Lin Muxue and the others struggled to pull the boat forward in the biting cold wind. Sensing danger, a trace of unease flickered in Lin Muxue's eyes. She keenly noticed that the surrounding air had grown increasingly cold and filled with a sense of crisis, as an indescribable aura of danger quietly approached.
This feeling made her instinctively stop in her tracks. She looked toward the boat and frowned, saying, "Ye Yu, I sense danger. Let's get on the boat!"
Ye Yu glanced down at Lin Muxue and the others, his voice deep and firm, "Keep pulling the boat forward. Don't worry about it."
Lin Muxue and the others wore grim expressions. They knew that if they perished, Ye Yu would also lose the treasure of the four great Pirate Crews. Gritting their teeth, they endured the cold and continued to pull the boat forward with great difficulty.
After advancing a thousand meters, the aura of danger fully descended.
Everyone involuntarily stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky. There, in the originally azure sky, a massive swirling vortex suddenly appeared, radiating a dazzling purple light.
"It's a Purple Realm!"
"We've encountered a Mystic Realm!"
"No wonder there's such a strong sense of danger. A Mystic Realm is hidden here."
...
The crew members' faces lit up with joy. Compared to Ferocious Beasts and treasure, Pirates preferred encountering Mystic Realms, as they offered more experience.
Zhao Yan'er slightly furrowed her brows, her eyes revealing a hint of shock and seriousness. "No, to be precise, it's a purple-black Mystic Realm."
Hearing this, everyone looked up more carefully. Within the purple Mystic Realm, strands of black light flickered.
This discovery made everyone realize that the level of this Mystic Realm was higher than any Purple Realm they had encountered before, yet lower than a Black Realm.
The highest-level Mystic Realm that had appeared so far was the Celestial Meteor, a Golden Realm. However, due to its immense distance from this planet, it would not descend anytime soon. But this Mystic Realm was something they had to face right now.
Lin Muxue and the others were worried, not about whether the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew could pass through this Mystic Realm, but about the danger they themselves might face in the process. After all, judging from the aura emanating from this Mystic Realm, its difficulty was extremely high.
Ye Yu watched the swirling vortex with great interest. The dazzling Purple Realms he had encountered before had already been extremely challenging for him, and this purple-black Mystic Realm represented an even greater difficulty.
As he gazed at the vortex, a stream of information flooded his mind.
The reason no one had encountered this Mystic Realm before was that only a Pirate Crew with sufficient strength passing through this area could trigger it. Not every Pirate Crew had the qualifications to face it. Moreover, once triggered, only this Pirate Crew could participate, which made Lin Muxue and the others' expressions darken. It meant that this Mystic Realm was exclusive to the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew.
Lin Muxue silently prayed in her heart, hoping that the difficulty of this Mystic Realm would be so high that the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew could not pass it.
Soon, more information about this Mystic Realm became known. If they failed to pass through it, they could neither continue forward nor leave until they succeeded.
This Mystic Realm could be faced by the entire Pirate Crew together, making it a multi-person type.
In the next moment, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and an even colder aura swept over them. Many people couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if the blood in their veins was about to freeze.
Seeing the situation, Ye Yu arranged, "Low-ranking and regular crew members, take shelter in the heating cabins. Although this Mystic Realm can be faced by the entire Pirate Crew, not everyone can endure this level of cold."
The low-ranking and regular crew members quickly ran toward the heating cabins. They truly couldn't withstand this cold, feeling as if they were about to turn into ice sculptures.
Zhao Yan'er, noticing this, immediately activated her Flare-Flare Fruit ability. Flames surged around her, intending to provide warmth so that more crew members could participate in the Mystic Realm's challenge. However, after burning for ten seconds, the flames were frozen in place.
Xia Ling, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but exclaim, "This icy power is even stronger than my current Ice Fruit's capabilities."
Zhao Yan'er also realized that the low-ranking and regular crew members wouldn't be able to participate in this Mystic Realm challenge.
Lin Muxue and others, seeing this, also called out, wanting to head to the heating cabins.
"It's so cold, we need to go too."
Ye Yu said sternly, "Get back to the manure storage cabin. If you don't go back, stay here."
Lin Muxue's expression turned grim. She could only grit her teeth and head to the manure storage cabin. She felt that she had never been this angry and frustrated in her life as she had been these past few days.
In her heart, she continuously prayed, hoping that the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew would definitely not pass this Mystic Realm.
At that moment, the Mystic Realm opened.
In the sky ahead, a swirling vortex of icy blue appeared, continuously expanding until its diameter reached a full kilometer.
Everyone understood the challenge of the Mystic Realm: dense Ice Spears would fall from the vortex. To pass, they would have to face the Ice Spears within the area below the vortex. As long as one person successfully reached the height of the vortex, it would count as a pass. If they failed, Ice Spears would continue to fall all around, trapping them here indefinitely.
Upon hearing these rules, Lin Muxue secretly rejoiced. This way, if the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew couldn't pass, they would be trapped here. Time was crucial for a Pirate Crew, and being locked here for over ten days would be a significant blow to the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew. It would mean they couldn't search for treasure, hunt Sea Beasts or Ferocious Beasts, and their leveling progress would slow down considerably.
Lin Muxue sneered inwardly, "I hope they can't pass and get stuck here for over ten days. After all, this is a Purple-Black Mystic Realm. Even with Ye Yu, it won't be easy to pass."
At this moment, the members of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew all understood the challenge rules.
Ye Yu shouted, "Xia Ling, Combat Crew, Executives, Vice Captain, follow me into the Mystic Realm's area."
As soon as he finished speaking, the high-tier fighters of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew charged in.
Dense Ice Spears fell like rain, each one the size of an adult, with extremely sharp tips.
Entering the Mystic Realm's area, the temperature became even colder, so cold that no one wanted to extend their hands to attack. Even Ye Yu felt the chill.
Ye Yu reminded, "If anyone can't hold on, retreat."
As he spoke, he leaped up, facing the falling Ice Spears head-on. With a serious punch, infused with Flowing Sakura and Dominator Infusion, several Ice Spears shattered with a crack.
This result made Ye Yu realize that these Ice Spears were extremely hard and powerful. He warned in a serious tone, "Everyone, be careful. Each Ice Spear's power is no less than a top-tier prodigy's full-force strike. Combat Crew, attack together."
Everyone understood that since only one person needed to reach the top to pass, they naturally had to assist the Captain.
Zhao Yan'er declared firmly, "Attack with all your might to ease the Captain's burden. We can't let him face all the Ice Spears alone."
Upon hearing this, everyone unleashed their full power.
It took fifty Combat Crew members working together just to barely withstand one or two Ice Spears, truly feeling the terrifying difficulty of this Mystic Realm.
Lin Muxue, secretly watching from the cabin, thought with delight, "Even my Chosen One Pirate Crew would surely fail to pass. Not even an alliance of the four great Pirate Crews could manage it. This Mystic Realm is truly formidable. So, Ye Yu, you'll be stuck here for over ten days."
