Inside the fishing rod’s Soul-Subduing space were always stored a vast number of souls, and Zheng Yichen had never thought he would face a shortage of souls, let alone consider the possibility of using up the sealed ones!!
But now, he wished he could use even those soul fragnts and crystals, although the Hellfire he released required a minimum of complete souls to function.
Within the dark purple Chaos Mist, once the Hellfire was completely dissolved, souls exposed to the environnt could not survive, rendering their recovery impossible.
After unleashing several waves of Hellfire, he ran out of souls to use.
"What in the world are these things??" An Oath Keeper exclaid, eyes wide as he gazed at the green-flad Stone People, "Dusk rcenary sorcery?"
"Who knows? Those Dusk rcenaries aren’t from our world, so it’s normal for them to have so special and powerful thods, right? Can you still hold on?"
"...Physically I can, but I feel like my ntal state is not doing so well," the robust Oath Keeper gasped for breath. The intensity of the Fervent Blood Life kept him in peak physical condition, but ntally, he was starting to struggle with the continuous combat.
"With these green-flad Stone People, we can at least get so rest... Let’s take a break, we can fight longer that way."
Another Oath Keeper spoke up, "Fighting longer is pointless, we need to figure out how to get close to those largest Chains of Oath. Soone just saw an area where the Chains of Oath had been severed, creating a huge gap.
And that Dusk rcenary who joined the fight doesn’t seem to be doing too well; so of us could hear the enemy’s roar from a distance, like a monster."
"...Could it really have turned into an Oath monster?" the robust Oath Keeper looked in another direction, where the Mist was thick, and he could only discern a hazy figure—an Oath monster. So far, the surviving Oath monsters demonstrated maximum potential in their ability to live.
As they destroyed more Chains of Oath, they grew increasingly powerful, which made them wonder how to deal with the Oath monsters after the Oath Beasts had been dealt with?
Oath Beasts, because of the world-ending Oath, granted these Oath Keepers unprecedented enhancent. Without this, they would probably return to normal, but the Oath monsters would not regress to their original state.
"Do you think, the Oath monsters count as part of the protection of the ecosystem?" another hesitant Oath Keeper proposed, as they had truly started resting, even if just a few minutes to relieve so ntal pressure was beneficial.
And these few minutes would enable them to fight longer.
"What do you an?"
"So of the Oath monsters that charged in have been completely dissolved, while those remaining seem resistant to the influence of the Mist. It appears they grow stronger with each destruction of the Oath Beast’s Chains of Oath. If they are not destroyed, they seem to be specially designed to counter the Oath Beasts.
Does it look like the Oath monsters were created to prevent this situation?"
"You sure have a lot of ideas. Following your logic, wouldn’t we, by becoming Oath monsters at the last mont by breaking our Oaths, be able to eliminate the beast faster??"
"In fact, I’ve sensed so of our companions have already chosen to break their Oaths."
"...How damn ironic, breaking the world-saving Oath at this ti to save the world!?"
Crack—
A loud crack caused the entire Mist area to tremble, prompting the Oath Keepers present to halt their discussion: "What just happened?"
"Heaven... has it split open?" the Oath Keeper with the sharpest senses looked towards the sky, eyes widening as he sharply detected unusual movents in the Mist. It seed as if a vacuum environnt was pulling at the Mist, gradually expanding its reach.
"What?"
"I’m saying heaven has split open! Literally!!"
As more cracks resounded, the entire Mist area began shrinking from the outside perspective, also revealing the previously concealed sky area above the Mist, where a gigantic rift appeared with extensions of the Chains of Oath visible around its edges.
The fading ends of the Chains of Oath bore traces like shattered glass, with the rift expanding along those lines—
Suddenly, a blood-colored figure wielding two weapons radiating with bloody light, slashed at the Chains of Oath with fierce speed, severing them en masse, eliminating the fractures and further reducing the size of the Oath Beast, restoring it to the size of a town.
The Mist also thinned further, revealing more Oath Keepers fighting within. So appeared nearly frenzied but gradually ca to their senses after escaping the Mist.
However, the Oath monsters were still rampaging against the Oath Beast, their attacks lacking the strength to shatter the largest Chains of Oath, only able to gnaw at them with incredibly low efficiency.
And the fog near those large Chains of Oath was even denser, the bodies of Oath monsters in those areas had already started to disintegrate under the power of the mist.
"Which Dusk rcenary... is so desperate?" Staring at the blood-drenched cloaked figure, an Oath Keeper stood agape, wondering whether this was their ho world or the Dusk rcenary’s ho world.
