Chapter 517: Union of Heaven and Men? Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by a series of thunders, flashes of lightning whizzed by one after another. Every one of the thunder snakes appeared to link the sea with the sky. The sea roared below, violent winds began to howl, and storms were pouring down. It was such a horrible scene and caused one"s soul to quiver with fear.
More surprisingly, in the heavy storms, a red-haired teenager walked on the sea like a ghost. His face didn"t show any emotion at all. Though his eyes were shut, he didn"t have to look to know where the lightning was striking. He sometimes went to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes to the front, and sometimes to the back. He had such an elegant bearing. Countless thunder snakes split the sky and fell to the ground, but none could hit him.
"Uh…"
Both the Lion Chi Demon Thearch and Jiang Yi didn"t know that an ancient coffin was quietly moving forward under the 33-kilometer deep sea right now. What was even more peculiar was that ancient coffin shimmered with white light and many strange symbols and characters faintly appeared on the coffin. However, many sea demons didn"t show any response as if it was invisible.
Furthermore, some sea demons that were hit by this ancient coffin glanced around in surprise and still couldn"t notice anything peculiar. Though this ancient coffin was traveling under the sea, it never caused any turbulence of the water. It was such a strange scene.
Inside the ancient coffin, there was a maiden. Her purple hair that extended to her waist was unusually beautiful. She was wearing a gorgeous purple dress. Her perfect face without any makeup could infatuate any man in this world. Especially, her black eyes that were as shiny as pearls looked incredibly deep and clever, which made her have an intelligent temperament.
Right now, that maiden"s large eyes were full of wonder. It seemed that she could see the scene above the sea through the 33-kilometer sea water. Her pretty eyes were fixed on Jiang Yi, and the curly eyelashes were flapping. She was full of surprise.
"Is… this the so-called "union of heaven and man"?"
The maiden furrowed her delicate eyebrows and murmured in confusion, "Legend has it that when the union of heaven and man is achieved, the heaven be in harmony with the earth. One can sense everything from heaven and earth. It was the most suitable condition for comprehending dao patterns as well. This strange young man from the Stellarsky Continent even possesses such gifts?!
"No, this is not the union of heaven and man. If the union of heaven and man is indeed reached, this young man doesn"t even have to walk. He can change the direction of the thunderbolts just by his mind. The thunderbolts can"t hit him even if he remains still, and he is able to control the thunderstorm to kill this demon thearch. If this is not the union of heaven and man, what is it…?"
The ancient coffin quietly slowed down. The eyes of the girl with purple hair were lit up with light. She was staring at Jiang Yi. It appeared that she was very curious and wanted to look into it more thoroughly to find out what kind of magical skills Jiang Yi was using.
In fact…!
Jiang Yi himself didn"t know what kind of state he was in. He was also lost. Just now, when he rode on the Yazi Beast, he antic.i.p.ated the timing and direction of the thunderbolts by the glaring of the thunder arch over the cloud, his surrounding situation, and his instinctive warning.
At that moment, all his energy was concentrated in one place. Perhaps that was why he entered a strange state. He seemed to become an integral part of heaven and earth. He was the heaven and earth, and heaven and earth was him. He could easily feel the turbulence in heaven and earth and swiftly make judgments to avoid the lightning.
He was in a state that he forgot about his own ident.i.ty. All he cared about was crossing this Thunder Sea. His soul spirit was attracted by the thunderstorm. He forgot where he was and the demon thearch behind him. He forgot about everything. The thunder in the sky was the only thing left in his world.
Just like this, he speedily crossed the Thunder Sea like a nimble fox.
The Lion Chi Demon Thearch that followed him was wretched. If he was at the periphery of the thunderstorm region, he could avoid easily. However, there were too many thunderbolts in the center; he was almost hit many times. He might be dead by now if not for his mighty strength. Despite this, he was covered with dust and appeared disheartened.
When seeing that Jiang Yi was getting further and further away, the demon thearch was furious; but he didn"t dare to act recklessly. Though the thunderbolts couldn"t kill him, his skin would at least peel if he was. .h.i.t. How could he chase after Jiang Yi by that time?
Jiang Yi was not too fast or too slow, but he kept on going forward. Though the demon thearch was fast, he had to stop from time to time. He even had to suddenly move back or take a detour sometimes. Therefore, the distance between the two was getting larger and larger. After five minutes, the demon thearch could no longer see Jiang Yi and had to use his divine senses to locate Jiang Yi.
The Thunder Sea was very big. It would take the demon thearch one hour to fly across it at his full speed. If the current situation continued, Jiang Yi would soon be out of the Thunder Sea. However, the demon thearch was not too worried as he had already fixed on Jiang Yi"s aura. With Jiang Yi"s speed, even if the demon thearch rested for half a day now, he would still be able to find Jiang Yi and catch up with him easily.
After one hour!
Jiang Yi was out of the center of the Thunder Sea. The number of thunderstorms in front of him became smaller. He sped up a bit. Jiang Yi didn"t even need to dodge deliberately; he was just not going straight. Sometimes, he went left; sometimes, he went right. His route was erratic.
After two hours, Jiang Yi was finally out of the Thunder Sea.
At this moment, he automatically got out of that strange state he experienced just now. He glanced at his surroundings perplexedly. For a moment, he forgot where he was and what just happened.
"Wow!"
Just at this moment, the sea water split up automatically, revealing an ancient coffin. White light glowed on the ancient coffin, and the faint characters and symbols on the coffin appeared indistinctively. Just like the situation just now, Jiang Yi couldn"t see the ancient coffin at all; and the demon thearch behind him couldn"t detect its presence either.
Buzz!
The ancient coffin flew quietly and stayed beside Jiang Yi. A hand that was as smooth as white jade came out of the coffin and pulled Jiang Yi inside with a speed of lightning.
Jiang Yi was at a loss just now and didn"t feel any sign of warning. Thus, he only woke up to his senses until his body was pulled by someone.
Immediately, he was about the release the Ma.s.sacre Intent, and the Fire Spirit Pearl on his hand lit up as well. However, a cold voice made him stop. "If you wish to die, move as you please. I"m not going to do anything when the demon thearch comes."
"Uh…"
Jiang Yi suddenly woke up. He scanned the surroundings, but he was shocked by what he saw!
Right now, he was in a narrow s.p.a.ce. It was like a small boat, and a girl was on the boat. She wore a purple long robe and had purple hair that reached her waist. However, this girl was wearing a mask. Jiang Yi could only saw her eyes which were as deep as the ocean. Her eyes were so fascinating that Jiang Yi was bewitched by just one look.
The strange thing was…
Jiang Yi was clearly dragged into an ancient coffin, but when he looked from the inside, he felt that he was inside a small boat. The boat was covered with a milky white shield and was rapidly sailing to the east.
Boom!
At this time, a thunderbolt from the sky struck right at this ancient coffin. Jiang Yi was startled by the lightning; instinctively, he wanted to instant-shift out. However, that maiden spoke again, "Don"t move, you"re safe in this magical coffin. Even the demon thearch can"t hurt you, but if you move indiscreetly, I"ll toss you out."
