Chapter 472: The Number One Prodigy in East Barrens

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Earlier, the Long family elder and another Saint King Realm master had planned on lying in ambush right outside the palace where the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance remained. However, after hearing the words of his junior Long Aotian, the old man felt as if struck by lightning, suddenly coming to a realization.

After all, that Chaotic Sea Star Region was the personal domain of the peerless Sword Master. Numerous contingency plans were laid in place by him as well. Even if a Quasi-Emperor Realm master entered, those terrifying immortal formations could easily slay them.

If the two experts insisted on camping there while awaiting Chen Su of the White Jade Elephant Clan to emerge, they would likely perish the very instant he stepped out. Not to mention any ideas of snatching away the inheritance from his hands – that would be outright delivering their heads on a platter.

Of that, there was no doubt. The immortal formations left behind by the World-Transcending Sword Master possessed such fearsome power. Even great emperors could not survive within immortal formations, let alone the two saint kings, plus a Quasi-Saint Realm cultivator.

After contemplating, the elder concluded that the only safe play was to remain stationed outside the Chaotic Sea Star Region instead. After all, that place belonged to the World-Transcending Sword Master, but the world beyond was still the ancient myriad races’ territory. When Chen Su eventually emerged, they could force him to hand over the inheritance!

As for whether Chen Su might simply remain indefinitely within the Chaotic Sea Star Region…the Long family elder had pondered over this issue as well. Still, he remained confident that Chen Su could not possibly continue hiding forever. After all, he too had his own clan members to consider. With the White Jade Elephant Clan now under their control outside, Chen Su would have to come out sooner or later if he cared for his race’s safety.

During these past three years, the ancient myriad races had not simply sat idle after all. By now, they had already conquered the White Jade Divine Elephant Clan’s ancestral homelands.

Every member, from Saint Realm elders down to ordinary clansmen lacking any cultivation, was brought here under their watchful eyes. The moment Chen Su dared reveal himself, they could immediately threaten the lives of his clansmen to coerce the inheritance out of him!

One had to understand that before obtaining that inheritance, Chen Su had grandly boasted about righteousness and morality. How could he now possibly disregard his clan’s very survival for mere power? This was the ancient myriad races’ trump card. Since Chen Su previously used ethical arguments to force them into revealing their bottom line, turnabout would only be fair play!

“However… Speaking of which, there has been no word of East Barrens’ number one prodigy Su Chen ever since he entered the Chaotic Sea Star Region three years ago. 1 wonder whether he still lives or not?”

At this time, a powerfully built man with a tall frame suddenly spoke up, a hint of curiosity on his face. Bulging muscles covered his body, blood vessels resembling coiled true dragons about to burst with each movement.

He appeared extremely ferocious, his physical strength pushed to a shocking degree – even simple gestures seemed capable of toppling mountains and seas.

This was none other than Zhu You of the Heavenly Demon Alliance. In these past three years, he had not budged an inch from this place, lying in wait for the famed East Barrens human prodigy Su Chen to appear.

He personally witnessed some figures enter the Chaotic Sea Star Region, yet also saw many more leave. However, most who entered never returned.

The strangest matter was that after Su Chen ordered the true dragon under his command to take action and kill the Thundercloud Hou Clan’s great saint three years prior, he mysteriously vanished without a trace. He seemed to evaporate from the face of the earth itself.

Despite the Heavenly Demon Alliance dispatching many agents into the Chaotic Sea Star Region in search of him, all returned empty-handed without exception – it was as if Su Chen had never set foot inside in the first place!

If not for personally killing two great saints of the myriad races with his own hands, perhaps no one would even believe Su Chen had entered the Chaotic Sea Star Region at all. For him to suddenly disappear so entirely, something strange was clearly at play.

Zhu You refused to believe the famed number one East Barrens prodigy could just easily perish within the Chaotic Sea Star Region’s depths. None of the gathered ancient myriad races contained anyone capable of silently disposing of Su Chen like so either.

Over the past three years, the Heavenly Demon Alliance had also sent men to investigate and gather intelligence from the East Barrens itself. However, as they slowly unveiled more and more information, their apprehension towards Su Chen only thickened…even turning to downright fear!

In just a few short decades, this monster prodigy had reached such shocking heights! Even during the ancient era, Su Chen would have instantly crushed countless contemporary prodigies! It could be said that even when compared to the freak talents throughout history blessed by the heavens themselves, all would be completely trampled before this man!

Amongst all the experts gathered here, few even during their prime in ancient times could have compared to Su Chen’s dazzling brilliance. Perhaps only those mighty immortal figures who reincarnated could put up any real fight.

From any lens of examination, this East Barrens prodigy clearly carried tremendous providence. For such a person, death was nearly an impossibility! If he still refused to show himself now, the most likely explanation would be chance encounters with more fortuitous opportunities within the Chaotic Sea Star Region’s bounds.

As for being trapped by some formation…Zhu You had never even considered such a thing. According to their gathered information, Su Chen was well-versed in the Dao of Formations himself. For someone of his great providence, obtaining some opportunities inside the Chaotic Sea Star Region would be reasonable.

For example…that Quasi-Emperor Realm master’s corpse! And whatever inheritance of quasi-emperors left behind!

A Quasi-Emperor Realm corpse – this was the only concrete lead they managed to find regarding Su Chen’s activities within the Chaotic Sea Star Region. Ever since presumably obtaining that corpse, Su Chen vanished entirely without a single trace.

Unless one was a complete idiot, the implications were clear enough to see. Su Chen had likely found some heaven-blessed land where he could secretly refine the quasi-emperor’s inheritance!

Though in no way comparable to the true greatest inheritance hidden away within the Chaotic Sea Star Region’s depths, this alone was already an immense fortune when compared to the rest of them who left empty-handed. For any sane man, chances were they would secretly hide away to assimilate this unexpected inheritance, steadily improving their own strength through it..
