Chapter 627: 466 Chapter Home Field Advantage_1

Lifespan was never a concern for Boundary Breakers, for unless they died by accident, there were plenty of ways to extend one’s life in the Great World. Such welfare guarantees made the Boundary Breakers quite willing to spend years, even decades, in exploration.

Soaking in the Spring of Life not only restored their consumed lifespan—although it wouldn’t break the original lifespan limits, just restore it—but it also granted additional strength enhancement during the soak. Such enhancements could be much greater than the strength they would accumulate over several years, or even longer, in a world, with very few side effects.

At most, due to an insufficient physical foundation, they needed enough time to digest the benefits. Opening up a new world was just such a digestive process.

But even if Zheng Yichen went back this time without facing punishment, he probably wouldn’t get a free ticket anymore. This wasn’t a big deal; well-off Boundary Breakers usually didn’t care about the time spent, as they valued the enhancements to their strength and physique from the Spring of Life more.

Such changes and enhancements were still of great help to Bazel now.

What a pity...

"Handle it yourself." The God Descender behind Bazel didn’t plan to interfere in this matter.

...

"This... is powerful!" The burning Zheng Yichen’s eyes widened. His vision was ablaze, and the connection through his soul control meant that the Flames of Rage had its damage drastically reduced, though it did not affect the ignition of his anger.

The flames were suppressed by the battle Qi that burst forth, leaving behind only tiny sparks escaping from his seven orifices.

Demonic thoughts in the city converged like tidal waves, severely impacting Zheng Yichen’s mental state. The ice crystal Heroic Spirit whirled swiftly not far from him, trying to cool him down by freezing.

Zheng Yichen refused such actions, unleashing the gathered demonic thoughts with his attack. The sky darkened with his strike, and shattered black light fragments twisted the fabric of space. The destructive force severed the still-surging Evil Spirit fountain, obliterating countless evil spirits without leaving behind even a soul fragment.

The destructive power even penetrated the hellish fissures in the ground and reached down into Hell itself, permanently halting the Evil Spirit fountain.

Facing this strike directly, the Great Evil God brought together several palms as if to ’catch’ the attack, but cracks soon appeared on those palms. The surging aftermath also enveloped the eleven high-rank evil spirits floating nearby.

"Hahaha! It’s not over yet!!" Zheng Yichen laughed loudly, pulling his giant saber. Demonic thoughts in the City of Evil Spirits formed a vortex. Demonic thoughts, typically formless, became visible in such a vast quantity, materializing as a tangible darkness.

This visible darkness formed a large vortex around Zheng Yichen, with twisted faces within the demonic thoughts—Mental Aberration creatures and evil spirits birthed from a concentration of demonic thoughts interacting with the environment.

These nascent beings, before they could even manifest their presence, were swept away and ground to dust by the flow of demonic thoughts, becoming part of the fuel for Zheng Yichen’s next attack.

Zheng Yichen swung his second strike, and black saber light split the heavy clouds in the sky as thunderous fracturing sounds rang out from the Great Evil God’s arms. Eleven high-rank evil spirits howled as three more perished in the resulting shock waves.

The Great Evil God, not being in the normal spatial plane, benefited from significant damage reduction. The high-rank evil spirits, however, were within normal spatial limits and couldn’t withstand the shock waves from Zheng Yichen’s attack. The Great Evil God showed no intention of shielding those spirits.

As the arms disintegrated, the Shadow of the Great Evil God opened its mouth. The residual power from the three shock-killed high-rank evil spirits was absorbed by the Great Evil God, while the remaining spirits sensed their power faltering and quickly distanced themselves from the Shadow of the Great Evil God.

This did not dampen their fervor at the moment. Having absorbed new strength, the Shadow of the Great Evil God began to recover. The corners of Zheng Yichen’s mouth twitched, realizing that the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills, which had always been at full power, were suddenly not so effective anymore.

The Shadow of the Great Evil God’s recovery was incredibly powerful. The abnormal mental power within the city was absorbed by the Great Evil God to grow stronger, and in such an environment, Zheng Yichen could keep using the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills like normal slashes, as long as his body could endure it.

However, the Shadow of the Great Evil God benefited from the environment, equivalent to carrying mobile spring water, so its recovery was also at full throttle.

Zheng Yichen glanced at the cracks in the ground. The fissure to Hell began closing; after the Evil Spirit fountain was interrupted, the forcibly opened crack could hardly be sustained and no more evil spirits could escape Hell through it.

Even so, the City of Evil Spirits was now in a state of utter chaos, with evil spirits and Mental Aberration creatures as numerous as the city’s population.

The Evil Spirits and Mental Aberration creatures were currently attracted by the Hellfire that Zheng Yichen had released. The souls left by the dead in the city were drawn to the Great Evil God, while a portion of those souls was intercepted by Zheng Yichen.

