As soon as Wang Baole flew up into the air, he understood why the first batch of Chosen had been so shaken, and why some of them had been so unprepared, and had nearly fallen into the sea of black paper.
It was because there was an intense pressure up above. To Wang Baole, that pressure made him feel as if an enormous mountain had suddenly crushed down onto him. Even someone as powerful as him trembled, and although he didn't sink down, his Cultivation base was thrown into chaos.
"It's not just the weight, it's also affecting my Cultivation base!" Wang Baole's eyes narrowed. However, he was not ordinary to begin with, and was able to withstand the weight. In fact, if he had slowed down a bit, and allowed his Cultivation base power to stabilize, the effect of the pressure would have been lessened.
However, it was clear that … the test wouldn't be so simple. As these thoughts surfaced in Wang Baole's mind, he saw that a thousand feet ahead of him, among the first batch of cultivators who had flown out, those who had been slower, began to wobble. There were even three or four of them who had almost fallen into the sea. Although they had managed to regain their balance, they began to tremble again. There was even a look of fear on their faces as they fell into the sea of paper again.
Among the four people who fell this time, although three of them managed to recover, there was still one who was unlucky. He could have recovered and started walking again, but the moment he fell, a huge wave rolled up and directly enveloped him. Even if he struggled madly, he could not change the outcome of his legs turning into black paper before the naked eye!
He screamed miserably as he lost control of his body and was completely submerged. In the space of a few breaths, his body was transformed into a black paper person, which then vanished into the waves.
The sight of it caused everyone to tremble. Wang Baole's face flickered. As for the other three who had nearly fallen into the sea of paper, their faces were pale, and their eyes filled with terror. None of them dared to continue onward, and instead, began to fall back.
As a result, the first group of seventy to eighty people was immediately divided into groups. The first group was obviously made up of the masked woman and the other three. They had already flown to a distance of nearly ten thousand feet. The second group behind them had about fifty people. Although their speed was clearly much slower, they were cautious and seemed to be able to last for a period of time.
As for the others … now that they saw someone die, they did not dare to fly. Their expressions kept changing, and they were in a dilemma.
At the same time, the second and third batches of Chosen began to fly out. They had also seen what was happening, but if they didn't leave the ship, they would still fail. Therefore, they might as well give it their all!
Everything made Wang Baole wary. He was about to unleash his speed in mid-air when the masked female cultivator and the other three cultivators, who were furthest away, suddenly stopped moving ten thousand feet away. Even though they quickly regained their speed, a glimmer flashed across Wang Baole's eyes.
That was especially true when he sent his Divine Sense out to observe the others. Wang Baole was immediately able to determine that the pressure … would increase with each increase in speed and distance. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that it would be more difficult to maintain normal speed!
"No wonder the requirement was five days!"
If I want to maintain the speed at which I can reach the shore within five days, I'm afraid that the pressure I'll face in the end will reach an extremely frightening level … Wang Baole took a deep breath. Even though the difficulty was there, he still felt that he should be able to do it. With a flick of his body, he unleashed a sudden burst of speed. Even though the pressure increased abruptly, and the impact on his cultivation increased instantly, it still couldn't restrict his movements. Within a few breaths, he was already more than five thousand feet away.
That scene made him stand out among the crowd, causing many people behind him to reveal looks of shock. Even the masked woman and her three companions in front of him tilted their heads slightly and looked at Wang Baole.
Actually, if this sort of explosive speed could be maintained, it would only take a few breaths of time before Wang Baole caught up with them. Although they were confident that they wouldn't fall behind, if Wang Baole caught up with them, they would have to admit that he was qualified to keep pace with them.
"Who is this guy!?"
"This speed is too fierce!"
All sorts of thoughts ran through the minds of the onlookers. However … things were developing in a completely different way than they had imagined. Wang Baole was filled with confidence, and was just about to summon a spurt of energy to catch up with the masked woman and the other three … when suddenly, the hair on his body stood on end as a bolt of crimson lightning appeared out of nowhere right in front of Wang Baole!
