"It’s ti to divide the dragon at!" Zheng Yichen’s business was filled with an excitent he himself hadn’t noticed, as the black spear was quickly drawing blood from the dragon’s body, the dragon’s body starting to erode and dissipate from the tail.
"...Forget it, I won’t eat a creature with intelligence." Du Gang shook his head. To him, the act of bloodsucking was one thing, but eating talking creatures felt bizarre.
This dragon was intelligent, yet belonged to the Boundary Breaking Faction and harbored great hostility towards them. It initially tried to kill them but, upon realizing it couldn’t win, it tried to escape, which Du Gang had so difficulty intercepting.
The dragon was strong, but after Zheng Yichen joined the fight, the outco was different.
The coverage of the Death God Domain cut off the possibility of the dragon’s escape, allowing them to quickly and decisively finish it off.
"Will you eat?" Zheng Yichen released Tanshia Firlo, but the small white dragon vigorously shook her head. Though not a giant dragon like her, it was still a dragon, and she certainly had no intention of eating it.
Nevertheless, she tried to lift her claw, and the dragon blood that had fallen and pooled on the ground was gathered toward her.
As a dragon that was hatched from Zheng Yichen’s blood, Tanshia Firlo inherited so of Zheng Yichen’s strength.
She had a part of Life type abilities, Blood type, and a deteriorated Essence of Life. Zheng Yichen’s Essence of Life replaced his marrow, while Tanshia Firlo’s deteriorated essence existed in the form of ’essence blood’.
After gathering the scattered dragon blood, she showed a look of indulgence, then imdiately shook her head, raised her own Holy Relic of Life, and absorbed and digested the blood through the Holy Relic without touching the dragon’s corpse.
"This dragon looks just like your daughter," Du Gang sincerely remarked as he watched Tanshia Firlo absorbing the dragon blood.
While she did this, he sensed an aura similar to Zheng Yichen’s strength emanating from her.
But right after he spoke, he noticed the small white dragon seed to glare at him briefly. After cleaning the scattered dragon blood, she pulled out her Apocalypse Stone Ring and jumped back into the internal space.
"It doesn’t look so much like a corpse anymore," Du Gang comnted on Zheng Yichen’s current state, saying a dragon... devoured by Zheng Yichen like a greedy mythical creature, with only remnants left intentionally by Zheng Yichen.
Dragon horns, dragon whiskers, dragon tendons, dragon scales...
"We’ll split these half and half, and share them after we reach Dusk."
"You can keep it all if we can get back," Du Gang said earnestly: "Let’s move quickly."
Now their advantage was that the Breakworld Organization from the Great World seed to have lost control over their movents, allowing them to move more freely within the vastness of the Great World, recover, and reach Dusk.
Although their tracks would definitely be exposed eventually, later was better than sooner—the later, the closer they would be to Dusk.
"How’s the recovery going?"
"...About one-fifth."
"That little?" Du Gang couldn’t help but frown.
Zheng Yichen gave a grinning smile that looked sowhat grim: "That’s already a lot. What’s dragging down now are the injuries and exhaustion—the recovery from bloodsucking mostly goes into that."
"...Just how ruthless is the Heavenly Punishnt?" Du Gang began to doubt his earlier estimates. He had thought he could withstand a few minutes without damage, but now it seed he had overestimated himself.
"Pretty ruthless."
They set back on the road. Since the Great World had lost track of them, even if so Breakworld agents reported their discovery, they couldn’t pinpoint their location exactly. Zheng Yichen and Du Gang shared the sa plan—to make good use of this advantage and get as close to Dusk as possible.
Not long after they resud their journey, within a palace, a sound of angry shattering echoed, as the domain master watched a nearby floating crystal, which had already shattered with the dragon shadow inside dissipating.
There were eleven other crystals around, each containing a corresponding creature of the twelve zodiacs, yet the dragon was broken. Had one of his cultivated zodiacs died?
More importantly, such a significant event had occurred yet no information was sent, which ant the people there were either neglecting their duties, which was unlikely, or they were attacked and wiped out too quickly to send a ssage.
"Who is it!?" thought the domain master, considering the Proxy Agents. After contemplating, he could also see the traces of the Demonic Abyss left by that slash. The Proxy Agents capable of such attacks were not the ones he wanted to face directly.
Or rather, after the Eye of the Heavenly Law suddenly went offline, he did not want to confront that kind of Proxy Agent.
He tried to contact the headquarters, but the feedback was chaotic—the headquarters itself appeared disrupted by the sudden Eye of the Heavenly Law’s offline."
