Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1302 - 636: The World Above the Thundercloud

Liang Yuan's gaze burned with intense focus, but in a fleeting moment, he quelled the fervor within his heart.

"It's far too dangerous. With the might of that Golden Crow Beast, I certainly cannot defeat it by myself."

"I must rapidly augment my strength."

As the barrage of energy cannons continued its relentless assault, avian mutant beasts plummeted from the sky in droves.

Meanwhile, the swirling vortex in the Celestial Abyss above began its slow descent towards closure.

At this critical juncture, a colossal mutant bird suddenly ascended from the military base, hurtling towards the heavens with astonishing speed.

The energy cannons positioned at the military base also strategically shifted in unison, carving a clear path for the soaring bird.

The mutant bird beat its wings incessantly, and in what felt like an instant, it had already breached the cloud-laden passageway.

Liang Yuan's eyes narrowed, his gaze locking onto the warship from which the bird had launched.

"Pei Yuanhu!"

He instantly deduced that the bird must have been possessed by Pei Yuanhu's soul, sent forth to scout the situation above by flying into the vortex passage.

With a blur of motion, Liang Yuan vanished from his current position.

Simultaneously, from beneath the frigid waters, Zhang Yujiang and Feng Jiangong hauled their exhausted forms out of the depths!

Both had reverted from their mutated gene forms, returning to their original human shapes.

Now, their countenances were etched with profound fatigue. Zhang Yujiang cast his gaze upwards towards the sky.

Upon witnessing the mutant bird darting into the vortex passage, he instinctively murmured, "I hope they can conduct a more thorough investigation this time."

"Damn it, where did that Liang fellow go?"

Feng Jiangong swore under his breath, scanning the surroundings in a frantic search for Liang Yuan.

Hearing this, Zhang Yujiang remarked, "That kid is incredibly shrewd. I never anticipated he possessed a genetic map for a secondary form!"

"Is it possible for a single individual to possess two genetic maps concurrently?" Feng Jiangong questioned, his brow furrowed.

Zhang Yujiang responded with a slight shake of his head, "Theoretically, it is considered impossible."

"Once superpowers manifest, an individual's innate talent and their future evolutionary trajectory are firmly established."

"After the primary attribute within the body is set, that specific type of gene among all others experiences rapid growth and evolves in accordance with the genetic map's directive."

"Should someone possess two genetic maps, let alone the immense difficulty encountered during gene recombination, the sheer quantity of genetic energy required by two distinct maps is far beyond the capacity of a human body to supply."

"Such circumstances are exceedingly rare."

Feng Jiangong, however, offered a slight shake of his head, stating, "With the emergence of superpowers, nothing that occurs now would truly astonish me."

"Where on earth did that kid disappear to?"

He looked up at the sky with a sense of bewilderment, his eyes unable to detect any sign of Liang Yuan.

Zhang Yujiang's brow also furrowed. Then, a sudden realization struck him, and his expression shifted dramatically.

"This is bad, Pei Yuanhu!"

The words from Zhang Yujiang instantly caused Feng Jiangong's face to drain of color as well.

Both figures vanished abruptly, propelling themselves with haste towards the warship.

Meanwhile, within a spacious chamber aboard the warship.

A significant number of individuals were congregated in this location at the present moment.

Zhang Wenjing, Aftershock, and other notable figures were in attendance.

At the focal point of the gathering stood a young man, appearing to be in his early thirties.

This young man was slender and frail, clad in a blue robe adorned with the distinctive emblem of the Water God Sect.

Presently, his eyes were shut, his consciousness seemingly disengaged from his physical form.

Facing the assembled group was a large screen, upon which continuous footage was being displayed.

"Faster, faster, maintain the pace! We are nearly through the Thunderstorm Zone!" Zhang Wenjing urged, unable to contain her excitement.

On the screen, tempestuous thunderclouds churned overhead.

Countless bolts of lightning seared through the sea of clouds, their intensity fearsome.

The camera's perspective shifted rapidly from side to side, constantly evading the strikes of lightning.

Ahead, a swirling vortex channel was slowly constricting.

Within its maw, a multitude of mutant beasts were frantically packed, surging towards the opposing side.

