“Is the Sea God Palace really that amazing?” Lynn Luyao asked eagerly.
Wei Chen smiled wryly and replied, “I don’t know either. I’m just feeling my way through this, taking it one step at a time.”
“But I’ve heard that the Sea God Palace is very dangerous. The Sea Emperor of the South Sea Region has been advising you not to take any risks,” Lynn Luyao said with concern.
Wei Chen responded, “It’s nothing. Fortune favors the bold. If there’s no danger, then there won’t be any rewards. Opportunities and risks coexist; whether you can seize them depends on yourself.”
In truth, Wei Chen had no confidence at all. He was relying solely on his passion, acting on impulse.
He had no idea how powerful the Sea God within the Sea God Palace was, and neither did Sea Emperor Nanfeng, but it was certain that he was hundreds of times stronger than Wei Chen.
“For you, it’s the same. Your Sea Tribe bloodline can bring you many benefits; whether you can grasp them also depends on you,” Wei Chen said, looking at Lynn Luyao calmly.
Lynn Luyao sighed, “I still wish I didn’t have this Sea Tribe identity…”
“Let’s wait and see. I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to help you.”
…
Four days later, Sea Emperor Nanfeng ordered the Warship to stop; they had arrived at the location of the Sea God Palace.
“This is it. Seven miles down, about three thousand meters below, is where the Sea God Palace is located. Wei Chen, I still advise you not to take unnecessary risks; it’s not worth it,” Sea Emperor Nanfeng said, intending to give one last piece of advice. He knew it probably wouldn’t make a difference, but he wanted to try anyway.
As expected, Wei Chen didn’t listen to him at all.
“Sea Emperor, you all stay here and wait; I’ll go down by myself.”
"Demon Lotus Emperor, you're here waiting too. Take good care of Lynn Luyao; I'll be back soon."
Wei Chen briefed the Demon Lotus Emperor and, without hesitation, leaped from the Warship, plunging into the sea.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng, along with the Demon Lotus Emperor and Lynn Luyao, watched as Wei Chen dove into the Endless Sea, their emotions a mix of concern and admiration. Given Wei Chen's status, there was no need for him to take such risks. Within the Black Magic Clan, he was second only to the leader, and his Mental Strength was powerful enough to defeat many opponents. Even in the entire demon realm, his strength was considered top-tier.
Why did he have to push himself so hard?
Going to the Sea God Palace was truly a matter of life and death!
The Demon Lotus Emperor, who trusted Wei Chen the most, found himself at a loss in such situations and could only wish Wei Chen good luck.
As Wei Chen gradually descended into the Endless Sea, the pressure of the water began to make itself felt. Initially, in the shallow waters, he hardly noticed it, but as he reached around two thousand meters deep, the immense pressure made him uncomfortable all over.
This was the difference between humans and the Sea Tribe. For the Sea Tribe, even at the ocean floor, they hardly felt any water pressure due to their innate abilities that allowed them to resist it without issue.
Wei Chen lacked such resistance. After descending two thousand meters, he started to feel fatigued, and his descent slowed considerably.
"Paralyze... indeed, every race has its own characteristics. How do those Sea Tribe members survive in this environment? Those with stronger abilities might manage, but ordinary Sea Tribe members would probably be crushed into paste under this pressure."
"The capabilities of the Sea Tribe allow them to thrive in the Endless Sea; each race has its unique advantages. Such benefits are something we humans simply cannot possess."
Wei Chen summoned all his magical power to struggle against the water pressure.
He gradually realized that diving into the sea for the Sea God Palace might have been reckless. If resisting this water pressure was so difficult, what kind of situation awaited him at the Sea God Palace?
But since he had come this far, he couldn't just turn back without seeing anything. There were so many people waiting above; Wei Chen couldn't afford to lose face.
Gathering his strength, Wei Chen continued to dive deeper until he reached the depths of over three thousand meters beneath the sea, where the Sea Emperor Nanfeng resided.
Before him appeared a palace glowing with a white light.
Surrounding the palace was a protective barrier; outside it was seawater, but inside, there was air. It seemed that the Sea God did not enjoy living in water and preferred to breathe air like ordinary humans.
Wei Chen held his breath, broke through the barrier, and entered the Sea God Palace.
Inside the Sea God Palace, the air was surprisingly fresh. Logically, in an underwater palace, the air should not be so fresh, but as soon as Wei Chen stepped into the realm of the Sea God Palace, he felt a refreshing aura that invigorated his entire being.
The Sea God Palace was desolate and empty. Looking around, there wasn't a single shadow in sight, let alone any Servants. According to the Sea Emperor Nanfeng's claims, there were numerous Sea Tribe members serving as the Sea God's Servants within the palace, yet what Wei Chen saw was an entirely different scene.
"Is that Sea Emperor's Fellow trying to fool me? Where are all the Sea Tribe Servants?"
Standing before the grand hall of the Sea God Palace, Wei Chen looked around for a while but saw nothing, causing him to doubt the words of Sea Emperor Nanfeng.
In fact, the information from Sea Emperor Nanfeng was quite outdated, at least several hundred years old. In recent centuries, the Sea God had not summoned any Servants at all; those previous Sea Tribe Servants had all disappeared long ago.
