Chapter 569: Crossing the Storm Sea

The deep blue seawater surged with waves, declaring the endless power of this sea area.

Over the long years of the past, let alone humans, even large creatures from the seabed would not approach this deep-sea region.

There was no other reason; this sea area had been polluted.

A thousand years ago, the Storm Demon King Bagdana fell here; the terrifying energy of his body and his surging, violent mental power dissipated here, and under the guidance of the Nightmare Evil King in the dark, it isolated the entire Xinyue Continent.

Since then, the Star Continent and the Xinyue Continent had severed all contact.

At the beginning, perhaps both sides had people who wanted to cross this ocean, but after failing too many times and too many people dying, they eventually had to give up.

When the Star Continent was renamed Aoerlante and its history and civilization suffered a break, the Xinyue Continent on the other side of the Storm Sea was gradually forgotten by people.

At this very moment, strange visitors had arrived here.

More than twenty steel warships arranged in a triangle slowly sailed into this sea area; this was an army from the Star Empire.

"This is the Storm Sea!"

Suofeiya took a deep breath, as if wanting to smell a hint of a familiar scent from it.

Feeling nervous as she neared home, she and Aini Lu and the others had not rested well recently, constantly thinking of their homeland.

"At our speed, after crossing this sea area, we will be able to reach the Xinyue Continent in another four or five days of sailing."

Luoning looked toward the sea ahead.

After becoming a Great Sage, Transcendental can obtain two types of abilities: Elemental Vision and Elemental Domain.

Among them, Elemental Vision allows him to view this world from a purely elemental perspective.

At this moment, Luoning used Elemental Vision and could clearly see the special dark energy rising on the sea surface ahead.

This was the Nightmare Evil Power that had been infecting this sea area for these years.

According to Luoning's observation, although its power was in a state of decay, the speed of this decay was too slow; he estimated that in another hundred years, a Great Archmage would be able to cross it easily.

"Tangmu, go notify Aierlong to have him prepare; we will begin crossing the Storm Sea in thirty minutes."

"Yes, His Majesty!"

Tangmu nimbly mounted a Griffin and flew toward the warship where Aierlong was located.

Half an hour later, a warm stream of light enveloped all the ships; this powerful mental-level Magic could protect everyone on the ships from the interference of the Storm Sea.

The warships increased their horsepower at this moment and simultaneously activated Magic Energy supercharging, increasing their speed by another large margin.

The Nightmare Evil Power on the Storm Sea began to surge; it seemed to have consciousness, constantly searching for gaps to drill into the light shield, attempting to erode people's bodies and minds.

But Aierlong's powerful mental Magic protected the ships tightly, giving it no opportunity.

Whoosh—

A giant wave dozens of meters high suddenly rose in front.

Luoning raised his hand and pressed down into the void; his powerful Mental Power mobilized the surrounding Elemental Power, forcefully pressing the giant wave down.

Seeing this scene, Suofeiya felt deeply moved.

When they came, it was incomparably difficult, and they lost many companions along the way.

Now on the return journey, it was so easy.

An hour later, the ships successfully crossed the Storm Sea; this moment was like passing through layers of Miwu, the sky was no longer gloomy, and the field of vision opened up.

Aierlong flew over.

"His Majesty, I sense the surging power on the seabed. Perhaps if given time, I could purify it."

Hearing this, Suofeiya and the others were stirred with excitement.

"This is a good thing."

Luoning said with a smile, but his tone shifted: "When the time is ripe, we can give it a try."

Purifying this power could indeed facilitate communication between the Star Empire and the City of Dawn, but the alien races on the Xinyue Continent would also have more opportunities to reach the Star Continent, bringing endless trouble to that side.

Now that Luoning had transferred most of his elite forces over, he did not want any disaster to occur at home.

If the demon scourge were eliminated one day in the future, then the matter of purifying the Storm Sea could be considered.

"Suofeiya, have Peiteluo find the right direction; we are heading straight for Soul Suppressing Bay."

"Alright, no problem!"

Peiteluo was skilled in navigation; when they originally crossed the ocean to reach Wubei Territory, it was he who operated the ships.

As for Soul Suppressing Bay...

This location was at the edge of Shuguang Senlin; the port where the two continents traded with each other more than a thousand years ago was located here.

But now, Soul Suppressing Bay had already been occupied by the subordinate of the Nightmare Evil King, namely the master of Mofisite, the Shadow Lord Salonas.

Originally, Luoning and the others planned to bypass Soul Suppressing Bay and sail upstream from the mouth of the Taianruiya, the mother river of the City of Dawn, but the situation on the Xinyue Continent made Luoning make this decision to pull the firewood from under the cauldron.

Ever since Luoning became a Great Sage, his Mental Power could span the ocean to investigate the Xinyue Continent.

