1362 Unable to Enter or Leave

By the time Tian Yang and Huang Xiao Li arrived at the s.h.i.+p, the Swimming Dragon was already released from the docks and sailing towards the black wall a few miles away.

"Should we just ride the s.h.i.+p?" Huang Xiao Li asked Tian Yang, who could simply fly them to the s.h.i.+p.

"We"ll get closer to the s.h.i.+p, but we won"t board it just yet," he said, worried that something might happen once the s.h.i.+p reaches the wall.

"Okay."

Tian Yang carried her into the sky and chased after the s.h.i.+p.

A few moments later, the s.h.i.+p reached the wall, and Tian Yang watched as the Swimming Dragon crashed into the wall.

BANG!

The instant the front of the s.h.i.+p made contact with the black wall, an unfathomable force emanated from it, repelling the vessel. The Swimming Dragon soared out of the sea, hurtling dozens of miles into the continent before cras.h.i.+ng into the ground.

"..."

Tian Yang and Huang Xiao Li"s eyes were wide open after witnessing such a scene.

"I"m glad we didn"t get on that s.h.i.+p…" Huang Xiao Li mumbled in a dazed voice.

"Yeah…" Tian Yang nodded in agreement.

"What should we do now?" she asked a moment later.

"There"s nothing we can do but wait it out. The barrier should disappear once these experts slay the Colossal and accomplish their goal."

"Hopefully it won"t take too long…" she sighed.

After returning to land, Tian Yang and Huang Xiao Li sat on the ground and patiently waited for the dome to disappear.

However, waves of spiritual energy continued to appear even days later, and the black dome still enveloped the continent.

"This is getting ridiculous… How can they fight for days without rest?" Huang Xiao Li sighed out loud.

"These experts have unfathomable prowess. I cannot even tell what their cultivation level is." Tian Yang shook his head.

"Just to fight the Colossal requires one to be a Divine King, so they are at least above that level."

"Divine King… they are truly an existence unfathomable to us, who are still in the Spirit Realm."

Sometime later, Tian Yang suggested, "Since it looks like this will take a while, let"s return to the city."

"Okay."

When they arrived at the Southern Stronghold, Tian Yang was surprised to see how many people were in the city.

"I"ve never seen this place so crowded before. They can"t even walk around without constantly rubbing shoulders…" Huang Xiao Li was shocked by the scene.

Not only was the city br.i.m.m.i.n.g with people but there were also hundreds of individuals camping around the city on the outside.

"Should we also set up a tent outside?" Huang Xiao Li asked.

"I doubt we"ll be able to find a room in the hotel anyway." He nodded.

They quickly found an empty spot to set up their tent, something they"d purchased during the earlier days of their training.

As they prepared their tent, Tian Yang could hear the others around them talking to each other.

"I"m telling you, there are over a hundred Divine Realm cultivators fighting the Colossal! I saw it with my own eyes!"

"What were their cultivation levels?"

"I can only sense up to Divine Emperor, and out of the hundred or so experts fighting, I could only sense three Divine Emperors, so everyone else must be higher than Divine Emperor!"

"Heavens! This must be an all-out war with the Colossal!"

"Why are they even targeting the Colossal? It doesn"t even attack anyone unless provoked."

"It might be due to a certain rumor."

"What rumor?"

"According to the rumor, there exists an Immortal"s graveyard somewhere within the Desolate Continent. This Immortal was a Golden Immortal when he was still alive, so he must"ve left behind some insanely powerful treasure. Some even speculate that the Colossal has something to do with that Immortal—

that it might be the key to finding the Immortal"s graveyard."

"There"s no way!"

"How many cultivators have reached the realm of Golden Immortal since the beginning of time? Less than five! If this rumor is true, it would be a historical discovery!"

"Golden Immortal…" Tian Yang muttered after hearing this information.

During this period of time, Golden Immortal was the highest level of cultivation known to man, so it was literally the peak of cultivation.

"Do you think the rumors are true?" Huang Xiao Li asked out of curiosity.

"If it was true, it would make sense why these experts are so desperate to defeat the Colossal."

"Or they think that the Colossal might have some amazing treasure within its possession," he quickly added.

"Honestly, that would make more sense." Huang Xiao Li agreed.

A week later.

Tian Yang peeked at the sky from inside the tent after his cultivation session ended.

"It"s been two weeks now… Just how long does it take for a hundred Divine Realm experts to defeat a single opponent?" he sighed out loud.

Suddenly, someone could be heard shouting in a panicked manner, "Run! Run away! The fight with the Colossal is approaching our direction!"

"What?!"

"Xiao Li! Wake up! We have to leave right now!" Tian Yang shook her awake.

"Huh? What happened?"

"The Colossal is coming here!"

"What!"

As they exited the tent, a dark figure emerged on the farthest reaches of the horizon. Its size swiftly expanded, indicating its imminent approach.

Huang Xiao Li still recalled her first encounter with the Colossal as though it happened yesterday, and her body trembled upon seeing it again.

As they tore down their tent, Huang Xiao Li asked, "Which way should we go?"

"The Colossal appeared from the west, so we can only go east."

"What about the Teleportation Array? We can use that!"

However, someone else responded to her, "The Teleportation Arrays have stopped working ever since the barrier appeared! We can only move on foot!"

"That"s crazy…"

Once they packed their stuff, Tian Yang and Huang Xiao Li began running towards the Eastern Stronghold with hundreds of others moving in the same direction, resembling that of a village migration.
