Chapter 1309: Chapter 934 The Picked-Up Core_2

In this tug-of-war, the outside environment lost, allowing Zheng Yichen to breathe normally. Even without oxygen, he could maintain his bodily functions and didn’t feel suffocated.

But he was certain that he was in a state where he could survive without oxygen. Breathing was purely a bodily function brought about by the Life Furnace.

He even felt the need to digest while breathing. Taking a deep breath could last him for a long time. Coughing was the result of him unable to fully ’digest’ the inhaled air, requiring rapid expulsion.

"So what is this air? Chaos energy from a novel?" Zheng Yichen suppressed the discomfort in his body, not feeling any enhancement upon breathing, except that the Life Force generated with each breath was stronger.

But now, his physical state was already exhausted, and the Life Force generated from breathing couldn’t immediately restore him.

This unique breathing only allowed him to get better in the Outer Realm environment, rather than providing a stronger boost. His body’s feedback indicated that in the Outer Realm, he didn’t need any nutrients, and could survive by just eating and drinking water.

However, in such an environment, if thrown away, it would be similar to an ultimate creature being tossed into space.

Death wouldn’t occur, but there would be nothing to cling to. Seek Dusk?

He could see the Dusk milestones, but these milestones were also extremely chaotic, numerous beams of light densely swirling. What was originally a very effective marker had now become a super neon light interfering with his vision.

Unable to bear it, Zheng Yichen immediately retreated into the world through a crack nearby. The cold, lifeless state he was in also disappeared along with it.

He took a look around. The World Tree that manifested didn’t display its lush state, resembling a tree on the brink of winter, pitifully bare, and the Fantasy Great Array Formation manifested Devouring Sky Pillar was more than half collapsed.

The sounds unheard in the Outer Realm were piercingly loud inside the world, with continuous cracking noises.

The remaining chains could barely suppress a few larger cracks, but the smaller cracks couldn’t be affected.

Zheng Yichen took a deep breath, yet not much Life Force was generated. The surrounding environment became depleted under his counterattack.

Even with the supplement from two worlds, it couldn’t recover in a short time here.

"Lilith, what is the status of the Fantasy Great Array Formation?"

"Damage rate exceeds 40%, expected to be repaired in twenty seconds. The environment is filled with a disruptive energy that will affect the operation of the Fantasy Great Array Formation. The World Barrier is expected to reach the collapse threshold within a minute.

Your current physical state is very poor. You need to rest, and it is advised to abandon this mission by using the reserved chance. The failure probability of forcibly Sky Mending is also very high."

Zheng Yichen didn’t speak. He just reached into the internal space, consuming all the pre-stored Blood God Seeds to replenish the spent Essence of Life. Yet, after all reserves were depleted, his state still hadn’t recovered.

It wasn’t the damage from the impact of arrival, but the cost of using Oblivion.

"Why is it all bad news?"

"..." Not persuading Zheng Yichen, Lilith pulled up a video: "The good news is that Tanshia Firlo found the Boundary Breaking core amidst the previous impact."

"Hmm? That’s good." Zheng Yichen sped up his hand movements. In the phenomenon, he transformed into a giant trying to dispel the disruptive environmental energy, but this energy, similar to Heavenly Punishment, could only be gathered by Zheng Yichen.

Normal energy couldn’t eliminate that Heavenly Punishment-like force, but Zheng Yichen made a better choice, throwing it into the Outer Realm at the cost of consuming an arm.

The energy thrown out to the Outer Realm disappeared instantly.

Zheng Yichen looked at the slowly growing phone and exhaled. Even the Ancient Venerable’s physique couldn’t help him adapt to Oblivion. The residue from this use made Zheng Yichen uneasy.

His self-practiced Oblivion had strengthened, tending towards the enhancement in the Oblivion impression, which hadn’t occurred before. To strengthen his practiced Oblivion, the best way was to simulate the collision of Life Creation and Oblivion in the Virtual World.

And the Genesis Power learned through simulation showed no change.

According to the previously mastered Oblivion, its side effects could be cushioned by Life Creation in terms of side effects. But after Oblivion strengthened, the cushioning effect became less obvious.

I’ll ask the omnipotent Tia later, Zheng Yichen lightly flicked Lilith’s forehead: "You’re not being good."

Lilith explained, "No, it’s your rapid changes as the boss that caused my update speed to not keep up, leading to calculation errors. This is my fault. When do you plan to punish me?"

She did not account for Zheng Yichen’s ability to easily clear the environmental interference energy. As for the cost of an arm, that could be disregarded.

If the environmental interference energy wasn’t cleared, even if the Fantasy Great Array Formation was repaired, it couldn’t generate a normal Devouring Sky Pillar later. Furthermore, over time, the manifested World Tree would disappear with the collapse of the Divine Domain.

At that time, all the pressure on Zheng Yichen would have to be borne by him, in addition to lacking enough strength to sustain him, causing Zheng Yichen to be drained.

That would be death, and abandoning the mission would only lose one preserved chance at Dusk, a failure as well, but the latter would be more comfortable for Zheng Yichen.

Yet, Zheng Yichen directly cleared the environmental unfavorable factors, even using the World Barrier crack to throw it into the Outer Realm without much consumption, swiftly and efficiently.

Afterward, if Lilith recalculates, Zheng Yichen wanting to re-Sky Mending won’t be hard, and it would only consume time going forward.

"This isn’t something that requires punishment. How is Tanshia Firlo’s situation?" Compared to the small white dragon finding the Boundary Breaking core, Zheng Yichen was more concerned about the small white dragon’s condition.

"Injured, but within acceptable range." Lilith looked at the newly created Devouring Sky Pillar and the woven chains brought about by Zheng Yichen, pulling up a new projection screen.

It displayed Tanshia Firlo’s state. She had already transformed into her dragon form, with undried Blood Beads hanging from her scales, and her body surface bore fine crack lines.

In her crimson eyes, there was a phantom of a giant tree.

This small white dragon, upon seeing a light screen pop up in front of her, wiped away her painful expression, replaced by a spirited look: "Fosterer, I caught something good!"

Speaking, the small white dragon, as if showing off, raised a meter-large ’Taijitu’, black and white, with visibly distorted fog at its edges, but it had no effect on the small white dragon.

The agitated ’Taijitu’ was firmly held in her grip, yet Zhong Yan stood at a distance from the ’Taijitu’, appearing wary of the distorted air fog at its edges.

The small white dragon’s state was bad, and Zhong Yan’s wasn’t much better. Her complexion was pale, clothes covered in dense tear marks, no wounds visible, but her weak, wind-blown appearance was perceivable through the screen.

"Well done, hold onto that thing first. I’ll come to you later," Zheng Yichen nodded, wanting to go over immediately, but the Sky Mending still needed to continue.

The environmental depletion at the junction was severe, yet the World Origin could still be extracted. Environmental depletion was akin to certain small parts of the body’s surface necrosing. Extracting the World Origin meant directly drawing from the bone marrow and heart, unaffected by surface necrosis.

The frequency of the dense cracking sounds decreased. After several hours, the continuous noise began to thin out.

An intense fatigue urged Zheng Yichen to lie down and sleep, but he worried about mission failure if he rested now.

With reserved chances as a backup, he didn’t want to lose that safety net due to a moment’s laxity.

Up to now, the Dusk mission still wasn’t completed!
