Chapter 1023: Chapter 749: Not Here to Ask

"Come! Let’s see how tough you really are!!" Du Gang roared at the incoming Devourers for backup, but the onrushing Devourers all turned to charge at Zheng Yichen instead.

This left the Little Golden Man feeling somewhat awkward. He turned back to look at the demonic thoughts swirling around Zheng Yichen, which were quite similar to those he remembered. Even in battle, Zheng Yichen still exuded an undeniable demon-like presence.

Although Zheng Yichen had many fighting methods that seemed upright and honorable, once the battle started, this is how he fought. Du Gang had to admit that the strength Zheng Yichen was using now was indeed very effective.

He himself wanted to reach out to the Dusk Mercenary Group specifically to acquire some provocative methods of engagement.

Just one demonized Asura Battle Intent from Zheng Yichen sent the nearby Devourers into a rampage, even affecting him.

Under Zheng Yichen’s control, this influence turned out to be positive.

With heightened battle intent, one can better exert their own strength in combat; it’s just that he didn’t have an opponent right now.

They all went to find Zheng Yichen, leaving him standing there in Burst Mode by himself, feeling somewhat neglected. Therefore, Du Gang set his sights on the Energy cannon platforms.

Some Devourers originally intended to operate those Energy cannons, but under the influence of Zheng Yichen’s demonized Asura Battle Intent, they promptly abandoned such flashy armaments.

Choosing the battle between true men instead.

Du Gang leaped forward and dismantled the Energy cannon platforms one by one with his weapon. These weapons fired attacks powered by Sky Pillar’s energy, which was extremely dangerous.

With his Vajra Body, he could deflect the cannon’s attacks, but it would take an Ultimate Move to destroy them, and facing such weapons head-on was a foolish act.

After dismantling the nearby cannons, more backup Devourers arrived. This time, the place where Du Gang was located was beyond the influence of the Asura Battle Intent, and the Devourers focused their fire on him.

Laughing heartily, Du Gang swung his weapon and his golden saber Qi cleaved the Devourers that couldn’t dodge in time, turning them all into a bloody mist.

Backed by the Devouring Sky Pillar, without the chance for those Devourers to use the Sky Pillar’s energy immediately, they appeared very ’weak’.

However, the foundation of the Devourers was not so poor. After suffering losses, they remotely operated the Sky Pillar and obtained even more of the Sky Pillar’s energy.

The Sky Pillar was something rooted deeply in their world, with vast roots.

They could operate it from a great distance, but the Devourers that had just arrived still wanted to seize control over this Devouring Sky Pillar.

"It seems the previous intelligence was wrong."

Du Gang looked at a distant Devouring Sky Pillar and curled his lips slightly: "The strength of the Devourers is not just one-on-one."

"That’s pretty normal. Imagine the different worlds as bubbles; the world of the Devouring Faction can come into contact with several at once," Zheng Yichen communicated with Du Gang through the Illusory Eye connection.

Just as they were talking, a stream of light approached. When this stream of light was about to touch Zheng Yichen, it met a strong spatial distortion. The twisted space bent the stream of light.

Under the intense gaze of the attacker, the energy-condensed lightsaber broke under the fierce spatial distortion and the shattered light shavings scattered around Zheng Yichen.

Zheng Yichen reached out to grasp the broken Light Blade, which turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Here, have it back!"

!! The attacking Devourer was shocked, and even with full-strength Evasion, his arm was still pierced by the black Light Blade.

He could feel a surge of provocative battle intent influencing his mind, and from the shadows at Zheng Yichen’s feet emerged two points of flame.

The Ashes Silhouette stared eerily at him, igniting an unnamed rage in the heart of the Devourer.

He exhaled, mobilizing the Sky Pillar’s energy to repair his arm. Under the influence of the Sky Pillar’s power, black light threads flowed from the wound on his arm, remnants of the Black Light.

After removing this trace of influence, his mental state improved significantly. Looking at Zheng Yichen again, he felt an added wariness; an enemy capable of front-line combat while wielding strong mental influence was more than just troublesome.

"Proxy Agents... why?" The newly arrived Devourer was full of doubts. This was not the time for Proxy Agents to appear, but not only had Proxy Agents appeared, there were two of them at once, and they had even counter-invaded their world.

This led him to suspect that they had inadvertently invaded a world that already had Proxy Agents, and this world even had two of them!!

This made him curse the scrub players from the Equilibrium Faction internally; those gloomy beings, what kind of luck did they have to ’discover’ two Proxy Agents like that??

When did Proxy Agents become so abundant?

As much as he was conflicted, the battle still had to go on. As for persuading the Proxy Agents to leave and then abandoning the invasion?

Hmm... persuading the Dusk Mercenary would be fine, but there’s no chance of reconciliation with Proxy Agents unless they do not value their lives to accommodate them, but is that possible?

With a slight raise of his finger, a beam of light peeled away from the Devouring Sky Pillar. The eyes of the Devourer who made the move emitted a pale white light. From the brief exchange just now, it was apparent that dealing with Zheng Yichen was quite difficult.