Wei Chen wandered outside the hall for a while. He extended his powerful Mental Strength to envelop the entire Sea God Palace and discovered a faint Vitality deep within.
That was the only sign of life within the entire Sea God Palace.
"Is that the Sea God?"
"It feels very weak."
"Could it be that this Sea God is dying? Has being imprisoned for too long caused their Divine Power to fade away?"
Wei Chen hesitated for a moment before stepping into the Sea God Palace.
As soon as he entered, he was greeted by countless formations, intricately layered and breathtakingly beautiful.
"That Vitality is right inside the formation, extremely weak, almost on the verge of disappearing?"
Wei Chen stood before the formation, relying on his powerful Mental Strength to carefully sense the situation within.
The Vitality inside was already very faint, like a candle flame about to be extinguished, easily snuffed out by a gentle breeze.
"The Sea Emperor is unreliable; his Sea God is supposed to be enjoying himself in the Sea God Palace with countless Servants, yet what I see is completely different."
"Perhaps that so-called Sea God is trapped inside the formation and can't get out?"
"The Sea Emperor is not trustworthy at all."
Wei Chen felt puzzled. Logically, Sea Emperor Nanfeng shouldn't deceive him about such matters.
But everything before him was vastly different from what Sea Emperor Nanfeng had described.
As Wei Chen pondered this, a thought suddenly entered his Sea of Consciousness.
"Child, who are you?"
The voice was incredibly ancient, like a thousand-year-old corpse suddenly rising from its coffin to speak.
Wei Chen was startled and quickly replied, "I am Wei Chen of the Demon Realm Black Demon Clan. Are you the Sea God?"
"Sort of. The Sea Tribe here was created by me back in the day."
Wei Chen followed the source of the voice, his powerful Mental Strength probing ahead, and he realized that the voice was coming from deep within the formation.
Sea God?
Wei Chen smiled broadly and transmitted, "Senior Sea God, are you trapped here? Would you like me to help you out?"
"You help me? Can you break these formations?"
"I have a glimmer of hope. Give me some time, and I might be able to do it."
Upon hearing this, a wave of energy surged from deep within the formation. A flash of white light appeared before Wei Chen, revealing an ethereal old man.
"Child, can you really break these formations? These formations were set up by a Secondary God," the Phantom elder asked Wei Chen calmly.
Wei Chen replied, "I can, but it will take time."
"How long?" the elder inquired.
Wei Chen thought for a moment, then held up two fingers and said, "Two years."
At this, the Phantom stirred, expanding into nothingness before quickly reassembling. The elder was clearly overwhelmed with excitement and asked urgently, "You can break the formations in two years?"
"It should be no problem."
Wei Chen calculated in his mind. Although those formations were advanced and unlike anything he had seen before, they were not without flaws. He could find some gaps in the formations and exploit them to dismantle each one systematically.
The strongest aspect of Wei Chen was not his Mental Strength, nor was it his Warrior Realm, but rather his Formation Assignment. The Demon Lotus Emperor chose him at the beginning precisely because of this Formation Assignment. Wei Chen's Formation Assignment was rare beyond compare; it was his greatest reliance. No matter how difficult the formation was, he could always find some clues.
"Good child, if you can break the formation in two years, I will give you my Heart of the God," the old man said excitedly.
"Senior Sea God, before I begin to break the formation, I have a few questions I would like to ask you," Wei Chen said respectfully, slightly bowing his Phantom.
"Go ahead," the old man nodded in agreement.
Wei Chen continued, "I learned of your existence from the Sea Emperor. I came down to see you and hoped to absorb some divine aura to help me break through the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Realm. The Sea Emperor mentioned that you could move freely within the Sea God Palace and enjoy everything, but what I see is completely different from what he described. Furthermore, with your immense power, coming to the Sea God Palace should be dangerous; you could easily kill me. But what I see is not like that at all. You are very benevolent and not the evil god described by the Sea Emperor. Your strength does not seem very formidable either. Under the constraints of the formation, you cannot kill anyone outside of it."
Upon hearing this, the Sea God sighed and said, "That was all in the past. When I was first imprisoned, I could move freely within the Endless Sea. Later on, my area of activity gradually shrank until I could only move within the Sea God Palace. Eventually, I could no longer leave the formation and could only barely survive inside it. The formation that confines me is a layered formation; it started with one layer and has evolved over time into two layers, four layers, eight layers, sixteen layers, thirty-two layers..."
"The formation keeps multiplying, and the pressure I endure grows heavier. My strength has diminished as a result. Now, I can barely survive within the formation. In a few hundred years, if the formation doubles again, I will be completely obliterated."
"I fully understand how formidable this formation is. If you can break such a powerful formation, then I will give you my Heart of the God as long as my soul is preserved and I can return to the Ancestral Realm."
After hearing the Sea God's words, Wei Chen immediately asked, "Senior Sea God, if you give me your Divine Heart, won't you lose your Divine Power?"
"It doesn't matter. As long as I return to my Ancestral Realm, I can slowly reassemble my Divine Heart. In my Ancestral Realm, I have absolute control and will never die. I may not be able to compare with that Secondary God who sealed me away, but at worst, I am still a First-Level Deity—much stronger than an ordinary Boundary God. Once back in my Ancestral Realm, I will be immortal. In my world, no god can defeat me."
