Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

Chapter 725 - 356: Chongyuan’s Worries and Expectations_2

Chang Dong, feeling like he had been granted a great reprieve, promptly stood up, waiting respectfully to the side.

"Although Fang Yu has already set sail towards the direction of Maguan Island, the Extraordinary Ship’s speed is extremely fast. My low-level avatars naturally cannot catch up, so at this moment, I do not know if Fang Yu has actually headed to Maguan Island."

"We can’t afford to be careless in case he turns around midway."

Chongyuan spoke softly, his long-standing strategies cultivating a habit of always having a backup plan.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Fang Yu and others absolutely cannot imagine we’re transporting from this side, and even if they did, how would they find us out here in the vast sea?"

Chang Dong snickered and spoke softly.

"Hmm..."

Chongyuan nodded, thinking he might indeed be overly cautious, having developed a strong tendency towards suspicion over the years.

For Fang Yu to just so happen to notice something amiss and then locate them amidst the vast sea, the probability was nearly impossible.

Unless... Chongyuan’s expression suddenly shifted, his gaze turning to the sea ahead.

Between the Southern Island Sea Region and the West Qinghai Sea Region is a very famous strait known as the Cyan Tree Strait.

Surrounded by reefs and islands, to reach the West Qinghai Sea Region, one can only pass through the Cyan Tree Strait. If enemies were to ambush here in advance...

Chongyuan’s expression shifted as he started to think in detail.

But just at that moment, a figure quietly appeared on the sea ship, then respectfully addressed Chongyuan: "Your Majesty, good news from the West Qinghai Sea Region. The Yunchen Sect has agreed to submit, supporting you as Spirit King."

Upon hearing this, Chongyuan, who had been considering whether there might be an ambush in the Cyan Tree Strait, suddenly felt delighted: "The Yunchen Sect has actually agreed to submit?"

The figure smiled, nodding as he spoke: "Your Majesty is after all the rightful Spirit King. For us Spiritual Energy practitioners to regain glory, we must follow your lead. The Yunchen Sect’s patriarch isn’t blind to the situation, and through reasoning and emotion, we’ve finally persuaded him to submit."

"Good, good!"

Chongyuan was overjoyed, bursting into a repeated utterance of ’good’ in his excitement.

On the West Cyan Continent, there are a total of Four Great Spirit Sects and twenty-three celestial grottos.

Each of the Four Great Spirit Sects wields immense power, filled with experts, and even has ancestors who can rival the Sky Dome Ship Level, making them incredibly formidable.

Even Chongyuan himself would not fare well against them joining forces, let alone dare act impetuously.

Yet now, with his identity as the Spirit King’s son revealed, the Spirit Pill Sect has expressed its support for Chongyuan, along with the Yunchen Sect, which makes two of the Great Sects.

With two major sects already submitting, counting Chongyuan himself, they’ve already overpowered the other two sects, and it’s only a matter of time before they also submit.

Then he’ll consolidate the West Cyan Continent and, combined with this batch of transported resources, can truly rise to power.

If allied with the Lanyun Sea Country to defeat the Duorong Federation and divide its territory, a major sea country could indeed be established.

Once established, the sea country could share in the era’s glory, and perhaps he could ascend to the pinnacle of strength as a Spiritualist, riding the wave of its brilliance.

Things seemed to be returning to his control.

Once reaching the pinnacle, nurturing several peak-level avatars with his unique attributes, who in this land could be his rival?

Chongyuan, filled with ambition and enthusiasm, couldn’t help but laugh heartily, feeling the shadows in his heart completely dispelled.

But in his elated and complacent state, his vigilance inevitably diminished.

He had completely cast aside his previous concerns about enemies potentially launching an attack on him in the Cyan Tree Strait.

It was at this moment that a thunderous roar suddenly erupted.

Instantly, the Spiritualists aboard the sea ship were shocked, directing their gaze towards the sea ahead.

In the sea ahead, numerous lights appeared, like meteors manifesting, transforming into dazzling stars, bombarding towards the fleet where Chongyuan was located.

Seeing this, the Spiritualists were greatly surprised, and even Chongyuan snapped out of his dream of reaching the pinnacle, looking with anger and shock at the sudden attack.

