“I do indeed know where to obtain high-level Dragon Whale bloodlines, but it’s not an ordinary place… Simply put, at least a century ago, 1 discovered that an epic-tier ancient Dragon Whale powerhouse had fallen into a semi-sealed mystic realm.

That mystic realm is now on the brink of destruction, filled with chaotic spatial storms, and riddled with void fissures. One wrong step, and you could be swept into the void turbulence.

The bloodline of an epic-tier ancient Dragon Whale can remain preserved for thousands, if not tens of thousands of years. If luck is on your side, there’s a good chance of obtaining an epic-tier Dragon Whale bloodline. However, that semi-sealed mystic realm is fraught with danger…”

Without hesitation, Ji Chen spoke up, “Sir Solidus, please tell me the location of this semi-sealed mystic realm.”

Solidus appeared somewhat surprised and his gaze softened as he looked at Ji Chen. This human didn’t seem as he had initially thought. He looked decent and was willing to take risks for this young junior.

Seeing this, he didn’t hesitate much and said, “It’s in a sea southwest from here… I can take you there, even accompany you in the search.”

Ji Chen responded, “That would be perfect, but I need to return to my territory to make some preparations.”

Solidus had no objections and nodded in agreement.

Both sides quickly reached an agreement, and Ji Chen gestured for him to board the Sea Crystal Wyrm. They swiftly returned to the Crown of the Ocean.

With a clear goal in mind, the return journey was much faster. After an uninterrupted night of flight, they successfully returned to the Crown of the Ocean on the following day at noon.

Wilus was surprised by Ji Chen’s swift return but immediately began preparations for the upcoming expedition upon hearing they would be setting out soon.

Solidus mentioned that the semi-sealed mystic realm was inhabited by many high-level indigenous creatures. Over the past century, he wasn’t sure how much had changed there. To be safe, Ji Chen pulled together a considerable force.

The North Sea Behemoth Kraken, the Deep Sea Naga Herald, the Blue Dragon Blood Murloc Benbo, the Deep Sea Dragon Whale Anina, the Dragon Horn Catfish Diago, along with the foreign reinforcement Solidus, amounted to six hero units in total. Among them, one was epic-tier, three were legendary-tier, and two were legacy-tier.

Additionally, several mainline legions were included in the expedition.

On the morning of the next day, after completing their preparations, under Ji Chen’s command, they marched in the direction indicated by Solidus.

This semi-sealed mystic realm was located in the southern part of the Western Mid-Ocean, approximately 1,500 kilometers southwest of the New Moon Islands. This vast sea area was marked as extremely dangerous on many merchants’ maps.

With descriptions from Solidus, a former tour guide who had traveled extensively across most of the Mid-Ocean, and insights from Kraken, a native of the region, Ji Chen gained a better understanding of this unfamiliar sea area in the southern Western Mid-Ocean.”

Compared to the relatively bustling central regions, the northern and southern sea areas were desolate. For miles around, not a single island inhabited by people could be found. However, this was only in relative terms to land-dwelling races like humans.

Because of the rare disturbances by other races, the southern sea area had given rise to a prosperous civilization of marine tribes. There were far more marine tribes here compared to the central and northern sea areas, turning it into a “paradise” for these tribes. Here, the most primitive and savage jungle laws were enacted, with the strong dominating the weak. Powerful marine tribes ruled over everything while the weaker ones struggled to survive.

“Lord, I’m not exaggerating. As soon as I return to the southern sea area, I guarantee that all the marine creatures there will bow down and pledge allegiance. When the time comes, with a command from me… Ahem, from us, thousands of marine creatures will serve us!”

Kraken waved its tentacles enthusiastically, its face filled with excitement.

As the initial instigator of the Sea Beast Tide, Kraken had originated from the southern sea area and was naturally familiar with it.

Ji Chen rolled his eyes. “Well, then I’ll have you lead the way later.”

Kraken chuckled a few times, imagining the scene where it returned and commanded obedience from countless marine creatures, showing off its might as the North Sea Behemoth!

However, when they entered the southern sea area, they discovered that it was entirely different from their expectations.

Not a single marine creature appeared here!

Whether in shallow waters or deep-sea trenches, it was as if they had vanished completely. Not only were there no marine creatures, but even fish were extremely rare.

Ji Chen looked at this lifeless ocean, furrowing his brow deeply. Even though Kraken had initiated the Sea Beast Tide a few months ago, it couldn’t possibly turn this place into such a desolation. The ocean was teeming with countless beings, and the Sea Beasts were just a small part of it.

Were Sea Beasts affected like this, or were other ordinary marine creatures similarly scarce?

“This is strange, very strange. I remember that when I came here before, it was still thriving.” Solidas, in his human form, crossed his arms and looked grave.

In the rippling seawater, he faintly sensed an ominous presence..
