Chapter 1186: Chapter 858: Special Effect Stream Attack?

"Boss, your idea is theoretically viable, but it would actually affect your combat abilities." Lilith seriously analyzed the issue for Zheng Yichen.

The Ancient Venerable that Zheng Yichen conjured might just be a blank slate, or possess a lot of passive but no active abilities. This would be a disadvantageous move for Zheng Yichen.

After all, the Ancient Immortal Mountain is currently playing a suppressive role, and using it as material would instantly rip open the crack in the sky.

The Breakworld event, which originally had half a month, would become immediate.

Even if Zheng Yichen had the power to slow down the Breakworld event, a portion of his strength would be diverted. How could he then contend with the Ancient Venerable?

"If you want to use the power of the Ancient Immortal Mountain, you can just use Earth Devouring."

"A shame." Zheng Yichen sighed and gave up on the idea of the Ancient Venerable body. Lilith had a point. If indeed he tried to create an Ancient Venerable body, using too little of the Ancient Immortal Mountain might be ineffective, and overusing it could lead to failure.

And with Earth Devouring, he could control this issue at will.

Eradicating part of the Ancient Immortal Mountain meant reducing some of the seal time. As long as he could resolve the battle that day, the rest were minor concerns.

As he spoke, Zheng Yichen conjured a massive amount of Hellfire and checked the task time in this world through the Illusory Eye.

Using the soil and rocks from the Ancient Immortal Mountain to make Hellfire would decrease the time by about twenty seconds to a minute.

But seeing these Hellfires acting like an unstoppable force, Zheng Yichen felt that this consumption was worth it. With the presence of these Hellfires, the ominous beings lost their numerical advantage.

Some Hellfires even boldly carved a bloody path towards the Ancient Venerable of the unholy, however, ordinary Hellfire extinguished upon approaching the Ancient Venerable. The Hellfire made with the soil of the Ancient Immortal Mountain could withstand longer.

A small fist struck the Ancient Venerable’s foot with no reaction. The flames clinging to it quickly extinguished, as the number of Hellfires increased.

The Ancient Venerable, bound by numerous seals, finally moved, slightly lifting its foot and pressing down on the Hellfires... Zheng Yichen ordered the remaining Hellfires to distance themselves from the Ancient Venerable, to avoid more losses.

"Sigh, I haven’t encountered many targets with a normal physique."

The ominous and unclean phenomena generated by the Ancient Venerable are passive. These ominous entities and corruption would actively corrode and destroy the Ancient Immortal Mountain, but enough Hellfire was able to contain them, reducing the threat significantly.

Zheng Yichen looked around, planning to find any survivors hiding here. He disliked the scenario where he handled big issues, only for a bunch of scrub players to sneakily try to gain benefits.

Even if the things they might pocket weren’t important to him, encountering such a situation would be uncomfortable for anyone.

Thus, Zheng Yichen planned to root them out first. If they were victims, he’d simply draw the Gate of Hell and let them escape through Hell. After all, if they survived at the peak of the Ancient Immortal Mountain, returning to a normal environment through Hell shouldn’t be difficult, right?

If they were the problematic kind, he would deal with them directly!

Crack—

A loud noise resounded, the seals in the sky fractured at several points, simultaneously breaking the connection to the Ancient Venerable’s seal, allowing a part of the unholy Ancient Venerable to move.

The dark red eyes locked onto Zheng Yichen, and the Ancient Venerable slowly lifted its palm. During this slow process, Zheng Yichen felt a pressure as heavy as a thousand pounds.

The surroundings turned dark, with phenomena resembling stellar explosions appearing.

Without hesitation, Zheng Yichen activated his metamorphosed body fully, entered Burst Mode Stage 3, and a phantom of the World Tree emerged behind him. The comprehensive enhancement and substantial burning of the Essence of Life allowed Zheng Yichen to instantly enter an explosive state.

The pressure, once as heavy as a thousand pounds, felt light now. Zheng Yichen then noticed that the slowly rising palm was not actually slow; it seemed the perceived speed changed as the pressure reduced.

Zheng Yichen’s figure vanished on the spot, the metamorphosed body pushed his speed to the limit, and a black-bladed sword struck the Ancient Venerable’s palm, making Zheng Yichen’s size seem smaller than a strand of hair compared to the Ancient Venerable.

Yet, the attack penetrated the Ancient Venerable’s skin, imbued with mountains and river veins.

The attacked Ancient Venerable even showed feedback, with the crumbling mountains and river veins producing a new earthquake.

Dark red blood flowed like magma, staining part of the Ancient Venerable’s arm.

"Ugh... so unbearable!" Zheng Yichen grimaced, the lava-like blood from the Ancient Venerable had a use, but it made Zheng Yichen feel awful.

Specifically, it was like someone who couldn’t handle spice forcefully stuffed a handful of chili into their mouth, making Zheng Yichen feel utterly unwell.

The boiling of blood, something Zheng Yichen experienced before, normally occurred when using Burst Mode Stage 2, where the blood could boil an egg, yet that didn’t affect Zheng Yichen.

