The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Breaking through level 60 also brought him a brand new skill, Ocean Storm.

[Ocean Storm (Golden Skill, unleashes a powerful storm with a wide-ranging impact, causing enemies within the storm to lose their direction and be constantly attacked.)]

Without hesitation, Ji Chen activated the skill.

Suddenly, a fierce storm raged on the sea surface, thunder snakes burst forth, and rolling waves swept away countless demons. The pouring rain formed an’ impenetrable curtain, instantly disorienting the demons who wanted to escape. “All troops, attack and annihilate the remaining demons!”

Upon hearing the command.

The army, which had been trapped on the city walls and endured blows, suddenly rushed out with momentum, slaughtering the demons devoid of any fighting spirit.

Facing the Ocean Crown’s army, which still retained its core strength, some demon leaders fiercely resisted with a small number of troops. However, under the relentless assault of several legendary tiers figures, dozens of legacy tier heroes, and hundreds of low-tier heroes, one by one, they fell with a heart full of unwillingness.

Thanks to the nurturing of a huge number of demons, the army’s levels were steadily increasing at a considerable pace, steadily marching towards level 60.

Looking at the battlefield where the situation was already decided, Ji Chen finally relaxed and looked at Lainekel, who had been standing still since killing Balzarna.

Unexpectedly, Lainekel’s expression was extremely calm, but the confusion in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.

Sensing Ji Chen’s gaze, he turned around, took a deep breath, and solemnly bowed.

Lord Ji Chen, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to avenge myself.”

Ji Chen didn’t say much, just accepted the thanks candidly. “Now that this matter is over, what are your plans next?”

“Plans?” Lainekel shook his head, “When I killed Balzarna, at that moment, my heart felt an unprecedented emptiness. I lost all my goals and didn’t know what to do.”

Ji Chen furrowed his brows. He thought of certain martial arts novels on Earth, where those who carried deep hatred and successfully avenged themselves would immediately enter a state of emptiness and would soon walk the path of self-destruction due to losing their goals.

It seemed that Lainekel had such tendencies.

After pondering for a moment, he smiled.

“Since you can’t find anything to do, why not continue to kill demons? Although the demon army led by the Dreadlord has been defeated, there are still four other demon armies, and they are still ravaging the lands and lives of the main world. We cannot sit idly by.

And who knows, maybe after we defeat all the demon lords and demons, as we did tens of thousands of years ago, we can trace our way back to their lairs and completely annihilate this evil race.”

Upon hearing Ji Chen’s words, Lainekel was stunned for a moment, and a glimmer seemed to appear in his eyes. He nodded quickly.

“Yes, there are still other demon lords who are still harming living beings. We cannot sit idly by.

Demons invade our land, seeking to destroy us, then we must also strike at their homes, completely annihilate this race, this is the principle of reciprocity, no, even the dark gods will be slaughtered!”

The more Lainekel spoke, the more excited he became, and even the words of slaughtering gods were said.

Ji Chen didn’t mind but instead burst into laughter.

In just one year, he was able to ascend to the epic tier. If he were given a few more years, touching the boundary of the gods would not be impossible. The source of all this suffering was those ambitious dark gods, and the root cause would eventually be traced back to them.

The slaughter continued from day to night, and from night until morning.

The storm had ceased.

When the fighting on the battlefield stopped, there was not a single demon left alive on the sea surface, only blood flowing like a river, with mountains of corpses.

Countless bodies drifted with the waves and even more sank to the bottom of the sea.

The experience gained from slaughtering a large number of demons caused Ji Chen’s experience bar to grow at a pleasing rate, breaking through a level and reaching level 64 by the next morning.

It only took him one night to reach level 64 from level 59.

This gave Ji Chen a rough idea of how to level up.

Killing Balzarna allowed him to gain 4 levels at once, while the experience indirectly gained from killing hundreds of thousands of demons only resulted in a single-level increase, the difference was clear at a glance.

