Chapter 898: Chapter 645: It’s Really Hard to Kill Someone
"What have you done?" Du Gang inhaled sharply, feeling a suffocating sensation in the environment. His vision started to darken as if he were suffocating in the vast emptiness of space.
"I’ve completely drained this land of its last vestige of recovery potential. Can’t you handle it?"
"I can, but it’s quite uncomfortable." Du Gang shook his head. "When my Vajra Body is intact, it’s a Flawless Body. This problem here doesn’t affect me."
But it wasn’t comfortable by any stretch—the feeling that he could be subsumed into this barren Oblivion at any moment was terrible.
"That’s fine then. If we’re suffering, our enemies are suffering too. Moreover, this environment is advantageous for us."
"...That’s true, too." Du Gang saw a series of monsters transported over, losing their ability to unleash special attacks.
Their special attacks would be absorbed by the overgrown wilderness of the environment. In close combat, both he and Zheng Yichen had a strong advantage.
"Alert, the teleportation of the Eye of the Heavenly Law is affected." An employee looked at the information displayed by the Eye of the Heavenly Law. The image on Zheng Yichen’s side was starting to blur, and the severe desolation of the land was affecting the monitoring of the Eye of the Heavenly Law.
To perform teleportation under these circumstances, one would have to make arrivals several hundred kilometers away.
While this wasn’t a significant effect, it did impact the original plan, preventing their forces from appearing at the designated locations instantly. Also, due to the impact on teleportation deployments, some experimental subjects became completely boxed.
"Let’s start target capturing then."
The development department immediately responded, and the Eye of the Heavenly Law staff immediately initiated the new teleportation that was prepared, transferring the stranded warriors from the Eye of the Heavenly Law to the vicinity of the battlefield.
Once these warriors appeared here, they immediately felt the impact of the barren environment. Warriors from the Boundary Breaking Organization who were proficient in magic looked quite uncomfortable.
The environment here was like it had been gnawed by dogs. The development department’s ’Flesh Carpet,’ at least merely drained the vitality of the land, causing it to become barren, but it wouldn’t go so far as here—the barren land seemed to devour even the air to fill its emptiness.
And that was just the air, let alone the free energy in the environment. It was as if the Devouring Faction had driven a ’Devouring Sky Pillar’ into some worlds.
If one wasn’t firmly locking in their bodily condition, they would be devoured by the barren land, draining their life force. Those who used magic would experience additional loss whenever they released power.
Yet, Zheng Yichen, who had caused all this, was indifferent. He was preparing a battlefield suitable for himself. As for environmental destruction? If he couldn’t defeat his enemies, he would be finished, and caring for the environment was contingent upon being able to live well.
Besides, the Great World was vast. They’d find a way to solve this problem, wouldn’t they?
He just needed to continue accumulating power. Now, having gained enough strength from devouring the earth, he could initiate Oblivion.
As long as enough enemies came and were worth it, he wouldn’t hesitate to use Oblivion.
He still had to intercept, and he would continue to unleash Oblivion as he moved forward, while also switching Oaths. However, before changing oaths, he needed to use up the existing Oath Power.
He had already decided on the new Oath to change to... the World Annihilation Oath.
He wasn’t a World Annihilation beast without self-will. He could control himself with this Oath. As for surviving? Surviving and being a home-wrecking husky Zheng Yichen was something he could accept.
The accumulated Oath Power couldn’t be wasted either, so he grabbed a poor soul to use it on.
Zheng Yichen eyed several figures rapidly approaching in the distance and said to Du Gang, "I’ll go first!"
The accumulated Oath Power was fully invoked, and his fishing rod, covered in black material shaped into a giant saber, was imbued with destructive power. A black saber light cleaved through the air, leaving a mirror-like slash mark in the environment.
The first to confront, a Boundary Breaking Faction warrior, widened his Eyes and met this unavoidable strike with explosive power. A black explosion enveloped his figure and several nearby companions.
The demonic thoughts generated by the explosion were quickly devoured by the barren environment, revealing these few embattled figures.
The person struck by the attack had a ferocious wound, and the blood that flowed out turned black upon leaving the body, quickly decaying. This wasn’t the aftermath of Demonic Abyss Seven Kills. It was still the influence of the environment.
"It’s really hard to kill an enemy," Zheng Yichen genuinely said.
Du Gang smirked, "The enemies who can come at this time are not simple. Killing one is a significant loss for the Boundary Breaking Organization."
The enemies arriving here now, randomly picking one, are no weaker than a Proxy Agent, and Du Gang was confident in a one-on-one fight, but at this very moment, he was facing a ten-to-one battle.
This was no longer something he could handle with his hands in his pockets.
If it really came down to a fight, within thirty rounds he would be tossed around like a ball, just like when he was first dragged into the Great World.
"The problem is, they are not easy to kill." Zheng Yichen silently switched to the World Annihilation Oath, and then he felt the power of the Oath surge; he devoured the earth and threw a clump of aura imbued with the Oblivion impression into this piece of land.
