Chapter 995,
Inside a luxurious room aboard the Purple Star Starship, a short, sallow-skinned old man held a communication type artifact in front of himself and poured his Divine Sense into it, trying to contact Ke Meng in the power room, but no matter who he tried to reach, he received no response .
“What happened?” The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and stomped his foot .
After a moment of hesitation, he hurriedly opened his door and prepared to go down to the power room personally to see the situation .
But just as he opened the door, he saw two youths emitting clear malicious intention flying towards his direction .
The old man didn’t think too much about this though and simply called out to the two youths, “You two, come here!”
Shen Tu, who was leading the way, let out a cry of surprise and said, “It’s this old man, he’s the Chart Master on this Starship! I saw him go in and out of the power room some time ago!”
Yang Kai nodded lightly and followed after Shen Tu, quickly arriving beside the old man .
“What’s going on in the power room, why isn’t Ke Meng responding to this old master’s call?” The old man roared angrily .
Shen Tu just grinned back at him, revealing a gloomy smile as he said, “Ke Meng is dead, so of course he won’t respond to your messages!”
The old man’s expression filled with surprise at these words and suddenly realized that something wasn’t right . Just as he was about to turn back and return to his room, a lightning snake appeared from Shen Tu’s body and quickly wrapped around the old man’s body, binding him tightly .
The powerful lightning arc caused the old man’s body to go stiff and numb .
“Carry him!” Shen Tu looked around and saw that no one else as nearby before he turned towards a certain direction and sped off .
Yang Kai’s face became cold as he grabbed the old man tied up in the lightning rope and faintly said, “If you want to live, you’d better cooperate, or I’ll kill you!”
Although the Chart Master of this Purple Star Starship wasn’t young, his strength wasn’t very high, only reaching the Third Order Transcendent Realm, so it was easy for Shen Tu, and Yang Kai to capture him .
Ordinary Chart Masters didn’t possess high cultivations because they dedicated most of their time and energy to studying the mysteries of the Starry Sky and producing Star Charts .
This also caused them to not have any self-protection ability when they fell into danger .
“Who are you?” The old man asked sternly .
“Who we are is none of your concern . So long as you take us out of the Chaotic Abyss, everything will be fine, once we leave this place, we will naturally let you go, I promise you!” Shen Tu spun around and said flatly .
“Good, I’ll lead you away, but you must take me to the Starship’s power room first, otherwise we’ll all end up dead!” The old man hurriedly shouted .
Shen Tu sneered, “Do you think we’re idiots? We just managed to escape from the power room, and now that place is filled with Purple Star’s masters, are we supposed to go there and meekly accept death?”
“You don’t understand, naturally I have a good reason for insisting on going to the power room, this has nothing to do with you letting yourselves get caught!” The old man said desperately, “If you don’t take me there now, not only will we three die, even this Starship will be destroyed . ”
“What do I care if this Starship can’t be saved?” Shen Tu’s snickered, taking pleasure in Purple Star’s misfortune .
“How can I convince you… There is a huge danger brewing outside that will soon sweep across the entire Chaotic Abyss, if we don’t act quickly, no one here will survive . ”
Shen Tu came to a halt and turned back towards the old man, “What do you mean? Speak clearly . ”
“Just look outside for yourself!” The old man didn’t answer but instead gestured towards the outside .
Shen Tu and Yang Kai both exchanged a glance and felt that this old man wasn’t simply being an alarmist, the two of them casting their eyes through one of the windows in the corridor in the next moment .
Outside, it was the same scene of massive and beautiful stars, but right now, the incredibly rich World Energy field seemed to have taken on a hazy quality, appearing somewhat like an illusory fog .
The powerful domains produced by the various stars also seemed to be fluctuating as well .
All the cultivators from Sword Union and Purple Star, who were originally heavily engaged in a battle to the death, had ceased all combat and were instead fleeing with all haste towards their respective Starships .
“What happened? They’re all returning now,” Shen Tu expression changed greatly, “It couldn’t be because of the crystal cannon barrage I just shot, right?”
Yang Kai looked at him faintly but said nothing .
Shen Tu seemed somewhat embarrassed and shrugged, “I didn’t expect things to turn out like this, I just wanted to vent some of my anger…”
“I don’t think it has anything to do with what you did . If it was, the Sword Union cultivators wouldn’t also be retreating but instead chasing after them; but right now, both sides are withdrawing . They should be aware of the coming danger,” Yang Kai turned his attention to the old man in his hand and quickly asked, “What is this danger?”
“A domain eruption! You can’t feel it from inside here, but all of those people are coming back because they sensed the drastic change in the energy domains of the Chaotic Abyss’ stars . None of them dares stay outside now, they should only want to return to their ships as quickly as possible to flee from here . If they’re too late, even if they hide inside this Starship, they won’t be safe!”
“A domain eruption?” Shen Tu’s face sank .
“The Chaotic Abyss’ greatest danger!” The old man explained hurriedly, “Do you think that the chaotic and disorienting energy fields here simply cause one to lose their sense of direction? You’re very wrong, the stars in the Chaotic Abyss contain unimaginable World Energy, and once the World Energy in the surrounding space reaches a state of saturation, exceeding the limit of what this region can withstand, the delicate balance they normally maintain collapses and all that energy explodes . As for what happens next, I’m sure you can both imagine, yes?”
