Chapter 290: Huge Bounty

Hidden Island.

In the past few days, Chen Ansheng sent people out to gather information and learned that nearly all the dark and light organizations in the Sinister Dragon Sea were looking for him, wanting to claim his head for the bounty.

After all, the reward of three hundred billion ink crystals was enough to entice any loose Immortal King faction.

“The old dog is truly generous; he must be furious by now.”

To be able to provoke a Peak Immortal King to this extent is quite a skill, isn’t it?

Chen Ansheng felt secretly pleased.

“This enmity has been established, and harsh words have been spoken. I will eliminate the old dog sooner or later!”

What Chen Ansheng was waiting for was the “Fengtian” Immortal King to burst out and take down Snow-Haired Old Man.

If Fengtian didn’t come, or if he failed to kill Snow-Haired Old Man, Chen Ansheng was not afraid.

The reason was simple.

First, he could hide on Hidden Island; Snow-Haired Old Man would absolutely not find him in a short time.

Secondly, due to the regulations of the three major factions, someone of Snow-Haired Old Man’s caliber would definitely not come personally to kill him. To do so would be tantamount to opposing the three great Empires, and even with ten thousand boldness, he wouldn’t dare.

With his current Mid-Level Celestial Immortal realm and various unique methods, he was certainly not afraid of anyone below the Immortal King realm!

“When I reach the Peak of Celestial Immortal, even if I meet an Immortal King, I will have the qualifications to fight back. Why should I be afraid of you?”

This thought in Chen Ansheng’s mind was not without reason.

Just relying on the eighty percent damage reduction from the Spirit of Life, he had the confidence!

“This time, the major factions want to kill me for the bounty; it’s both a danger and an opportunity! I can’t keep hiding in the island. Who wants to kill me, I’ll kill them back. Isn’t that fair?”

Now, Chen Ansheng possessed the Condensation Demon Art and was just worried about not finding a target to gain cultivation.

Wasn’t this a delivery right to his door?

Kill, kill those bastards!

“It’s settled then. I’ll leave the island tomorrow and first go to Li Ge to inform him of the situation.”

After making preparations, Chen Ansheng fell silent.

Previously, in the Burial Spirit Valley, he killed four Alien Immortal shells and obtained a total of two thousand years’ worth of cultivation essence.

How much realm could he improve in two thousand years of cultivation?

Only one way to find out!

Then, with a thought, Chen Ansheng began to absorb the cultivation essence.

Time flowed, and in his heart, a thousand years passed in an instant.

With a blink of an eye, the cultivation was completed.

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t advance to the Late Celestial Immortal stage.”

Chen Ansheng furrowed his brow slightly.

Once at the Celestial Immortal realm, cultivation indeed became much more difficult. With his talent, two thousand years of cultivation had not even reached the threshold for a breakthrough.

“By my estimation, I’ll need at least another two thousand five hundred years to break through.”

Two thousand five hundred years—if it were real cultivation, Chen Ansheng could hardly accept it; it would be an excruciatingly long time.

Fortunately, he now had the strength to kill enemies across realms, and obtaining cultivation essence would be a matter of minutes.

The next day.

Chen Ansheng left the island alone.

When he parted ways with Li Tai’a, the latter had left him the coordinates of the residence. Following that mark, Chen Ansheng flew southward.

After flying for about a quarter of an hour, he was thousands of miles away.

Passing through a certain sea area, suddenly, a huge wave surged.

Fierce tentacles surged up from the seabed, intending to ambush Chen Ansheng.

“Beast, don’t overestimate yourself!”

Chen Ansheng shouted, slashing down with his sword!

The overwhelming sword intent actually parted the sea surface, cleaving the hard seabed and creating a chasm a thousand feet deep!

The sea creature that tried to ambush him was, of course, cut in half, its blood staining the sea for miles around.

“Still a Mid-Level Celestial Immortal sea monster; a hundred years of cultivation essence at hand.”

Chen Ansheng was itching for thousands of such sea monsters to attack him.

Crashing sounds filled the air…

“Mm?”

The sea waves rolled once more, with countless figures swimming below.

“Ha! What I wished for has really come!”

Chen Ansheng sensed that there were at least dozens of Celestial Immortal sea monsters below, and even a king at the Late Celestial Immortal realm.

The sword intent circled around, and Chen Ansheng prepared to make a clean sweep.

“Immortal, please stop!”

At this moment, the massive sea fish at the Late Celestial Immortal realm flew into the air, speaking in a pleading tone.

The killing intent dissipated as he was no longer hostile, and the Condensation Demon Art receded.

“You, a sea monster, how dare you ambush me!” Chen Ansheng roared angrily.

“It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding.”

The sea monster, with its sharp teeth, quickly shrank in size and landed before Chen Ansheng.

“What misunderstanding? That monster clearly intended to ambush and kill me. Don’t try to argue with words! Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to wipe out your entire race!” Chen Ansheng said coldly.

“Please calm down, Immortal.” The sea monster trembled in fear, stuttering, “You are unaware that my kind thought it was the enemy Little Dragon King returning to harm us, so in a fit of anger, we acted. I hope you can forgive us.”

“Little Dragon King? What Little Dragon King?”

Chen Ansheng raised an eyebrow.

“Reporting to the Immortal,” the sea monster said respectfully, “That Little Dragon King is the son of an evil Flood Dragon. Since the White Dragon King, who controlled this water area, was killed by the evil Flood Dragon, that Flood Dragon clan has been plundering and slaughtering here. Many weaker monster tribes have been exterminated, and we have suffered greatly. It’s unbearable.”

“Now I understand. Then I’ll let you go this time; roll away.”

Since killing them would yield no benefit, Chen Ansheng decided to let these sea monsters go and moved on.

As for that so-called Little Dragon King, what was it to do with him?

Don’t be deceived by the scene where this sea monster was kneeling and crying, appearing pitiful.

If Chen Ansheng lacked strength, they would definitely show a different face, and perhaps he would have been killed and eaten.

“Immortal, please wait.”

The sea monster hurriedly called out, saying, “You have unmatched strength; please help us eliminate that scourge. Once the task is accomplished, I will ensure a heavy reward for you.”

Chen Ansheng remained unmoved and continued on his way.

“Immortal, I beg you, have pity on us, please be kind.”

“My child has just been born for a month. That evil Flood Dragon loves to eat infants—if you don’t step in, my baby will surely not survive. Please have mercy on us, mother and child.”

“Yes, Immortal, please help us just this once.”

From the sea below came a chorus of cries for help.

Chen Ansheng sneered inside.

Sea monsters are treacherous and cunning, specializing in hunting human cultivators, feeding on flesh and drinking blood; they were nothing good.

Does acting pitiful matter?

“Anyone who dares to say another word will be killed, not leaving a single one behind!”

Chen Ansheng unleashed his sword intent, the powerful aura of his sword intent making the surrounding sea monsters tremble in fear.

Suddenly!

From the eastern sea surface, a gigantic dragon body over a hundred feet long leaped out of the water.

“Roar!”

The violent aura stirred up massive waves, blocking Chen Ansheng’s path.

“Hahaha, I calculated before leaving today that my fortune would be good, and who would have thought it would come true!”

A wild voice echoed resoundingly.

“Congratulations, Young Prince, to easily acquire such a hefty bounty of thirty million.”

An old turtle spirit said flatteringly.

Chen Ansheng sensed the killing intent and understood that the other party was coming for him.
