Although he knew every sea beast would become stronger, Bai Ye could sense that the increase in this sea beast's strength was significantly larger than before.
The dangerous aura emanating from this creature was clearly far stronger than the eighth sea beast.
And…
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. This creature was injured.
The sea beast had a bulging shoulder shell on its right shoulder, but its left was missing, and blood was flowing from the wound.
Its paw was three-clawed, similar to a dinosaur's, but the left paw only had two claws remaining. There was also a large slashing wound around its waist, from which blood continued to pour.
This was clearly the result of a battle.
But it wasn't a mecha…
Were there other things in this damned place?
However, to say that it 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, breaking through the sea and charging.
Bai Ye wasted no time. Regardless, he would fight first. If he defeated this one, he would have killed nine sea beasts.
Lost in thought, Bai Ye unleashed his spiritual power.
The Sea Soul effect activated.
The surrounding seawater began to surge, and then streams of water erupted, charging forward.
After fighting these sea beasts for so long, Bai Ye had gained some experience.
These sea beasts had different forms and unique abilities; some could spit venom, others could unleash energy beams, and so on.
But a common characteristic was their reliance on powerful physical bodies to inflict damage.
In other words, regardless of their specific traits, these creatures were exceptionally fond of engaging in close-quarters combat.
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 became enraged or realized they couldn't get close would they resort to other methods.
Bang, bang, bang…
Continuous streams of water shot out from the sea, striking towards 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 forward with all its might.
With that punch, one water stream was instantly shattered. Then, the sea beast twisted its body and swung its arm again, destroying the second water stream.
It even performed a nimble maneuver, twisting its body, completing half a circle, and lashing out with its tail to shatter the third water stream.
A look of surprise flashed across Bai Ye's face. This creature's strength was formidable.
As he thought this, Bai Ye channeled his spiritual power once more.
The seawater around the sea beast churned again, forming water hammers that surged towards the creature, impeding its advance.
At the same time, Bai Ye raised his golden halberd again.
One halberd strike shattered the sea!
The sea in front of Bai Ye broke apart once more, surging towards the sea beast.
The sea beast suddenly bent down, using its massive horns to meet the strike!
Rumble!
A deafening sound echoed!
The sea beast's enormous body tilted backward, staggering from the immense force of the blow.
However, the creature's strength was unimaginably immense. After staggering, it managed to regain its footing.
But after stabilizing itself…
Crack!
A fissure appeared on the pair of massive horns on the sea beast's forehead, and then a piece broke off.
The fragment fell into the sea, creating a loud splash and disturbing a large area of water.
Roar!
Suffering another injury, the sea beast became enraged and roared at Bai Ye.
As it roared, a hurricane seemed to erupt around them, and waves of air surged forward ferociously.
The next moment, a green 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 sensing the fluctuations within the energy beam, one could feel the immense power it contained.
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 waves where Bai Ye had been standing, easily piercing through them.
Even the surrounding seawater was instantly vaporized by the incredibly high temperature of the energy beam, turning into wisps of white steam.
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. This creature was troublesome.
So…
Lost Ruins (Summon the lost ruined city from the sea as your domain to battle. Physical attributes increase by 20% except for Intelligence. If summoned at sea, physical attributes increase by an additional 10%. Sea Soul and Ocean Power effects increase 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 forcefully struck the sea surface in front of him.
Domain ability activated!
The next moment…
Vast expanses of green light rose up. The surrounding seawater began to ascend along with the green light, like enormous walls. Soon, the entire space was covered.
The seawater formed a square, independent space, locking Bai Ye and the sea beast within.
Inside the domain, the seawater began to recede, and then…
A magnificent ruin appeared.
Ancient structures were in disrepair, with numerous crumbled walls. They were covered in seaweed and coral. Some, having lost the water, lay on the ground, thrashing about.
Bai Ye and the sea beast were located in a massive circular structure. Five enormous statues stood around the perimeter, holding spears towards the sky, making the scene resemble an ancient arena.
Then…
Roar!
The sea beast let out a pained howl. Its massive body swayed, crashing into a building to its side, instantly pulverizing it.
The Lost Ruins domain took effect. The sea beast's physical attributes were weakened by 15%, and this reduction brought about a sensation of pain.
The sea beast continuously thrashed about, crashing into its surroundings, but Bai Ye had no intention of giving it a chance to recover. He raised his golden halberd once more.
Shatter the Sea!
Bai Ye unleashed another halberd strike.
This time, the sea beast could not block it. With a sound of tearing flesh and sinew, one of the sea beast's arms flew off.
Blood splattered onto the ground. The sea beast roared and retreated rapidly.
However, the ferocity ingrained in its bones allowed the sea beast to regain its stance, preparing to charge at Bai Ye again.
