"He must die!" said the blonde man seriously as he looked at the information relayed back by the surveillance drone. It was normally impossible to shake the Sky Pillar in that world, yet Zheng Yichen had sohow managed to attack the Sky Pillar directly and damage it.
If it were any other formidable power, he wouldn’t have given it much thought and would simply withdraw; after all, no substantial loss would have occurred. Even in the worst-case scenario, they would have broken even; at most, it would have affected their profit margins.
But the biggest problem was that the power used in Zheng Yichen’s attack had the sa origin as the Sky Pillar’s.
They didn’t know how Zheng Yichen had accomplished all of this, but they were clear on the substantial threat he could pose to them; after all, he was a Proxy Agent.
Aren’t Proxy Agents precisely the kind that Dusk exploits to exhaustion? That ant that in future operations of this kind, Dusk would keep assigning Zheng Yichen, and he would beco a regular thorn in their side.
Looking at the black spear in Zheng Yichen’s hand and its shimring light, the surveillance drone analyzed the power’s essence and confird it originated from the energy of the Sky Pillar.
The area beneath the Sky Pillar had been blasted with very visible cracks by Zheng Yichen, which had affected their side as well, primarily by blocking the passage.
The efficiency of their extraction had significantly decreased.
"Report this matter imdiately, or this Proxy Agent will beco one of our most troubleso adversaries in the future."
The blonde man’s assistant quickly finished the report, and they received a prompt response; soon, adequate reinforcents would arrive to assist them.
Seeing this, the blonde man let out a sigh of relief. It was good that the higher-ups were paying close attention to this matter. He looked toward other areas, realizing that the Sky Pillar wasn’t unique to this place; far in the distance, he could see other beams of light piercing through the skies.
They were neither Boundary Breakers nor part of the Equilibrium Faction but represented another kind of growing power.
Among the three forces, they were the latest to start, but so things don’t depend on an early start. The Boundary Breaking Faction was concerned with absorbing other worlds, while the Equilibrium Faction aid to break down the ’barriers’ between all worlds and unify them, eradicating any fluctuations.
In that scenario, the top powerhouses would always remain at the top without the risk of being eliminated due to Environntal Adjustnt.
Instead, they had chosen a more straightforward approach of ’plundering.’ Each of them had their own thoughts and plans, their aspirations were different, so naturally, there was no question of joining forces. In fact, there was significant conflict between them.
Whenever they encountered each other, it was with the intent to kill.
Their developnt model was similar to that of the Boundary Breaking Faction of The Great World, but entirely different in practice. The Great World was focused on absorption, taking everything into its fold, hence the main world of the Boundary Breaking Faction is known as The Great World.
They, on the other hand, aid for a higher standard and quality, not simply to expand while improving standard and quality, because an expansion ans slower and harder advancent in terms of standard and quality.
Under the existing frawork, improving quality and standard was much easier. As long as they had enough world resources to continuously upgrade their world, that was sufficient. Any surplus ’material’ was simply discarded.
The Great World might have a large volu, like a ton of steel, but they aid to beco like a hundred grams of gold. If the quality and standard of their world reached a level beyond the limit, then wouldn’t the top powerhouses that erged in such an environnt be able to ignore the constraints of Environntal Adjustnt?
After all, once you transcend the nonexistent limit, breaking the rules of limitations, can the original rules still apply?
A few minutes later, a streak of light descended beside the blonde man. In their world, normal transportation was ant for ordinary people.
Below the Sky Pillar, Zheng Yichen looked at the inactive surveillance drones protected by a layer of light film, impervious to other attacks. He had held back when attacking the Sky Pillar, mainly because he was wary of soone coming after him.
Otherwise, at the current rate, he would break the Sky Pillar in no more than four days.
If no one interfered, he felt this mission might be the easiest one, right? Apart from getting contaminated with so nuclear radiation, there would be no other trouble.
With that in mind, a column of light bombarded from the sky, and feeling the pressure, Zheng Yichen swiftly dodged. After receiving the energy from the Sky Pillar, he felt the environntal constraints had weakened, primarily because the energy from the Sky Pillar seed to be additional energy.
But this weakening didn’t an it had disappeared. After all, his body had a limited capacity to endure, and exceeding the upper threshold could either cause him to explode or turn into a massive crystal.
The impact caused by the light column hitting the ground rapidly spread, sweeping away the soil and revealing an interconnected network of illuminated strands below the surface, resembling plant roots.
The energy attack had a weak effect on those strands.
```
Zheng Yichen then looked in the direction from which the attack ca; the attack had originated from within the dense clouds. A pillar of light had pierced through the cloud layer, leaving a huge void. Through that void, Zheng Yichen saw sothing akin to an otherworldly phenonon.