This induced a malignant change in the Overgrown Wilderness, which would strip away everything normal to fill its barrenness, but the remaining aura of Oblivion caused everything stripped away to fail to transform into effective replenishment.
And yet, the Overgrown Wilderness did not stop this process of depriving the outside world of vitality, including the normal land connected to the Overgrown Wilderness...
Feeling the rapidly increasing power of the Oath, Zheng Yichen paused momentarily and then said, "Old Gang, if Dusk ever assigns you the task of killing me, please show some mercy."
"... Are you out of your mind? Would Dusk need to arrange such a task? If there’s really an issue, they’ll just take you away directly."
"True." After saying that, Zheng Yichen and Du Gang simultaneously dodged a lightsaber beam coming from afar.
The hostile environment affected energy attacks, but they were not completely unusable; as long as the attacks came fast enough, the speed of environmental deprivation couldn’t keep up with the speed of the attacks taking effect.
Once the real battle started, he no longer had time to talk with Du Gang. Zheng Yichen first targeted a Boundary Breaking Faction powerhouse whom he had already slashed.
In the Overgrown Wilderness, the adversary couldn’t effectively heal the wounds on his body.
Not only that, but his vitality also continually drained away from the wound. Zheng Yichen, using Life Lock-on, firmly fixed his eyes on him. Not only that, he also felt a strong Malice Lock-on targeting him.
The Malice Lock-on came from the cat spirit in the cat spirit cloak. Cat spirits were not suited to appear in an environment like the Overgrown Wilderness, but helping Zheng Yichen throw a Malice Lock-on at the enemy was no problem. The cloak itself also enhanced Zheng Yichen’s abilities.
Incidentally, these people were not Da Shan’s relatives, and when they tried to hit Zheng Yichen, their attacks couldn’t easily penetrate the aura around him.
For Zheng Yichen, his thought was to kill one first and not worry about the others for now.
Under the double lock-on, the Boundary Breaker soon gave up the idea of dodging Zheng Yichen’s moves. There was simply no escaping. Every single one of his attacks seemed to have eyes, and his attacks contained Chaos power.
Energy interference by other Boundary Breakers couldn’t mess with Chaos power. Such power could only be countered by someone else’s equally strong attack. Interference tactics? Chaos power ignored such effects.
Chaotic attacks, combined with the Overgrown Wilderness, made the involved Boundary Breakers quite passive against Zheng Yichen. Moreover, when Zheng Yichen got injured intentionally or unintentionally, they quickly realized something was wrong.
They were contaminated with the Catastrophe Curse, albeit mildly, but this slight effect already made Zheng Yichen’s attacks more effective.
Some of the Boundary Breakers’ special defenses began to seem less special, and the residual effects of Zheng Yichen’s attacks began to make an impact. Minor injuries started to accumulate - in the Overgrown Wilderness, getting injured meant the speed of draining life accelerated.
"We can’t keep fighting here; force them to leave this place." Several Boundary Breakers quickly agreed through their unique method of communication.
The stronger the attack used within the range of the Overgrown Wilderness, the larger the area it affected, which meant the greater the consumption. There was no power to mobilize in the environment, and such broad-range impact attacks had to completely consume their own strength to be executed.
Doing so meant that at least half of their strength would be seized by the Overgrown Wilderness.
Therefore, the battle here seemed relatively ordinary - one could see beams of energy, flashes of swords and sabers, but there were no frequent large-scale destructive attacks.
Zheng Yichen himself did not use the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills anymore. The Demonic Abyss Seven Kills that were issued would also be deprived by the barren environment. After an attack, there wouldn’t be much demonic thought left, and the barren land, completely plundered of vitality, became utterly indiscriminate.
With a loud bang, Zheng Yichen saw a golden figure flying towards the distance like a meteor. He did not linger here, but immediately followed. This fit right into the Boundary Breakers’ intentions.
While Zheng Yichen couldn’t directly drive them out of the Overgrown Wilderness, the Boundary Breaker who was as hard as a rock was an ideal target - sending him flying was not difficult.
The flung Du Gang roared, facing an over four-meter tall figure approaching. While resisting a punch from the adversary, the golden glow of the saber sliced off the giant’s arm, eliciting an even louder roar.
Meanwhile, Du Gang, under the force of this punch, was propelled even faster towards the distance. The arm of the giant, once severed, quickly withered and decayed, and the wound exhibited a similar state.
Moreover, his life force rapidly drained away, unstoppable, and if he didn’t leave the Overgrown Wilderness soon, he would be returning to the Hall of Heroic Spirits.
He wanted to leave, but Zheng Yichen, rapidly closing in, did not give him the chance. Life Lock-on, Malice Lock-on, and Life Suppression - a series of abilities to weaken the enemy while enhancing his own strength converged on him.
The black giant saber swiftly swept across the Boundary Breaker’s body—
