Seeing a strange army suddenly appear and surround them, both the Dragon King City and Coral Palace armies were momentarily stunned, some unsure of what to do. However, under the respective orders of their leaders, they retreated to their own formations, remaining on high alert.

The two monster leaders looked wary, their expressions alert as they observed the sudden appearance of this foreign army.

Their gazes swept over soldiers of various types they had never seen before in the Great Luminescent Sea, but without exception, each of them exuded a powerful aura. In their hearts, they couldn’t help but marvel in amazement.

Where could such an elite force come from?

Could it be the secret army of the Dragon King City or the Coral Palace?

But as they glanced at each other, they quickly dismissed this guess.

Just as both sides were speculating about their origin and intentions, the unfamiliar army slowly parted, revealing a figure that no one had expected.

A human!?

“It can’t be, how could a human appear in the depths of the sea?!”

The shrimp leader exclaimed, his face filled with disbelief.

The half-fish being leader of the Coral Palace was also somewhat incredulous. Humans were supposed to live only on the surface of the sea, so how could they survive at such depths?

Ji Chen looked at both sides, who were equally shocked.

He calmly said, “Tell me the location of the relic you mentioned.”

“It’s impossible! It belongs to Water Dragon Lord!” The shrimp leader of the Dragon King City immediately retorted without hesitation.

They had searched for so long and had only recently found some clues. Along the way, they had even clashed with the Coral Palace army that tried to seize it, resulting in the deaths and injuries of many soldiers.

He had hoped to present whatever they obtained from the relic to the Water Dragon Lord to earn his favor.

Furthermore, according to the clues, that relic contained a powerful treasure…

Now, this human wanted to take it away with just a few words?

The half-fish being leader of the Coral Palace hesitated slightly but responded decisively, “As long as you help us eliminate the Dragon King City’s thousand-man team, then we of the Coral Palace are willing to tell you the location of this relic.”

Although they didn’t know what had happened or where this army had come from, they had learned that the Dragon King City’s army had found a lost relic, and they simply wanted to obstruct them from obtaining it.

As long as it didn’t fall into the hands of the latter, it would be acceptable.

Ji Chen nodded, and it became clear what needed to be done.

With a sweeping gesture, the vigilant Ocean Crown Army moved into action.

Water Nymph Archers and Silver Sea Pixies unleashed a storm of arrows and magic upon the enemy formation. The scales of the shrimp soldiers and crab warriors were no match for the sharp arrows and magical energy bombardment. They fell one by one.

Lobster Guardian Knights transformed into makeshift battering rams, charging through the enemy ranks. Their giant lobster mounts impaled the enemy lines with their sharp spikes, creating chaos. With the acceleration of their mounts, the knights’ long spears pierced through multiple enemies like skewered candy apples.

In just over ten minutes, the remaining less than a thousand Dragon King City’s thousand-man team members had all fallen, their blood staining the seawater.

“Ding- Your subordinates have eliminated a Dragon King City’s thousand-man team, gaining 69,800 experience points.”

Nearly 70,000 experience points from one thousand-man team was quite good. If he considered the 24 thousand-man teams officially claimed by the Dragon King City, it would be approximately 1.6 million experience points.

This substantial experience would be enough to level him up from level 40 to 42.

If combined with the Coral Palace’s army, wouldn’t he reach level 45?

Hmm- Just thinking about it was rather tempting.

The half-fish being leader of the Coral Palace didn’t know what this powerful human, capable of walking on the seabed, was thinking, but he felt that the way the human was looking at him had become somewhat unsettling.

It was as if he was looking at… a piece of meat.

Suppressing his anxiety and worries, he quickly swam up to approach Ji Chen and respectfully said, “Mighty one, may I ask where you come from? What brings you to the Great Luminescent Sea?”

A moment ago, he witnessed those powerful unknown forces effortlessly defeat the Dragon King City’s army, a force they had been struggling to combat.

