I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature
Chapter 1140 - 826: Not Recovery

Chapter 1140: Chapter 826: Not Recovery

This simulated cultivation was specifically designed to strengthen Zheng Yichen’s power, making Oblivion much more significant for him. The strong impression left by witnessing the Oblivion in the world felt like a seed capable of germinating.

The creation of new life through the simulated Calamity Star, however, was like rootless water, far too weak to leave any substantial impression on Zheng Yichen, let alone persist.

Lilith documented the information regarding this kind of power, but merely recording it doesn’t mean it can be faithfully simulated within the Virtual World. At best, it can mimic the external appearance; even Zheng Yichen’s Oblivion cannot be fully simulated.

This kind of power can only emerge under specific conditions.

Crack—

A series of fractures sounded. Zheng Yichen didn’t have time to check his own condition, swiftly escaping the deep layers of the Chaos Furnace despite his exhaustion. The Virtual World wasn’t fully submerged; part of it still existed outside as a precaution.

Now, the surrounding environment began to show issues. The backlash commenced, so naturally, he had to run faster.

The chaotic torrent, along with the twisted chaotic space, compressed and surged toward him. At the moment of Zheng Yichen’s escape, the vacuum-like portion of the environment was swallowed up, causing a rumbling that made the Chaos Furnace tremble.

A massive number of Chaos creatures were pulverized in the ensuing vibration.

"Whew~ That was terrifying." Inside the Chaos Furnace, Zheng Yichen exhaled and checked his physical state. Things didn’t look great—his Essence of Life was severely depleted, leaving less than one-fifth remaining.

This simulated cultivation was unlike the past ones in the Virtual World; this time, it was conducted physically, resulting in significant consumption of his own resources. Nonetheless, the outcome was worthwhile.

Zheng Yichen could clearly feel the transformation of the Oblivion impression. Initially an indelible impression, it had now evolved into something far more vivid. Previously, it had been an etched impression; now, it had become a three-dimensional representation.

More lifelike and tangible, Zheng Yichen raised his hand and released some Blood Asura Inner Force, the crimson power shrouded with a layer of Oblivion aura.

Zheng Yichen didn’t dwell on the three-dimensional evolution of the Oblivion impression. The Oblivion infused into his Inner Strength was now self-generated. Although it didn’t match the force of the replicated Oblivion impression, this bit of Oblivion belonged to him.

Though weak, it had already taken form. Using this power wouldn’t affect him personally, unlike replicating the Oblivion impression, which could lead to backlash if maintained too long.

The backlash wasn’t limited to the body—it impacted the spirit as well. Physical repercussions could be recovered from, but the mental effects carried far more severe consequences.

"Oblivion is not a rampage." Zheng Yichen gazed at the Oblivion-imbued power in his hand, remarking that Oblivion was a force silently consuming the world.

It didn’t manifest in giant waves that screamed "world-ending." Instead, Oblivion simply dissolved everything into silent darkness.

"Mirror." Dispelling the Inner Strength in his hand, Zheng Yichen called out, and a projected mirror appeared. Observing his reflection, Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but grin slightly: "Do I look older again?"

"This is temporary, BOSS. Your hair color has already returned to normal." Lilith chimed in from the side. Replicating the Oblivion impression had a significant impact on Zheng Yichen, but these effects were temporary. Lilith continuously monitored Zheng Yichen’s physical changes.

She confirmed that, despite the perceived "aging" caused by Oblivion, Zheng Yichen would recover over time. Moreover, he had now developed his own Oblivion power, which granted him additional resistance to such physical transformations.

"I don’t think it’s a recovery—it looks more like my hair’s been dyed." Zheng Yichen carefully examined his hair color. Previously, the black was normal; now, the black seemed to bear the same hue brought by Oblivion.

Thinking of something, he grabbed a flashlight and shone it on his hair. As expected, the light seemed to vanish upon contact, leaving no visible reflection or beam.

"Alright then." Putting the flashlight away, Zheng Yichen shrugged. It absorbed light—fine, as long as it didn’t absorb heat. Returning to his normal hair color wasn’t a bad thing.

"Let’s head back." The results of this simulated cultivation were monumental, gifting him a highly tangible form of Oblivion power. This breakthrough was a significant enhancement for Zheng Yichen.

Abilities like Chaos power and Elements manipulation were acquired through Extraordinary Abilities, whereas Inner Strength was cultivated by him personally. The Oblivion power that integrated with his Inner Strength was also cultivated, not bestowed through Extraordinary Abilities.

It wasn’t that Zheng Yichen doubted his Extraordinary Abilities—after all, they were his own talents—but relying solely on them to obtain new powers made him feel like he was taking shortcuts, lacking something truly his own.

Though, of course, Extraordinary Abilities were an innate part of him.

Now, alongside the self-cultivated Blood Asura Inner Force, Oblivion power had also been cultivated independently.

