Chapter 0244: Trapped in the Dark Star Storm

The Yuan Magnetic Storm—a terrifying force that even lower-tier gods perish in when caught in its grasp!
In the divine realms of the heavens, even god-tier warriors tremble at the mention of this storm. Though it doesn’t appear constantly, whenever it does, it comes suddenly, without warning. If a god-tier warrior happens to be in their domain during such an outbreak, their only hope is for the Supreme God to intervene.
Although the storm was still tens of thousands of miles away, Sophia, Clyde, and the others were utterly terrified.
They had encountered the Yuan Magnetic Storm!
Sophia’s face was filled with disbelief and fear.
Huang Long and the others also heard the rumbling in the sky and turned to see the storm. However, Huang Long and Long Yi didn’t recognize it at first, finding it strange. But after hearing Sophia and the others’ screams, their expressions turned grim.
It was indeed the Yuan Magnetic Storm!
Once they realized what was happening, Sophia and the others stopped pursuing Huang Long and fled. But just after flying a few thousand miles, the storm suddenly swept up behind them.
Sophia and Clyde turned around, their faces turning pale with horror.
Under the threat of death, their bodies suddenly glowed, and armor appeared on them, adorned with mysterious symbols that shone brightly. This armor generated a terra-cotta-colored shield that covered hundreds of feet around them. Soon, the storm engulfed them. As soon as they activated the armor, three screams were heard.
Hearing those screams, Sophia and Clyde’s faces turned deathly pale. Those screams came from Mary and two other god-tier warriors.
There was no doubt—those three had perished in the storm.
After the storm swept away Sophia and the five others, Huang Long, who was urging the Group of Immortals Pavilion to fly away at full speed, felt a violent shock throughout his body. Terrifying forces were seeping in from outside the pavilion, pressing inward.
It was as if the earth itself were splitting apart. Everyone felt their bodies shaking violently, and the air currents inside the pavilion became chaotic. The palaces floating around the Abyssal Divine Tree also swayed violently, on the verge of falling from the clouds at any moment.
The world was collapsing!

In an instant, Huang Long realized that the Group of Immortals Pavilion had been swept up by the Yuan Magnetic Storm. He immediately took to the air, landing atop the Dragon Palace in the center of the immortal palace. Sitting cross-legged in mid-air, he continuously channeled his magical power to activate the Pavilion’s defense formation. At the same time, the spirit of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon also circled above Huang Long’s body, its dragon energy surging in waves. With each wave, the chaotic space within the Group of Immortals Pavilion stabilized somewhat.

At this moment, the Netherworld Divine Tree emitted clusters of green light. These green lights rippled like an ocean, and the various colored flowers that had grown on the tree’s trunk after absorbing divine bodies and essences also emitted bright glows. These bright glows were actually manifestations of different types of divine powers!

After being shocked, Long Yi and the others also took to the air, using all their magical and combat energy to suppress the turbulent air currents inside the Pavilion. Yet to their horror, the chaos within the Pavilion grew even more intense, coming in waves like tides with no intervals between them.

Around Huang Long’s body, the Water Dragon and Fire Dragon also appeared, protecting the space around him. Inside the Group of Immortals Pavilion, Huang Long and his companions were in this situation, while outside, Sophia and Clyde were in an even worse plight.

Generally speaking, whether they were Space Realm Kings or Star Domain Lords, they all belonged to certain families in the divine plane. The combat armor on their bodies was a defensive artifact bestowed by these families. Without such artifacts, they would have long been torn apart by the Yuan Magnetic Storm like Mary and the others, with their divine essences shattered.

Even with the defensive artifacts, the tan-colored light shield kept shrinking under the relentless assault of the Yuan Magnetic Storm. It would likely disappear soon, and then the two would follow in Mary and the others’ footsteps.

Time passed slowly. Every moment felt like a hundred years. Sophia and Clyde exerted all their divine power, but soon the tan-colored light shield shrank to just a few meters in size. Just as they felt despair, suddenly, the world trembled violently, and they plummeted from the sky.

Huang Long and the others suffered the same fate. Shouts of shock filled the air.

High in the sky, Huang Long noticed that the Yuan Magnetic Storm had disappeared?! The Group of Immortals Pavilion also retracted its defenses, and he and Long Yi and the others were sent out of the Pavilion.

“What’s going on?” Huang Long realized he couldn’t channel his magical power. Turning around, he saw that Long Yi and the others had the same expression—seemingly facing the same problem.