"Sure enough, nothing is unrelated to the phenonon," Zheng Yichen said, spinning the black spear in his hand, which was covered with intense light. The fierce winds swirling around the spear made the thrown weapon even swifter, directly blasting into that cavity.
In another world connected to the Sky Pillar, a man raised his hand to catch the oncoming black spear. Hovering midair, he retreated a distance backward, looking through the clouds at Zheng Yichen with a grave expression.
He could now thoroughly confirm that Zheng Yichen had indeed utilized the Sky Pillar’s energy, but the thod was completely different from theirs. The power of the Sky Pillar wasn’t so easy to wield; mishandle it and you might beco part of the Sky Pillar.
"I’ll go over," he said.
"Lord Moss, wouldn’t that be too risky?" said the blond man with so hesitation.
He had seen the powerful fighter who ca to solve the problem repelled by Zheng Yichen’s attack.
The environntal level of their world was very high, and even if the attack from the other side had been affected by Environntal Adjustnt, this exchange seed to have put them at a disadvantage.
"Mobilize all the ard forces nearby and crush him!" Moss said coldly, having deliberately taken that last strike.
The power of the blow was significant, and even though he had employed so techniques associated with the Sky Pillar, it had still forced him back. This ant that Zheng Yichen’s use of the Sky Pillar’s energy was far from strained; not only was the utilization rate high, but he also didn’t need to establish any connection with the Sky Pillar.
What was the point of keeping such a Proxy Agent alive?
He wouldn’t even bother to go over and talk more with Zheng Yichen; arranging enough forces to crush him would suffice. So, Zheng Yichen felt like cursing on his end.
When Moss appeared, he had thought of fighting the boss, but as more combatants appeared, Zheng Yichen started to feel that sothing was amiss: these people had no sense of fair play, planning a group assault.
And they were different from the Boundary Breakers, who were directly placed into a world and then had difficulty receiving any support thereafter. It seed they were directly connected to the main base that was siphoning energy from this world, where they could air-drop a whole bunch of people into battle.
Did this an they could bring in an army at any ti?
"Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?" Zheng Yichen said as he looked at the people who had appeared, the corner of his lips twitching with irritation. He could fight ten or twenty people, but they’d sent over a hundred, and they even brought combat units like puppets and robots.
They slid down through the light mbrane hanging from the Sky Pillar.
Fortunately, their numbers didn’t increase further, seemingly due to the need to pass through the phenonon.
Still, the sheer number of people overwheld Zheng Yichen, especially since the person who had attacked him earlier ca through the light mbrane and now had concentric ripples around him, from which beams of light were fired.
Zheng Yichen swung his black spear, sending several Wind Blades straight at those beams of light, but the Wind Blades shattered upon impact, utterly outclassed in strength by the beams of light. Seeing this, Zheng Yichen gave up using Elents manipulation altogether.
He knew he was up against a true formidable opponent. In the current environnt, the energy attacks launched by the opponent were still powerfully substantial, and not sothing he could counter head-on with the special abilities gained from blood absorption.
The fire dragon had also told Zheng Yichen that ordinary spellcasters didn’t consider much when releasing magic; as long as the spell was cast, that was all that mattered. However, skilled spellcasters had a further, more refined control over their spells, adjusting the structure of their magic during casting. With the sa consumption and the sa spell, they could alter the magic’s structure to achieve a more effective result.
In simple terms, it’s like using the sa piece of iron to hit soone. Ordinary spellcasters just aim to throw accurately and with enough force to strike the target. Skilled spellcasters, besides being precise, can alter the iron’s shape, transforming a lump of tal into darts, arrows, or other shapes with blades and points for greater lethality and advantage in terms of speed and air resistance.
Currently, Zheng Yichen was at the stage of simply hurling an iron block. His advantage was that, compared to average spellcasters, he threw with greater accuracy and more brute strength. However, he lacked the finesse that skilled spellcasters possessed, as he didn’t have the foundation.
Of course, if Zheng Yichen were more formidable, he could overco spells with sheer force, but such an approach would be costly. He couldn’t afford to expend several tis more energy just to counter a single attack, could he?
It would be better to fight in a way that suited him best.
A pale-red aura spread from his body, and Zheng Yichen shattered an incoming beam of light with a punch. Without considering the external special powers, he was quite confident in his Burst Mode, which was directly related to his physical abilities.
Moreover, thanks to beings like the Supre Demon, his body’s Performance Coefficient had been further enhanced. In the current environnt, breaking such attacks was not difficult at all!
