The flash of light that moment was somewhat blinding, Seth even raised a hand to shield his eyes from the piercing radiance.
A moment later, the light gradually dissipated.
When Seth looked at Bai Ye again, Bai Ye was clad in a suit of purple-black ancient armor. The most striking feature was the two extremely long plumes on the helmet, which hung down to his waist.
Then, Bai Ye held a similarly purple-black Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand. It was clearly several times larger than an ordinary halberd, exuding an immense sense of pressure and a palpable killing intent.
At this moment, Bai Ye twisted his neck, getting accustomed to his new body.
With all his physical attributes except intelligence tripling, Bai Ye's physical strength had skyrocketed.
And this was not the most terrifying part.
This was an increase by multiples, not a fixed numerical boost. This meant that the true terror of the War God Lu Bu's possession ability lay in its scalability: the stronger the user, the stronger the possession ability.
A 50-point strength tripling was not the same as a 100-point strength tripling, was it?
Thinking this, Bai Ye even felt that obtaining this item from the gacha machine now was somewhat of a waste of its potential!
Bai Ye grinned and said, "This truly lives up to the name of War God!"
As he mused, Bai Ye raised his halberd and swung it forward.
Boom!
With that swing, the iron bars of the cell door shattered. They weren't cut; they were blasted apart!
Under the immense force, the iron bars were reduced to a scattered mess.
Bai Ye put away the gacha machine and said to Seth, "Let's go!"
The two stepped out of the cell, and immediately a piercing alarm blared. As they moved along the corridor towards the stairs ahead, they saw a group of Grim Reapers at the entrance of the staircase.
Bai Ye hesitated not at all, his speed undiminished as he charged headfirst into them!
This "Grand Lord" was now a War God, what was he afraid of these weaklings for?
"Fang Tian Hua Zhan!"
Seeing the Grim Reapers rush forward, Bai Ye directly raised his halberd for a sweeping attack!
As the halberd blade swept forward, a purple-black crescent arc appeared, and a terrifying gale instantly whipped up around them!
With a single swing, the Grim Reapers at the forefront were sent flying. In an instant, the group of Grim Reapers was scattered in disarray.
On the other side, after the swing, Bai Ye felt a strange sensation, as if a peculiar power had suddenly surged within him. Bai Ye quickly understood.
Enchantment state!
This was also an incredibly terrifying effect.
Whether it was defensive equipment, items, magical arts, or special abilities, anything related to defense became meaningless in the enchantment state, because, under this state, all defenses could be ignored.
However...
Bai Ye glanced ahead with some embarrassment.
Why had they all fallen?
Bai Ye wanted to test how terrifying the enchantment state was, but there was no opportunity for a second strike. It was just one swing, and all the Grim Reapers in front of him had been taken down.
Bai Ye sighed, "Being too strong isn't good either. I wanted to play around a bit, but accidentally knocked everyone down."
Seth rolled his eyes. This show-off, I give you full marks.
The two quickly crossed over the groaning Grim Reapers and descended the stairs.
Upon reaching the next level, new Grim Reapers attacked, and then...
Bai Ye swung his halberd again!
The Grim Reapers had no resistance whatsoever. In fact, Bai Ye's Fang Tian Hua Ji didn't even need to truly strike the Grim Reapers.
A purple-black halberd light flashed, and a terrifying gale swept through. The Fang Tian Hua Ji didn't even touch the Grim Reapers; they were all sent flying as if struck by a heavy object.
"I told you I could get you out of here," Bai Ye said to Seth as they left the white tower and moved forward. "Your task of placing the markers, are there any restrictions?"
Seth replied, "It must be within five hundred meters of the four gates of the Silent Spirit Court. Placing a marker takes five minutes, but the marker contains ghost power and will automatically hide itself once placed and cannot be destroyed."
Bai Ye said, "That's quite convenient. We have to fight our way out anyway, and we're heading towards the four gates. You can just place the markers along the way."
"Mm!" Seth nodded, then worried, "But with all this commotion, is it really okay?"
Bai Ye chuckled, "Don't worry, I haven't even started using my full strength yet!"
As Bai Ye spoke, he continued to stride forward.
Grim Reapers were converging from all directions.
Bai Ye didn't attack, he just kept moving forward. After they had gathered, he unleashed a sweeping blow.
"Fang Tian Hua Zhan!"
Boom, boom, boom!
With Bai Ye's swing, the ground repeatedly shattered. Countless stones flew through the air, and dust billowed.
Then...
As the ground broke apart, the Grim Reapers who had just gathered were instantly blasted away.
In the blink of an eye, the Grim Reapers in front of Bai Ye and Seth were scattered, moaning and rolling on the ground.
The two walked past the Grim Reapers and continued their advance.
From the white tower prison to the four gates was not far, about two kilometers. Bai Ye had walked this path when he was brought in, so he knew the way.
They continued forward, leaving the white tower and entering a long street.
At the end of the street, more than a dozen Grim Reapers appeared. At the same time, from behind the surrounding walls, Grim Reapers began leaping up, standing on the walls and watching Bai Ye and Seth, encircling them.
And Bai Ye...
Still only swung his halberd once, with no change in his approach!
The Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand swung towards the side, hitting the side wall. Immediately, huge cracks appeared on the wall and spread wildly in both directions.
A roaring sound suddenly erupted. With that one swing, the wall on that side was completely pulverized by Bai Ye. The Grim Reapers standing on that wall all fell down, crushed beneath the collapsing wall.
Bai Ye walked forward and said contemptuously, "Incapable of a single blow!"
But at this moment...
From behind Bai Ye, the sound of running footsteps suddenly echoed, followed by a figure leaping from behind Bai Ye.
Bai Ye didn't even look back, directly raising his halberd and swinging it backward.
Clang!
A crisp clashing sound rang out.
"Hmm?"
Bai Ye was slightly surprised. The opponent hadn't been blown away?
Bai Ye turned to look. It was a bald man. Although he was sent flying backward by the blow, he used his feet to support himself and slid on the ground, not falling. He had managed to barely block Bai Ye's attack.
"A vice-captain level Grim Reaper?" Bai Ye slung the Fang Tian Hua Ji over his shoulder, looking at the opponent and smiling, "Finally, someone a little bit capable."
