Chapter 929 Ups and Downs

"No need to panic. The flying boat's own power is not enough to withstand the spatial storm. Only by drawing down the power of the stars can we ensure our safe passage through the channel," Madam Liu Hua said calmly.

Hearing this, the others were somewhat relieved.

As expected, after the initial violent shake and a slight descent of several dozen feet, the Star Falcon Flying Boat finally stabilized and rose again.

Immediately afterward, they saw countless flying star runes engraved on the entire flying boat erupting with streams of stellar power, like fountains. These streams intermingled, transforming into a snow-white stellar light curtain that enveloped the entire flying boat.

After a moment, the two wings on either side of the flying boat began to flap up and down, and the entire ship began to move forward, slowly entering the canyon.

Han Li felt the icy cold air coming towards him and the heat emanating from his right side. He focused his mind and began to observe the surrounding changes.

Apart from the sounds of the restrictions and formations on the ship, there was no other sound. Everyone held their breath and concentrated.

No one, including Madam Liu Hua, dared to say that this adventure was foolproof.

The flying boat slowly entered the canyon. Gusts of icy blue wind surged from the left, like countless sharp ice blades cutting into the Star Falcon Flying Boat.

However, the stellar light curtain outside the flying boat was quite resilient. Despite the howling wind and cutting force causing indentations to appear, it remained strong and showed no signs of breaking.

On the other side, the flames emanating from the canyon were extremely hot. As they surged, they turned half of the light curtain fiery red, but they still couldn't burn through the stellar light curtain.

However, the piercing cold and scorching heat could not be completely blocked. After seeping into the cabin, they immediately made everyone uncomfortable, completely dispelling the previous sense of comfort and ease.

After advancing several hundred feet further, nearing the confluence of the icy blue wind and scorching flames in the canyon, the force assaulting them was no longer just the residual power of the two elements, but also the hurricanes generated by their collision.

Although they hadn't yet reached the hurricanes, the roaring wind, like the hissing of demons, was already enough to torment their eardrums.

Just then, an unexpected event occurred.

A strong gust of wind from a hurricane swept over, hitting the bow of the flying boat squarely.

The Star Falcon Flying Boat shook violently. The bow swerved sharply, crashing towards the crystal blue ice wall on the left.

Under the force, the huge hull squeezed the bow and the side hull against the opposite mountain wall. If it crashed, the left half of the ship would definitely be severely damaged. Under the howling of the canyon hurricanes, the entire Star Falcon Flying Boat would probably collapse.

Without the protection of the stellar light curtain, these people would be directly exposed to the icy blue wind and scorching flames. Even worse, they could be swept into the spatial storm by the aftershock of the hurricane, which would certainly lead to death.

Just as everyone was panicking, a figure flashed to the left side of the ship's hull. It was none other than City Lord E Kuai.

He spread his hands, pointing them towards the crystal blue mountain wall. Countless Xuan Apertures densely covering his palms and arms lit up like stars in the night sky, erupting with a terrifying force that made one's heart palpitate.

Han Li, looking at his two arms, was also surprised. The number of Xuan Apertures opened on his arms alone was already close to two hundred. Even if others combined all their Xuan Apertures, they might not have as many as him.

It seemed that Chen Yang's previous claim that he had opened over a thousand Xuan Apertures was not an exaggeration.

As E Kuai's arm Xuan Apertures flickered, dazzling white light lit up simultaneously from his palms and fingertips, transforming into bright pillars of light. Initially, they were no thicker than fingers, but after reaching the stellar light curtain, they silently merged into it.

Immediately afterward, huge circular ripples lit up on the surface of the stellar light curtain. One after another, thick white pillars of light, as thick as rafters, condensed from within, extending and colliding with the crystal blue mountain wall on the left.

"Rumble..."

A roar sounded. Rocks on the crystal blue mountain wall shattered, and large sections of the wall collapsed in landslides. The twelve thick pillars of light, resting against it, acted like oars, forcibly turning the Star Falcon Flying Boat's huge body around.

The previously deviated bow slowly returned to its course, and the ship quickly stabilized.

Seeing this, the Xuan City people breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing E Kuai retract his hands and fingers, the white pillars of light that had surged out of the stellar light curtain slowly retracted, eventually disappearing. Han Li's shock grew even stronger.

Releasing one's own stellar power violently and causing great destruction was not difficult, but to be able to control the power so steadily and subtly like E Kuai, was extremely difficult.

This true number one of Xuan City was indeed extraordinary.

A not-so-small disturbance had finally passed smoothly, but the people did not dare to relax their minds in the slightest. They continued to fully urge the Star Falcon Flying Boat forward towards the raging hurricane.

After that, Madam Liu Hua constantly adjusted the direction of the flying boat, becoming more and more skilled. She skillfully avoided one vortex after another, finally approaching the hurricane formed by the intertwining of the two extremes of ice and fire.

"Hoo... Hoo..."