He wanted to transfer to the place where his developed Zodiac perished, but it had been severely damaged and the Teleportation Array couldn’t be used, so the only way to get there was slowly.
Zodiac, a single Zodiac isn’t compared to Tai sui killed by Zheng Yichen, but when these Zodiacs co together, it’s a different story.
Each Zodiac he had cultivated had gone through at least three Breakworld events, not like the exceedingly rare six Breakworld events of Tai sui, but three are also rare, and he had twelve of these beings.
Cultivating them naturally consud a large amount of resources, but now one had died, aning he needed to replenish it quickly.
Not grouping these Zodiacs together was because they would produce a unique Resonance when close to each other, and staying together for extended periods would cause a special homogenization.
Although their individual forms weren’t affected, the combination of the twelve Zodiacs would beco fixed, aning the twelve Zodiacs he had cultivated could no longer further strengthen through Breakworld events.
When needed, temporarily bringing them together could unleash a power not inferior to the homogenized Strength, with plans to separate them again after the battle ended.
According to his plan, the ideal scenario was for each Zodiac to reach five Breakworld events before beginning homogenization. Three? Though strong, he had ambitions; his minimum was four, best was six...
However, six was too demanding; he didn’t have enough ti or resources to attempt creating twelve Zodiacs that underwent six Breakworld events.
He estimated that five was the limit and that required so luck; if not fortunate, he’d manage only so with five and so with four Breakworld events.
Now, with the loss of a giant dragon, one fewer three-Breakworld Zodiac, aning he needed to cultivate another dragon, although he had spare dragons, all of which had only passed through one Breakworld event.
These weren’t in his great domain but were spread out in the Boundary Breaker worlds serving as Boundary Breaking cores.
Only about one-fifth of the creatures associated with past Boundary Breaking cores return, which he deed lucky.
He sighed deeply; the combination of the twelve Zodiacs was broken, and now pursuing and intercepting Proxy Agents wasn’t significant. It could lead to complications, and more importantly, without the Eye of the Heavenly Law online, it was difficult to concentrate high-end forces against the opponent.
Him, a domain master, against two Proxy Agents? Irrational!
But arranging for his subordinates to investigate was necessary.
Back on the road, Zheng Yichen saw many riding alien orcs, searching widely for sothing, but those people struggled to track Zheng Yichen’s whereabouts; his motorcycle was too fast, and its spatial twisting motion didn’t strongly disturb the air.
Soone might sense so minute traces, but the mont they detected Zheng Yichen, he would be hundreds of miles away—detecting him was useless; they couldn’t catch up.
"Ah, why hadn’t I thought to get a decent vehicle before?" Du Gang said sowhat disconsolately. Traveling was tedious, and on this journey, Zheng Yichen hadn’t encountered any sufficiently strong life forms.
With Zheng Yichen’s current physical state, being unable to kill a sufficiently potent life form ant no aid to his injuries.
The Life Force gathered was akin to fighting a boss, with bollet damage reduction and without breaking defense, even forced blood deduction wasn’t possible; gathering Life Force wasn’t useless, but rather like grinding through chanisms.
Once he got through, the boss would automatically break defense and then be assaulted, but he didn’t have the ti for that.
Thus, ’little fish and shrimps’ were directly spared.
"It’s not too late now. As a senior, you must be rich, right?"
"What good is that?" Du Gang clicked his tongue. He did save quite a bit of rit points, but once equipnt enhancent reached a certain level, miscellaneous items beca sowhat useless; even abundant rit points had limited utility with insufficient superior materials.
Leave identical coordinates in storage cabinets? So worlds were worth staying in, while others were akin to wasting rit points by opening.
He indeed possessed so quality items, but if the motorcycle being prepared was benchmarked to Zheng Yichen’s, it wouldn’t stand a chance; he had no materials related to space nor anything that could provide a massive stable energy source.
However, the items could be traded with natives, starting from where Zheng Yichen’s motorcycle originated.
As for how to trade, it depends on the demand; if urgently needed, his side could directly use rit points through Dusk to create special items and trade with the corresponding worlds or pay the official Dusk rcenaries on the other side.
Yet even so, benchmarking Zheng Yichen’s motorcycle still fell short, even with a budget of about 100 rit points.
More investnts were not impossible, but they were unnecessary. A vehicle, not strong enough to assist in battles, over-investnt was simply a waste.
Yet, an excellent vehicle’s role in critical monts couldn’t be ignored.
Just like Zheng Yichen’s current state, without this motorcycle, just the long-distance movent alone could be deadly.
