Chapter 1720: Spatial Tornado

A spatial tornado was one of the most dangerous phenomena that could occur in outer space. It was comparable in might to the calamities that might occur in the dominion. The spatial tornado was capable of devouring all life, and not even God Realm powers could easily stop one.

The moment the spatial tornado appeared, the few warships ahead of the others were instantly swallowed into nothingness. The other humans started panicking. The spatial tornado had appeared too suddenly. It was also terrifyingly powerful. Not even the many Gods could do anything to it in time. The moment one was swallowed, death was basically guaranteed. Their journey to the battleground at the outside domain seemed to have become much more difficult.

"Everyone, stop! Wait until the spatial storm has passed before resuming the journey," someone shouted.

"No, the spatial tornado is approaching us! Its devouring force is too strong. We need to retreat!" someone else shouted.

"Everyone, do not be afraid. Let's work together and destroy the spatial tornado!" shouted a different person.

The spatial tornado had given many of them a fright. They all activated their warship formations, protecting themselves from being pulled into the tornado. Xiang Shaoyun, Ling Ziruo, and Song Tiandao rejoiced that they had not traveled at the front of the human expedition. Otherwise, things would have ended poorly for them. However, they were still faced with the difficult choice of either advancing or retreating.

"Let's retreat for now. It's now or never," said Ling Ziruo.

The tornado was not something anyone could resist. Only peak Gods would be strong enough to tear it apart.

Song Tiandao also shouted, "This is not something we can contend against. We need to retreat."

Just as they were about to start retreating, Xiang Shaoyun shouted, "Follow my ship. Do not retreat. I can charge through the storm."

Both Ling Ziruo and Song Tiandao were flabbergasted at how much of a risk Xiang Shaoyun was taking. At this time, Xiang Shaoyun had taken over the steering of his warship. As he channeled all his energy into the warship, he steered it ahead.

Ling Ziruo hesitated, but Song Tiandao roared, "Fine, madman. I'll take this gamble with you!"

Then, Song Tiandao's warship advanced with Xiang Shaoyun's. The two warships traveled in a single connected line as they advanced rapidly.

"Fine, I'll trust you this time," said Ling Ziruo as she clenched her teeth and made her choice. She steered her warship to move into the line, advancing toward the tornado with Xiang Shaoyun and Song Tiandao.

All the other warships were retreating, including the warships of Qin Jiu and Gongsun Sanyang. Thus, they were all stunned when they saw Xiang Shaoyun and company advancing instead of retreating.

"Are they trying to kill themselves?" muttered Qin Jiu as he narrowed his eyes.

"Madman. Does he really believe that he can charge through with God Realm power alone? The tornado is powerful enough to break space itself apart. The moment one is pulled inside, one will be transported to an unknown location or die immediately. How can someone not in the Reincarnation Realm survive the tornado?" said Gongsun Sanyang.

"I did not expect Ling Ziruo to go mad like Xiang Shaoyun. What a pity," said Ji Feixian with a sigh.

"Just die. It would be better for all of them to die!" said the Celestial War King in excitement.

However, was Xiang Shaoyun really courting death? That was naturally not the case. He was only charging forward because he was confident in himself. His eyes shone brightly as two rays of light pierced through layer upon layer of obstruction. The entirety of the spatial tornado was laid bare before his eyes.

"A spatial tornado is an amalgamation of unstable spatial currents. The true source of a spatial tornado is a spatial magnet. So long as one can break free of the magnetic force, one will be able to break through a spatial tornado," muttered Xiang Shaoyun under his breath.

When the three warships approached the tornado, the expressions of everyone on the ships changed when they sensed their warships rocking violently. The destructive power all around them filled them with despair.

Even Xiang Yangzhan couldn't help but roar, "Kid, you better not disappoint everyone!"

All these were people with rich experience in life. Even so, they still felt fear when faced with an unstoppable spatial power like this tornado.

"Everyone, hold steady!" Xiang Shaoyun shouted as a powerful force erupted from his body. A chaotic magnetic field appeared around the three warships. The field repelled the power of the tornado around them, causing the three ships to remain at the fringe of the tornado instead of being pulled directly inside as they passed.

Everyone in the three warships felt a sense of despair when they approached the tornado. Most of them were mere Saints. They were completely helpless before the tornado. Being pulled into the tornado would practically be death for them.

And then, a miracle unfolded before their eyes. With his own strength, Xiang Shaoyun brought the three warships through the tornado. The many young Gods gazing from afar were stunned. They couldn't understand how Xiang Shaoyun had accomplished that feat.

"Th-they really managed to get through the tornado. I'm not seeing things, right?"

"No, you're not. They really did get through. Xiang Shaoyun did that. Just what kind of power did he use to accomplish that? It's unbelievable."

"Looks like we have all underestimated Xiang Shaoyun. That fellow does have some neat tricks up his sleeve."

"Perhaps the tornado is the reason? We might have failed to discover the secret of the tornado, so we weren't able to get through?"

"Study the tornado! We can't keep retreating. There must be a way for us to get through as well!"

...

Xiang Shaoyun's successful breakthrough caused all the young Gods to realize how extraordinary he was. They were unwilling to retreat just like that, so their motivation to get through the tornado intensified.

"How did that kid do it?" muttered Qin Jiu with a frown.

"Young master, he used the power of a magnetic field," remarked an old man beside Qin Jiu.

"You mean he used an opposing magnetic force to get through? That's way too risky," said Qin Jiu.

"That's the proof of his confidence," said the old man.

"We'll do the same. We can't fall behind him!" said Qin Jiu.

He then gathered several warships to charge ahead alongside him. The other warships belonged to his allies; there was no way he was going to advance without them. Gongsun Sanyang also had someone with sharp eyes by his side. Thus, he gathered his allies and approached the tornado.

However, their warships were unable to pass through the tornado as easily as Xiang Shaoyun had. They were nearly swallowed by the tornado. If it wasn't for their top experts forcefully repelling the magnetic force in the tornado with God Realm powers, they wouldn't have been able to get through at all.

"Damn you, Xiang Shaoyun! I will make sure you have a terrible time here!" cursed Qin Jiu. When going through the tornado, he had been so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. With his strength, he could always force a way through. But it was rather difficult to protect so many warships as they advanced together. Fortunately, he still had powerful helpers by his side.

"Looks like I now have an additional powerful competitor," muttered Gongsun Sanyang.

After they managed to get through the tornado, the other young Gods started stirring. They were unwilling to fall behind, so they also attempted to charge through the tornado. Unfortunately, they failed. One after another, they were swallowed by the tornado. Their fates remained unknown.

When the others saw, they had no choice but to wait around until the tornado passed before continuing on with their journey.

Meanwhile, the aliens had already appeared on the outside domain battlefield.
