In a pitch-black sea, the seawater appeared to be an eerie shade of purple. It stretched as far as the eye could see.
In the vast sea, even when there was no wind, three-foot waves would rise. At this moment, the wind on the sea was quite strong. Huge waves were set off, and the sound of galloping horses could be heard.
The sky was filled with dark clouds. They looked thick and dense, and they were only sixty to seventy feet above the sea.
The waves were so high that they seemed to touch the dark clouds in the sky.
From time to time, thick bolts of lightning would shoot out from the thick clouds, illuminating the nearby sea and producing loud rumbling sounds.
The sea looked like it was doomsday.
This was the famous Thunderstorm Sea of the North Sea Celestial Realm.
Rumble!
Another thick bolt of lightning appeared, tearing apart the dark sea surface.
Under the dark clouds in the distance, a huge shadow appeared and flew over at an incomparably fast speed. It was a giant dark purple ship that was hundreds of meters long and dozens of meters tall. It broke through the wind and waves as it moved forward at high speed.
The whole ship seemed to be made of a kind of wood. However, this wood was obviously not ordinary. It had a metallic texture and looked very sturdy.
The body of the ship was covered with runes that shone with purple light. The most peculiar thing was that the surface of the ship was coated with a layer of crystal clear film.
Although the giant purple ship flew as low as possible, it was still affected by the rolling thunder and lightning in the clouds.
However, the powerful thunder and lightning were immediately bounced off when they hit the film on the ship. The film didn't even tremble. It was as stable as a mountain.
There were many independent rooms in the ship. It seemed to be a passenger ship. Each room had a window that led to the outside. Standing by the window, one could clearly see what was happening outside.
"I've long heard that the Thunderstorm Sea is known as the Land of Absolute Thunder and Lightning.
It is indeed a well-deserved reputation. "In one of the rooms on the ship, a plump Youth with a pale face stood by the window. He looked at the huge bolts of lightning that tore the sky apart.
Behind the Youth, a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion was sitting cross-legged. He was also looking out of the window. He nodded slightly and said, "Such a dangerous scene is indeed rare."
The man was Han Li.
"That's right. Brother Li, you don't know this, but my family is surrounded by mountains and the climate is dry. There isn't even a single rain all year round. It's so annoying," the chubby Youth said excitedly.
When Han Li heard this, he only smiled and didn't reply.
The chubby Youth was called Sun Ke, and he was a Spatial Tempering Stage cultivator. According to him, he was the Young Master of a powerful family on the Wasteland Continent, and the two of them had gotten to know each other more than a month ago.
At that time, Han Li was in the market of Thunder City. He found a remote inn to wait for the Thunder Boat to set sail. But the night before the Thunder Boat set sail, he encountered Sun Ke, who was also staying at the inn, and was being chased.
He didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but the pursuer was at the Body Integration Stage, and in order to fool others, he planned to slaughter everyone in the inn.
Upon seeing this, Han Li immediately slew his opponent with a wave of his hand.
Sun Ke was very grateful to Han Li for saving his life. The two of them met again at the Thunder Boat Dock the next day. Sun Ke was also going to the Ancient Cloud Continent, so he immediately tried to get close to Han Li.
He claimed that he was out traveling, and that the person who was chasing him was an elder in the clan. He had been ordered by the clan leader to protect him, but in the end, he was bribed by a half-brother of the clan, who intended to assassinate him on the way without anyone noticing.
Fortunately, he found out in time, and with the protection of several Men of Sacrifice, he escaped all the way to this place.
On the way, he also learned that there seemed to be a big change in the family. In short, he couldn't go back now.
Therefore, in order to avoid the limelight, he planned to leave the Wasteland Continent.
As Han Li conversed with him, he discovered that he was quite knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy reading jade slips that contained all sorts of miscellaneous knowledge. As such, Han Li decided to take advantage of the situation and travel with him.
After all, since returning to the Immortal World, he had been living in the Black Wind Sea for a long time, so he was still lacking in some knowledge and experience of the Immortal World.
Sun Ke had read a lot of official and unofficial history, and his mind was full of all kinds of miscellaneous knowledge, and he liked to show off. Unfortunately, no one in the family listened to him talk about these things.
This time, when he met Han Li, the other side humbly asked for advice and listened attentively to him, just scratching his itch. In addition, Han Li had saved his life, so naturally, he had a good impression of him.
"It is said that the deeper we go into the Thunderstorm Sea, the stronger the lightning. Now that we have just set out, the lightning outside is already so strong. In the depths of the Thunderstorm Sea, the lightning power in the clouds will increase by ten times. Will this Sea Crossing Thunder Boat be a problem?" Han Li asked with a frown.
"Don't worry, Brother Li. This Sea Crossing Thunder Boat is made from 100,000-year-old Lightning Wood. This type of wood is highly resistant to lightning strikes. The surface of the boat is coated with a layer of lightning film. According to my observations, it is made from at least 200,000-year-old Lightning Wood's sap. There should be no problem," Sun Ke said confidently.
