314: Whose era?

With a minor burst from Ye Gaoyuan, his aura suddenly surged! He actually suppressed Murong Hai in an instant!

Just as he said, he had only used fifty percent of his strength earlier!

Perhaps he had truly surpassed the Eighth-Rank Extreme Realm and reached the Half-Step Ninth Rank!

Even Murong Hai at his peak did not have an aura as strong as his opponent's, let alone now, being injured.

Crack!

Ye Gaoyuan's terrifying aura caused all the surrounding space to rapidly collapse!

Even Murong Hai himself fell into an unknown space!

Ye Gaoyuan clenched his hands, powerful energy leaked out, and then he fiercely punched!

At the same time, Murong Hai's pupils contracted. Before him, countless fist imprints rained down like drops, each carrying a murderous intent! They completely cut off his retreat!

"So strong!"

Murong Hai sighed in his heart. He didn't just sit there waiting to die. His entire being's energy directly ignited, and a brilliant white light suddenly erupted from the surrounding dark void!

The next second, a giant Space Cage instantly appeared in the field!

Whoosh!

The countless fist imprints were bound at this moment!

Even if Ye Gaoyuan's power shattered space, space was ubiquitous and a conceptual thing. As long as it existed, Murong Hai's energy would always remain!

While binding Ye Gaoyuan's energy, Murong Hai's face also turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, letting out a low roar!

Body Transforms into All Things!

His body shattered like a mirror, then transformed into spatial storms that swept in all directions!

In the field, streaks of fire exploded, like a grand fireworks display.

Ye Gaoyuan watched this scene and couldn't help but be surprised: "I didn't expect you could still exert such power. It seems the ability of The foremost person below the Ninth Rank truly isn't exaggerated."

"Oh, I misspoke, it's the 'former' foremost person."

He grinned. The next second, his entire body merged into space!

Immediately after, a crisp sword cry resounded through the sky!

A certain space directly exploded!

Immediately, a figure retreated in disarray; it was Murong Hai.

At this moment, his strength was less than forty percent of his peak!

He was simply no match for Ye Gaoyuan!

"Hehe... Ghehehe! The Ninth-Rank experts have all been held back. Now, I am the variable who will turn the tide of battle!"

Ye Gaoyuan's face was filled with joy. After his strength soared, he exuded an invincible aura!

In the past, he could only rely on strategy, but now that he possessed strength, strategy was no longer the only option!

In the face of absolute strength, any strategy is as fragile as a bubble!

At this moment, Murong Hai's voice rang out again: "You are indeed very strong. I have to say, you are the strongest person I have ever met in my life. Below the Ninth Rank, you have few rivals."

Ye Gaoyuan's lips curled up as he mockingly said, "Are you begging for mercy?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstand. You haven't won yet."

Murong Hai also revealed a mysterious smile.

Ye Gaoyuan frowned, then said indifferently, "Putting on an act!"

Murong Hai lay on the ground, exhaling softly, his eyes somewhat complex as he said, "I never thought that I, Murong Hai, would one day become a backdrop."

Heroes under heaven are as numerous as carp crossing the river!

Murong Hai had few rivals in his life, and his cultivation path was smooth sailing. His talent was monstrous, which allowed him to achieve his current accomplishments. However, he now suddenly had a very clear feeling: this was not his era.

Ye Gaoyuan slowly floated down before him, saying indifferently, "Are you surrendering?"

His tone was somewhat bored. He hadn't expected his opponent to be such a weakling. No, this meant he was too strong, so strong that he shattered his opponent's fighting spirit.

Murong Hai's momentum had already dissipated. He had been involved in the battle from the start, initially fighting Alesi and several Eighth-Rank Experts. Although some Eighth-Rank Experts died by his hand, his contribution, while seemingly present, actually played no significant role.

His battle record this time was even worse than a junior's.

Murong Hai's eyes moved slightly, then he slowly said, "Your opponent isn't me. I'm just buying some time."

"Oh?"

Ye Gaoyuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Besides the Ninth Rank, does your Dragon Nation have anyone stronger than you?"

Murong Hai's lips curved: "Plenty!"

Ye Gaoyuan laughed: "You're not talking about the Sea King, are you? Or your Dragon King? Actually, neither of them is my match."

Ye Gaoyuan had become the person closest to the Ninth Rank. Besides the Ninth Rank, he could declare himself 'invincible' to anyone else.

Murong Hai chuckled: "Of course not them. Haven't you felt it?"

"Hmm?"

Ye Gaoyuan had a bad premonition. Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and abruptly looked towards the distant sea.

"How is that possible?"

Just as his voice fell, a terrifying energy surged from the depths of the sea!

Immediately after... Boom!

That part of the sea directly boiled, exploding, and a hemispherical wave surged up, its momentum terrifying!

The entire sea felt this vibrating aura, and all creatures looked on in shock!

"This aura... is terrifying!"

"Has someone broken through?"

"Is this a breakthrough to the Ninth Rank?"

"Who is so formidable?"

...In the direction of the warship, Sea King and others watched this scene with complex expressions.

"Eighth-Rank Extreme Realm!"

Sea King sighed: "For such a prodigy to appear in the Dragon Nation, heaven must be protecting our country!"

From Azure King's mouth, he already knew of Fang Bai's deeds. He had to admit that he, Sea King, had fought battles his whole life and seen thousands of geniuses and prodigies. But for this Fang Bai, whom he had never met, he had to concede that neither he nor Murong Hai were as good as him.

At this moment, a slender figure stood upon the waves, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body!

That aura was no weaker than anyone else present!

Rumble!

Above the sea, the dark clouds grew thicker, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and thick thunder dragons occasionally fell, like the end of the world!

It could be said that the entire space was permeated with Fang Bai's aura!

Breakthrough!

"That's... Fang Bai!"

Qi Tian and the others also saw that figure at this moment, their gazes incredibly complex.

That was their peer!

While they were struggling in the Fifth and Sixth Ranks, he had already reached the forefront of the world. This sense of disparity was truly too demoralizing!

"Damn it! I'm not cultivating anymore! I'll just rely on Old Bai to protect me!"

Qi Tian said, giving up.

In front of a genius like Fang Bai, they felt truly powerless, losing even their motivation!

Cultivate? Cultivate what? What was the difference between them and trash?

Qi Tian still had a good mindset, but the other geniuses were already somewhat despairing at this moment.

In the future, on their cultivation path, Fang Bai would undoubtedly be a great mountain, crushing them and making them gasp for breath!

A 'god' has already been planted in their hearts. Those who break through this 'god' can advance by leaps and bounds and sing triumphantly. Conversely, they will suffer inner demons for life, and their martial path will be shrouded in dust!
