Chapter 540: Gods and Giants

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After reuniting with Alice, under the guidance of the elven party led by Arlin, they headed towards the Fallen Sea. This frozen wilderness was covered in a labyrinth of intersecting ice rivers, and beneath the thick ice layers were navigable waterways, so there was no need to worry about the Lobster Guardian Knights and Dragon Horn Catfish, pure water-based troops, being unable to march. However, it did take a bit more time.

As they approached the core area of the frozen wilderness, the howling winds grew stronger, and a snowstorm gradually swept in.

Snowflakes, like flying blades, fell, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.

Elf Arlin, struggling against the blowing snow with her cloak, spoke loudly.

“Lord Ji Chen, 1 think we should find a place to take shelter from the snowstorm, or we could easily get lost in this frozen wilderness.”

Ji Chen, who was already wearing the Deep Sea Dragon Scale Robe, squinted at the relentless snowstorm, which showed no sign of stopping and even seemed to be intensifying. He pondered.

“How far are we from the Fallen Sea?”

“About two-thirds of the way there.”

“Alright, let’s take a break.”

After saying that, to the surprise of Arlin and the other elves, Ji Chen commanded the army to blast a large hole in the ice and then had them jump in one by one.

“Jump in.”

Arlin and the others exchanged glances. Experience told them that if they jumped into the water, they would be quickly swallowed up by the frigid seawater.

However, when they opened their eyes, they saw a huge bubble enveloping them, keeping the seawater out.

Ji Chen and his troops moved freely in the water as if they were on land. Arlin and the others instantly understood that this was a military unit capable of underwater combat!

No wonder they could cross the ocean to reach this frozen wilderness and even go to the Fallen Sea to obtain that thing.

Thinking of the harsh conditions in the Fallen Sea, Arlin felt that this journey might have a better chance of success with Lord Ji Chen leading them. Perhaps he could really obtain the divine weapon and then lead them out!

This sudden snowstorm not only halted Ji Chen’s advance but also had a similar effect on the Bass Kingdom’s fleet approaching from a different direction, making them come to a sudden stop as well.

Even the most formidable steel warships had no choice but to anchor and tremble in the presence of this devastating snowstorm, enduring its relentless onslaught.

“Damn it, how could a snowstorm suddenly arise?”

Duoru looked at the snowflakes crashing against the windowpane with an angry expression.

Since setting out on the journey to find the divine relic, he felt like he had been having a streak of bad luck.

First, the propeller was entangled in underwater plants, almost leading to an attack by a ridiculously large sea beast. Then, they were attacked by a large group of deviant ghosts right under his nose. Following that, a group of thieves stole his Tree of Life and Water of Life, and now they were suddenly caught in a snowstorm.

Damn it, was someone or something working against him!?

“How far are we from that divine relic?”

Deceiver Duanbi, holding a glowing ancient compass in his hand, answered in a hoarse voice, “About forty to fifty kilometers.”

Duoru cursed silently again. If not for this damn snowstorm, they would have arrived long ago. What worried him most now was whether those thieves would find the divine relic ahead of them. That was something he couldn’t accept.

But with the snowstorm raging outside so fiercely, those thieves probably can’t make any progress either, right?

A day had passed since the snowstorm began.

Ten meters below the ice.

The snowstorm above the ice had no impact here. Thousands of aquatic troops floated like statues around, awaiting the orders of their supreme lord.

“Lord Ji Chen, shall we continue forward?”

Arlin looked surprised at the man before her, dressed in splendid robes and exuding an extraordinary aura.

Ji Chen nodded slightly. Just now, he received a message from Wang Shanyue that the Lienhardt army had already reached the gates of Ilkand City, and the siege would begin shortly. If everything went according to plan, the downfall of the Bass Kingdom was already a countdown.

He couldn’t afford to waste more time here. It was essential to acquire the divine weapon quickly and head to the Bass Kingdom to participate in the final battle.

“But the snowstorm is still raging, and we can’t proceed on the surface.”

“Then we’ll move forward underwater,” Ji Chen said with an authoritative tone. “You just need to indicate the general direction. I won’t lose my way underwater.”

Arlin seemed stunned by Ji Chen’s words, and she couldn’t muster any objection. She nodded obediently.

Using his water control abilities, Ji Chen isolated Arlin and the other elves in a bubble, protecting them from the seawater. With their guidance, the group moved forward under the ice. Although the need to accommodate the elves significantly slowed their pace, they were, in fact, making progress toward their destination.

Two days later.

The snowstorm gradually subsided, and Ji Chen and his group were now very close to their destination.

Finally, after bypassing an ice mountain about the size of a small island, the Ocean Crown troops leaped out of the water like flying fish and landed steadily on the ice. They had reached the so-called Fallen Sea..
