I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1920 Riches Come From Danger, Spatial Crack

One after another, the deep-sea beasts soared into the sky and pounced at the warships. Some of them were cruising under the ships. Fierce battles were also taking place in the water.

These warships had been specially modified, and the bottom part of the ship also had strong combat power. Coupled with the protection of the huge barriers, even if many ferocious beasts rushed to attack, they would not be able to break through the ship’s bottom defense.

The Divinity Breakers installed at the bottom of the ship continuously shot out, and each arrow pierced into one ferocious beast. The powerful inertia brought about a terrifying force that pierced a ferocious beast into the deep sea.

Blood flowed everywhere. The blood of ferocious beasts flowed, dyeing the seawater red. The bloody aura attracted more ferocious beasts from the deep sea.

The battle on the surface of the water was even more intense. Although these warships were all obsolete models of the Grand Xia Navy, they were once the main warships of Grand Xia. Their power was naturally extraordinary.

Countless deep-sea beasts rushed forward, but they were unable to break through the dense rain of arrows. These Divinity Breakers were even more terrifying than the ones Chu Yunfan had used back at Baotai.

They killed wave after wave of the nearby deep-sea ferocious beasts, and the area within several hundred miles became a terrifying battlefield.

Those experts who were lagging behind stopped in their tracks. In front of such a terrifying battlefield, even with their strength, they did not dare to barge in. With their strength, they could easily sweep through a small-scale battlefield. An army of that level was not enough to pose a threat to them. Even the elite troops of Grand Xia would not be able to pose a threat to them.

However, when the scale of the battle had reached such a level, with all kinds of great killing weapons rampaging on the battlefield, even they did not dare to rashly barge in. Otherwise, they might die here.

Chu Yunfan’s gaze pierced through the entire battlefield. He could see many figures moving in the sea in the distance. They were different from humans. Although these people had hands and legs, many parts of their bodies were covered in scales.

These were the marine folks of the deep sea!

It was these marine folks who controlled these deep-sea beasts to continuously attack the fleet. This was a common tactic of the marine folks. They lived in the deep sea and often controlled many deep-sea ferocious beasts for their own use. Only by doing so could they contend against the four seas and Grand Xia.

“I didn’t expect that the Li clan would send out all their elites, but the marine folks wouldn’t be any weaker. I’m afraid that the Li clan’s matter has caused a huge commotion during this time. The marine folks must’ve made great preparations behind the scenes.”

Some people guessed the reason. This time, the Li clan’s ferocious dragon crossing the river had attracted the attention of many forces, and the marine folks were probably one of them.

The Li clan’s operation had been delayed for a long time because of Chu Yunfan. It was enough for the marine folks to mobilize a large number of experts and a large number of troops to stop them.

“Although the Li clan has clansmen serving in the Grand Xia Navy, they shouldn’t have any deep hatred for the marine folks. Why would the marine folks target the Li clan?” someone wondered aloud in confusion.

The Li clan had moved out with great fanfare to warn all the factions that were about to make a move. The Li clan placed great importance on this matter. If anyone dared to stop them, they would completely fall out with the Li clan. Under such circumstances, there was no need for the marine race to completely fall out with the Li clan.

“Of course, there is no need for the marine folks to completely turn against the Li clan. Although the marine folks and the Li clan should be enemies, don’t forget that the leader of this attack is The Sea Prince. To him, Li Qianyuan is the biggest obstacle to his ascension. Li Qianyuan can’t get it, but he can. Isn’t that the opposite?” someone said.

Everyone was enlightened. If they understood from this perspective, everyone would understand why The Sea Prince personally led the team to attack Li Qianyuan. The inheritance that Li Qianyuan and the Li clan valued so much must have been an amazing fortuitous encounter. If they could stop Li Qianyuan and let The Sea Prince obtain it, it would be possible for The Sea Prince to surpass Li Qianyuan.

The difference in strength between the various prodigies might just be the difference of a fortuitous encounter.

The Sea Prince was ranked fourth on the prodigy list. Li Qianyuan, who ranked first, must be the target of The Sea Prince. Li Qianyuan had never been to the Eastern Sea before, and the two sides had never fought. But now, a battle broke out.

“But isn’t this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us? If The Sea Prince hadn’t come to ambush us, how could we have the chance to fish in troubled waters?”

Some people didn’t think much of it. They even felt that this was an unprecedented opportunity. If no one attacked, the Li clan’s strength was enough to block everyone from the inheritance.

“The inheritance is in the center of the battlefield!” someone cried out in surprise.

Everyone’s eyes swept toward the center. At the intersection of the two sides, there was a huge spatial crack that lay across the ocean. Both sides were trying to rush into the spatial rift while blocking each other from reaching it.

“Why don’t I see Li Qianyuan and The Sea Prince?” Some people found that the battlefield was basically filled with the elite army of the Li clan and countless fierce beasts of the marine folks, but the real experts were not present.

Everyone understood that the experts on both sides had probably entered the spatial crack and entered the realm where the inheritance lay. Right now, the two armies were destroying each other and sealing off the battlefield.

Many people’s breathing began to quicken. Everyone knew that the fortuitous encounter was in this spatial crack.

“Riches come from danger. Something that can make two prodigies and two great forces compete for it must be something good,” a middle-aged itinerant cultivator said with a ferocious expression.

“That’s right. The opportunities and resources of us itinerant cultivators are already far inferior to those prodigies. If we can’t be more ruthless and desperate than them, how many years will it take for us to be on par with them?” another itinerant cultivator said.

To these itinerant cultivators, taking all kinds of risks was nothing. Their cultivation was a risk in itself. Whether it was resources or cultivation manuals, it was impossible for them to be arranged for themselves like those disciples of large sects. Their cultivation was smooth sailing.

They had to be more ruthless and hardworking than the disciples of these large sects and factions to have a way out and a future.

“I’m going in. Even if I have to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth, I’m going to give it a shot. If I have to continue to be mediocre, I’m going to go crazy!”

An itinerant cultivator roared and rushed into the battlefield like a ray of light.

The rest of the itinerant cultivators looked at each other, and most of them followed without hesitation, including Chu Yunfan.
