Chapter 592: Chapter 449 There is always a guarantee_1

Zheng Yichen intended to use this abnormal Evil Spirit as a prop for a lottery draw. However, he didn’t plan to wait for it to reach its complete form. While the entity was still ’weak’ from absorbing other Evil Spirits and Mental Aberration creatures, he was determined to kill it!

Once the Evil Spirit attained its complete form, the kind of special existence state that appeared made it harder for him to fight.

Spatial distortion could bypass the special protection innate to the entity, damaging the Evil Spirit, but such an attack didn’t hit the Evil Spirit squarely.

The battle saber shrouded in blood radiance could pierce armor, and every strike was laced with Light type power. The Blood Asura inner force and the Light type power Zheng Yichen mastered did not clash. This wasn’t sacred Light, the forces could interact and amplify each other’s effects. As for conflicts that might arise from mixing similar powers?

Tch, as long as there was no conflict of properties, each could perform its own function when attacking. Including Light type power in the attack didn’t prevent him from unleashing the full burst of the Blood Asura’s inner force. Furthermore, it didn’t interfere with creating corresponding spatial distortion on top of that layered attack.

The Army Decimating battle saber pierced armor, and a materialized White Light remained at the part of the skeletal Evil Spirit that had been slashed, while the Blood Asura inner force continued to gnaw at the Evil Spirit by clinging to the materialized White Light.

The black spear blasted Hellfire into the skeletal Evil Spirit’s body that had been sliced open; its repair speed was far from matching the pace at which Zheng Yichen was dealing damage.

If it were not for the fact that he couldn’t use other Elements power during Burst Mode, Zheng Yichen’s attacks could have been even more complex and chaotic. Light type power could be used during Burst Mode, stored inside the body like each cell was a battery.

This was also a characteristic inherent to creatures from the Three Suns World, whereas Elements manipulation was the ability to directly manipulate Elements power in the external environment. If it wasn’t usable, then it simply wasn’t usable.

Click—

Zheng Yichen’s figure moved swiftly, the slashing claws and the tendrils spreading on the flesh of the skeletal Evil Spirit couldn’t touch him. Even when they blocked his way, those tendrils would be split by a saber strike, and the arm coming down grew brittle after being ignited by Hellfire.

Then, seizing the opportunity, Zheng Yichen chopped it down with a blow, his annoyance evident as he threw the arm into the still-active summoning ritual.

This skeletal Evil Spirit was similar to other Evil Spirits; merely severing their limbs wasn’t enough to touch the soul. Blood-sucking... ugh, the force that made up their distinctive energy bodies wasn’t the same as blood, and certainly not the soul.

So far, he had not encountered opponents that could absorb special energy. Otherwise, could the power of this Evil Spirit serve to assist him?

Looking at the cringe-inducing appearance of the skeletal Evil Spirit, Zheng Yichen still felt resistant inside. He could consume the flesh of aberrant beasts without any psychological burden under certain circumstances, but there were standards even for aberrant beasts. They could look utterly bizarre, but at least the edible parts should appear somewhat normal.

There was nothing normal about the skeletal Evil Spirit.

Dodging the thrown tentacles, when Zheng Yichen approached the skeletal Evil Spirit again, its mouth opened slightly, the space around it twisted, but this was not spatial distortion; it was the visual effect of a force in Zheng Yichen’s eyes.

The noise of high-frequency scratching on a blackboard rang out; this chaotic noise made the corner of Zheng Yichen’s eyes twitch uncontrollably. He had always considered attacks on the spirit and soul to be of little concern.

His explosive aura provided strong resistance in this area, and his soul possessed a very strong repulsive trait, giving him extraordinary resistance to external negative influences.

But the sound of nails on a chalkboard caused Zheng Yichen to experience genuine damage. The blood radiance on the Army Decimating battle saber turned into a dark red, while the White Light shifted to Black Light. Materialized Black Light significantly extended Zheng Yichen’s attack range.

A distorted slash mark that lingered in space severed the skeletal Evil Spirit’s neck. The high-frequency strikes divided its body into dozens of pieces. Thermal vision allowed him to accurately determine the strength of each part of the skeletal Evil Spirit.

Pieces with a low heat signature reaction were tossed directly into the summoning ritual, and those with high heat signature reactions were given special attention—repeatedly sliced before being thrown in, leaving only the head floating in the air.

The brain of the skeletal Evil Spirit spewed out a yellow sludge, causing Zheng Yichen’s eyes to twitch involuntarily, and he immediately unleashed a large burst of Hellfire on it. Despite that, some of the liquid still hit the ground; such a substance was not normal.

Hellfire without the power to twist space struggled to burn this thing, achieving only partial success. The portion of liquid that touched the ground worsened the pollution on Hell’s terrain.

The soil became like flesh, bizarre in form, with monstrosities both humanoid and otherwise emerging from the ground.

