"Warning: Unresolved ultra-high energy life signal detected. Unable to scan life signals. Target identified as an extremely high threat."

Chen Yuan suddenly looked up at the direction from which the oppressive aura was coming from; that was the entrance to the core mother nest area.

Two figures were seen hovering there silently.

On the left is a tall figure wearing a deep blue bio-armor that resembles the skin of an emperor octopus. Illusory tentacles move naturally around his body, and his eyes are calm yet contain pressure as deep as an abyss.

This person is Cangming, the supreme ruler of the Coastal Alliance, the First Speaker, and known as the Lord of the Abyss.

The person on the right, however, is completely out of place with the style of this deep-sea painting. He is wearing a spotless white mandarin jacket, gold-rimmed glasses, and has a refined appearance, with even a faint smile on his lips.

A distinguished guest from the Gray family, a mid-stage fifth-tier powerhouse, Gray Dragon.

Their gazes instantly crossed the battlefield and locked onto Chen Yuan.

Even with the protective armor, their fifth-tier powerhouse perception still allowed them to vaguely discern the outline of that excessively young figure.

Chapter 198 The Power of Cangming

For the first time, a clear look of surprise appeared on Cangming's usually calm face. Although it was only fleeting, it was enough to show the shock he felt.

"So young, yet possessing such power and skill, who exactly are you, and from which faction do you come?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority; perhaps this was what was meant by "authority without anger."

Greylong pushed up his glasses, his curiosity deepening. He muttered to himself, as if speaking to Cangming, "Interesting, truly interesting. The Grey family's intelligence network covers almost all known powerful figures and forces, whether they have been subdued or eliminated, all are recorded. Yet this young man's appearance and his mecha technology are completely absent from the files. This energy operation method and this material technology are very valuable for research."

Their arrival brought the intense battle to an instant halt.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xue Wei escaped Chen Yuan's attack range and retreated to Cang Ming's side. With lingering fear and resentment, she pointed at Chen Yuan and said, "The Speaker is the madman who killed Ao Sha."

Purgatory also rushed out from the bombed area. His ghostly Leviathan was covered in wounds, his bio-armor was severely damaged, his aura was chaotic, and his gaze towards Chen Yuan was full of deep-seated killing intent.

Chen Yuan slowly turned around and faced Cangming and Grelong.

Facing the gazes of two fifth-tier powerhouses, he felt an unprecedented pressure, especially the refined-looking man in the white jacket, who gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake.

But Chen Yuan felt no fear; on the contrary, his fighting spirit was high. Don't forget, his combat strength was also at the fifth level, and at the peak of the fifth level.

The eye sensors of the six Sea Emperor mechs glowed bright red. At that moment, Chen Yuan's voice came through the loudspeaker: "Who am I? I am Chen Yuan, the Lord of Lighthouse City. I have come here only to avenge the blood debt owed to the forces that dared to attack my Lighthouse!"

Upon hearing this, Cangming's eyes turned completely cold: "Lighthouse? That garbage prison, so it was you. No wonder Hailong and his men failed to take over the Lighthouse. But since you've come to us willingly, then leave your technology and secrets behind!"

Greylong stood calmly to the side without saying a word. After all, this was the Coastal Alliance's home ground, and he couldn't overstep his bounds.

Chen Yuan knew that the real battle was only just beginning.

He fell silent, unlocking all the weapons on his battle suit. Facing two fifth-tier powerhouses, one of whom was at the late stage of the fifth tier, this would be Chen Yuan's most difficult battle to date.

"Mr. Long, you can just watch the show, I'll handle it."

Cangming's voice was calm, but his tone carried an unquestionable decisiveness.

He could tell that Chen Yuan still had energy left when he faced the two speakers, and that his true strength was probably not much different from his own under normal circumstances.

For the sake of the alliance's dignity, and to completely eliminate this enormous threat, he held nothing back.

Grellon readily took a few steps back, gesturing for him to proceed, but his gaze behind his glasses seemed to be recording everything that followed like the most sophisticated instrument.

Purgatory and Blood Rose were injured, so they withdrew from the battlefield.

At this moment, Cangming made his move.

He simply raised his hands slowly, but this simple action caused the surrounding seawater to tremble.

"In the name of the abyss, I summon the power of the sea god to descend upon me!"

Cangming's deep voice sounded like an ancient incantation. In an instant, the life essence within his body boiled as if burning, and his aura surged wildly at a terrifying speed, breaking through the barrier from the late stage of the fifth rank to the peak of the fifth rank.

And this is just the beginning.

What's terrifying is that the sea they were in seemed to come alive, with endless seawater energy frantically converging towards him. Cangming's body seemed to have become a bottomless black hole, frantically devouring the power of the ocean.

His aura surged again, forcefully breaking through that seemingly insurmountable barrier, temporarily reaching a terrifying height—the early stage of the sixth rank.

Although this was only a temporary boost achieved by taking advantage of the environment, Cangming did indeed possess sixth-order power at this moment.

Cangming was surrounded by a tangible blue energy tide, his eyes turned pure azure, and the seawater within his sight seemed to submit to him.

"Everyone, stand back!"

Cangming's commands are like laws and decrees.

The surviving council members, sea monsters, the speaker, and Greylong quickly moved away from the core battlefield.

