Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 333 - 332 Death Island

Chapter 333: Chapter 332 Death Island

Thunder Clouds hung low, the ocean vast and boundless.

This sea region had been isolated from the world for tens of thousands of years.

Always, there have been people lost here, but no one has ever left alive.

Here, aside from the flashes of lightning and the thunderous roars, and the tumultuous, endless ocean, not even the sun, moon, or stars could be seen.

To discern the time of day, one could only rely on the ebb and flow of the tides to know that Earth had spun another round.

Do not venture out to sea at high tide; this has been the island adage of Death Island for ten thousand years.

"One day, I will leave this sea region. The books say that the sky outside is blue, that the sun’s warmth is particularly comforting when it shines on you."

"The books also mention lands beyond the sea that are bigger than Hope Island, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, blue skies and white clouds, and scenic mountains and clear waters."

"The world is so vast, I really want to go out and see it."

Beneath the Thunder Cloud Sky, at the edge of a vast island overgrown with strange plants, there sat a girl on the seaside rocks, chin in hands, her dark eyes staring, lost in thought at the giant bones of giant creatures in the distant sea.

"They say that once you surpass the Skeleton Islands, you can leave Hope Island. I must leave."

Yearning filled the girl’s eyes as she revealed a sweet smile. Never having been kissed by the sun in her life, her skin and hair were both snow-white, but as she smiled, two delicate dimples graced her cheeks, giving her elegant face an added touch of cuteness.

"Give it up, no one has ever left Death Island. The dangers are many among the Skeleton Islands. To enter is to embrace death."

From beneath the rocks behind the girl, a boy’s figure flickered, appearing suddenly with the swiftness of lightning, despite his young age. His white hair and snow-white skin matched the girl’s as he gazed across the surging waves at the distant sea, his expression one of worry: "It’s odd. Uncle and the others who went out to fish always return early. What’s happening today? The tide is almost high, and there’s still no sign of them. Could it be..."

A flicker of worry passed through the boy’s eyes, his expression turning anxious.

High tide, do not set out to sea.

This was the unchanging rule of Death Island, known to all for eons.

But today...

"Li Gui, don’t talk nonsense. Uncle Li and the others will be fine; they will definitely return before the tide rises," the girl interjected, standing up, her gaze fixed on the distance.

On the horizon, one could faintly make out the ghastly giant white bones and a swath of blackness starting to appear along the skyline.

"Not good, the tide is coming in! Uncle Li and the others must be safe, otherwise..." Worry crossed the girl’s face.

As the endless blackness on the horizon drew nearer, the girl’s concern deepened, and she began to stand on tiptoe, searching the ocean.

"Over there!" Suddenly, Li Gui cried out, pointing towards the distant sky, and in an instant, he turned into a dark streak of light, dashing across the surface of the water, rushing forward upon the waves.

"Not good, the Black Tide is catching up to them, what’s happening!"

At that moment, the girl also saw the darkness on the distant horizon, cried out, and a sudden surge of Primordial Qi around her transformed into a blaze of white light, instantly shooting towards the sea.

Such speed, such strength!

From the burst of Primordial Qi just now, this girl was at least of the Refining God Realm in her cultivation!

Deep in the ocean, near Bone Island, an ancient wooden ship moved rapidly through the wind and waves.

This ship was rather unique; it was huge and seemed to have seen many years.

Yet, it was able to move steadily through the storm.

On the ship’s prow, a nearly decayed Huaxia ancient character ’Ming’ could be faintly seen. On the deck, a hundred or so men with flashing blue eyes and long hair streamed down to their waists; they worked seriously and orderly on the ship.

On the deck, dozens of people lay in various expressions, dressed in modern attire, plunged into the depths of an Illusion Technique!

"Uncle, what... what’s going on?" Ten minutes later, Li Gui finally boarded the wooden ship. Surprised to see a ship full of people confused by illusions and wearing strange clothes, he ran to a bare-chested helmsman steering at the bow.

Before the helmsman could answer, a sailor’s shout came from behind: "The Black Tide is catching up!"

Everyone was shocked and looked back.

Behind the Ancient Ship, not far off, was an endless black tide, crossing the Skeleton Islands, directly chasing after the Ancient Ship.

At this speed, it would catch the ship in no more than a quarter of an hour.

The faces of all aboard the ship changed.

At that moment, there was a flash of white light, and the young girl had also leaped on board. Looking back at the black sea water, her face was extremely grim.

Without any hesitation, she leaped again, flying towards the back of the Ancient Ship.

"Lan Xinxin, what are you doing, come back!" The bare-chested helmsman was stunned and let go of the helm, about to chase after the girl.

"Let me go!"

A figure flashed, and Li Gui took the lead, chasing after Lan Xinxin.

"What are you doing!"

Behind the Ancient Ship, Li Gui leaped into the air, and stepping onto the waves, he grabbed Lan Xinxin’s hand intending to leave.

"Push the ship! Otherwise, it will be caught by the Black Tide. This is an ancient ship a thousand years old, a legacy of our ancestors!" Lan Xinxin did not heed Li Gui, her Primordial Qi surged, and suddenly she struck the rear of the Ancient Ship with her palm.

"Boom!"

This palm was continuous and powerful, but not very destructive.

With one palm strike, the Ancient Ship instantly sped up, and with that palm, a lot of weeds on the body of the ship’s stern were swept away, revealing the words "Great Ming."

"Ah!"

Li Gui of course knew that the ship was left by the ancestors. Legend had it that the ancestors were members of a mighty nation’s fleet, and ships like this, hundreds of them, ended up here after accidents, rescued by people who had long been trapped in these parts.

This ship was their only recognition of the outside world, as well as the only proof of their heritage.

"Together!"

Li Gui grit his teeth and immediately circulated his Primordial Qi, erupting with great power, and lunged forward vigorously, pushing the ship forward.

Another Refining God Realm youth!

With both of them taking action, the Ancient Ship indeed widened the gap with the Black Tide and began to become safer.

"Eh, there’s someone over there!"

Suddenly, Lan Xinxin caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye, noticing a human-shaped shadow bobbing up and down with the water far out at sea.

"That’s impossible, this is the Sea of Death, there can’t be any living people in the sea."

Li Gui answered instinctively, but when he turned his head, he was stunned for a moment: "It seems there really is someone... however, he’s about to be caught by the Black Tide, he’s as good as dead."

After speaking, Li Gui turned back and struck the stern of the ship with another palm.

But Lan Xinxin was looking at the distant shadow. A flicker of different colors crossed her pretty face, and for some reason, an impulse surged in her heart: "No, he’s not dead yet!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Xinxin flashed and rushed toward the direction of the shadow.
