Chapter 919: Chapter 658: Whoever Stops Me Dies

"It’s too serious," Ming Yue said as she looked at the destroyed land and couldn’t help commenting on the barrenness she felt on the ground.

The environment was like a black hole, with light distorting slightly around the edges of the barren zone, where desolation devoured everything. The torn edges of the land were still crumbling slowly but continuously.

The crumbling was happening at a slow pace, but the scars left on the ground almost spanned an entire great domain. At this rate of slow consumption, the great domain would eventually be devoured completely.

They had already slowed down upon approaching the starting point of the Demonic Abyss, and now they were in observation mode, with the people inside the shuttle of light beginning to collect information.

At the starting point of the Demonic Abyss, the sky was even darker, devoid of stars. The areas covered by the Demonic Abyss had become a special taboo land, a place of chaotic spatial distortion where Demonic Abyss Scars showed no natural signs of dissipating.

If they didn’t deal with this thing, in the future, this cut would become a barrier between several great domains. Domain masters from those domains wanting to reach the other side would either have to take a detour or use teleportation. Pass through the sky?

It’s a nice thought, but this cut harmed the skies of the Great World. The region covered by the Demonic Abyss is essentially a no-fly zone. To fly over it, one would still have to pass through this Demonic Abyss.

Yue Heng looked at the sliced land and said nothing. This place was far from her own great domain, after all, and the connection between the great domains is ring-shaped. But as the number of rings increases, so does the number of great domains quickly.

The center is where Dusk is located; there’s only one great domain, with three surrounding Dusk’s great domain, and beyond that, the number of domains exceeds ten.

This doesn’t seem exaggerated in the Great World. The Boundary Breaking Organization has been developing for so long in the Great World, and they have annexed countless worlds. Even if some territory is lost during the annexation, some worlds are so extensive that after being annexed, they can expand to cover more than the area of one great domain.

Zheng Yichen’s cut started from the Tenth Ring and likely ended around the Fifth Ring. The straight line connecting the two points was the shortest, and it was normal for it to cross several rings. The Demonic Abyss pointed towards Dusk if Zheng Yichen had been closer, that cut might have directly collapsed Boundary Breaking Organization’s defenses encircling Dusk.

She was one of the domain masters of the Twelfth Ring; the distinction in ring numbers does not mean there are problems with the resources of the great domain they belong to. Some single-digit ring domains may not even compare to the resources of the domains beyond the Twentieth Ring.

However, the closer the ring numbers are to Dusk, the higher the level of attention from the headquarters. The resources within the great domain remain unchanged, but the degree of favor from the headquarters varies.

In essence, it was about being close to the source of power. The Eye of the Heavenly Law could cover vast areas, and often distance seemed meaningless. But, to use the teleportation of the Eye of the Heavenly Law, one must first reach the Eye of the Heavenly Law.

Within the Fifteenth Ring was the quickest access to the Eye of the Heavenly Law, holding the advantage of convenient transportation. After the quenching of her strength, she actually could squeeze into the Eleventh Ring, but she chose not to.

After all, people could move, but their great domain was much harder to shift. It’s not that transferring a great domain was impossible, but it came at a high cost. If she could directly transfer to within the Seventh Ring, she would consider it.

Otherwise, let it be for now.

"Lady Yue Heng, we can’t approach the Demonic Abyss; people have encountered trouble getting too close," a visibly tense scientific researcher reported.

Not to mention the Demonic Abyss itself—just getting close to the eroded barren zone caused problems. People in that area suffered severe discomfort, with ongoing degradation of bodily organs.

Approaching the Demonic Abyss directly led to severe mental issues.

"Then collect data within the safe area. If it’s the aura of the Demonic Abyss, gather more of it."

After speaking, Yue Heng walked towards the region of the Demonic Abyss. She wanted to feel the power of this cut from a closer distance. As she approached the Demonic Abyss, Ming Yue saw Yue Heng’s flawless moonlit body become tainted with black...

Watching this scene, Ming Yue was at a loss for words. Although Yue Heng didn’t seem as obsessed anymore, her current risky attempts indicated that her superior still cared deeply about certain matters.

A small piece of the starting point of the Demonic Abyss had been consumed; Ming Yue didn’t know what that implied. Watching Yue Heng return, she felt her superior had a demonized aura, her immaculate moonlight tinged with a faint dark purple.

Yue Heng’s expression remained cool but held a hint of agitation.

"Lady Yue Heng..."

"I’m fine; I’ve just had some insights," said Yue Heng with an icy voice.

She followed the path of pure strength, but because her strength was so pure, it became increasingly difficult to enhance her strength further after reaching a certain point. Influence from external forces?

Her power was so pure that external influences were almost ineffective, only Zheng Yichen’s black reversal light had managed to provide additional enhancement to her moonlight. But the purer the strength, the more difficult it became to be affected by other forces.

Subsequent improvement required her slow and steady refinement. However, after coming into contact with the Demonic Abyss, her insight was that since external forces had little effect on her moonlight, why not influence from within—let the power affect itself?

