Chapter 367: A Situation That Can No Longer Be Delayed

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

After bidding farewell to Wang Ronghui and Lin Hai, Chen Yiming stepped into the sea.

The distance of 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers on the sea wasn’t far for Chen Yiming. However, in order to prevent himself from being misled and falling into a trap, he used his spiritual power to distort his figure as he moved forward, trying his best to minimize the commotion he caused.

After all, it was still unknown who had created the oceanic trench on the blue planet.

If it was something similar to the shadow of the giant mouth on the moon, the 10 transport planes might be bait to lure him there and rescue them.

…

“What’s that!”

Similar to the fighter jets sent out by the command center, Chen Yiming was forced to stop about 1,000 kilometers away from the trench.

A transparent barrier rose up from the bottom of the sea. It was so tall that it pierced through the clouds, and ripples appeared on its surface from time to time.

In addition, the sky outside the barrier was cloudless, but lightning flashed and thunder rumbled inside the barrier. Countless forked lightning bolts descended, forming a terrifying lightning domain.

The scene inside the barrier was something that the fighter jets had not mentioned. At this moment, the density of lightning was still increasing, as if something had been triggered.

“The hidden existence timed it such that I would be lured over to observe these changes?” Chen Yiming was suddenly confused.

If it wanted him to accidentally barge into the trench and cause a conflict, it should have waited for him to enter before secretly tampering with it. It should not have triggered it in advance.

The loss of manpower and supplies carried by the 10 transport planes would indeed affect their cooperation, but it was not to the extent that their cooperation would be broken off.

“Why do I feel that an invisible hand is pushing for some change in the situation? Are they trying to force me into action? Or are they trying to scare me off?”

It was no wonder that Chen Yiming had such thoughts. The huge eye clearly had the advantage in terms of cultivation level, but it had been severely injured by him and then hidden away, never to be seen again.

The existence behind the Ice Valley also had the advantage of being at a higher cultivation level, but it did not dare to negotiate with him openly. Instead, it controlled a few humans to negotiate with him.

They were stronger than him, but their actions were puzzling.

“If their true intention is to scare me, then it only means that the time for the black tide to descend is really approaching. They want to escape and are urging the human spaceship to take off.”

When the spaceship left the atmosphere, there was a high chance that it would be attacked by the shadow mouth. Chen Yiming wouldn’t sit back and do nothing if that happened.

This way, he would be helping them to hold back the mouth shadow.

“Their methods are too lousy,” Chen Yiming muttered.

Of course, it was also because the black tide was about to descend that they did not have enough time to set up a trap. They could only use brute force to scare him, causing him to see through them with just a glance.

The strength of the lightning domain inside the barrier was still increasing. The 10 transport planes were affected by the barrier and the harsh environment, and it was unknown if the people inside were dead or alive.

At this moment, the spiritual figure sent a message. A large number of snow monsters had suddenly appeared in the north of the Daxia Kingdom, and a terrifying ice storm was brewing.

After Chen Yiming arranged for the spiritual figure to deal with it, he was even more certain that some people were trying to scare him.

No matter how many snow monsters there were, as long as the existence behind the ice crystal-like hair did not appear, they would not be enough to kill the spiritual figure.

The other party had only calculated that he would be lured away from the Daxia Kingdom and wanted to use the snow monsters to stir up the situation in the Daxia Kingdom and create a huge change in the situation.

If not for the fact that Chen Yiming had the spiritual figure, after weighing the pros and cons, the Daxia Kingdom might have really been forced to hold back the shadow mouth for them.

What happened next seemed to confirm Chen Yiming’s guesses.

In the north of the Daxia Kingdom, after a large number of snow monsters appeared, a new situation appeared in the oceanic trench. A terrifying aura came from the bottom of the sea.

Chen Yiming’s expression froze. Even though he hadn’t used his spiritual power or entered the barrier, he could still feel the overwhelming difference.

He was clearly very strong now, but it would still be easy for the thing in the depths of the trench to kill him. It was on a completely different level from the huge eye he had encountered before.

