The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful - Chapter 812: Nora
The Ocean Crown, which was in a rapid development phase, had its master absent from the territory.
At that moment, Ji Chen found himself in a sea area within the Eastern Mid- Ocean, where a spiraling water curtain extended several miles upward into the sky.
Within the water curtain, the sea transformed into numerous exotic ocean creatures: deep-sea fish, fang-toothed whales, giant octopuses… They seemed to move around like real marine life, emitting a lively atmosphere.
Ji Chen looked at the ocean power glowing brightly in his hand. With a thought, he absorbed it into his body.
As the light gradually dimmed, these strange aquatic forms lost their spirituality and form, quickly dissolving back into the sea.
Inside his body, the three strands of ocean power found each other like missing pieces of a puzzle, merging perfectly together.
“The fusion of ocean power is complete, and the authority’s strength is restored.”
Feeling the new and familiar majestic power in his body, Ji Chen finally smiled.
He had gathered three strands of ocean power!
Several days ago, he followed the aura, traveling thousands of miles from the Western Mid-Ocean to the Eastern Pacific Ocean to find the lost third strand of ocean power.
Unlike the previous two strands of ocean power, the search and acquisition process for the third strand of ocean power had gone extremely smoothly. In a seabed cave, a group of evil sea beasts had guarded it, which Ji Chen had easily annihilated.
The fusion process had also been very smooth. When the three strands of ocean power merged into one, their power was displayed.
-Mid-tier authority, second place.
The complete ocean power, or ocean authority, had ranked third among the mid-tier forty-eight authorities, just below the first place of earth authority and sky authority.
This ranking was apparent on the surface. However, there had been no definitive conclusion regarding which authority—earth, sky, or ocean—was truly the most powerful among the three domains of land, sea, and sky.
Ultimately, the effectiveness of wielding authority depended on the abilities of the user. Weak wielders found themselves being led by the authority, thus struggling to fully harness its power, whereas powerful wielders could completely command the authority, utilizing it at will and unleashing its power to the fullest extent, sometimes even beyond its limits.
Furthermore, each of these three authorities possessed distinct strengths and specializations. Those who wielded earth authority wisely refrained from engaging in battles at sea against those with ocean authority, just as those who controlled sky authority avoided confrontations on land with wielders of earth authority.
But undoubtedly, ocean authority had been one of the most powerful authorities among the mid-tier authorities, especially in the ocean, where it had reigned supreme.
Even the higher-tier authorities needed to show some respect!
Having gathered the power of the ocean, Ji Chen also paved the way to ascendancy as an ocean deity. Moving forward, all he needed to do was diligently amass fervent followers, continuously build up the power of faith, and enhance his strength, and when the deity’s condensation was complete, the divine fire would eventually ignite fully, transforming him into a god.
But if he followed the normal process, it would take quite a long time, perhaps centuries or even millennia.
Becoming a deity was by no means a simple matter. Throughout history, how many strong individuals had reached the end of the world, mastered authority, but ultimately crossed the long road and ascended to become deities? Not many.
The deities at the top of the pyramid were still those familiar names, but beneath the pyramid, countless unnamed corpses had long been piled up.
But Ji Chen had enough confidence to become the one who reached the top of the pyramid. His confidence stemmed from the Military Talent Tree and Authority.
It was already incredibly rare for one person to possess three authorities.
After obtaining the final strand of ocean power, Ji Chen had no intention of delaying any further and was prepared to begin his journey back.
With a single thought, the once tranquil sea and sky surrounding him erupted into turmoil, unleashing a terrifying storm of wind and water.
Seeing this terrifying scene, the surrounding marine creatures panicked and fled, fearing being torn to pieces by the storm.
This was the power of the Storm Authority.
Capable of summoning storms at any time and place, not only could it harm enemies, but it could also conceal oneself within the storm, merging with it.
Satisfied, Ji Chen nodded, then continued on his way without further delay, with the storm following closely behind. He simultaneously increased his proficiency in using the Storm Authority while hurrying on the road.
The storm, regardless of its actual power, looked frightening enough, resembling a sandstorm on land, sweeping across the sea hundreds of meters high and extending for miles, with fierce winds roaring like the howls of demons.
The sky was dark and lightless, with only rolling winds and rain, accompanied by flickering thunder, like scenes from Doomsday.
All the ships encountered along the way, upon seeing what they thought was a naturally occurring storm, quickly veered off course and fled in panic, unaware that it was being controlled by a single human.
Feeling the surging power of authority within the storm, insights continued to emerge in Ji Chen’s mind, deepening his understanding of authority’s usage.
At that moment, he suddenly sensed a violent energy fluctuation coming from afar, causing Ji Chen to involuntarily shift his gaze.
His spiritual senses swiftly spread forward through the boundless sea, penetrating tens of miles ahead.
“Hmm? Is that… a military force chasing someone?”
Zooming in countless times, Ji Chen’s widened field of vision revealed a dark army emitting an extremely evil aura, surrounding and attacking a humanoid figure with transparent wings from all directions.
The figure appeared remarkable, emitting an otherworldly aura. Despite appearing to be of similar age to a human girl, its skin was adorned with intricate colored scales, which appeared not out of place but rather beautiful, akin to a painting.