As the wind grew louder, the light curtain enveloping the Star Falcon Flying Boat was torn and deformed.

Han Li sat in the cabin, nearly a hundred Xuan Apertures lit up all over his body, and a layer of True Essence Membrane had appeared around him.

The rest of the Xuan City people were basically in the same situation. Most of them had already lit up over a hundred Xuan Apertures. This was not because E Kuai had demanded that everyone exert themselves, but because the closer they got to the hurricane, the closer they also got to the icy blue wind.

The piercing cold radiating from the wind became even stronger. Although the stellar light curtain could block part of it, it could not block it all. The cold air that seeped into the cabin still chilled them to the bone.

Many people already had frostbite marks on their faces, and their lips were cracked by the cold wind.

Unlike the extremely cold situation on this side, the people of Puppet City were as if they were in a fiery hell. Almost everyone's skin was a fiery red color, and the sweat all over their bodies evaporated before it could even drip down.

Their lips were also almost entirely covered with dry, cracked marks from the high heat, with a layer of white dead skin.

"Everyone, be careful, we are about to enter the passage. Control the flying boat with all your strength." At this moment, Madam Liu Hua's voice suddenly rang out from the bow of the ship.

Hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened, and their spirits were lifted.

Han Li looked forward along the left side of the ship's hull and saw a hazy, chaotic scene deep in the canyon. Countless spatial rifts were scattered around. Only in the center below was a confluence of icy wind and fiery fire. Above, a hurricane swirled high, rushing into the spatial storm.

"Boom boom boom..."

Rumbles constantly echoed, and the Star Falcon Flying Boat trembled violently. Cracking sounds came from the ship's hull.

Han Li's mind focused. He saw that the bow of the flying boat had already approached the white hurricane in front.

"Hoo..."

Just then, the bow of the Star Falcon Flying Boat suddenly twisted, and the entire ship suddenly accelerated, instantly being pulled into the storm.

Han Li and the others immediately felt dizzy, and they were almost thrown up and out of the cabin.

He quickly activated his Divine Ability, and his body plummeted downwards, firmly settling back into his seat.

"Hold the formation firmly, exert all your strength! Once you enter the center of the hurricane, it will be more stable!" Madam Liu Hua shouted loudly.

For a time, the sounds of "bang bang" rang out continuously on the flying boat.

The Xuan and Kui factions dared not hold back any longer. They all activated their respective cultivation methods, lighting up their Xuan Apertures one after another.

A bright white light erupted from the entire Star Falcon Flying Boat, illuminating the canyon as if it were daytime.

Only now did everyone realize that the previously beneficial situation for the flying boat had begun to change. The stellar power in their bodies was still leaking out, used to supplement and activate the Star Falcon restrictions on the ship.

At the same time, the brilliant Milky Way in the nine heavens seemed to echo this flying boat. The light of the stars flickered, and the two beams of starlight hanging down became thicker and more solid. When they landed on the wings of the Star Falcon Flying Boat, the light curtain enveloping the entire ship became even more solid. It was as if it corresponded to the sky, lighting up bright light spots as bright as stars.

With a "boom,"

The runes engraved on the wings of the Star Falcon Flying Boat shone brighter and brighter, and a large amount of white light surged out from them, condensing two huge stellar wings in the void.

As the wings emerged, the violently shaking Star Falcon Flying Boat finally stabilized a little. Relying on this suddenly strengthened force, it plunged into the hurricane and rushed through it, arriving at the eye of the hurricane.

The eye of the hurricane had a vast area. Inside, it seemed calm, but in reality, it was still fraught with danger.

As soon as the Star Falcon Flying Boat entered, the entire ship was immediately attracted by a huge force and plunged downwards.

Han Li frowned and looked down. Several hundred feet below the flying boat, he saw a scene of intense agitation where icy blue light and fiery red flames intertwined.

Below the confluence of water and fire was a black vortex that resembled a giant demon eye. The powerful attractive force emanated from it.

In an instant, the Star Falcon Flying Boat plummeted a hundred feet.

A powerful icy cold and scorching force surged up from below, and the people in the cabin immediately found themselves in a state of ice and fire, suffering greatly.

At this moment, a delicate shout rang out from the front of the Star Falcon Flying Boat.

Immediately afterward, four Golden Body Puppets flew out from the right side of the cabin, falling straight into the abyss.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Four sounds rang out almost simultaneously. It was as if something was supporting the bottom of the ship. With a heavy tremor, the flying boat's downward momentum slowed down.

Suspicious, Han Li leaned out to look. He saw a golden puppet man hanging from the rear of the ship.

He was holding the ship's hull with his right shoulder in a pose of a hegemon lifting a tripod. Dozens of snow-white lights lit up all over his body, each containing a beast core.

His legs were long gone, replaced by something like a Buddha's lotus platform. Streams of stellar power, like flames, spurted out from below, forming a powerful lifting force that allowed him to support the flying boat somewhat, preventing it from falling straight down.
