Chapter 27 - The Vermilion Arch (part 2)...

Wang Leiting look at the environment around him in complete silence, he couldn't help but curse his luck.

This realm open into boundless ocean, but the sea not only stretch below - it curves above like ceiling.

It creating an atmosphere of extreme, a globe like structure of water with air bubble inside which let him breath.

In the ocean a giant banner can seen which say -- The Tempest Abyss..

"Where strom and sea become one, only those who master both may rise from the drowning skies"

Inside this endless ocean sky rages a perpetual strom- typhoons twist across the sea, lightening split the cloud.

Waves spiral upward as though defying the gravity, floating ruins of drowned palaces shattered around drifting in strom.

Gravity was almost nonexistent here he sometime sink in water or "fall" upward into the sky water.

Yinmin prank consist of making them fly up or fall sideway but never into water luckily he know how to swim or else he had died.

Caocao stood timidly among the dense forest like place, the roots moving around like they are alive.

The Verdant Bastion...

"Root pierce stone, stone shield root - together, they form an unyielding fortress of life"

The realm is a colossal mountain range, but it's cliffs and peaks are overgrown with colossal tree.

The trees root crush boulders and whose branches stretch into the clouds, the air is heavy with moss and sap.

Caocao witness something shocking infront of her the earth constantly shift and grow like a living creature cliff rise and valleys sink.

Everything happened infront of her eyes the change, the rise, the fall everything seem magical yet terrifying.

Some areas grow faintly with bioluminescent moss illuminating the root tunnels beneath the mountains.

When she start walking at some distance the tree roots trust from the ground blocking her path.

No matter where she go those root will came out to block her way, under the ground from side or from the wall they try to stop her.

But she also know that if she want to leave this place she had to find a way on her own self which going to be tough.

Zhang Jiutian look at the beautiful yet terrifying view infront of her eyes, it's seem beautiful yet living hell at same time.

The Scorched Glacier....

"Flames devours, frost preserves - between them lies the razor's edge of survival"

The realm open into a land divided into two extreme: on one side, volcanic chasms, rivers of molten lava, and Strom's of ash.

On the other side, towering snow mountain peaks, frozen glacier, pouring blizzards, and frozen sea.

Where the two halves meet, the atmosphere become unstable but it was never stable to begin with.

Lava freeze into obsidian into mid flow and glaciers crack under sudden firestorm, the air itself felt weird.

The air itself burns and freeze at alternative waves- breath sears the lungs, then freeze into crystal.

When she saw the burning volcano a daring idea appear in her mind, she took a deep breath but end up burning her lungs.

She cough and cover her nose to prevent ash entering her nose, she walk toward the valcano.

As she go near the valcano temperature increase dramatically her clothes completely wet from sweat.

But it didn't stop her from moving her skin start burning from the temperature she grit her teeth and continue.

Suddenly a voice filled pain echo in her mind making her stop, thinking it as illusion to continue her journey.

But...." Stop stop don't go any further I will completely melt huhuhu please" she jump in fright looking around she couldn't find anyone.

"Don't look around look inside" she close her eyes and focus her consciousness inside her body.

But she saw nothing suddenly a ice crystal in flower shape with eyes and small mouth appear there ice crystal was melting in water.

The crystal spoke in fear "if go any near I will completely melt I just had gain consciousness few days ago I don't want to die now high"

"What are you" she curiously ask the ice crystal flower "I'm thousand ice flower poison inside your body"

Her curious expression darken as she glare at the crystal flower, which petal shook in fear it just had gain consciousness few days ago currently very weak.

It also know cause it the girl can't cultivate so in order to save it life "beautiful lady do you want to form a contract with me"

"....Huh"

"Yes yes contract once that happen I will be under your control and I will also not effect your cultivation you will gain powerful ally"

She quite like the idea "okay let's do it but if you try to betray me humph see if I don't deal with you" with that she got rid of the obstacle which stop her from cultivating"

The Thunderforge Citadel...

"Lightening tempers, metal endure - together they strike as heaven's judgement"

A colossal floating Citadel forged of black steel and gold alloys, suspended in strom cloud.

Lightening strike constantly between the towers, striking anvils and statue of armored beast's.

The ground is a vast battlefield of shattered weapons, swords buried like trees, spear jutting from the earth like forest of a steel.

Rivers of molten metal run beneath glass floor, glowing from below with strom lightening.

The sky thunders with perpetual strom, bolt of silver white lightening forging and reforging weapon in mid air.

*********

The Luminous Tundra...

"In silence lies brilliance; in brilliance lies death"

A vast, endless tundra, blanketed by flawless white snow, so reflective it dazzle the eyes.

The sky is eternal dawn - a horizon painted with pale gold and silver, never fully day nor night.

Glaciers shaped like radiant spires jut from the ground, refracting beam of divine light shimmering aurora's.

The silence is crushing; the only sound is crunch of snow underfoot.... Until the strom begin.
