"I feel like we’re just moving in circles here," Du Gang said, slapping away several approaching Hell creatures with a palm strike. "Don’t you have spatial power? Think of sothing."
They had been in Hell for several days, during which they crossed many Hell Islands and encountered various Hell creatures. These creatures harbored intense malice toward the living, specifically targeting him, while Zheng Yichen seed to be in his elent in Hell, as if he were at ho.
"I do want to think of sothing, but my spatial power can only distort space," explained Zheng Yichen, waving his hand and causing a subtle ripple through the surrounding space, clearly warping it.
"You’d better be careful. I have a limited number of holds, and when ti is up, I won’t be affected, but you will," Du Gang said, exhaling a breath of air with a tinge of helplessness.
They were currently following the markers of Dusk, yet despite the clarity of their objective, they had been swiftly journeying for days without finding an exit, given the vastness of space within Hell.
He was determined to protect Zheng Yichen, but in this situation, he felt powerless, and it was an issue that sheer desperation couldn’t solve.
"I’m anxious too; it’s just that this place is really not easy to get out of," Zheng Yichen said, swinging his fishing rod. Breaking through the space of Hell forcibly wasn’t impossible.
His weapon had been strengthened by a spatial paradox crystal. Such an enhancent allowed his weapon to strike directly at space itself, and the Soul-Subduing space within the weapon underwent corresponding changes.
Using a bit more strength, he might be able to break the space of Hell, yet such a break might allow them to leave, but it couldn’t ensure where they would end up next, and they might even drift in spatial turbulence for a while.
A task that needed careful execution.
"I’m pretty confident in my Vajra Body. If we have this thod, let’s use it quickly!" said Du Gang, brimming with confidence upon hearing Zheng Yichen’s new plan. "Otherwise, running in circles here won’t do either."
Their direction was undoubtedly correct, but the problem lay with the chaotic space. Their progress could be suddenly diverted by spatial disturbances, and even Zheng Yichen’s equipnt, which could anchor and stabilize space, was helpless if a distortion occurred beyond its stable range.
"Ah, I wish to et a powerful entity here in Hell, but it’s a sha I haven’t encountered one yet."
Zheng Yichen sighed, as he had only t weaklings these past days, providing him no significant improvent. If there were strong entities full of hostility in the Hell of the Great World, he would surely aim to eliminate them and siphon their strength for his own enhancent.
That way, he could better handle any sudden situations in the outside world.
Indeed, he couldn’t stay here too long. If the plan to level up in Hell failed, then it was ti to try leaving.
Drawing the fishing rod, he struck the space in front of him, and the sound of rupturing echoed. Zheng Yichen’s eyes twitched slightly; space was not sothing to be trifled with lightly.
Without the appropriate power, any output toward space was just like striking air, only affecting space through sheer volu, which was highly inefficient. With the power of space, the direct attack on space beca significantly more effective.
At least it ensured that his strength didn’t equate to attacking the air.
As he struck, fine cracks erged ahead, leading Du Gang to exclaim jubilantly, "Good! Do it again... careful!"
Golden light radiated from him as Du Gang blocked an energy blast surging from afar, but the attack didn’t stop; a black flood spread, scattering the ruptured space inflicted by Zheng Yichen.
"A master has arrived," Du Gang said, sowhat speechlessly. Perhaps the commotion caused by Zheng Yichen had drawn over a master from Hell. He didn’t strike back imdiately but instead bellowed, "Who are you?"
A dark figure appeared a hundred ters away, surrounded by a swirling black aura and a strong whiff of Hell that emanated from it.
Du Gang felt as if he was being ignored, with the figure’s attention focused primarily on Zheng Yichen. "Of course, I’m your enemy. Neither of you will leave here."
The shadow gazed at Zheng Yichen. He had ties with the Boundary Breaking Organization of the Great World, but they rely had a cooperative relationship. The organization had brought him special news—a Proxy Agent had co to this world, and he wasn’t too interested in Proxy Agents.
He had no vengeful thoughts after his original world had been swallowed by the Great World; to him, it even seed like a good thing.
After integrating into the environnt of the Great World, his strength had increased, reaching realms he had once found unattainable. As for those who died due to the boundary break... it didn’t matter. The weak didn’t deserve to live.
Initially, he wasn’t interested in the matters of Proxy Agents, but after seeing Zheng Yichen, he felt the Great World had sent him a great gift.
