Chapter 1126 The Gap
What made Venerable Wang You even more fearful was that Qin Yunlan had already reached the realm of a Core Fusion Venerable.
Others might not know about the injuries within this person's body, but the perpetrator, he himself was aware.
For Qin Yunlan to successfully enter the Core Fusion realm, it would take me no less than ten years.
But now, only a few days had passed?
However, Venerable Wang You had no time to ponder this, because Chen Yang was already impatient.
The moment Chen Yang and Qin Yunlan separated, he charged towards Venerable Wang You.
Although Chen Yang had just broken through to the Core Fusion realm, he had been contemplating this breakthrough while in the Void Space.
In terms of spiritual power mastery, Chen Yang was by no means weaker than anyone else.
More importantly, Chen Yang had the Bronze Cauldron within him.
The cultivation techniques Chen Yang practiced after becoming Foundation Establishment, and the techniques for breaking through to Core Fusion, might not have been as potent as others.
But if one were to calculate carefully, Chen Yang's Foundation Establishment techniques were far more numerous than others.
An ordinary cultivator might only cultivate one Foundation Establishment technique.
But Chen Yang had brought dozens of Foundation Establishment techniques with him when he left.
All of them had been collected by me over the past few months or left behind by ancient martial artists.
Merely relying on the ordinary Foundation Establishment technique given by Wu Min, Chen Yang would not have been able to perfectly absorb all the spiritual energy from the spirit stones in the Void Space. To perfectly absorb the spiritual energy within the spirit stones, Chen Yang chose to learn more Foundation Establishment techniques.
Before Chen Yang reached the Core Fusion realm, the spiritual energy stored within his body was several times that of a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator.
This was why the Heavenly Tribulation he required was more potent than Qin Yunlan's.
The moment the two clashed, Venerable Wang You immediately felt an overwhelming aura surge towards him.
When Venerable Wang You established the black market in the Forgetful Sea Domain, he was only at the first level of the Core Fusion realm. After years of supply from the black market, Venerable Wang You's cultivation had reached the seventh level of the Core Fusion realm.
This was something outsiders could not even dare to imagine!
The black market had friction with other forces over the years, but the seventh level of the Core Fusion realm was Venerable Wang You's foundation.
The city lords of ordinary forces might be at the peak of Foundation Establishment, or those who had just entered the Core Fusion realm.
Only in powers like the Demon Capital, would the city lord's strength be higher than the fourth level of Core Fusion.
But even so, few of the city lords or other powerful individuals within the Demon Capital's forces had strength exceeding the fourth level of Core Fusion.
They were few and far between!
Every cultivator at the seventh level of Core Fusion was a formidable force capable of dominating a region.
The gap between the first and seventh levels was unlike the Foundation Establishment realm, where it could be overcome by human effort.
The source of power within, the inner core, was incomparable.
Yet, this first-level Core Fusion cultivator before him could exert such immense pressure on him?
As soon as they exchanged blows, Chen Yang felt a numbing sensation transmitted from his arm.
He had thought that after breaking through to the Core Fusion realm, he could at least contend with the Venerable Wang You before him, but he hadn't expected this old fellow to be so powerful!
Chen Yang and Qin Yunlan had discussed his strength. If calculated carefully, an ordinary third-level Core Fusion cultivator would exhibit similar strength to Chen Yang.
Although Qin Yunlan was a genius among humans, her strength was only enough to contend with a second-level Core Fusion Venerable, and even then, not with absolute certainty.
"It seems the rumors that this Venerable Wang You has reached the seventh level are true!"
However, Chen Yang felt no fear. Although there was an insurmountable gap between them.
Chen Yang had not come alone this time!
With a movement of Chen Yang's spiritual power, five sea beasts suddenly leaped from the calm coastline.
All of them were at the Core Fusion realm!
Venerable Wang You had indeed sensed the presence of sea beasts earlier, but he thought they were for the scoundrel before him.
But now, the sea beasts had all begun to attack the black market.
Two of the sea beasts even charged towards him.
"Scoundrel!"
"For years, we have minded our own business, and you seek death!"
These sea beasts were only at the second or third level of Core Fusion, yet they dared to charge at him!
Coupled with the fact that the black market he had painstakingly built over the years had been largely destroyed by the spiritual energy cannon and sea beasts, Venerable Wang You was already somewhat frenzied.
"Rise!" Venerable Wang You's powerful spiritual energy scattered outwards.
At first, Chen Yang did not know what Venerable Wang You was preparing to do.
But in the blink of an eye, the changes in the sea area immediately caught Chen Yang's attention.
The surrounding turbulent waves began to rise, exceeding the height of the black market's highest point!
"If I cannot protect it, then I will destroy it with my own hands!"
With his seventh-level Core Fusion spiritual energy, Venerable Wang You summoned the surrounding tsunami.
The black market was built by him. If it were destroyed by the scoundrel before him, it would be more acceptable for Venerable Wang You to destroy it with his own hands.
The surging waves crashed onto the black market, causing destruction on a scale several times larger than Chen Yang's spiritual energy cannon.
And this was relentless!
Of course, what was engulfed by the giant waves was not only the black market but also Chen Yang and the sea beasts.
Chen Yang's spiritual power protected a warship on the black market. The moment it was struck by the giant wave, the rapid consumption of spiritual energy almost drained Chen Yang's strength dry!
"Although you have managed to break through to the Core Fusion realm in such a short period, the gap between us is not something you can bridge in a few days! Today, I will let you know what this 'gap' truly represents!"
The colossal waves became more ferocious with each impact, seeming endless.
Venerable Wang You was merely the instigator. Watching Chen Yang being battered by the waves, Venerable Wang You's figure flickered, and he suddenly appeared behind Chen Yang.
"Die!"
Venerable Wang You's punch appeared unremarkable, but it contained the power of his inner core. A halo of light followed Venerable Wang You's punch and directly struck Chen Yang's spine.
However, the expected sound of bone-shattering did not come from Chen Yang.
Instead, a metallic sound repelled Venerable Wang You dozens of meters back.
Venerable Wang You was shocked beyond belief. At this moment, Chen Yang had already placed the entire warship onto one of the sea beasts.
Chen Yang wiped the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth and turned to grin, "Core Fusion seventh level, huh? Only knows how to sneak attack?"
If it hadn't been for the Bronze Cauldron within Chen Yang suddenly appearing, Chen Yang would have been reduced to dust by Venerable Wang You's punch by now.
Even so, the shockwave reverberated through Chen Yang's internal organs.
Chen Yang felt as if all his bones were loosening under the impact of this force.
