Beyond Shang'an Prefecture's port, the boundless sea surface churned with raging waves. Under the dim evening sky outside the harbor, the bright lighthouse flickered as the surging billows rolled in. It turned out that the towering waves were striking the lighthouse, blocking its illumination formation with every impact.
Farther out, hundreds of warships swayed up and down amid the towering waves, facing the fierce sea winds. On the foredeck of every warship stood a Foundation Establishment water cultivator, steadying the waters so that the hundreds of vessels could sail smoothly through the Great Sea's immense swells.
Heavy crossbows had been mounted along both sides of these warships. Just moments ago, the crossbows had completed a simultaneous volley. The sailors' faces all wore the same stunned expression, because after that volley, dull thunderous booms had sounded, and the once-calm sea surface had erupted into towering waves, violent winds that lashed painfully against their cheeks, and a blanket of white mist that covered Heaven and Earth.
Illumination spells had already risen into the sky, lighting up the dense white mist that filled Heaven and Earth. The Heaven-Covering, sun-blocking spectacle filled everyone with dread.
They had fired a hundred specially made Power Pills in that volley!
The wind at sea was fierce. In only a short while, the white mist blanketing Heaven and Earth was blown away, and the sailors aboard the warships recovered from their shock. Orders immediately began echoing one after another.
Before long, the foremost warships reached the area where the enemy fleet had been stationed.
Under the glow of the illumination spells, the dense enemy fleet had vanished. In its place were hundreds of enormous whirlpools. The huge waves surging across the sea surface had been created by these whirlpools, though they were now on the verge of closing.