Du Gang, that iron lump, wasn’t his concern, but Zheng Yichen was different—he had strong affinity with Hell and the Power of Death. He felt it was ti to switch to a new body.
This body had been used for over a thousand years. Getting a new, better one would not be a bad idea.
"I’ll take him on," Zheng Yichen stared at the dark silhouette as he spoke to Du Gang.
Du Gang took a step back, "Then I’ll leave it to you. I’ll deal with anyone else who cos."
The environnt in the Great World was too superior. It was very easy for powerful beings to encounter other powerful beings. Even Proxy Agents couldn’t act as they pleased here.
"I’ll try to make it a quick battle."
Zheng Yichen kept his eyes on the shadowy figure and took the initiative to strike. As he approached, he directly unleashed his Death God Domain.
"Hmm? Are you also a god?" The shadow expressed surprise but did not seem panicked by being drawn into the Death God Domain. Reaching his level of power, he also had sothing similar to a domain, though its manifestation was different.
But all roads lead to Ro—the Power Systems were different, but as long as the effects were similar, it would do.
Within the Death God Domain unfolded by Zheng Yichen, black energy around the shadow spread out like shooting stars, forcefully embedding his strength into Zheng Yichen’s Death God Domain.
Zheng Yichen also saw a new way to use power—the shadow’s ’domain’ involved directly embedding strength into the environnt, sowhat like laying out a magic array formation.
It might be less flexible, but the exhibited power was higher, and this embedding thod also had an anchoring effect. Zheng Yichen felt his Death God Domain was nailed in place.
The Death God Domain was not only difficult to retract but also to move. It could only shrink or continue to expand, but the shrinking area could not reach the edge of the anchor.
In the instant that the shadow neared, Zheng Yichen reversed the attribute of his Death God Domain, which suddenly transford into a Life Divine Domain.
The shadow, closing in on Zheng Yichen with the Power of Death, was imdiately petrified. The Death God Domain had beco the Life Divine Domain, subjecting him to extre suppression. The enveloping and invading aura of life caused the thick black Power of Death around him to disperse, revealing a pale body.
And facing him was Zheng Yichen, who burst forth with intense Life Power; the Scarlet Aura flad like fire, marking his body with dense scorching traces.
The Life Divine Domain elevated Zheng Yichen’s Life Power to an extrely high level, and being a being with potent Life Force, his Life type abilities also underwent a qualitative change with this elevation.
The erupting Scarlet Aura, like the fire of life, and the Life enhancent ability reached an unprecedented level in this elevation.
He had acquired the power of Life Suppression not long ago, a power that would hardly affect the shadow. As a Hell creature with the Power of Death, he possessed an alienated Life Force that was resistant to Life Suppression.
Yet Zheng Yichen also possessed alienated Life Force that could receive the Power of Death.
The unleashed Life Suppression completely overpowered the approaching shadow who widened his dark Eyes as the Power of Death erging from his body was just as quickly scattered by the approaching Scarlet Aura.
A black spear pierced through him, transforming in form to pin the shadow like a hedgehog.
His pale body, riddled with scorch marks, rapidly withered and petrified, while a massive black shadow was still firmly nailed onto the black spear, enduring much longer than his body, lasting a good ten seconds before completely dissipating.
Zheng Yichen’s extraordinary abilities included not only draining blood but also Soul Devour. He had tried it out when he picked up a Skeleton head; the jellyfish-like being was also similar to a soul, but the feedback from devouring souls wasn’t particularly noticeable.
Unlike the body, where absorbing the blood of a powerful creature led to imdiate and visible transformation, even multiple enhancents of the soul side were hard to manifest outwardly.
The benefits were not absent, though; soul-related attacks were less effective against him. Other aspects? He didn’t have ntal attack thods nor did he have soul combat techniques.
After his soul grew stronger, the most significant effect to date was withstanding the Scythe of Death from Death God Halers.
Zheng Yichen had a considerable demand for souls. He could Soul Devour, and due to his soul control ability, he also needed to store so souls for his own strengthening, and soul control was related to the Death type—killing Halers had enhanced this ability.
The more souls stored in the Soul-Subduing space, the more evident his enhancents. To consu all those souls would be wasteful. Mainly because his own soul was strong enough, swallowing those souls would bring him no improvent. Instead, keeping those souls around would provide additional Strengthening.
But the soul of this shadow was strong enough. Now that he was in the Great World, he couldn’t afford to keep it if he needed to grow stronger.
