Chapter 1188: Chapter 860: Losing Consciousness?

He glanced back at the pillar of flames; it wasn’t an ordinary Earth Fire phenomenon but the rage of the planet itself... The Ancient Venerable’s attacks were always earth-shattering, disturbing the stars. Although it was just a phenomenon, if you got hit, it was more than just a phenomenon.

On his first attempt with the Ancient Venerable’s phenomenon effect attack, he got blown up in one encounter, taking a direct hit as if he took a punch from the Ancient Venerable, instantly losing four layers of ’serpent’s exuvia’.

The reason it wasn’t just one layer was that this time’s consumption topped the normal ’death’ cost of four serpent’s exuviae. If not for his substantial life foundation, the Ancient Venerable’s punch would have pierced through all his blood bars, hammering him to death on the spot!!

For giants facing small creatures, it’s basically like this: it’s either difficult to hit, or once they do, they cause heavy injury or death.

The blood beads inside the embedded space quickly consumed, compensating for Zheng Yichen’s expenditure.

He glanced at the hole left on the Ancient Venerable’s arm. After Zheng Yichen extracted a certain bright stream, that part of the Ancient Venerable’s flesh couldn’t hold anymore.

In this way, let’s dismantle one of the Ancient Venerable’s arms first. Although a punch from the Ancient Venerable nearly ignored the blood bars and nearly killed him, this ominous Ancient Venerable lacked intellect, seemingly acting on instinct alone.

This allowed Zheng Yichen more room to maneuver.

No longer daring to recklessly use new abilities, Zheng Yichen returned to the arm of the Ancient Venerable, using Earth Devouring as usual, but this time encountered obvious resistance.

He slightly pursed his lips, as before, without this resistance, he wouldn’t have needed to draw squares on the Ancient Venerable’s arm. After redrawing the squares, Zheng Yichen once again wiped away a chunk of the Ancient Venerable’s skin.

Following the previous method, he approached a new slender stream. These streams were connected to others, so touching one could draw out interconnected parts together.

Distant parts would break.

Growing cautious, it took Zheng Yichen nearly half a day to barely destroy one of the Ancient Venerable’s arms. The usual blood extraction would make him braver the longer the battle, but now it was taking more than it gave.

This made Zheng Yichen feel he hadn’t killed enough Evil Path and Evil Path adherents before; more to kill would have given him more confidence now.

That punch, which nearly killed him, hurt too much.

"Doesn’t seem like there’s any change?" He sensed his physical state, extracting quite a bit of the Ancient Venerable’s real blood, but the feedback to Zheng Yichen wasn’t as strong as the first time.

The subsequent enhancements were only subtle, but the Ancient Venerable’s left arm now showed no flesh, only bones turned ashen. Even so, the arm could still move, making a piercing crunching sound as it did.

Through thermal vision, Zheng Yichen saw there was no heat source response inside the Ancient Venerable’s arm bone, the muscles covering the bones being the main heat sources.

The bones seemed as if at so-called zero degrees.

Boom—

Under the impact of a falling meteorite, part of the Ancient Immortal Mountain’s ground was destroyed.

"?" Zheng Yichen blinked in confusion. Previously, the Ancient Venerable’s phenomenon attack wouldn’t damage the environment, why was it like this now?

"Boss, this might be related to your actions."

Lilith appeared on Zheng Yichen’s shoulder, having been recording battle information, analyzing it, and simulating calculations during Zheng Yichen’s fight.

Facing some of the meteor phenomenon attacks, she even calculated a complete evasion route for Zheng Yichen.

Additionally, the Ancient Venerable’s attack fluctuations became apparent, no longer being environment-noninterfering when the Ancient Venerable’s scant flesh increased.

Furthermore, the Ancient Venerable’s arm bones, initially between earthy yellow and ashen, turned ashen after the complete collapse of arm flesh.

"Is it because... I took away crucial life remnants from the Ancient Venerable?"

Zheng Yichen immediately thought of this reason. The Ancient Venerable was originally dead; after rising ominously, it seemed to retain its original orientation.

Or rather the living part; otherwise, what was with those small, bright streams? If the Ancient Venerable were truly dead, Zheng Yichen’s extraordinary abilities wouldn’t work, only making him uncomfortable.

Yet, being able to benefit through extraordinary abilities meant the Ancient Venerable indeed still had living parts.

Moreover, the power the Ancient Venerable now exerted hadn’t lessened one bit, whether or not its arm had flesh made no difference to its strength. At the current rate, if Zheng Yichen truly wiped out all the Ancient Venerable’s flesh.

Would he then have to face a super skeleton soldier? Just thinking about the strength of the Ancient Venerable’s attacks, what with its meteoric storms flattening the entire Ancient Immortal Mountain shortly after the initial encounter!

Once the Ancient Venerable’s attack fully affected the environment, the Ancient Immortal Mountain would be flattened, and the results are self-evident; the sky’s seal would collapse in an instant, letting the Ancient Venerable free, but that’s irrelevant.

The sky’s collapse implies a successful breakthrough, making the Ancient Venerable being freed insignificant; this world would be doomed, and the Ancient Venerable might either become a threat in the Great World or be caged and researched over there.

Having once again sidestepped the phenomenon attack triggered by the Ancient Venerable’s wave, Zheng Yichen maintained a consistently effective stance against the unmovable Ancient Venerable.

