Since the binding force of one black hole wasn't enough, more were summoned!
Soon, under the devouring darkness, three black holes formed, their mutual pull firmly restraining the Dragon.
Despite the Dragon's constant struggles, the tearing force limited the range of its movement to a confined space.
Next…
It was time to finish it off!
If attacking from the outside lacked sufficient power, then…
Attack from the inside!
While the might of the lightning blades was terrifying, the Dragon's body was also encased in a tough carapace, which would undoubtedly mitigate some of the attack's force.
So, what about attacking from the inside?
Surely this monster’s internal structure wouldn't also be covered in a carapace, would it?
As for the lightning blades, they indeed couldn't directly penetrate the Dragon's body, but Bai Ye could!
*Zzzt!*
Large arcs of electricity suddenly surged across Bai Ye's body, enveloping him in an instant. Then…
He transformed into lightning!
Elementalization wasn't solely for defense or evading attacks.
After elementalization, it could also be used for offense.
Bai Ye was the lightning!
Lightning was Bai Ye!
*BOOM!*
As dark currents wrapped around Bai Ye's entire form, he transformed into dark lightning and then slammed into the Dragon.
With a deafening roar!
Bai Ye, aiming for a gash on the Dragon's body, plunged directly inside and began to fiercely tear through its form.
The electricity instantly coursed through the Dragon's entire body, like countless sharp blades, shredding it.
As Bai Ye, in his lightning form, pushed forward, the Dragon's flesh and blood, under the relentless cutting of the current, completely broke down, tore apart, and shattered…
Streams of blood exploded outwards from the Dragon's body with Bai Ye's advance.
Blood mixed with shredded flesh, constantly splattering in all directions.
The Dragon's body began to split, breaking apart piece by piece, and then…
*BOOM!*
A violent explosion occurred once more.
A massive bloody maw opened on the Dragon's back, and its body was severed through the wound.
A terrifying black lightning pillar erupted from the Dragon's interior, shooting skyward and blasting a hole through the clouds.
In mid-air, Bai Ye reappeared.
In the final second, the duration of the enraged demon god expired, and the dark smoke swirling around Bai Ye gradually dissipated. The arcs of electricity surging from his body returned from black to a sapphire blue.
However, it was enough.
The Dragon's body completely broke apart and plummeted to the ground, smashing into it with immense force and pulverizing a section of the earth.
That pulpy mass of flesh and blood radiated a crimson glow before gradually fading, as if dissolving.
Ken Kaneki, with his white hair, reappeared within the dissipating remains, shirtless and unconscious.
"You have defeated the SSS-class Ghoul – Ken Kaneki (Dragon Form), and received a reward: Random Gold-tier item of a specified category x1."
Ken Kaneki was not dead; he had merely been forced out of his Dragon form.
However, Ken Kaneki was the only target that did not need to be killed, only defeated. As long as he was forced from his Dragon form back to his normal state, the mission would be considered complete.
Following this…
Bai Ye remembered something and immediately flickered, entering the building on the side that had been broken by the Dragon's massive body.
Everything was in disarray. Soon, Bai Ye found his target.
"He sure is fast!" Bai Ye's pupils constricted, and he gritted his teeth, "Isn't his greatest skill running away?"
Kichimura Arima was dead!
Kichimura Arima was impaled on a pillar, his chest pierced by several steel spikes, his life extinguished.
It was evident that Kichimura Arima's battle with Li Jiayi had ultimately ended with Li Jiayi as the victor.
Simultaneously, Kichimura Arima had clearly been dead for some time, and Li Jiayi had already fled.
Bai Ye couldn't help but grin. He had never intensely desired to kill someone so much before.
Li Jiayi was the first.
If this person wasn't eliminated, he would undoubtedly become a massive threat in the future.
Especially with the ghoul region's large restricted zone now activated. Bai Ye could confidently assert that this was Li Jiayi's doing.
Furthermore, if this individual could even create a restricted zone, could Bai Ye afford not to be wary of him?
In terms of causing trouble, Bai Ye had to admit his admiration for Li Jiayi.
However, killing this individual proved to be quite difficult.
Bai Ye let out a long sigh, having no intention of continuing the pursuit.
Although he wanted to kill Li Jiayi, too much time had already been wasted. Some of the Chosen Ones were already approaching the region's boundary.
This time, it wasn't just one or two, but a considerable number.
It wouldn't be easy for Bai Ye to teleport and eliminate them one by one. Most importantly, his trump cards had been used, and the remaining three targets wouldn't be so easy to kill.
Even if he obtained another Gold-tier item after a kill, losing the first-place Gold-tier item would mean he wouldn't profit in the end.
No, it would be a loss!
The first-place Gold-tier item was also of a specified type.
Given this, he should end this for now.
*Zzzt!*
As Bai Ye pondered, large arcs of electricity once again appeared on his body, and he vanished without a trace.
When Bai Ye reappeared, he was already at the edge of the region's boundary.
Without hesitation, Bai Ye stepped across the boundary.
"You have become the first Chosen One to leave the Ethereal Ghoul Region, and you have received a reward: Random Gold-tier item of a specified category x1."
"You have become one of the top ten Chosen Ones to leave the Ethereal Ghoul Region, and you have received a reward: Random Gold-tier item x1."
"You have become one of the top fifty Chosen Ones to leave the Ethereal Ghoul Region, and you have received a reward: Random Red-tier item x1."
"You have successfully left the Ethereal Ghoul Region, and you have received a reward: Random Black-tier item x1."
…
A screen appeared before Bai Ye, followed by a string of rewards.
Although there were no God Stones fragments, what else could he ask for right now?
He was rich!
Completely rich!
Like a windfall from the heavens, a golden ingot smashing someone's head bloody.
Two specified Gold-tier items, one random Gold-tier item, one random Red-tier item, and one random Black-tier item…
This was a large restricted zone!
The rewards were unimaginably abundant!
It was precisely because of this that Bai Ye understood that the opening of every large restricted zone was inevitably accompanied by bloody conflict. It would be considered fortunate if two or three out of ten people survived. The intensity of competition among the Chosen Ones could be described as a battle royale.
However…
Thinking about it this way…
Bai Ye felt he should even thank Li Jiayi?
Because, the competition in this ghoul region's large restricted zone hadn't actually been very fierce.
…
