Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Two: If the Champion Marquis W
nly, the National Academy's esteemed scholar, [Guo Yuan], appeared on the battlefield of Lan'an Prefecture. As Qing He Shui Jun and Bei Gong Yu faced each other, he charged alone, piercing through ten...In most cases, outer realm cultivators and commander-level sea races can guard a place, whether it's a floating island or a sea nest.
In some fiercely contested places, only divine cultivators and sea clan princes would be present.
Now that Fish Broad Abyss is gone, Bat Mountain King has died, and the main force of the sea clan has been defeated, the Xinxi region can be said to be at the mercy of the human race.
But the Sea Nest, this long-standing war fortress, still provided a great sense of security to the sea tribe warriors. Many of the scattered sea tribe warriors flocked to the Sea Nest.

Just as Mo Shiyi relied on the First Floating Island's defense system to hold off a sea tribe army several times their size, he persevered until Wu Duoqiu broke through and Jiang Wang arrived for reinforcements.

Even in normal circumstances, even without the Sea King overseeing them or a main force present, just relying on these existing sea tribe warriors to defend their nests would be able to hold out for quite some time.
Unfortunately, they ran into Jiang Wang.
With the five divine realms fully open, his supernatural powers were unleashed to their fullest extent. He wielded the culminating power of swordsmanship in the form of the Pinnacle Mountain-Shattering Sword, striking repeatedly with overwhelming force. Such power surpassed the comprehension of many sea creatures.
Yuan Shi's supplemental energy supply couldn't keep up with the Great Formation's consumption.
Sea warriors were renowned for their physical prowess and robust qi and blood. However, under such bombardment, rows of sea warriors were directly sucked into mummified corpses by the formation!
Even among the sea tribe warriors, there are brave men who fight to the death, but as always said — they can't keep up.
At the beginning, when attacking the city at the Qi Xia battlefield, he used all kinds of tactics: changing clothes, deceiving Guan Yu, and ambushing. He took many risks.
Now, directly with overwhelming force, confront and demolish the protective barrier! Even ordinary Divinity Realm cultivators are incapable of accomplishing such a feat.

Even the average powerful god can't do that!

A curtain of steel-colored light, shattered into streams of brilliance. With flames burning endlessly, Jiang Wang strides into it, sword in hand!
The Human Race Floating Island is a floating island. All buildings and land are indistinguishable from those on the ground. Only specific to each floating island, there are different architectural styles.
Please note: I have removed the unnecessary triple angle brackets from your request. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Hai's underwater nest is a three-dimensional, spherical structure. It can be divided into two halves from the center line.
The lower half resembled an inverted mountain _a seamount, not a land mountain. Its surface was crisscrossed with fissures, dark and lifeless, and long strands of seaweed swayed in the depths, like the tentacles of a sea den.
Through the fissures of the mountain ranges, one could occasionally glimpse fish as thin as flying knives weaving through.
Several strange eyes peek out intermittently. They should be small sea beasts bred by the seafolk, capable of scouting and attacking.
The upper half of the sea nest, with its outermost spikes curving inward, gathers towards the center like petals.
The inner "heart" section resembled a gigantic black iron shell, impenetrable to light, revealing nothing. Only when entering a state of war did individual, densely packed square portholes appear, making it resemble a honeycomb built from steel bars.
All those bone lances, fire arrows, javelins, and even various large-scale formations attacks were all deployed outwards through these passages.
The passage on all four sides was inscribed with complex battle formations, which could increase attack speed and enhance attack power.
At the moment when the Guardian Nest Formation was broken, countless sea tribe warriors also charged out from these passages.
"Brothers, follow me into battle!"
"For the sake of the sea tribe, now is the time!"
Any race that can endure in the world, none has ever lacked heroes, none has ever lacked courage. Although Jiang Wang's might was so imposing, the warriors stationed at the sea nest still launched a desperate charge.

Jiang Wang strode forward, facing thousands of soldiers charging at him, he only swung his sword across—
Myriads of sword silks fly like snow, a single sword strikes white!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Unlimited starlight, vast Dao essence, all poured into this single sword. Even if Zhang Xun were to be reborn, his swordsmanship would not compare to this blade's sharpness.
Terrifying sword qi, like a celestial river flowing backward, violently surged into these passages. It shredded them into minced flesh and bones, obliterating the intricate formations etched on the walls until they were barely discernible.
Jiang Wang stepped on a surge of sword energy, riding it like a semi-transparent flying beast. He cleaved through dozens of passageways at once, as if opening a skylight for this sea nest! Then he leaped through this skylight and descended into the inner depths of the sea nest, where bridges crisscrossed in intricate patterns.
His crimson eyes scanned the surroundings, wherever they looked, a true fire blazed!
A long sword, its cry like thunder.
The blazing lightning transformed into swords, spears, and halberds, slaughtering wantonly among the sea warriors. One by one, the sea warriors charged in, but he swung his sword at random, leaving none able to withstand him!
There was absolutely no chance, not the slightest possibility of resistance. The Sea Tribe warriors from Xin You's second floating island felt only despair in the face of this powerful Human race warrior.
No matter how courageous they were, or what tactics they employed, no matter how they encircled and attacked... in the end, they could only be obliterated by the roaring sword energy.
This is a massacre!
Jiang Wang charged from the upper levels down to the lower levels, piercing through more than ten military formations. He didn't even break his skin. With each step, he killed ten enemies, turning them into dust with a flick of his finger.
Wu Duqiu waited outside for a while, only seeing brilliant flames and hearing roars of thunder, but never saw any fleeing soldiers. He then flew down from the "skylight." But all he saw were limbs scattered everywhere, blood flowing like a river... there were still some embers swaying and falling in the air.
His gaze swept across the land, but there was no sign of life.
Some powerful sea creatures, who had revealed their true forms as the Sea Lords, had left no trace of battle. They only made the corpses in the Sea Nest even more bloated.

