Chapter 1411 The Advent of a Crisis
The atmosphere in the warship was relaxed. With a dish, Bu Fang had boosted his companions’ moods, and they, who were a little sad for leaving the Netherworld, were much cheerful now.
Only the fish’s head and a bit of aromatic broth were left on the dining table—the flesh covered with distiller’s grains was gone. The dishes cooked by Bu Fang now were certainly delicious, and they even contained special functions.
After eating the fish, the crowd could feel the boiling auras in them. If they calmed down and meditated now, they could even acquire significant improvements in their cultivation bases.
It was worth noting that among those present, the weakest ones were Nine-revolution Great Saints, and it would be very difficult for them to improve their cultivation bases. However, Bu Fang’s dishes could help them, which was no less than a miracle.
After cleaning the table, Bu Fang sat quietly in the cabin, looking at the dream-like array outside. That was the cosmic transport array Mu Hongzi mentioned. Through it, they could reach the great world where the Xiayi Divine Dynasty was located. It could save them a significant amount of time. Without it, they had to fly to their destination with the warship, which would take a very long time. After all, the distance between great worlds was too far.
In the cabin, everyone was chatting enthusiastically about the Lees Fish. Their faces beamed with joy, and from time to time, they licked their lips to savor the taste.
The warship sped through the starry sky, leaving behind a plume of white smoke as it headed toward the array.
“Look! We’re about to reach the array!” Er Ha cried out excitedly, pressing his face against the window. His eyes were bright as he stared curiously and admiringly at the dream-like array outside.
The array was huge, flashing beautifully with a silvery-white light in the starry sky like a star, attracting all eyes. As Er Ha watched, spellbound, a dark figure suddenly appeared from a distance, approached in a flash, and slammed onto the window with a thud, scaring him. The spicy strip dangling in his lips nearly fell to the floor.
“What is this?!” Er Ha sucked in a cold breath, and his pupils constricted. Then, to his horror, he found that what slammed onto the window was actually a skeleton palm. The bones were full of cracks as if they had been chewed by some monster.
Bu Fang and the others turned to look at him, attracted by his cry, but a gust of wind suddenly blew the palm away.
“Is that a skeleton palm? It’s so scary that I almost dropped my spicy strip…” Er Ha said with lingering fear.
“The boundless starry sky is the battlefield of Great Saints and above. Isn’t it normal to have bones here? After all, Great Saints or Gods often fight and kill each other here,” Lord Dog said lazily. He despised Er Ha for making a mountain out of a molehill.
“But…” Er Ha hesitated. The palm didn’t look like one that had been rotted for a long time, for he saw that there were still strings of flesh and blood clinging to the bone. It felt a little strange, but since everyone around him thought that that was perfectly normal, he kept the doubt to himself.
The warship rumbled and sped forward, moving like a stream of light. A short while later, it landed at the center of the array.
The transport array was carved on a huge disk-shaped meteorite. The bright light of the array had concealed the meteorite, so when looking from a distance, it gave people an impression that the array was embedded in the starry sky.
The crowd walked out of the warship and stepped on the glowing array. It seemed a little old and shabby and was emanating an ancient aura.
Bu Fang put away the warship. They would need to use it later when traveling through the void.
“Didn’t that sissy say the array is guarded by someone, and we just need to contact that person to use it? But… Where is that man?” Er Ha looked puzzled and confused. He glanced around. The array was empty with no signs of life.
Bu Fang thought it was a little strange as well. Eventually, he fixed his eyes at the center of the array, where the ball-shaped object was beating like a heart. He thought it was somewhat out of place.
“Found it!”
Lord Dog’s magnetic voice rang out in the distance. The crowd went up to him and saw the star chart drawn on the array, which showed the destination.
“Since no one is here, we can only activate this array ourselves to leave here,” Lord Dog said. After that, his paw began to glow goldenly. It was his divine ability, the Golden Dog Paw.
The paw fell and lightly slapped the array. In an instant, a rumbling sound rang out while beams of light shot up into the sky from the array and formed a huge arched door in midair. It was full of mysterious power, and without a doubt, the entrance to the void traveling.
Bu Fang produced the warship and called everyone over. They boarded the ship with excitement, activated it, and rushed into the arched door.
They failed to notice something. Just as they went into the array, the surface of the ball-shaped object beating like a heart suddenly cracked. Slime trickled down from it like blood as a scarlet eyeball emerged over the object, rolling rapidly. Then, the whole thing broke apart, and a blood-red figure with one eye crawled out of it.
The figure rolled its eye and rested it on the warship, which was sailing into the arched door. Tentacles emerged from behind it. The next moment, it vanished, while the arched door also began to slowly disappear. At the last moment, before the door faded away, the blood-red figure squeezed through it…
…
Even the most comfortable warship suffered when traveling through the void. The tearing and ripping force of such travels was very powerful, and no ordinary people could withstand it. But the quality of Mu Hongzi’s warship was good, so it was not torn into pieces by the force.
Those things outside the window were disappearing rapidly, turning into streams of light. There was no question that they were traveling through the void now.
Bu Fang could feel that they were moving away from the Great Netherworld. The connection between them was getting weaker and weaker, almost completely cut off. He was really leaving this time!
He sat beside the window, sipping a cup of steaming Nine Revolution Great Path Tea and looking at the scene outside. He saw stars, meteorites, black holes… Many breathtaking scenes in the cosmos were moving back at great speed, and he admired them like a traveler.
Suddenly, Bu Fang heard a thud, then his pupils constricted, and his hair stood on end. He saw a black clump hit and clung onto the window, which was instantly cracked with countless lines.
“Hmm?” Bu Fang furrowed his brows.
The next moment, the black clump opened one eye, which was filled with violence and killing intent. A terrible, brutal aura instantly spread from it.
Everyone in the cabin tensed up instantly. Even Lord Dog, who was sleeping on the floor, jerked his head up as he sensed the terrible killing intent.
“What is this thing?!”
Er Ha was astonished as he stared at the eye. Then, as if that was not creepy enough, the eyeball began to move from side to side with slime oozing out of it, seemingly targeting all the people in the cabin.
Finally, the figure opened its mouth and let out a blood-curdling shriek.
Rumble!
The warship began to shake violently. That took Bu Fang and the others aback. They looked up and saw the walls of the ship already covered with cracks. The next moment, tentacles squeezed through these cracks and shot toward them.
A terrible aura filled the air, and it was not weaker than that of a God! What kind of creature was this? How did it come into the passage of void traveling? Bu Fang sucked in a cold breath and felt incredulous.
Finally, the whole warship broke apart, and the terrible tearing force of the void traveling instantly erupted. At this moment, the horrible figure hovering in the passage let out a sharp laugh, turned into a stream of light, and sped toward Bu Fang and his companions!
A deadly crisis had struck!
