Chapter 187: Chapter 158 Wanting Power_1

Did the blood of the Supreme Demon bring a divine sensation?

Before Zheng Yichen could fully appreciate the sensation, he was sent flying by a slash from the Battle Maniac Asura. The rampaging saber Qi pressed against the black spear in front of Zheng Yichen and pushed him far away, like the front of a train, crumbling the black spear in the process. However, the fishing rod, as always, remained rigid and withstood the attack.

Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but marvel that choosing this thing as a weapon had been absolutely correct.

The ability to seal such a ’bomb’ and remain intact despite the distortion caused by its explosion spoke of its high value.

Deflecting the hard-to-disperse saber Qi to one side, the unrelenting Qi flew into the distance, tearing apart the unlucky Aberrant creatures that hadn’t even touched it yet. This one strike cleared a large number of Aberrant creatures.

It was like the finishing blow Zheng Yichen delivered after every day’s battle, except his attacks were meant to exhaust the excessive power he had accumulated—in other words, a waste, while the Battle Maniac Asura’s strike was a full exercise of his own power.

Only now did he have the opportunity to really feel the direct feedback from the blood of the Battle Maniac Asura. The blood of that transformed creature was good but not up to the level of Supreme Demon Blood. What he had now was different—genuine Supreme Demon Blood.

In a very short time, Zheng Yichen felt an improvement in his body. Although it was subtle, the upgrade did not simply enhance his physical fitness or strength; it was more straightforward... an optimization of his constitution.

Simply put, after this tiny bit of feedback, he too could exceed the human race in terms of Performance Coefficient for personal attributes, similar to those giant dragons. The increase wouldn’t be as exaggerated as with the dragons, but he had achieved an additional, modest boost. Was this the power of the Supreme Demon?

No, it should be said to be a characteristic of the Supreme Demon. Until now, Zheng Yichen had killed numerous Extraordinary creatures without ever gaining any special powers—only maybe certain abilities or characteristics. This directly perceptible power had never been there.

To gain something of the sort, he had to train it himself. For instance, the Inner Strength technique that he began to get a feel for after several days of practice, and that thing called Magic Power, which originated from basic Fire type magic, was pathetically limited.

The characteristic of the Supreme Demon...

"Hm?" When he clashed with Zheng Yichen again, Battle Maniac Asura sharply detected a slight change. Skilled in many martial arts, Asura had an extremely precise grasp of power, and Zheng Yichen’s attacks were performing slightly better than before. The enhancement was minimal, but the output had indeed increased.

A breakthrough in the midst of battle? That was not right. Such breakthroughs usually brought significant enhancements. He had encountered martial arts geniuses who made breakthroughs when fighting him, transforming from someone he could toy with into someone who could match him blow for blow, even causing him injury.

Zheng Yichen’s growth was rapid.

And his weapon—a fishing rod, though bizarre, was far stronger than the black spear in his hand. Battle Maniac Asura had been slightly careless just now, allowing Zheng Yichen to injure him, a trivial wound, of course. But this was the first time he encountered a human with no significant martial arts realm who, by his sheer strength, managed to injure him.

This slight change improved Zheng Yichen’s performance in the subsequent battles.

"This is really terrifying, to fight against a native Supreme Demon like this," Lu Jingming muttered as he watched the battle on Zheng Yichen’s side, his eyes twitching slightly. Proxy Agents, one after another, truly were no ordinary beings. The actual body of the Battle Maniac Asura had arrived, and yet he was still going toe-to-toe with his opponent.

"Battle Maniac Asura is giving him a chance," Ming Yue said, having been observing Zheng Yichen intently the whole time. The power Zheng Yichen gained from dealing with a large number of Aberrant creatures brought him to his current level. Without that opportunity given by Battle Maniac Asura, Zheng Yichen’s displayed strength would have been greatly diminished.

Considering this, she thought if the Boundary Breakers could unite, it might not be impossible to deal with the Proxy Agent. As long as they exploited the opponent’s weaknesses, that would suffice. Of course, if they mishandled it, they might just give the Proxy Agent an extra rampage BUFF.

"So you mean to say Battle Maniac Asura has a chance to win? If so... our opportunity has arrived." Lu Jingming prepared to do something. The aftermath of the battle involving Zheng Yichen was enormous; any Aberrant creature that came close was shaken to death, while Qi Xiangyun and the others maintained a relatively safe distance from Zheng Yichen’s fight.

As long as they were affected even a little, Zheng Yichen’s attention would surely be divided because of the battle on his side.

Just as he was about to act, two figures blocked his way: "Our lord has a message for you!"

"Damn it—" Lu Jingming cursed under his breath. He knew those Supreme Demons would interfere; their goals were not unified. What he wanted was for the Proxy Agent to die immediately, thoroughly. The Supreme Demons planned to let Battle Maniac Asura and the Proxy Agent both suffer heavy losses.

Their behavior interfered with the calculations of the Supreme Demons.