The fishing rod in his hand was once again covered with black matter, with dense demonic thoughts entwined around the weapon, unleashing part of the accumulated Oath Power.

During his attack, Zheng Yichen naturally used a phenomenon attack similar to the Ancient Venerable’s but created phenomenons not being the Ancient Venerable’s star shattering but the super-strong Demonic Abyss Scars unleashed over in the Great World.

With a slash, the intense sound trembled the sky, and the ropes sealing the cracks in the sky shook. The skeletal arm of the Ancient Venerable was severed and fell heavily from the sky.

After landing on the Ancient Immortal Mountain, the originally incredibly hard skeletal arm gradually turned earth-yellow, like mud, and started disintegrating from where the color changed.

Zheng Yichen reached out to grab a fragment and stuffed it into a separately partitioned built-in space, where Lilith immediately used the Virtual World core to disassemble it.

The Virtual World core, which could easily disassemble all kinds of things, now seemed jammed, with a disassembly speed that was abnormally slow.

"BOSS, this is already the limit, we can’t take any more."

"Got it." Zheng Yichen simply gave up on collecting the remaining shattered fragments. Pressing down with the weapon in his hand, those fragments fell into the ground at an even faster speed.

Quickly turning from ash-gray to earth-yellow, they merged into the land of the Ancient Immortal Mountain, soil returning to soil.

The Ancient Venerable, now missing an arm, did not showcase a regeneration ability, and its attacks returned to their previous state. The Alien Phenomenon attack remained powerful, but no longer affected the environment.

"It really can’t be damaged into the bones." Zheng Yichen stared at the other arm of the Ancient Venerable. Without considering anything else, disarming both arms of the Ancient Venerable’s remains was a sure move.

Despite losing an arm, could the Ancient Venerable still maintain such powerful attacks?

— Yes.

With the fall of the second arm, the armless Ancient Venerable remained in a "deadpan" state, unmoved, while the attacks targeting Zheng Yichen did not cease.

Moreover, they appeared even more exaggerated, with the surroundings completely replaced by the phenomenon.

The gigantic stars, carrying an overwhelming pressure that induced a fear of colossal objects, advanced directly towards Zheng Yichen, ready to crush him.

Zheng Yichen charged forward instead of retreating, rushing straight toward the advancing stars. The impact of the stars moving at high speed was sliced apart by the weapon in his hand, and the immense pressure vanished completely the moment he touched the stars.

The phenomena around him shifted, with clouds and winds stirring as if he was still on the stars he had just attacked, except now the star bore traces of life.

The forces of nature propelled Zheng Yichen into an inescapable attack.

When the Ancient Venerable had hands, there was at least an interval in its attacks. Without hands, the Ancient Venerable’s attacks became completely continuous.

Even though Zheng Yichen gained a new trait from the Ancient Venerable’s blood, giving him extra resistance to Alien Phenomenon attacks, when it came to exchanging attacks, Zheng Yichen still couldn’t compare to the Ancient Venerable.

At least he couldn’t cause star-crumbling phenomena attacks at the drop of a hat.

Even though such phenomenon attacks were only localized.

Now without any attack intervals, Zheng Yichen had no opportunity to even get close to the Ancient Venerable.

What caused all of this seemed not only the lack of the Ancient Venerable’s arms but also the further reduction of seals on the Ancient Venerable’s body.

A furious Zheng Yichen realized this point and immediately descended to the ground.

"Your Majesty, this is too risky." Within the Fantasy Great Array Formation, a True Immortal hesitated. Although they were cursed by the Ancient Venerable, they still controlled part of the power of the Ancient Immortal Mountain, allowing adjustments to the seals.

They initially didn’t think much of gradually lifting the seals on the Ancient Venerable, as the initial parts only allowed it to move. However, the latter parts lifted felt somewhat suicidal.

Though Li Changsheng wanted to make a major gamble, this kind of action seemed excessively reckless.

"Seals can be lifted or reapplied. The Proxy Agent has demonstrated the strength to contend with the Ancient Venerable, so more combat should be pursued." Li Changsheng, with sightless eyes, faced the direction of the Ancient Venerable.

Zheng Yichen didn’t sense it, but he certainly felt it—the Ancient Venerable was indeed weakened, losing nearly two-tenths of its power after both arms were severed.

The reason Zheng Yichen didn’t feel any reduction in the Ancient Venerable’s strength was that the Ancient Venerable’s current displayed strength was restricted, far from reaching its full capacity.

But that wasn’t what he wanted. The best outcome should be the Ancient Venerable being stripped of all flesh, with the remains fully exposed on the Ancient Immortal Mountain.

That would be the opportunity to reverse and influence the Ancient Venerable, rather than Zheng Yichen slowly dismembering the Ancient Venerable and letting its remains turn completely into the soil of the Ancient Immortal Mountain.

As for the consumption problem of the Proxy Agent, considering the time, the people he arranged had already mobilized the army and a large population near the Ancient Immortal Mountain.

If Zheng Yichen’s energy couldn’t keep up, then sacrifice those people!

"...." The True Immortals behind Li Changsheng wore complex expressions. At this point, the Holy Emperor seemed overly reckless and irrational, unlike his past self.

The most prudent approach now would be to reinforce the seals and completely resolve the Ancient Venerable’s remains, as a fallback rather than continuing to take reckless risks.

Has the Holy Emperor been affected in spirit by the Ancient Venerable’s Curse?
