At this moment, Bai Ye felt a touch of curiosity.
Was this guy in front of him truly a sea beast?
His strength was terrifying, but his speed wasn't particularly outstanding. After entering the domain, thanks to the battle in the lost ruins, there was land, and then...
The sea beast's charge speed surprisingly increased.
A sea beast faster on land?
This was somewhat strange, 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 charged at him, Bai Ye's figure flickered, transforming into a bolt of lightning and vanishing without a trace.
BOOM!
The sea beast crashed into the arena wall behind it, directly collapsing a section of the towering structure.
A towering sculpture lost its support and toppled backward.
The sea beast staggered, then turned around again.
But the moment it turned...
*Puchi!*
A golden slash, as before, struck its chest head-on, cleaving it open.
Under the domain, the sea beast's physical attributes were weakened by 15%, while Bai Ye's were strengthened by 30%. Of course, considering the opponent's physique, even with this disparity, Bai Ye's body couldn't compare to such a colossal being.
However, with Bai Ye's enhanced physical attributes, his slashes became even more potent. Furthermore, the domain increased the attack power of "Nu Hai Lin Wei" by an additional 30%.
The amplification effect became truly terrifying.
But was it over?
Not yet!
"Magic Enhancement!"
Reinforcement Target 3: Enhance weapons or armor to imbue them with magical properties.
Was it over?
Still no!
Bai Ye directly consumed two God Stone Shards, and then his entire body suddenly erupted in golden radiance.
Reinforcement Target 6: Enhance oneself with elemental properties, increasing the effect of any items or abilities related to elements by 15%.
The magic circle runes of the Magic Enhancement spread out beneath Bai Ye's feet. As God Stone Shards were used for a dual reinforcement, two rings of runes, one gold and one blue, unfolded and intertwined.
The next instant, Bai Ye raised his golden halberd once more and slashed forward!
ROAR!
The sea beast roared and lowered its body forward.
This creature resembled an enraged bull, and its current attack method was undeniably 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 charge rapidly, and then...
*Puchi!*
The golden slash landed on the sea beast's head with a dull thud.
At that moment, the entire world seemed to fall silent, time froze, and space solidified.
And then...
Suddenly, a terrifying wound appeared on the sea beast's body, and a vast amount of blood splattered out with a hissing sound.
In an instant, the entire domain was cloaked in a heavy crimson blood rain.
"Current Sea Beast Kills: 9 / 10"
Bai Ye let out a long sigh. Finally, it was dead. Bai Ye now believed this creature could go head-to-head with a mech.
This colossal beast was truly formidable.
Bai Ye's ability to defeat it involved some fortuitous factors.
Because, it was currently at sea.
"Nu Hai Lin Wei" was truly useless on land, falling far short of gold-quality standards.
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, while not yet super-quality, was infinitely close.
Although the Rumble-Rumble Fruit didn't showcase much in terms of offense this time, its teleportation ability was crucial.
Given the sea beast's terrifying power, if Bai Ye were to be hit by its energy cannon or even a single charge, he would undoubtedly be reduced to dust or have his bones pulverized.
And then...
It had fought a mech and was injured.
These three factors were indispensable; otherwise, Bai Ye felt he might not have been able to win.
With a wave of his hand, he dispelled the domain and returned to the sea.
The next moment, Bai Ye was startled.
Another one?
A colossal being appeared before Bai Ye. However, this time it wasn't a sea beast, but a massive silver mech, approximately two hundred meters tall, even larger than the sea beast.
Bai Ye became vigilant, immediately holding his golden halberd in front of him.
Just then, the mech suddenly moved. It didn't seem to intend to attack Bai Ye, but instead projected light from its eyes, forming a screen.
A blond man appeared in the center of the light screen.
"I mean no harm," the blond man said quickly. "Are you a Chosen One?"
Bai Ye looked at him, a hint of surprise in his heart.
First, since the other party asked if he was a Chosen One, it meant he was one too.
Second, this was a familiar face.
Jérôme Zack Vidorax.
Bai Ye not only recognized him but was also very familiar with him.
This guy had fought for him, achieved accomplishments, and run errands in his previous life.
Jérôme the Iron Warrior was also a renowned top expert in Bai Ye's past life, primarily focusing on machinery and technology in the world battlefield.
He was once a hegemon-level figure in the Eastern Zone, with his primary combat power being a mecha called the Silver Whirlwind, thus earning him the moniker Iron Warrior.
Later, when Bai Lu established a presence in the Eastern Zone, Jérôme was defeated by her.
The consequences of defeat were either death, expulsion from the Eastern Zone, surrender to Bai Lu, or allegiance to Bai Ye.
Death wasn't entirely probable; Jérôme was strong. While he couldn't defeat Bai Lu, it wouldn't be easy for Bai Lu to kill him. As for leaving the Eastern Zone, Jérôme was unwilling, especially since his primary combat strength was rooted in machinery and technology.
Leaving the Eastern Zone would significantly impact Jérôme's strength progression.
Therefore, only the last two choices remained: bowing to the dual "Bais" of the Eastern Zone.
Jérôme's pride led him to choose Bai Ye; he couldn't accept surrendering to the one who defeated him.
Afterward, Jérôme stayed with Bai Ye.
During the struggle for the Eastern Zone, Bai Ye and Bai Lu clashed countless times, and Jérôme always fought with fierce determination, seeking revenge.
Later came the Central Region War, and Jérôme also participated in battles with Bai Ye. Subsequently, Bai Ye advanced deep into the Central Region and entered the God's Tower. As for whether Jérôme died in battle, Bai Ye wasn't entirely sure.
At this point, Jérôme on the screen spoke again, "My name is Jérôme Zack Vidorax, and I am also a Chosen One. Was that Abomination you killed?"
"Abomination?" Bai Ye pointed at the sea beast's corpse behind him. "That thing?"
