It was easy to enter the Black Whirlpool Island, but it was rather difficult to exit.
One would need to fly against the flow of the whirlpool.
If Li Fuchen didn’t have a significant increase in strength, it was unknown if he could make it out successfully.
After returning to the Black Water Continent, Li Fuchen didn’t wait long. Once Shangguan Yu made her arrangements, Li Fuchen brought her and traveled towards the Spirit Spirit Continent.
On the vast sea, there was a fiery-red airship that was traveling at extreme speeds.
This airship was from Zhu Hairong and it was an apex cardinal artifact that was used specially for travel and it was as fast as a regular saint.
After clearing the imprint in the airship, Li Fuchen simply used it for travel. This was the vast sea after all and he probably wouldn’t be spotted by the Zhu Clan.
This was Shangguan Yu’s first time traveling on the ocean. She felt rather apprehensive but also excited.
The ocean was the most treacherous place in this world as 90% of the demonic beasts were based in the ocean. The demonic beasts on the land were just a very small portion.
“Li Fuchen, is it easy to encounter a beast overlord when traveling over the sea?” Shangguan Yu asked.
Li Fuchen shook his head, “It shouldn’t be that easy. The Deep Blue Plane might have plenty of beast overlords, but on average, there would only be one beast overlord that would oversee a huge sea region. Furthermore, it would also depend on the sea region.”
In fact, the seas were also given classes like the continents. Places closer to the center of the Deep Blue Plane had increasingly concentrated heaven and earth energy. For sea regions around the East Unicorn Continent, it would have very thin heaven and earth energy as it was close to a low-class continent. Therefore, no beast overlords would willingly stay there, even beast rulers might not want to stay there. However, there would be more beast overlords in the sea regions around high-class continents. In a huge sea region, there would be an extremely powerful beast overlord overseeing the place and with plenty of weaker beast overlords serving it too.
But as soon as Li Fuchen finished speaking, he was smacked on the face. A mid-tier beast overlord who looked like a man with messy hair actually obstructed the airship.
“Is the Fire Thaw Saint inside?”
Hearing the question, Li Fuchen’s expression changed. He increased the speed of the airship and turned it into a fire rainbow that pierced through the void.
“How dare you turn back on your debt!?”
The messy-haired man was enraged. His elder brother trusted the Fire Thaw Saint, but the Fire Thaw Saint actually wanted to deny the debt. It was truly hateful.
Even if the airship was fast, it was only as fast as a low-level saint. How could it compare with the speed of a mid-tier beast overlord? In just a short moment, the messy-haired man caught up.
“Sky City Water Thunder!”
The messy-haired man activated the innate ability and blasted huge water thunders on the airship.
“Truly unlucky.”
Li Fuchen kept the airship while he emitted a qi force and a sword intent to protect Shangguan Yu.
“You are not the Fire Thaw Saint! Who are you and where is the Fire Thaw Saint?!” The messy-haired man yelled out.
Li Fuchen shook his head. “You have two choices. Either leave or die.”
The mid-tier beast overlord might have formidable vitality, but if Li Fuchen could kill Zhu Hairong, he was confident he could kill a mid-tier beast overlord.
“Courting death.” The messy-haired man produced more water thunders to blast at Li Fuchen.
Bang Bang Bang Bang…
Li Fuchen executed a fist that exploded the water thunders. The tyrannical fist force sent the messy-haired man flying.
Li Fuchen’s body refinement might only be at the initial level of Soul Merge Realm, but the Hand of God was a pinnacle body refinement methodology. If it had to be graded, it should be a supreme rate body refinement methodology. It’s power was far beyond a regular mid-tier beast overlord.
“What? He is so strong?” The messy-haired man was appalled. With a flash, he wanted to leave.
“Thinking of leaving?” Li Fuchen gave the chance previously, but the messy-haired man didn’t know how to cherish it.
Boom!
The fist force smashed like a comet. As it contained powerful gravity, it blasted the messy-haired man out of the voice and there was a burst of blood mist.
“This fellow is actually a body refinement saint.”
Within the same realm, a body refinement saint was basically invincible. Be it offense or defense, it would be top-class. It was equivalent to a combination of a human saint and a demonic beast overlord.
The messy-haired man knew that if this battle dragged on, he would certainly be killed.
