Chapter 413: The Power of the Void Traveller
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
When compared to the Seven-deity Regions, the Sea Area’s land area was many times bigger. Even though it had been divided by the Seven-deity Regions, it was still under the jurisdiction of the Sea Emperor.
However, in reality, the Sea Emperor played a very minor role in the governing of the Sea Area. He did not bother with any of their important issues and also did not make any appearances at any of their events. For several years, the experts of the Sea Area came and went in batches. Very few of them had ever seen the Sea Emperor. It could be said that the Sea Emperor held the highest and also the least influence on the endless sea. He simply did not care about them.
For tens of thousands of years, it had always been the law of the jungle that all kinds of chasing and killing should fall on the first day. But no matter how serious or how minor the situation was, the Sea Emperor had always expressed no interest at all in intervening. In the Sea Area, power and authority overruled all things.
Be it based on strength or authority, to Seven-deity Regions, there had never been any character who was invincible, in the Sea Area. Experts and powerful characters came and divided the vast sea into countless small areas to gain control over them. Within each area, everyone eyed each other’s territories covetously, no matter if it was a large or small area. After hundreds of thousands of years, the system was complete and in place already. When compared to the Seven-deity Regions, this was much more complicated.
The evil beasts of the Sea Area resided within 10,000 miles from the borders of Seven-deity Regions. They had minimal power and this was the sole reason they refrained from attacking humans. Hence, humans could still fish and sail in the waters without fear.
In a place like Borderline Mountain where the huge mountains were connected to the endless seas, the evil beasts from the mountains had a close relations.h.i.+p with those from the seas. They went to war together. This close tie was something that even the biggest sects of Seven-deity Regions could not figure out.
For the past tens of thousands of years, there had been no interactions between the Seven-deity Regions and the Sea Area. But some influences within had secret liaisons with each other. These included well-known families like the Great Jin, schools, and even the Immortal Palace. They all had connections with the Chaotian Palace of the East Sea, which was currently controlled by the Sea Area.
This time, several giant sects of the Four Eastern Regions had come together to kill Ye Qingtian. Their influence was not only in the Seven-deity Regions, but also on the evil beasts in the Sea Area.
In fact, a few months ago, some influential characters of the Sea Area discovered that Zhou Bao and his team were going to cross the sea from Borderline Mountain. They then went to the location to lie in wait for them.
There were not many people in the group, only about 17. Among them, there was no expert from Metaphysic Individual Immortal fairyland, but together, their total strength was still quite intimidating!
Quite a few carried Pure Yang Celestial Devices, and one might have even possessed a magic weapon!
Magic weapon!
Even though there were countless treasures from heaven and earth to be found in the endless sea, Pure Yang Celestial Devices were very rare, let alone a fairy weapon. Their numbers, power, and net worth made them most potential targets of robbers. It would truly be a legendary catch!
That’s right, the best catch!
Zhou Bao was not aware that his team had already become the target of many influential characters of Sea Area. Their Void Traveller was still speeding rapidly across the sea.
The Void Traveller was a Pure Yang Celestial Device, it could fly up to 50,000 feet!
It was merely a Void Traveller. Even for experts equipped with the lost skill of flying, 50,000 feet was the limit. If they went above the limit, they would encounter the Gang Wind.
Even a Genuine Immortal could not fly in the Gang Wind. The violent wind was able to reduce the Genuine Immortal into ashes in the blink of an eye.
And going further up to 100,000 feet, would be out of the question for a Genuine Immortal.
Hence, 50,000 feet was the safest alt.i.tude for a Void Traveller to travel at.
It was also the safest distance for crossing the sea.
The Void Traveller was more than a thousand feet long. But in the infinite sky, it was merely a small vessel, really insignificant. Without its power, it would go unnoticed.
The journey was expected to last three days and three nights. Half a day had pa.s.sed and the Void Traveller had yet to meet any hindrances or anything unusual. There were not that many evil beasts that could reach the level of 50,000 feet. Hence, Zhou Bao and Yu Nantian were rea.s.sured.
The sky was overcast and gloomy. Zhou Bao looked out of the window and thought about his wife. She was three to four months pregnant but he had run off instead of staying by her side. He did not know when he would return to Wuyang Region. If this matter was not settled soon, his child would be walking and running by the time he returned. He was lost in his thoughts when suddenly a gust of wind came up.
