Chapter 1151: Chapter 834: Mockery of Fate?_2

This made the Fate-Defying Supreme Demon feel the mockery of destiny. Before this moment, he had never thought he would die here... or die so quickly.

As the words fell, the body of the Fate-Defying Supreme Demon in front of Zheng Yichen dissipated into dust. The Oblivion force carried by his Inner Strength had already shattered the opponent’s power, leaving them completely defenseless against the life-draining magic.

The demonic armor on his opponent’s body had long since decayed amidst the eruption of Oblivion force. Meanwhile, the demon flames on Zheng Yichen continued to burn, and the cat spirit emerged, anxiously staring at the demon flames.

Zheng Yichen released the ashes silhouette, but even the ashes silhouette was helpless against these flames.

He was now trapped in a cycle of injury and recovery through the Ark of Life’s revival system. These demon flames seemed as though they would never extinguish, possessing a strong clinginess to him.

Even if Zheng Yichen peeled off the flesh contaminated by the demon flames, the flames would reattach to the flesh before it was fully stripped away.

"Boss, the energy interference has been burned away." Lilith’s figure appeared nearby, having resorted to emergency measures in dealing with the demon flames, yet their burning characteristics were still too overpowering.

Even a mere projection could be burned.

After activating Virtual Genesis, even in the Virtual World, removing the demon flames proved nearly impossible. These flames could burn projections, let alone the Virtual World, which is more tangible than projections.

"No need to hurry too much." Zheng Yichen took a deep breath. After recovering some Inner Strength, he used the Oblivion force to extinguish the demon flames on his body. Then, with the Ark of Life’s revival system, his physical state returned to normal instantly.

The Fate-Defying Supreme Demon had provided him with a large amount of Life Force, but Zheng Yichen’s own maximum Essence of Life capacity was so high that the restored Life Force had not even reached one-third...

The truly significant gain was the new power obtained after eliminating the Fate-Defying Supreme Demon. It wasn’t the demon flames—though Zheng Yichen thought those flames looked incredibly cool.

However, those demon flames were evidently just a form of energy cultivated by the Fate-Defying Supreme Demon, not a power intrinsic to him. So even after Zheng Yichen obliterated him, devoured his soul, and wiped him out completely, he didn’t acquire the stylish black demon flames.

Instead, he gained a somewhat peculiar ability.

It seemed related to destiny. He could feel it distinctly, especially through the strengthening of his equipment by destiny-related artifacts. Although it was primarily defensive, it could still sense similar powers when confronted.

The Power of Destiny wasn’t particularly user-friendly. Previously, Du Gang had educated Zheng Yichen on the complications of this force. Passive interaction with destiny’s power allowed free manipulation without it being considered cheating—even if one successfully defied fate, there would be corresponding ’rewards,’ without bearing excessive backlash or consequences.

If consequences arose, it meant the defiance wasn’t thorough or successful enough. Fully succeeding wouldn’t leave any aftermath.

However, if one possessed destiny-related abilities and attempted to defy fate on that foundation, complete success or absolute thoroughness would be impossible. One would also face additional penalties, mocked by destiny itself.

As a result, Zheng Yichen was not particularly fond of destiny-based powers. Even relevant equipment and artifacts were used merely for defensive enhancements.

Actively engaging with and analyzing destiny? He truly had no such thoughts.

But now, without intending it, he had somehow acquired destiny-related powers??

"Fate-Defying Supreme Demon... is that so? Demon flames are merely an external manifestation of power." Zheng Yichen murmured. Just like the Oblivion force carried by his Inner Strength, it was also an external form, unrelated to his true Extraordinary Abilities.

Yet this didn’t change the fact that his Inner Strength was strong enough. Coupled with Oblivion, it could even defeat Supreme Demons from alien worlds.

"Boss, if you want those demon flames, I can perform analysis and decryption." Lilith offered.

"Hmm? Is that really possible?"

"Of course. Collect the demon flames using the Fate-Defying Supreme Demon’s demonic armor, then recycle them afterward." Lilith explained, adding that after integrating with the Virtual World core, her functionality had become immensely versatile and comprehensive, suggesting that Zheng Yichen should invest more effort into exploring her potential.

"Whew~ Alright, let’s begin." Zheng Yichen temporarily set aside the matter of Fate-Defying Supreme Demon’s powers. He could delve into it later; for now, the priority was cleaning up the scene.

After he had unleashed his full power to shatter the Sky Incineration Black Sun, some of the demon flames scattered across the battlefield, while others dispersed elsewhere.

Still, most of them had been directly redirected toward him through the Fate-Defying Supreme Demon’s coordinated attacks, burning through his Burst Mode aura and ultimately overwhelming his Vajra Body. Although the cat spirit cloak, which was resistant to flames, could block the demon flames, its protection wasn’t comprehensive.

The demon flames slipped through every gap, infiltrating Zheng Yichen’s body relentlessly, causing him considerable discomfort.

After the battle ended, the nearby Dusk mercenaries who had been observing the fight began to take action, as did the military forces on-site. They swiftly sealed off areas where the demon flames had scattered.

The demon flames appeared to have merely burned small pits into the ground, but their destructive power was terrifying. Someone recklessly tried to poke at them with a stick from close range, only to have the flames instantly spread onto their body. Without a single sound, they were reduced to ashes.

These black flames were exceedingly dangerous. No container could effectively hold them; the only option was to seal off the area completely.

The Dusk mercenaries experimented with various methods, but none worked.

"Such a phenomenal fire, yet too difficult to contain." Several Dusk mercenaries stared at the burning demon flames with shining eyes. Such fire would be incredible for cultivation, but unfortunately, even treasures like the Fire-Containment Pearl were ineffective.
