Chapter 1918 Prince of the Eastern Sea
On this day, more than a dozen enormous warships appeared on the surface of the sea around the island. Each of these warships was the size of a small mountain and was about ten stories tall. They floated on the surface of the sea. Wherever they pa.s.sed, the rapid waves were calmed by a mysterious force and forcefully suppressed.
Different symbols were carved on the warships, and there were layers of barriers. Scattered throughout the ship decks were huge Divinity Breaker Crossbows. These were war fortresses, each one of them possessing astonishing combat power.
"This is the Grand Xia Navy?"
When many people saw these warships, they gasped in shock and awe. Although the power of Grand Xia wasn"t enough to rule the Eastern Sea, it still had absolute dominance in the coastal areas. They relied on their extremely powerful fleets to sweep away all the powerful enemies. Whether it was the itinerant cultivators on the Eastern Sea or the terrifying beasts in the deep sea, they could not withstand a single blow in front of those powerful fleets. It was said that the Grand Xia Navy had Divinity Breaker Crossbows that could kill a Creator with a single arrow. That was the true killing weapon.
"No, this isn"t the Grand Xia Navy. The fleet of Grand Xia is much more terrifying than this. Those warships are several tens of stories tall. Warships such as these were eliminated from the main naval fleet many years ago."
If this was the Grand Xia Navy, it would be much more terrifying. A regular naval fleet of Grand Xia would be enough to flatten the entire island. Compared to the tens of stories-tall warships of Grand Xia, these just ten-story-tall warships were nothing.
Many people also came to their senses. To Grand Xia, the fleet in the Eastern Sea was a national treasure. It was the greatest guarantee to suppress the powers in the Eastern Sea, Northern Sea, and Southern Sea. Unless the Grand Commandant of Grand Xia personally gave the order, no one would be able to mobilize this fleet, let alone use it for personal gain. That would be equivalent to cutting themselves off from Grand Xia.
The Li clan was not that stupid, nor did they have that kind of power. Without a doubt, this was the Li clan"s personal fleet. If it was in the past, this would undoubtedly be seen as an attempt to rebel. However, these warships had long been rendered obsolete and were not enough to pose a threat to Grand Xia"s fleet. Many factions had obtained the blueprints through various methods and began to build warships in private.
However, this was still not something that ordinary forces could afford. Even the obsolete warships of Grand Xia cost more than five billion mid-grade spirit stones each. The cost was so high that the power of these warships was beyond doubt. A dozen ships were enough to suppress all-powerful enemies.
"What a big deal. The Li clan is really determined to get the inheritance."
"That"s right. I think they"re a little embarra.s.sed. That person"s action is equivalent to a slap to their face. How can the Li clan let it go?"
"It seems that the Li clan has decided to interfere with the interests of the Eastern Sea. Hmph!"
Many people were discussing animatedly, shocked by the terrifying foundation of the Li clan. Grand Xia occupied the Central Plains and was the wealthiest and most powerful of them all. Any power that could stand out among them would naturally be considered a major power in other regions.
The elites and experts of the Li clan boarded the warships. Not long after, these warships unanch.o.r.ed and set sail, cutting through the waves. The raging waves many powerful itinerant cultivators had to avoid were calmed down within a radius of several thousand meters of these warships. Powerful arrays were activated one after another. Even in the face of countless attacks, they were unable to shake these huge warships.
Behind this fleet, countless people followed them brazenly. The Li clan knew this, but they did not stop them. They knew that it was impossible to stop so many people. The Li clan did not have such strength in the Eastern Sea.
Among this group of people, a figure was quietly following behind the fleet. It was none other than Chu Yunfan. Looking at the tens of warships in the distance, which had the aura of a thousand soldiers and horses, he fell into deep thought.
The Li clan"s foundation was indeed shocking, although warships of this level could only be considered frigates in the current Grand Xia Navy. However, just being able to build and form the scale of this fleet proved a shocking foundation. These warships were undoubtedly money-devouring beasts. Not only did each need five billion mid-grade spirit stones to build, but they also needed to be serviced from time to time to maintain their combat strength. All kinds of expenses were more expensive than the cost of construction.
But to Chu Yunfan, it didn"t make a difference. The two sides had already shed all pretense of cordiality, and it was bound to be a life-and-death relationship.
Chu Yunfan wasn"t in a hurry to catch up, so he just hung back. His purpose this time was to find and kill Li Qianyuan. Mixed in the crowd, he was not eye-catching at all. No one recognized him.
The fleet crossed the ocean. After half a day, Chu Yunfan, who had been hanging far away, saw chaos in front of him. Those who followed the fleet closely were also in chaos.
"What happened?" someone asked.
From afar, they could hear the roars of beasts. Everyone was puzzled. With the murderous aura emitted by this fleet, even the irrational beasts would have to hide far away. Those intelligent monsters would definitely stay away, so who would dare to come up and die?
"It"s the marine folks!" someone shouted, and everyone"s expression changed.
In the endless sea, there was a truly terrifying force, the marine folks. These sea G.o.ds existed at the bottom of the ocean and established powerful forces. They were accompanied by ferocious beasts and could be said to be the true rulers of the deep sea. Almost everyone in the Eastern Sea knew about the existence of the marine folks.
The marine folks were the greatest opponents of Grand Xia in the Eastern Sea. It was precisely because of the existence of the marine folks that Grand Xia"s rule was limited to the coastal areas.
"Which marine race is it?" someone asked.
"The Sea Prince! It"s The Sea Prince who attacked the Li clan!" soon, someone in front of them sent a message.
"The Sea Prince? The one ranked fourth on the prodigy list?" someone exclaimed.
Everyone then recalled who The Sea Prince was.
