Chapter 791: Divine Power Crystal, Divine Power Troop

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Lord of the Waves, whom he had once defeated, came from the Sea of Death north of the Stormy Sea.

According to Thotmudo, the Sea of Death was not a desolate area, but rather teeming with diverse creatures, with some ocean warlords similar to the Lord of the Waves also occupying it.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen became quite interested.

In the past, when he was just a legendary-tier figure, the Sea of Death was a dangerous place for him. After all, even a failed loser like the Lord of the Waves, who managed to reach a legendary tier, escaped that place. So, the powerful ocean warlords inside must be at least epic-tier.

Epic-tier beings were still quite rare and powerful.

But now, Ji Chen’s strength has increased by more than a hundredfold compared to before. Just relying on the power above epic is enough to suppress a region.

However, the giant turtle once said that he was cursed for touching an artifact of the ocean deity—Ocean God’s Shrine. Considering the situation, perhaps this surge of ocean power was in this artifact.

With a clear goal in mind, and sensing that the nearest surge of ocean power was right across from his doorstep, Ji Chen quickly prepared to set out.

Naturally, the giant turtle had to come along. As a mobile strategic base, its fierce firepower, troop-carrying capacity, and comfort were all indispensable for the journey.

Are you worried about getting rushed by a massive force like this knocking at your door? In gaming terms, its like a sudden base assault.

After several hours of submersion, the giant turtle stopped at the entrance to the Sea of Death.

Emerging to the surface…

A breathtaking scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

The vast sea in front suddenly showed huge faults, and billions of gallons of seawater turned ninety degrees and rushed straight down into the endless abyss like the mouth of a giant beast, with no bottom in sight.

Looking straight ahead, thousands of kilometers before the fault, a towering black curtain stood like a wall, piercing through heaven and earth.

This scene seemed to be at the end of the world.

“This is the entrance to the Sea of Death. The abyss and the black curtain are remnants of the divine battle.”

The giant turtle said solemnly, “The abyss and the black curtain created a closed space, giving birth to an environment completely different from the outside world… Anyway, you’ll know once you go in.”

Ji Chen was intrigued by these words and no longer hesitated. He took out the map of the entrance to the Sea of Death.

This mapwais not an ordinary map but a guide.

The map emitted a faint light.

Swish—

The seawater floated up and condensed into a huge, wide water bridge above the fault, and a gap slowly opened in the black curtain on the other side.

“Let’s go in.”

The giant turtle nodded, paddling its limbs along the water bridge and diving into the black curtain.

Ji Chen felt the space being overturned, and darkness occupied his vision. His body seemed to pass through a membrane.

The next moment, they seemed to be transported to another place.

The sky here was as chaotic as the dimness, with no sunlight penetrating. Dimness was the theme of this place.

The blue-purple sea, scattered islands like chess pieces, and barren islands with only strange rocks eroded by sea winds, without a trace of vegetation, greeted them.

The sea surface was so calm that not even a wave was half-raised. Only the giant turtle paddling its limbs caused ripples to spread out in concentric circles as if some force was suppressing the entire world.

Silence, desolation, oppression—this was Ji Chen’s first impression of this place.

“This is how it is here, unlike the lively outside world. Food is scarce, land is limited, and the creatures living here fight each other. Chaos is the only theme here,” the giant turtle said. “Lord of the Waves, Victor, accidentally obtained that map, which allowed him to leave here and go to the outside world. Without the map’s guidance, even epic-tier beings would be unable to pass through the black curtain and the abyss.”

Ji Chen nodded understandingly. No wonder there were still creatures living in this ghostly place—it turned out they were trapped here.

It was like the elves in the Vale, a mystic realm in the ancient battlefield of the divine war. They had been trapped in that icy wilderness for tens of thousands of years. If it weren’t for Ji Chen going in and bringing them out, they would probably have had to wait for another tens of thousands of years.

“No time to lose. Giant turtle, take me to that artifact of the ocean deity.”

“That artifact is deep inside. Along the way, we will pass through the control zones of many ocean warlords. Be prepared for battle.”

“No problem, I can handle it myself,” Ji Chen said nonchalantly, shaking his head.

The giant turtle didn’t say anything either and began paddling its claws towards the depths of the Sea of Death.

It knew Ji Chen’s strength. With power above epic and the authority of the elements, even in the Sea of Death, where the law of the jungle was taken to the extreme, he had no opponents.

The resources here were simply too scarce. The creatures fought to the death, but in the end, they could only obtain meager resources. The powerful gradually lost strength, while the weak lacked resources for growth.

The overall strength had been declining over the millennia.

The deeper they went into the Sea of Death, the more they could feel its desolation. Everything they saw was filled with decay and decline. But what surprised Ji Chen was that this place seemed to produce some things that the outside world didn’t have.

On an island roughly the size of the giant turtle’s shell, amidst the rugged and broken rocks, stood strange plants that resembled dragon blood trees.

With trunks as sturdy as rocks and branches extending upwards like veins, the densely packed gray-white branches intertwined to form a thorn-like crown..
