Seeing that he could inflict such damage with just a casual strike, Ji Chen couldn’t help but smile again.

In the past, he had to use specific weapons like swords, spears, and axes to harm his enemies. But now, he could inflict harm through the compression of seawater, a significant demonstration of his enhanced water manipulation abilities.

The former method was superficial, while the latter delved into the essence of water control, resulting in a significantly faster killing speed.

He called it efficiency.

The changes brought about by the power of the ocean were enormous. His primary profession, the Tidal Dominator, which was originally at the Orange Legend tier, had evolved into the Golden Epic tier as the Ocean Dominator. Though both held the title of Dominator, one was Tidal and the other was Ocean, making it clear who was superior.

Looking at the series of golden skills on his panel, anyone would feel immense joy.

Furthermore, his Lord Talent, “Sea’s Favor,” had also evolved, acquiring a brand new feature.

Within the ocean s range, immunity to certain death, curses, and tracking effects and skills. This directly nullified a considerable number of malicious skills.

Ji Chen wasn’t afraid to confront opponents head-on, but he dreaded those sneaky creatures lurking in the shadows, casting curses and tracking spells on him, making him feel sick and uncomfortable.

What surprised him the most was gaining a chance at resurrection, even though it was a one-time opportunity, its immense value couldn’t be concealed.

This meant having an extra life!

With an additional life in the game, he could take even bolder actions.

Lt was like having an added layer of insurance.

Apart from this, Ji Chen could sense that there were more changes to his body and strength, but he would need to take the time to experience and feel them in the days to come.

Returning to his senses, Ji Chen looked at the enormous trident. After absorbing the power of the ocean, it had become dim and lifeless, as if it had lost all its spirituality. The gentle ripples of water suddenly turned into a burst of powder.

This so-called divine weapon was, in essence, a manifestation of the ocean s power condensed by that giant divine being. The trident s form was merely an external representation.

Once the ocean s power that composed it was completely absorbed by him, it naturally couldn’t maintain its form and disintegrated.

Without wasting any more time, Ji Chen beckoned, leading the heroes and the remaining troops back to the shore.

When rhe elves on the shore saw them emerging from the water, a deep sense of joy appeared on their faces.

Arlin stepped forward, intending to say something, but when she saw Ji Chen’s face, her face suddenly turned uncontrollably red.

Why did she feel that Ji Chen had become even more handsome? His eyes were as deep and captivating as obsidian, and his aura was as mysterious and profound as the vast ocean.

With a trembling voice, she asked, “Lord Ji Chen, did you…succeed?11

Ji Chen climbed onto the shore, smiled faintly, and nodded. “1 didn’t disappoint you.”

“That’s wonderful!”

The elves showed expressions of joy, but at that moment, the sound of artillery fire suddenly rang out in the distance.

Ji Chen raised his head and quickly grinned.

Those two Bass Kingdom fleets were under heavy attack by a large number of aquatic deviant ghosts, looking quite disorganized.

If he guessed correctly, those must be the aquatic deviant ghosts that had besieged Anina and her group but were frightened away by his strike. It was quite a coincidence that they had run into the belated Bass Kingdom fleets.

Ji Chen turned to Arlin and said with a smile, “Look, our ride is here.”

Duoru looked at the grimacing deviant ghosts crawling on the ship’s rails and decks, and his eyelids twitched.

Damn it, how could these ghostly creatures still move underwater? They took them completely by surprise.

One of the escort ships suffered a dire fate. These relentless ghostly creatures threw themselves recklessly into rhe slowly rotating propeller. The propeller overheated and triggered an explosion, blasting a hole in the ship s rear. Sea water surged in, bringing the deviant ghosts directly into the compartments, where they ruthlessly devoured every soldier within.

This was the first battleship they lost since the third and fourth fleers set out on their expedition. Lt sunk dramatically in the icy sea.

But if they could obtain that divine relic, these losses would be tolerable.

“How far are we from that divine relic?”

“It’s gone…”

“What do you mean, it’s gone?” Duoru frowned and pressed for more information.

“The aura of the divine relic has disappeared.”

Duoru looked at the Deceiver, who was staring blankly at rhe compass spinning wildly in his hand as if he had realized something.

Doesn’t this mean…the divine relic has already been taken?!

His expression suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth.

Damn it, it must be those thieves. They found the location of the divine relic before them.

With the guidance of the compass, they spent a full two days traversing this dozens of kilometers of icy and glacier-covered terrain.

Duoru couldn’t understand how those thieves could find the location of the divine relic so quickly and accurately.

However, since the aura had just disappeared, it meant that the thieves hadn’t gone too far yet. If they could catch up to them, they might still have a chance to recover it!

With that in mind, Duoru gave a stern command, “Full firepower, rake care of these damned deviant ghosts! Keep moving forward!

We’re going to reclaim what’s rightfully ours from those vile thieves!”

“No need to search anymore, I’ve arrived.”

A faint voice echoed in Duoru’s ears, and his expression instantly changed as he looked up at a figure not far away.

A young man in a deep blue robe, with several rings on his fingers and a wisp of blue in his hair, was standing calmly on the water’s surface, looking at him with a hint of mockery in his eyes..
