Chapter 915: Chapter 654 Speaking too lightly

The Dusk milestone didn’t seem to change much from any point of view, it was very noticeable yet one couldn’t judge the distance through it.

So Zheng Yichen wasn’t clear how far away dusk was, but the fact that he hadn’t encountered any attacks or interceptions on the way made him feel that the "Single Oblivion Slash" he wasn’t sure had worked, had taken effect.

As a result, the enemy couldn’t appear near him in some direct space-spark soldiers way, allowing him to steadily move forward.

"Boss, a special mountain has been spotted ahead."

"Hmm... What kind of mountain?" Zheng Yichen asked listlessly.

"It seems to be some kind of turtle shell."

"..." Zheng Yichen thought for a moment, "I remember when I slashed down, indeed a bastard’s shadow appeared in the sky, but that thing had no presence."

The Black Tortoise Xuanwu? Even if it were, that thing appeared on his opposing side, it’s still a bastard!

Presence? The shadow appeared quickly, but what presence could it have after being slashed in an instant?

"Let’s go over!"

"...Boss, your current physical condition is very poor, I do not advise doing this." Lilith felt her cooled-down core heating up again.

"Sigh — I won’t hide it from you, I could enjoy another slash." Zheng Yichen exhaled, his languidness turning to vigor, "So let’s go check it out."

"Following your orders."

The motorcycle moved forward in a straight line, and as they approached, Lilith observed more information: it was indeed a turtle shell, but the shell was fractured, and it accounted for about one-third of the whole according to her analysis.

Based on the size of the turtle shell, the original body of this turtle was much larger than the mountain Zheng Yichen had encountered.

At the fractured part of the shell was an enormous blood-colored lake—that was blood...

"Ah... I feel like I’m coming back to life!" Zheng Yichen’s eyes gleamed as he arrived beside the Blood Lake, his black spear eagerly plunging into the lake, his happy expression instantly vanishing.

The Blood Lake, left by the injured Black Tortoise Xuanwu, should have contained a huge Life Force, but upon contact, Zheng Yichen’s assessment was that it was bland, with intense demonic thoughts in the lake and remnants of the aura of Oblivion.

The aura of Oblivion was eroding the quality of the Blood Lake; it still contained strength, but it was no longer what he needed.

If he had come here two hours earlier, maybe it could have made him feel a lot better, but now, it was just like drinking water.

Even if he drained this Blood Lake, it wouldn’t improve his physical condition by much.

Not only that, there were some demons by the side of the Blood Lake, likely spawned from the mixture of demonic thoughts from the Single Oblivion Slash and the Blood Lake, devoid of intelligence and in appearance, capable of evoking negative images associated with demonic thoughts.

These demons didn’t attack Zheng Yichen as he approached; instead, those witless creatures were worshipping him from a distance...

Their fierce and ferocious appearance could invoke associations of all sorts of unpleasant demons, yet when facing Zheng Yichen, they expressed their ’humility’ as best as they could.

Du Gang, who was observing through the projection screen, silently pondered for a moment before sincerely saying, "...in that world of Immortality Cultivation, you are somewhat a Supreme Demon."

"You’re speaking too modestly." Zheng Yichen glanced at those demons, thought for a moment, and unbound the bandages on his left arm, causing Du Gang to twitch as a mass of dissolved flesh and blood oozed out from the unwrapped bandages.

"Although you’re in quite a mess, I still have to say this is really disgusting..."

"Having gone through so many battles and seen so much, can you still find this scene disgusting?" Zheng Yichen was slightly taken aback but didn’t stop his actions, as the dissolving flesh and blood was enveloped by a dense Chaos power, indistinguishable from each other; after which, Zheng Yichen threw the dissolving matter into the Blood Lake.

He added a bit of ’seasoning’ to this Blood Lake.

As for why he chose Chaos power, it is naturally because this power is ’comprehensive’ enough to be used for any type of attack or defense. Whilst it might fail due to a lack of intensity, even a failure could ensure effectiveness!

A failure would only be due to insufficient strength; increase the intensity, and it immediately becomes effective.

"It wouldn’t be disgusting if it were an enemy, but you’re not an enemy."

"Can you still say that?"

Zheng Yichen threw the clump of dissolving flesh, now one with the Chaos power, into the Blood Lake, and the entire Blood Lake immediately began to boil.

Those Demons who bowed before Zheng Yichen plunged into the Blood Lake with aberrant howls, and the whole Blood Lake boiled over.

Unable to bear the Hell mural before his eyes any longer—his vision was bloody enough—he did not want to witness an even bloodier scene and so he set off again.

Du Gang suddenly asked, "Why aren’t you using that method that can destroy the earth? That method could help you recover, right?"

"No, the earth isn’t a living being; my body can no longer afford to convert its Life Force."

Zheng Yichen exhaled, explaining that converting the earth’s vitality into Life Force required transformation, and the problem was that his body was almost broken, like a machine on the verge of scrapping.

Many functions were unusable, and devouring the earth’s vitality could at most be used as Energy to be consumed in attacks. To recover oneself?

With no ability to convert Life Force, how could he recover? After all, he wasn’t one of the Stone People or some kind of Earth Elemental creature.

"Is it really that bad?" Du Gang looked worried: "Even if we don’t encounter enemies now, we’ll be intercepted when we truly approach Dusk. When the time comes, I will try to help you open a gap; do you have the strength to make it to Dusk?"

He was very doubtful of Zheng Yichen’s current physical condition.

"Let’s wait until we face that kind of blockade. At the very least, if we encounter it, it means we’re not far from Dusk."

Zheng Yichen, enduring the soreness in his eyes, looked into the distance, down the long, long road...

"Boss, we’ve found a mountain range, with numerous signs of life inside," Lilith suddenly said.

"Head there first," Zheng Yichen said without hesitation. Along the way, they had encountered forests, but all the flora had withered away, and there were no living creatures; the remnants of the Single Oblivion Slash hadn’t spread this far.

However, the residual strength had still affected a large swath of the environment ahead; Zheng Yichen’s path had been aimed at the Dusk milestone.

Now encountering a mountain range teeming with life, it seemed the aftershocks of the Single Oblivion Slash had ended here.

Hmm... The Demonic Abyss spanned four great domains, and the aftermath that did not leave a mark had spread almost one full great domain; Zheng Yichen himself felt so incredible that he hardly seemed human.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but want to strike another Slash, accumulating the Oath power of the Obliteration Oath!

Zheng Yichen, his inner demons stirring, felt his bone-white arm tremble, eager to find a target worthy of drawing the sword for another slash! An unworthy target was fine too; as long as he could swing, that was all that mattered.

To cut down a man, to cut down this heaven and earth.