Her strength was too pure, giving her an immense resistance to mental influences; negative mental effects were simply shattered by her pure moonlight.

Yet the Demonic Abyss here was different; it could influence her, allowing demonic thoughts to affect her being, causing her pure strength to wane. With this as a foundation, she endeavoured to purify the moonlight once more.

"..." Ming Yue maintained her silence, knowing that such enlightenment as Yue Heng’s was dangerously profound.

"Someone else has arrived." Yue Heng, who had suppressed her demonic thoughts, had a hint of dark purple in the depths of her eyes.

She looked in another direction—it was the domain master of this great domain. As for his expression... there wasn’t much to say; it was dreadful, to say the least. The ineradicable Demonic Abyss, and the Overgrown Wilderness where the earth had been stripped away, had left his domain in tatters.

He probably wanted to change his great domain, but all the domains within the Twelfth Ring were packed. It wasn’t impossible for him to switch, but if he did, he would have to move beyond the Twentieth Ring.

Beyond the Twentieth Ring... there were many, many empty spaces, where one could easily find an unclaimed land and rule over it like a king.

Perhaps because she had been steeped in demonic thoughts, her power was no longer pure, but her senses in some areas had intensified. The domain master of this great domain had ill intentions.

Though the domains within the Twelfth Ring were fully occupied, a vacancy in domain mastership could permit a switch. Moreover, now that the Eye of the Heavenly Law was offline, some things became much easier to accomplish. But she was not that easily bullied, was she?

Yue Heng thought it over briefly and quickly realized that the impurity of her power made her aura unstable; the immersion in demonic thoughts weakened her control over her power, which to others might appear as if she had been injured.

"So lively around here?" another voice came through, and Yue Heng dispersed the moonlight in her hand.

With a smile on his face, Hong Yuan landed. Inside, however, he was somewhat surprised. Upon arrival, he had seen Yue Heng looking ready to fight. When had this woman become so irritable? And her aura... it seemed somewhat off.

Demonized?

"What are you doing here?" Yue Heng asked.

Hong Yuan replied with a smile, "Of course, to confirm some things up close; remote observation can be somewhat inaccurate."

He cast several protective spells on himself, not giving the Demonic Abyss even a glance, but instead went to the stripped land that had been locked and conducted some tests. Afterward, he revealed an enlightened expression.

"As I thought... the stripped land is still continuously producing Oath Power." Although his research on Oath Power had been interrupted, he had been paying attention to the Oath world for more than a decade. Even if the research was on hold, he had amassed a lot of knowledge.

It wasn’t difficult to sense Oath Power; on the edge of the Overgrown Wilderness, each damaged patch of land would leave behind faint traces of Oath Power formation.

"What’s going on?" the domain master of this great domain asked, furrowing his brow.

Indeed, he wanted to change domains. His own had been pierced by a Proxy Agent’s single strike, affecting not only the stability of the domain itself but also his status as a domain master.

That single strike had shaken his connection to his domain master status and this great domain. Within a domain, a domain master is akin to the manager of a nuclear power station, supported by mobile spring water. But now, because of this strike, the springs were leaking, and the power station had a bad connection...

To return to the original state, one would have to figure out how to get rid of the Overgrown Wilderness and the Demonic Abyss. But how to get rid of such a strong trace of the Demonic Abyss?

And the Overgrown Wilderness, which might seem less severe than the Demonic Abyss, was actually much harder to deal with. What use was there in keeping this great domain?

But now that Hong Yuan was here, the plans he had been entertaining were foiled. Yue Heng was a domain master, but she was not in her own domain; she was within his.

"The Proxy Agent who made this strike possesses Oath Power, which means that the destruction he caused with that strike allows him to strike again..."

The domain master of this great domain fell silent, then asked, "Are you so certain?"

"Of course. I’ve studied Oath Power for so long. Too bad the Great World couldn’t consume that world." Hong Yuan couldn’t help shaking his head. If the Great World could have assimilated the Oath world, with his research, he could have applied to incorporate that area into his own great domain.

For this, he was even willing to give up the opportunity to enter a more inner ring.

Unfortunately, it was a failed endeavor. After his plan fell through, his research on Oath Power was set aside. Still, seeing the Proxy Agent wield that kind of power to such an extent, Hong Yuan was burning with desire.

He wished he could capture that Proxy Agent and dissect him for research. However, this was merely a fantasy. His starting point for coming to the Demonic Abyss was to attempt to uncover more secrets related to Oath Power from here.

He hoped luck would allow him to understand the secrets behind the Proxy Agent’s use of Oath Power. Indeed, he had detected an abundance of traces of Oath Power’s formation here, but that was like nuclear radiation residue. Experiencing radiation on the scene didn’t mean he had obtained a method to create nuclear weapons...

Hong Yuan was very disappointed, yet he was certain: "If that Proxy Agent doesn’t make a move, then fine, but once he really takes action..."

He looked toward where Dusk was hold fort, fearing that the commander guarding the Dusk region might soon meet his end.