However, many were annihilated by the thunderous bolts before they could even traverse the passage, exploding instantaneously.

Crash!

Another violent thunderclap erupted directly in front of the camera's view.

The screen jolted violently and, mere moments later, plunged into complete darkness.

The frail youth, his eyes still closed, suddenly commanded, "Defense Tower Mode, activate!"

Buzz!

Instantly, the screen flickered back to life, revealing a luminous golden shield enveloping the area.

This shield resembled a miniature golden pagoda, effectively shielding its surroundings from the onslaught of thunder.

Lightning continued to hammer against the small golden tower, emitting creaking sounds as if it were on the verge of shattering at any second.

Yet, at this moment, less than a hundred meters remained to the exit of the vortex channel.

Observing the dire situation, Zhang Wenjing anxiously pleaded, "Pei Yuanhu, hurry!"

"This is already our maximum speed!" the slender young man responded in a deep voice. "This is truly the fastest we can go."

From the sidelines, Aftershock couldn't help but voice his wish: "If only we had teleportation!"

Zhang Wenjing chimed in, "Indeed, if teleportation runes were readily available, this wouldn't be such a dire situation! My father went through immense trouble to establish a partnership with Liang specifically for his access to teleportation runes."

"Enough chatter, we're nearly through this!"

*Buzz!*

The screen gave a violent shudder, and the camera rapidly ascended, piercing through the clouds and escaping the thunderstorm zone in mere moments.

Suddenly, the light intensified on display, revealing a resplendent, clear blue sky.

Above the cloud cover, the azure expanse swirled gently, with fluffy white clouds drifting lazily.

Amongst these white clouds, colossal floating islands meandered through the air.

Flocks of mutated birds crisscrossed the skies above these islands.

In certain mist-laden regions, light refracted, painting the air with a spectrum of rainbow hues.

The perspective shifted, and the camera angled towards the celestial vault.

High in the blue heavens, a vast galaxy was faintly discernible spanning the sky.

This galaxy seemed to pour down an unending stream of water, which cascaded downwards but was deflected by an unseen energy barrier. Only a fraction of the water managed to penetrate, transforming into an infinite expanse of clouds.

These clouds amassed, steadily descending and merging with the dark storm clouds below.

"Hold on, cast your eyes to the left, that Floating Island!"

Zhang Wenjing's attention was suddenly caught, and she urged Pei Yuanhu to redirect the camera's focus towards a Floating Island on the left.

Pei Yuanhu expertly maneuvered the camera, turning its gaze leftward.

In the distance, a gargantuan spaceship, constructed with what appeared to be bone-like structures, was hurtling through the sky!

"A spaceship! There's actually a spaceship out there!"

"Quick, let's get a closer look!" Yu Bo exclaimed with palpable urgency.

"This marks our first discovery of a technological marvel above the clouds. Could it be that another region has successfully breached the thunderstorm barrier and commenced their exploration of the celestial Floating Islands?"

"Zoom in, let's see if there are any beings aboard that vessel!"

Pei Yuanhu also drew a sharp breath, rapidly intensifying the camera's zoom.

The spaceship was immense, estimated to be several hundred meters in length, its entire structure fashioned from some sort of bone material and adorned with intricate, rune-like patterns.

As the camera drew nearer, a sudden beam of light erupted from the spaceship, lancing directly towards their viewpoint.

"This is bad!"

Pei Yuanhu's expression shifted drastically. He swiftly opened his eyes, recalling his parasitic consciousness.

In the ensuing moment, the camera detonated spectacularly!

*Bang!*

Flames erupted, and the camera feed plunged into darkness.

Pei Yuanhu's face had turned ashen. He inhaled deeply and stated, "We ventured too close. The spaceship's defense system detected us and automatically initiated an attack."

"Damn it all!"

Yu Bo couldn't suppress a curse. He quickly inquired, "Where could this spaceship have originated? Is it possible it was constructed by some national power from Blue Star?"

"Or perhaps it's extraterrestrial?" Zhang Wenjing posed the question.

