He only nodded slightly.
“I have personally slain the Undead Lord, so I have defeated two of the Five Demon Lords.”
Samuel’s expression changed slightly. If killing the Dreadlord earlier could be attributed to some luck, then killing the Undead Lord was undoubtedly a display of strength.
With epic-tier power, he consecutively defeated two beings above the epic tier and even one of them who controlled an authority.
What was even more frightening was that he even used the Thunder Authority to defeat a clone of the Decay God, marking an extraordinary feat!
That was a god, even just defeating one clone was considered something unbelievable!
Ji Chen was such a terrifying existence…
On the side, Serena was experiencing strange emotions.
If one could reconcile with such a mighty and unparalleled existence like Ji Chen, it would certainly produce offspring with boundless potential!
Sensing Serena’s strange gaze, Ji Chen coughed lightly and said, “The Undead Lord is dead, and its control over the Corrosion Authority has also been lost. The Corrosion Authority ranks thirtieth among authorities. Although it’s only a fragmented version, it still possesses formidable power.
However, I already possess multiple authorities, and they are incompatible with it, so…” Ji Chen paused, looking towards the Kraken, “I have decided to bestow it upon the Kraken.”
“Squeak? Squeak! (Thank you for your grace, my lord! I will definitely obey all your commands in the future!)”
The Kraken excitedly cried out.
He had just witnessed the power of the Corrosion Authority. It was a power that all creatures dreamt of, even more terrifying than a plague!
Other heroes were momentarily stunned, but then they understood and had no objections.
Although the Kraken was a bit silly, it was an epic-tier sea monster, ranking at the top of the ocean’s hierarchy. It had also made significant contributions along the way, making it eligible to receive such power.
Ji Chen’s choice to bestow it upon the Kraken was also well thought out. Legendary-tier heroes eligible to inherit authorities, Herald and Benbo, were both melee fighters, with one excelling in close combat and the other in breath attacks, neither of which aligned with the effects of the Corrosion Authority.
The Kraken, on the other hand, had excellent bloodlines and powerful physical attack capabilities but was lacking in ranged damage, especially against flying enemies.
The Corrosion Authority attacked in the form of mist, which could compensate for the Kraken’s shortcomings, making it the perfect match.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the Corrosion Authority flew over and instantly merged into the body of the Kraken.
“Step back a bit, lest you accidentally get hurt when it controls the Corrosion Authority,” Ji Chen instructed, and the heroes nodded, retreating a considerable distance.
As soon as the Corrosion Authority entered its body, the Kraken began to struggle, its thick tentacles wildly slamming against the sea surface as if it could alleviate its pain.
In just a dozen seconds or so, its skin, covered in slippery mucus, seemed to age a hundredfold, becoming uneven and filled with ugly wrinkles. But then, in the next dozen seconds, it returned to its original state.
This cycle continued without interruption, consistently swinging back and forth between rejuvenation and aging.
Watching the Kraken continuously groaning in pain, Ji Chen felt puzzled. Was it so painful to control an authority?
He remembered receiving the Thunder Authority and the Storm Authority successively, but it only took him more than ten minutes to successfully control them, and the process was neither painful nor difficult, more like a smooth transition.
Isaiah watched the Kraken thrashing on the sea surface, still wearing his proud and disdainful expression, but there was a hint of envy deep in his eyes.
That was an authority!
Even if it was only a fragmented version, it was still an authority, the most top-notch power in the world, the power wielded by deities.
This silly octopus actually received such a blessing. It was truly fortunate!
It turned its eyes to Ji Chen, who was focused on the octopus.
This human was willing to bestow an authority like this to a subordinate, indicating that he was not a selfish person. Now that he had also gained control of multiple powerful authorities, his future achievements would certainly be considerable. Perhaps he could even ascend to godhood in hundreds or thousands of years.
If he were to help out a bit now, maybe in the future, when Ji Chen becomes a god, Ji Chen might help him reach a higher height.
Isaiah’s brain quickly spun, considering the details and benefits therein.
The process of controlling the Corrosion Authority continued for several hours until sunset. Only then did the Kraken stop its painful struggles. Its murky copper bell-like eyes gradually cleared, and its pupils turned gray as if smeared with dye.
Its body didn’t change much, but its entire being emitted an unprecedentedly powerful aura, spreading out like a newborn sun, exuding a vast tidal force.
It gave them the illusion that the Kraken had once again ascended.
“Squeak squeak—!! (My lord, I have successfully controlled the Corrosion Authority, and I also feel that I’m not far from becoming an above epic tier!)”
Ji Chen smiled faintly. Controlling an authority to a certain extent could help elevate one’s tier. But for the Kraken, already at the epic tier, the chance to reach the tier above epic through this opportunity was also significant.
Otherwise, according to the normal rate of advancement, it would take at least hundreds or even thousands of years to have even a slight chance.
Above the epic tier lied the pinnacle imagined by countless beings.
And he, who had newly gained control of the Thunder Authority and the Storm Authority, naturally benefited greatly from it.

[Level]: 69 [Level Cap: 89]
[Identity]: Lord of the Ocean
[Main Profession]: Ocean Dominator (Current Tier: Above Epic)

[Lord Talent]: Favor of the Sea IV (Red Talent,… with a relatively broad concept; current explicit effects are: ® Easier access to gifts from the sea, <2> When troops are near the sea, their stamina and recovery speed increase by 80%, @ Ability to move freely and swiftly in water, reducing oxygen consumption by 99% and water pressure by 95%), @ Blessed by the sea, immune to any fatal, cursed, tracking effects, and skills within the marine environment, with a chance of resurrection (only once)

<2> Lord of Storms (You have complete control over the Storm Authority, able to summon world-ending storms within the ocean’s range, causing ubiquitous attacks on enemies; wind and rain are extensions of your arms, you are the storm)
With only one step difference between reaching level 69 and level 70, his tier transitioned from epic to above epic.
The Lord’s Talent upgraded once again, gaining a new ability.
The Ocean Domain evolved.
Two special abilities appeared on the panel, representing the effects of the Thunder Authority and Storm Authority.
Each one was a significant boost, with the power above epic implying that he had truly reached the pinnacle of this world, becoming a presence of top-tier power.
How many entities exist above the epic tier in the main world?
It was unknown. They were extremely rare, with only the Elven Empire known for sure to possess beings above epic tier. The Markus Empire of humans might also have such powerful individuals, but there was no other relevant information available.
In this regard, the Crown of the Ocean, with its cutting-edge power, stood on equal footing with formidable forces like the Elven Empire.
Ji Chen, full of vigor, looked around at the numerous heroes, waved his hand grandly, and laughed.
“Let’s bring back news of slaying the Undead Demon King. This should severely strike the remaining three demon kings.”
“Next, we will turn defense into offense and actively attack the remaining three demon kings!”
“Yes!”
