Chapter 994: Chapter 721: Providing Resources to Boundary Breakers
After bypassing the thing that resembled a summoned beast, Zheng Yichen saw a bunch of identical behemoths staring at him, thankful that the area of the Central Tower was large enough.
Otherwise, having so many behemoths watching him would feel somewhat crowded.
With a punch, Zheng Yichen hammered the ground, which trembled ferociously without collapsing, making him raise his eyebrows involuntarily and increase his strength, followed by a loud boom and screams.
In the lower levels of the Central Tower, the staff who had not yet evacuated were running around with their heads in their hands, as they had basic protection.
The application of the Eye World ensures that ordinary people within it do not seem so fragile. In terms of transportation, their Eyes even come with emergency safety airbags that pop out without thinking after a car accident.
This device is connected to the person’s spirit, so it cannot be easily interfered with or invaded. The ’Eye’ device can be used as an electronic device and can also be invaded like one.
However, apart from its built-in firewall protection, it also has a spiritual protection linked with its user, which is the core defense of the ’Eye.’ To genuinely invade it, one must first invade the target’s spirit.
But if one can invade the target’s spirit, then there’s no need to affect such a small plugin.
"Excuse the interruption, if you don’t want to die, run faster!" The roar of the behemoths behind Zheng Yichen made him appear even more ferocious, prompting the Central Tower staff to run faster than one another.
Those evacuation devices indeed broadened Zheng Yichen’s horizons.
As the behemoths behind him charged, Zheng Yichen lightly raised his eyebrows and swung his fishing rod to release his ’summoned beast.’ Having mastered the application of the Eye World, the ’summoned beast’ he released was not a manifestation of his own mental power, but it was connected to him through soul control.
Therefore, what Zheng Yichen could see in the Eye World, they could also see.
The ashes silhouette, ice crystal, and light spike sea urchin are the most powerful summons at his command. As for half-werewolves and silver light alien shapes, they are more like elite monsters, numerous enough not to require a detailed count.
The Eye Pupil of Life... umm, this thing is used for assistance, and its enhancement effects on Heroic Spirits and Evil Spirits are average. It’s more effective for beings with life. The white ball... uhh, this thing can be used as a World Order weapon.
But most of the time, it’s a cute Divinity creature. World Order weapons work well against Chaos creatures, but against regular creatures, it’s not as effective as Zheng Yichen wielding his own unique weapon in combat.
Nonchalantly stuffing the white ball, which was just making up numbers, into his arms, Zheng Yichen looked at the dozen or so behemoths, all cloned from the same mold, and slightly grimaced. He then looked at his own side, including the cat spirit, feeling that their aura didn’t seem as strong.
The ice crystal had a decent appearance, but the others... the ashes silhouette was an Evil Spirit, the light spike sea urchin a hybrid of a half-Heroic and Evil Spirit, and from their appearance, they weren’t up to any good, while the cat spirit was a spirit of curse.
Our own people would find a black cat quite cute, but to the enemies, it was a terrifying entity. Whose cat is several meters tall?
"Attack!"
Piercing cat screeches, eerie cackles, the screeching friction of light spikes, mixed with the ’silence’ of the ice crystals, while on the other end, the monsters’ roars were uniform. However, these monsters showed different instincts when attacking.
Some were more extreme, others more cunning, as if they were not of the same species.
Zheng Yichen reached out and grabbed a barricade, blocking a barrage of bullets that swept over from a short distance away.
There’s a lot of leeway for manipulation within the Eye World, especially when not restricted. His ’Eye’ was a cracked version with no civilian safety limitations. As long as he had sufficient understanding of something, he could mentally manifest it.
The strength might not match the original, but once manifested, the ’Eye’ could store information for future manifestations, without needing to rebuild the model. Everyone in this world, given the chance, could achieve an Infinite Sword System...
Of course, that would require the help of the ’Eye.’ Without it, one would still be an Immortality Cultivator lacking visual effects.
Clashes and clangs of impacts sounded as he blocked an assault wave and then flung the shield in his hand outwards. The thrown shield, like a dart, smashed into the head of a behemoth.
As the body of that behemoth began to crumble and disappear, Zheng Yichen sensed a peculiar spiritual energy residue.
This spiritual energy residue was like the currency of the native world?
What’s this? Realizing something, Zheng Yichen’s eyes widened: "Holy shit..."
He comprehended the Boundary Breaker’s idea: currency linked to the spirit of the natives, circulating along with the digital currency, and the people of this world possessed special spiritual power.
Even with the flow of the Eye World’s digital currency, there wouldn’t be any loss, at most just a continual dispersion tied to the bound currency portion, yet the quantity would not change at all.
