Chapter 736: Chapter 550 Unwanted_1

```

The Oath Beast is not an Oath monster that transforms after an Oath Keeper breaks their oath. This creature has a world-destroying oath, and its current actions are in complete fulfillment of its own Oath. Within the bounds of its oath, it will only grow stronger.

Even if this thing is more monstrous than the Oath monsters, it’s still a qualified ’Oath Keeper.’

Using Oath Power against this thing...

Zheng Yichen’s oath enforced with the Oath Power is still aimed at countering beings that threaten the world. The Oath Beast has an oath of destruction, which also threatens the world itself, otherwise, his Oath Power wouldn’t be surging.

But it seems the rate of increase doesn’t match that of the Oath Beast.

The escaped Boundary Breakers are still wreaking havoc, not to mention the cities that were destroyed from the start—those were major cities in this world.

When dealing with the Great Evil God, only one city was affected, but now?

Zheng Yichen felt the accumulating Oath Power. If this power could be used to release the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills, then he could blaze with every strike, just like the last time.

For this, he chose to use the Counter-Oath Power...

Oath Power simply cannot be used as the energy to release the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills, it can only be used to add to or enhance one’s self.

But seeing the growth speed of the Oath Beast, even if used to amplify oneself, it might not be enough to take down this thing.

The external attacks from the Dusk mercenaries... forget it, a larger number might form a brief suppressive effect.

In the confrontation of Oath Power against Oath Power, it’s about who has the higher intensity; there is no inherent counter-property.

The strength effect from the Counter-Oath Power would be more pronounced.

Yet feeling his own Oath Power that was still increasing, Zheng Yichen had a bit of a headache. The Counter-Oath Power could destroy Oath Power to increase, and the generated Counter-Oath Power had an added suppressing effect on Oath Power.

But the Oath Power he currently held was too vast—could his body withstand the backlash if he used Counter-Oath Power to destroy the oath he had made?

He should be able to handle it...

Feeling the vigorous Life Force gained from burning the Essence of Life, at worst he had the serpent’s exuvia as a safety net. In that case... let’s do it!

Counter-Oath Power touched Oath Power, and cracks started to form on the Oath marks that appeared in his eyes, beginning to shatter. At the same time, Zheng Yichen felt a twisting pain throughout his body.

It was as if the entire person was bathing in lava, his power erupting like a volcanic blast, but the oath he had set did not disappear; the Oath Power would vanish rapidly once used.

But now, because the Oath Power was gained so quickly, it completely negated the dissipating speed, and even on this basis, it quickly accumulated more. The Counter-Oath Power thus became more potent as well.

The Essence of Life was consumed at an extremely fast pace to compensate for the backlash damage from the destroyed Oath, and Zheng Yichen really didn’t want to have this BUG!

"At least I haven’t become an Oath monster—" Zheng Yichen clenched his teeth, the blood spilling from his mouth turning into a mist, causing discomfort in his throat. The blood dragon that emerged from swinging his long spear, imbued with Counter-Oath Power, tore through the fog and bit into the Chains of Oath on the Oath Beast.

The normally invulnerable Chains of Oath directly shattered; the body of the Oath Beast collapsed in part. Indeed, compared to directly destroying the flesh of the Oath Beast, attacking the Chains of Oath had a more noticeable effect.

Because the Oath Power was still increasing rapidly, Zheng Yichen struck back with a Level 1 attack imbued with Oath Power. The same output, but the Chains of Oath that were hit only trembled violently, crackling but not breaking.

The Oath Beast is an ’Oath Keeper,’ while Zheng Yichen’s Oath Power comes from ’counteracting threats to the world.’ But that is just the source of power, it doesn’t affect the nature of the power; all Oath Power is of one type, the properties only change according to individual characteristics.

Fuel can power cars, trucks, chainsaws, and other oil-burning engines, but their functions differ while the driving fuel is the same.

Therefore, to use Oath Power to have an additional suppressing effect on the Oath Beast, one must have some inherent traits that counter it, not a targeted oath to bring about certain traits; that won’t work.

The so-called targeted oaths simply become stronger because they are targeted.

The Oath Beast doesn’t fall within the Seven Kills of the Demonic Abyss, nor is it a normal life form. Even if Oath Power could still enhance the Power of Death, it’s of no use against the Oath Beast.

Just honestly use the Counter-Oath Power. At least now, Zheng Yichen doesn’t have to worry about Oath Power vanishing. Not only that, he now has to carefully suppress the increase of the Counter-Oath Power.

The speed of the Oath Power’s increase made Zheng Yichen realize a factor he had overlooked.

When facing the Devourers, he acquired a fragmented trait of the Unity of Heaven and Man. It was so weak that Zheng Yichen had been ignoring it, but now this trait seemed to astonishingly harmonize with the oath made with his Oath Power.

```

Unity of Heaven and Man is related to the world itself, and the Oath he made is to maintain this world, whereas the world-destroying oath of the Oath Beast aims to annihilate it.

At this moment, even the incomplete traits of Unity of Heaven and Man are still of Unity of Heaven and Man.