With the death of the Dreadlord, there were only four of the five demon lords left. If he could kill one or two more, reaching level 70 seemed not too far away. He felt great.

But seeing the densely packed demon corpses on the sea surface, and the seawater contaminated into black, his mood turned sour again.

Killing demons was satisfying, but cleaning up the environment contaminated by demon blood was a headache.

Millions of demons perished here, and the accumulated blood contamination reached an alarming level. For at least a year, it would be difficult for the Stormy Sea to recover its fisheries production. Even ordinary creatures could not touch the seawater, as they would be easily harmed by the residual pollution.

“It seems we can’t treat our own home as the battlefield for future clashes with demons,” Ji Chen muttered to himself, beginning to formulate a rough plan.

With the war against the Dreadlord concluded, aside from cleaning up the pollution, the Crown of the Ocean needed time to recover. Despite the brilliant victory in this battle, where over three hundred thousand troops held off the onslaught of a million demons, the sacrifice was immense.

Of the over three hundred thousand troops, less than a hundred thousand remained. Fourth-tier units were completely wiped out, over 70% of fifth-tier units perished, and sixth-tier units suffered over 40% casualties.

The King Kong Island Guild, which brought over two hundred thousand troops, now had only a meager thirty to forty thousand left, suffering extremely heavy’ losses.

The Crown of the Ocean, with its fifth-tier units, had only three thousand­person squads remaining, and sixth-tier units numbered just over ten thousand.

As for hero units, the Dragon Island’s powerful dragons suffered heavy losses, with over seventy dragons killed, representing one-sixth of their population, a significant blow to their already limited reproductive capacity.

The more than one hundred Deep Sea Dragons that came this time suffered slightly fewer casualties, but still over twenty of them perished, accounting for one-fifth of their number.

Therefore, even though they achieved victory, there was a pervasive sense of sadness among the dragons.

In a large semi-covered refrigerated warehouse on the island, the bodies of the fallen dragons were temporarily stored. Frost runes on the surrounding walls and floor slowed the rate of decay of the dragon carcasses.

Babatos, with the remaining dragons, circled around the warehouse, the mournful cries of dragons echoing around them.

Ji Chen approached, looking at the dragon carcasses inside the warehouse, some broken, some still intact, and said softly as he walked up to them.

“Please accept my condolences.”

Babatos shook his head. “From the moment we accepted your commission, every dragon was mentally prepared. Each dragon sacrificed itself in the battle against the demons. Death in battle is the highest honor for a dragon.”

Ji Chen nodded. “The rewards agreed upon earlier will be paid to you immediately as soon as the Elven Empire sends the first batch of wealth from Gloria. This includes rewards and compensation for injuries and the fallen.

Every penny will be given to you sincerely.”

Babatos nodded heavily, his face still burdened with sorrow as if no compensation could dispel the sadness he felt for the loss of his kin.

But then, he continued, “In a few days, we will take the bodies of our kin back to Dragon Island. Serena will stay here to handle the handover of the rewards.

Of course, if demons attack again during this time, she can also act as a force of resistance.”

Ji Chen nodded slightly.

“Of course, Serena can stay at the Crown of the Ocean for as long as she wants.”

“Is that true!?” Babatos’ eyes lit up suddenly.

Ji Chen was slightly taken aback.

“Of course it’s true.”

That’s great! This way, Serena can… ahem, this way, she can better handle handover of the rewards.”

Babatos coughed violently, masking his face again.

After this battle, he truly realized Ji Chen’s boundless potential. To possess the power of the ocean at such a young age was remarkable.

The power of the ocean belonged to the realm of the gods. Even the Dreadlord, who was above epic level, was constantly hindered by the power of the ocean and ultimately had his body destroyed.

If such formidable power could give birth to a half-dragon, half-human offspring, perhaps they could inherit some of the power of the ocean. In that case, they would hit the jackpot!

By then, apart from a dragon descendant with the potential to become a deity, their dragon clan would give birth to another divine being as well!
