Before Xiao Yan and the others, a storm formed by a subtle silver spatial energy surged forth, not particularly large but precisely sealing off the entire passage. The powerful suction emanating from within the silver storm caused Xiao Yan's spatial ship to tremble continuously, as though it were about to collapse. "A spatial storm..." Xin Lan's face grew pale as she gazed at the silver storm raging through the passage, murmuring to herself. She had never expected this most unfortunate event to finally unfold. "This is indeed a spatial storm... quite formidable. Such a vast concentration of spatial energy is difficult even for Douzong-level masters to manifest." Xiao Yan fixed his gaze steadily upon the silver storm, which surged like a great serpent, speaking slowly. "What should we do now?" Xiao Yixian furrowed her brows, asking. "We'll have to force our way out. Based on my guess, we're not far from the exit. As soon as we reach it, we'll be clear of the spatial storm." Xinlan forcibly steadied her growing fear and spoke. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's brow furrowed slightly as he gazed at the spatial storm gradually closing in on them. After a moment, he sighed and said firmly, "Little Healer, get ready to charge ahead. You'll protect the ship's hull; I'll manage the speed!" "Understood." The Little Healer nodded briefly, said nothing more, and gently drifted back. A powerful surge of qi poured out in waves, soon transforming into a massive gray-purple energy serpent, several dozen feet long, which completely enveloped the ship. The great serpent then roared skyward. "Go! Zǐyán, Xinlan—hold on tight!" "A deep roar issued from Xiao Yan's mouth. With a sweeping motion of his sleeve, a surge of powerful qi flowed into the spatial ship, transforming into a fierce thrust that propelled it forward like a bowshot arrow, shooting out with a sharp *whoosh*. Once its speed was maximized, the spatial ship had nearly become a faint silver silhouette, gliding across kilometers in a single flash before colliding headlong into the raging silver storm. Feeling the terrifying ripping force emanating from the spatial storm, Xiao Yan's expression grew increasingly grim. Fortunately, Xiao Yi was strong and resilient; if it had been anyone else, they might have truly struggled to withstand such spatial tearing. Nevertheless, even Xiao Yi could only hold on for so long. Therefore, they had to break through this dreadful place as soon as possible. With that thought flashing through his mind, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth fiercely and unleashed another surge of powerful qi. The speed of the space vessel gradually reached its peak, with delicate silvery spatial energies flickering like electric sparks across its surface. Amidst the immense spatial storm, the vessel's slender form was nearly insignificant. Even as Xiao Yan pushed the vessel's speed to its utmost limit, the spatial tearing forces only intensified, growing ever more terrifying. Eventually, the gray-purple energy serpent encircling the vessel began to fade and lose its solidity—clearly, even the skilled Little Doctor was struggling to fully withstand such violent spatial suction. "Zi Yan, help her!" As the vessel's vibrations grew increasingly severe, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and he spoke firmly. Hearing Xiao Yan's command, Zi Yan didn't waste a single word. With swift movements, she quickly formed a series of intricate hand seals, after which a stream of unusual purple crystalline radiance surged forth from within her body. As this radiance flowed, her petite frame suddenly grew taller at an astonishing pace, and her cascade of purple hair swelled like wild grass, rapidly expanding into a long, flowing mane of deep purple that cascaded down to her swaying, full hips. In this critical moment, Zi Yan directly activated a secret technique, elevating her strength to its peak. With her now transformed into a stunning, curvaceous beauty with flowing purple hair, the aura radiating from her intensified dramatically, eventually reaching a point where it seemed to subtly surpass Xiao Yan's. "Concentrate the soul!" A crisp cry issued from Zi Yan's lips, and brilliant purple light erupted directly from her forehead, gradually coalescing into the form of a magnificent, towering spirit beast. Due to the sheer brilliance of the light, the creature's exact appearance remained somewhat indistinct. As soon as the purple spirit beast appeared, it roared skyward with a thunderous, earth-shaking cry. The sound transformed into a continuous wave of pale purple energy, radiating outward in all directions, effectively countering the tearing forces of the spatial storm. With Zi Yan's aid, Xiao Yi's pressure instantly eased. Her face, once