Chapter 173: Chapter 150 Attempt_3

Once this world really merges with another Great World, there’s no telling what could happen. Those Supreme Demons now seem content watching the spectacle, some even planning to steer things along, intensifying the conflict between Zheng Yichen and the Battle Maniac Asura. Yet, as of now, there’s been no news whatsoever.

He wanted to make a move himself, but having tested Zheng Yichen, the Battle Maniac Asura discovered some of his strength. It would be foolish to act rashly. The best course of action would be to wait until the Dusk mercenaries gradually withdraw and their own forces gather before beating him down in a group.

Otherwise, if they dare to rally their forces, those Dusk mercenaries would just as boldly combine their might to eliminate those Alien Phenomenon creatures.

The strength of the Dusk mercenaries is truly not weak, and they have several enviable items in their possession that even their Boundary Breaking Faction covets. It’s just that the Dusk mercenaries won’t trade with them, they cannot deceive Dusk.

As for why the big shots on their side don’t come over, the reason is simple. For big shots to come to a world of this level is risky, and they too would have their strength capped at the Supreme Demon level due to Environmental Adjustment. They can only appear more formidable because of other underlying strengths.

But still, being formidable is within this level. If a really tough Proxy Agent were to come here, such an agent might just carry off their big shots from their side. This has happened before; Dusk always sets up some unexpected tough characters that catch them off guard.

Once or twice might be considered bad luck, but when it happens frequently, those big shots hesitate to enter the fray lightly. Even a one in ten chance of failing is too high for them, as they can keep entering the fray, but if they fail even once, there’s no afterward.

Of course, it’s different in higher-level worlds where even the big shots above them might not be able to reach the pinnacle of the world. The higher the level of the world, the more and greater the differences between levels, and sometimes even a slight gap in stages can seem as vast as heaven and earth.

Honestly, if those Supreme Demons had been willing to cooperate from the start and manifested in the flesh, then perhaps they could’ve teamed up to thrash him. Even a Proxy Agent would be doomed here, right?

But those Supreme Demons simply aren’t willing to do so!

They’re too proud! Well, another part of the reason is that the Supreme Demons don’t fully trust them.

"Huff – I can give it a try now."

Zheng Yichen looked towards the area where the Demon Flower was located, took a gentle breath, took out his bait, sprinkled some powder, and soon, a continuous roar echoed from afar.

"You all stay here and don’t wander off." Zheng Yichen swung his fishing rod, covered in a black substance, and charged towards the Aberrant creatures lured by the bait. He didn’t scatter the bait on the ground but instead applied a portion directly onto his hands – he himself was the bait.

Watching Zheng Yichen face those Aberrant creatures, the three girls replaced by the Alien Phenomena around him had varied expressions.

Lin Yaoyao put the empty cup in front of her aside and was eager to go over and help. Qi Xiangyun was pondering over some matters. Could Zheng Yichen’s training in Blood Sacrifice and Blood Combustion Transform to Origin really bring no harm?

Liu Hongzhao quietly glanced at a phantom beside her, visible only to her, the same well-endowed woman who had appeared in her dreams before. After Zheng Yichen gave her the new Amulet, the other party could no longer interfere with her dreams, but she lingered beside her in this form, seemingly tempting her. Yet some things the woman said made sense.

Although she tried to ignore the luring content, she was concerned about the parts concerning martial arts. The blood Zheng Yichen used for their training held other powers. She hadn’t felt it before, but under the guidance of this woman’s phantom, she gradually began to sense it.

Even as she told herself not to listen, the whispers continued...

Wind, fire, water, earth, lightning – these powers that could summon winds and invoke rains were quite comprehensive. In detailed perception, some were strong, some weak. Apart from these forces, she sensed another power, an absorptive one.

Different from the core Cultivation Technique of the Blood Asura that directly absorbed others’ powers as its own, this was probably why those monsters killed by Zheng Yichen turned dry as bone. What puzzled her, though, was that this power felt less intense than that of the Elements power.

In the characteristics she perceived, it was rather weak.

But the potential of this power was undeniable; if she could master it and subsequently refine it through the core cultivation technique of Blood Asura, her efficiency in martial arts training would greatly increase.

This would enable her to become stronger more quickly, a point made with reason by the phantom accompanying Liu Hongzhao.

Zheng Yichen, with his black spear stirring, killed all aberrant creatures that approached. The howling wind gathered their spilled blood into one place, which another long spear in Zheng Yichen’s hand rapidly absorbed, intercepting the feedback that should have transferred to him.

He had already tried it; as long as his body was in a fully replenished state, the priority of this feedback was not high. However, the moment there was the slightest deficiency, the priority of the feedback would become the highest.

Blood Combustion Transform to Origin was an auxiliary ability of Blood Asura, which could be used in conjunction with Blood Sacrifice, and the burst was even greater. The feedback from the blood absorbed by the black spear was intercepted by Zheng Yichen to try and replace the consumption of Blood Combustion Transform to Origin. Although some of it was wasted, another portion was further transformed.

While this still consumed his own blood, the amount consumed was like a concentrated solution, where a single drop diluted with water could replace a large amount of normal blood consumption.

The transformed portion of power was held down on the step of Blood Sacrifice. Zheng Yichen did not enhance it in the supply and instead firmly suppressed it, causing a faint layer of blood light to shroud the black spear he used as his primary weapon. As the battle progressed, the blood light grew richer.

Passively, his attacks became more ferocious. Initially, aberrant creatures hit by the black spear would only be bisected at the waist, but now those hit by the spear exploded on the spot.

The burst of blood mist was again swept away by the wild wind, drawn into the loop maintained by Zheng Yichen.

The black spear in his hand turned from pale red to a blood-dripping crimson, and his right hand, holding the spear, trembled slightly; he was beginning to struggle with the growing intensity of the accumulated Blood Sacrifice Burst.

Indeed, things weren’t as smooth as he thought. Through such a cyclical method, he accumulated a massive amount of power and then unleashed an extreme burst.

Ideas are beautiful, but reality is just so. When he could no longer hold down the accumulated power of the Blood Sacrifice Burst, it wasn’t about harming others; the instability of the accumulated power alone was enough to overwhelm him.

Then... it was time to try a different method.

Zheng Yichen had thought about using Burst Mode to temporarily enhance his power and strengthen the suppression of the Blood Sacrifice Burst.

But while in that state, he would be unable to use his Wind type powers to gather the blood.

The method he used was to not release the Blood Sacrifice stage just yet, but rather to maintain the state of Blood Combustion Transform to Origin. Since the intercepted feedback could replace the consumption of Blood Combustion Transform to Origin, he could also try not to enhance his own power but instead to control and suppress it.

Even if he couldn’t suppress it all, as long as he could hold down some and keep it, with enough accumulated, he could pour it all into the Blood Trace Burst at once. Then at the moment when the Blood Trace Burst was about to go out of control, he would break through the limit of the burst and turn all the life source consumed by the Blood Sacrifice Burst on the weapon into Hellfire.

"What is he doing? Has practicing martial arts led to demonization?" a Boundary Breaker wondered as he observed Zheng Yichen’s skin gradually turning red. Because of the distance, the mirror could not capture more detailed changes in Zheng Yichen’s aura, which made him anxious. Simply watching the screen did not strongly convey some things.

He tried another method to capture some of Zheng Yichen’s aura. With a crack, his expression froze; the mirror, which he had barely repaired, cracked once more, and faint traces of a bloody scent seeped from the fractures.

"My mirror!!"
