Chapter 531: 威震沧海

With an incredibly powerful light bursting forth, Xu Yang and his two companions, along with the mermaid elders and 800 elite warriors, entered the teleportation channel. When they reappeared, the vast, boundless ocean was already in sight.

"Jiaohuang Abra, Mermaid Gelaf, your old opponent has appeared. Won't you show yourself quickly for a talk?"

This beautiful mermaid queen displayed her power for the first time. The moment she spoke, Xu Yang sensed that her profound strength was no less than his own.

Although her combat power might not surpass his, the mermaid queen's near-divine bloodline intensity was undeniably genuine. Without a doubt, she was the closest among the entire mermaid race to achieving perfect human form and the eternal immortality of a god.

If the colorful scales beneath her body were the perfect proof of bloodline intensity, then the colorful scales possessed by the young girl Lolita at such a tender age were indeed tempting enough for the Flood Dragon clan.

A moment later, the surface of the sea surged with another round of turbulent waves. It was noteworthy that over a dozen localized tremors appeared consecutively on the surface of these boundless waves.

Clearly, judging by the distribution of agitated ripples on the water's surface, those who had come to intercept the mermaid race this time were certainly not just from the Flood Dragon clan. In the vast, endless deep sea, there was more than just one faction coveting the mermaids' power.

As these faces hidden in the deep sea gradually emerged, Xu Yang and his two companions gained a clearer view.

They were mostly strange and bizarre species of all kinds, and their individual strengths were not weak. However, ultimately, the top figures leading them were mostly from the Flood Dragon clan, especially the colossal sea dragon silhouette in the center, clad in golden armor, known as Jiaohuang Abra.

"Excuse me, the three of you, we meet again."

Abra bypassed the mermaid queen and directly faced Xu Yang and his two companions. There was nothing to hide.

"I'm curious how you pinpointed our location." Xu Yang asked, getting straight to the point. The answer provided by the opponent made Xu Yang suddenly realize.

"You carry a fluctuation of the Flood Dragon clan's aura. Initially, I didn't suspect you were hiding the mermaid princess. It was merely the Flood Dragon King-level aura on your person that caught my attention, so I released a tracking and positioning method unique to the Flood Dragon clan on you. It's a resonance that can only be derived from a Flood Dragon clan's aura. Originally, this technique was an exclusive ability used by our insiders to send urgent intelligence and seek assistance. This time, using it on you, it unintentionally helped us locate the mermaid race. I must say, I ought to thank you for it."

Xu Yang sneered, "No need to be so polite, because your actions have forced us to become enemies. We don't care what secrets the mermaid race holds, nor am I concerned with your desires and ambitions. But since this matter originated because of me, I must personally bring it to an end."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, he suddenly shot up into the sky. Disregarding his teammates, he ascended alone, striding towards the heavens. An incredibly powerful aura of oppressive might instantly emanated from him alone.

The roar of an Asura from the depths of hell, in just one encounter, caused the entire sea surface to churn violently with continuous waves.

Xu Yang let out a roar toward the sky, as if the entire world was instantly submerged in his majesty. No one could resist the violent aura of him, the Asura sovereign.

Boom! Countless violent explosions continuously reverberated from the sea surface below, terrifying every individual on the marine battlefield.

Even the leaders of the two factions, the mermaid queen and Jiaohuang, were completely stunned by Xu Yang's oppressive might.

"Damn it, that guy's power, I can't believe it's already approaching a divine-level existence among humankind. It's incredible!"

"Jiaohuang, what do we do now? If this person insists on helping the mermaid queen, we probably won't be able to win in one blow. This guy is too powerful!"

Many leaders from the dozen or so allied clans behind them began to panic.

This battle hadn't even begun, yet thousands of individual combat units in the sea were already trembling uncontrollably.

One must know that this was merely power approaching that of a god. If Xu Yang were to truly condense his own divinity, a single roar might be enough to shatter the souls of countless marine individuals.

"Human expert, do you truly intend to become an enemy of the billions of sea creatures in this vast and endless ocean?"

Jiaohuang was well-versed in the art of deterrence. Knowing that the people he brought were not enough, he brought up the entire ocean race.

Xu Yang sneered from the air, "I merely want you to understand that you shouldn't be targeting the mermaid race at this time. Since you have already appeared on this battlefield, I will not spare any enemies of the mermaid race."

The moment his words fell, Xu Yang no longer merely continued to deter. His Asura Divine Sword flashed in his hand, and the might of a single sword strike cleaved down from the sky, as if it intended to shatter the entire world. The instant that terrifying sword light exploded, a profound chasm rapidly burst forth on the sea surface.

"My heavens! This, this is truly the power of a single strike from him?"

The mermaid elders who had previously challenged Senior Xu Yang were all utterly terrified. When they saw a chasm several hundred feet deep being forcibly carved out in the center of the ocean by Xu Yang's single sword strike, no adjective used to describe a powerful being seemed capable of conveying the immense shock Xu Yang brought them at that moment.

Splash! This rift in the middle of the ocean continued to spread. Wherever the sword light's chasm reached, all the sea warriors were shattered into two distinct, separate parts.

"No, run away!!"

"Damn it, this guy is practically a god! We're no match for him, let's retreat quickly!"

A dozen or so sea creature alliances that had gathered together, under the deterrence of Xu Yang's single sword strike, scattered in mere moments, diving into the deep sea and disappearing from sight.

"Damn it, what a useless bunch of cowards! They ran before the fight even began?" Jiaohuang was enraged to the extreme. But even he, if asked to challenge Senior Xu Yang at this moment, would not have dared.

"From now on, I will individually eliminate all potential hostile sea creature threats to the mermaid race. Unless you swear a solemn oath that your respective clans will never again cause trouble for the mermaid race within five hundred years, otherwise... no mercy!"

Senior Xu Yang issued a god-like command. He was the sole sovereign on this battlefield.

At this moment, seeing these guys around them completely dumbfounded, Ling Yao and Shi Lingyun also felt very pleased.

"Heh, I say, elders, weren't you treating us as enemies just now? Why are you all silent now?"

Facing Ling Yao's mockery, none of the mermaid elders dared to speak up in rebuttal, because they clearly knew that if they provoked Xu Yang and his two companions at this critical juncture, no one could bear the responsibility.

"Your Excellency is the supreme expert among humankind, may we know your name?"

"Tianlan Empire, Xu Yang."

The mermaid queen was greatly astonished. A peculiar radiance seemed to suddenly gleam in her eyes, but no one knew why she displayed such a demeanor.
