Night of Despair-Chapter 462 - 460 Peaceful 2

"Let’s name it Black Light, anyway the ship was called this before," Ku Chan said.

"Let’s name it Black Wind. It’s the name of the camp," Yiyi suggested.

"Naming it Spirit Alliance isn’t bad," Chi Xiao spoke up.

"Since everyone has different opinions, let’s respect each person’s wishes and each take one word," Yu Hong clapped his hands.

"Light Wind? That’s not bad either," Ku Chan commented.

"No, call it Black Black Spirit," Yu Hong said.

"...." The three were speechless.

"In short, let’s name it Black Spirit. Okay, it’s settled!" With a grand wave of his hand, Yu Hong finalized the new name after the integration of the safehouse with the Savior Ship.

"I’ll go to cultivate," Ku Chan shook his head and turned towards the underground dedicated Cultivation Room.

Yu Hong had additionally divided three Cultivation Rooms during the recent expansion and renovation of the safehouse, each heavily fortified. Soundproof, moisture-proof, and insulated against the radiations of Black Disaster, Spirit Disaster, and Light Disaster.

"I’m going to wash clothes." Yiyi made up an excuse and quickly left.

Chi Xiao sighed, gripping his sword handle, and walked towards the second floor’s entertainment room; he had recently become addicted to binge-watching various TV shows and movies, deeply immersed in them.

Leaving Yu Hong alone to return to the window, watching the flowing landscape outside.

"Looking at it this way, it feels quite nice, a bit like riding a train," he consoled himself.

But after a while, he also felt a bit bored, so he lowered the blackout panel to cover the window and went to cultivate as well.

He was about to step into the Seventh Layer, construct the Light Well, a very critical step. Once successful, his strength would increase substantially. He could say he would transform into a human-shaped Ultimate Gate, capable of summoning infinite Light Disaster power at will. Just like Quan He currently, with an extremely high energy burst limit, unlimited usage, endlessly.

Although he currently also somewhat qualifies for unlimited Inner Strength, the unlimited of the Light Well is conceptually different from his current unlimited.

His current unlimited is because of extremely fast recovery; he doesn’t need constant output, so it appears to be unlimited.

But the Light Well is capable of high-limit output that can destroy the world.

Yu Hong estimated that it was about three to six times the upper limit of his current burst of Inner Strength. If he could also construct a Spirit Well and Wind Well, then he could have three simultaneous bursts, equivalent to tripling the base of the Light Well.

All things considered.

If the Seventh Layer is fully completed, his strength will truly skyrocket, reaching nearly twenty times the current standard explosion power.

With the expectation for this new realm, Yu Hong also entered a state of intense cultivation.

The only ones left on guard were Yiyi washing clothes and the Agrius drone left outside Black Spirit.

Time elapsed bit by bit.

A black background with white needles, the round clock on the wall, turning its hands of hours, minutes, and seconds.

Buzz.

Suddenly, the whole safehouse shook slightly, automatically starting to slow down.

This subtle change immediately activated the automatic sensing system set up inside the house.

An alarm began to automatically ring beside Yu Hong.

In the underground Cultivation Room, he abruptly opened his eyes, got up quickly, and came to the first floor.

Yiyi was sitting by the window at the dining table, slowly sipping a cup of milk tea.

Seeing Yu Hong coming over, she immediately blinked her eyes, pointing outside.

"Yu Hong, look outside. It seems we’ve arrived."

Yu Hong rubbed her hair and looked outside.

Outside, a soft sunlight shone brilliantly golden.

They were slowly traveling along a wide river. Black Spirit was also positioned in the shadow.

But from the shadow, one could see golden light illuminating a vast landscape not far from the shore.

Rounded lines of houses, young women washing clothes by the riverside in dresses, rows of black birds perched on electric wires.

And the pure blue sky, white clouds, sunset.

The unique shape of Black Spirit seemed to have caught the attention of the laundry women, they paused their movements, pointing this way and talking about something.

Children on the shore were flying kites, now also forgetting to pull the strings, turning their heads to watch Black Spirit glide over the river.

This ship’s shape was indeed a bit strange, a ship fitted with a compatibility suitable small house on top. Painted entirely black, with a large lizard sculpture (motionless Agrius) on top.

"These people, their hair colors are brown, golden, platinum blonde; their features are more three-dimensional, deep-set eye sockets, they look more like Caucasians," Yu Hong said.

Ku Chan was also woken up by now, came out from the Cultivation Room, and looked outside the window.

"They look very fragile," he commented. "This place, can it have clues about the land of vitality?"

"No rush... this is just the beginning," Yu Hong said. "We’re just watching..."

"According to what you said before, Alliance Hierarch, this place will also likely face a major impending disaster, otherwise we wouldn’t have followed Black River here for no reason," Ku Chan said.

"That’s true. Black Spirit is still moving, let’s talk when it completely stops," Yu Hong nodded.

For a time, none of them spoke, silently waiting.

Yu Hong closed his eyes to cultivate Tai Ling Skill, with the Black Mark still strengthening the Outer Eye, which is the ability of the Colorful Mirror Taoist’s Outer Eye.

He had already started focusing all his time on this Outer Eye, aiming to first bring this single Outer Eye to its peak.

He can now independently adjust the strengthening targets to shorten the strengthening countdown.