Looking at the other Dusk rcenaries, although they weren’t slacking off, they didn’t seem quite as desperate...
"Cough, cough, that’s not a Dusk rcenary, that’s a Proxy Agent." A Dusk rcenary nearby coughed lightly and, with a sense of relief from narrowly surviving, said, had the zone of mist not suddenly contracted, he might have really dissolved into it.
"Proxy Agent?"
"It’s too troubleso to explain, all you need to know is that in a world crisis, native people may not fight to their deaths, but Proxy Agents definitely will!"
"Bullshit, which of your damn eyes didn’t see fighting for my life!" The robust Oath Keeper roared with wide-open eyes.
The yelled-at Dusk rcenary didn’t care, as everyone’s ntal state was not great after a prolonged period of high-stress combat. He shook his head, "Rather than fussing over this, you should pay more attention to the changes in the sky. This world might be finished..."
"Is that the Boundary Breaking?" Another Oath Keeper asked, frowning as he looked at the crack. He indeed felt a strong unease, but it didn’t quite look like the world was about to be destroyed.
The Dusk rcenary was also puzzled as he said, "At least it looks like Boundary Breaking. Let put it this way, Boundary Breaking is when the entire sky collapses completely in a very short ti, no more than half a minute, and it cos with a strong world-class spatial tremor. Under such tremors, less than one percent of all life in the world would survive.
Look at that Oath Beast’s special chains; if it continues to grow in size and causes the number of those chains to increase, they should spread all over the world. Once the ends of the chains crack and connect together, the outer layer of this world will shatter instantly like glass hit by a hamr."
Considering the growth rate of this Oath Beast, without the desperate suppression by the native Oath Keepers and the presence of that Proxy Agent, it probably would grow to the Boundary Breaking magnitude in a day or two. A Dusk rcenary had calculated that the growth rate of this thing is exponential!
If you don’t suppress it at the very beginning, then forget about it, and just wait for death.
"But how could the world, including the universe, break so easily?"
"Think of it as a person dying after their heart is ripped out," replied the Dusk rcenary, unwilling to waste ti explaining too much on this subject—it would be a whole load of talk.
The crack in the sky, though it hadn’t expanded any further, had not disappeared either!
Having said that, he couldn’t help but look in another direction where there were three young girls, who were the most desperate fighters among the Dusk rcenaries. Judging by the aura of power emanating from them, they seed to originate from the sa source, likely practicing a type of power.
It was that kind of power, fierce and brutal magic, which didn’t quite match their pretty appearances.
After shifting his gaze back, the Dusk rcenary felt that this ti they had encountered a series of complications. If they could successfully resolve the crisis of this world, he could boast massively among his peers afterward. Having successfully handled the situation in a crisis would allow them to say whatever they wanted, and it would even feel exhilarating.
But that would be after they succeeded.
In the sky, the appearance of the fracture had stopped expanding, but the pressure inside was still very strong, making others who were worried feel an overwhelming stress, puzzled why nobody was coming out from inside...
That crack made the knowledgeable Dusk rcenaries realize that it was probably not a formal Boundary Breaking, and they couldn’t help but wonder if the Devouring Faction had coincidentally bumped into it at this ti.
But it didn’t look much like it from the crack.
The style of the Devouring Faction was a thick, vortex-like cloud in the sky, followed by a massive pillar poking through the center of the cloud.
If it wasn’t the Devouring Faction, it was most likely the Boundary Breaking Faction. If it were people from the Equilibrium Faction, those things would be like hidden treasure chest monsters in a ga, very rare to encounter. But once you ran into one or two, or a whole team took them down, it was like hitting the jackpot. Anyways, the rewards were generous, and they were easy to deal with.
So, the question was, what was the Boundary Breaking Faction purposefully stirring up this ti with this crack? Half a day had passed, and no one ca down; were they just setting up this rift to scare people?
Looking at the blood-soaked, rampaging shadow that blocked the crack, so Dusk rcenaries couldn’t help but mutter, could it be that the powers of the Great World had turned coward?
"The invasion channel won’t last long, what are you hesitating for?" In the Great World, a man in a black robe looked at the blood-colored figure blocking the other end of the rift, speaking to his colleague with a sullen face. There were many people gathered here.
After all, the number of tis for forcibly initiating invasions wasn’t small, but neither were they very frequent. People who were idle popped by to join the excitent, after all, invasion ant that the world was as good as theirs, and it implied a blatant looting was about to happen.
The issue, however, was the current situation seed different; they had never encountered being blocked at the door before!
This blockage was very dangerous!
