My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 249 - 248 Perilous

With someone taking the lead, things became much easier.

Groups of four took the Teleportation Array to the unknown region.

Half an hour later, everyone had disappeared.

…

Within the dim and murky space, a large group of people gathered.

"Is this the independent space?" someone asked.

"No, this is the Space Channel," someone knowledgeable replied. "We're in transit, not yet at our destination."

"It's so quiet in here!"

"Eh? What's that?"

"Bad news! That's space turbulence, tremendously powerful. If it sweeps over us, we'll disintegrate on the spot. Be careful and dodge!"

White streaks began to appear in front of them, most shaped like crescent moons, moving at incredibly fast speeds. In the blink of an eye, they were upon the group.

"Puchi!"

A person was hit by a white streak, instantly bursting into a shower of blood.

It was terrifying!

Truly terrifying!

The man who had just died was a Golden Core Cultivator. He perished so abruptly and miserably, without even a chance to scream. It was frightening.

Space turbulence is a peculiar phenomenon, immensely powerful. Even Nascent Soul Cultivators would tread carefully, not daring to confront it recklessly.

This is the risk of using a Teleportation Array; it's easy to encounter space turbulence, and a misstep can lead to instant death. The soul would dissipate into nothingness, with no chance of reincarnation. Once, a mighty expert tried to capture space turbulence to refine a Treasure, but after a long time, they didn't succeed.

Space turbulence is not only powerful and fast-moving, but capturing it is also incredibly difficult.

"Puchi!"

"Puchi! Puchi!!"

Every moment, people were slain by the space turbulence, with over a dozen dying in the blink of an eye.

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!!" someone cried out in a frenzy. "I want to go back! I don't want to go to the independent space anymore! I want to go back now! Ah..." Before they could finish, they were cut down by a streak of space turbulence.

"Don't panic! The space turbulence will pass quickly!" Huyan Wudi shouted. "Everyone, hold on a little longer. We're almost at our destination!"

"Whoosh!"

A streak of space turbulence shot past Huyan Wudi's hair, narrowly missing his head and nearly severing it, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. "Grandmother, that was too scary, way too scary." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Gao Fei also looked quite disheveled, his clothes torn in several places and his hair shortened. Several streaks of space turbulence had attacked him and it took a huge effort for him to evade them, leaving him drenched in cold sweat.

"Shua!"

"Shua shua shua!"

Space turbulence didn't diminish; instead, it increased, causing everyone to groan in distress.

"Puchi!"

"Sizzle!!!"

A massive streak of space turbulence shot in from a distance, instantly killing six people. Gao Fei was standing close by; he narrowly avoided being affected. It was incredibly thrilling!

This was truly a test of life and death—whether to live or die was purely down to luck!

Damn!

This was pure torment!

Several minutes later, the space turbulence finally dissipated. The survivors counted their numbers—over half were dead, less than twenty remained alive.

Over a hundred people had entered, and in just a short span, only twenty remained. The casualties were too great.

"The rest of the journey should be smooth, right?" Chen Feiyang spoke with trepidation. "Let's hope we don't encounter space turbulence again."

"Yeah, that was really terrifying," Chen Baobao remarked, patting his chest with a pale face.

"It should be fine now," Huyan Wudi said, still somewhat shaken. He had never experienced something like this in his life, almost ending up serving the King of the Underworld a moment ago. To be alive now was truly a blessing.

"Let's pray, pray we don't encounter space turbulence again," Chen Feiyang sighed heavily. "To be alive is really great luck."

"There's a saying, 'Those who survive a great disaster are destined for fortune.' We'll definitely be fortunate," Huyan Wudi comforted everyone. "Let's perk up. Once we're in the independent space, we'll make it big."

Everyone chattered away, using conversation to ease their inner fears.

Gao Fei was the only one who didn't speak. He stared ahead, his gaze hollow, and his lips quivered, mumbling some incomprehensible words: "Humans are so fragile, a slight adversity can lead to death... The heavens are indifferent, treating all beings as straw dogs... Cultivators defy the heavens, competing with destiny...

The path of cultivating immortality is irreversible, we can only move forward, never back... To struggle against heaven, to struggle against earth... To achieve our own path of glory..."

With every word he spoke, Gao Fei's eyes brightened, and the aura about him changed.

"What's happened to him?" Gao Fei's peculiarity caught Huyan Wudi's attention, who cautiously examined him. "Strange... His aura is so odd... sometimes strong, sometimes weak..."

"Could he be injured?" suggested Chen Feiyang.

"Swoosh!"

Gao Fei's body suddenly emitted a golden glow, hazy and extremely beautiful.

"You've finally grasped it," the voice of Xuan Jizi echoed in his mind, "Congratulations, you're about to enter the Golden Core Stage." After experiencing a life-and-death situation, Gao Fei had an instant epiphany, finding the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core Stage.

"Now's not the time," Gao Fei said with a wry smile.

"You seem pleased?" Xuan Jizi asked in confusion, "You're about to enter the Golden Core Stage, aren't you happy?"

