The moment Luo Tian's group of four entered the Realm-Breaking Teleportation Array, they felt a kaleidoscope of colors rapidly receding around them.
Everything in their vision was a chaotic, high-speed blur; they couldn't see anything clearly.
Suddenly, the brilliant streams of light dimmed and dissipated, replaced by a pitch-black expanse.
"So this is the world outside the Dongchen Realm?"
It was the first time any of them had left Dongchen, and they curiously sized up their surroundings.
The black space was vast and boundless. Only faint gray currents of wind drifted through the void, creating a mysterious and desolate atmosphere.
The material composition of this Outer World Space was vastly different from the space within the Dongchen Continent.
Floating in the void, Luo Tian felt as if his body was weightless. He could float in midair without intentionally trying to fly, though he would slowly sink.
WHOOSH!
Luo Tian activated his True Essence and flew upward.
Factors like gravity and air resistance were almost negligible. He felt that flying in the Outer Void was three to four times faster than on the Dongchen Continent.
'However, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Outer Void is stretched to its absolute limit. If my True Essence runs out and I can't replenish it in time, the consequences would be unimaginable…'
This was precisely why one had to prepare a Flying Artifact or a flying mount for travel in the Outer World.
"Ahem, everyone, give me some space."
Cheng Wanli took a few steps back and retrieved a small, antique-cyan boat from his Storage Space. It was as tall as a two-story building and nearly twenty meters long.
Luo Tian had seen the Flying Ships of the Celestial Ring Alliance and the Cyan Armor Race, both of which were much larger than this one.
But the Flying Ships of the Celestial Ring Alliance and the Cyan Armor Race were the property of major factions.
This small, antique-cyan boat, on the other hand, was the private property of Cheng Wanli, an Earth Element Realm First Layer cultivator. This was quite astonishing.
'It sure is nice to come from a rich family,' Luo Tian mused.
"All aboard!"
Cheng Wanli said with a proud smile.
The antique-cyan boat had ten individual rooms, all equipped with basic living facilities.
"This ship is called a 'Void Ship,' specifically designed for navigating the Outer Void. What's more, it has the location of the Human Race's territory pre-set, so it can navigate automatically!"
Cheng Wanli explained with a smug look on his face.
"That's very convenient!"
Luo Tian nodded.
The Dongchen Continent was a hidden Secret Realm Space that was constantly in motion. The vast Cosmos was simply too immense, and Luo Tian's group had no map.
This Void Ship had the location of the Human Race's territory and could navigate on its own.
During the journey, Luo Tian and the others wouldn't need to keep a constant watch and could enter seclusion for Cultivation.
"Activate!"
The Void Ship trembled slightly as various faint sounds came from all directions, and then it began to fly.
The Void Ship's speed was equivalent to that of a cultivator at the Earth Element Realm Sixth Layer or higher on the Dongchen Continent.
The Outer Void wasn't truly a complete vacuum. Gray currents of wind were everywhere, and if one flew too fast, these currents felt like cold blades slicing at them.
Fortunately, this Void Ship had a certain degree of Defense. A faint cyan light shield materialized around its hull.
Inside the Void Ship, the group gazed at their surroundings.
"In the vast Cosmos, there are countless realms of all sizes. The Dongchen Continent's position is erratic, but it has always remained in the outermost regions of the Cosmos..."
Cheng Wanli sighed.
He wondered how long it would be before they encountered another small world.
Luo Tian and the others each chose a room and began to cultivate peacefully!
The world within the realm was different from the world outside.
The Dongchen Continent was just a tiny speck of dust on the edge of the vast Cosmos, isolated from the rest of the universe.
In the Outer World, realms of all sizes collided with one another, and cultivation civilizations developed rapidly.
The minimum standard for travel in the Outer World was the Earth Element Realm.
After leaving Dongchen, the four of them felt a profound sense of their own insignificance, like the pressure and helplessness of leaving a small village for a big city for the first time.
Inside a room.
Luo Tian took out a plain, light blue stone.
This was the Ice Dragon Celestial Cold Stone with its power sealed.
