The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Chapter 798: More Divine Power Trees!

The sea clan lords present all sucked in a cold breath simultaneously.

This turtle was just too massive, resembling an island in size. The spell towers erected on its back and the arrow towers equipped with alchemical machinery emitted a lethal sense of danger.

Surrounded by watchful armies, the aura they exuded made their hearts skip a beat.

Soon, some lords recognized this giant turtle.

A sea salamander-shaped sea clan lord exclaimed in disbelief, “Isn’t this the giant turtle that belongs to Victor, the Lord of the Waves? How could it appear here? Could it be that he obtained the artifact!?”

Victor’s territory was adjacent to his own, and just a few months ago, he had joined forces with several other lords to expel him and divide his territory.

Without a territory, it was impossible to acquire resources, let alone muster such a powerful army or build so many spell towers.

He had once thought that Victor, who had been expelled, was long dead. But unexpectedly, the giant turtle, which had always been by his side, appeared outside this divine shrine.

The sea salamander lord raised his head to look up, and his six round white eyes tried to find Victor, but instead, they saw a figure they had never expected.

A human!?

The ocean belonged to the sea clans, a fact that had remained unchanged for hundreds of thousands of years.

Although humans and other races appeared to occupy the majority of islands and land on the surface of the sea, they only had access to a tiny fraction of the ocean’s resources. The core and primary resources were all hidden beneath the rolling waves.

Even the ocean gods of the Ocean Divine Lineage, who resided in the high heavens, were mostly born of the sea clans, or at least had some connection to them.

Only the sea clans, who were born, grew up, lived, and died in the ocean, could glimpse and reap the most precious resources of the sea.

The most fundamental of these resources, the layers of seawater, acted as a barrier, making it difficult for other races to stay for too long.

For hundreds of thousands of years after the Divine War, the sea clans, despite suffering great trauma, were still protected by the ocean, facing no external crises and continuing to thrive at a steady pace.

Their distribution and power were extremely scattered, with no signs of unification.

On the mainland, for hundreds of thousands of years, one fallen kingdom after another was destroyed by rising resistance forces. These resistance forces would change their names and establish new kingdoms on the ruins of the old ones, only to gradually decline after one or two hundred years and be destroyed again by newly emerged resistance forces.

This cycle continued endlessly, shaping the course of history.

As the saying goes, when a country is invincible abroad, it is doomed to perish at home.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the sea clans suffered a sudden blow from the invading demon army during the Divine War, causing their once glorious oceanic kingdoms to be almost completely destroyed.

Now, they seemed to understand the method of resistance — as long as they did not have an oceanic kingdom, they could not be destroyed.

In the present Mid Ocean, there were only scattered sea clan tribes and settlements, but not even a regional oceanic kingdom.

At this moment, the appearance of a human in this deep sea brought them a shock comparable to seeing a god.

Especially when it seemed that he had obtained the artifact that belonged to them.

“How could there be a human here? Could it be from that island?”

“Damn it, I said I wanted to kill those humans and elves. Now look, a human has obtained the divine object that belongs to our sea clan!”

“We can’t let him leave here alive. Kill him and seize the artifact!”

For these sea clan lords who were accustomed to ruling and dominating, the sight of someone from a different race made them all restless, their eyes filled with killing intent.

Although this turtle was enormous, the sea salamander lord had fought with it when he expelled Victor.

The voices of agreement gradually increased, seemingly giving him more courage.

Maintaining a calm demeanor, he coldly addressed Ji Chen.

“Human, this divine artifact belongs to our oceanic race. Surrender the Ocean God’s Shrine, and we may let you leave!”

Ji Chen looked at the somewhat legendary and flabby salamander speaking to him in such a manner. He almost wanted to laugh at the audacity but couldn’t be bothered with playing along with such a pretense.

Raising his right hand, a miniature shrine appeared on the palm of his hand. The bronze gate behind him instantly disintegrated, turning into a stream of blue light that flowed into the shrine, leaving a door-shaped depression on the rock wall.

The moment the miniature shrine appeared, the eyes of all the oceanic lords present suddenly lit up with intense desire, as if the ocean itself was about to boil over with their burning greed and longing.

They wished nothing more than to possess it.

The Ocean God’s Shrine!

A divine artifact left behind by the gods!

At this moment, they were completely consumed by madness.

But before they could do anything, ripples visible to the naked eye suddenly spread out from the miniature model. In an instant, these oceanic lords felt as if a mountain had been pressed down upon them, immobilizing them at the bottom of the sea, rendering them unable to even move a finger.

Their eyes cleared instantly, replaced by expressions of fear.

[©Ocean God’s Suppression (Using the supreme power of the ocean, the Ocean God’s Shrine forcefully suppresses living beings within a certain range)]

Ji Chen looked at the prostrate oceanic lords with satisfaction and nodded.

The Ocean God’s Shrine skill was somewhat similar to the Ocean Domain, both creating a domain to suppress enemies. However, the former’s effect was more brutal and domineering, capable of forcibly subduing enemies..
