Chapter 92: Chapter 21 Rain Invocation i
Translator: 549690339 |
The clouds in the sky continued to expand, layers of dark clouds stacked like an invisible mountain pressing down on everyone’s hearts.
Ineffable gloom emerged from their hearts; the pitch-black sky seemed to be a harbinger of Heaven and Earth wrath.
The next moment, accompanied by a flash of lightning and thunder, a lightning strike blasted between Heaven and Earth, and a storm, far more violent than before, fell in that instant.
A large amount of rainwater, in an instant, stirred up waves in Lake Dongting. Furthermore, to the west of Dongting, three hundred miles away, an even bigger rain curtain submerged everything.
The water level in the rivers was rising at a terrifying rate. The accumulating floodwaters were continuously spreading, beginning to invade the fields and hills. The ruthless floods began to cross the warning line, heading towards towns that were not on the predetermined route.
The intersecting floodwaters formed a gigantic net, submerging all things within these three hundred miles.
Such a change left Liao Yuan and his team, who were preparing to head to Yunmeng Village, astounded.
The enormous and rapidly falling raindrops struck everyone like high-pressure water guns, causing intense pain.
The terrifying rain curtain had blurred everyone’s vision; even cultivators at the Essence Refining Stage could not see clearly beyond three meters.
The sound of landslides was continuously heard from around them. Huge falling rocks struck the ground, causing the mountains to tremble, and the sound of rushing floods seemed to be coming from all directions.
This rain was getting much heavier.
“How is it possible!”
Liao Yuan uttered in utter disbelief.
This torrential rain has almost exceeded the limits of the natural world. Despite being on the hills, He could still feel the rainwater accumulating. The terrifying floods followed the rainfall and continued to ferment.
As cultivators, they were having a tough time amidst this rainstorm, not to mention the ordinary people under the storm.
Liao Yuan immediately halted the progress of his team and took out a communication device from his Storage Ring to communicate with the provincial government office.
The communicator was answered immediately. Before Liao Yuan could speak, the operator at the provincial government office began to speak urgently:
“Lord Governor, the range of the storm has expanded!”
“In just a few minutes, the range of the storm has successfully expanded from three hundred miles west of Dongting to the entire Dongting Lake area and parts of the old Yunmeng Swampland.
At present, preliminary estimates indicate that this widespread rainstorm, covering thousands of miles, will trap tens of millions of people in disaster.” “How could this happen?”
With eyes ablaze, Liao Yuan hurriedly asked: “Inspector Liu is stationed at the provincial government office, what is he doing?”
The operator paused for a moment before reporting in a hushed tone.
“Inspector Liu… claimed that the expansion of the storm is beyond our scope of intervention. We can only rely on the experts from major sects and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to investigate the cause.
To prevent the Imperial Court from suffering significant losses, Inspector Liu proactively led troops to protect the Green Glory Stone ore vein in Lake Dongting.”
Liao Yuan was instantly filled with rage and cursed vehemently:
“Liu Yu is absolute scum! At this time, he should be mobilizing all resources for disaster relief, but instead, he’s leading the troops to guard the ore vein.
Who in Yun Province doesn’t know that the Liu Family owns eighty percent of that Green Glory Stone vein? Is he serving the Great Xia Imperial Court or his Liu Family?”
At this moment, Liao Yuan was completely enraged. He hadn’t expected the illustrious Liu Yu to be this corrupt.
Would rather sacrifice the disaster-stricken citizens of Qing Province, than touch his Liu family’s benefits.
However, no matter how angry he was at the moment, Liao Yuan was far removed from the situation. He could only mobilize other senior officials for disaster coordination.
As awful as Liu Yu was, he was spot on about one thing.
At this point, how to stop the rain had nothing to do with the provincial government office. It was beyond the realm of human reach.
Watching the formidable rain curtain, Liao Yuan fell into contemplation.
Meanwhile, Yu Changliu, who possesses a half-dragon bloodline, was thriving in this storm.
Looking at the thoughtful Liao Yuan, he took the initiative to ask:
“Lord Governor, shall we still head to Yunmeng Village?”
“Yes!”
Liao Yuan clenched his teeth and glared at the relentless rushing flood around him, his voice low:
“Even if I have to die today, I will die knowing who is behind this plot!”
As his words fell, the team continued to proceed towards Yunmeng Village.
The waves on Lake Dongting were rough, in the gloomy sky, it seemed as though a Divine Dragon that conjures clouds and rain was soaring in the heavens, raining down its fury onto the mortal world with supreme might.
“Earthly Destroyer’s Eighth Divine Skill: Rain Invocation. It may not be the strongest Earthly Destroyer Divine Skill, but Rain Invocation is certainly the most fitting divine skill for the Aquatic Tribe!”
Bathing in those surging waves, Prince Ji Du spread his arms wide, a crazed smile spread across his face.
In ancient times, the Water God was one of the most powerful divine positions, producing many famous and powerful Water Gods such as Water God and the water goblin, who shook the realms. The Ancient Water Deity, the Water God, was even a competitor for the Heavenly Emperor’s position.
When the Ancient Era ended, the Heavenly Court, fearing the emergence of Water Gods like the Water God that could shake their rule, delegated the rights of water to the entire Aquatic Tribe.
From then on, all the Aquatic Tribes who received offerings could be referred to as Water Gods. This move successfully diminished the position of Water God, ensuring that there would be no Water God as powerful as the Water God in the world.”