If digital currency that has been distributed to other places is put into a treasury, it will still amalgamate together. Hence, this kind of digital currency is like gold in that whatever amount you have is the amount you possess.
Even if someone really could synthesize gold, as long as it is gold, it has corresponding value.
"I’m starting to feel that things are getting complicated," Zheng Yichen muttered softly. The Boundary Breaker had collected at least fifty years’ worth of ’digital currency’ in this world. With billions of people in this world and all kinds of daily consumption...
All of that is providing ammunition for the Boundary Breaker.
Zheng Yichen could also feel that after the behemoth was dispersed, those floating pieces of spiritual power were being collected—easily harvested by the Eye World activated by the Central Tower.
After Zheng Yichen took down another behemoth, the Black Light in his hand spread out, contaminating the residual spiritual power scattered about. The collection by the Central Tower immediately came to a halt.
Normal residual spiritual power can be collected, and although some of it will be lost, the rest won’t go to waste. However, remnants tainted by the Black Light can’t be used; they will contaminate the entire pool.
"Be careful of that light! It’s a virus!!" Among the security team, an Energy type warned his allies.
One of them blocked the Black Light Zheng Yichen swung at them with a Shield in their hand, only to see their own Shield start to blacken, as if rusting and crumbling at an accelerated pace.
They had no choice but to throw away that Shield and manifest a new one, although creating such Shields consumed a significant amount of energy. Normally, manifesting one would last a long while and could be reclaimed after the battle.
Watching Black Light swing his way once more, the shielded guard immediately felt the urge to curse. This man had no sense of fairness, he thought, as several Shields got blown up consecutively, leaving the guard panting heavily.
Consuming too much spiritual power, which also revealed a limitation of the Manipulation type. The weapons and equipment built by the Manipulation types could be preserved and reused for a long time, with very low consumption during attacks.
But if they were destroyed, the consumption would be huge.
Now, the guard was somewhat overwhelmed, but Zheng Yichen’s attack did not let up. The erosion of the spirit by the Black Light was significant. The products of spiritual power manifestation encountering Black Light were like facing their natural nemesis.
"Heh heh heh heh—" Zheng Yichen chuckled lowly. He understood why Dusk had chosen him to come to this world—Black Light was exceedingly effective here.
Powered by spiritual power as its core to drive mental power manifestation?
Fine, let’s first withstand his Black Light assault and worry about the rest later. Against spiritual power, Black Light acts like a fierce mental virus. Those with firm wills could still resist. Even if the quality of spiritual power in this world was extremely high, Zheng Yichen’s strength was professionally matched.
The behemoths were also products of spiritual manifestation and had less resistance to Black Light than the security guards. The guards’ attacks and equipment were linked with their own beings, receiving enhancements from their personal will.
They consequently had extra resilience against Black Light and could hold on, but only for a bit longer.
No matter how abundant spiritual power is, without sufficient will, it is nothing but dead matter. After realizing this, Zheng Yichen wasn’t so worried about what he might face later on.
The planet’s core might have strong energy, but if we talk about greatness, he is greater. He possesses autonomy of will, whereas the planet core, despite its vast energy, lacks conscious volition. That’s the difference.
Unchecked gold buried underground isn’t money, just an undeveloped mineral resource.
Of course, that doesn’t mean he lowered his guard. Since he’s facing a Boundary Breaker, surprises are bound to happen. What if they came up with some other strange things?
Being relaxed doesn’t prevent one from being cautious.
"How much longer can you all last?" Zheng Yichen snapped his fingers, triggering Black Light to emit all around him. Upon contact with the walls, it immediately rebounded. The Eye World visible to ordinary people equated to a fictional scene.
Similar to AR enhancement, while this VR-like environment is akin to a domain, using an anime term, it could be called an ’Inherent Barrier’. Maintaining this kind of Eye World requires additional spiritual power consumption.
It’s somewhat akin to Lilith’s projection, though her physical projection doesn’t require spiritual power to generate.
The Eye World environment here, generated by the Central Tower, possesses physicality. Even if the environment is altered, it doesn’t hinder the contact of the Black Light. Once the Black Light contacts and refracts off the walls, the affected areas also get tainted by Black Light.
The refracted Black Light continues to approach other targets, forcing the security guards to awkwardly dodge within their environment.
As elite warriors handpicked by the world, they had never been so overwhelmed, let alone by a single person. How many types has this young man cultivated? Transformation type, Energy type, and even the theoretical Summoning type? It would appear the opponent also dabbles in Manipulation type, based on the Shield he easily summoned—this made more sense as practically anyone could encompass the Manipulation type.
