Behind the deck of the Shenhe airship, several figures peered through the windows, gritting their teeth as they watched the couple in front of them flaunting their affection.
Undoubtedly, these were the disciples who had accompanied them.
Although they couldn't offer much help here, there was nothing to do back at Chaofeng Mountain, so they had been brought along as a precaution.
Thus, throughout the journey, Lin Xueyan and the others harbored considerable resentment towards the couple who were constantly showing off.
But they were, in fact, their master's immortal companions. There was no arguing with them, nor could they defeat them in battle.
This left them with no recourse but to watch from the sidelines, all consumed by envy.
"Master is really something. If only he would hug me like that too!"
Fang Zhiwei, looking at Xing Wu, whose waist was being embraced, couldn't hide her longing.
Lin Xueyan and the others nodded in agreement.
"Exactly, it looks so comfortable..."
To be held in Master's arms was undoubtedly a haven of gentleness more comfortable than any other place.
Unfortunately, that position was now forcefully occupied by their Mistress.
As for Xu Binglan, who had come along, she remained remarkably calm, merely observing them from afar.
She was taking advantage of the ride to go to the Void Abyss and contact the elders and disciples stationed there from Hongchen Mountain.
After all, due to the recent changes in the Sea of Void, various forces had been unable to reach the Void Abyss, leading to a complete loss of contact.
"I really wish something unexpected would happen to interrupt Master's public display of affection..."
Fang Zhiwei said dejectedly, but what unexpected event could occur in the Sea of Void?
Of course, there were possibilities...
As Fang Zhiwei's words fell, an alarm blared throughout the Shenhe airship.
[Alert, high-intensity profound energy reaction detected ahead! High-intensity profound energy reaction detected ahead!]
That familiar alarm sound was deeply etched in the memory of everyone present the last time it occurred.
Xu Binglan frowned, and her body instantly vanished from its position, reappearing on the deck.
Inside the cabin, Lin Xueyan and the others were still staring at the scene in disbelief.
"This... this isn't that thing from last time, is it?"
Lin Xueyan's gaze sharpened, and she immediately thought of something unpleasant.
Fang Zhiwei was also startled and quickly looked up at the sky.
"Oh heavens, I was just joking! Please don't take it seriously!"
Although she wished for an incident, she absolutely did not want to see the tentacled monster from before again.
After all, as a young lady, she had an innate revulsion and disgust towards such large, soft-bodied, tentacled creatures.
But clearly, there was no returning items to the heavens!
As they successively emerged from the airship's interior onto the deck, they could all clearly see the increasingly turbulent waves in the distance.
Even the increasingly gloomy sky, with its rolling thunderclouds, and an extremely terrifying pressure that was steadily approaching.
"Master, what is that ahead..."
Lin Xueyan, upon emerging, immediately called out to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun, who had released Xing Wu from his embrace, raised an eyebrow as he looked at the celestial phenomenon ahead and snorted lightly.
"I didn't expect such a coincidence. To run into it again on this trip."
Although, judging by the previous encounter, it might not have been a coincidence, but rather that the other party had been searching for him in the Sea of Void all along.
Xing Wu, standing beside him, frowned and asked, "What? Could this be that void beast that surpasses Emperor rank you mentioned last time?"
Even she could feel a terrifying pressure approaching them from beneath the sea.
Ye Yun nodded. "I'm afraid so. It looked like this last time it appeared."
Xu Binglan, now understanding the situation, couldn't help but frown and ask.
"A void beast that surpasses Emperor rank? What do we do? Retreat now, or...?"
After all, this was something that surpassed Emperor rank. Perhaps among those they knew, only Xiao Meng, whom Ye Yun referred to as being of divine rank, could handle it.
However, Ye Yun remained calm and chuckled.
"Don't worry. If it were before, we would indeed have to flee with our tails between our legs, and might not even escape."
"But this time, the situation is different."
He had promised that if he encountered the other party again, he would show them what true strength was.
Now, the opportunity had arrived. The old score, where he was nearly killed, had yet to be settled. Meeting again now, he absolutely had to let them know why the flowers were so red!
At that very moment, as the Sea of Void churned with abnormal phenomena, those thick tentacles surged out of the water, and the colossus's body once again burst from the sea.
With a furious roar that echoed through the heavens and earth, its mountain-like body launched an attack towards the Shenhe airship, dark, thick tentacles interweaving as they struck.
Lin Xueyan and the others, seeing this familiar attack, felt a considerable amount of fear.
Ye Yun, however, let out a soft snort.
"You all wait here for a moment. Your master will go and hack that guy to pieces!"
As his words fell, Ye Yun shot out like a meteor, straight ahead.
The God Slaying Sword in his hand blazed with fiery intensity. The power of the True Flame Heavenly Dao, like celestial fire, twisted the surroundings with its heat.
Ye Yun's figure had already reached the vicinity of the bloody monster. He raised an eyebrow.
"From this distance, you really are an interesting looking fellow."
From afar, it had appeared as a massive lump of flesh, but upon closer inspection, one could see that it was composed of fused remnants of limbs.
At first glance, it resembled a bizarre creature formed by the integration of countless corpses.
At this moment, Ye Yun, alone with his sword, was like a god descending from the heavens. The sword in his hand swung with fiery meteor-like sword techniques.
Waves of destructive arcs fell continuously, tearing and burning the interwoven mass of flesh.
Compared to last time, a casual sword strike from him now could easily shatter several of its tentacles, and the True Phoenix Flame that burned it made even regeneration difficult.
The most obvious sign was the bloody monster's continuous cries of pain under his assault.
"This... Master is actually this strong!"
On the Shenhe airship in the distance, Lin Xueyan and the others watched Ye Yun with sparkling eyes.
Last time, his battle with the Heavenly Dao Hall Master was mostly heard of, and they had not truly witnessed their Master's might.
Seeing it now, it was truly formidable!
However, from its mouth, there continued to issue roars that only Ye Yun could understand.
"Ye... Ye... Yun!"
Hearing it roar his name, as if harboring a deep, bloody enmity, made Ye Yun quite uncomfortable.
Seeing that its strength was no match, the bloody monster did not continue to stall.
It glowed with a bloody light, clearly about to unleash the terrifying sonic wave that had nearly annihilated them all before.
"Shut that up!"
Ye Yun, with great decisiveness, raised his long sword and directly slashed towards its mouth.
