Benbo and Herald also said one after another, “Let us go in first to investigate, my lord, and you can follow.”

Ji Chen didn’t refuse. As a lord, his safety was undoubtedly a priority among all. He didn’t hesitate and said, “Let Benbo go in first, and if he encounters danger, he can quickly withdraw using his speed advantage.”

Benbo nodded, picked up his trident, and swiftly swam towards the portal, plunging into it, creating ripples and disappearing.

They waited in silence.

More than ten minutes passed, and Benbo still hadn’t returned, but the lord’s panel showed that he hadn’t died.

However, the time without his return made Ji Chen furrow his brows.

Time continued to pass slowly, half an hour had already gone by, and there was still no sign of Benbo.

Alice whispered, “My lord, the Bass Kingdom’s warships have started moving again…”

Ji Chen nodded, and suddenly his face changed because he felt a tremendously powerful energy rapidly approaching from the sea beyond.

This energy was as enormous as a mountain, as vast as the deep sea, and its unbridled frenzy caused the sea to churn with towering waves, transmitting through every inch of seawater.

Wave after wave of savage, ferocious, ruthless, and cold-blooded auras surged forth, crowding every inch of space in this world in an instant.

These were far from the emanations of ordinary creatures.

Before this, he had only felt something similar from the elf Elin, who was an epic-tier powerhouse.

Meanwhile, on the surface of the sea, the horde of sea creatures grew restless, their excited roars echoing in a chorus, as if welcoming their king.

Ji Chen furrowed his brows deeply, pondering the unusual behavior of these sea creatures gathering here. The hints and pieces of information slowly connected in his mind, all pointing to the presence of an unidentified entity and a formidable surge of energy.

He suddenly raised his head, could it be that this was the mighty sea beast that triggered the sea beast tide!?

At this moment, the deep sea Naga hero Herald’s face was also filled with seriousness, and his hoarse voice rang out, “My lord, the bloodline of this thing has already had a certain influence on me…”

Ji Chen’s heart sank even further.

Even the legendary-tier Herald had been affected to some extent by its bloodline, indicating that this was probably that powerful sea beast.

But he had no interest in directly confronting such a formidable sea beast that could trigger a sea beast tide.

At this moment, a piercing and indistinguishable cry, like no known creature, resounded throughout the entire world, even though they were underwater, they could hear this sound carrying a psychic attack.

There was no more time to waste.

Ji Chen ordered in a deep voice, “Everyone, enter the portal!”

The Ocean Crown army didn’t hesitate, and under the leadership of various heroes, they entered the portal one after another, disappearing entirely.

On the surface of the sea, Duoru stared in stupefaction at the terrifying behemoth in the distance, taller than a city wall. His entire being was plunged into a state of shock, and his soul trembled.

“What in the world is this…?”

Beside him, the Deceiver urged, “Your Excellency Duoru, the purpose of this massive sea beast is also this divine relic site. We’d better enter the relic as soon as possible, or both you and I, along with the two fleets, will perish here.” Duoru suddenly erupted in anger, grabbing the Deceiver’s collar forcefully. His voice was as icy as the coldest winter, “You knew in advance that this monster would come here, didn’t you!?”

The Deceiver replied calmly, “Whether 1 did or not, we are still here. You need the divine treasures to turn the tide of the war, and we also need what’s inside. It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement.”

Duoru glared at him but eventually let go and turned to his adjutant, speaking sharply, “Spread my orders, all ships accelerate into the portal!”

“Once those sea beasts attack, use the cannons to greet them mercilessly!”

The ships of the two fleets maximized their power, their propellers spinning rapidly, propelling the vessels straight toward the enormous portal. At the same time, the cannons on their decks erupted in flames, shattering into pieces the sea beasts that had already gone out of control and charged towards them from both sides and the front.

One by one, the warships collided with the massive portal and then disappeared.

Seeing this scene, the giant beast let out an angry roar and rushed forward in a frenzy. It crushed countless sea beasts beneath its massive body without any restraint.

However, when its body touched the portal, it emitted a painful sound. Its entire body recoiled as if it had touched a scorching hot anvil, only able to let out an unwilling roar and wildly swing its enormous body, smashing innocent sea beasts around it into pieces.

Ji Chen entered the portal, and everything in front of him turned white. He found himself in another unfamiliar sea area.

The water was very cold but with high clarity.

This was a sea area that seemed like it was in the polar regions. Above, a thick layer of ice formed on the sea surface. Enormous icebergs, larger than hills, connected between the ice layers, reflecting the surrounding environment.

Plump giant fish swam lazily between the underwater icebergs, looking curiously at the group of people.

The sunlight struggled to penetrate the ice layer, but it couldn’t make anyone feel even a hint of warmth.

Everything before their eyes was an interplay of white and blue. The ice-blue color dominated this world.

Ji Chen surveyed the surroundings, confirmed that there was no immediate danger, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Lord, all the troops have assembled, and not a single one has been left behind,” said Herald, adding..
