The fragnt can wait, let Lilith analyze this thing later.
The summoning ritual in progress ended quickly, and a few minutes before it ended, he had seen so sinister spirits lurking in the distance, appearing as if they could flee at any mont, which made Zheng Yichen too lazy to pursue them.
Better not go after them, in case they directly attack the summoning formation.
The ineffective summoning magic array formation dissolved back into scattered light, and a pale red ball floated in mid-air, making Zheng Yichen shake his head in resignation—another ball.
Looking at the ball over three ters in diater, Zheng Yichen rubbed his hands together and walked toward it. As he approached, the ball started to quiver, and a dense network of cracks appeared on its surface.
A hand erged from the ball, slender and elegant. Zheng Yichen’s eyes widened; it seed his recent fervent desire might be coming true?
This hand appeared to be a right hand. When a second right hand stretched out, Zheng Yichen’s expression grew even more expectant. Could it be twins? They know him too well, don’t they?
When the third right hand stacked on top of the others appeared, Zheng Yichen’s expression went numb, and he couldn’t help but glance at the weapon on his person, suspecting the Battle Maniac Asura, battered by those Supre Demons, hadn’t moved on to reincarnation but instead had clung to him, beginning to show signs now.
"A Thousand-Ard Avalokitesvara wouldn’t be too bad..."
In the end, what materialized in front of Zheng Yichen was an entity with twelve arms, over three ters tall, genderless yet beautiful. Thankfully, it didn’t sprout several extra legs.
Looking at this being, Zheng Yichen scratched his head: "What kind of entity is ta?"
"A very special one, boss. I detect energy signatures similar to those of Supre Demons on him," Lilith explained.
"Supre Demon? That’s sothing I can handle. But what about the one in front of ," Zheng Yichen said, staring at the being with twelve hands. He could directly relate to the other through soul control, but this connection was different from the ones with other spirits.
This special being also had a connection with the land, and the connection between it and the land took priority over his control over spirits.
"What’s the situation here?" Zheng Yichen tried to touch the apparently ’selfless’ Heroic Spirit with the fishing rod and successfully drew ta into the soul space inside the rod.
There wasn’t a peep from ta in the soul space, but in terms of strength, it was very powerful—just a notch below the cat spirit, still far surpassing Cerberus and the white ball trying to escape from being an ornant.
"Not bad at all, keep it up," Zheng Yichen said as he opened the Gate of Death and left Hell.
Only then did the sinister spirits that had been watching from a distance dare to gather around. They sniffed the air, which was unusually potent, and one of the spirits landed below where the red egg floated; its feet imdiately lted away as the spirit scread, but none of its companions seed inclined to help.
The other spirits hurried away from the area even faster, showing palpable unrest. An existence that greatly restrained the sinister spirits had appeared; this entity was not rely a threat to so of them—all the spirits instinctively sensed the danger.
A Sword of Damocles hung over their heads, as if it might fall at any mont to claim their lives.
"We cannot allow that human to continue!" The anxious sinister spirits planned to unite and completely eradicate that unstable factor.
Originally, they wanted to bewitch and dominate that human, but he had consecutively produced things that made the Evil Spirits uncomfortable. The first ti, the white ball caused many spirits to feel an innate discomfort from a great distance.
Now, what he produced was even more outrageous, aiming for their lives.
However, Zheng Yichen had shown such formidable combat strength that he blew up the major Evil Spirit that had lured them, so what more terrifying thing could he co up with next?
"Hey~ Let’s do a few more while I’m on a roll." After leaving the Gate of Hell, Zheng Yichen planted the fishing rod on the ground, and several summoning rituals made of Black Light and White Light were embedded in the earth. The size of the summoning rituals didn’t affect the result much; what mattered most was the input.
But his luck wasn’t great; the White Light Heroic Spirit summoning rituals only produced mushy marshmallows, which couldn’t compare to the white ball used as an ornant, having only basic instinctual reactions. The Black Light Evil Spirit summoning rituals, on the other hand, did spawn a bunch of small monsters.
"What... where did it go wrong? I put in quite a bit; how did it end up with so little?" Zheng Yichen said, sowhat speechless as he pinched a few of the white ’marshmallows’. Seeing that White seed quite interested, he passed the things over.
White pounced on them and devoured the failed products of the summoners just like eating marshmallows, leaving nothing behind. After the feast, White seed much livelier, previously only capable of rolling and creeping, but now it could hop and bounce around.