"If extraterrestrials possessed such advanced technology, capable of reaching Earth, why wouldn't they have simply invaded this insignificant thundercloud?" Yu Bo countered, his tone showing agitation.

While they were engrossed in their debate, a figure abruptly materialized among them.

In the following instant, before anyone could react, the newcomer seized the frail Pei Yuanhu, and a ripple of spatial distortion occurred.

Pei Yuanhu and the figure vanished without a trace!

"Who goes there!"

"Stop!"

Yu Bo and Zhang Wenjing reacted swiftly, an mixture of shock and fury in their voices.

They lunged to intercept almost in unison.

However, by the time they made their move, the newcomer had already disappeared.

"Spatial relocation! It must be Liang Yuan!" Zhang Wenjing suddenly realized, frantically pursuing them outside the ship.

Yu Bo also bellowed immediately, "Activate the radar systems! Scan for any nearby airborne objects without delay!"

Just as Zhang Wenjing emerged from the spaceship, she encountered Zhang Yujiang and Feng Jiangong, who were arriving.

Upon their meeting, Zhang Wenjing urgently cried out, "Dad, Uncle Feng, Pei Yuanhu has been abducted by that man, Liang!"

Zhang Yujiang's expression contorted, and he halted abruptly.

Feng Jiangong's face also paled dramatically. He scanned the surroundings and roared, "Liang, show yourself!"

Zhang Yujiang restrained him, took a deep breath, surveyed his surroundings, and stated with gravity, "Mr. Liang, if you have something to discuss, let us converse openly."

"You have witnessed the state of the Celestial Abyss just moments ago. Even a solitary Golden Crow Beast possesses the might to obliterate any sanctuary."

"Without our vigilance here, ranges such as Cangqiong Mountain, Mide Mountain, Denggong Mountain, and Cangfu Mountain would have been utterly abandoned long ago."

"Pei Yuanhu holds a vital position in our endeavors to explore the world situated above the Celestial Abyss."

"If he isn't controlled to make the Mutant Beasts invade, we'll never grasp the truth of this world, nor will we ever uncover the secret behind this flood."

"Mr. Liang, I trust you're a rational individual. Please don't let personal interests sabotage all of humanity's last hopes."

Within the Sumeru Space, Liang Yuan paid no heed to the calls from Zhang Yujiang and Feng Jiangong resonating from outside.

His gaze settled upon the frail young man positioned before him.

Honestly, the appearance of this individual was far removed from Liang Yuan's expectations of Pei Yuanhu.

He had presumed that the power behind the Water God Sect would be an immensely formidable figure.

However, as judged by his outward appearance, he seemed surprisingly delicate.

Liang Yuan observed him and inquired, "Pei Yuanhu?"

The youth lifted his head, meeting Liang Yuan's gaze with a calm expression. His blue robe draped over him, resembling a loose sheet.

He appeared as slender as a clothes rack, looking as thin as parchment.

"Is it difficult to believe? Ha ha. The loss of mental focus has had a significant impact on my main body."

"You confiscated my Tide Main Brain, which held a substantial portion of my Spiritual Origin."

"With this segment of my Spiritual Origin gone, my body's functions have drastically deteriorated."

"Commander Zhang mentioned he would attempt to negotiate with you to return my portion of Spiritual Origin, yet it appears he's encountered difficulties in doing so."

Liang Yuan looked at the composed young man before him and asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Afraid? What reason would I have to be fearful? You've arrived in pursuit of the Heart Core and Brain Core from the Miyuan Rainforest, correct? By ending my life, what could you possibly gain?"

"You're aware, aren't you, that if I perish, the Heart Core and Brain Core of the Miyuan Rainforest will instantly cease to exist, right?"

Liang Yuan gave a slight nod. "That is correct."

Pei Yuanhu continued, "Therefore, you wouldn't simply kill me, would you?"

Liang Yuan recognized the sharp intellect of the person confronting him.

He stated, "I observed you exploring the Celestial Abyss earlier. What precisely lies beyond in that realm?"

Pei Yuanhu cast a glance at Liang Yuan, a smile suddenly appearing on his lips. "You too are curious about what resides up there?"

"Naturally. I am eager to comprehend the true nature of this overwhelming flood."