On Zheng Yichen’s side, he fought and retreated against Battle Maniac Asura, gradually drawing closer to the Demon Flower. His goal wasn’t to deal with the Supreme Demon of this world; the Demon Flower was always the top priority. He even considered negotiating with Battle Maniac Asura, asking for a chance to let him take down the Demon Flower before having a proper fight.

But the Battle Maniac Asura also realized what Zheng Yichen was thinking. Stabbing the giant sword into the ground, the earth cracked open, spewing out fierce flames. Enveloped in this fiery environment, Zheng Yichen could distinctly feel the air becoming hot and breathing getting difficult.

This was even with him maintaining Burst Mode, possessing Iron Lungs, and having fire resistance from the fire dragon. Is this really martial arts?

Why not just call it a Spell?

The fierce flames spurting from the ground obscured everyone’s vision. Qi Xiangyun looked at the area covered in flames with a worried expression, unable to help but glance at the Demon Flower’s location, touching the Amulet on her body. Before leaving, Zheng Yichen had taken out all the Amulets and given them to them.

With these Amulets, even if the whirlwind circle around them broke, they would still be safe for a while.

"Brother Chang Qing won’t be in danger, will he?" Lin Yaoyao looked at the place shrouded by flames, anxiously saying, "And that wasn’t really martial arts anymore, was it..."

"How is it not?" Liu Hongzhao said with a stern face. Using the blood from Zheng Yichen to cultivate, along with some hints and guidance from the phantom Snake God, she had acquired devouring and wind traits. As for other traits, she found she could no longer obtain them,

otherwise, she would have liked to acquire water as well.

Then, with the power of water, she would try to further improve her martial arts, making them more suitable for her needs, such as using water to additionally neutralize and purify the foreign blood Qi. Even if she could not completely purify the remnants of Blood Combustion Transform to Origin driven by foreign blood Qi, she could contain it to some extent and expel it afterward.

But she failed, which reminded her again of what the Snake God phantom had said. She didn’t have the qualities of a Supreme Demon like Zheng Yichen, what he could do, she could not. Zheng Yichen’s blood could carry a multitude of traits; she simply couldn’t.

Even if she only had the wind trait, she could still sense some potential and get some additional inspiration from it. Coupling this trait with martial arts, she could amplify her attacks further. This was not a Spell but an attack released by using a power trait as the core along with martial arts.

These were all plans for the future. The flames initiated by the Battle Maniac Asura showed her the viability of her ideas.

Before long, the flames died down, and two figures separated from their intense melee. Zheng Yichen was holding a stripped fishing rod in one hand and a heavy giant sword in the other, his battle suit was slashed with many cuts and singed marks.

The Battle Maniac Asura had a bloody hole in one arm, and it seemed on the surface that Zheng Yichen was in a worse state. No blood flowed from the hole in the Asura’s arm, whereas the wounds on Zheng Yichen were constantly emitting blood mist, preventing his wounds from healing and speeding up the evaporation of his blood.

This effect was from a technique within the Blood Asura martial arts. Once injured, the wounds would suffer an ’aggravation’ status. Zheng Yichen had not learned it mainly because it required the core inner strength of the Blood Asura to be activated.

Zheng Yichen glanced at the weapons in his hands and tossed the giant sword aside. He had acquired traits from the Asura Demon and could wield weapons without hindrance, but he rarely used swords. Having one more weapon to use did not significantly enhance his combat strength.

The discarded weapon flew far, landing on the ground hundreds of meters away from Qi Xiangyun’s position.

"We need to get that weapon." Liu Hongzhao’s eyes were shining as she looked at the giant sword planted in the ground, almost as tall as they were: "That’s a weapon of the Supreme Demon, with it even if we’re surrounded by Aberrant creatures, we’ll be better equipped to handle them."

"I understand." Qi Xiangyun twisted the throttle of the motorcycle, quickly closing in on the weapon. Near it, the Aberrant creatures would not dare approach, as the weapon, once wielded by the Battle Maniac Asura, had a strong evil aura that instinctively repelled them.

"It feels so oppressive..." Lin Yaoyao said, looking at the sword, feeling suffocated in her chest.

Liu Hongzhao, on the other hand, couldn’t wait to grab the giant sword. The moment she touched the hilt, her sleeve disintegrated, revealing her slender, white arm.

"You’re being reckless—"

The evil aura on the giant sword surged, temporarily dispersing the phantom around Liu Hongzhao. Enduring the pain in her arm, she breathed a sigh of relief. That phantom taught her a lot and gave her some ambitions, but its constant presence never made her feel at ease.

"You, no, we can’t control this sword, using it forcefully will rebound on us." Qi Xiangyun looked at Liu Hongzhao’s determined face and said hesitantly. In the mortal realms, there are Divine weapons, but this was a weapon used by a Supreme Demon, fundamentally different from mortal weapons.

"I only want to gain stronger powers, to no longer be the burden who can’t decide anything—"
