Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 651 - 327: Undying Conviction, Reaching the Pinnacle (Part 3)

"What was that?!"

Zhao Chenlin, Fang Yu, and the others' expressions shifted drastically upon hearing Chongyuan's statement.

"Wh-what have you done?"

With eyes wide and bloodshot, Zhao Chenlin pointed a trembling finger at Chongyuan, his voice laced with disbelief and accusation.

Witnessing Zhao Chenlin's distress only fueled Chongyuan's smugness, his excitement reaching a fever pitch.

Oh, the unparalleled joy of watching an enemy's convictions crumble and their spirit shatter into a million pieces!

Zhao Chenlin, as the stalwart captain of the law enforcement team, had navigated countless tempests without ever faltering.

He was a beacon of rationality, justice, and unwavering resilience.

A man as unyielding as tempered steel.

Yet, this bastion of fortitude now sported bloodshot eyes and a voice that quivered, a clear testament to his shaken spirit.

His composure had fractured, his mind teetering on the brink of collapse.

This sight filled Chongyuan with immense satisfaction, bordering on complacency. "Let me tell you, the messages you received from the Ocean Court were fabricated from the very beginning! The Ocean Court you so deeply trust was actually..."

"Chongyuan!"

The booming voice of Sovereign Lanyun cut through the air like a thunderclap, drowning out Chongyuan's words and sending a jolt of icy fear through him.

He suddenly snapped back to the harsh reality, the chilling realization dawning that he had let slip far too much, spoken far too carelessly.

The inner workings of the Ocean Court were shrouded in secrecy, its intricate connections reaching the highest echelons of power.

Any leak of such information could implicate even Sovereign Lanyun himself.

A cold dread washed over Chongyuan, quickly followed by a fierce glint in his eyes. He addressed the surrounding soldiers in a low, resolute tone: "Enough of this idle chatter. It's time to act. Kill Fang Yu and the rest of them."

"Only the dead can truly be silenced and kept safe!"

As Chongyuan's command echoed, the Lanyun Army surrounding them surged forward with a deafening roar.

Their formidable Power Levels erupted, descending upon Fang Yu and his companions like an inescapable tempest.

Overwhelming forces converged, poised to crush them like Mount Tai.

"Watch out!"

"Stay alert!"

The onlookers cried out in alarm, and several Judges unleashed their powers, attempting to intercept the onslaught from the Lanyun Army.

However, the defenders were vastly outnumbered, a mere ten individuals against an army of a thousand, placing them at a significant disadvantage.

Furthermore, Zhao Chenlin and the other Ocean Court masters, their minds reeling and faith wavering from Chongyuan's revelations, found their combat effectiveness severely diminished.

Their vitality plummeted, their powers reduced to a mere 40 to 50 percent of their usual strength.

Facing the Lanyun Army's ferocious assault, they would have been annihilated on the spot if not for a Secret Treasure deployed mid-battle, which absorbed the brunt of the attack.

Even so, the impact of the Lanyun Army's offensive sent everyone reeling backward, their formation shattered and their ranks in disarray.

"Damn it, what do we do now?!"

Fang Yu felt an immense pressure bearing down on him, the dire situation of being surrounded by enemies weighing heavily on his heart as he desperately sought a solution to escape their predicament.

A nagging suspicion began to form in his mind: could there truly be a rot within the Ocean Court? Was Zhao Chenlin being framed, leading to this disastrous turn of events?

If this were the extent of the problem, it might have been manageable.

But unfortunately, the Law Enforcers of the Ocean Court drew a significant portion of their might from their unwavering faith.

As long as their belief remained unshaken, these Law Enforcers could invoke the glory of the era to sustain their resistance.

However, if their faith faltered, the Ocean Court's glorious era would no longer lend them its power, reducing them from unparalleled warriors to mere ordinary cultivators.

Fang Yu sighed inwardly, the current scene presenting a near-insurmountable deadlock.

How could they possibly break free?

Just as despair threatened to overwhelm him, a faint voice suddenly reached Fang Yu's ear:

"In a moment, we will unleash our full might to propel you and Kong Huaao out of this sealed void."

"I recall your mastery of Space Law."

"Once the seal is broken, immediately employ your Space Law abilities to escape this place and return to the Duorong Federation!"

Fang Yu was taken aback, his gaze immediately snapping towards Zhao Chenlin, who stood beside him.

The faint voice that had just whispered in his ear belonged undeniably to Zhao Chenlin.

As Fang Yu looked at him, he was struck by a sudden, profound change.

The Zhao Chenlin who had moments before been on the verge of mental collapse, his faith shattered and his eyes clouded with confusion, now exuded an air of renewed pride and confidence.

The unyielding faith in the Ocean Court, the inner resolve to defend order and justice with his very life, had returned to Zhao Chenlin and the others in full force.

Once again, Zhao Chenlin and his comrades radiated a brilliant aura, the unmistakable aura of a Law Enforcer now flowing freely around them.

"In this life, I will dedicate myself to defending the order and justice I believe in," Zhao Chenlin declared.

"The faith I hold in my heart is more precious than my own life; how could it be so easily broken?"

Zhao Chenlin's bearing grew more resolute, streams of era-defining glory emanating from the boundless void and flowing into his very being.

At this instant, Zhao Chenlin transcended his individual form, appearing as an embodiment, a manifestation of will, a confluence of all that glory.

He stood as the collective, unwavering conviction of the majority of Law Enforcers within the Ocean Court!

"So what if there are imperfections within the Ocean Court?" he proclaimed.

"I remain steadfast in my belief that countless colleagues share my convictions and aspirations!"

"When issues arise, we address them. If internal strife could shatter my faith, then such a faith would be nothing but a fragile facade!"

Zhao Chenlin's voice resonated with power.

"Boom!"

As Zhao Chenlin and the others' faith solidified, a spectral court materialized from the heavens, appearing directly behind Zhao Chenlin.

The other Judges exchanged glances, a subtle smile of relief gracing their faces.

Then, in a breathtaking display, the bodies of all the Judges transformed into streams of light, merging into Zhao Chenlin's own form.

Their auras completely dissipated, their lives willingly offered to empower Zhao Chenlin.

In this moment, Zhao Chenlin's aura surged with unparalleled might, the spectral court behind him radiating an power on par with the luminous halo behind Sovereign Lanyun, now standing in opposition.

Witnessing this, Sovereign Lanyun's expression contorted in shock.

For, at this critical juncture, he could distinctly sense a pinnacle-level power emanating from Zhao Chenlin!

In the blink of an eye, he had ascended multiple major Levels, from Dragon Ship Level to the absolute Pinnacle?!

Even if this heightened state was temporary, Zhao Chenlin had undeniably...

...reached the very zenith!