The light pillars dispersed into dozens around the Devourer and collectively closed in on Zheng Yichen, sealing off his range of movement. Some of the light pillars even congealed into Light Blades, slashing towards Zheng Yichen from various angles.

Watching the extremely dangerous attack approach Zheng Yichen, it abruptly transformed in shape, forming a cage of light in combination with the enclosing light pillars.

This cage was directly linked to the Devouring Sky Pillar by the operation of the Devourer.

Sigh... Seeing his entrapment take effect, the Devourer who initiated it let out a slight breath of relief, the pale gleam in his eyes fading away. The high-intensity use of the Sky Pillar’s energy also had a significant impact on him.

But as long as it could restrict the Proxy Agent, that was enough. He had fought against other Proxy Agents and managed to confine them with this move.

As for the Proxy Agents they had killed... Well, so far, they had eliminated only two, and the rest had mainly opted for tactical retreat.

After all, in worlds with high environmental levels, the combat effectiveness that Proxy Agents could unleash was truly ferocious. Of course, after the appearance of Proxy Agents, they had already devoured sufficient world resources.

Not being able to completely devour was not an issue; it was merely a difference between earning more or less, but a profit was guaranteed in the end.

At the moment, having Proxy Agents invading their world was a first-time encounter for him, and the strength that Proxy Agents could exert in their world made him reluctant to think too much about it.

"BOSS, this cage is directly connected to the Sky Pillar, which is very troublesome," said Lilith, whose voice came through as she tried to disrupt the cage using energy interference, but the impact she could impose on it was weak.

Even using the Sky Pillar’s energy collected by Zheng Yichen to break through would take a considerable amount of time.

By then, all the forces of the Devouring Faction would have already returned to defend.

"No need to panic." Zheng Yichen tapped the edge of the cage with his fishing rod, triggering a localized explosion of the Sky Pillar’s energy.

He put several Sky Pillar crystals, which he had previously collected, into his mouth, and space around him twisted severely. Under the astonished gaze of the Devourer, the black Demonic Abyss with spatial distortion broke open the cage.

In terms of the cage’s total energy, Zheng Yichen’s attack fell short as the object was connected to the Devouring Sky Pillar. However, breaking the cage did not necessarily require surpassing the energy limit.

As long as the burst of energy could exceed the strength limit of the cage for an instant, one could bypass the phase of direct energy consumption conflict.

"What!!?" The Devourer was shocked at the black Demonic Abyss rushing towards him, hurriedly drawing more Sky Pillar’s energy into densely woven Light Blades.

He tried to cut through the encroaching black Demonic Abyss, but the Light Blades were broken by the spatial distortion at the edge of the Abyss.

Ultimately, the Demonic Abyss was blocked by a giant Light Blade that had condensed into form.

The Devourer looked terrified at the Demonic Abyss just a few hundred meters away and, without hesitation, chose to retreat. In the next instant, a figure shrouded in a Scarlet Aura burst forth from the Abyss.

In his hand was a black spear that he thrust with the might of thunder towards the Devourer.

A blood-red dragon shadow devoured the Devourer amidst his alarm.

"Cough cough, you will die here!!" The Devourer, impaled through the chest with a spear and looking at Zheng Yichen weakly, had his strength crushed by Zheng Yichen’s attack.

He could feel the Sky Pillar’s energy he had absorbed into his body going out of control, which made the Devourer even more frantically absorb the Sky Pillar’s energy, planning a close-range mutual destruction through self-destruction.

Taking advantage of Zheng Yichen’s intent to extract more information from him, he saw if he could take the Proxy Agent down with him...

As for surviving?

After that spear thrust, he had no chance of living on, even if Zheng Yichen didn’t make a move, the out-of-control Sky Pillar’s energy would crystallize him, turning him into cultivation resources for others.

"That’s not necessarily the case, as I am now a Proxy Agent with reserves too," said Zheng Yichen with a smile. "Alright, I have some questions I’d like to ask you."

Indeed.

The Devourer sneered in his heart, about to say something but his expression turned to one of horror; Zheng Yichen’s words did not match his actions. The moment he was about to speak, the blood in his body rapidly drained away.

This speed exceeded his reaction time. By the time he realized what was happening, everything before his eyes was pitch black, and he no longer had any strength left to self-destruct... Wasn’t he going to ask questions?

"Souls nearly crystallized, and yet Sky Pillar’s energy is still so potent." Shaking the black spear in his hand and dispersing the surrounding powder, Zheng Yichen began searching for his next ’victim.’

This Devourer had utilized the Sky Pillar’s energy to a great extent, and in the end, even intended to self-destruct, recklessly absorbing the Sky Pillar’s energy, which even affected his soul. Zheng Yichen did not spare such a soul.

After all, it couldn’t be preserved. Keeping it in the Soul-Subduing space would only yield a peculiar Crystal, so it was better to devour it before crystallization.

As for the Devourer’s thoughts of self-destruction, Zheng Yichen had no telepathy, but his thermal vision could see the process of the Devourer gathering Sky Pillar’s power at close range. Since this was to his advantage, Zheng Yichen didn’t interfere more than necessary.

Before the Devourer could achieve the self-destruct, his actions were simply a resource delivery to Zheng Yichen.
