Chapter 282: Chapter 236 Press Him Down_1

```

"He must die!" said the blonde man seriously as he looked at the information relayed back by the surveillance drone. It was normally impossible to shake the Sky Pillar in that world, yet Zheng Yichen had somehow managed to attack the Sky Pillar directly and damage it.

If it were any other formidable power, he wouldn’t have given it much thought and would simply withdraw; after all, no substantial loss would have occurred. Even in the worst-case scenario, they would have broken even; at most, it would have affected their profit margins.

But the biggest problem was that the power used in Zheng Yichen’s attack had the same origin as the Sky Pillar’s.

They didn’t know how Zheng Yichen had accomplished all of this, but they were clear on the substantial threat he could pose to them; after all, he was a Proxy Agent.

Aren’t Proxy Agents precisely the kind that Dusk exploits to exhaustion? That meant that in future operations of this kind, Dusk would keep assigning Zheng Yichen, and he would become a regular thorn in their side.

Looking at the black spear in Zheng Yichen’s hand and its shimmering light, the surveillance drone analyzed the power’s essence and confirmed it originated from the energy of the Sky Pillar.

The area beneath the Sky Pillar had been blasted with very visible cracks by Zheng Yichen, which had affected their side as well, primarily by blocking the passage.

The efficiency of their extraction had significantly decreased.

"Report this matter immediately, or this Proxy Agent will become one of our most troublesome adversaries in the future."

The blonde man’s assistant quickly finished the report, and they received a prompt response; soon, adequate reinforcements would arrive to assist them.

Seeing this, the blonde man let out a sigh of relief. It was good that the higher-ups were paying close attention to this matter. He looked toward other areas, realizing that the Sky Pillar wasn’t unique to this place; far in the distance, he could see other beams of light piercing through the skies.

They were neither Boundary Breakers nor part of the Equilibrium Faction but represented another kind of growing power.

Among the three forces, they were the latest to start, but some things don’t depend on an early start. The Boundary Breaking Faction was concerned with absorbing other worlds, while the Equilibrium Faction aimed to break down the ’barriers’ between all worlds and unify them, eradicating any fluctuations.

In that scenario, the top powerhouses would always remain at the top without the risk of being eliminated due to Environmental Adjustment.

Instead, they had chosen a more straightforward approach of ’plundering.’ Each of them had their own thoughts and plans, their aspirations were different, so naturally, there was no question of joining forces. In fact, there was significant conflict between them.

Whenever they encountered each other, it was with the intent to kill.

Their development model was similar to that of the Boundary Breaking Faction of The Great World, but entirely different in practice. The Great World was focused on absorption, taking everything into its fold, hence the main world of the Boundary Breaking Faction is known as The Great World.

They, on the other hand, aimed for a higher standard and quality, not simply to expand while improving standard and quality, because an expansion means slower and harder advancement in terms of standard and quality.

Under the existing framework, improving quality and standard was much easier. As long as they had enough world resources to continuously upgrade their world, that was sufficient. Any surplus ’material’ was simply discarded.

The Great World might have a large volume, like a ton of steel, but they aimed to become like a hundred grams of gold. If the quality and standard of their world reached a level beyond the limit, then wouldn’t the top powerhouses that emerged in such an environment be able to ignore the constraints of Environmental Adjustment?

After all, once you transcend the nonexistent limit, breaking the rules of limitations, can the original rules still apply?

A few minutes later, a streak of light descended beside the blonde man. In their world, normal transportation was meant for ordinary people.

Below the Sky Pillar, Zheng Yichen looked at the inactive surveillance drones protected by a layer of light film, impervious to other attacks. He had held back when attacking the Sky Pillar, mainly because he was wary of someone coming after him.

Otherwise, at the current rate, he would break the Sky Pillar in no more than four days.

If no one interfered, he felt this mission might be the easiest one, right? Apart from getting contaminated with some nuclear radiation, there would be no other trouble.

With that in mind, a column of light bombarded from the sky, and feeling the pressure, Zheng Yichen swiftly dodged. After receiving the energy from the Sky Pillar, he felt the environmental constraints had weakened, primarily because the energy from the Sky Pillar seemed to be additional energy.

But this weakening didn’t mean it had disappeared. After all, his body had a limited capacity to endure, and exceeding the upper threshold could either cause him to explode or turn into a massive crystal.

The impact caused by the light column hitting the ground rapidly spread, sweeping away the soil and revealing an interconnected network of illuminated strands below the surface, resembling plant roots.

The energy attack had a weak effect on those strands.

