"It can't be that bad …. I just made a wish …." Wang Baole wailed inwardly. He could already tell that the lightning bolts this time, whether individually or in terms of area or power, far exceeded anything he had ever encountered before.
There was no way to compare the two of them. It was like comparing a pond to an ocean. Any one of the lightning bolts that appeared this time caused Wang Baole's heart to tremble, and he felt an intense sensation of deadly crisis.
"Will the paper man realize that it's because of me? Will he throw me out …?" Wang Baole looked just as shocked as everyone else, but inwardly, he was more nervous and wailing than everyone else combined.
Truth be told, he knew that the lightning bolts were after him. As long as the paper man threw him out, the ship would not be attacked by any more lightning bolts.
That was especially true when he saw that the starry sky around him had turned completely crimson. Innumerable lightning bolts rained down like the wrath of the Heavens. No matter how sturdy the ship was, it still began to tremble violently under the shocking sea of lightning.
It seemed as if it would break apart at any moment. That made Wang Baole even more nervous. As for the others on the ship, although they weren't as nervous as he was, they were also incredibly nervous and confused. They couldn't help but let out low cries of alarm.
"Could it be that an almighty figure from the Domain of the Stars is attacking?"
"That's impossible. Even an almighty figure from the Domain of the Stars wouldn't attack us. After all, all of our clans and organizations are powerful enough. If all of us work together … would an almighty figure from the Domain of the Stars dare to attack us?"
"Could it be that this is the only way to get to the Graveyard of Stars? But there's no record of it in the clan's ancient records."
Everyone was shocked. Their minds raced, and they had no choice but to make preparations to escape if the ship collapsed. The paper human cutout's expression became much more solemn. He waved his right hand, and a gentle light instantly enveloped the ship. It went up against the lightning bolts that were creeping in from all directions.
Rumbling sounds filled the air, deafening everyone. The Specter Ship trembled like never before, but in the end, it managed to withstand the wave of lightning.
However, before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief … the sea of lightning seemed to be enraged. It … gathered all of the lightning in the area, and once again charged toward the ship with an even more exaggerated and shocking momentum.
Seeing that, the paper human cutout let out a low growl, and a white glow emanated from its body. With a speed that it had never experienced before, it began to paddle the paper oars furiously. Therefore, the moment before the surrounding lightning gathered, the ethereal spirit boat's speed exploded, and it sped madly into the distance. It was so fast that Wang Baole and company on the boat felt extremely uncomfortable.
Blood seeped out of the corners of some of their mouths, and they had to hold on tightly to the objects around them. If they didn't, they would be flung off. The Specter Ship was finally able to avoid the sea of lightning. It seemed to have opened up a black hole, which it shot into. A moment later, it reappeared in the starry sky, far away from the sea of lightning.
However, the danger was not over …. Before Wang Baole could breathe a sigh of relief, lightning appeared in the previously calm starry sky. The sea of lightning chased after the ship, and from a distance, it seemed to move with incredible speed. Lightning bolts continued to descend onto the Specter Ship, causing it to tremble. The rumbling sounds around them grew even more shocking.
"It's not over yet!" Wang Baole wanted to cry, but no tears would come. Everyone else's faces were deathly pale as they watched the paper man furiously rowing the ship. Lightning bolts continued to descend. Thankfully, the Specter Ship was extraordinary, and the paper man seemed to be going all out. Despite its repeated teleportations, it was unable to shake off the sea of lightning. However, in the end, it wasn't trapped in the center of the sea of lightning.
However … the vast sea of lightning seemed to have locked onto the Specter Ship, and continued to pursue it. More than a month passed, and the sea of lightning continued to pursue it …. From a distance, it was possible to see the Specter Ship in front, and the sea of lightning behind it. It was a majestic sight, enough to cause waves of shock to batter the hearts of anyone who saw it.
It was even possible to get the misconception that the sea of lightning was part of the Specter Ship's divine ability. The lightning bolts that continued to descend onto the Specter Ship were like chains, causing the sea of lightning to spread out like a peacock's tail. It was a testament to how extraordinary the Specter Ship was.
However, this wasn't what Wang Baole wanted, nor was it what the dozens of prodigies on the sampan wanted. None of them spoke during this period of time. Their faces were pale, and even the masked woman's eyes were filled with fear. She couldn't sit still and meditate.
Similarly, extraordinary was not what the paper man wanted.
Wang Baole wasn't sure if he was imagining things, but it seemed to him that the paper man's forehead was covered with sweat. His heart trembled, and he swore to himself that he would never use the wishing bottle again.
"How is this a wishing bottle? It's a suicide weapon!!" Wang Baole's heart was filled with grief and indignation. Another half a month passed.
The sea of lightning … continued its relentless pursuit. At the same time, the Specter Ship slowed down and entered … a starry sky that was completely different from the others!
Wang Baole had no idea how it had entered. It seemed to have been teleported, or shuttled through. It was as if the starry sky around him had changed on its own in an instant.
It was a white starry sky. More accurately speaking, the starry sky was the color of a sheet of white paper. That was because … as far as the eye could see, the boundless expanse of the starry sky really did look like a sheet of white paper. That was especially true of the various planets that existed within the white starry sky. They were all … white paper!
At that moment, the Specter Ship slowly came to a stop in front of a gigantic, paper-white planet!
"Paper-White starry sky, paper-white planet! This is the gate to the Graveyard of Stars!!" Someone on the ship immediately cried out in excitement. The reason for their excitement was mostly because they felt that once they reached this place, the lightning might not appear.
But in reality … although the sea of lightning did not appear at first, it only took the space of a few dozen breaths for a crimson sea of lightning to descend upon the white starry sky. It spread rapidly from the distance toward the Specter Ship that Wang Baole was on.
"We're done for!" Wang Baole's eyes widened. The others around him could not help but wail. Perhaps there was something strange about the white starry sky where the gate to the Graveyard of Stars was located. It caused the crimson sea of lightning to stop behind the Specter Ship even though it chased after them. Although it looked terrifying, it did not drown the Specter Ship. Instead, bolts of crimson lightning continuously bombarded the Specter Ship.
This process lasted for half a month. During that time, Wang Baole and the others were incomparably nervous. Even the paper human cutout seemed to be standing there vigilantly.
Half a month later, in the distant white starry sky … a second Specter Ship suddenly appeared!
Then, a third, a fourth, and a ninth Specter Ship rapidly appeared. By then, Wang Baole understood that there was not just one Graveyard of Stars, but nine!
Therefore, he could not help but look at the other eight ships. He wanted to see if there were any powerhouses among the Chosen on them that he could not fight against. Wang Baole wasn't the only one. The others on the ship did the same. In fact … the Chosen on the other eight Specter Ships did the same. However, they all looked at the ship that Wang Baole and the others were on almost at the same time!
It was because … the ship that Wang Baole and the others were on was too shocking. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it had attracted the attention of the entire world. Many people were dumbfounded because in the white starry sky, the crimson sea of lightning was even more eye-catching than a torch in the dark night!
That was especially the case since they didn't know that the sea of lightning had been chasing the specter galleon the entire way. Because of the pressure emanating from the sea of lightning, they instinctively came to the conclusion that the specter galleon … was something incredible!!
Many people narrowed their eyes, and at the same time, such speculations arose in their hearts. "Could it be that there is a peerless Chosen on that ship who is using this method to intimidate us?"