"BOSS, the star core battery has suffered extensive depletion. Full recovery will take another twenty-one hours."

"That long? Then let’s not rush out. Let’s rest here for a bit." Zheng Yichen glanced around at the blood-red land dyed from the Chaos creatures’ demise in the chaotic disturbances.

There was little he could do about it; the mindless Chaos creatures kept swarming toward him. His attempt to drive them away resulted in a battle as they surged together to attack him.

Standing atop the exaggerated terrain of the Chaos Furnace, Zheng Yichen began restoring his energy. Once Lilith’s battery recovered halfway, he departed the Chaos Furnace.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to stay longer, but his presence continually attracted more Chaos creatures. Lingering further would only lead to another confrontation.

After leaving the Chaos Furnace, Zheng Yichen sought out areas within the world of magic that contained abnormalities. These zones housed peculiar creatures that could be eradicated without leaving any lingering consequences.

As for Demigods? He wanted to encounter them but had no luck locating any. Zheng Yichen’s prior slaying of Demigods remained unresolved, and it was unlikely they would re-emerge so quickly.

Thus, Zheng Yichen turned his attention to powerful creatures instead. After replenishing some Essence of Life, he returned to Landen, the City of Peace.

"I’ve mastered some Oblivion power," Zheng Yichen announced directly to Tia.

Tia’s expression remained calm as she replied, "That’s your own matter."

"But this is Oblivion," Zheng Yichen emphasized. He’d seriously considered this issue during his journey, knowing Dusk would be aware of it regardless. Even so, he had to ask.

"This isn’t true Oblivion." Tia insisted, extending her hand toward Zheng Yichen. "Give me your hand, and show me your Oblivion."

"...You’re not setting me up, are you?" Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but suspect that Tia’s motives might be less than pure. After all, this was Dusk, a place that prohibited violence. Using Oblivion here...

Wasn’t this akin to a raid leader asking who didn’t understand mechanics in a game, only to boot them from the party afterward?

"No, I’m not."

Offering his hand, Zheng Yichen lightly activated a trace of Oblivion power. Tia remarked, "Too weak."

Fine. With his mind eased slightly, Zheng Yichen strengthened the Oblivion power. Tia nodded: "That’s better."

A faint black mark appeared on her palm, though there were no apparent issues. She pulled out a handkerchief, wiped the mark away, and it disappeared. "True Oblivion wouldn’t be this weak."

"...Alright then." With the assertion from Dusk’s nun, Zheng Yichen had no grounds for rebuttal. By Dusk’s standards, it might not qualify, but Zheng Yichen still felt it was decent.

At the very least, Tia’s palm bore a black mark, didn’t it?

Having concluded his business at Dusk, Zheng Yichen returned to his residence in Landen City to check on things. After nearly three days apart, the changes in Ahn Qi were significant.

She hadn’t undergone Dragon Blood Refining Body, yet her physique resembled someone who had. Her aura exuded remarkable intensity, and subtle shifts in her pupils transformed them from round to elliptical.

"What’s going on here? Did your sister mutate?"

"...It’s a controlled, beneficial transformation," Ahn Ke explained, elaborating on the matter. After coming to the world of magic, Ahn Qi’s transplanted arm had finally unleashed its full potential.

This drastically elevated Ahn Qi’s lifeform level, triggering intense changes to her external characteristics in a short period.

The arm had been specifically cultivated, preventing any resulting abnormalities. Combined with Ahn Ke’s assistance, Ahn Qi navigated through the most dangerous phase successfully.

The subtle alterations in her pupils remained within an acceptable range.

"So, she possesses Essence of Life now as well?" In Zheng Yichen’s perception, Ahn Qi’s Life Force had indeed grown significantly stronger.

"No, that attribute isn’t easily obtained. Ahn Qi’s physique isn’t robust enough—hers is more akin to Tanshia Filo’s ’Heartblood.’"

The small white dragon possessed a degraded form of Essence of Life, manifesting as blood. Ahn Qi’s variation was even weaker, though it still allowed her to accrue substantial amounts of Life Force.

"The experimental data from Ahn Qi will further refine research on Essence of Life."

Ahn Qi, present nearby, couldn’t help but want to roll her eyes. Ahn Ke described it so casually, but the transformative process had been far from easy for her. Experiencing each muscle fiber seemingly coming alive and writhing had been anything but pleasant.

Thankfully, adjustments eventually restored normalcy, though Ahn Qi was acutely aware of the changes in herself: improved vision, smoother skin, and alterations she found less acceptable.

Her weight had increased, and despite her more proportionate body, the fact remained—she had gained weight.

"Have you returned to normal? Let me check your body." After addressing Ahn Qi’s situation, Ahn Ke refocused on Zheng Yichen, prioritizing his transformations.

When Zheng Yichen had left earlier, he’d still had white hair. Now, it was black.