Among the three treasures Luo Tian had obtained from Venerable Biqing's Heritage Treasure Land, this item was the most valuable.
Luo Tian held the Ice Dragon Celestial Cold Stone and activated the Nether Dragon Divine Vein inside his body, which produced a faint suction force.
BUZZ! WHOOSH!
Blue scale-like patterns flickered across the surface of the Ice Dragon Celestial Cold Stone, scattering a wave of frigid light.
Luo Tian's entire body went stiff with cold, and he faintly heard a mighty dragon's roar that seemed to shake the world.
"Absorb!"
Luo Tian urged his Nether Dragon Divine Vein to absorb the Cold Power that had permeated his body, and only then did sensation return to his limbs.
HMMMM! BUZZ!
Within Luo Tian's body, the scales on his Dragon-shaped Divine Vein shimmered with a frigid, dark blue light, wreathed in a spectral mist.
At the end of the Divine Vein, the incomplete section showed faint signs of growth.
The Ice Dragon Celestial Cold Stone could not only strengthen the Nether Dragon Divine Vein but also mend its imperfections.
'This treasure is truly worth it!'
The Cold Power contained within the Ice Dragon Celestial Cold Stone was pure and potent, providing immense nourishment to the Nether Dragon Divine Vein!
The treasures Luo Tian had previously obtained that benefited the Nether Dragon Divine Vein were far inferior to the Ice Dragon Celestial Cold Stone in every aspect.
In just half an hour.
Luo Tian's Nether Dragon Divine Vein had improved significantly. With its Cold Power alone, he could now strongly interfere with a cultivator at the Earth Element Realm Second Layer.
'With this item, my Nether Dragon Divine Vein will continue to grow stronger and become one of my most powerful assets!'
A look of joy appeared on Luo Tian's face.
Just then, Cheng Wanli's shout came from outside, "Everyone, be careful! There are other living beings approaching!"
Ye Feng, Luo Tian, and Yi Jingwen immediately left their rooms!
Encountering other beings for the first time in the Outer Void, they were all on high alert.
In the distant void, a large, dark cyan ship was sailing at high speed.
"That Void Ship's size and speed far exceed ours. Let's avoid it," Ye Feng said in a low voice.
But Luo Tian's eyes narrowed. He had a sense of familiarity.
At the same time, his Creation Technique sent him a strong premonition of danger.
"Not good, run!" Luo Tian shouted.
He remembered now. The design style of the distant Void Ship was extremely similar to the one that had suddenly intruded into the Celestial Extreme Mountain Range.
In other words, that ship very likely belonged to another team of the Cyan Armor Race!
Cheng Wanli and the others didn't understand why, but they didn't question Luo Tian's words.
Cheng Wanli immediately steered the Void Ship away from the large, dark cyan ship.
But suddenly, a point of white light flared up on the large, dark cyan ship.
BOOM!
The next moment, a blazing white pillar of light shot across several thousand meters of the void, bathing their vision in brilliant light.
Cheng Wanli pushed the Void Ship to its maximum speed, but its stern was still hit and instantly vaporized into ash.
"Oh no, the Void Ship is going to explode!" Cheng Wanli cried out in alarm.
A violent, dangerous energy surged from within the Void Ship, growing stronger and stronger!
...
Aboard the large, dark cyan ship.
More than twenty members of the Cyan Armor Race gazed into the distance.
"We hit the little junker."
A young man from the Cyan Armor Race, dressed in a Golden Robe, showed a cruel smile.
"It looks like there are a few humans on it!"
A middle-aged man from the Cyan Armor Race, clad in a large gray robe, had a stern and cold expression, his eyes a chilling dark cyan.
"Why would humans suddenly appear in this region?"
"Could it be... the human world our race is searching for? They couldn't have come from there, could they?"
At these words, the faces of the Cyan Armor Race members present lit up with excitement.
「A few months ago.」
The upper echelons of the Sea Demon Palace had given them a mission: to search for a hidden, small human world in this desolate region.