“Eh?” Zhou Bao was very alert. He could smell a faint stench in the wind. There should not be any stench at 50,000 feet above the ground. Suddenly he thought of something and moved back, closing all the wooden windows. In a flash, he reappeared in front of his room, carefully a.s.sessing the situation outside. Apparently, he was not the only one who noticed that something was amiss. Initially, there were sounds coming from the different rooms, but now there was a dead silence. Zhou Bao could imagine that every expert on the Void Traveller was holding their breaths, and worrying about the situation, much like himself.
As time pa.s.sed, the stench became stronger. At the same time, a golden ray suddenly lit up the whole Void Traveller. A Pure Yang swept across and blew away the smell of the stench. But at this instant, the Void Traveller went from traveling at very high speed to slow down to a complete standstill. The air inside vibrated with great force but fortunately, no one was affected as the Void Traveller was totally shrouded by the golden light.
Later, the six experts of Divine Wind Palace went up onto the deck. They were led by Yu Nantian who asked, “Where did you come from and why are you hiding? Since you’re here, come out and show yourself!”
“Lololololo, what an interesting fella. This is a Void Traveller right, it has been so long since I saw one, I miss this!” A sinister laughter was heard reverberating all around. It was not loud, but it resounded continuously in everyone’s ears and mind. Among the 17 people, the weaker ones showed signs of being affected by the noise, their faces turning pale. If the voice should reappear, there was no telling how their spirits would be adversely affected.
“Hmm, attacking while in hiding, not what I expect of an expert!” Yu Nantian’s expression changed and his magnificent robe fluttered slightly. The unusual sound still lingered, but the frightening effect was gone. “Since you can recognize the Void Traveller, then you should know who I am. You should also know that using the voice spell will not work!”
“Hahahahahahaha, good, very well, fella. I can tell that you are a part of the Yu family. So many years have pa.s.sed; who would have thought that the son of the Yu family would still dare to cross the Sea Area. Are you really not afraid of meeting your doom?!” Following a burst of laughter, a cloud of black shadow suddenly appeared in front of the Void Traveller.
The black shadow was that of a man. He was a sinister looking old man, dressed in a black robe. He was hovering in the air and glaring darkly at Yu Nantian. In his eyes, an evil intent could be seen. “A part of the Yu family, a son of the Yu family, a useless kid. How dare you fly over the endless Sea Area, aren’t you really sick and tired of the sea?”
“Hu Bugui?! You are still alive?”
Recognizing the old man, Yu Nantian was both shocked and surprised.
“Who would have thought that someone from the Yu family still remembers me. As long as your family is around, how could I die!?”
“Hmm, no, I did not die. I escaped to the Sea Area and formed an alliance with the evil beasts and led an utterly miserable life. Sometimes it is better to be dead than alive!”
“You will soon know what is the difference between being alive and dead!” Hu Bugui laughed coldly, and with a wave of a hand, five black Qi shot out from his fingertips. Coiling and writhing like snakes, they shot towards Yu Nantian.
“So many years have pa.s.sed and you are still performing this trick. Do you really think you can scare people off by doing this?!” Seeing the snakes, Yu Nantian only laughed coldly, not at all bothered by them. He did not even budge. The snakes were destroyed by the golden light from the Void Traveller, even before they could get near him.
“Since you know this is the Void Traveller, why are you still using this type of weapon?” Yu Nantian saw the destruction of the snakes and his expression grew even sterner, “Hu Bugui, I know you are a schemer, but it will be impossible for you to try any new tricks in front of me!”
As he spoke, he struck the side of the s.h.i.+p violently. The Void Traveller rocked for a short while, sending streams of golden light rays towards Hu Bugui.
“No way, he is using the cannon?!” Zhou Bao shouted. The s.h.i.+p was very large and s.p.a.cious, but he never thought that anyone would have a cannon on board. He could hear loud gunshots and saw a golden light shooting across. That must have been a really big cannon.
The double rays of golden light were not lethal enough. The black shadow was like a virtual-like image and the golden light shone through his body. His body vanished as if he had not existed at all.
“Lolololo, this is indeed the true Void Traveller. The Yu family is actually willing to let you use this to cross the sea, it seems like they are actually delivering the goods into my hands!” He laughed again, and suddenly with a violent twist, his black robe swung towards the Void Traveller. It was not a big item, but when it was near the traveler, it suddenly stretched into thousands of feet in width and length, and totally covered the whole Void Traveller.
Zhou Bao realized that it had suddenly become very dark. Soon, his legs started to tremble violently. The Void Traveller had just been totally wrapped up in the strange black robe.
“Heaven and Earth in Sleeves?!” Zhou Bao tensed. This feeling reminded him of a very famous Divine Sense. The Heaven and Earth in Sleeves is a Divine Sense from the Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain!