"Who is it?!"

Chongyuan was furious, sensing the terrifying energy level contained within these dazzling stars.

If allowed to fall and bombard freely, the fleet would likely be overturned and smashed, and even the resources transported on the sea ship wouldn’t be spared.

The resources on the sea ship were accumulated under the facade of being the owner of the Essence Feast company, a significant investment by Chongyuan.

They were crucial to his rise upon returning to the West Cyan Continent and could not be lost under any circumstances.

Seeing the forces attacking from all sides, Chongyuan roared in anger, stepping first into the void, emitting an infinite golden light around his body, transforming into a massive shield to defend the front of the fleet.

"Enemy attack! Support the Spirit King!"

The Spiritualists below regained their composure, and, one by one, dashed out from the sea ship, racing to intercept the attacks raining down.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Boom!"

The sounds of massive explosions echoed in the Cyan Tree Strait, deafeningly loud.

Intense energy level fluctuations erupted from the collision between both sides, shattering the hidden reefs, islands, and rocky mountains of the Cyan Tree Strait.

"Ah!!"

A Spiritualist let out a cry of agony, having only just resisted a few projectiles before becoming exhausted, instantly getting killed by the subsequent attacks.

Each Spiritualist was surrounded by special spiritual rings, continuously unleashing power to fend off endless attacks.

But the attack came too suddenly, compounded by the narrow naval pathways of the Cyan Tree Strait, leaving the Spiritualists no choice but to defensively counterattack. Many were forcibly killed by these assaults.

The golden lights in the void were rapidly extinguishing, bodies falling from the sky into the ocean below.

"It’s you, Fang Yu!!"

At that moment, Chongyuan roared in anger, his figure soaring upward, rushing towards the source of the distant attack, while several figures followed behind him, faces cold as they sped off into the distance.

Their movements were swift and agile to the extreme.

Even amidst the multitude of attacks, they managed to find gaps to weave through, heading towards the distant fleet with lethal intent.

"Chongyuan, leave the resources here today!"

At the forefront of the distant fleet, a young man stood on a sea ship, his gaze focused on Chongyuan and several elite Spiritualists charging towards him, laughing heartily and boldly proclaiming.

Seeing Chongyuan’s enraged demeanor actually brought Fang Yu relief.

Good!

This avatar of Chongyuan was not the main avatar, with power only at the Dragon Ship Level.

Even considering the impressive degree of Chongyuan’s main body, it would at most range around the 65-70 level bracket.

Stronger than ordinary Dragon Ship Level practitioners, but still within that level’s domain.

Thank goodness I gambled right!

Predicting that Chongyuan had set a trap for him, Fang Yu suspected this avatar left at the Essence Feast company couldn’t be the Sky Dome Ship Level main avatar.

If it were the main avatar, there wouldn’t be a need to set a trap and lure him away. Coming here would only mean certain death.

Only with Chongyuan unsure would he deliberately set a baited trap to draw him elsewhere.

Now, sensing Chongyuan’s power, Fang Yu was elated.

However, Chongyuan wasn’t alone; many Spiritualists accompanied him.

Including previously hostile Phantom Forest’s Twelve, and several experts exuding Dragon Ship Level power.

An enemy seen, the encounter stirs intense animosity.

These Dragon Ship Level experts had once tried to assassinate Fang Yu, but Yan Yu had countered their attacks, leaving indelible impressions on Fang Yu.

"You’ve come to me?"

Chongyuan’s face was grim, eyes flashing with ferocious killing intent as he charged towards Fang Yu.

"Someone interfered before, failing to take your life; today, I shall succeed!"

Killing intent boiled over Chongyuan, deflecting approaching beams effortlessly as he advanced.

"Fang Yu, my old friend!!"

From within Fang Yu’s fleet, Rude Yue reacted in surprise, hastily attempting to bring comrades to support Fang Yu.

Yet Fang Yu laughed heartily, loudly addressing everyone behind him:

"Today, I will face Chongyuan myself; take care of the other Spiritualists, and leave me be!"

Hearing Fang Yu’s words, everyone was startled. But before they could intervene, they saw Fang Yu already steering his sea ship, racing headlong towards Chongyuan...