"Of course I'm happy to enter the Golden Core Stage," Gao Fei replied, "But this way… my true cultivation will be exposed, and I can no longer intimidate Huyan Wudi and Chen Feiyang. If they discover my real cultivation, they'll surely harbor ulterior motives."

"That indeed poses a problem," Xuan Jizi nodded, "Having an epiphany now is bad timing indeed."

"There's nothing I can do, I'll just have to deal with it as it comes," said Gao Fei helplessly.

...

"Eh?" Huyan Wudi raised an eyebrow, "He has advanced… to the First Layer of the Golden Core Stage…"

"Impossible? His original cultivation was at the Tenth Level of the Golden Core Stage. If he advanced, he should be at the First Layer of the Nascent Soul Stage…" Chen Feiyang said, frowning.

"We've been played!" Huyan Wudi snorted angrily, "Damn it, this guy actually dared to deceive us!!! He must have used some secret technique to conceal his true cultivation! And to think we actually believed it? We're both idiots!"

"Kill him!" Chen Feiyang cursed, "Daring to play us, he's really seeking death!"

"Swoosh!"

Huyan Wudi, holding his longsword, charged at Gao Fei, "Kid, prepare to die!"

Chen Feiyang also rushed over, "Dare to play us around! You're courting death!"

Gao Fei sighed gently, "Advancement is a good thing, but now... it has brought disaster upon me…" Gao Fei couldn't just sit back and wait for death, so he swung his hammer and engaged in combat with Huyan Wudi and Chen Feiyang.

Gao Fei had successfully advanced, his cultivation rising to the First Layer of the Golden Core Stage, with his combat power reaching 21,000 points. The hammer in his hand could double his combat power to 63,000 points, wasn't that high? But he was still no match for Huyan Wudi.

Huyan Wudi was at the Ninth Layer of the Golden Core Stage, and his longsword could also double his combat power, making him far stronger than Gao Fei.

Additionally, Chen Feiyang was attacking Gao Fei stealthily on the side, preventing him from focusing on Huyan Wudi. After a few exchanges, Gao Fei was steadily retreating. If this continued, he would eventually die at Huyan Wudi's hands.

"Huyan Wudi! Do you really have to be so ruthless?" Gao Fei roared, "Think about it, we have no deep hatred between us! Isn't your relentless pursuit of me a bit too much?"

"No deep hatred?" Huyan Wudi huffed, "You've repeatedly provoked me, then tricked me with a false cultivation later. You treated me like a fool, I can't let you off."

"That's right, you must die today," Chen Feiyang yelled, "This is so damn satisfying! Hahaha… Gao Fei, I told you long ago that offending me would not end well! I just never thought retribution would come so fast! Hahaha…"

"Don't get too smug, Chen Feiyang. Even if I die today, I'll take you down with me!" Gao Fei snorted.

"Bluffing," Chen Feiyang sneered, "With Sect Leader Huyan here, you have no chance of harming me."

"Pfft!"

Gao Fei took a sword hit that cut him deep to the bone, blood flowing unceasingly. Luckily, Gao Fei dodged quickly; otherwise, he would have been cleaved in two.

"Huyan Wudi, do you really want to push me to the edge?" Gao Fei bellowed, "Don't you believe that I'll detonate my Golden Core right now and die with you!" After his advancement, a Golden Core had formed in Gao Fei's Dantian.

"You're only at the First Layer of the Golden Core stage, I'm at the Ninth Layer; even if you detonate your Golden Core, you can't hurt me," Huyan Wudi huffed.

"Don't forget, we're in a space channel! If I detonate my Golden Core, the space channel will inevitably be affected, and then… heh, none of you will survive!" Gao Fei said with a ferocious smile.

This remark indeed had an effect.

Huyan Wudi furrowed his brows; if Gao Fei really detonated his Golden Core, the space channel might very well collapse, and they would all be doomed.

"Sect Leader Huyan, don't listen to Gao Fei's bluffs, he definitely doesn't dare to detonate his Golden Core!" Chen Feiyang shouted.

"Who said I don't dare, I'll detonate my Golden Core right now! Let's all die together!" Gao Fei's aura began to become chaotic, with golden light bursting from his body, a clear sign of impending Golden Core self-destruction.

"You actually dare to detonate your Golden Core!" Huyan Wudi was startled, hastily flying backwards.

Chen Feiyang was terrified and quickly distanced himself from Gao Fei.

"If you don't want me to live, then don't expect to either!" Gao Fei's screams sounded crazed, "Let's all die together!"

"You dare!"

"Don't be rash!"

"We can talk this through!"

"Don't you detonate that Golden Core!"

...

Everyone was in a panic.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…"

Just then, a large number of spatial turbulences appeared ahead, even denser than the last time.

"This is bad, the spatial turbulence is here again! Everyone, quick, take cover!" Chen Feiyang screamed, grabbing his son Chen Baobao and running off into the distance.

The others scrambled to find shelter as well.
