Chapter 1290: Chapter 924 That’s Too Bad

"We are now very close to the Great World, meaning it’s easy to stir trouble from there." Zheng Yichen took a breath. He had killed his way back from the Great World once; another attempt might yield better results, but could also end up worse.

After all, last time the Great World didn’t know much about him, and he didn’t know much about the Great World either.

This time around, the Great World would likely employ many targeted strategies against him.

"That’s right, and those God Descenders have already lifted the Descent of God Technique, leaving helpless Boundary Breakers, which is very likely suggested by the Boundary Breaking Organization."

"Alright, just unsure of what method they will use." Zheng Yichen sighed, feeling the power draining away from him, as he thought of a new approach: "Even though it feels somewhat rebellious, as long as Dusk doesn’t mind, then it doesn’t matter."

Zheng Yichen took out the World Origin Crystal, which he had treasured for a long time. This kind of thing couldn’t be stored before, but after a very stable built-in space was established, it could be preserved for extended periods—not permanently, but storing it for a year or several years posed no issue.

"Using this as a catalyst, today I’m going to imitate the Devourers once, Fantasy Great Array Formation, rise!"

Sitting on Zheng Yichen’s shoulder, Lilith immediately changed from black attire to red attire; the vast Fantasy Great Array Formation unfolded, and the Devouring Sky Pillar manifested, which seemed like a strand of hair compared to the World Tree.

But its destructive power was high; Zheng Yichen was unfamiliar with the Devouring Sky Pillar, so at this moment he could only use the Fantasy Great Array Formation intensely to create a substitute.

No need to specify how effective the Devouring Sky Pillar is, as long as it’s somewhat useful, that’s enough. To ensure even a little utility, Zheng Yichen used the World Origin Crystal.

This thing made the Devouring Sky Pillar’s transformation from illusion to reality a bit more genuine.

Once Zheng Yichen brought it out, the Devouring Sky Pillar quickly pierced the ground, and a dense mass of projection screens appeared before him.

This was a vast amount of information Lilith had gathered; Zheng Yichen used the Fantasy Great Array Formation as a manifestation tool while Lilith used it as a simulation tool.

To simulate the things not yet encountered; although this method couldn’t obtain core information, getting a portion was still a gain.

"Boss, the Devouring Sky Pillar is merely a conduit, it also needs a ’pump’."

"Use the World Tree." Zheng Yichen said very straightforwardly, most of the information in those projection screens eluded him, but what was before him was clear.

Which is more powerful between the World Tree and the Devouring Sky Pillar? When the opportunity arises, one will know.

Whether the World Tree can replace the Devouring Sky Pillar depends on how it is used. It might not have been possible before, but now... maybe.

However, this matter was clearly something Zheng Yichen couldn’t do directly; he was an important employee of Dusk’s side, and doing such a thing would be akin to self-destruction.

At the moment, he couldn’t fry the boss’s squid.

"Link completed... try starting."

"Let’s begin, I can’t wait."

Lilith nodded gently, and the Devouring Sky Pillar manifested by the Fantasy Great Array Formation began to operate.

While this pillar is relatively unimportant, just like she just said, it needs a pump, the pillar part is mainly for directly striking the yellow dragon, connecting to the ’origin’ part of the world itself.

A mere connection isn’t enough; missing a strong pump means it can’t draw effectively.

This was the information she deduced using the Fantasy Great Array Formation as a simulation tool.

Of course, the most vital part was Zheng Yichen’s reserve of World Origin Crystal; without such a thing, the manifested Devouring Sky Pillar would truly be just ornamental.

By adding that thing, this pipe becomes slightly more practical.

However, actually trying to draw away the entire world’s origin like a Devouring Sky Pillar is unrealistic.

According to Lilith’s analysis, the Devouring Faction uses the world itself as the pump.

While Zheng Yichen possesses the World Tree, in terms of scale, it cannot compare to the world itself.

Zheng Yichen didn’t intend to try and drain the entire world; this act was purely for some convenience of power acquisition. He could employ the Earth Devourers, but the mastery methods always need updating, right?

Even though a single skillful move might suffice, it might not be enough against the Great World. Being prepared is better than not, trying a new method, using it when the chance arises, and abandoning it if it doesn’t—either way, no loss.

A wisp of World Origin Force was extracted, but its manifestation wasn’t in crystalline form; mist-like power quality, in terms of material, compared with the World Origin Crystal in Zheng Yichen’s hand, showed significant disparity.

Fortunately, the quantity was abundant.

"...Does what I’m doing count as forcefully linking to the root?" Zheng Yichen shook his head; maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t, after all, the settings were different, but regardless, what he was doing was indeed directly touching the world origin.

Extracting power that shouldn’t normally surface inside the world for utilization, under the illusionary Devouring Sky Pillar’s link, Zheng Yichen genuinely felt how his initial approach was simply... courting death.

No wonder the World Origin Crystal was difficult to utilize; World Origin Force is equivalent to the entire world’s source, the genesis, and crystallization merely contacts this genesis. When body and soul can’t withstand this quality, it results in being dragged into the nature of the world origin.