He leaped across the bridges connecting the buildings within the Sea Nest, pursuing the lingering sword energy. In the Sea Clan's unusually spacious warehouse, he saw the figure in blue robes and wielding a sword.
After such a fierce battle, the person was spotless and still walked with ease.
For some reason, Wu Duoqiu suddenly remembered that Chong Xuan once gave him a way to defeat Jiang Wang under his repeated questioning—
He is a true powerhouse who rose from the Yu Mai realm all the way to the Shen Lin realm, possessing unparalleled combat talent, flawless and complete. The only way to defeat him is to be stronger than him.
At that time, he thought it was nonsense. To defeat someone, shouldn't you be stronger than them
So at that time, he sneered and said, "If I want to defeat Marquis Wuan, do I have to prove my true identity" But Chi Xuan Zun at that time just smiled and did not say much.
Today, in this situation, he vaguely understood Chong Xuan's expression. If it were him, Wu Duqiu, it was indeed possible."What are you thinking about" Wuan Hou suddenly asked.
Wu Duoqiu, of course, couldn't say that I was thinking about how to defeat him. He only asked, "Are you going to other sea nests" This place, calling it a Hai clan storage room, is more like a beast pen.
The pangolins lay on the ground, motionless.
The Cang Hai environment was harsh and resources were extremely scarce. There wasn't much material to make storage pouches, and even those powerful sea tribes were struggling to get enough. Storage pouches were a crucial strategic resource, essential everywhere they went.
In this situation, the Hai Clan created "the Pouch Beast",
The beast has wings and four legs, able to both fly and run. But its lifespan is less than ten years, living only one pouch in its lifetime. The pouch on its back, like a giant water bag, sways slightly with each breath, storing a multitude of items inside.
Forcibly grafting the ability to store things onto marine beasts is the primary reason these creatures don't live long. This "sac" is a storage pouch for sea creatures, but for sac beasts, it's actually a death sentence. It constantly siphons blood from its host. That's why sac beasts need to eat frequently; they often lie motionless not out of gentleness, but because of pain.

But no matter how you say it, being able to cultivate various new types of war sea beasts according to the needs of the clan is a remarkable talent, and it is highly respected among the Sea Clan.
They are usually called "wise masters".
It is worth mentioning that Yu Guangyuan is the most outstanding wise master among the younger generation of the Hai Clan currently. However, his insane and violent nature, along with his powerful martial arts, often overshadow this fact.
Jiang Wang casually peeled open a pouch and took out the stored Mi Jing, saying in a low voice: "The remaining Hai Chao is left for you to deal with. This Hou has other important matters. You all rush back with these Nang Shou and use the resources of the sea clan to quickly reinforce the island defenses."
Without suffering any losses, he conquered the next sea nest, and the harvest was abundant. Wu Duoqiu looked at the hundreds of pouch beasts in the warehouse, feeling a mix of emotions, but instinctively replied, "The subordinate obeys your orders."
"General Wu," Jiang Wang said, seeing the true bearing of a soldier. "You say that for a general of my rank, when given military orders, do we have the right to improvise"
"Of course!" Wu Duqiu readily replied, his voice filled with conviction. "Battles change in an instant, opportunities vanish as quickly as they appear. If one cannot adapt to changing circumstances, there can be no victorious army. As the saying goes, a general outside the court must not disobey his lord's orders. Let alone your Lordship, even on the battlefield, I make decisions based on the situation at hand. You coming to rescue us at Xin You Floating Island is both justified and legal, and Qi Shuai wouldn't blame you for it."
"General Wu is a seasoned veteran, so what you say, I fully agree with. General Wu and Champion Marquis are friends, so he would likely agree with me as well," said Jiang Wang, then abruptly changed the subject: "After you return to the island, tell my personal guard commander, Fang Yuyou, to carry out the military order himself and immediately proceed to the Dingmao border region to provide support. I will meet up with him as soon as possible."