"I didn't expect Brother Sun to be so familiar with the structure of this Sea Crossing Thunder Boat," Han Li said in admiration.
"Brother Li is too kind.
Speaking of which, this Black Feather Merchant Guild has a lot of connections with my family.
Ai, I don't know when I can return to the family. "Sun Ke seemed to think of something and his expression became sad.
Seeing this, Han Li didn't say anything and stood up, looking out the window.
Even through the flying boat's restriction, he could still feel the incomparably strong lightning aura outside. The Thunder Roc bloodline in his body was faintly resonating.
Although this place was dangerous, it was definitely a treasure land for those who cultivated lightning-attribute cultivation methods.
However, this Thunderstorm Sea wasn't just filled with lightning.
Ever since he stepped into this place, Han Li felt that the spatial suppression suddenly began to increase.
The Immortal World's spiritual energy was rich and the spatial suppression was also very strong, greatly limiting his speed and the range of his spiritual sense.
He didn't expect the spatial suppression in this Thunderstorm Sea to be several times stronger than in other places. He didn't know if it had anything to do with this special environment.
"Brother Sun, you must also feel the spatial suppression here. Do you know why it is like this?" He looked at Sun Ke who was next to him.
"This … about this matter, I also specifically looked for the reason, but I couldn't find any basis for it. Some people said that it was caused by a fierce battle between two Dao Ancestor level powerhouses a long time ago. Some people also said that there was a huge thunder beast hidden in this Thunderstorm Sea. However, these are all rumors, no one can be sure." Sun Ke scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
"Haha, it's rare that there is something that even you don't know." Han Li laughed and didn't probe further.
The scenery outside was very shocking at first, but after looking at it for a long time, it became boring. Sun Ke soon lost the interest to appreciate the scenery. He said goodbye to Han Li and returned to his room.
Han Li waved his hand and set up a restriction in the room. He waved his hand and took out the Star Shifting Mother-Child Disk. He waved his hand to cast a spell, and the black disk suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
After a long time, he waved his hand and stopped activating the disk. He held a small ball of heavy water the size of an egg in his hand and smiled bitterly.
At this point, the teleportation ability of the Star Shifting Mother-Child Disk was greatly reduced again. It took him a long time to teleport this bit of heavy water.
He shook his head and took back the disk and the heavy water. He turned his hand and took out a thick ancient book and flipped through it.
The Thunderstorm Sea was very large, and it would take at least two or three years to cross it.
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
The lightning in the clouds was getting more and more concentrated, indicating that this cross-sea thunder boat had gradually penetrated into the deepest part of the Thunderstorm Sea.
Han Li stood by the window and looked at the clouds outside. He saw thick lightning snakes rolling in the dark clouds. There was one lightning snake at every distance. The entire sea was brightly illuminated, and it was no longer dark like before.
Most of the lightning snakes were still rolling in the clouds, and only a few would strike down.
The size of the giant boat was too big, and it was often struck by lightning.
The lightning here was much thicker than before, and its power was obviously much greater. Every time it was struck by lightning, the giant boat also began to tremble, and the thunder film on the boat's body fluctuated, but there was no sign of it breaking.
Han Li stood at the window and attentively gazed at the devastating lightning outside.
The lightning here seemed chaotic and disorderly, but it contained some kind of mysterious and endless changes.
Looking at the changes of the lightning, his understanding of the Thunder Art also improved.
At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly rolled, just like the sea below was surging violently. The lightning in the clouds also surged violently, and there was a loud muffled sound, as if there were some huge things colliding with each other.
Han Li's eyes lit up, but he didn't show too much surprise. He had seen this scene too many times along the way.
The cross-sea thunder boat emitted a purple light, and immediately changed direction, fleeing into the distance.
Although the thunder boat was fast, the changes in the clouds in the sky were even faster. In the blink of an eye, a huge whirlpool was formed.
Zi zi!
The lightning near the cloud whirlpool seemed to be attracted, and all gathered there. The center of the whirlpool was filled with lightning. The lightning was so dense that it appeared to be a scorching white color, and it was too dazzling to look at directly.
"Rumble …" A terrible sound rang out.
The cross-sea flying boat flew at full speed, trying to fly out of the range of the whirlpool.
In the next moment, the center of the huge whirlpool suddenly lit up, and countless thick lightning arcs shot out, hitting the sea below, covering a radius of thousands of miles.
Incomparably thick lightning bolts were like trees, forming a huge lightning forest, and the sea below also seemed to be boiling.
Fortunately, the cross-sea thunder boat had already flown out of the range of the whirlpool, and it wasn't struck by the lightning forest.
Han Li's eyes flickered, and he faintly sighed.
This scene was the most famous thunderstorm in the Thunderstorm Sea. There were many types of thunderstorms here, and this kind of lightning whirlpool was relatively common.