```

Zheng Yichen then looked in the direction from which the attack came; the attack had originated from within the dense clouds. A pillar of light had pierced through the cloud layer, leaving a huge void. Through that void, Zheng Yichen saw something akin to an otherworldly phenomenon.

"Sure enough, nothing is unrelated to the phenomenon," Zheng Yichen said, spinning the black spear in his hand, which was covered with intense light. The fierce winds swirling around the spear made the thrown weapon even swifter, directly blasting into that cavity.

In another world connected to the Sky Pillar, a man raised his hand to catch the oncoming black spear. Hovering midair, he retreated a distance backward, looking through the clouds at Zheng Yichen with a grave expression.

He could now thoroughly confirm that Zheng Yichen had indeed utilized the Sky Pillar’s energy, but the method was completely different from theirs. The power of the Sky Pillar wasn’t so easy to wield; mishandle it and you might become part of the Sky Pillar.

"I’ll go over," he said.

"Lord Moss, wouldn’t that be too risky?" said the blond man with some hesitation.

He had seen the powerful fighter who came to solve the problem repelled by Zheng Yichen’s attack.

The environmental level of their world was very high, and even if the attack from the other side had been affected by Environmental Adjustment, this exchange seemed to have put them at a disadvantage.

"Mobilize all the armed forces nearby and crush him!" Moss said coldly, having deliberately taken that last strike.

The power of the blow was significant, and even though he had employed some techniques associated with the Sky Pillar, it had still forced him back. This meant that Zheng Yichen’s use of the Sky Pillar’s energy was far from strained; not only was the utilization rate high, but he also didn’t need to establish any connection with the Sky Pillar.

What was the point of keeping such a Proxy Agent alive?

He wouldn’t even bother to go over and talk more with Zheng Yichen; arranging enough forces to crush him would suffice. So, Zheng Yichen felt like cursing on his end.

When Moss appeared, he had thought of fighting the boss, but as more combatants appeared, Zheng Yichen started to feel that something was amiss: these people had no sense of fair play, planning a group assault.

And they were different from the Boundary Breakers, who were directly placed into a world and then had difficulty receiving any support thereafter. It seemed they were directly connected to the main base that was siphoning energy from this world, where they could air-drop a whole bunch of people into battle.

Did this mean they could bring in an army at any time?

"Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?" Zheng Yichen said as he looked at the people who had appeared, the corner of his lips twitching with irritation. He could fight ten or twenty people, but they’d sent over a hundred, and they even brought combat units like puppets and robots.

They slid down through the light membrane hanging from the Sky Pillar.

Fortunately, their numbers didn’t increase further, seemingly due to the need to pass through the phenomenon.

Still, the sheer number of people overwhelmed Zheng Yichen, especially since the person who had attacked him earlier came through the light membrane and now had concentric ripples around him, from which beams of light were fired.

Zheng Yichen swung his black spear, sending several Wind Blades straight at those beams of light, but the Wind Blades shattered upon impact, utterly outclassed in strength by the beams of light. Seeing this, Zheng Yichen gave up using Elements manipulation altogether.

He knew he was up against a true formidable opponent. In the current environment, the energy attacks launched by the opponent were still powerfully substantial, and not something he could counter head-on with the special abilities gained from blood absorption.

The fire dragon had also told Zheng Yichen that ordinary spellcasters didn’t consider much when releasing magic; as long as the spell was cast, that was all that mattered. However, skilled spellcasters had a further, more refined control over their spells, adjusting the structure of their magic during casting. With the same consumption and the same spell, they could alter the magic’s structure to achieve a more effective result.

In simple terms, it’s like using the same piece of iron to hit someone. Ordinary spellcasters just aim to throw accurately and with enough force to strike the target. Skilled spellcasters, besides being precise, can alter the iron’s shape, transforming a lump of metal into darts, arrows, or other shapes with blades and points for greater lethality and advantage in terms of speed and air resistance.

Currently, Zheng Yichen was at the stage of simply hurling an iron block. His advantage was that, compared to average spellcasters, he threw with greater accuracy and more brute strength. However, he lacked the finesse that skilled spellcasters possessed, as he didn’t have the foundation.

Of course, if Zheng Yichen were more formidable, he could overcome spells with sheer force, but such an approach would be costly. He couldn’t afford to expend several times more energy just to counter a single attack, could he?

It would be better to fight in a way that suited him best.

A pale-red aura spread from his body, and Zheng Yichen shattered an incoming beam of light with a punch. Without considering the external special powers, he was quite confident in his Burst Mode, which was directly related to his physical abilities.

Moreover, thanks to beings like the Supreme Demon, his body’s Performance Coefficient had been further enhanced. In the current environment, breaking such attacks was not difficult at all!
