Chapter 737: Chapter 551 Adding a Blessing for You_1

Not only does it involve the world-saving Oath, but any Oath related to the safety of the human race will trigger at this time, and the closer to the location of the Oath Beast, the stronger the intensity.

This left the arriving Oath Keepers with an indescribable sense of emotion, fearing such intensity might never be reached again in the future.

After all, the strength of an Oath Keeper is generally fixed, whether powerful or not was decided after making the Oath, and subsequent enhancements are mostly about further developing and utilizing one’s initially fixed power and evolving more techniques. Those with growth potential do exist but are rare.

For example, there are Oaths that enhance strength after carrying out certain deeds, but such Oath Keepers do not grow quickly, and as they progress, the difficulty of growth increases. At first, helping an old lady across the road may lead to growth, but later, saving dozens or hundreds of people might only offer a fraction more in terms of improvement.

However, there is at least a glimmer of hope...

Therefore, Oath Keepers with the potential to grow don’t usually have much of an advantage, and once their power averages out against the traditional type, the rest is a slow accumulation. It’s a way to break through bottlenecks, but it requires a significantly long warm-up period.

Oath Keepers with a bit of a talent for it can match those non-growing Oath Keepers in two or three years; for those less gifted, it might take seven or eight, or even a dozen years.

However, once that level is reached, what follows is pure ’profit’, but as one’s base level rises, this pure income also decreases.

Of course, should anyone truly reach the pinnacle of Oath Keepers, then further advancement could potentially make them the strongest Oath Keeper in history. Yet, Oath Keepers must contend with another issue, lifespan.

Why are Boundary Breakers able to sway many Oath Keepers?

Because Boundary Breakers offer ways to fundamentally solve the problem of lifespan.

It’s possible to learn special powers or significantly extend one’s lifespan through scientific means, without affecting one’s status as an Oath Keeper.

Truthfully, if the problem of lifespan could indeed be solved, many would opt for the growth-oriented Oath path. They might be mediocre for the first ten or twenty years, but in the decades that follow, they could thoroughly trounce most others.

Moreover, growth-oriented Oath Keepers can largely ignore the restrictions of the Oath; however, they also struggle to attain the intense Oath Power that stringent Oaths offer. But if the lifespan issue is resolved, reaching that intensity becomes much easier.

But here, all that is no longer a problem. The power granted by fixed Oaths has also been greatly enhanced, and the subsequent Oath Keepers can feel their current power could easily tear apart everything.

But they are also well aware that the reason for such dramatic increases in Oath Power is because, at this very moment, they are facing an Oath Beast with the potential for World Destruction!

If the world is destroyed, all of humanity will be doomed. Therefore, Oath Keepers relating to saving lives and the world have become unprecedentedly powerful. Correspondingly, if they betray their Oath, the backlash will be even more severe. But seeing those Oath monsters madly charging into the Chaos Mist, they know that even if they become Oath monsters, they will still become a part of ’saving the world’.

At this time, those Oath monsters attracted by unknown factors and driven mad by the enormous Oath Power of the Oath Beast, paradoxically become reliable ’allies’.

They disregard the erosive damage from the mist; even if they are completely dissolved into dark purple slime dripping onto the ground, they will still manage to bite into one of the Chains of Oath on the body of the Oath Beast in their final moments.

These unprecedentedly powerful Oath Keepers who have broken their vows and turned into Oath monsters will join the ranks of those crazed Oath monsters.

The conditions for breaking an Oath... are low, to say the least. After arriving here, the conditions for breaking an Oath have decreased.

This is a kind of self-sensing of the Oath Keepers regarding their own Oath; at this moment, facing the Dusk mercenaries without changing their stance is equivalent to breaking the Oath.

Conspiring with the local traitors is equivalent to breaking the Oath, pretending not to see the Boundary Breaker is equivalent to breaking the Oath, and even choosing to stand by idly here is seen as breaking the Oath. The tremendous increase in power does not come without a cost.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for the sake of saving lives, saving the world, let’s take action!"

The arriving Oath Keepers said to their companions, who they did not know before arriving, but at this moment, they become reliable comrades, ready to save the world together. Perhaps this is due to the Oath, as betraying a companion is also equivalent to breaking the Oath... but what’s most important is that at this moment, they are united.

"Act now! This is our homeland, we cannot let outsiders laugh at us!"

A muscular Oath Keeper tore off his shirt and charged into the mist of his own accord, his body serving as his best defense. Even so, upon contact with the mist, his face twisted, and rust-like spots began to appear on his steel-hard skin.

"Huff— I can still take it!"

The brawny Oath Keeper gritted his teeth and plunged deeper into the mist, soon coming upon a massive tentacle. He smashed it with a punch, and the tentacle burst instantly, but the spewing dark purple mist twisted his face even more.