Under Chen Yuan's command, the six Poseidon mechs decisively withdrew and turned to clear out the surrounding miscellaneous soldiers, because their presence would only be crushed by strength in the aftermath of a battle of this level.

Chen Yuan's expression turned serious, and he wondered if he should just run away; he had been careless this time.

On the faceplate, the Dragon Core alarm had turned into the highest frequency red flashing.

"Warning: Target energy level has exceeded the critical threshold. Threat level: highest. It is recommended to disengage from combat."

leave?

impossible.

Now that things have come to this, the die is cast, and he's not without his trump cards.

"Forty times the physical attributes, a 1200% increase in strength, plus..."

Chen Yuan pushed the Loongson 9 suit to its limits, and the dark blue energy beam was brighter than ever before, as if the suit itself was buzzing with excitement.

"You ants, feel the wrath of the ocean!"

Cangming struck first, without even using any fancy techniques, simply throwing a punch from a distance.

This punch stirred up tens of thousands of tons of seawater!

It was as if the weight of the entire ocean was concentrated in this one fist, a huge fist made of high-pressure seawater, like a high-speed mountain range, crushing towards Chen Yuan.

……

Coastal Alliance, First Speaker Cangming!

Known as the Lord of the Abyss, he is the current supreme ruler of the Coastal Alliance.

This person is profound, calm, and dignified, yet possesses extraordinary foresight and courage.

He is usually taciturn, but every word he says represents the ultimate will of the alliance.

Cangming, a middle-aged man, has a few strands of dark blue hair mixed in with his black hair, resembling the glowing blue of a deep-sea creature.

Its face was resolute, its eyes were deep, and its skin had faint bioluminescent patterns that resembled underwater topographic maps.

Bio-armor, named Abyss Royal Authority.

The armor is dark blue, almost black, and made of a material similar to the skin of an emperor octopus, which is moist and absorbs light.

The shoulder armor and back have several active biomechanical appendages similar to octopus tentacles, which can move freely and release high-energy bioelectric shocks and spray highly corrosive ink at their ends.

The helmet is shaped like the crown of an ancient emperor, and the eyepieces are two narrow beams of cold, dark blue light.

Awakening abilities, three types:

1. Mind control: He can establish a deep connection with the mother nest and control the flow of bioenergy throughout the underwater environment within a certain range.

It can instantly strengthen or weaken the defenses of any area within the city, mobilize tamed sea beasts, and sense the exact location of intruders.

2. Mental Realm: Can release powerful mental pressure, like the gaze of a deep-sea behemoth.

It can cause low-level Devouring Beasts to fall into fear and become paralyzed, cause enemies with weak wills to have their minds broken, and can even interfere with the action commands of high-level Devouring Beasts for a short time.

3. Heart of the Tides, also known as environmental manipulation: It controls large-scale fluid dynamics, creating powerful underwater currents and whirlpools, and even small-scale underwater earthquakes.

In the marine environment, the ocean can unleash tremendous natural forces to crush its enemies.

……

"We can't take it head-on..."

Chen Yuan's pupils contracted sharply, and the six mechanical wings on his back unleashed their maximum thrust, working in conjunction with the thrusters on his feet and back to narrowly dodge to the side.

At the same time, the freezing ray from the left palm was fired at full power, freezing part of the water flow and slowing down the attack.

Chapter 199 The more they fought, the more frustrated they became.

"Crack!"

The freezing rays did freeze a small area, but it was like a drop in the ocean compared to the massive fist of seawater.

The edge of the punch grazed the mecha, causing the electromagnetic mirror shield to flicker violently and vibrate under the strain. Chen Yuan was thrown back by the force of the impact.

"I wonder how many punches you can withstand?"

Cangming's voice was cold. He clenched his fists, and the seawater around Chen Yuan instantly turned into invisible shackles, squeezing in from all directions.

This is the ultimate manifestation of the Heart of the Tide's power: manipulating seawater to imprison enemies.

"Gravity field, full activation!"

Chen Yuan roared, and the electromagnetic gravitational magnetic field burst out in the opposite direction at maximum power to counteract the pressure of the seawater.

"boom!"

Two invisible, immense forces clashed fiercely in the deep sea, producing a deep, thunderous roar.

Pulse particle cannon, maximum power!

With difficulty, Chen Yuan raised his right arm, and an unprecedentedly dazzling light gathered at the cannon muzzle in his palm. A pulse torrent with a diameter far exceeding that of the past tore through the heavy water pressure and shot towards the vast ocean.

"Not bad, you do have some skills."

With a casual wave of his hand, Cangming caused the seawater in front of him to instantly condense and compress, forming an incredibly thick, absolute water shield.

The pulse energy bombarded the water shield, bursting out with a dazzling light like the sun, but it only evaporated most of the water shield and failed to penetrate it.

"Water is a sharp blade."

With a light tap of his finger, Cangming unleashed dozens of highly compressed water blades, each with edges as sharp as a knife, shooting towards Chen Yuan from all angles like a sudden storm.

These water blades are far faster and more powerful than any physical weapon.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, maximizing his mobility and performing all sorts of incredible evasive maneuvers in the air. His nano-laser sword blades danced so tightly that they shattered the water blades that came close to him.
