Having cleared the third and fourth levels without much effort, Ji Chen approached the fifth level with a bit more enthusiasm.

The fifth level still consisted of a hundred Ruins Guardians, with no change in numbers.

However, their Tier had now reached Third Tier, 9 stars, and their level was 19. Standing at a towering height of 4 meters, they resembled small mountains before him.

These Ruins Guardians advanced with heavy footsteps, rumbling towards him.

The spacious hall suddenly seemed to shrink in size.

But this level of intensity posed no challenge for him. After a fierce battle, all hundred Ruins Guardians were damaged and fell to the ground.

Level five cleared!

However, this time the system prompt had a slight difference.

“Ding- Illusory Realm Trial, Level Five cleared. Level Six is about to commence. You may now choose the new trial terrain: Desert, Swamp, Mountain, Ocean, Grassland.”

Terrain options?

There were five terrains to choose from, but at a glance, Ji Chen immediately ruled out the desert.

The reason was simple. His units were all amphibious marine creatures and the desert had no presence of water whatsoever. It would be a nightmare for them.

As for the mountain, grassland, and swamp terrains…

These three terrains might have lakes, rivers, or shallow water areas, but they were not the optimal choice.

The best option was naturally the ocean.

In the ocean, they could fully unleash their advantages, effectively doubling their combat power!

“Ding- You have chosen the Ocean terrain.”

As soon as the voice fell, the stone hall beneath their feet transformed into a small island, surrounded by an endless sea. The sky bore a radiant sun, with blue skies and serene floating clouds.

Seagulls soared in the sky, schools of fish swam in the water, and in the distance, whales spouted water columns—a scene brimming with vitality.

With a faint sniff, the salty scent of the sea breeze rushed into their nostrils.

Ji Chen’s eyes widened in astonishment, taking a moment to regain his composure.

If he hadn’t seen the previous starry hall, he would have thought they had truly been transported into the ocean, rather than a simulated scene.

There was no discernible difference between this scenery and the real ocean.

Was this the power of the divine realm?

Even though they had left that world and an unknown amount of time had passed, the lingering power remained as dazzling and breathtaking as ever.

Bringing his entire army into the sea, they floated on the surface, ready to commence the next trial.

“Ding- Illusory Realm Simulation, Level Six, initiated. Protect the Nexus from destruction for 30 minutes.”

Protect the Nexus?

Ji Chen was slightly surprised as he saw a crystal float appear not far away on the sea’s surface.

Presumably, that was the so-called Nexus.

A 30-minute countdown timer appeared in his peripheral vision.

Without hesitation, Ji Chen immediately led his troops to the crystal float and protected it steadfastly.

Once they moved away from the small island, it gradually disappeared from view, leaving only the vast expanse of the sea.

Ji Chen controlled the seawater to keep himself afloat, surveying the surroundings, but there were no enemies in sight.

He felt a sense of puzzlement.

Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly submerged himself in the water to inspect for underwater enemies.

Indeed, within the relatively dim underwater visibility, a large number of enemies appeared from all directions.

In the slightly murky seawater, their bodies emitted a dazzling blood-red aura, making them stand out.

However, these enemies were no longer the rock-like Ruins Guardians; instead, they resembled devilish fish with a three-meter-long body. Their elliptical blood-red aura connected their flat bodies to the large fins on both sides, creating a distinct science-fiction-like appearance.

With a two-meter-long spike at their tail, they exuded an extremely dangerous aura.

[Marine Alchemical Guardian, agile in action]

Hundreds of Ocean Guardians, numbering over two hundred, swarmed from all directions, intent on destroying the Nexus.

Unlike the Ruins Guardians, these Ocean Guardians had no apparent weaknesses. They moved swiftly, their large fins acting like two engines, propelling them forward in an instant.

With their fierce jaws, they latched onto the bone blades swung by the Naga warriors.

Crack! Even the blades, harder than metal, suddenly appeared with cracks.

The Ocean Guardians crazily tore at the bone blades, attempting to rip them off.

Despite the Naga warriors’ efforts, they couldn’t retrieve their trapped bone blades no matter how hard they pulled. Determined, they swung another blade, hoping to achieve some results.

However, the tail spike of the Ocean Guardians suddenly shot out, accurately hitting the returning blade.

If they were on land, there would likely have been a resounding clash of metal, but underwater, there was no sound—only the chaotic water flow resulting from the collision.

Although silent, it carried no shortage of danger.

The number of Ocean Guardians exceeded two hundred, more than double the Naga warriors. It was almost as if two of them were ganging up on a single Naga warrior.

Within moments, many Naga warriors were caught in the jaws of the Ocean Guardians, their bodies pierced with several large holes from the tail spikes, blood gushing out.

Back in the depths of the ocean.

The combat capabilities of the other two important units, the Dragonblood Murlocs and the Pure Water Sea Pixies, surged dramatically.

The Pure Water Sea Pixies, still submerged in the ocean, enjoyed an additional 35% increase in spell damage. Even though the enemies outclassed them by a staggering six tiers, this bonus greatly compensated for the disparity..