He learned the city layout of the Xinyue Continent from Suofeiya, and after many attempts, he finally established contact with the leader of the City of Dawn, Lian Siers.

He remembered that at that time, when Luoning manipulated fire elements to condense the word "Hello" in front of Lian, the other party had already assumed a defensive posture.

And now, the two had become "pen pals."

It was precisely from Lian that Luoning learned the situation on the Xinyue Continent; the demon race had begun to move frequently twelve years ago, and the intensity of their attacks had become even greater recently.

Just as Luoning set off, Salonas at Soul Suppressing Bay had already united with Phoenix to control Bolte Town and Katage Zhen, thereby controlling the estuary of the Taianruiya River.

This town was not like the towns of the Star Continent; the scale of the towns here was very large, with a population of hundreds of thousands alone.

Salonas took the two towns and controlled the estuary between them, so the path Luoning had previously planned to take was no longer viable.

Thus, a direct assault became an optional method.

As for why he chose to directly raid the base camp of Salonas, it was because the other party had transferred most of their troops to expand their war results, leaving only a small force to guard Soul Suppressing Bay.

With Luoning's strength and troops, it was enough to take Soul Suppressing Bay.

Of course, taking it did not mean controlling it.

At that time, Ryan will coordinate with Luoning to launch an attack, take back Bolte Town on the side near Soul Suppressing Bay, and cooperate to control this area.

Although this approach seems a bit risky, it is the best choice at the moment.

With so many warships sailing on the sea, if they do not land early, they will sooner or later be discovered by Salonas or other members of the alien races, and the situation will become passive at that time.

What's more, Soul Suppressing Bay is currently weakly guarded; leaving the Legendary and Sun Level Witch Soul Knights for Maiken and the others to handle will suffice, and Luoning, Ruidar, and the others will not need to take action.

Luoning slowly closed his eyes, and his Mental Power radiated out, crossing this ocean at an extremely fast speed to arrive at the City of Dawn.

In a dreamlike space rich in energy on the side of the City of Dawn, Lian Siers, one of the human leaders, sensed this Mental Power.

He opened his eyes and laughed aloud: "You have come again, my friend!"

Ryan originally wanted to follow the direction of the Mental Power to trace back Luoning's location, so as to facilitate communication.

However, before he could find Luoning, he saw the Elemental Power in the space before him fluctuate, and complex Spell Patterns were formed in one go; immediately after, Luoning appeared there.

Ryan naturally knew this was the Clone Shadow Technique, but he did not expect that Luoning could actually use a Jiu Ji Moha from such Along distance.

Luoning looked at this big-bellied, round-faced, white-haired old man before him; he did not expect the leader of the City of Dawn to look like this.

He sat down and said with a smile: "Being closer, I can barely use this magic; this is much more convenient than both of us condensing Elemental Power in front of each other to form words."

Ryan still couldn't help but exclaim: "Even so, that should be at least several thousand miles away; your Mental Power is even more powerful than I imagined!"

He secretly weighed it in his heart; casting the Clone Shadow Technique from such a distance would be somewhat difficult for him to do.

He couldn't help but size up Luoning's clone; if the appearance of the other party's true body was also like this, then he should be a young man.

A young man, actually stronger than him?

"Where are you now?"

Ryan asked: "Currently, Salonas and the others are launching attacks on our third and fourth towns, and the next great battle will break out within these two days."

He said in a deep voice: "In addition, energy riots in Fangzhu Zhi Di have been occurring abnormally frequently recently; I suspect that the King of Nightmare Demons sealed by our predecessors should have the ability to break free from its shackles."

During the great battle a thousand years ago, although the human side sacrificed many powerhouses, they ultimately only sealed the King of Nightmare Demons in an extremely weakened state and did not have the ability to completely kill the other party.

Over these years, the King of Nightmare Demons has relied on absorbing residual power and letting its servants spread out to gather apostles to regain strength, and it has now grown strong.

With the help of the sealing power, it is relatively easy to kill it. If one waits for it to actively break through the seal, then it will be much more troublesome to deal with.

Luoning nodded and said: "We have already crossed the Storm Sea and are now sailing in the direction of Soul Suppressing Bay. At full speed, we will be able to arrive in about three days."

Ryan couldn't help but be surprised, "So fast?"

The City of Dawn has a complete civilization heritage, and as a leader, Ryan knows the distance between the Xinyue Continent and the Star Continent.

According to his estimation, it was impossible for Luoning and the others to cross the Storm Sea so quickly. After all, it is not very practical to always use Magic Crystals as power.

He did not expect that Luoning's ships had Steam Power.

"This is great, Luoning, you have come at just the right time!"

After the surprise, Ryan recovered, and intense fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

"These damned demons, it is time to give them a taste of their own medicine!" (End of chapter)
