Chapter 1593: Revealing Trump Cards
The deep blue blur Orric had become was instantly swept away by an even greater surge of hydro elemental energy.
In the Astral Realm, even a single rank difference in life level meant a massive gap in strength.
That gap only grew wider above Rank Four.
Unless one had a world-class secret treasure as a trump card like Sein did, cross-rank combat was no easy feat.
Rank Six beings, the symbols of medium-sized planar worlds, were a whole tier above Rank Five creatures.
On top of that, Orven had inherited Aquaria’s royal treasure—the Ocean King's Crown.
The crown was far more than a tool to help the Ocean King receive planar power and ascend to Rank Six.
It could also amplify the Ocean King’s power across multiple aspects.
Passed down for generations, the crown was deeply attuned to the Ocean King’s bloodline.
In the hands of anyone else, its effects were less than a third of what it granted the rightful heir.
To the Ocean Kings, it was practically a treasure tailor-made for them.
When Orven struck Orric with a devastating blow using its power, even White Stella—who had remained calm until now—showed the first flicker of unease in her eyes.
