The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful Chapter 784 – Mid-Tier Forty-Eighth Authorities (2)

Chapter 784: Mid-Tier Forty-Eighth Authorities (2)

Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

For living beings, having contact with the power of decay could lead to a swift deterioration, robbing them of decades of life within mere seconds, or even consuming millennia of life in an instant, an immensely dreadful prospect.

Those swiftly decaying corpses served as the most poignant illustration.

In terms of hierarchical strength, the power of the ocean also fell within the category of mid-tier authorities. However, its wielded power wasn’t as specialized and focused as the authorities, resembling more of a comprehensive force. It encompassed control over water, tides, tsunamis, and various other aspects within the domain of the ocean’s powers.

If encountering an authority specializing in a particular domain, then it’s highly probable that the power of the ocean would struggle to seize the initiative.

In summary, the strength of the ocean’s power ranked somewhere in the middle among authorities, varying depending on the opponents faced, and didn’t differ significantly from the Corrosion Authority.

Regarding which one was superior and which one was inferior, there still wasn’t a definitive answer.

It turned out that the Undead Lord’s confidence stemmed from this, as his power above the epic tier, combined with the augmentation from the Corrosion Authority, left him with few rivals in this world where the deities had yet to appear.

Unless facing another entity also above the epic tier, wielding an authority as formidable as the Corrosion Authority, only then would they be deemed worthy opponents.

With his thoughts sorted, Ji Chen’s expression grew even calmer.

The Undead Lord, however, was perplexed. Why was this human able to remain so composed upon witnessing its formidable Corrosion Authority? Shouldn’t he be alarmed, even terrified, upon realizing that it possessed such immense power?

After all, he was an above epic tier, holding the upper hand in raw power.

From this calm and composed countenance, it perceived not fear, but rather contempt, even disdain.

Gradually, its expression darkened, as countless millennia of relentless, echoing words reverberated in its mind, fueling a frenzy of negative emotions, causing the flames in its eyes to flicker violently.

Countless Maldonis had not only brought enlightenment but also ensnared their souls in a state of perpetual accumulation, entanglement, and fusion.

It felt like being forcibly bound together with all Twin Trees, merging into a single entity, yet still holding onto feelings of resentment and intolerance towards each other.

It could no longer distinguish whether all its past thoughts belonged to itself or to the other Maldonis.

The burden on its soul had become unbearable, its visage contorted in utter agony, as the Undead Lord squeezed out a sentence from between clenched teeth.

“Human, you shall perish!”

A vast expanse of tangible gray energy emanated from it, spreading in all directions from its center. Everything it touched swiftly decayed, even two nearby Shura Skeletons disregarded the attacks from Herald and the others, fleeing in panic to a safe distance.

They knew all too well that their Lord wouldn’t differentiate between friend and foe when unleashing its might.

Everything within its range, living or dead, except for itself, would turn into a land more desolate than after a demon’s rampage. Even the most resilient Abyssal Crawler couldn’t survive within it.

As the billowing mist, suffused with a strong aura of decay, rushed forth, Ji Chen swung the Demon Slayer. A burst of deep blue oceanic power surged forth like a shield connecting heaven and earth, resisting the encroachment of decay.

“It’s futile; the Corrosion Authority is even stronger than you imagine,” the Undead Lord gloated, as with a wave of its hand, another large swath of mist surged forth, seemingly suppressing the oceanic power.

A circle of blue ripples, like singularities bursting, suddenly expanded, and the power of the domain joined the standoff between the azure light and the mist as a weight.

With the help of the blue ripples, the decaying mist slowly receded.

The Undead Lord first showed a slight astonishment, then burst into rage.

“You have a domain!?”

Having seen all enemies who encountered Ji Chen’s ocean domain perish, the appearance of this domain in the battle shocked the Undead Lord.

In battles, revealing one’s trump cards was inevitable.

When the two sides were relatively evenly matched, and Ji Chen and the Undead Lord were in the process of showing their strengths, the first one to reveal their ultimate move would end up losing.

And neither side could bear the consequences of failure.

This fight demanded putting forth maximum effort to come out on top in the end.

The Undead Lord decided to personally take action. Although the domain suppressed him to some extent, as a transcendent being above the epic tier, this suppression and influence were not significant.

