621 Demonstration of Strength (1/2)
This was a pretty knotty issue.
Yu Taixuan's face burned with embarrassment. Moments earlier he had been bragging to the crowd about how fantastic his ship was with all its wonderful functions. But in the blink of an eye, an accident had occurred and all of them had been carried into the space-time torrents. As people often said, retribution in this life comes quickly. Now that his boasts were proven wrong, he felt like he had been smacked in the face.
Fortunately, this Seven-color Warship had a Highest Heaven Space in it. Thus, no matter how violently this warship was heaving around, they would not feel the bumps in the Highest Heaven Space, which at least secured a little dignity for Yu Taixuan.
However, even though this ship was a Medium-grade Highest Heaven Celestial Device, the protective seven-color light around it was still bearing immense pressure from the space-time torrents. In space-time torrents, there were not only high waves of space-time torrents, but also infinite space-time storms. These space-time storms and space-time torrents had different strengths, but when they came together, even the Highest Heaven Celestial Device was overwhelmed by their combined power.
”Crap, we've been carried to an unknown space-time!”
After enduring a series of violent vibrations, the Seven-color Warship was sucked into a strange space-time. Storms died down, torrents ebbed away, but their situation was not very much improved.
This was because the strange space was full of meteorites. Huge meteorites were flying through this space at high speed. Looking from a distance, all you could see were these rapidly flying stones. These stones were made of unknown substances, and the smallest of them was about one thousand feet in diameter while the largest one even reached a few thousand feet in size and looked like a whole continent.
Vibration, faint vibrations!
There were no fixed patterns for the movements of these flying meteorites in this space-time. They were just zooming around and colliding with each other. Every few seconds there were some meteorite collisions happening, which were similar to the normal meteorite collisions. However, given that every second, there would be some meteorites crashing into each other, the energy they produced was sufficient to impact the entire space-time, which was in a vibrational state from the collisions.
The Seven-color Warship had preliminarily steadied herself, but sailing across this meteorite-filled world was not safe. Every now and then, a meteorite would bump into the ship. But thanks to the fact that this Seven-color Warship was a Highest Heaven Celestial Device and its dimensions was quite streamlined, it finally managed to navigate through the gaps of the numerous meteorites. At the same time, the defensive power of this warship was good. Once a meteorite hit the warship, it would bounce off due to the seven-color light. Therefore, the warship was not severely affected by those meteorites.
Nevertheless, all these features were only effective in the beginning. Although this Highest Heaven Celestial Device could slip through cracks between meteorites easily, it was inevitable that it would be hit. After enduring several hundred collisions, the seven-color light around this warship gradually dimmed.
”We can't let this go on anymore! Though the Golden Embroidered Warship is a Medium-grade Highest Heaven Celestial Device, it will not last for long if it gets hit so frequently by those meteorites. We must come up with something else!” Facing the myriad of attacks from the meteorites, Yu Taixuan's face was already a bit pale.
”Didn't you say your ship could do hollow travels? If so, why do we have to stay in this space-time?” Hierarch Huan Ri, the ancestor of Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple, asked, in bewilderment.
”The first collision was too severe. From that time the warship was already damaged. This, together with other factors from the space-time torrents has disabled the Golden Embroidered Warship's ability to do hollow travels for now!”
”It can't be! Is this Highest Heaven Celestial Device another defective product of your Divine Wind Palace?” Zhou Bao let out a mournful howl, his face thoroughly gloomy. ”So it was with the Void Traveller I rode last time. It almost caused us to fall into the Sea Area. But this time, it's even worse. You are making us drift around in this endless space-time on purpose, aren't you?”
His expression was a little too dramatic, and it was very inconsiderate of him to rake up the past incident of Divine Wind Palace in front of all these people. If it were some else who had made this remark, Yu Taixu would have instantly cut him off. But seeing Zhou Bao's aggressive appearance, Yu Taixu's eyes merely twitched for a few seconds and he remained silent.
Yu Taixu had gained quite a comprehensive knowledge about the combat capability of Zhou Bao through various avenues. In particular, the power of the two hammers hanging from his hips that Zhou Bao had used in the Infinite Star Sea battle, and his attack on the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain and throwing out their Mountain Master were all telling Yu Taixu that the combat capability of Zhou Bao was not inferior to his anymore.
It was hard for Yu Taixu to accept this, but it also made him reluctantly tolerate certain kind of behaviors from Zhou Bao. Otherwise, if Zhou Bao was angry and started a fight, Divine Wind Palace would have to pay a high price and even if they won, this would, in turn, allow others to attain some benefits.
Hence, Yu Taixu made a huge effort to stifle his anger and kept quiet. Then, he shot a meaningful look at Yu Taixuan.
”King Wuyang, no need to worry. Just some small malfunction, I'll soon fix them. But before that, this ship is unable to take anymore heavy blows, so...”