Finally, the group seemed to fall onto some planet, crashing heavily onto the ground with several muffled thuds. Everything fell silent. The wind howled. After what seemed like a long time, Huang Long and the others gradually woke up. Opening their eyes, they were struck by the blinding sunlight. Huang Long instinctively covered his eyes with his hand. When he tried to get up, he felt as though his entire body had been shaken apart, filled with pain. Falling from the starry sky had inflicted severe injuries even on Huang Long’s strong physique. What worried him even more was that he still couldn’t channel his magical power. A groan came through, and Huang Long realized it was Long Yi’s voice. His current body, refined over sixteen years by the energy of heaven and earth and further enhanced by absorbing the divine bodies of Lin Youwu and the Black Demon, was far stronger than Long Yi’s body, which had been cultivated for thousands of years. Given Huang Long’s severe injuries, one could only imagine the condition of Long Yi and the others. Although he couldn’t use magic, Huang Long could still sense with his consciousness. Under his perception, he detected that although Long Yi and the others were weak, they were still alive, which relieved him somewhat. As for Sophia, the ruler of the Youwu Realm, and Clyde, the ruler of the Xinyuan Realm, Huang Long couldn’t sense them at all, suggesting they might have fallen somewhere else. Gradually, the sunlight dimmed, and night fell. Without magical power, Huang Long could only wait for his body to recover slowly. Fortunately, the area around them for hundreds of miles was a barren wasteland without any fierce beasts. Under the night sky, the stars shone brightly. Lying on the ground, Huang Long gazed at the stars and reminisced about past lives and events. Slowly, dawn broke, and sunlight shone again. By the next day, Huang Long felt his body regaining strength. He tried to struggle to stand up. After rising slowly, he walked over to Long Yi, who was the nearest. Long Yi’s face was pale, his eyes slightly closed, and his breathing still weak. Huang Long frowned and lifted him off the ground. However, when he tried to take out medicine from the Five Pits Divine Cauldron, he realized he couldn’t use magic to open it. With no other choice, he used ordinary methods, patting various parts of Long Yi’s body to disperse the blood clots and restore normal circulation. This method could be used even without magic. After a while, when Huang Long stopped, Long Yi’s eyes were still closed, but his complexion had improved significantly. Huang Long wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly, never expecting he would still have to do menial work.

Then, Huang Long went over to Neptune Apton and the others, applying his techniques one by one to heal them. After finishing all this, Huang Long sat cross-legged on the ground and tried to activate the “Water-Fire Primordial Dragon Art,” only to realize helplessly that he still couldn’t do it. What place was this? His internal magical power hadn’t disappeared, but it seemed to be temporarily restrained by something. Suddenly, Huang Long’s expression changed as he realized something. Could this be…? He stood up and looked around; everything was vast and empty, with no signs of life. Even within a few thousand miles around him, as detected by his spiritual sense, there was no one else—no humans, not even beasts. “Could this really be Dark Star?!” Huang Long felt a badpremonition. Dark Star was a prison star in the Tianyun Dimensional Space, used by Realm King Oster to imprison outsiders from other realms or space heretics. Huang Long and his companions had been in Tianyun for some time, so they knew quite a bit about it, and they had also inquired in detail about this special place. Once trapped in Dark Star, not even gods, divine realm warriors, or sacred realm warriors could use their divine power, magic, or combat energy—no wonder he couldn’t activate his internal magic. As for what exactly was going on, Huang Long and his companions had no idea; they only knew of this rumor. The Primordial Magnetic Storm must have accidentally swept them into the starfield around Dark Star, and under its influence, they disappeared. Huang Long smiled bitterly. He hadn’t expected to escape the Primordial Magnetic Storm’s trap only to fall into Dark Star instead. If he wanted to restore his magic, the only way was to escape Dark Star. Without magic, he couldn’t fly, making escape almost as impossible as the sun rising in the west. Of course, this was just Huang Long’s guess. To confirm whether this place was indeed Dark Star, they needed to find someone who had been imprisoned here before. With no other choice, Huang Long could only sit cross-legged and use a breathing technique that didn’t rely on magic to regulate his breath. However, even with this method, his recovery speed was only slightly faster than that of natural physical recovery. Two days later, while Huang Long was breathing in this way, a noise came, and he opened his eyes to see Long Yi and the others struggling to stand up. “Huang, Brother Huang Long!” Seeing Huang Long not far away, Long Yi and the others were overjoyed and rushed over. Huang Long smiled bitterly, realizing that Long Yi and the others were placing their hopes on him again.
