Before them lay an enormous crater, seemingly formed by the impact of a massive meteor. Seawater had poured in, creating a vast expanse akin to an ocean.

Countless chunks of ice floated on the surface, each one housing frozen skeletons. In the gaps between these floating ice chunks, there were numerous bodies, packed together like dumplings in a boiling pot. The water was filled with an uncountable number of corpses, their expressions frozen in their final moments of life.

Even though Ji Chen and his companions had mentally prepared themselves, they couldn’t help but be deeply moved by this sight.

How many bodies were here? It was astonishing that they nearly filled the entire surface of the water.

“Lord Ji Chen, this is indeed the Fallen Sea,” Arlin whispered softly, her eyes still filled with shock.

Despite having been here before, she remained awed. There were at least a hundred thousand corpses of faithful believers just on the water’s surface, with many more submerged deeper below.

From this spot, one could catch a glimpse of the brutal battle of faith that occurred tens of thousands of years ago. Under the guidance of the gods, countless fanatical believers fought to the death for their faith. The river ran red with blood, and broken weapons piled up like mountains.

Ji Chen nodded slowly, his expression puzzled as he asked, “So, where is that divine weapon?”

“It’s right at the deepest part of this water area, in the enormous crater that created this place when the object fell from the sky.”

Ji Chen gazed at the expanse of water before him, spanning at least several kilometers, and couldn’t help but be amazed. Indeed, it was a divine weapon, and its grandeur was truly impressive.

If an ordinary person were to arrive here, they would undoubtedly be at a loss when faced with the profound depths of the water. They would be unable to overcome the obstacles of oxygen and water pressure to venture deep beneath the surface. However, for Ji Chen and his companions, this was no obstacle at all; the aquatic environment was their domain!

“We can only wait for you here, Lord Ji Chen. We wish you every success.”

Ji Chen nodded slightly.

Without wasting any time, he waved his hand, and one by one, they leaped into the water.

As Ji Chen and the others disappeared on the water’s surface, Arlin and the other elves began to pray silently.

“Oh great Mother Goddess of the Elves, may you protect Lord Ji Chen and grant him his wishes.”

The moment they entered this water expanse, Ji Chen felt an icy chill, not just physically but also in his soul.

In these dark and gloomy waters, filled with drifting corpses, countless souls, both human, elven, and orc, seemed to converge upon them.

They appeared grotesque, with vacant eyes, pallid faces, and dry, skeletal arms reaching out as if to drag them into the depths, all destined to perish in an eternal abyss.

Ji Chen snorted coldly. The majesty of his legendary profession and the aura of the Deep Sea Dragon Scale Robe suddenly burst forth. These vengeful spirits screamed in terror as if they had encountered scalding hot oil, their eyes filled with boundless fear. They vanished from sight without looking back.

The strong presence of his profession, his noble lineage, and his own robust power had a powerful and deadly effect on these vengeful spirits, which were essentially undead beings. To them, it felt like a toxic force.

After driving away these vengeful spirits, Ji Chen waved his hand, leading the troops deeper into the water.

As they moved through the sea filled with numerous floating and sinking bodies, when they descended to a depth of several hundred meters underwater, a brilliant blue light suddenly emerged in the dark and murky depths.

A colossal “pillar,” which required the embrace of a dozen men and was thicker than the ancient trees in the Hidden Vale Village, was thrust diagonally into the seabed.

Its material composition couldn’t be discerned from the surface, but it was engraved with sacred and vast runic patterns. Soft blue radiance continuously emanated from it, casting the surroundings into a world of deep blue.

With a single glance, it seemed as though one could see an immense expanse that filled the entire world, with surging waves at sea and tens of thousands of towering waves crashing toward them.

Ji Chen instinctively held his breath. From the moment he first saw it, he couldn’t take his eyes off it. He could distinctly feel a power emanating from it, as though controlling it would mean controlling the entire ocean.

Was this… a divine weapon?

How f*cking long was this thing?

The front end was deeply embedded in the rocks, and only a structure resembling the tip of a trident could be vaguely seen. As for the handle at the rear, it extended all the way to the water’s surface, not to mention the parts that couldn’t be seen for now. This divine weapon was unexpectedly hundreds of meters long!

With such a massive weapon, was this divine being some kind of titan giant?

As Ji Chen gazed at this behemoth, he couldn’t help but fall into silence. How could he even pick up this weapon?

Just as he remained silent, the map of the entire area suddenly displayed a multitude of bright red points, rapidly approaching their location.

Ji Chen’s eyes narrowed.

“Everyone, prepare for battle!”

He just issued the command when thousands of aquatic monsters with webbed feet, gills on their cheeks, and fin-like structures on their limbs, clearly a subspecies capable of living in water, swarmed toward them, contrasting with the ones on land.

Aquatic Deviant Ghost, 5th tier, 1 star.

The Aquatic Deviant Ghost coming from the other side all avoided the divine weapon as if they were deeply afraid of it.

Ji Chen keenly noticed this and immediately gave the order.

“Form up a battle formation with the divine weapon at our backs!”
