Chapter 1018: Chapter 745 Never Seen Before

The Devouring Sky Pillar bestowed upon Zheng Yichen an experience of a very unique power, but such things are often stumbled upon by chance and cannot be sought after deliberately. If he were in the Great World, he would have some ’roots’ related to the Devouring Sky Pillar in his possession.

In the face of certain situations, this would make things much easier for him.

"Huh~ An old friend."

Tanshia Firlo asked in confusion, "What can this do?"

"It’s edible."

Zheng Yichen said with a grin, not worried that his behavior would draw any attention, as many Dusk mercenaries were engaged in such root-digging activities.

It’s just that most of the time, the effects of such actions are mediocre, with the Devourers guarding the largest roots, and the smaller ones, even if dug up, are inconsequential and can even be used as bait.

As long as those Dusk mercenaries are preoccupied with these roots, the Devouring Faction gains more time to carry out their plans.

"Edible??" The small white dragon widened her eyes in disbelief, pondering the feasibility of Zheng Yichen’s words, not too doubtful that Zheng Yichen was just pulling her leg.

"Yes, it can be eaten."

As he spoke, Zheng Yichen snapped off a root of the Devouring Sky Pillar and stuffed it into his mouth under the watchful eyes of Tanshia Firlo.

"Can it really be eaten?" mumbled the small white dragon, her face showing hope, "Can I try some?"

"Of course not." Zheng Yichen said very straightforwardly; after all, the Devouring Sky Pillar itself is a very cold entity, and while the small white dragon isn’t afraid of the cold, the chill of this thing isn’t just about normal temperature.

Eating too much could cause one’s blood and body to be tainted, and Zheng Yichen can withstand it due to his special physique, but for others, it could spell disaster.

Under Tanshia Firlo’s watchful eyes, Zheng Yichen continued eating while constantly digging up new roots to store. In the past, these things were difficult to preserve, but not anymore.

Lilith has undergone several enhancements, and her built-in space can preserve such items and prevent the natural dissipation of Sky Pillar’s energy.

Just as Zheng Yichen was engaged in his task, Lilith’s projection appeared: "BOSS, there’s a slight issue that requires your personal attention."

"Oh? Let me see."

Inside the built-in space, Zheng Yichen saw the World Tree roots lighting up, a space’s edge that normally had nothing, like air walls.

After Zheng Yichen had strengthened the fishing rod with the World Tree seed, the air wall faintly revealed root-like ’reliefs’, even giving a tangible texture when touched directly.

Usually, Zheng Yichen just considered it as an additional layer of skin within the built-in space and didn’t pay much attention to it.

But now, with a large number of Devouring Sky Pillar crystals inserted, these root reliefs began to absorb the material.

Pale light spots dissipated from the Sky Pillar crystals and merged into the root reliefs.

"BOSS, should we limit this?"

"Limit what? No need to restrict it, let it absorb freely." Zheng Yichen said generously, believing it to be a good thing. He had been considering how to accelerate the growth of the World Tree before, but now it seemed he had found quite an excellent fertilizer.

The World Tree inherently takes root in planets to grow, and the Devouring Sky Pillar also roots itself into planets, drawing deeper on World Resources.

The extracted matter appears to become a more efficient fertilizer, potentially accelerating the growth of the World Tree.

Before this discovery, Zheng Yichen had been somewhat restrained in digging up those roots, but now? Restraint, what’s that?

He began to dig with incredible efficiency. Since the Sky Pillar has strong resistance to energy attacks, he resorted to physical attacks, leveraging his Vajra Body to yank and pull.

And with Lilith’s restriction lifted, the Sky Pillar crystals imported into the built-in space dissipated rapidly, almost the moment they were put in, scattering into numerous light spots.

Naturally, Zheng Yichen’s actions attracted the Devourers’ attention, and a group of Devourers quickly closed in on his location. But before they arrived, they were ambushed by another wave of Dusk mercenaries.

The ambushing Dusk mercenaries were very experienced, and their sudden attack wiped out a third of the Devourers, with the rest thrown into disarray by the stealth attack.

Zheng Yichen, without any hesitation, buffed the Dusk mercenaries with the Eye of Life and then left the area very straightforwardly, adopting a hit-and-run tactic.

By the time he returned, Du Gang had a startled expression: "What’s happened to you??"

He noticed that Zheng Yichen’s lips were white, not the whiteness of blood loss, but a radiant hue, and his eyes appeared as if shaded with eyeshadow, his skin like white jade, seemingly fragile to the touch.

"Just ate something, it’s no big deal."

"No big deal? You didn’t go eat a Sky Pillar, did you?" Du Gang asked, barely keeping a straight face.

"Yes, that’s right."

"..." Little Golden Man couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth; he knew about Zheng Yichen’s ability to strengthen himself by consuming things, which had been displayed back in the Great World.

But he didn’t foresee that Zheng Yichen’s edible range extended beyond food, to even other things; yet, that was a Sky Pillar crystal.

Not to mention eating it, even utilizing it profoundly could lead to disaster, as Sky Pillar crystals easily cause anyone who comes in contact with them to crystallize.

The reason is that the energy density and quality of the crystals are too high, so high that anyone who contacts them can hardly withstand the infiltration and assimilation by the Sky Pillar’s energy.