The problem is... is it possible to reduce the backlash intensity of breaking an Oath?

His ability to maintain normal combat strength relied solely on the super high regeneration brought by massive amounts of Essence of Life, otherwise the backlash from breaking an Oath could grind his body into raw materials, and then an object called ’Zheng Yichen sauce’ would forcibly shape him into a new Oath monster.

The rampant blood dragon kept shattering the Chains of Oath on the Oath Beast’s body. Originally passive, the creature began to perceive a strong threat from Zheng Yichen and became actively aggressive, its mist-shrouded tentacles coiling and lashing out at him in the dark.

The dense fog squeezed Zheng Yichen’s space to move, a force not merely composed of Oath Power but a manifestation of the Oath Beast’s own traits. Counter-Oath Power could produce a restraining effect, but it was not as evident as directly attacking the Chains of Oath.

"Meow—" As Zheng Yichen wrapped the cat spirit cloak around his waist like a battle skirt, the cat spirit emerged but screamed the next instant and shrank back into the cloak.

The dissolving power of the fog was too intense for it to bear, and Zheng Yichen’s clothes had long since been dissolved away; otherwise, he wouldn’t have resorted to using the cat spirit cloak as a battle skirt.

This was even with a protective aura that blocked some of the fog.

The rampaging blood dragon bit through the Chains of Oath on the Oath Beast’s body, and in Zheng Yichen’s rapid clearing movements, the swiftly growing Oath Beast slowed its pace of growth. But this couldn’t go on forever.

As long as the Boundary Breakers kept their destructive actions ongoing, the Oath Beast’s growth would not stagnate.

"Second message... phew, we need a large number of Oath Beasts here, let Hong Zhao and the others deploy ’bait’." Zheng Yichen said to the quickly shattering teleportation array, as the fog had already seriously disrupted his communication with Lilith.

"Understood—" A broken reply sounded.

Lilith immediately relayed Zheng Yichen’s request to Liu Hongzhao and took out the so-called ’bait’, which had a strong attraction to those extraordinarily stupid creatures.

Upon receiving the bait, Liu Hongzhao glanced at the churning foggy area, crushed the bait directly, and the wind evenly scattered it near the foggy region, where the interior was no longer visible.

Only the intense sounds of battle from within could be faintly heard, and the Dusk mercenaries also recognized what this substance was, staying well away from the range of the fog.

"What are the people in this world doing?" After scattering the ’bait’, Liu Hongzhao asked Lilith.

Lilith pulled up two projection screens and said, "Some exceptionally strong Oath Keepers are approaching, while others are fighting among themselves..."

"Infighting..." Liu Hongzhao’s expression grew colder. There were always such people, and she knew that hatred couldn’t completely root out their existence, but knowing it still displeased her.

"I’ve already spread the information about the Oath Beast. It’s up to the native forces to react now. If they want to save themselves, it’s possible to quickly rally a group of Oath Keepers with world-saving oaths, along with capturing a sufficient number of Oath monsters."

Oath monsters were especially sensitive to Oath Keepers and naturally hated them. If an Oath Keeper and a normal person walked together among ten Oath monsters, then those ten monsters wouldn’t attack the normal person unless there were only a few, at least not until the Oath Keeper was torn to shreds.

"There’s not enough time," said Qi Xiangyun with a worried expression. The nearby cities had already been destroyed by explosions. Even if there were survivors, how much strength could those survivors muster?

Moreover, with the chaotic social state of this world, where everyone was fearful for themselves, even if some information were released, how effective would the forces formed by these people spontaneously be?

"Every little bit helps," said Lin Yaoyao, looking towards the distant sky. "Some people are coming."

These were the native Oath Keepers who were approaching.

"Be careful," Liu Hongzhao warned, watching the figures that appeared in the distance and were rapidly drawing closer.

Furthermore, it seemed that some ’reinforcements’ were following behind them.

"What methods did you use? Why have these Oath monsters become like this??" The Oath Keeper who arrived asked upon seeing Qi Xiangyun and the others, then descended from the sky. The large number of flying Oath monsters behind him didn’t pursue, but instead flew like moths to a flame towards the dark purple mist.

Qi Xiangyun replied calmly, "Perhaps they were attracted by that Oath Beast? Aren’t Oath monsters very sensitive to Oath Power?"

"Maybe. You Dusk mercenaries make use of children too? You should leave here quickly!" The newcomer didn’t pursue the matter further. He knew Oath monsters were attracted to Oath Keepers, but those he had encountered hadn’t been attracted, they had gone mad.

He had noticed the youth of Liu Hongzhao and her companions, thinking that the Dusk mercenaries had low standards for recruiting.

The Oath Keeper stared at the surging fog. His any Oaths weren’t purely about world-saving, but rather related to saving people. Before coming here, having noticed the information about the Oath Beast, his Oath Power had started to strengthen, enabling him to fly quickly through the air, or he wouldn’t have arrived so timely.

Once here, he felt his Oath Power grow unprecedentedly strong. The Oath Beast threatened the entire world, and such a threat would endanger all the people within it, hence his Oath was fully triggered!
