Volume 4: Super-Tier Awakening & The Ancient Capital Calamity
Chapter 400
Grand Finale of Volume 4: The War God Sets Sail, Heading Toward the Vast Sea and the Forbidden Curse Era!
A brilliant dawn tore through the thick fog blanketing the East China Sea. The first rays of morning pierced the cloud layer, casting an iridescent gold glow over the mirror-like surface of the ocean before the brewing storm. At the most vital military port in Shenzhou, millions of tons of steel and crystallized magic energy coalesced into a breathtaking, soul-stirring spectacle: the most formidable magical expeditionary fleet in human history had fully assembled.
Hundreds of cruisers and armored dreadnoughts bristled with killing intent, arranged in immaculate lines stretching all the way to the horizon. On the decks, tens of thousands of elite battle mages clad in gleaming armor grasped magical armaments and wore lethal arcane gear, their gazes locked resolutely ahead. Massive battle banners emblazoned with golden dragons billowed violently in the gale, breeding an atmosphere of supreme solemnity and boiling morale.
“ROAR... RUMBLE...”
The deep, resonant blast of magical steam horns reverberated across the vast expanse, shaking both the heavens and the ocean floor. It was a symphony of supreme authority, fusing state-of-the-art magical engineering with divine might, declaring the fierce rise of human civilization in the face of annihilation.
At the prow of the flagship aircraft carrier named Mount Tai, cutting through the massive waves to charge into the open sea, stood a towering figure immovable as an unyielding peak.
Lin Feng wore the majestic, imposing military uniform of an Honorary Grand General. A black military cape embroidered with intricate dragon motifs whipped wildly in the salty ocean wind. Slung across his back was the Ancient Emperor Dark Gold Sword, radiating a terrifying pressure that warped the surrounding space in rhythmic undulations. His frame emanated the translucent luster of the Primordial Dragon Pendant, making him look like a descending deity inspecting the mortal realm.
Flanking him, his close comrades and beloved stood shoulder to shoulder.
Mu Ningxue wore exquisite crystalline ice mage robes, her peerless visage as cold and aloof as a ten-thousand-year glacier, gripping an ice sword radiating pure, untainted light. Tang Yue’s phoenix eyes were sharp, her overwhelming authority draped in robes as fiery red as an ascending inferno. Xie Zhaoyuan and top military powerhouses stood in a straight file behind them, their momentum soaring, blood burning with battle fever.
Down on the flight deck, various battle summoned beasts roared, stirring up towering waves. The Thunder Electric Holy Dragon leaped through the midair, thrashing amidst crackling violet-black lightning bolts. The Crimson Flame Fire Phoenix spread its wings across the sky, scattering warm embers to empower the entire army.
On the distant horizon, where the blue sea and grey clouds met, towering columns of water suddenly erupted. Deafening roars echoed from the fathomless oceanic depths, carrying the chilling breath and bottomless hatred of the Marine Empire. Millions of sea monsters, from colossal behemoths down to swarms of armored crustacean monstrosities, surged forward like a black tidal wave eager to devour the world.
This was the battle that would decide the fate of their species. There was no retreat. No room for hesitation.
Lin Feng slowly raised his right hand, his fingers tightening around the hilt of the Ancient Emperor Dark Gold Sword at his waist.
CLANG!
A piercing sword hum pierced the highest reaches of the nine heavens. Black-gold sword radiance erupted, transforming into a thousand-zhang beam of light piercing straight into the Azure skies, tearing apart the pitch-black thunderclouds conjured by the sea demons.
Lin Feng stepped forward, his eyes as sharp as blades sweeping across the churning ocean before unleashing a thunderous, bell-like roar that carried through every magical broadcast system straight into the ears of every soldier across hundreds of warships:
“Hear me, soldiers of Shenzhou! Proud sons and daughters of humanity!”
His voice carried the supreme dominion of a War God, echoing across heaven and earth, overriding even the howling gale and churning waves:
“For thousands of years, the ocean has always looked upon us as prey, as territory for them to trample underfoot. They thought humanity was nothing more than weak, fragile creatures cowering behind defensive walls! Today, here in the East China Sea, we no longer defend! We go on the expedition! We march into the open sea to establish an indisputable truth: Wherever the land belongs, the ocean shall bow before its master!”
“OOO-RAH!”
Millions of battle cries erupted in unison, drowning out the roaring waves. The collective momentum of the army condensed into an invisible yet razor-sharp martial will that stabbed straight into the gloomy firmament.
Lin Feng lowered his blade, pointing straight toward the East—the profound stronghold of the Sea Demon Empire—as a ruthless flash of absolute determination ignited in his eyes:
“All forces, hear my order! Raise sails, set out! Trample the sea demon dynasty, and forge an era of eternal glory for mankind!”
RUMBLE, RUMBLE, RUMBLE!
Hundreds of warships roared in unison, unleashing massive torrents of magical energy that propelled the fleet shooting forward like wind-cleaving arrows. The ocean surged violently, towering geysers erupting under the raw force of high-tier magic engines.
Lin Feng stood at the very prow, his cloak snapping violently in the ocean breeze. He knew that this East China Sea campaign was merely the beginning. Hidden behind the boundless oceans lay the terrifying secrets of ancient gods and untrodden forbidden domains. Yet within his chest, the heart of a powerhouse standing at the apex of the world beat stronger and fiercer than ever before.
The era of the Eight-Element Super-Tier and the Forbidden Curse Archmage had arrived. Heading toward the vast sea, the radiant dawn on the horizon awaited him and the Shenzhou army to pen the rest of this immortal epic!