tense, relaxed as she swiftly focused her mind to mend the energy great serpent torn apart by the spatial forces. Though the ship's vibrations gradually stabilized, Xiao Yan's expression softened slightly, yet his mind remained far from at ease. He knew the storm's tearing power would only grow more intense—this was merely the beginning. Steady as Xiao Yan had anticipated, the calm did not last long. A more violent turbulence surged once again, with the furious spatial forces bursting forth like serpents of venom from the storm, swiftly striking and devouring the energy giant serpent encircling the ship. Under the force of this powerful surge, the creaking sounds inside the spatial vessel grew increasingly intense. As the purple glow of this aura appeared, an extraordinary scene unfolded—those numerous surging spatial forces that had rushed in were suddenly forcefully rebounded by the crystal radiance, then colliding with the subsequent waves of spatial energy, producing a series of explosive crackles that distorted the otherwise empty space. The purple crystal glow proved immensely powerful, yet it seemed to impose a heavy toll on Zi Yan as well. After only a few minutes of sustained brilliance, the glow shattered, and Zi Yan emitted a low, dull gasp, a thin stream of blood trickling from her lips. Her gem-like eyes dimmed slightly. As soon as the exit came into view, before even Xiao Yan and the others could express their astonishment, an exceptionally terrifying spatial force slammed hard against the hull of the ship. The sheer magnitude of this force would have likely caused the ship to shatter had it not been for Xiao Yixian’s determined efforts to stabilize it. A low roar issued from Xiao Yan's throat, veins of jade green rising like earthworms across his face, pulsing with fiery vitality that surged into the ship's hull, slightly increasing its speed. As the space vessel's pace improved, the suction force emanating from the storm intensified dramatically, and for a moment, the two forces balanced each other—steadily, the massive space storm began to move toward Xiao Yan and his companions' position. With Ziyan stepping in, Xiao Yan's shoulders trembled, and his massive bone wings unfolded. Then, as his wings moved, he directly flew out of the space ship—right into Yinlan's stunned gaze—landing at the very stern of the vessel. With a sweeping motion of his sleeve, a powerful gust surged forth from within, striking the ship's hull and forcefully pushing it outward. At the moment the ship was pushed away, a counterforce momentarily halted Xiao Yan's body. Fortunately, his reflexes were swift—he activated brilliant flashes of lightning on his feet, and beneath a deep rumble of thunder, his bone wings flapped furiously, countering the growing suction from behind. His form then surged forward, chasing after the space ship. The suction emanating from the space storm behind grew increasingly intense. With Ziyan alone, it was clearly difficult to maintain speed, and Xiao Yixian had to prioritize protecting the ship's integrity. As a result, the space ship, once pushed away, began to retreat slightly. "Damn it!" Xiao Yan's face turned crimson, his veins pulsing with intensity. With a powerful flap of his bone wings, he reappeared at the stern of the spatial vessel. Roaring in fury, he thrust his arms against the hull, propelling himself forward with fierce momentum. Then, with a final surge, the spatial vessel transformed into a streak of silver light and shot out, instantly reaching the end of the corridor before vanishing into the shimmering glow. "Whoosh!" A massive silver spatial force, as wide as a dozen paces, surged forth like a silver serpent from the top of his head, striking the exit with tremendous force and causing a burst of brilliant silver light. As the silver light erupted, Xiao Yan suddenly sensed a force of suction intensifying dramatically behind him. Startled, he flailed his bone wings and, with all his strength, transformed into a streak of silver light, crashing headlong into the shimmering silver channel. The plaza was unusually quiet. Suddenly, a strong wind burst forth without warning, and at the very center of the plaza, a silver circular glow appeared. A ship's silhouette flashed into view, then rapidly shrank, finally settling down with three disheveled figures stepping out. As these three landed, the silver glow gently faded away. "Little Doctor and Zi Yan both exclaimed in unison. "Indeed, he has arrived, but it seems the spatial passage was shifted at the very last moment. Therefore, he must have been randomly transported to some place in the Central Plains. As for exactly where—well, I... I don't know." The hesitant tone of Xin Lan's voice immediately caused both of them to grow stiff, their bodies slowly going rigid.