"What the hell!?!?" Wang Baole shrieked. He immediately recognized the lightning as a side effect of the wishing bottle. He backed up at top speed, but was too late, and the lightning slammed into him.
Wang Baole let out a bloodcurdling scream as he was nearly thrown into the black sea. He barely managed to withstand the force of the lightning, and his body trembled. His eyes filled with madness, and the rage in his heart reached a peak.
"You devious bastard!!!" He roared. It was obvious that this lightning bolt had been lying in wait for quite some time. When Wang Baole had left the ship, it hadn't attacked him, and it hadn't attacked him when he was in midair. It had been waiting for Wang Baole to explode with speed.
That feeling made Wang Baole feel that the lightning was extremely sinister. His vigilance towards its viciousness was immediately raised to the maximum. However, just as he was about to explode in anger, dozens of red lightning bolts appeared in the distant sky instantly. Behind them, hundreds of blurry lightning bolts were also brewing. If one were to take a closer look in the distance, they could see that there were tens of thousands or even more lightning bolts, all of them ready to strike.
Wang Baole blinked a few times, then let out a howl of anguish. His rage instantly turned into fear, and he unleashed all the power he could muster to shoot toward his Fallen Star Boat, which was about 1,500 meters away.
Dozens of crimson lightning bolts chased after him. When the onlookers saw what was happening, they stared in shock. Even the first group of people off in the distance had looks of astonishment on their faces.
"Don't tell me that in addition to the pressure and cultivation base chaos, there's also Tribulation Lightning in this first test!?!?"
"What's going on? Why is it only targeting him?"
"This lightning bolt … looks a little familiar …"
Amidst the confusion, some of the prodigies who had been on the same boat as Wang Baole suddenly understood what was going on. Li Linzi, who was inside the boat, reacted the same way. Anger flashed in his eyes as he roared.
"Xie Dalu, so it was you who attracted these lightning bolts!!!"
The other people who had been on the same ship as Wang Baole were also glaring at him angrily. However, Wang Baole wasn't in the mood to bicker with them. As he sped along, the dozens of lightning bolts chased after him, and he returned to the ship.
There weren't many cultivators left on the ship. There were only seven or eight of them, and they all looked a little anxious. It wasn't that they didn't want to leave, but they felt that with their cultivation bases, it would be very difficult for them to reach the shore after leaving.
The entrance test seemed simple, but in fact, in the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain, 99% of the cultivators at the perfected Spirit Immortal realm would fail to pass!
Therefore, they didn't pay much attention to Wang Baole's return. Instead, they gathered together and spread out their cultivation bases. It was as if they wanted to rely on everyone's efforts to suppress the spreading resentment and delay the process of the ship turning into paper as much as possible. Then, they could use it to move forward.
In fact, they weren't the only ones who did this. Some of the cultivators on the other ships also chose this method. However, the results weren't ideal. At that moment, more than half of the ship Wang Baole was on had turned into black paper. It didn't look like it could hold on for much longer. However, at that moment, Wang Baole's body suddenly landed. The moment he landed, the dozens of red lightning bolts that chased after him also descended with a boom and struck the ship.
The entire ship trembled slightly. Just like before, there wasn't much of a reaction. It seemed to be able to resist the power of the lightning. However … the black sea of resentment that coiled around the ship reacted like a mouse that had seen a cat. It instantly retreated. Some parts of the ship couldn't even dodge in time, and after being struck by the lightning bolts, what sounded like screams of pain could be heard. The resentment dissipated immediately, and the exposed areas of the ship were restored to their original state at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Everyone on the ship stared in shock. Even the Chosen up in midair were staring with wide eyes, expressions of disbelief and incredulity on their faces.
Even Wang Baole himself was stunned for a moment. His eyes lit up instantly, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Li Linzi, who had just shouted at him in mid-air and was now dumbfounded. He snorted disdainfully.
"Idiot, this is me casting a spell to purify the entire Black Sea and return light to this world!" With that, he raised his right hand and pretended to form a hand seal as he calmly said, "Idiot, this is me casting a spell to purify the entire Black Sea and return light to this world!"
"Divine Might Dao Lightning, come!"
