Chapter 363: Chapter 267 Thunder Insect Catastrophe

Half a year later,

In an extremely high and vast layer of the Heavenly Gang atmosphere, the Gang Wind howled. Endless dark clouds spread across the Nine Heavens, filled with countless thunders and electric snakes that continuously rolled and moved, illuminating the dark Cloud Sea and emitting bursts of thunderous roars.

At this moment, a huge disc-shaped Cloud Boat with a diameter of a thousand yards, streamlined and silver in color, struggled to maneuver through the Cloud Sea under the protection of a bright yellow light shield, surrounded on all sides by black thunderstorms.

At that instant, numerous groups of Thunder Light Fireballs erupted on the surface of the Cloud Boat, sending out continuous booming explosion sounds.

The Thunder Clouds, like a sea, had countless sparkles of light varying in brightness. Some were as big as mountains, others as small as water droplets. These were Thunder Light Yunmu, which surged over from all directions like tide waters.

In the control room of the Sea Suppression Cloud Boat’s upper deck, more than ten Vast Sect’s Foundation Establishment Deacons, under the lead of two Golden Core Masters, staunchly defended against the attack of the Thunder Insects.

...

The Thunder Light Yunmu, also known as Self-destructing Thunder Insects, are a type of Thunder-Attribute amphibian demon insects, similar in appearance to jellyfish. The longer they live, the larger they grow, and the more likely they are to self-destruct.

The Thunder Light Yunmu are widely found above the four great oceans within the Heavenly Gang atmosphere, usually harnessing thunder and gathering tides like seas. They only return to the deep seas for a brief period during reproduction.

There are three major disasters in ocean voyages, and the Thunder Light Yunmu tide is the most common one.

Unfortunately, the Sea Suppression Cloud Boat was just chased down by a large swarm of Thunder Light Yunmu on this voyage.

Thus, a fierce battle had erupted half an hour ago and continued until now. The Cloud Boat repeatedly tried to accelerate and escape, but was consistently blocked by the swarm of Thunder Insects.

Boom! Boom!

Thunder Insects, round and bulging with surging thunder inside, rushed ahead of each other to hit the outer wall of the Cloud Boat and exploded violently. For a moment, countless electric snakes moved around, and Thunder Light filled the sky.

The outer defensive shield of the Cloud Boat broke several times and was hastily repaired by the disciples of the Vast Sect.

Now, the silver outer wall of the Cloud Boat was largely scorched black, its surface covered with countless tiny cracks and pits.

Under wave after wave of self-destructive attacks, the people from the Vast Sect gradually showed a tendency to be unable to withstand it.

In the control room, Vast Sect’s Master Yao Fang eyed the surrounding situation, a hint of anxiousness flickering in his eyes.

He exchanged a glance with his junior brother, Feng Hou Daoist, and communicated via Divine Sense, his lips moving slightly.

At this moment before a crystal window in the control room, three exceptionally spirited and imposing Golden Core Masters stood.

“Sigh, there were no issues for half a year. I didn’t expect that as we approached the Shattered Star Sea, we would run straight into a Thunder Light Yunmu tide. This luck… tsk tsk, is just not good!”

“Master Zhao, in your opinion, should we take action later?” the red-haired, yellow-faced Master Jiao Zuo asked, looking towards the silent Zhao Sheng with a smiling expression.

Zhao Sheng observed the battle outside through the crystal window. His view was filled with endless dark clouds and surging Thunder Light, with crazy self-destructing Thunder Light Yunmu everywhere, and even several huge mother creatures, large as mountains, emerging from the depths of the clouds.

Zhao Sheng turned back, pondered for a moment, and asked, “May I know which Nascent Soul Ancestor from the Vast Sect is presiding over this time?”

“Haha! Taoist Zhao, you’re mistaken there. This time there is no Nascent Soul Ancestor presiding, the Vast Sect merely sent two Golden Core Daoists. Just trying to muddle through, but unfortunately, they ran into the Thunder Insects,” another Golden Core Master, Ye Lv, suddenly said with a hint of mockery.

This person wore a white robe and a white hat, with a rather strange appearance. A chilly aura emanated from him, and behind him, a scene of a vast yellow sandstorm raging appeared intermittently.

There are also levels among Golden Core Masters, evident even from the way they are addressed.

The red-haired, yellow-faced Jiao Zuo addressed Zhao Sheng as Master Zhao while Ye Lv referred to him as Taoist Zhao.

The difference between a True Immortal and a Taoist signifies that Jiao Zuo used external objects for pill solidification, whereas Zhao Sheng and Ye Lv were True Golden Cores who solidified their pills naturally.

On such a vast Sea Suppressing Level Cloud Boat, carrying three thousand passengers, there were only three Golden Core passengers in total.

At this time, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators were simply of no use. If sent out, they wouldn’t even have time to counterattack before being left far behind by the Cloud Boat.

The Cloud Boat encountered the disaster of Thunder Insects, making it difficult for Zhao Sheng and others not to intervene!

After listening, Zhao Sheng slightly moved his lips and could not help saying, “Since that’s the case, it seems we cannot just stand by and watch.”

“Hmph, if they want us to risk taking action, let’s see what benefits the Vast Sect can offer,” he said.

“Taoist Jiao speaks rightly,” Master Ye Lv nodded in agreement.@@novelbin@@

“You two aren’t afraid that the Cloud Boat will be destroyed by the Thunder Insects, leaving us also to suffer in the end?” Zhao Sheng curiously asked.

Jiao Zuo laughed: “Haha, Master Zhao may not know, but the Vast Sect has only four Sea Suppressing Level large ships in total. A mere Thunder Light Yunmu tide absolutely cannot destroy such large treasure ships. But causing it severe damage is still possible. Once this ship is overly damaged, affecting intercontinental navigation, the loss to the Vast Sect would be immeasurable.”

Zhao Sheng realized the stakes and began considering what conditions to propose.

Sure enough, just moments later, Feng Hou Daoist and elder Yao Fang came together.

Yao Fang greeted the three with a bow and said with a wry smile, “You have seen the embarrassing situation. Currently, we are deeply trapped in the Thunder Insect Tide and have not been able to escape for a long time. Concerned for the three thousand fellow Daoists, I humbly ask the three of you to lend a hand and help us escape this peril.”

“Haha, well said. As the three of us are in the same boat, naturally, we won’t just stand by. However…”

At this point, Master Ye Lv suddenly transmitted his Divine Sense.

Yao Fang furrowed his brows slightly, then decisively nodded.