A Cerberus on the ground viciously bit into one of the creatures. Then, all three of its heads expressed ’agony’ as if it had eaten something it shouldn’t have. Cautious about biting down again, the cat spirit disdainfully leapt away, flinging Wind Blades with a swipe of its paw to avoid close contact with such entities.

Zheng Yichen’s gaze fell back onto the skeleton specter’s remaining head, revealing a malicious smile. No more Evil Spirits or Mental Aberration creatures were around for it to consume, so wasn’t the creature’s fate now entirely in his hands?

Ripples that twisted the air appeared again, and this time Zheng Yichen, prepared in advance, dodged out of the area the ripples covered. The Army Decimating battle saber tore open the skull of the skeleton specter, further dividing it into even smaller pieces, while Hellfire continued to burn, weakening its condition.

No soul?

After chopping the skeleton specter’s head into small pieces, even tossing its eyeballs aside, Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. He had thoroughly chopped up the specter but found no soul. Did this mean the creature wasn’t a ’biological entity’?

However, in this world, whether they were Mental Aberration creatures or other Evil Spirits, all could be considered ’biological entities’, albeit with very weak souls.

After throwing the remnants of the skeleton specter into the summoning ritual like trash, Zheng Yichen picked up a piece of white ’stone’ from the ground. It was the only thing the skeleton leader had left behind, likely a fragment of something.

Zheng Yichen tossed the fragment in his hand, feeling a strong sensation of corruption and distortion emanating from it, causing a stinging pain in his skin. His fingers, somewhat pale and rough from being in Hell, were stained a crimson red from the irritation, and not even the protection from Blood Asura inner force could block this effect.

"What the hell is this!" Dark matter emerged from Zheng Yichen’s hand, enveloping the object. Once he was no longer in direct contact with it, the crimson skin began to slowly return to normal.

He didn’t deal with the object right away but quickly made his way to the summoning ritual. Zheng Yichen had been holding back on the final step of the ritual. Such a process was possible; one could consider the summoning ritual akin to cooking.

High heat frying was one option, low heat simmering was another. With no more Evil Spirits or Mental Aberration creatures around, there was no need to maintain the ritual. Zheng Yichen jabbed the fishing rod directly into the materialized White Light magic array formation, initiating the final step of the summoning ritual.

Perhaps because of the high quality of the skeleton specter he had added, the burst of White Light, which should have emerged, was tinged with a faint blood color, giving off an ominous feeling.

In the final phase, Lilith’s projection reappeared, staring at the glow at the center of the ritual. She was recording and analyzing the energy information at the heart of the ritual through energy monitoring.

"Boss, you might have hit the jackpot this time."

"Hearing you say that makes me feel like it was worth it." Zheng Yichen grinned. Dealing with Evil Spirits didn’t allow for blood extraction, and extracting souls didn’t help his physical recovery. In other battles, he would usually come out nearly in peak condition.

After fighting with Evil Spirits and Mental Aberration creatures, he would need to rest a while. Stamina wasn’t the problem; the Blood Asura inner force he had expended couldn’t be replenished right away.

In an environment where new enemies might appear at any moment, not being at full strength was somewhat unsettling.

He planned to make a quick exit after the summoning ritual was completed.

He had stuffed a particularly special Evil Spirit into the ritual, or perhaps something that couldn’t even be considered an Evil Spirit or a Mental Aberration creature. Surely with such an addition, even an unreliable summoning ritual would offer some guaranteed results, right?

As he waited, the white ball no longer served as a mere decorative ornament on the motorcycle, leaping down from the handlebars and squirming its way onto Zheng Yichen.

"Oh, right." Looking at the little creature that had approached him on its own, Zheng Yichen reached out and kneaded the soft white ball, "Since you’ve come to me willingly, let’s try this."

Any Evil Spirit enveloped by the white ball would be instantly killed. Zheng Yichen didn’t know its upper limit, but he had something even more special in his hand.

The pale fragment was stuffed by Zheng Yichen into the white ball, which naively accepted anything he pushed towards it.

Throughout the process, Zheng Yichen closely monitored the condition of the white ball, maintaining a soul control connection with this creature that felt like a stress ball, ready to cheat on its behalf and share any damage if something went wrong.

Seconds after swallowing the fragment, the white ball shuddered all over. Soon after, like an amphibian, it turned its belly inside out, spitting out the swallowed fragment and appearing to be in a bad state.

"Uh, did I just do something really bad?" Observing the white ball’s pitiful state, Zheng Yichen hadn’t even begun to feel guilty when he saw the creature squirm towards the fragment again, as if intending to swallow it once more.

Enough was enough. Zheng Yichen scooped up the white ball and placed it back on the decorative spot of the motorcycle. His palm covered in the black material that generated the black spear, enclosed the fragment.
