The white cloud beneath everyone's feet soon entered the storm clouds.
The cloud layer was thick and heavy. Above it, the sky remained clear for thousands of miles, with white clouds stretching endlessly, but judging by the thunder rumbling below, the storm must have been terrifying. There also seemed to be something unusual about it.
Yi Shuyuan gradually guided the cloud downward. As the light changed, the white cloud seemed to turn pitch-black as well. Lightning streaked through the clouds, illuminating the mist as though it were flashing right beside them.
No one looked alarmed, however. After all, a Thunder God was standing beside them. Even Stoneborn looked excited.
"So this is what it's like inside a storm!"

Lightning flashed like a dazzling, root-branched whip, lashing their cloud. Xu Zichang shuddered, feeling as though he were holding a branding iron.
That lightning had actually passed through the Magical Treasure in his hand!

Stoneborn and Hui Mian both jumped in fright and huddled beside Yi Shuyuan.
"It's all right."
Yi Shuyuan glanced back at the Ritual Ruler, then lowered their cloud again, descending straight beneath the cloud layer.

Lightning in the sky illuminated the sea. Below them, enormous waves churned amid the storm's torrential rain.
