Yang Qingxuan thought this was strange. He had never seen Neptune before, so how come this person seemed to know him? He could also hear the fear and dread in Neptune's voice. He immediately smiled and said, "That's right, it's me."
Neptune's massive body stood between the sea and the sky. He was originally incomparably imposing, but at this moment, he had lost all of his momentum. His long robes rustled in the wind, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the sea.
Yang Qingxuan coldly sneered and said, "What? Do you want to attack me?"
Neptune did not respond. His massive body trembled in the air and he said in a low voice, "I didn't know you were here."
The entire seafolk were in an uproar. Just this honorific 'you' revealed far too much. Moreover, besides being respectful, there was also a hint of weakness in that tone.
What caused the jaws of the seafolk to drop even further was that before Yang Qingxuan could respond, Neptune continued to say, "Since you are here, I naturally do not dare to offend you. I will bid my farewells here."
That towering body spread out on the surface of the sea, becoming erratic. Finally, it completely faded away, vanishing from sight.
The seafolk were all dumbfounded. They froze on the surface of the sea.
Not only were the seafolk dumbfounded, but the humans were also dumbfounded. They all thought that it was over, but who knew that such a dramatic scene would occur.
Yang Qingxuan was also petrified on the spot. But, he quickly reacted and slashed out with his halberd. A large number of runes appeared on the surface of Ink Crystal Island, but they were all shattered by the halberd light.
These were Neptune's marks. Neptune had used these marks to sense and arrive here. Now that the marks had been removed, the island had become an ownerless object.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Jiazi also rapidly formed seals. Monstrous red water swirled around Ink Crystal Island, completely covering it and pulling it up.
Ink Crystal Island was originally floating on the surface of the sea. It was a rootless island. Soon, it was lifted up by the red water and sucked into the Profound Universe Gourd.
Jiazi was overjoyed. He put away the gourd and disappeared into Yang Qingxuan's body.
It was only at this moment that the Tea Sage and the others came to their senses. The shock that Neptune had given them earlier was simply too great. It had almost caused their Dao hearts to crumble.
To think that a supreme existence like him would actually show fear in the face of this human, and flee without even putting up a fight! Even now, most of the Oceanic Tribe members were still in disbelief.
The Tea Sage roared, "Don't be fooled, everyone! The giant shadow just now was not Neptune. It was just an illusion created by this despicable human to deceive everyone. Hurry up and kill that human! We can't let him take Ink Crystal Island away! "
At the critical moment, the Tea Sage made a prompt decision and came up with a solution that wasn't really a solution. He was certain that the giant shadow was Neptune. However, he had no choice but to use this method.
Sure enough, after this shout, many of the Oceanic Tribe members came to a realization. They were all enraged and roared as they charged toward Yang Qingxuan.
Killing intent also flashed across the Tea Sage's face. No matter who that young man was, if he could make Neptune wary, then he had to be killed. Even if he had to put his life on the line, he had to kill that young man.
However, just as he moved, he was stopped by Kong Yu.
Kong Yu chuckled coldly. "Our battle isn't over yet."
Yang Qingxuan had taken Ink Crystal Island, but he didn't know how he had managed to scare off Neptune. After the Tea Sage calmed down the army, a large number of Oceanic Tribe members charged toward him. He naturally wasn't stupid enough to face them head-on. Now, not only had he destroyed the giant barrier, but he had also successfully taken Ink Crystal Island. He had completed his mission well. He immediately summoned his Little Ten Thousand Lightning Magnetic Disc before turning around and fleeing through the waves.
A bolt of lightning flashed across the surface of the ocean, instantly widening the distance between him and the Oceanic Tribe army before disappearing into the horizon.
Yang Qingxuan ran for half a day before discovering that the Oceanic Tribe members were still hot on his heels.
Although the Little Ten Thousand Lightning Magnetic Disc was as fast as lightning, some Oceanic Tribe members borrowed the power of the ocean to execute their Water Escape Technique, which was extremely terrifying.
Fortunately, there weren't many of these Oceanic Tribe members, and they weren't very powerful.
Yang Qingxuan landed on a deserted island and stood there with his halberd in hand.
Those Oceanic Tribe members who used Water Escape Technique caught up to him, only to discover that they were like lambs in a tiger's den. In just a short while, most of them were killed.
Yang Qingxuan showed no mercy, killing all of the Oceanic Tribe members who were chasing him. Only then did he change direction and flee toward another part of the ocean.
After that, he changed directions a few more times, entering and exiting several islands before finally arriving at Shangchuan Island.
This island was one of the few islands in the second island chain that hadn't been invaded by the Oceanic Tribe.
However, after several battles, many of the buildings on the island had been destroyed. The martial artists on the island were all in a state of alert, and anyone who entered had to undergo strict inspection.
The surroundings of the island were also sealed off by the Oceanic Tribe, making it impossible for humans to pass through.
After Yang Qingxuan transformed into a mantis shrimp, he snuck in through a weak point in the blockade. He then transformed into his true body and entered the island.
All kinds of dust and smoke billowed on the island, and ordinary mortals were gathered to set up huge crossbows on the coastline. Many Earth Crossbow Fortresses were laid on the ground, all facing the ocean.
The arrowheads of these crossbow bolts flickered with a strange silver light, obviously smeared with poison. Even the arrowheads weren't made of ordinary metal, and they could pierce through the Oceanic Tribe's leather armor to a certain extent.
These crossbow bolts were naturally useless against high-level Oceanic Tribe members, but they were more than enough to kill some low-level Oceanic Beasts.
Moreover, these Earth Crossbow Fortresses would instantly become cannon fodder under the attacks of the Oceanic Tribe.
However, the war between the two tribes had already reached its climax, and it was either you die or I die. Once the Oceanic Tribe reached the island, these mortals wouldn't be able to survive, so they might as well contribute to the war. At the very least, they could kill some low-level Oceanic Tribe members and attract some firepower.
These mortals who were setting up the Earth Crossbow Fortresses were expressionless and lifeless. They already knew the fate of their cannon fodder. But in the face of this massive war, they had no other choice but to accept their fate.
Yang Qingxuan sighed. In the face of the Heaven's Will, everyone was an ant. Even if he were to cultivate to the Prime celestial cultivation state, he would still be a slightly bigger ant, unable to break free from the shackles of fate.
But he knew that be it the mortals or martial artists on this island, the chances of them surviving were very high. After the gigantic barrier was broken, the passageway to the entire inner region was opened, and the Oceanic Tribe would no longer be able to isolate and attack the various islands separately.
Indeed, it was as Yang Qingxuan had expected.
Three days later, the Oceanic Tribe besieging Shangchuan Island launched a final fierce attack, leaving behind the lives of tens of thousands of Oceanic Tribe warriors before retreating. The situation of the besiegement was resolved.
At this time, Yang Qingxuan had already found a secluded place to recuperate and recover his physical strength.
"What are you doing?"
A few days later, after the Oceanic Tribe had retreated, Shangchuan Island was completely out of danger. In the depths of a mountain range, Yang Qingxuan, who was sitting cross-legged on a boulder, opened his eyes slowly, and a glint flashed through them.