Wu Duqiu wore a look of loathing.
What you're saying is there's something else going on, not following the original military orders
Wait a minute, how can my personal opinion, Wu Duqiu's, represent the champion candidate Hey! Where are you going!
Countless questions choked in my throat, yet remained there. For Marquis Wu'an had already departed with a carefree air.
Watching the flames around him grow fiercer and fiercer, he could only sigh repeatedly, first driving all those sacs out of the storeroom and away from the sea nest.

Though the battle was won and the spoils were plentiful, Wu Duoqiu felt nothing. Neither the guides nor the shepherds could compare to a seasoned military commander like himself. Behind him, flames flickered brightly, while before him, fat, hulking beast-like creatures roamed in droves.
Wu Du Qiu watched in all directions, listening to everything from all sides. He drove these reluctant pouch beasts toward his own floating island.
During this process, he suddenly thought—the emperor wants Marquis Wu'an to study military strategy and intentionally lets him enter the Ministry of War, hoping for the next great Qi general. Many people can see this. But Marquis Wu'an himself, does he want to
Oh my, you're so bold.
He shook his head and smiled, how dare he compare Wuan Hou to a beast in a sack
When Marquis Wu'an was in the Demon Realm, Marquis Guanjun was in the Spirit Realm. When Marquis Wu'an came to the Spirit Realm, Marquis Guanjun went to the Demon Realm.

As the reputations of these two peerless prodigies grew, and their martial arts prowess soared, the possibility of them appearing on the same battlefield became increasingly slim.
It is because it's unwise to put all eggs in one basket. Even a powerful empire like the Great Qi cannot afford to risk losing two peerless prodigies at once. Furthermore, both Champion Hou and Martial Ancestor Hou already possess the ability to influence the outcome of major battles. Having them on the same battlefield often constitutes a severe waste of resources.
At the time, people called them the "Twin Pillars of the Empire," and they certainly lived up to that title. Among their peers, it was rare to find anyone as accomplished.
Jiang Wang's admiration and respect for Chong Xuanzun were never concealed. Of course, he also never shied away from conflict or competition with Chong Xuanzun.
When faced with certain problems, he often wondered what choice He Xuan would make if he were in this situation
Of course, Chong Xuan Zun sometimes changes to Chong Xuan Sheng, Wang Changji, Yin Guan, and even... Zhang Linchuan.
However, comparatively speaking, Chongxuan's straightforward and authentic style of play makes it easier for him to feel something. Leaving Xinxi's second sea nest, Jiang Wang carried a bag full of Mi Jing crystals, going to find the next river of realms.
Mist Crystals are incredibly valuable, with one or two roughly equivalent to a hundred Yuan Stones. Of course, this is just an abnormal value produced by the unique circumstances of the Mist Realm. Outside of it, they probably wouldn't be recognized as so valuable.
In any case, Mr. Jiang made a short-lived fortune, although this wealth was destined to be squandered.
The boundary river is not a constant number. After the shifting of the realm, some disappear and others are born. Sometimes there are many, sometimes few.
He came from the Gengwu region to the Xinyou region. After rescuing a floating island, cleansing a floating island, and destroying a sea nest, the token representing the highest level of military command in the Great Qi army in his hand had begun to sporadically receive some messages.
Like every change before it, humanity is rapidly constructing new maps to face whatever challenges may come.

Jiang Wang kept providing updates to the people directing her flight.
After such a long time of face-to-face "communication", contemplating and remembering the dust, he could have precisely captured the target. However, in a special environment like the Realm of Illusion, he could only vaguely sense Fish Broad Abyss's traces - which was already enough.
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
Soon, Jiang Wang found another newly formed boundary river in Xinci's area. He generously poured in spirit crystals, and in the short, stable moment of order, he crossed the river.
A bridge specially crafted from Mithril can utilize the least amount of Mithril to establish a stable rule for the longest duration. It facilitates the passage of large armies, and even ordinary cultivators cannot cross the river without this treasure.
But at Jiang Wang's level, even a breath is too long.
He was so eager to pursue Yu Guangyuan that he had even pre-planned how to report to Qi Shuai. Of course, this wasn't out of personal hatred or anger.
Yu Guanyuan's "Pet Island" left behind in the Xin You area, while making him feel rage, also made him sense danger. If this thief isn't stopped, who knows how many more floating islands will suffer.
That extremely bloody scene, the ferocious and eerie totems, are definitely not just for cultivating new war beasts.
At least at that time, gazing upon that pool of flesh and blood, he could clearly feel the connection between Yú Guǎngyuān and those centipedes with venomous spikes, very close to the influence he had once exerted on his followers through the faceless idol.
Yu Guangyu could have easily destroyed more floating islands in the Xinxi area, but after creating "Pet Island," he left in a hurry. There must be a reason for this.
After a large number of "Pet Island" formations, where will Fish Broad Abyss reach Jiang Wang didn't want to see the answer.
I don't want the process to continue either.
Li Que said that the Samādhi True Fire could burn several Hai Chao nests to bloom. That's a bit naive! But burning to death a few Hai Clan prodigies, there might be a chance.
