xiao Yan. She did not dare to ask any extra questions as she swiftly rushed over. Immediately, her hands were placed on the input point. The energy within her body swiftly surged out.

After Zi Yan replaced him, Xiao Yan shook his shoulders and a pair of enormous bone wings were spread out. The bone wings immediately moved and he flew away from the s.p.a.ce boat in front of Xin Lan's stunned eyes. After which, he landed on the tail of the boat and waved his sleeves. A frightening wind surged out of his sleeve before striking the boat, pus.h.i.+ng the s.p.a.ce boat forward.

The instant Xiao Yan pushed the s.p.a.ce boat, a counter force caused Xiao Yan's body to be momentarily stilled. However, it was fortunate that his reaction was fast. Bright lightning flashed under his feet. The bone wings were flapped wildly under the sound wave of m.u.f.fled thunder, blocking the suction force that was transmitted from behind. His body chased after the s.p.a.ce boat.

The suction force that was transmitted from the s.p.a.ce Storm behind was becoming more and more terrifying. With Zi Yan's strength alone, it was obvious that she had difficulty maintaining the speed, yet the Little Fairy Doctor needed to protect the boat's body. Hence, the s.p.a.ce boat that was being pushed forward showed a sign of moving back.

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"

Xiao Yan's face was flushed red. His veins repeatedly pulsed. The bone wings on his back were flapped and his body once again appeared at the tail of the s.p.a.ce boat. He let out an angry cry as his arms pushed the boat. Wild wind was shot out before violently pus.h.i.+ng the boat. One could see the s.p.a.ce boat transforming into a silver glow that shot out. The next instant, it appeared at the end of the tunnel. Finally, it flashed forward before disappearing within the silver glow…

Xiao Yan heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the s.p.a.ce boat successfully leave. He turned his head slightly and looked at the close storm. The skin on his head involuntarily turned numb. He went all out to flap his bone wings while activating the Three Thousand Lightning Movement to its limit. Numerous afterimages repeatedly appeared. The next instant, the frightening suction force that was transmitted from behind was turned into nothingness…

Xiao Yan had finally approached the exit of the tunnel while fleeing in this crazy manner. Just when he was about to charge out, his skin suddenly felt a chill. His body immediately pounced to the ground instinctively.

"Xiu!"

A ten-foot-large silver-colored Spatial Strength shot past his head like a silver snake. After which, it struck the exit, causing the silver glow to wildly surge.

Xiao Yan suddenly sensed the many times stronger suction force from behind when the silver glow surged. His heart was startled. The bone wings moved, and he used all his strength, transforming into a silver glow that eventually reached the silver glow, signifying the exit of the tunnel…

Xiao Yan's body had just made contact with the silver glow when it suddenly disappeared. With his disappearance, this s.p.a.ce had become void of life once again. Only that enormous s.p.a.ce Storm was still raging, and did not scatter for a long while…

In the middle of a lush, green plain was an open ground filled with rock fragments. The ground in the middle of the open ground was filled with many mysterious seals. These seals were emitting a faint silver glow as they faintly emitted a s.p.a.ce ripple.

The open ground was quite quiet. At a certain instant, a wild wind suddenly appeared out of nowhere. A silver-colored light circle surfaced from the middle of the open ground. The figure of a boat flashed out before swiftly becoming smaller. Finally, it revealed three miserable figures on it.

The silver-colored light circle slowly disappeared as the three people landed.

"Where is Xiao Yan? Why is he not out?"

After landing, the Little Fairy Doctor hurriedly asked. Her heart had suddenly turned cold when she saw that his familiar figure was not with them.

At this moment, Zi Yan had once again turned back into the appearance of a little girl. However, her expression was extremely pale at this moment. Her gem-like eyes stared at the place where the silver-colored light circle had disappeared. There was a faint fog gathering there.

Xin Lan was similarly startled for a moment because of this. However, when she saw the flickering silver colored runes on the ground, she finally sighed in relief. She said, "Relax, big brother Xiao Yan has already successfully exited the s.p.a.ce tunnel…"

"Where is he then?" The Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan had basically opened their mouths at the same time, demanding an answer.

"He has indeed left. However, it seems that the position of the s.p.a.ce tunnel had changed at the last moment. Hence… the current him should have been sent to some other spot in the Central Plains… as for where he is no… I, I don't know either…"

Xin Lan's stammering voice caused the bodies of the other two to slowly stiffen.
