Chapter 84: Heavy Rain and Stars



The old man's phantom disappeared on the boat quickly after explaining the rules of the secret realm trial.

So only Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian were left on the boat. They looked around and saw nothing else in the world except the pouring rain and the vast ocean.

"Is this what the world will look like after it is destroyed?" Xu Yinglian frowned.

She tried to make hand gestures and release her Taoist magic, and bright fire gushed out from her mouth and nose, covering the sky in front of her.

The raging fire evaporated all the rain wherever it passed, and white mist and heavy rain intertwined with each other, but did not create the original sea of ​​fire environment.

As Xu Yinglian stopped mobilizing his true energy, the large flames were quickly extinguished by the heavy rain, and the sky and earth were covered with water again.

"This environment is too harsh, restraining all non-water-based Taoist methods and magic weapons." Xu Yinglian frowned and said, "However... I'm afraid that this storm alone is not strong enough to kill high-level cultivators."

"Hmm." Qiu Changtian suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Junior sister, look."

Xu Yinglian looked in the direction he pointed and saw a meteor breaking through the heavy dark clouds, dragging a tail of blue flame, tearing through the endless rain curtain, and falling into the distance.

"What...is that?" Xu Yinglian asked in surprise.

Even from a long distance, she could tell that the meteor must have carried an extremely huge amount of heat. The torn cloud continued to spread outward from the hole, and a large amount of cloud mist and water vapor spread out in waves with the undulating shock waves.

"That's a falling star." Qiu Changtian sighed and said, "Junior sister, if that star falls on our heads, can we stop it?"

"It can't be stopped." Xu Yinglian made a quick judgment.

It's not just because of the heat, but also because of its extremely huge size, which is even more exaggerated than a mountain... Unless an immortal is here and uses his magical power to move mountains and fill the sea, what can be used to stop it?

"It's true that it's luck," Qiu Changtian sighed. "If you're unlucky enough to be hit by a star like this, you'll definitely die. And even if you're not hit head-on..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw a short white wall suddenly appear in the direction where the meteor fell.

At first it was only a slight height, but soon it became higher and higher, or rather, closer and closer, and finally it turned into a tsunami nearly a thousand feet high, smashing down on the small boat the two people were riding on!

At that moment, the two of them simultaneously performed Taoist magic techniques.

Xu Yinglian spit out the Red Feather Nine Phoenix Fire, and the golden thread cut the tsunami in half; Qiu Changtian bombarded it with Taiyi Thunder, blasting a big hole in the rootless water curtain, and the small boat just passed through the big hole in the white wall of the tsunami.

Before the two of them could catch their breath, they saw a second white wall of tsunami approaching not far ahead... How could a tsunami caused by a huge star falling like this be just one wave?

The second, the third, the fourth... By the time the seventeenth wave of tsunami arrived, the height had dropped to a hundred feet.

Xu Yinglian was about to make some hand gestures, but Qiu Changtian held down his hands.

"Take a rest, Junior Sister." Qiu Changtian said.

"I still have a lot of true energy." Xu Yinglian said stubbornly, but his breathing was a little disordered and his voice trembled slightly.

"If I run out of true energy later, I will still have to rely on you to take me away." Qiu Changtian said with a smile.

This was said so skillfully that Xu Yinglian soon stopped being stubborn.

Indeed, if my senior brother and I exhaust our true energy here, what should we do if we encounter danger again in the future?

Xu Yinglian then sat cross-legged in meditation, and began to race against time to recover his true energy, ready to take over from his exhausted senior brother at any time.

Qiu Changtian smiled secretly in his heart. When faced with such a situation, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would of course have to consider the issue of endurance. But he was a first-grade immortal infant, and his true essence was so abundant and powerful that he had even caught up with the earthly immortals.

To stop the consumption of these tsunamis is just the equivalent of sprinkling water.

However, the tsunami was only the aftermath of falling stars. If stars continued to fall, even if he could withstand the tsunami, the magic boat under him might not be able to withstand the tsunami.

In addition, if the stars fall too close, it will be more difficult to resist the tsunami, so we still have to find a shelter.

But the shelter... If there was a shelter that could protect against the world's destruction, why would he need to look for the Heaven-Repairing Stone?

As Qiu Changtian was thinking this, he suddenly heard Kunlun Mirror say:

"There's an island over there!"

Speaking of islands, Qiu Changtian immediately came to his senses.

Isn't that a natural shelter?

You know, with the amount of heavy rain and the surging waves at this time, the rapid undercurrent under the ocean is definitely more dangerous. If you accidentally fall into the water, you may be swept away to somewhere, and you won't even have time to use your Taoist magic.

But if you reach the island, even if the heavy rain continues, the environmental interference will be greatly weakened, and the possibility of survival will naturally increase.

Therefore, Qiu Changtian controlled the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword, held it horizontally against the stern of the boat, and then quickly urged it towards the island.

Xu Yinglian felt the boat beneath him vibrate. He opened his eyes and saw the outline of an island vaguely appearing in the rain in the distance.

As the island got closer, she suddenly stood up and said in confusion:

"Is that an island?"

"It certainly doesn't look like it." Qiu Changtian also narrowed his eyes.

Generally speaking, as long as the soil on an island is not too bad, there will usually be some trees or herbs growing on it.

But the island was bare, without any gently sloping beach, and seemed to have suddenly emerged from the bottom of the sea, as if...

"Junior sister." Qiu Changtian suddenly said, "Look at this island. Does it look like the top of a mountain range?"

Xu Yinglian was shocked.

She followed the edge of the island and probed her spiritual sense downwards.

At the edge of the divine sense's exploration, the part of the island submerged in the sea water still had an extremely steep slope extending downwards, and there was no seabed nearby at all.

This island is actually a small tip on top of a huge mountain range rising from the bottom of the very deep seabed.

Perhaps even more terrifying is that this was originally the top of a mountain. But now the sea level has risen so much that more than 99% of the mountain has been submerged, leaving only a small protrusion as an island...

Thinking of this, Xu Yinglian couldn't help but shudder.

If even the top of a mountain can become an island, then that means the area beneath our feet, deep below the sea, is the plain where humans originally lived?

Qiu Changtian was well prepared, after all, he already knew that the world was like a hollow glass marble submerged in the sea. Once the surface of the marble was damaged, it was only a matter of time before it was filled with water.

With the world completely destroyed, no one will survive in the end... But I just need to live longer than everyone else to successfully pass this test!
