Chapter 498 An Old Acquaintance

At this moment, Bai Ye felt a touch of curiosity.

Was this fellow before him truly a sea beast?

This fellow possessed terrifying strength, but its speed wasn't particularly outstanding. Upon entering the domain, due to fighting within the lost ruins, land had appeared, and then…

The sea beast’s charge speed had actually increased.

A sea beast moving faster on land?

This was somewhat peculiar, but Bai Ye was merely curious and didn't pay it much mind.

It couldn't be faster than him anyway!

The instant the sea beast lunged at him, Bai Ye’s figure flickered, transforming into a bolt of lightning and vanishing without a trace.

Rumble!

The sea beast collided with the arena wall behind it, directly collapsing a section of the towering wall.

A majestic sculpture lost its support and toppled backward.

The sea beast shook its body and then turned around again.

However, the moment it turned…

*Puff!*

A golden slash met it head-on once more, striking the sea beast’s chest and directly cleaving it open.

Under the domain, the sea beast’s physical attributes were weakened by 15%, while Bai Ye’s were enhanced by 30%. Of course, looking at the opponent’s physique, even with this advantage, Bai Ye’s body couldn't compare to such a colossal creature.

However, Bai Ye’s physical attributes were stronger, making his slashes even more potent. Furthermore, the domain could further boost the attack of Nu Hai Lin Wei by 30%.

This resulted in a terrifying degree of amplification.

But was it over?

Not yet!

“Magic Enchantment!”

Reinforcement Target 3: Reinforce weapons or armor, imbuing them with magical properties.

Was it over?

Still not!

Bai Ye directly consumed two Divine Stone Shards, and then his entire body suddenly erupted with golden radiance.

Reinforcement Target 6: Elemental reinforcement for oneself; any items or abilities related to elements will have their effects amplified by 15%.

Beneath Bai Ye’s feet, the magical array patterns of the magic chant spread out. Because Divine Stone Shards were used for double reinforcement, the magical array patterns that spread out this time were two circles, one gold and one blue, intertwined.

In the next instant, Bai Ye raised his golden halberd again and slashed forward!

Roar!

The sea beast roared and lowered its body forward.

This fellow resembled an enraged bull, and its current attack method was undoubtedly that of an enraged bull, intending to use its hardened horns to block Bai Ye’s attack.

Thump, thump, thump…

The sea beast began to run rapidly, and then…

*Puff!*

The golden slash landed on the sea beast’s head, emitting a dull thud.

At that moment, the entire world seemed to fall silent, time stood still, and space solidified.

Then…

Suddenly, a terrifying wound appeared on the sea beast’s body, a large amount of blood splattered out, emitting a hissing sound.

In an instant, the entire domain was covered in a vast expanse of scarlet blood rain.

“Current number of sea beasts killed: 9/10”

Bai Ye let out a long sigh of relief, finally killing it. Bai Ye now believed this fellow could go toe-to-toe with a mecha.

This colossal creature was indeed quite strong.

Bai Ye’s ability to defeat it involved some coincidental factors.

Because, at this moment, they were at sea.

Nu Hai Lin Wei was truly useless on land, not even reaching the standard of gold quality.

However, at sea, Nu Hai Lin Wei was definitely in the top tier of gold-quality equipment, infinitely close to super quality.

Secondly, Bai Ye also possessed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which, although not yet super quality, was infinitely close to it.

Although the Rumble-Rumble Fruit hadn’t shown much in terms of offense this time, its teleportation ability was crucial.

Given the sea beast’s terrifying power, if Bai Ye were hit by its energy cannon or even a single collision, he would undoubtedly be blown into nothingness or have all his bones shattered into dust.

Then…

The opponent had fought a mecha and was still injured.

These three factors were indispensable; otherwise, Bai Ye felt he might not have been able to win.

Waving his hand, he dispelled the domain and returned to the sea.

In the next instant, Bai Ye was truly startled.

Another one?

Before Bai Ye appeared another colossal entity, but this time it wasn't a sea beast, but a massive silver mecha, nearly two hundred meters tall, even larger than the sea beast.

Bai Ye was vigilant, immediately holding his golden halberd in front of him.

However, at this moment, the mecha suddenly moved, but it didn't seem to intend to attack Bai Ye. Instead, it projected light from its eyes, forming a light screen.

A blond man appeared in the center of the light screen.

“I have no ill intentions,” the blond man said quickly, “Chosen one?”

Bai Ye looked at the other party, a hint of surprise surfacing in his heart.

First, since the other party was asking if he was a chosen one, it meant he was one too.

Second, this was a familiar face.

Jeram Zak Vidox.

Bai Ye not only recognized him but was also very familiar with him.

This fellow had fought for him, achieved merits, and done odd jobs for him in his previous life.

Jeram the Steel Warrior was also a renowned top expert in Bai Ye’s previous life, primarily focusing on mechanical and technological paths on the world battlefield.

This fellow was once a hegemonic figure in the Eastern District, with his main combat power being a mechanical armor called the Silver Cyclone, hence Jeram earned the title of Steel Warrior.

Later, when Bai Lu established a presence in the Eastern District, Jeram was defeated by Bai Lu.

The consequences of defeat were either death, expulsion from the Eastern District, or pledging allegiance to Bai Lu, or seeking refuge with Bai Ye.

Death, it wasn't to that extent. Jeram was strong; although he couldn't defeat Bai Lu, it wasn't easy for Bai Lu to kill Jeram. As for being expelled from the Eastern District, Jeram was unwilling, especially since his main combat power at the time was mechanical and technological.

Leaving the Eastern District would significantly impact Jeram’s strength improvement.

Therefore, only the last two options remained: bowing to the Eastern District’s dual Bai’s.

And Jeram’s last bit of pride led him to choose Bai Ye. Jeram couldn't accept surrendering to the person who defeated him after his defeat.

After that, Jeram began to follow Bai Ye.

In the struggle for the Eastern District, Bai Ye and Bai Lu clashed countless times, and Jeram always appeared incredibly fierce, wanting to avenge his defeat.

Later came the Central Region War, and Jeram also participated in the battle with Bai Ye. Subsequently, Bai Ye pushed deep into the Central Region and entered the Tower of Gods. As for whether Jeram died in battle, Bai Ye wasn't entirely sure.

At this moment, Jeram on the light screen spoke again, “My name is Jeram Zak Vidox, and I am also a chosen one. Was that abomination killed by you?”

“Abomination?” Bai Ye pointed to the sea beast’s corpse behind him, “That thing?”