Only the Stage 3 life force burning truly impacted him, but it never felt like this.

Now, it seemed like the level of blood boiling had exceeded the body’s tolerance, yet the absorbed blood contained very little ’nourishment’.

There was nourishment, but not much. It was probably because the Ancient Venerable’s body was too gigantic, and the ’blood’ that flowed out contained very little of the actual blood part, with the rest being mostly harmful substances. Now, extracting blood felt like trying to find useful parts in a big pile of nuclear wastewater...

Maintaining it for no more than a few seconds, Zheng Yichen, engulfed in flames, moved out of the range of the Ancient Venerable’s arm. Fine traces of mountains and earth veins appeared on his body, but even these traces were in a state of collapse.

As the steaming heat dissipated, those revealed traces also vanished, and as for the changes in his body, Zheng Yichen felt nothing.

The useful parts in the magma-like blood he absorbed were just too little, to the point where he couldn’t benefit at all.

Zheng Yichen could understand this... The Ancient Venerable was already a corpse, how many useful parts could such a thing still have? Even if it was forcibly awakened, becoming something ominous, it didn’t necessarily mean it had come back to life.

It’s already fortunate that the blood flowing out wasn’t considered dead blood.

Yet based on the feeling he just experienced, trying to kill the Ancient Venerable by directly drawing blood was impossible.

The injury on the Ancient Venerable didn’t heal. The magma-like blood dripped onto the ground, immediately becoming a greater omen. Zheng Yichen slashed an ominous thing with a single cut, immediately abandoning any extra thoughts.

It was the same feeling as pouring magma into a blood vessel, just like the ominous creatures formed by the particles peeled off from the Ancient Venerable—all fake and inferior blood.

Completely different from those creatures affected by the omen that became ominous.

Let’s let those Hellfire deal with these troubles.

The final palm of the Ancient Venerable that never rose fell down, missing Zheng Yichen, but causing a world-shaking phenomenon where it hit.

Even though it was a phenomenon, Zheng Yichen didn’t doubt the power of these manifestations. Other phenomena seemed false, but such phenomena from the Ancient Venerable were real!

If Zheng Yichen got struck, he’d surely suffer a world-shattering blow, much like his own Wrath of Nature, except Wrath of Nature directly impacts the environment.

The Ancient Venerable’s attack instead substituted for the environmental impact, autonomously generating, or rather temporarily manifesting an environment for the attack.

Truth be told, Zheng Yichen never encountered opponents with such special effects attacks.

How to describe these special effects style things? Generally, they appear in games, and for the most part, are considered flashy toys, useful for bullying ordinary little monsters, but when dealing with those big bosses that require a concerted assault, they’re just for show.

But in reality, it’s different. The Ancient Venerable could casually unleash a high-powered Wrath of Nature, without affecting the environment, while inflicting maximum damage on enemies... possibly even surpassing environmental limits?

Is that possible?

With these thoughts, maintaining his metamorphosed body, Zheng Yichen’s figure was ethereal and agile, swiftly slicing through the air around the Ancient Venerable’s raised arm. From a distance, it appeared as a thin black line cutting across the Ancient Venerable’s arm, from which magma began to flow.

The attack seemed very limited; in reality, they were all superficial wounds. The most direct feeling Zheng Yichen had was like operating an excavator against the earth, easily digging out a large patch of soil, but this obviously couldn’t let him excavate the entire planet.

The attack was effective yet ineffective, blood extraction was akin to filling himself with magma, providing little to no feedback. Perhaps only after pouring in dozens or even hundreds of tons of magma would he feel anything?

By then, he would already be burnt to death.

Boom——

Zheng Yichen flew out from the edge of a meteor shattering phenomenon, carrying burns left by the impact. Although these wounds quickly healed, the attack definitely penetrated the flame, disregarded his metamorphosed body’s immune properties, and directly acted upon him.

No doubt about it, even though the Ancient Venerable wasn’t in a complete state, the phenomena accompanying its attacks could break through environmental limits, yet such powerful attacks wouldn’t significantly impact the environment.

The rugged Ancient Immortal Mountain was more the result of Zheng Yichen’s impacts, rather than the Ancient Venerable’s doing. Even transformed into an omen, the Ancient Venerable was still so environmental-friendly?

What nonsense!

Disregarding the ill-timed thoughts, Zheng Yichen gazed at where the Ancient Venerable pointed his finger. The dark sky cleared, and Zheng Yichen’s pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw a massive number of meteors descending from the sky, covering the entire Ancient Immortal Mountain!

"This move, I want to learn it too!!"

With a swath of Oblivion black Demonic Abyss Deluge, he cleaved the falling meteors one by one, yet more meteors ruthlessly crashed down, igniting a huge area with explosive impact.

After the impact ended, the Ancient Immortal Mountain remained unscathed, but all those Hellfire and ominous corruptions were completely gone.

Zheng Yichen panted slightly in the center of the explosion, with spatial distortions swirling around him, the twisted scars of the Demonic Abyss encircling him, making it clear that enduring such a strike wasn’t easy.