"Well, the failed product has been turned into dog food," Zheng Yichen pinched the white ball, which now felt even better in his hand. The little thing was so portable that there was no need to put it away, so he placed it back on the handlebar of the car. Zheng Yichen took out the fragnt, "Let’s check this thing."
"Understood." The motorcycle produced an opening, into which Zheng Yichen placed the fragnt. A projection screen appeared before him, displaying so basic detection information, such as strength and material.
The object was extrely strong, made of an unknown material, and it carried a very dangerous contaminating force. This force was sowhat similar to that of an Evil Spirit, yet it was purer. So far, the only thing that could compare to this purity was the white ball.
"White is much weaker in demonstrating pure orderliness than it. By calculation, I’ve attempted to restore the missing part of this fragnt."
Zheng Yichen looked at the missing part, his expression subtle, "If I’m not mistaken, this thing seems to be a bone, or part of a finger?"
"That’s correct. Considering the special Evil Spirits this object can draw out, I suggest the boss could collect more and bring it to Dusk for identification; it might serve as a unique strengthening material."
"...I’m already so much in the underworld," Zheng Yichen rubbed his forehead and caught the fragnt that popped out of the Universal Toolbox, "A single fragnt can summon such special Evil Spirits, wouldn’t collecting the whole thing allow to defy heaven?"
"The probability is extrely low." Lilith said in a very certain tone, "This is just a small part of the fragnts. The fragnts you obtain in the future might not match this one."
"Low is fine. The phase state it exhibited is intriguing, and I want it."
His fishing rod was already impressive, and after being strengthened by Sky Pillar’s energy, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a Divine Artifact. But if it weren’t for the fishing rod’s and his own abilities to distort space, fighting this Evil Spirit would undoubtedly be very passive.
An attack with an added spatial distortion allowed him to land at least half of his strikes on this special Evil Spirit. Without this power’s addition, he probably wouldn’t hit one in ten.
"Let’s go. We’ll first do a field inspection. It’s not too late to collect afterward. We have plenty of ti this ti around," he stretched his body, "Now let’s find so wild beasts infested by ntal Aberration creatures. I need to restore my condition."
Having ample ti was being capricious; with enough ti, he could grow and improve better in this world. The large amount of rit points stored was ant to be used at tis like this, wasn’t it?
There was no looking back in previous worlds, no talking about getting good things and then imdiately going back to strengthen them. He had many bold ideas, like during the summoning ritual, in addition to inserting native Evil Spirits and enough Soul Power, he could add sothing else.
For instance, the ntal Aberration creatures that erged due to the influence of his demonic thoughts on the environnt. Such creatures could also be seen as a unique additive.
Furthermore, without using the power of the fishing rod, he could start his own summoning ritual just to see what kind of existence would erge.
There were many ideas, all of which required ti to implent.
After stopping and going, on the fifth day, Zheng Yichen arrived at his destination. Along the way, he had wanted to farm so Evil Spirits in Hell, but it seed that the Evil Spirits there had gotten the news and ran away as soon as they saw Zheng Yichen.
No need for smooth talking, the more Zheng Yichen intercepted them, the faster they fled. Eventually, as soon as he opened the Gate of Hell, only so ntally impaired ntal Aberration creatures were left behind; their numbers were not many. Evil Spirits had the ability to influence ntal Aberration creatures and had taken many with them as they fled.
Zheng Yichen was rather frustrated by this. While camping out in the area, he encountered so souls that had appeared in Hell. These souls could be considered lucky, appearing in a part of Hell devoid of Evil Spirits, thus avoiding imdiate demise.
In the end, Zheng Yichen packed up all those souls and took them away, not that he needed to; otherwise, as soon as he left, those souls would certainly beco food for other ntal Aberration creatures and die anyway.
Taking them away with him was much better. Once he left this world, he could just pick another one and dump those souls into that world’s Hell.
Stowaways might stow away, but souls don’t seem to need any visa to enter the Hell of other worlds.
"Seventeen," using the motorcycle’s projection disguise and thermal vision, Zheng Yichen observed the concealed beings around him. He could now see his target, a city overrun by Evil Spirits.
Yes, a city, not a town or a village. From a distance, he could see the anomaly of this place; the sky was gloomy, and everything seed isolated from the outside world. From outside, it was one scene, while inside seed to be another situation entirely.
Zheng Yichen saw seventeen Evil Spirits, disguised as humans, laughing and talking with the city’s ordinary people.
The disguises of those Evil Spirits were rather crude, yet the people interacting with the Evil Spirits acted as though they were blind.
