A drop of water fell on Gu Xi's forehead, and a chill spread across her forehead.

Gu Xi wiped away the water droplets with her hand, frowned, and said, "It's raining?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a dense raindrop began to fall.

The thunder grew louder and louder, mingling with the waves, creating a deafening roar around the ice pillars.

Gu Xi quickly used his mental power to contact Yan Lin on the ship.

"Flame Scale, is it raining?"

"Pfft~ It's drizzling, but the thunder is loud and the waves are high. I guess the rain will get heavier in a while."

Yan Lin's words startled Gu Xi.

It was just a light rain?!

Gu Xi was filled with surprise. The deafening roar and falling raindrops outside made her think it was pouring rain.

In the brief moment she was momentarily stunned, a torrent of water poured down.

Gu Xi's eyes widened instantly, and without hesitation, she severed her mental energy, focusing all her attention on dealing with this sudden situation.

At this moment, Ai Si reacted extremely quickly, waving her hands to release powerful mental energy, which instantly froze into ice upon falling into the water.

The once spacious and enormous exit is now reduced to a narrow slit.

The water that couldn't be splashed off turned into ice in mid-air, and the next wave of water crashed hard onto the ice, making a series of thunderous sounds.

Boom—

The chilling sound of the impact echoed throughout the entire space.

The splashes of water that were ejected flowed straight down the ice crevice and splashed back into the semi-enclosed space.

"Ais, go back to the ship first!"

After Gu Xi finished speaking, she stepped on the spikes and rushed out into the last remaining gap without hesitation.

Ais hurriedly opened the passage and followed.

At this moment, the thunder grew more frequent, each clap of thunder seeming to tear the sky apart.

Irregular lightning bolts, like dazzling lightsabers, ripped through the dark sky one after another, instantly illuminating the dim world as bright as day, the light so intense it hurt the eyes.

Gu Xi and Ai Si's figures appeared and disappeared in the flashes of lightning.

As soon as the man and the fish boarded the boat, the mysterious pillar of light seemed to be fully activated by the raging thunderstorm, and began to frantically absorb the energy of the lightning and thunder.

Gu Xi and the fish stood on the deck, nervously watching the beam of light.

The beam of light, which had been continuously absorbing the thunder, suddenly burst forth with a blinding brilliance. The light was so intense that everyone had to raise their hands to shield their eyes.

The beam of light shot into the sky like a collision of energy.

The white beam of light, mixed with blue and purple rays, shot straight into the sky, actually punching a skull hole in the dark clouds.

The entire process lasted about 10 seconds, and the beam of light eventually disappeared quietly somewhere in the sky.

Before anyone could catch their breath, the sea began to shake and tremble violently, and the already turbulent waves became even more turbulent.

The huge waves crashed against each other like angry beasts, sending up high sprays of water.

Its power was so great that it immediately triggered the Future's defense system.

The constant sound of decreasing protective energy made Gu Xi's heart tighten.

Fortunately, the violent tremors did not last long. Soon after, a huge dark cloud, resembling a wall, slowly formed on the sea surface, rotating at an astonishingly slow speed.

Around the wall of dark clouds, lightning and thunder mingled, creating a scene reminiscent of a doomsday judgment, sending chills down one's spine.

Gu Xi looked up but couldn't see the end of the dark cloud wall.

She had to use her mental powers again to investigate.

However, the result still disappointed her.

That thick wall of dark clouds, just like that sturdy crystal pillar, allowed spiritual energy to penetrate it without any result.
