Although he knew every sea beast would grow stronger, Bai Ye could sense that the strength increase of this sea beast was significantly larger. The dangerous aura emanating from the creature before him was clearly far more potent than the eighth sea beast.
Moreover…
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. The creature before him was injured. The right shoulder of the sea beast had a raised shoulder shell, but the left side did not, and blood could be seen flowing from it. At the same time, the sea beast’s paws were three-clawed, similar to a dinosaur, but its left claw was now reduced to two, and there was a large slash mark around its waist, from which blood was also flowing.
This clearly indicated it had been in a battle.
But it wasn't a mecha…
Were there other things in this accursed place?
However, if he were to say the creature destroyed a mecha… Bai Ye felt it wasn't that strong, so was the mecha too weak? That couldn't be right.
Bai Ye was puzzled. The sea beast had already moved, charging out of the sea. Bai Ye didn't waste any words. Regardless of the situation, he would fight first. If he defeated this guy, he would have killed nine sea beasts.
Lost in thought, Bai Ye unleashed his mental power. The Sea Soul effect activated. The surrounding seawater began to surge, and then streams of water erupted, charging forward. Having fought these sea beasts many times, Bai Ye had gained some experience. These sea beasts had different forms and unique abilities, such as spitting venom or releasing energy beams.
But they all shared a common trait: using their powerful bodies to inflict damage. In other words, regardless of their specific abilities, these creatures were exceptionally fond of closing in on their targets to fight. This provided Bai Ye with numerous opportunities to attack. As long as he maintained distance, he could launch the first strike. Only when the sea beasts were provoked or found themselves unable to approach would they resort to other methods.
*Bang, bang, bang…*
Streams of water continuously shot out from the sea, attacking the sea beast. The sea beast let out a terrifying roar. Facing the incoming water streams, it showed no intention of retreating. It simply raised its arm and smashed it forward forcefully. With that punch, a water stream was instantly shattered. Then, the sea beast twisted its body and swung its arm again, shattering the second water stream.
It even performed a nimble maneuver, twisting its body and swinging its tail forward, shattering the third water stream. Bai Ye’s face showed a hint of surprise. This guy’s strength was terrifying.
As Bai Ye mused, he once again channeled his mental power. The seawater around the sea beast surged again, forming water hammers that surged towards the sea beast, obstructing its advance. Simultaneously, Bai Ye raised his golden halberd again.
Sea Break!
The sea surface in front of Bai Ye shattered once more, charging towards the sea beast. The sea beast suddenly bent over, using the massive horn on its head to meet the slash!
*Boom!*
A deafening roar erupted! The sea beast’s massive body lurched backward, pushed by the immense force of the slash, causing it to stagger. However, the sea beast’s strength was unimaginably great. After staggering, it managed to stabilize its body.
But after stabilizing itself…
*Crack!*
A crack appeared on the giant horns on the sea beast’s forehead, and a piece directly broke off. The broken piece fell into the sea, making a loud splash and sending out a large wave.
*Roar!*
With its body injured again, the sea beast became enraged and roared at Bai Ye. As it roared, the surroundings seemed to be swept by a hurricane, with layers of air currents surging forward wildly. In the next instant, a blue light appeared in the sea beast’s mouth. An energy beam, like burning flames, shot forward, directly at Bai Ye.
The power was terrifying! Even without hitting anything, just by feeling the fluctuations within the energy beam, one could sense the immense energy contained within. Being caught in it would likely result in instant annihilation.
But…
“Too slow!”
Bai Ye’s figure flickered, transforming into a bolt of lightning and descending. Then… *Boom!*
The energy beam struck the sea waves where Bai Ye had been standing, easily piercing through them. The energy even carried an unimaginable terrifying heat, and the surrounding scattered seawater was instantly vaporized, turning into wisps of white steam.
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. This guy was a bit troublesome.
So…
Lost Ruins (Summon the lost ancient city in the sea as your domain for combat. All physical attributes are increased by 20% except for intelligence. If summoned in the sea, physical attributes are further increased by 10%. Sea Soul and Ocean Power effects are increased by 30%, and all enemy targets within the domain have their physical attributes reduced by 15%. Duration: 30 minutes)
Bai Ye raised his golden halberd and smashed it forcefully onto the sea surface ahead. Domain ability activated!
In the next instant…
Vast expanses of blue light rose. The surrounding sea surface began to ascend along with the blue light, like immense walls. Soon, the surrounding space was completely covered. The seawater formed a square, independent space, locking Bai Ye and the sea beast within.
Within the domain, the seawater began to recede, and then… a magnificent ruin appeared. The ancient buildings were dilapidated, with many sections in ruins, covered in seaweed and coral. Some, having lost the seawater, lay on the ground, thrashing. Bai Ye and the sea beast were located in a vast circular structure, with five colossal statues standing around the perimeter, holding long spears towards the sky, making the area resemble an ancient arena.
Then…
*Roar!*
The sea beast let out a pained howl. Its massive body swayed, crashing into a nearby building, instantly shattering it. The Lost Ruins domain took effect, weakening the sea beast’s physical attributes by 15%. This weakening also brought a sense of pain. The sea beast continued to shake its body and smash its surroundings, but Bai Ye had no intention of giving it a chance to breathe. He raised his golden halberd again.
Sea Break!
Bai Ye struck out with his halberd once more. This time, the sea beast could not block it. With a sound of flesh tearing, one of the sea beast’s arms flew off. Blood splattered onto the ground, and the sea beast roared and retreated. However, its inherent ferocity made the sea beast stabilize itself again, preparing to charge at Bai Ye once more.
