With his voice echoing, a thunderous roar erupted from thin air.
It was as if some immense force was violently tearing space apart.
Following this, a black rift indeed tore open in the void, and a colossal shadow descended.
"This... this is..."
The commotion was immense, drawing the attention of other cultivators at the port, and even the airships docked there.
Many, peering through windows, their eyes wide with astonishment, stared dumbfoundedly at the unfolding spectacle.
Ye Yun, the one at the center of it all, was also truly awestruck by the sight before him.
Through the spatial rift, a colossal warship, predominantly white with blue accents, slowly descended.
How magnificent was it? The airships from Hongchen Mountain docked nearby, which previously required one to look up, now appeared minuscule.
Next to this descending white behemoth, the massive warship seemed as insignificant as an infant compared to an adult.
In comparison, all the airships docked at the entire Void Port paled in significance, utterly lacking any basis for comparison.
"Holy crap, what is this thing?"
All the cultivators in the vicinity were captivated by the appearance of the white warship.
Large airships were not uncommon, but to be this enormous was simply outrageous.
With a length of over a thousand meters, a height of a hundred meters, and a width of several hundred meters, it stood there like a mountain.
Lin Xueyan and the others beside Ye Yun, along with the cultivators from Hongchen Mountain, were utterly dumbfounded.
"Wow, this is so big..."
"Yeah, it looks so powerful!"
"I bet it would feel amazing to ride on it!"
Lin Xueyan and the others expressed their genuine awe at the Shenhe warship before them.
Zhao Wangsheng also couldn't help but swallow and stammer,
"Elder Ye, is that... an airship?"
In truth, even Ye Yun hadn't anticipated such a breathtaking spectacle when he deployed it.
However, he calmly nodded and replied,
"Yes, can't you tell?"
"I... I can tell..."
Zhao Wangsheng's speech was faltering. He then asked with difficulty,
"But your airship, it's just too big, isn't it?"
Ye Yun shrugged and said,
"The Empress prepared this for me. I don't know where she got it."
At this critical moment, Ye Yun swiftly invoked Feng Qingxian as a shield. She wouldn't know anyway, so he might as well use her.
As expected, upon learning that it was Feng Qingxian's doing, Zhao Wangsheng didn't press further.
He simply let out a heartfelt sigh of admiration,
"This warship is truly beautiful..."
"Indeed, so Elder Zhao needn't worry about our safety anymore."
Ye Yun smiled, then waved to Lin Xueyan and the others, who were still gaping behind him,
"Stop staring blankly, let's get on board!"
As the Shenhe warship descended, a door automatically opened in its center, clearly serving as the entrance.
Lin Xueyan and the others snapped back to reality and scrambled to board.
Ye Yao, however, was the last to react, and for a simple reason: she was terrified.
"Could it be that airships in the Heavenly Domain have advanced to such a level?!"
Ye Yao looked at the Shenhe warship, which resembled a mountain, and felt a flicker of fear in her heart.
If the Heavenly Domain truly possessed such capabilities, their Abyss Continent would suffer immense casualties if they launched an offensive!
Of course, this was a needless worry, as the only warship of this caliber in all the realms was the one before them.
As they boarded, Ye Yun glanced at Zhao Wangsheng and the others and asked,
"What do you say, are you joining us?"
After all, they were about to enter the sea, and an extra person meant an additional combatant, making it easier to deal with any dangers.
"This..."
Zhao Wangsheng looked at the Shenhe warship before him, and indeed, he was curious to experience it.
Compared to this colossal behemoth, his own pride-inducing airship felt somewhat shabby.
Finally, he nodded gratefully,
"Then thank you, Elder Ye. I'll be troubling you..."
"No need for pleasantries. Let's head up then."
Upon hearing this, the cultivators from Hongchen Mountain beside him eagerly boarded as well.
They had never experienced such a massive airship before.
More importantly, a warship this size instilled a great sense of security!
Before long, the entire contingent from Hongchen Mountain, along with the dozens of people inside their own airship, had transferred to the Shenhe warship.
Finally, Ye Yun leaped into the air and plunged into the entrance.
Although they had boarded, this enormous Shenhe warship became the most striking sight at the port.
Many people, awestruck, approached to observe and inquire.
"Damn, where did such a huge warship come from? It's totally unfair!"
"I really want to get inside and try it out. It must feel incredibly safe crossing the Void Sea on this thing!"
"Yeah, I wonder which divine being created such a supreme warship."
After all, one who could command such a warship would not be an ordinary cultivator, so no one dared to cause trouble.
Meanwhile, inside the Shenhe warship.
After passing through the entrance, Ye Yun proceeded directly into the interior of the warship, or rather, its control space.
The surroundings were filled with elements that seamlessly blended technology and the otherworldly, creating a truly wondrous sensation.
Numerous large glass windows were installed along the walls, allowing a view of the outside scenery.
"Good heavens, this warship is something else..."
Ye Yun murmured to himself, his gaze sweeping around the area. He noticed a door at the back, which seemed to lead to other parts of the warship.
The others were also looking around, like country folk entering a city.
As Ye Yun arrived at this location, he heard Fang Zhiwei's voice transmit,
"Master, how do we control this warship? It seems so complicated..."
"Yeah, it looks like it requires many people to operate together..."
Hearing this, Ye Yun finally noticed that the control space had over twenty seats.
In front of each seat, there seemed to be a screen for operation, but all of them were currently black.
The seat at the very front, presumably the command position, had an astonishing three screens.
Ye Yun's heart sank somewhat as he observed this.
"Careless. Who knew how to start this thing?"
Fortunately, just as he was pondering, the main control seat beside him was enveloped in blue light, transforming into a graceful blue silhouette.
She appeared as real as a person. Upon seeing Ye Yun, she bowed and said,
"Greetings, Captain."
"Welcome aboard for your first time. I am Theresa, the Shenhe warship's management assistant."
This holographic projection stunned Lin Xueyan and the others, as well as the people from Hongchen Mountain.
Ye Yun, however, his eyes brightening, calmly asked,
"Can you help me pilot this warship?"
Theresa nodded and replied with a smile,
"Yes, under normal circumstances, the Captain can issue operational commands directly to me."
Ye Yun thought for a moment and directly asked,
"Can I start the warship now?"
"Of course."
Theresa gently nodded, then softly stated,
"The warship is entering standby mode."
As her words fell, all the screens in the control hall suddenly lit up, and streams of massive data flowed across them.
Two seconds later, soft yet familiar female voices echoed through the hall.
[Warship is entering standby mode!]