As a subsidiary power of the Sea Demon Palace, the Cyan Armor Race spared no effort, dispatching several teams to conduct the search.
Now, it seemed they had found a clue.
"Second Uncle, let me go capture those humans!"
The Golden Robe youth of the Cyan Armor Race said with an excited smile on his face.
"...Alright!"
The gray-robed, middle-aged man from the Cyan Armor Race hesitated for three breaths before giving a slight nod.
The four humans were all weak in Cultivation. The strongest was only at the Earth Element Realm Second Layer. The Golden Robe youth's Cultivation was at the Earth Element Realm Third Layer, so there shouldn't be any problem.
The Golden Robe youth immediately took two of his followers and left the Void Ship.
KABOOM!
The antique-cyan Void Ship exploded in a flash of fiery light.
Before this happened, Luo Tian and the others had already jumped ship, avoiding the blast.
If they had stayed on board, they would likely have been blown to bits, with not even their bones remaining.
"The difference in Void Ships is too great!" Luo Tian said grimly.
The Cyan Armor Race's Void Ship not only completely outclassed Cheng Wanli's in size and speed but also possessed powerful Attack capabilities.
Even a Middle Tier Earth Element Realm expert would have had to retreat from that beam of light just now.
The Defense on Cheng Wanli's Void Ship was relatively crude; it was blown apart instantly.
"Damn it, my Void Ship!"
Cheng Wanli wore a pained expression.
"Master said the Outer Void is fraught with danger, but this is too much!"
Ye Feng was still shaken by the experience.
They had barely left the Dongchen Continent and had already run into something like this, nearly losing their lives.
"Hurry, let's go!" Luo Tian shouted.
The next moment, three figures from the Cyan Armor Race appeared above the fiery explosion: one at the Earth Element Realm Third Layer and two at the Earth Element Realm Second Layer!
"None of you are going anywhere!"
The leader, the Golden Robe youth, adopted a superior posture, looking down on Luo Tian's group of four with indifference!
In the next instant, the three members of the Cyan Armor Race launched their Attack!
A cyan long spear appeared in the Golden Robe youth's hand. He thrust it forward, unleashing a dark cyan shadow of light that resembled a frenzied dragon, its might terrifying.
SHIING!
Ye Feng immediately drew his sword, slashing out a vast and magnificent, crystal-white Sword Light.
The Sword Light and the spear shadow collided instantly. The dark cyan spear shadow, like a frenzied dragon, tore Ye Feng's Sword Light to shreds.
'What a terrifying attack!'
Ye Feng was horrified.
Among the four of them, his Cultivation was the highest. He had broken through to the Earth Element Realm Second Layer half a month ago, yet he couldn't even block a single move from the Golden Robe man.
SWISH!
The massive, raging, dark cyan spear shadow swept past. Ye Feng was sent flying back more than ten meters, a piece of his sleeve was torn off, and his arm was dripping with blood.
Ye Feng immediately got back on his feet and fled at top speed.
Because the three from the Cyan Armor Race had attacked so suddenly, Luo Tian's group fled in a panic and were scattered.
Luo Tian was with Yi Jingwen, while Ye Feng and Cheng Wanli escaped together.
"Eh? A human beauty!"
The Golden Robe youth's gaze fell on Yi Jingwen, and a lecherous smile appeared on his face.
"I'll leave those two humans to you!"
The Golden Robe youth gave the order, then charged toward Luo Tian and Yi Jingwen himself.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
In the dark and empty void, Luo Tian and Yi Jingwen fled at high speed.
"Luo Tian, are they... the Cyan Armor Race?" Yi Jingwen asked.
She had only learned from her master that an Alien Race called the Cyan Armor Race had broken into the Dongchen Continent.
Once the location of the Dongchen Continent was exposed, war would follow!
"That's right!" Luo Tian nodded.
As for why the Cyan Armor Race had invaded the Dongchen Continent, Luo Tian had gotten some clues during a previous deduction and had his own suspicions.
The Cyan Armor Race was also an aquatic race; he was afraid they were inextricably linked to the Sea Hunter Race.
