Bai Ye glanced at the light screen. The proficiency of the Goro Goro no Mi had increased again, and the price was...
Bai Ye looked at the two corpses behind him.
Bai Lu and another Divine Disciple's bodies were now completely charred black, bloody and mangled, unrecognizable.
Bai Ye glanced at the sky again. Feathers of light were still falling, and he couldn't help but smile and say, "Aren't you coming?"
Unfortunately, whether the Apostle couldn't understand human words or the Fifteenth Apostle had no intention of confronting Bai Ye, despite the falling feathers, the Fifteenth Apostle did not appear.
As for the Fifteenth Apostle's abilities, they were useless to Bai Ye.
Although a large number of the Chosen were driven mad by the Fifteenth Apostle's mental attacks, causing mental pollution, Bai Ye was unaffected.
Clearly, the Fifteenth Apostle's mental attacks were ineffective against Bai Ye.
Bai Ye was quite proud of this point, as his mental attribute had always been his strong suit, thus his ability to resist mental pollution was very strong.
Since the Fifteenth Apostle did not show up, Bai Ye naturally did not delay and continued to venture deeper into the森海 (Senkai - Forest Sea).
Moving forward, corpses were everywhere.
Bai Ye was somewhat late, having spent a considerable amount of time in the Divine Seat's area. Now, a large number of the Chosen had entered the森海, extending the battlefield into its midsection.
However, advancing further would not be so easy.
Beyond the midsection, one would not only face the battles between the Chosen but also the lurking monsters within the森海, which posed a significant threat.
But these were not things Bai Ye cared about.
What Bai Ye wanted to know was where Lilith was.
If Lilith's goal was to destroy everything, then humanity needed to be destroyed, and the world battlefield needed to be destroyed. Therefore...
The Divine Tower must be destroyed!
Destroying the Divine Tower would destroy the world battlefield!
This was also the reason Lilith had come directly to the central area and instigated a major conflict.
This path home seemed to have become more difficult, as it was not enough to just enter the Divine Tower; Lilith also needed to be dealt with.
If Lilith was not stopped, and the Divine Tower was destroyed, the last glimmer of hope would be extinguished.
Bai Ye thought as he twitched his nose and then stopped.
Ahead of Bai Ye lay a vast expanse of corpses. This was no longer unusual for Bai Ye; corpses were everywhere in the森海 now.
What Bai Ye was concerned about was a large snake directly in front.
The snake was at least a hundred meters long, with a body about three meters wide.
A strange beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas—the Ba She (Giant Snake).
However, the Ba She was already dead.
Beside the Ba She leaned a man wearing a black robe, with a bone staff on his right and a skull emitting green smoke on his left.
As Bai Ye approached, the man slowly opened his eyes, removed his hood, and then, supporting the corpse of the Ba She, slowly rose.
The man looked at Bai Ye and said, "Anyone who can reach this point alone must be quite skilled."
Bai Ye smiled and said, "Are you saying you are quite skilled? Huang Quan!"
West District, Nine Nether Underworld King, Huang Quan!
In Bai Ye's previous life, this was a very famous name!
"You know me?" Huang Quan smiled. "It seems you're a Chosen who frequents the supernatural regions?"
Bai Ye chuckled, "No, I just know of you."
"Is that so? It doesn't matter, this is not important anyway," Huang Quan said. "What's important is that I'm only 127 Divine Stone fragments away from entering the Divine Tower. With your strength, you should have quite a few."
Bai Ye looked at Huang Quan. "That being said, the Divine Stones you can synthesize from your Divine Stone fragments already exceed seven. Defeating you should also yield a significant amount."
Bai Ye glanced at his own Divine Stone fragments. Comparing himself to others, in terms of the number of Divine Stones, Bai Ye felt he was at the bottom.
However, Bai Ye felt it wasn't a big problem. Didn't the central area's war also mean a chance to acquire a large number of Divine Stone fragments?
For instance, defeating Huang Quan, unless he was incredibly unlucky and got none, he would at least get a decent amount, given the high ceiling of Divine Stone fragments Huang Quan possessed.
Huang Quan smiled, not particularly bothered by their banter, and said, "It seems we've reached a consensus. Both of us have something the other desires. Let's begin then!"
Bai Ye extended his hand, "Please!"
Although Bai Ye made a gesture as if inviting Huang Quan to attack first, his actions were far from gentlemanly.
Combat was never an act of politeness.
The gentleman's code did not apply to the world battlefield!
The moment Bai Ye made the gesture, he transformed into an electrical current and charged towards Huang Quan.
However, Huang Quan was no ordinary person and was prepared. As Bai Ye charged, a large amount of green mist appeared in the eyes of the skull in his hand.
Bai Ye charged into it without hesitation. In his previous life, Bai Ye had fought Huang Quan twice, and neither battle was decided. However, if escaping was counted as a loss, then it was one win and one loss.
Based on his past life's experience, Huang Quan's two greatest strengths were poison and corpse manipulation!
Bai Ye's mechanical army was immune to poison, so Bai Ye managed to repel Huang Quan once. The time he lost was when he didn't have enough machines to form his mechanical army, forcing Bai Ye to escape using his spiritual body.
In this life, judging by Huang Quan's appearance, he was following his old path.
Therefore, Huang Quan's poison was clearly useless.
Because Bai Ye was not afraid of poison!
At the same time, Bai Ye was not relying solely on his mechanical army this life!
In the blink of an eye, as he rushed into the poisonous mist, Bai Ye saw a humanoid silhouette and, without hesitation, condensed his Raija Nōju (Lightning Fang Furious Beast) and slashed downwards.
After one sword strike, the opponent's body was directly split in two!
But...