“A tentacle?”

As the changes in the trench became more obvious, Chen Yiming vaguely saw a black shadow extend out and cover a distance of more than 100 kilometers.

Then, the lightning in the sky seemed to have been triggered and fell from the sky, exploding on the surface of the sea. The terrifying lightning spread through the sea and killed most of the sea creatures on the spot.

However, all these changes were only limited to the interior of the barrier. Not only could no one hear any movements outside the barrier, but they could not see the situation inside the barrier clearly from afar.

“Even if it’s an obvious plan, we have no choice but to go along with it!” Chen Yiming sighed.

It was obvious how shocked the Daxia Kingdom would be if such a scene was reported to them. The situation would develop in a terrible direction.

The changes below were still ongoing.

The deaths of countless creatures in the sea dyed a large area red. This range was not just dozens of kilometers, but thousands of kilometers.

A vortex appeared, and all the red light began to move towards the trench, as if it was being sucked in.

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”

As the red color from the blood disappeared, the bottom of the sea turned black again. Chen Yiming heard a sound similar to a heartbeat.

“Uh… is a terrifying monster being born?”

Chen Yiming instantly thought that the black tide creatures were about to make a move. However, the situation was actually the opposite.

The barrier that reached into the sky began to dissipate, and the lightning environment gradually faded away. The dark clouds in the sky gradually cleared up.

At this moment, 10 transport planes streaked across the sky, as if the lightning environment had not reached the clouds.

“Or it’s really trying to scare me.”

“However, I was really frightened. If that tentacle was aimed at me, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to escape.”

Chen Yiming was still panicking after he saw the changes in the trench.

In order to spread the feelings of despair, it was not impossible for them to make the first move on him, the strongest person on the blue planet, the day the black tide truly descended.

It was also a problem for him to escape now. The spiritual figure still needed some time to break through. He had to face the terrifying shadow mouth that he could not defeat.

It was also a problem not to run away. Once the terrifying existence in the trench appeared, who could stop it? Even the spiritual figure that had broken through would probably not be able to do so.

He had no choice but to see what the female spirit had to say.

Chen Yiming sent a thought into the ring in his hand, requesting to talk.

One minute passed.

Two minutes passed.

A thought came back to him. “Escape as soon as possible before the second blockade is formed.”

A blockade?

What was that?

Could it be referring to the shadow mouth on the moon?

Chen Yiming sent another thought. “How should we deal with the shadow mouth on the moon? We can’t defeat it.”

This time, the female spirit replied quickly, “I can hold it back for a moment.”

Did the female spirit have the ability to stop the shadow mouth when it was sealed by the ring?

Chen Yiming shuddered, and his back was drenched in cold sweat.

In the past, he had repeatedly jumped around in front of the other party, thinking that the female spirit was sealed by the ring and could not do anything to him. From the looks of it, he was really courting death.

Fortunately, the female spirit was also afraid of the black tide, so the two sides still had a basis for cooperation.

Soon, Chen Yiming shook off his complicated thoughts and turned to rush back to the Daxia Kingdom. It was time to consider how to take off while the spaceship was still incomplete.

…

In Ice City, to the north of the Daxia Kingdom, a blue-haired, white-eyed foreigner who claimed to be from the Ice Valley walked on the air and floated above the city in front of everyone.

He looked extremely arrogant.

“The four snow monsters and their minions are about to freeze the entire north.”

His voice echoed throughout the entire Ice City. Countless people walked out of their houses and looked at the smiling man in the sky. They were panicking in their hearts.

Unlike the cities in the south-central part of the Daxia Kingdom, the people from Ice City near the Bear Kingdom were very concerned about the snow monsters. They were afraid that the snow monsters would attack the city one day.

The lethality of low temperatures was very terrifying. The snow monsters only needed to accumulate their strength along the way to create a terrifying ice storm. They could often easily break through the defense of a city.

There was a precedent for this. The snow monsters were enough to threaten any human city.