Between each punch and kick, rich decay energy was carried, as if at his fingertips. This adept use indicated that the Undead Lord had mastered the Corrosion Authority to a considerable extent, integrating it seamlessly into combat.

While Ji Chen’s control of time was relatively short, his profession and mastery of oceanic power were highly compatible. With the support of the legendary weapon, the Demon Slayer, each strike carried not only the power of the ocean but also the weight of thousands of tons. It barely managed to block a punch capable of pulverizing mountains.

The Demon Slayer carried numerous attack effects, with its inherent weight ignoring defense, compensating for the tier difference between Ji Chen and the Undead Lord.

Sometimes, it summoned divine thunderstorms, sweeping waves, and condensed water weapons, causing quite a bit of trouble for the Undead Lord.

In terms of sheer brute force, Ji Chen was definitely no match for the Undead Lord. However, in terms of flashy skills, variety, and coordination, Ji Chen had the upper hand!

The Undead Lord swung his massive fists wildly, but each punch was just barely blocked by the trident. Despite having a slight advantage, it was difficult to translate it into enough achievements under the constant barrage of techniques.

This was one of the most troublesome opponents it had encountered in tens of thousands of years, with oceanic power not inferior to the power of decay, and the trident, a divine weapon, possessing recovery capabilities that were not weaker and perhaps even stronger than its own…

Many unforeseen factors contributed to the current stalemate.

He found it difficult to seize victory in a short time!

The Undead Lord hammered down the Demon Slayer with his fist once again, then chose to quickly retreat hundreds of meters instead of pressing forward, observing the situation of his demonic skeletons.

At some point, out of the twelve demonic skeletons, only eight remained. Several were lying in pieces on the island, their damaged bones indicating that they had exhausted all means but still couldn’t avoid the outcome of death.

Observing this, Ji Chen also withdrew the Demon Slayer. After a quick evaluation of the situation, he noticed Isaiah employing his immense strength to face off against four legendary-tier demonic skeletons directly. He had already defeated two of them, leaving the remaining pair teetering on the brink of collapse.

Before long, Isaiah would be able to defeat them and join the battle between Ji Chen and the Undead Lord.

Samuel and Serena had also taken down one each and were entangled with one each, while Herald and Bcnbo were also engaged in fierce combat, faintly gaining the upper hand, at least ensuring that these two were restrained.

The Kraken, with its astonishing recovery ability, no longer sought swift kills but instead entangled three demonic skeletons firmly.

Outside the battlefield between Ji Chen and the Undead Lord, the balance was slowly shifting.

Now, all they needed to do was to continue delaying until their allies were free to join, and victory would inevitably be on their side.

With this thought in mind, Ji Chen calmed his thoughts, firmly controlling the trembling hand clutching the Demon Slayer, even as blood trickled from his torn palm. He summoned all his strength and launched a proactive assault on the Undead Lord.

The Undead Lord was both surprised and furious, hastily defending himself but feeling increasingly anxious.

He was well aware that if things continued like this, their side would be the one worn down.

Even he would feel distressed at the simultaneous loss of twelve legendary-tier Shura skeletons.

There was only one option left.

The Undead Lord’s eyes turned fierce, and after forcefully pushing back Ji Chen, he retreated to a kilometer away, initiating soul communication…

A pillar of black mist condensed and soared into the sky, piercing through the clouds and heading straight for a certain location.

Boom—

In this world, the hearts of all living beings were heavily struck. An extreme aura of evil emanated from the endless void, pressing down on the entire sea area like the nine layers of hell.

Within the pierced void of the dark clouds, a vague, pitch-black silhouette slowly descended.

However, upon contact with the ground, a colorful barrier suddenly appeared. Despite this, the dark figure, in a bewildering manner, transformed into wisps of black mist, passing through the barrier, before condensing once more.

The moment it took shape again.

The world lost its color, plunging into endless darkness.

Everyone present struggled to breathe, their powers raging out of control.

Their vision completely occupied by the indiscernible figure of darkness, they heard the screams of countless eerie and evil creatures in agony and struggle. A chilling wind of evil swept from the indescribable depths of the world, freezing both body and soul.

As Ji Chen witnessed the freezing that caused such dramatic changes in the world without any words or actions, his pupils contracted to their utmost.

A thought emerged in his mind.

Is this…. a god of darkness?