The struggle for these was not difficult, probably due to the influence of the "God of Rebellion." The remaining high-rank evil spirits tried to bypass Zheng Yichen to attack the God of Rebellion, but two that had just approached were dealt with: one was intercepted by the alien Heroic Spirit, and the other was frozen in place by the ice crystal Heroic Spirit.

This freezing did not completely restrict the high-rank evil spirit, and the silver Heroic Spirit was sent flying with one encounter, its body blurring. These high-rank evil spirits were not weak at all; it’s just that they had encountered Zheng Yichen.

The evil spirit slowed by the freezing had not done much before it was cleaved by Zheng Yichen. This time, Zheng Yichen specifically controlled his output, only exploding the body of the high-rank evil spirit while its soul was forcibly suppressed into the fishing rod. Soon after, it was dominated by soul control, slightly increasing Zheng Yichen’s basal strength.

Another high-rank evil spirit, with a ferocious face, was about to lay hands on the God of Rebellion, but just as it got close, it was suppressed with a wave of the God of Rebellion’s hand. The speed of the God of Rebellion’s growth was incredibly fast; right after Zheng Yichen had injured the Shadow of the Great Evil God, the God of Rebellion seemed to get a boost of strength as if aided in a tug of war, surging tremendously in power.

As the Great Evil God weakened, the God of Rebellion swiftly grew stronger. The high-rank evil spirit that was suppressed by the God of Rebellion howled as its body quickly faded and disappeared. After being utterly obliterated, a clump of power’s aura ignited in the hand of the God of Rebellion.

Zheng Yichen found this somewhat familiar. All twelve hands of the Great Evil God were lit, including the Flames of Rage and the lazy frost that Zheng Yichen had felt before, complimented by other colors corresponding to various negative forces. Since the multi-handed Heroic Spirits by his side were regarded by the Evil Spirits as the God of Rebellion,

The forces now being exhibited were opposed to those of the Great Evil God... No, that’s not right; they should be considered the same but opposite aspects. Alice’s condition was one example, as were the powers displayed by the ashes silhouette and the ice crystal.

The ashes silhouette was the result of an Evil Spirit summoning ritual, so the power retained its original aspect, while the ice crystal was a product of a Heroic Spirit summoning ritual, manifesting power as the same kind but opposite.

But now, with all twelve hands of the Great Evil God alight, the God of Rebellion pathetically only had one hand illuminated, holding a red power that resembled a burning flame, but the aura being emitted was not the Flames of Rage. Zheng Yichen sensed it and thought... passion?

It must be something similar, related to rage but not clouding the mind, though that kind of flame was not something Zheng Yichen wanted to try out. Comparing the two, the Flames of Rage were more helpful to him; he needed demonic thoughts.

Those involving the positive emotion ’rage’ were not only unhelpful but could impact his output, somewhat similar to the freezing of the ice crystal.

Besides, Zheng Yichen noticed that once a hand of the God of Rebellion lit up, Its growth in strength accelerated, and the previously inactive Shadow of the Great Evil God became agitated, Its gaze dropping to the God of Rebellion.

The God of Rebellion, which had also been maintaining a passive state, slowly lifted Its head, locking eyes with the Shadow of the Great Evil God.

Boom——

The God of Rebellion, floating in the air, was directly pressed to the ground, with shockwaves flattening the entire street. Zheng Yichen twitched the corner of his eye: "Damn! You really screwed up!!"

Before he could be crushed, this ’God of Rebellion’ had already hit the deck.

Demonic thoughts erupted, and black saber light shattered the invisible pressure from above, severing an arm from the Shadow of the Great Evil God. The missing arm quickly returned to normal, and the God of Rebellion that had been slammed into the ground floated up again, still maintaining an emotionless state.

As if the being squashed into the ground just now was not It, Zheng Yichen clicked his tongue, though his gaze swept maliciously into the distance. Demonic thoughts converged, and the black saber light slashed out.

Buildings in the way were all severed, and two figures flew quickly out from the assault, those being Boundary Breakers who had entered the God Descender state. To Zheng Yichen, a few heat sources were utterly destroyed by that blow.

As those heat sources were exterminated, two other Boundary Breakers’ heat sources swiftly expanded, but their expansion couldn’t surpass Zheng Yichen’s attack and were utterly crushed into dust.

The remaining two Boundary Breakers were not much better off. The destructive force reached them, and even though they were currently enhanced by the God Descender’s power, they were not the God Descender’s true body. They might become very strong, yet the force they could bear was limited.

One of the God Descenders gave Zheng Yichen a deep look and immediately withdrew the power sustaining his Boundary Breaker. The destructive force quickly extinguished the life in that body. He could have spent more energy to save the Boundary Breaker.

But Zheng Yichen’s attacks were not just this once, and with the City of Evil Spirits practically being Zheng Yichen’s home field, this Boundary Breaker wouldn’t survive the next strike.
