“I was blinded by greed back then, seeking greater power, nurturing forbidden desires, so 1 ended up enduring the curse for thousands of years…

Although you possess the power of the ocean, I advise you not to have any thoughts about that artifact; it could bring disaster upon you.”

The giant turtle spoke with a solemn tone, laden with warnings.

Ji Chen nodded and decided to change the subject, saying, “Let me help you remove the curse now.”

The giant turtle nodded in anticipation.

Ji Chen raised his hand, and the azure light in his palm flew into the giant turtle’s body.

The power of the ocean entered the turtle’s body, following its veins and blood vessels, quickly reaching the deep-seated curse. It was like a warrior engaging in a fierce battle with the deeply rooted curse. The clash was as explosive as throwing sodium into the water, causing a violent reaction between the two.

Despite the intense reaction, which caused even the millennia-old giant turtle, who had endured immense pain, to tremble uncontrollably, the curse was gradually being eliminated.

Several hours later, Ji Chen, with a tired expression, withdrew his hand and said, “It should be completely removed.”

Even without Ji Chen’s words, the giant turtle could feel it. Its body, previously shrouded in darkness, was now bursting with vitality. Its life force surged like a flood, effortlessly lifting a mountain off its shoulders.

The giant turtle roared in excitement, its distinctive, melodious cry echoing throughout the entire sea clan, dispersing the clouds in the sky.

After a long time, the giant turtle finally calmed its turbulent emotions and looked at Ji Chen. It spoke slowly, “Human, you have helped me lift the curse. As agreed, 1 will serve you for a hundred years.”

As if recalling something, it continued, “Victor built his palace on my back, and it seems he left a spell tower core and a treasury on it. Those things should be useful to you.”

Hearing this, Ji Chen became interested. Without further ado, he was transported to the giant turtle’s back, which was dozens of meters high.

When the giant turtle shook Victor off its back earlier, the camp and the giant tower on top of it collapsed, leaving behind a mess.

Ji Chen went directly to the collapsed giant tower, and with careful searching, he quickly discovered a head-sized, glowing blue orb buried under the ruins.

Covered with runic patterns, it looked extraordinary.

[Spell Tower Core]

[Tier]: Legendary (1-7 stars, then Legendary Artifact)

[Effects]: Functions as the core for constructing a spell tower.

[Attack Range]: 0-50 kilometers

[After constructing the spell tower, it can operate autonomously or be manned by hero units.]

[When manned by a hero unit, it greatly enhances their spellcasting abilities, including but not limited to significantly increasing spell damage, reducing mana consumption, greatly reducing spell cooldowns, and expanding the range of spell attacks.]

A Legendary-grade treasure!

Ji Chen’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, followed by excitement.

There was such a treasure?

It was fortunate that Lord of the Waves hadn’t completed the construction of this tower. Otherwise, winning this war would have come at a tremendous cost, and victory might not have been certain.

Victor’s split-second decision swiftly tilted the balance of this war, leading to a complete rout.

This seemed to serve as a reminder to him – never underestimate any enemy. When confronting adversaries, give it your all. The highest form of respect for an enemy was to eliminate them completely.

Among the ruins of the giant tower, he also found Lord of the Waves’ treasury, which contained five hundred units of spirit crystals, likely brought out of the Death Sea by Lord of the Waves.

Aside from the spirit crystals, he discovered a map depicting the entrance to the Death Sea.

Thinking about the Death Sea, Ji Chen’s interest was piqued.

The Death Sea wasn’t as lifeless as outsiders believed. This vast and mysterious sea, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, contained far more than one might imagine.

This place, he would explore sooner or later.

Folding the map, Anina suddenly approached, her face filled with excitement, and said, “My Lord, I’ve found some intact recruitment camps for units!”

Ji Chen blinked and immediately said, “Lead me to them.”

Ji Chen followed Anina to a spot near the ruins, where five recruitment camps, resembling coffins, stood amidst the collapsed buildings.

[Sea Crystal Wyrm Recruitment Camp]

[Tier]: Tier 6, 3 stars

[Recruitable Unit]: Sea Crystal Wyrm (Tier 6, 3 stars)

[Weekly Recruitment Limit]: 10

[Current Available Recruits]: 10

[Recruitment Cost]: 20 units of spirit crystals

It was actually a Sea Crystal Wyrm recruitment camp!?

Ji Chen was stunned; this was a genuine Tier 6 unit!

The power of the Sea Crystal Wyrm was unquestionable. Besides its rare ability to fly, it possessed formidable physical and magical damage.

A squadron of Sea Crystal Wyrms, consisting of a thousand individuals, could easily slaughter several times their number of Tier 5 units without sustaining any damage.

Ji Chen happily accepted these five recruitment camps, then patted Anina’s head with a smile, saying, “Well done.”

Anina giggled happily and suddenly spoke a bit hesitantly, “My Lord, I’d like to ask you a favor.”

Ji Chen smiled and spoke in a gentle tone, “Of course, what is it?”