“Phantom Water Shift!”
Activating another innate ability, the messy-haired man turned into a phantom.
Bang!
Li Fuchen executed a fist and the phantom turned into a water explosion.
“It is actually an innate shifting technique…” Li Fuchen frowned and let out a bitter smile.
As compared to saints, beast overlords might not be as powerful, but it also depended on the awakened innate ability. There were some beast overlords who awakened incredible innate abilities and would be rather hard to deal with even though they weren’t tyrant beasts. For a beast overlord who awakened an innate shifting technique, it wasn’t possible to kill it, unless it was in an instant kill move.
Of course, the stronger the actual body, the stronger the awakened innate ability. Regular beast overlords would have a hard time awakening an overpowered innate ability.
“Let’s go.”
While emitting a silver halo, Li Fuchen flew towards the horizon while carrying Shangguan Yu.
…
Deep in the ocean, there was a phantom that suddenly appeared and was flying at rapid speed.
“The Fire Thaw Saint must have been killed by him. I have to report to my elder brother immediately.”
In just a short moment, the messy-haired man arrived at an underwater demonic beast city. This city was filled with demonic beasts that were at least beast kings. The city was rather crude and ancient, but there were plenty of buildings and it was obviously constructed with large beast bones.
In the middle of the city, there was an altar and crushed green crystals were used to draw an ancient pattern.
Swish!
The messy-haired man appeared on the altar. There was a flash of green light and the man vanished without a trace.
Similar to humans, the demonic beasts had plenty of factions too and there were ten factions that were extremely powerful.
One of the ten factions was called the Mad Beast Palace.
The Mad Beast Palace Master was the Battle Heaven Great Tyrant and it wasn’t inferior to a human peak level saint. It’s actual body was a mid-tier tyrant beast.
It’s subordinates were eight beast overlords.
One of the eight beast overlords, the Purple Thunder Beast Overlord was situated in the Purple Thunder City. On the plaza’s altar, there was a flash of green light and the messy-haired man appeared there.
Without stopping, the messy-haired man rushed for the Purple Thunder Beast Overlord’s palace.
He was the younger brother of the Purple Thunder Beast Overlord. They might have similar bloodlines, but he wasn’t as powerful as the Purple Thunder Beast Overlord. The Purple Thunder Beast Overlord wasn’t just a high-tier beast overlord, its actual body was a low-tier tyrant beast. As for the messy-haired man’s bloodline, it didn’t reach the level of a low-tier tyrant beast.
“Black Thunder, why are you rushing? What happened?”
Before the messy-haired man got near to the palace, a voice was transmitted into his ears.
“Elder brother, I happened to see the Fire Thaw Saint’s Scarlet Fire Airship on the outside. I assumed the Fire Thaw Saint would be inside and wanted to invite him inside the Purple Thunder City. I didn’t expect that it was a body refinement saint that was inside the airship instead.”
The messy-haired man elaborated on the entire incident.
Bang Boom!
There was an illusory purple thunder and the Purple Thunder Beast Overlord appeared in front of the messy-haired man.
“You are saying that he killed the Fire Thaw Saint?” The Purple Thunder Beast Overlord had purple hair and his eyes looked purple too. He looked to be abnormally demonic and overbearing.
“It is probably the case.” The messy-haired man nodded.
“Damn it.” The Purple Thunder Beast Overlord was enraged.
He didn’t have much ties with the Fire Thaw Saint and it shouldn’t matter if the Fire Thaw Saint was dead or not.
However, a few years ago, he made a deal with the Fire Thaw Saint. Furthermore, he had even a portion of the treasures to the Fire Thaw Saint. He wasn’t afraid the Fire Thaw Saint would break the deal. The Zhu Clan was powerful, but the Mad Demonic Palace wasn’t a pushover either. If the Fire Thaw Saint dared to back out on the deal, the Purple Thunder Beast Overlord to make sure the Fire Thaw Saint couldn’t stay in the public eye. Who would have expected the Fire Thaw Saint to be killed. It meant that the treasures given were now lost.
“According to the location you mentioned, he should be rushing for the Saint Spirit Continent. I hope there is still time.”
The Purple Thunder Beast Overlord turned into a purple thunderbolt and appeared on the altar. With a flash of green light, he vanished without a trace.
