I Am Overlord Chapter 1719: Spatial Path

Chapter 1719: Spatial Path

A spatial path was different from a teleportation formation. A spatial path connected two places that were much farther from each other than the two places a teleportation formation could connect. Because of that, a spatial path was too unstable for a spatial node to be fixed. A spatial path was essentially something held together by G.o.d Realm power, creating a comparatively safe and stable path to bring these young G.o.ds to the outside domain.

Of course, the path wasn't completely devoid of dangers. It was merely safer than traversing through the raw, boundless s.p.a.ce. The 365 wars.h.i.+ps entered the path, and the young G.o.ds steered their wars.h.i.+ps with their G.o.d Realm energy. All of them wanted to reach the battlefield as quickly as possible and kill more aliens to become the young guild master.

Only upon entering the path did they notice that the spatial currents in the path were no ordinary spatial currents. Even with the wars.h.i.+p formations active, the wars.h.i.+ps were still rocking intensely. Fortunately for these young G.o.ds, none of them was a pushover. They each used their respective trump cards and broke through the spatial currents to enter stable s.p.a.ce.

As for Xiang Shaoyun's wars.h.i.+p, Purple Lightning Marquis was in charge of steering the s.h.i.+p. He did not wish to see Xiang Shaoyun falling behind anyone else. With his new cultivation level of seventh-stage Rebirth Realm, he was naturally able to move the wars.h.i.+p at a speed that was faster than many other wars.h.i.+ps.

"Purple Lightning, there is no rush. Let them go first," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Don't worry, overlord. I can do this. We won't lose to those fellows," said Purple Lightning Marquis.

Xiang Shaoyun said, "No. I want them to go first. We will take our time and let our people get used to the environment of outer s.p.a.ce. This will only benefit us when it is time to face the aliens."

Purple Lightning Marquis understood what Xiang Shaoyun meant. He nodded. "Alright. I'll do as you wish."

He then controlled his speed and slowed the wars.h.i.+p. Ling Ziruo and Song Tiandao, who had been traveling near Xiang Shaoyun, also slowed down. They asked Xiang Shaoyun through voice transmission if anything was wrong. After listening to Xiang Shaoyun's explanation, they agreed and slowed down alongside him, traveling at their own pace.

Of course, they weren't the slowest of all the wars.h.i.+ps. Traveling at a consistent speed, they started getting used to their new environment. As for the wars.h.i.+ps traveling ahead of all the others, it did not take them long to encounter trouble.

Roar!

Numerous terrifying roars erupted, causing the many humans to raise their eyebrows. Soon, countless figures appeared before them.

Someone cried out in alarm, "These are devouring locusts! Why are they in the spatial path?"

"These are beasts that reside in outer s.p.a.ce. They are ignoring the barrier around the spatial path and charging toward us."

"Stay calm. They might have the numbers, but they aren't strong compared with those in the same cultivation level. Just crush them."

"No, something isn't right. Look, there seems to be a leader among them. That leader seems powerful. I'm afraid its cultivation level isn't low. Do not be careless!"

...

These young G.o.ds were experienced cultivators who had encountered many dangers. They were able to remain calm as they attacked with their G.o.d Realm energies. However, there were too many devouring locusts. In outer s.p.a.ce, the locusts were akin to fish in water. Thus, only a small number of them were crushed by the humans, and the others managed to evade the attacks before launching counterattacks. Countless spatial attacks rained down on the humans, halting their advance.

"Hmph. A mere swarm of bugs? p.i.s.s off!" said a late-stage G.o.d on one of the wars.h.i.+ps. With a G.o.d-grade weapon in his hand, he attacked.

A G.o.d had boundless energy. A raging curtain of flame washed over the s.p.a.ce before the wars.h.i.+p, instantly killing a large number of the devouring locusts. The devouring locusts were infuriated and started focusing their attacks on the G.o.d.

Endless attacks rained down upon the G.o.d, creating a cage that was as destructive as the attack of a G.o.d. Additionally, several G.o.d Realm devouring locusts opened their terrifying maws and started devouring the wars.h.i.+p, displaying a terrifying level of strength.

With the wars.h.i.+p in trouble, the other G.o.ds on the wars.h.i.+p were forced to quickly attack the devouring locusts. The other wars.h.i.+ps ignored the wars.h.i.+p under siege and broke free from the devouring locusts. They were confident that nothing too bad would happen to that wars.h.i.+p. It would merely be slightly inconvenienced.

Even when Xiang Shaoyun and company arrived, they did not help either. They were sure that they would encounter more and more ferocious beasts. Sure enough, on their second day of travel, more ferocious beasts appeared.

Fortunately, these beasts did not appear in large numbers. Most of them moved alone or in pairs. All these beasts were in the G.o.d Realm, but the young G.o.ds were able to speedily get rid of them.

"Is this a simple test from the Guardians Guild?" wondered Xiang Shaoyun.

With the strength of the Guardians Guild, the spatial path they opened shouldn't be infested with so many ferocious beasts.

On the third day, waves of terrifying spatial currents a.s.saulted them, giving them the feeling that the spatial path itself could break apart, putting the young G.o.ds in panic.

It was then that Qin Jiu and Gongsun Sanyang displayed their extraordinary strength. With heaven-defying techniques, they stabilized the spatial path, protecting the many wars.h.i.+ps from further damage.

"Watch out, everyone. We will be traveling in this spatial path for half a month. More and more danger will appear during this period of time. Everyone must work together and focus on arriving at our destination first," said Qin Jiu.

In truth, even G.o.ds wouldn't be able to send their voice far away in outer s.p.a.ce. Thus, for Qin Jiu to be able to send his voice with such clarity to the other G.o.ds, one could only imagine how strong he was.

"That's right. Anyone who encounters a danger they can't solve is free to call out to me. Help will come immediately," said Gongsun Sanyang.

They were clearly trying to win the popular sentiment and court more support for themselves. Ji Feixian and Mo Du also offered to help, not intending to let Qin Jiu and Gongsun Sanyang hog the limelight.

"Young Master Xiang, are you not going to kindly offer your help as well?" asked Ling Ziruo.

"It's not easy to be a kind person. I'll act in accordance with the circ.u.mstances," said Xiang Shaoyun indifferently.

Not one of them was an idiot. Everyone knew what Qin Jiu and the others were trying to do. Only help that came during one's moment of danger would be remembered.

As time pa.s.sed, Xiang Shaoyun and company also encountered some dangers. Fortunately, with their strength, they were able to deal with the dangers without casualties. Some of the Saints with them were starting to realize how dangerous outer s.p.a.ce was.

On the seventh day, trouble came for all the human wars.h.i.+ps. A spatial tornado had appeared!
