Chapter 1924 First Attack, Suppressing Two Great Prodigies
'It's a puppet!' Chu Yunfan instantly realized that the Li Qianyuan who had taken the book was a puppet. It had been hiding in Li Qianyuan's spatial ring, so he could deceive the Sea Prince's perception.
Li Qianyuan was relieved after he succeeded. "Hahaha! No matter what you do, the Ocean Overlord's inheritance is in my hands!" He burst into laughter.
"The Ocean Overlord was once the ruler of Eastern Sea and was known as a top-notch expert. Back then, no one in the world could match him. After his death, his inheritance was hidden in Eastern Sea. However, you have been searching for it for many years and have never found it. It is fate that wielded it to fall into my hands."
The more Li Qianyuan spoke, the more proud he became. The others only knew that the Li clan was going to find an inheritance on the sea, but they didn't know that it was the inheritance of the Ocean Overlord. If they had known earlier, the Sea Prince would not be the only one who came to compete. There would even be more terrifying masters who would make a move, even those who surpassed the Creation Stage.
It was not that masters of that level did not exist in the Eastern Sea, but in their eyes, Li Qianyuan's actions were just child's play. They did not bother to compete with him.
That was based on the fact that they knew nothing about it. If they knew, no matter how magnanimous they were, they would never let Li Qianyuan have the slightest chance to take away the inheritance of the Ocean Overlord.
Different from Chu Yunfan, Chu Yunfan first valued the thousands of jars of expensive Horned Whale Oil. With Li Qianyuan's family background, there would be a steady stream of cultivation resources prepared for him until he became the top master of the world.
The inheritance of the Ocean Overlord was different. Back then, the Ocean Overlord was invincible in the Eastern Sea with a treasure sword. No matter if it was the Eastern Sea's itinerant cultivators, the deep-sea ferocious beasts, or the ferocious marine folks, they were nothing in front of him. It could be said that he had stolen the light of a generation. Throughout the entire world, he was one of the few experts.
His core inheritance was in that ancient book, so how could it be amazing?
As for Chu Yunfan, he had never lacked the inheritance of various core cultivation methods. He had various sword techniques that were far superior to the inheritance of the Ocean Overlord. However, he lacked sufficient cultivation resources. Even the Flying Celestials had not expected Chu Yunfan's cultivation to fly like a rocket, far surpassing the cultivation speed of the chief disciple, Yang Dengxian.
What Chu Yunfan lacked was a vast amount of wealth and resources. As long as he had enough resources and wealth, with his ability, he could transform them into his combat strength at an astonishing speed. This was caused by the different environments of both parties.
The Sea Prince's expression was ugly because others did not know Li Qianyuan's purpose, but he knew that his branch of the marine folks had accidentally learned about the Li clan's actions.
Like the Li clan, he chose to block the news and not let others know because he also understood that if others knew, it would not only be this few experts who came, but it would attract the attention of super big shots who surpassed the Creation Stage. In that case, even though he was known as the number one expert of the younger generation in Eastern Sea, he was still a junior. How could he stop these big shots from attacking?
This was a tacit understanding between the two sides.
"Now that teh Ocean Overlord's inheritance is in my hands, Sea Prince, you can leave now. I will allow you to take half of the Horned Whale Oil."
Li Qianyuan looked down at the Sea Prince. He was already satisfied and did not want to continue to tangle with the Sea Prince. Even with his strength, it was still not so easy to defeat the Sea Prince.
The Sea Prince gritted his teeth and looked at Li Qianyuan, who looked like a winner. He shouted, "Don't even think about it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sea Prince's figure flashed and he appeared in another corner. In that corner, there was an incomplete sword embryo. To be precise, it was a half-finished sword embryo.
It looked like a black ruler.
Although it was only a half-finished product, the sword embryo was still emitting an extremely intense sword intent. It was as if someone was continuously fusing their sword intent into it during the forging process. There was no doubt that it something great the Ocean Overlord had left behind.
"You're courting death!" Li Qianyuan's eyes flashed with an extremely cold expression. He had just caught the Sea Prince off guard, and now the Sea Prince was giving him a taste of his own medicine.
He immediately flew into a rage.
Suddenly, just as the Sea Prince was about to grab the sword embryo, a iron staff stretched out from the void and smashed into his arm.
Bam!
The sound of metal clashing was accompanied by the Sea Prince's miserable cry. His entire arm hung limply and was covered in blood. This strike almost caused his entire arm to explode. Even though the Sea Prince's arm was covered in scales, it did not give him any resistance.
"Who did this?!" The Sea Prince clutched his injured arm and circulated his power to quickly heal it. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and looked into the void.
He had been ambushed by someone. It was simply a great humiliation. Before this, he had not noticed the existence of anyone else in the cave.
The Sea Prince became fully alert. With his strength, he had did not noticed the other person. How terrifying was the strength of the person who came?
"It's so lively here. May I join in?"
Suddenly, a tall middle-aged man about two meters tall walked out of the void. It was the middle-aged man that Chu Yunfan had transformed into.
He held a steel staff in his hand and had the power to look down on the world. With his strength alone, he could suppress the two prodigies present.
"It's you!" Li Qianyuan's eyes suddenly burst with a terrible killing intent, which was ten times more than the killing intent he had for the Sea Prince.
Of course, he had seen this man's drawing before, so he recognized him immediately. It was precisely because this guy had disrupted his deployment that the Sea Prince had enough time to dispatch experts.
Chu Yunfan had killed many of his trusted followers, seized the Divine Flame Fruit that he was keeping till he broke through to a higher realm, and plundered an unknown amount of wealth from the Li clan's treasury. All these things added up, and the two sides could be said to have a deep hatred that would not rest until one of them died.
Li Qianyuan was not surprised to see Chu Yunfan here, and at the same time, his killing intent erupted.