Instead of always maximizing strengthening. This approach allows him to use fragmented time to push a single ability to its limit, for instance, the Void One Finger, which now has been strengthened to a very high level during fragmented times. Perhaps the next strengthening could cause a qualitative change.

The four of them just quietly waited, watching the scenery outside gradually turn to night, shore houses gradually disappearing, turning into wasteland.

Occasionally, a ship could be seen passing by.

An hour later.

Puff.

Black Spirit finally stopped.

However, this time it didn’t stop itself but the flow of Black River here slowed down.

There seemed to be something blocking the water upstream.

Yu Hong walked up to the front of the ship, combining the Main Control Room, to check the situation.

Inside the Main Control Room, through the circular glass windows, a huge tall black mountain blocked the river path on Black River ahead.

Only a small patch of the river’s surface was left for the waters of the Black River to flow through.

At this time, Black Black Spirit simply couldn’t get through because the river’s surface here was too narrow.

"How should we handle this situation?" Yu Hong frowned.

With a thought, Agrius on the ship transformed into a shadow and pounced out, landing on the black mountain and smashing down with its claw.

Thud.

The mountain formed a small indent, and judging by the progress, it would take at least several days to dig out a width sufficient for navigation.

Yu Hong speechlessly let Agrius continue digging.

He then returned to the glass window on the first layer.

Since the ship had stopped, the scenery on the riverbank outside had also come to a halt.

During the night, the ship stopped at a wide expanse of the river, in front of it, a white cargo ship passing by, emitting thick smoke from its top.

"This place looks very peaceful…. Doesn’t seem to pose any danger at all. Perhaps we could open the windows for some fresh air?" Ku Chan suggested.

"The ship will stay put for a while, as long as we don’t go down, staying on the ship itself shouldn’t be a problem," Yu Hong said.

"Alright then." Ku Chan stretched out his hand, unlocked the safety, the switches, the window lock, and the Array lock before finally sliding the window open.

The thickness of this window made even opening it somewhat strenuous for him.

Suddenly, fresh air along with a cool breeze gushed in.

"It feels nice…" Yu Hong squinted his eyes, sniffing the scent in the wind.

Seaweed, the fishy smell, mixed with a hint of the stench from diesel combustion.

"Let’s make a mark. We might come back for supplies later. This is the first peaceful place we have encountered," Yu Hong said softly, flicking his finger lightly outward.

A bit of Inner Strength shot out, precisely landing in the river outside.

High concentration of Tai Ling Skill Inner Strength condensed into an ice-blue crystal, silently sinking to the riverbed.

"Wait, something’s not right!" Suddenly, Ku Chan’s expression changed slightly, looking towards the distant night sky.

"Close the window quickly!!" He sharply stretched out a hand and slammed the window shut, then quickly locked it layer by layer.

Without needing his explanation, Yu Hong’s powerful eyesight had already spotted the anomaly outside.

In the night sky at that moment, an expanse of bright red dots had appeared, unbeknownst to them when they had appeared.

The dots swiftly intensified in brightness, even to a blinding degree.

Within seconds, they shifted from small lightbulbs to high-power bright lights.

The earthly riverbank, initially a night scene, was now illuminated almost like daylight.

Two seconds later.

Swoosh!!

A swath of red meteors struck the ground directly.

Boom!!!

In an instant, the outside was submerged in red light.

The riverbank, the cargo ship, everything, all turned into a red expanse.

Massive tremors and roaring sounds drowned out everything else.

Inside Black Black Spirit.

Yu Hong, Ku Chan, and Yiyi all dove to the ground, protective Arrays throughout the room lit up layer by layer, the massive tremors rippling through and leaving everyone numb.

Both individuals, their bodies empowered with Inner Strength, formed two dark red shields, enclosing both Yiyi and Chi Xiao inside.

"Why didn’t my spiritual power give any warning!?" Yu Hong couldn’t understand and gritted his teeth to communicate telepathically. Ku Chan’s spiritual power was much stronger than his and should have been more aware of the situation.

"I had no warning either, it was my sixth sense that caught something amiss, then immediately tried to trace it back…"

Boom!!

Before Ku Chan could finish transmitting his message, another series of massive bombardments hammered down, violently shaking the entire safety room of the Black Black Spirit.

The Arrays’ white lines on the walls flashed intermittently, clearly triggered to their limit.

An extremely immense sense of terror compressed onto Yu Hong and Ku Chan’s nerves.

The two firmly protected Yiyi and Chi Xiao, crouching below the window, waiting for the bombardment outside to cease.

However, the bombings outside seemed endlessly persistent, continuing unabated.

An hour later...

Finally, the bombardment gradually weakened and began to subside.

Slowly, Yu Hong raised his head to look outside the window.

On the window glass, there was a clear crack, forming a spiderweb, situated in the upper middle.

Through the spiderweb, he could see the current state outside.

The entire world outside was askew.

The red sky below, the black earth above.

He immediately realized, Black Black Spirit was flipped upside down.

Instantly, he took control of the safety room, driving it to reposition.

With a thud.

Fortunately, the safety room’s drive was still functional, quickly readjusting itself, restoring everything outside back to normal.

But at the moment when he saw the entire sky, Yu Hong’s scalp began to tingle.

"F**k!!"

In the red sky outside.

A huge black meteorite, occupying half of the sky, was rapidly closing in towards the earth.

Anyone could guess with their butt, a meteorite of this scale, once it fell, none would survive!

Only then did all his alarms begin to ring madly, urging him to find a way to evade and escape.