He could imagine that if Ji Chen wanted to eliminate them, it would probably be effortless.

“I am Ji Chen, the Lord of the Ocean Crown. 1 come from another world, and the reason for my arrival here is to search for rare resources, powerful treasures, and military recruitment camp cores.

Now that I’ve helped you deal with the Dragon King City’s thousand-man team, you should fulfill your promise.” This chapter is updated by (f)ir(e).nᴇt

The half-fish being leader immediately nodded and said, “Of course, we of the Coral Palace always keep our promises. 1 will take you to the location of the relic.

However, before that, please allow me to send a team of soldiers back to the Coral Palace to report this victory. After all, directly eliminating an entire Dragon King City’s thousand-man team is excellent news.”

Ji Chen nodded slightly, agreeing to this arrangement.

After sending his trusted subordinates, the half-half-fish being leader led the way through the dense seaweed forest.

On the way, he curiously asked, “Lord Ji Chen, you mentioned that you come from another world. What is that world like? Is it even larger than the Great Luminescent Sea?”

“At the very least, it’s billions and billions of times bigger than the Great Luminescent Seas.”

“Billions and billions of times!?” The half-fish being leader was greatly astonished. In his concept, the Great Luminescent Sea was already enormous, so how could there be a place billions and billions of times bigger?”

He couldn’t even imagine it.

However, he vaguely remembered that there were rumors that the Great Luminescent Sea used to be connected to another much larger world long ago. The two were connected through a “gateway”.

But for some reason, starting from a certain point in time, the “gateway” had closed, and the connection between the two worlds had abruptly ceased.

Did Ji Chen’s origin match the world talked about in those rumors?

He kept musing as they quickly reached the depths of the forest.

“According to the intelligence, it seems that the relic is nearby,” the half-mermaid leader muttered while looking around.

But Ji Chen had already sensed it. On the omniscience map, there was a blank area nearby, devoid of giant seaweed.

Ignoring the still-puzzled half-fish being leader, Ji Chen took the lead and moved forward.

Passing through several giant seaweed structures resembling towering skyscrapers, the scenery suddenly opened up before them.

On a very spacious open area stood a series of underwater structures.

The walls made of bluestone were meticulously constructed, and stone pillars with exquisite sculptures stood tall everywhere. Temple-like buildings were scattered throughout.

Fish swam through the triangular spaces formed by collapsed stone pillars and the hollows of the structures, creating a serene and pleasant atmosphere.

Ji Chen’s expression became more serious.

Judging from their appearance, this was undoubtedly a long-lost architectural complex.

However, how could there be buildings with such a human civilization style here?

From the moment he left Catfish Village, Ji Chen knew that in this Great Luminescent Sea, the houses inhabited by sea creatures were either composed of giant corals, located within rock caves, or even made from the shells of giant snails.

But it was definitely not these stone-built structures with a human civilization style.

The sea creatures had neither the necessity nor the desire for such structures.

When the half-fish being leader who had followed up saw this scene, he immediately froze.

He had never expected that in such deep-sea depths, clearly within the world of sea creatures, there would be human-like structures.

Without thinking too much about it, Ji Chen led his army inside, weaving through the ruins.

Observing the white stone walls and pillars, even though they had collapsed, he could still glimpse the grandeur of the temples and palaces when they were intact.

However, in this world that belonged to sea creatures, in a place that ordinary people could not reach, these structures appeared, making him think of Atlantis, submerged by a great flood.

Although this was definitely not Atlantis, it was undoubtedly related to humans, or rather, the humans of this hidden realm.

According to the Catfish Village Chief’s words, there were still many humans living on the surface. Once he finished here, he planned to float to the surface to see what these humans were like.

On the ever-present omniscience map, red dots gradually appeared as they delved deeper.

Ji Chen’s expression hardened, and he ordered, “All personnel, be on guard, form up, and prepare for battle!”
