Chapter 775 - 751:
The gates to the Sixth Layer slowly opened. As soon as a sliver of a gap appeared, a fierce flame blasted from within, the stream of fire looking as though it wanted to burn Ye Chen’s body to a crisp. Ye Chen immediately felt waves of immense pressure; the solid flames seemed much more potent than ordinary fire. Merely grazed by a trace of the flames, he immediately felt waves of excruciating pain.
The gates finally opened completely, the purple flames inside surging out like an enraged dragon, enveloping Ye Chen and pulling him inside before the massive doors slammed shut.
"Ah!" Ye Chen screamed, a cry that seemed to shake heaven and earth, making spirits weep.
Boom...
Within Leisure City, eerie purple lightning streaked down amidst the gathering storm clouds. This caused immense fear in the hearts of Leisure City’s residents. The head steward quickly said to Elder Steward Jack, "Steward, should we cancel the banquet?"
Elder Steward Jack, however, smiled and said, "Rest assured, these bolts of lightning are protecting the residents of Leisure City, no need to worry!"
"I see!" The head steward immediately nodded.
Entering the Sixth Layer was akin to triggering Leisure City’s protection mechanism. The city was suddenly surrounded by zigzagging purple lightning. If at this time any fleet or ship approached Leisure City, it would surely be struck to pieces by the thunder and lightning.
Upon receiving the news, the city’s residents were shocked but then celebrated, realizing that the lightning was protecting them and wasn’t a fatal threat. Those who had immigrated to Leisure City were overjoyed, knowing that even if a world war broke out, as long as this protective mechanism activated, not a single soldier could breach the city. Their safety was assured.
...
Ye Chen had entered the Ancient Lava Cave. Three months went by without a sign from him, and the people of Leisure City were deeply concerned. Elder Steward Jack managed the affairs of the Luo Sijue family as usual, standing vigil at the entrance of the Ancient Lava Cave every day, hoping Ye Chen would return soon.
But three months passed with still no movement. Three months earlier, the dark clouds and lightning that had surrounded Leisure City disappeared. The calm before had returned, only increasing Elder Steward Jack’s uncertainty about Ye Chen’s situation inside.
