Chapter 1764: The Xuanhuang Sea Battle

Chapter 1764: Xuanhuang Sea War

"Capture Chen Ye, and you will be crowned king on the spot." On the Xuanhuang Star Sea, the thunderous shout, empowered by cultivation, echoed across the four seas and eight wildernesses. It not only stirred the star domains beyond the star sea but also the Xuanhuang Continent, causing numerous great masters to hurriedly set sail.

Looking out over the star sea, the warships of the three races numbered in the thousands. Each radiated divine light, enveloped in brilliant radiance. They formed a vast, oppressive black expanse, like a curtain blotting out the sky, covering one sea domain after another as they surged through the towering waves with immense momentum.

Every warship was packed with figures, all clad in armor and gripping battle spears. Their eyes were bloodshot, their faces twisted in ferocity. They licked their crimson tongues, exuding a bloodthirsty and savage aura. The primal energy surging from them danced with the star sea's waves, painting a terrifying scene.

"The heavens are not undefended." Ye Chen stood at the bow like an unyielding monument, roaring defiantly, "If you want a fight, then come."

His shout provoked a furious response from the primal races. The Zhundi of the three races took their places at the bows of their warships, personally commanding the pursuit of Ye Chen. These Zhundi-level warships loomed like majestic mountains, moving with incredible speed and dominance. Their formation cannons activated, infused with Zhundi might, unleashing beams of divine light that were silent and chilling.

Ye Chen remained calm, reinforcing the warship's protective barrier and maneuvering with expert precision, narrowly dodging each attack. He was no stranger to sea battles; years ago, he and Xiao Lingwa had teamed up on a Shengbing-level warship to humble the Baiyue Shenjiao. That epic clash was still celebrated to this day.

"Watch out ahead." Kui Niu clung to the edge of the bronze furnace, peering through a treasure called a telescope with narrowed eyes.

"Damn, there are so many." Li Changsheng also held a telescope, one eye open and the other shut, grimacing and clicking his tongue in amazement.

"The more, the better." Ye Chen smirked, gazing into the distance where turbulent waves churned with primal energy. Warships emerged one after another, lined up in formation with Zhundi vessels leading the way. Even from afar, the banners on the warships were visible, belonging to the Qiu Niu race, the Teng She race, and the Gui Ken race.

"In this battle, life and death mean nothing—capture Chen Ye, and you will be crowned king on the spot." The forces of the three races were truly intimidating, even more so than those of the Tao Wu race, Tao Tie race, and Qiong Qi race, who had somehow learned of the situation and gathered at the star sea to eliminate Ye Chen.

Now, the pursuit of Ye Chen had escalated from three races to six. They blocked his path ahead and chased from behind, all radiating killing intent.

Compared to the primal forces, colliding with them would turn anything to dust. There was no escape.

"From the day I was born, I've never seen such a massive lineup." Li Changsheng swallowed hard, his heart pounding wildly.

"Quick, jump into the sea and stop messing around." Kui Niu coughed awkwardly. Even he, who feared nothing under heaven, was starting to falter.

"Don't rush; the timing isn't right yet." Ye Chen remained composed and unruffled, steering the warship to evade attacks while chuckling casually, "We'll wait until the six races are all together, then strike. We'll take them down one by one."

"You can't escape." A Tao Wu Zhundi steered his warship forward with a ghastly, ghost-like expression, firing a beam of formation divine light.

"Try to catch me if you can." Ye Chen sneered, suddenly changing direction as the divine light grazed past his ship.

Even so, it made the warship shudder and hum, tearing a massive gash in the protective barrier. It was fortunate they weren't hit head-on; otherwise, the entire vessel would have been obliterated. A Zhundi-level warship was no joke.

Failing to destroy Ye Chen's warship, the Tao Wu Zhundi gnashed his teeth in rage, maniacally pursuing and bombarding as he went.

The Tao Tie and Qiong Qi race Zhundi were equally relentless, keeping pace with the Tao Wu Zhundi. The warships behind them streaked like lightning, firing relentlessly regardless of range.

From the opposing three races, beams of formation divine light rained down like a storm, missing Ye Chen but churning the star sea into roaring waves.

"Six major races, nineteen Zhundi, and over ten thousand Da Sheng!" Human cultivators from all sides had arrived, gazing at the scene from afar with pale, bloodless faces and hearts trembling on the verge of collapse.

"What a stark irony." Some from the Xuanhuang Continent had also come, maneuvering their warships along the outskirts. "To catch one Sheng, the primal races have mobilized such a force."

"For some reason, looking at Chen Ye makes me inexplicably think of Ye Chen." An elder cultivator sighed wistfully, his murky eyes growing hazy, his aged demeanor laced with deep weariness.

All around fell silent. Whenever that name was mentioned, they couldn't help but sigh. The unyielding Shengti lineage had never submitted.

The current Chen Ye was strikingly similar to the Ye Chen of the past—surrounded by the six primal races yet still upholding the heavens' reputation, a peerless hero who inspired awe even in the elders.

Now, watching Ye Chen under siege, many wrestled with their thoughts. In a few fleeting moments, some nearly charged forward on their warships, but they ultimately held back.

It wasn't that they refused to help; they simply couldn't. The six races' forces were overwhelmingly vast, with six Zhundi-level warships alone, not to mention the countless Da Sheng-level ones. If they intervened, they'd be swallowed like a drop in the ocean—mere cannon fodder.

"Chen Ye's warship has been hit." In the midst of the silence, someone spoke up, drawing everyone's attention.

Looking out, Ye Chen's warship had been struck by a Qiong Qi race Zhundi vessel. The so-called protective barrier was as fragile as paper; the massive ship was pierced on the spot. Even a Da Sheng-level warship couldn't withstand a Zhundi-level assault.

"It's not destroyed yet." A Tao Tie Zhundi snarled, activating the formation cannons to fire another beam that pierced straight through the star sea's space.

"It won't hold." Ye Chen abandoned the warship, instantly vanishing into the star sea. No sooner had he left than the vessel was hit, exploding in a deafening blast with fragments scattering into the waves.

The six races' warships arrived immediately, lining up one after another and encircling the area where Ye Chen's ship had sunk, covering a radius of millions of li like a black carpet.

"Search—bring him back alive or dead." A Qiong Qi race Zhundi snorted coldly, activating his divine eyes to scan every inch of the star sea. After all, his race's imperial prince was still in Ye Chen's hands.

At the thought, the three Qiong Qi Zhundi glared at Shang Shan, their expressions icy. The capture of the Ninth Imperial Prince was his responsibility.

Shang Shan trembled with anger but didn't dare utter a word. Facing a Zhundi at the peak, it was all he could do.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen moved through the star sea and slipped out of the encirclement, only stopping beneath the outermost warship. Kui Niu and Li Changsheng were fine, having known that the Shengti was unbound by the star sea's restrictions. But the sealed Qiong Qi Ninth Imperial Prince stared in wide-eyed disbelief, his pupils contracting as he watched Ye Chen—unaffected by the star sea's constraints? It was utterly shocking.

"Now it's my turn." Ye Chen bared two rows of white teeth, not attacking immediately but popping pills into his mouth to rapidly restore his energy, preparing for an all-out assault.

"Remember to grab the loot, don't forget the treasures." Kui Niu rubbed his hands together, grinning eagerly. Once this was over, he'd be set.

"The pot's already fired up." Li Changsheng chuckled gleefully. After consuming the essence from the primal races along the way, his bloodline power had reached a terrifyingly formidable level.

That's why following the Huanggu Shengti was always promising—watching the show came with soup to drink and meat to eat.
