Chapter 580 The Two Who Encountered a Shipwreck.
One year later.
On a shore, "Cough cough... What bad luck."
After an unknown amount of time, a figure on the shore slowly opened his eyes, and at the same time, he saw the azure sky.
It was Xuan Mo. In short, the only thought in his mind was that he was not dead, he was still alive.
As Xuan Mo regained consciousness, he felt sore all over. As his thoughts gradually returned to normal, he gently twisted his neck and looked around, only to find himself lying on a sea reef on the shore.
As his gaze moved, he saw a person lying not far away from him, and that was Mu Lin. However, Mu Lin was now mostly buried in the sand. If it weren't for the soul guide arm, he wouldn't have been able to see him at first glance.
At the same time, he looked towards the sea.
Not far away, the Dragon Soaring, which carried them, floated on the sea, but now it had become a pile of wreckage.
The front half of the Dragon Soaring appeared to be mangled beyond recognition from the impact, and more importantly, it was completely severed in half, rendering it unusable.
It's worth noting that Old Dimo had gone to great lengths to find the materials for the Dragon Soaring, and its scale of construction was astonishing. But to see it broken in half like this was a truly shocking sight, and right now, the section Xuanmo was looking at was completely upside down.
However, Xuanmo had no time to consider anything else; ensuring Mu Lin's safety was paramount. So, enduring the pain, he slowly got up.
Xuanmo went to the Soul Guidance Arm, grabbed it, and with a pull, dragged Mu Lin out of the yellow sand on the shore. However, Mu Lin's eyes were tightly closed, and he seemed not to be breathing.
Fearing for Mu Lin's safety, Xuan Mo quickly channeled some of his recovered soul power into Mu Lin's body.
At this moment, Mu Lin, who had been unconscious, was extremely weak. With Xuan Mo's warm soul power flowing in, every meridian in his body seemed to be awakened by the warmth.
"Cough cough... Where am I? Looks like I'm not dead yet."
Just after Xuan Mo stopped channeling his soul power, Mu Lin suddenly coughed violently, then spat out a mouthful of water. Opening his eyes, Mu Lin weakly surveyed the scene for a moment.
"You rascal, you're finally awake. Otherwise, I would have buried you right here on the beach!"
"Heh, I see you can't bury me then."
Mu Lin forced himself to sit up and moved his arms. Then he asked, "Brother Mo, where are we now?"
"I don't know." Xuan Mo arrived at the rocks by the sea.
"However, when we encountered the shipwreck, we were already close to the waters of the Sun and Moon Continent, so there's a high chance we've been swept to the Sun and Moon Continent by the tsunami."
After saying this, Xuanmo recalled their shipwreck, and his pupils involuntarily contracted. "But the power of nature is truly formidable; we were completely powerless against that shipwreck."
At this moment, Mulin also came to Xuanmo's side.
"But we're lucky; at least we're still alive."
The two sat on the reef, looking at the now calm sea, and Xuanmo's thoughts drifted back to a few days ago...
In the afternoon.
"Mulin, what happened? Weren't we supposed to reach the waters of the Sun and Moon Continent? How did this happen?"
After nearly a year of sailing, Xuanmo and Mulin had once again crossed the ocean, about to reach the Sun and Moon Continent again.
But this afternoon, the sky above the calm sea ahead of them had become dark and gloomy.
The distant sky, which had been a clear blue before, was now a beautiful green. In the blink of an eye, dark clouds gathered, and thunder and lightning roared.
"I don't know either."
Mu Lin gripped the helm tightly, while Xuan Mo stood on the foremost deck, gazing at the sky ahead, a sense of foreboding rising within him. He then took out a nautical chart and carefully compared it, but after only ten breaths, his expression turned grim.
"This is bad."
"What happened?"
Facing Mu Lin's question, Xuan Mo had already completed his Martial Soul Possession. His gaze was fixed on the surging waves of the sea, and his voice was deep and resonant. "We're not true navigators, and we've stumbled into an extremely dangerous sea. According to the nautical charts, this area is prone to very powerful tsunamis. When a tsunami strikes, the waves can reach over a thousand feet high, stretching from sea to sky, engulfing everything. If we're lucky enough to encounter one, we'll have to be prepared to perish at sea."
As soon as Xuan Mo finished speaking, Mu Lin arrived beside him, equally prepared. "It looks like it's here."
The pitch-black sky, initially covering hundreds of feet, was slowly expanding rapidly at a visible speed. Before long, the sky over the sea became as dark as night, as if a giant hand from the heavens had descended and enveloped the entire area.
As darkness fell, Xuanmo and his companion noticed the sea winds around them growing increasingly fierce, whipping up raging currents and creating towering waves. Waves crashed relentlessly towards the Dragon Soaring, only its immense size preventing it from being capsized. The waves, initially a meter high, instantly grew to tens of meters, far exceeding the magnitude of a typical tsunami.
It was a truly terrifying spectacle of strong winds, surging waves, and towering roars…
"Annihilation and Devouring Light!"
Facing the oncoming tsunami, a beam of purplish-black light erupted from Xuanmo's mouth, shattering the tsunami.
Even so, Xuanmo's expression remained unchanged. He knew that this tsunami was merely an appetizer.
"The main event is here! Mulin, get ready!"
The sea was as if a terrifying storm had struck. The waves surged and roared skyward, accompanied by muffled thunderclaps, initially occurring every few seconds, then several times per second, steadily increasing in intensity, seemingly foreshadowing impending doom. Countless thunderclaps pressed down on Xuanmo and his companions.
The vast, azure ocean instantly transformed into a dark, gloomy world, and their hearts sank.
Although their strength was considerable, they were no match for the overwhelming power of nature's tempestuous storm.
The oppressive atmosphere enveloped not only the sea and the Dragon Soaring, but also Xuanmo and Mulin.
"Is this the terror of this sea…?"
Although still far away and not clearly visible, Xuanmo could see that the space between the sea and the sky had been filled by a black tsunami.
As far as Xuanmo and his companion could see, there was only darkness. Upon closer inspection, they discovered it was a series of enormous black waves. These waves replaced the seamless blend of water and sky, forming a black wall that seemed to seal off the entire world. A tremendous roar was approaching from afar, like war drums beating in their hearts.
"They're here!"