Then a hand grabbed him, throwing him out while he was unprepared: "Ah! Who is obstructing me!!"

"Enough talk, let’s get out first, I’ll give you a BUFF—"

At the same time, other Oath Keepers in different locations were also ’attacked’, but the attack wasn’t strong, only forceful enough to blow them out of the mist.

These Oath Keepers looked at each other in dismay—they had been forced out, but without breaking their Oaths...

"Who is it?"

Soon they saw Zheng Yichen carrying an Oath Keeper. Seeing this young man, the Oath Keepers present felt an enormous pressure. What kind of human-shaped Oath monster was this?

Oath Keepers are very sensitive to Counter-Oath Power, just like Oath monsters are to Oath Keepers. With Zheng Yichen standing there, it was as if they were facing thousands of top-tier Oath monsters.

What’s worse, Zheng Yichen’s body would occasionally burst with dozens of tiny wounds that healed back to normal in the next instant.

"I really like the natives who are willing to fight desperately to save their own world, so I will give you some extra help when you are struggling."

Zheng Yichen rubbed the black spear in his hand, releasing the Eye Pupil of Life. After being corrected by soul control, the whole eye shone with a bright pale golden light. Though it didn’t quite match the red base color, the power of the Eye Pupil of Life was now at its full potential.

The Oath Keepers looked upon by the Eye Pupil of Life felt a strange enhancement. The power manifesting on them did not strengthen their Oath Power, but it did enhance their Life Force.

Zheng Yichen nodded. After the Eye Pupil of Life was enhanced by the soul control correction, the force it applied focused more on the individual’s body, not just engulfing them, which meant that other dispelling methods would now struggle to affect the ’Fervent Blood Life’ granted by the Eye Pupil of Life.

A good thing indeed.

"I will leave it here; anyone willing to fight the Oath Beast will receive its blessing!"

"Blessing?" An Oath Keeper asked, puzzled.

"It’s a chance for you to save your lives. The more you are willing to fight for the sake of saving your world or its people, the more likely you are to survive. Experience it for yourselves," he said.

"Hahaha, that perfectly matches my Oath!" exclaimed the muscular, bare-chested Oath Keeper, laughing. His surging emotions made him feel a change within himself, as if a boundless Life Force was emerging from the depths of his spirit. His body, which had wounds eroded by the dark purple Chaos Mist, healed in the blink of an eye.

"..." The other Oath Keepers widened their eyes at this scene. Where did this passionate middle-aged man jump out from?

However, with a comrade taking the lead and displaying such power, they also knew how to make good use of this strength.

Zheng Yichen continued, "If you feel the lasting power of this force is insufficient, then leave the fight and get the blessing reapplied. Of course, it could also be that your emotions and vigor have reached a level that this power can’t amplify, though that’s quite difficult.

When you attack the Oath Beast, target the Chains of Oath on its body primarily; they are more effective. I really hope you all survive, especially since at this time you are all willing to fight desperately for the world itself, at the forefront—those who march to death, I wish you luck."

Having said that, Zheng Yichen returned first, rushing back into the mist, leaving behind the large and glowing pale golden Eye Pupil of Life.

"Although his blessing is powerful, his aura is definitely... Counter-Oath Power, typical of an Oath monster, right?"

"And he’s a Dusk mercenary? Forget it, that’s not important. To fight this Oath monster, maybe Counter-Oath Power will be more effective. If we really have no way out, breaking the Oath to become an Oath monster might be an extra option?"

"Hahaha, it’s like those stages bosses have in games that young people play, right? Not bad at all. Don’t hesitate, let’s go! Oh, and leave some information for the allies coming after us, so they don’t mistake that glowing eyeball for a monster."

Under the gaze of the Eye Pupil of Life, the Oath Keepers charged into the Chaos Mist. Once inside, there were fewer ways out, and coupled with the influence of their Oaths, these Oath Keepers had strong fighting spirit. As their combativeness increased, they truly felt the enhancement brought on by Fervent Blood Life.

Life Force surged out at an incredible rate, repairing their condition and replenishing their strength. It seemed as if, so long as their fighting spirit and mental resilience didn’t fade, they could fight forever—a little erosion from the mist?

No longer a concern. The protection of Oath Power, along with this recovery ability, made it trivial. It’s just too bad that this enhancement didn’t improve their physical condition, nor did they have the option to consume Life Force for more powerful attacks.

But this was sufficient.

Whether working alone or cooperatively, the Oath Keepers shattered a segment of the Chains of Oath. Seeing part of the Oath Beast’s body collapse, they focused on targeting the Chains of Oath.

Breaking the tendrils would cause a large amount of mist to emerge, but destroying the Chains of Oath avoided this problem. Even though they were hard to break, this tactic was more efficient than directly attacking the tendrils.
