In her weakened state, being capable of unleashing such potent spells, wouldn’t it be even more catastrophic when she was at her peak?

Ji Chen felt that he had gained some preliminary understanding of the strength of epic tier, high level heroes.

In summary, epic tier heroes are truly terrifying-

Under the two magic arrays that could shoot out infinite fireballs and ice spikes, the battle quickly came to an end.

The magic arrays gradually dissipated in the air, leaving behind only debris scattered on the ground and a pockmarked surface.

Elin came back, somewhat embarrassed, and handed back the amplification staff, “This staff couldn’t withstand my power and got damaged.”

At that moment, Ji Chen glanced and felt a sudden throb in his brow.

My goodness, this couldn’t even be called a staff anymore; it had clearly turned into a torch. The gem on top had shattered completely, leaving only a small fragment at the bottom. The staff’s body was also covered in dense cracks, as if it was about to disintegrate in the next moment.

Seeing that Elin took care of the wave of skeleton sea creatures, Ji Chen didn’t say much. He shook his head nonchalantly and took it back, “It’s okay, it’s just a 2-star treasure, nothing important. Alright, let’s not waste anymore time and leave here quickly.”

Both Elin and Thotmudo nodded.

The group began to move on.

Before heading to the Mystic Realm Gate, Ji Chen made a detour to the place where the bodies of the fallen half-orcs were buried. He dug them out from the gravel, wrapped them in shrouds, and brought them back to be buried in his territory.

After another day and night of continuous travel, Ji Chen and his group returned to the front of the Mystic Realm Gate. The massive red vortex was still spinning silently on the hill.

The blood-red hue and unsettling ambiance of the realm bore resemblance to the environment around them, causing unfamiliar individuals to believe they were entering another perilous zone. However, Ji Chen and his companions were aware that this was the sole gateway to the Crown of the Ocean within their domain.

Behind the vortex lay a vibrant sea island with sunlight, sandy beaches, azure skies, and gentle sea breezes. Gone were the eerie blood moon, desolate deserts, and endless hordes of skeletons.

A rough estimate showed that they had spent nearly a week in this realm. Even Ji Chen himself was starting to feel eager to return home.

Elin looked at the Mystic Realm Gate and smiled, “It’s been thousands of years since I’ve been to the outside world. Now, I’m looking forward to it, and I’m curious about what your territory looks like.”

Even Thotmudo, who had always been at odds with Elin, agreed and nodded, “Human kid, let’s get out of here as soon as possible. I don’t want to stay in this broken place for even another minute.”

Ji Chen chuckled. “I believe the Crown of the Ocean won’t disappoint you. In that case, let’s go out now.”

With that, he took the lead and walked into the Mystic Realm Gate, disappearing in an instant.

A flash of white light, and a bright scene unfolded before his eyes—lively forests, sprawling cities, and numerous Ruins Guardians guarding the entrance.

More importantly, as soon as he returned here, Ji Chen felt much more comfortable, and his familiar and formidable power quickly returned to him.

A small number of lizardmen stationed there saw his return and respectfully approached to greet him.

“How many days have passed since I entered the Mystic Realm Gate?”

“Reporting, Lord, it has been six days.”

Six days. It seemed that the flow of time in the main world and the Mystic Realm was consistent.

“What has happened in the Crown of the Ocean during these days?”

“Nothing, everything is progressing as planned.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen nodded, waved for them to step back, and turned his gaze.

By now, Elin and Thotmudo had also come out of the Mystic Realm Gate and were looking around with curiosity.

“Is this your territory? It doesn’t seem to have many people or buildings, a bit desolate.”

“No, the Crown of the Ocean is on the main island. This area is just waiting to be developed.”

Compared to Elin, who was observing the environment, Thotmudo, once out of the Mystic Realm Gate, focused on the Ruins Guardians standing on both sides.

His tone was somewhat solemn as he said, “Human, where did you get these Ruins Guardians from? They are quite extraordinary.”

“These big fellows were found in an ancient land of the divine realm.”

“No wonder…” Thotmudo suddenly had a realization. “The ability to seamlessly incorporate alchemical techniques into these guardians like this is something only deities can effortlessly accomplish.”

After speaking, he looked earnestly at Ji Chen and pointed to the Ruins Guardians, asking, “Could you lend me one of these alchemical guardians for research?”

Research?

Ji Chen was slightly surprised, but quickly understood.

“Of course, besides these Ruins Guardians, there are also the Ocean Guardians and Sky Guardians. I can lend you one of each.”

Dwarves were not only renowned for their exceptional forging techniques but also their alchemical skills.

If he could study the technology behind the creation of these alchemical guardians and replicate it, it would be beneficial for the Crown of the Ocean.

Upon receiving Ji Chen’s prompt agreement, Thotmudo nodded and was keen to begin his research right away. However, his weariness from the journey and the immediate impracticality of research restrained him from doing so at that moment.

Once all the troops were confirmed to have returned, Ji Chen walked up to the Mystic Realm Crystal and closed the Mystic Realm Gate.

As the energy output ceased, the massive vortex slowly dissipated.

This also meant that their journey in the Mystic Realm had finally come to an end.

Ji Chen had to admit that the experience of this journey in the Mystic Realm had far exceeded his previous expectations..
