I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature

Chapter 1532 - 1081: Betrayed, Part 2

The degree of compatibility between the black substance and Zheng Yichen was incredibly high, reaching an extreme level that allowed his Sword Nourishing Technique to be maximized.

In summary, as long as it’s sword-type weapons, within an extremely short time, they can reach 70% of their maximum strength, and the remaining part has to be slowly nurtured.

Once the true limit is reached, the rapid increase in strength will gradually slow down, marking the stage of breaking through the limits.

Before reaching the boundary of breakthrough, it’s like some strong adhesive, initially reaching a high strength rapidly, with the remaining strength only reaching the highest level after some time.

The influence of the Sword Nourishing Technique made the weapon he formed from black substance more resilient, fundamentally avoiding the issue of not using black substance in high-end battles.

The black substance wouldn’t shatter easily in battle, bringing some convenience to Zheng Yichen... well, it was actually just that much.

He could seize the initiative, and given enough time, the weapon’s strength would increase, but he couldn’t carelessly discard the weapon after use as he did before.

Even the newly formed weapon still needed the Sword Nourishing Technique for enhancement, requiring perhaps a dozen seconds despite the fast initial speed.

In an instant battle, there wasn’t much time, but when the Star Gods were stunned, that wasn’t an issue.

The two black great swords rapidly reached a relative level of improved strength, and Zheng Yichen’s figure vanished from the gaze of the Star Gods.

Only a large area of spatial distortion was left where he stood, and wherever Zheng Yichen passed, the ground ruptured, turning into a region of energy vacuum.

Even the Star Gods could hear the ’whistling’ sound from the ground being erased, not the sound of air, but the tearing sound generated by the vacuum’s pull on the normal environment.

"You bastard, you forced us into this!" An angry roar echoed from all around the sky.

This was the sound that came after the Star Gods finally decided after Zheng Yichen’s second strike.

They decided to break the boundary, as the destructive power of Zheng Yichen’s second strike was even more terrifying.

Nearly a thousand Star Gods were completely obliterated by this strike, and the remaining Star Gods realized how Zheng Yichen executed such an attack.

The land was not being cut away for destruction, but to gain a dangerous power which could directly confront the Star Cluster in this world.

Otherwise, how could a single human contend with the Star Cluster by himself??

From the moment they were born, there had never been such a situation, never a threat where thousands of stars fell within such a short time.

But now, a human had made them experience such a threat, leading them to use the ultimate solution, to personally complete the boundary breach.

As for the Extermination Order, it didn’t matter anymore, as there wasn’t enough time, and no matter how desperately Dusk called for reinforcements, it was just that.

Moreover, when they broke the boundary, they primarily relied on those external Boundary Breakers to fundamentally avoid the issue of the Extermination Order.

Only...

"What, what’s going on?" As Zheng Yichen’s third strike came down, creating a new scar from the Demonic Abyss in the sky, the Star Gods’ more shocked and angry voice arose.

They discovered that the situation was gradually slipping out of control.

It wasn’t that there was a problem with the Boundary Breakers, nor that the captured Dusk mercenaries seized the opportunity to rebel, and it wasn’t that the disguise in the sky was torn apart allowing the Dusk mercenaries to cause chaos.

Rather, the Boundary Breaking core that had been transferred onto themselves could not be separated, nor could they accelerate the core’s boundary-breaking progress.

Conversely, when they attempted to do so, the core’s progress instead became slower.

"You, you were in cahoots all along!?"

Some Star Gods, in their anger, began to ’realize’ some issues, the Boundary Breaking core’s unexpected changes were beyond their expectations, and the inability to separate the core was the worst of it.

This meant they were now individual Boundary Breaking cores, not carriers that could discard them at will, which was completely different from the information they had received.

According to their thoughts, by dividing the core into so many parts, they could, when necessary, use the Star Gods’ power to achieve widespread resonance, and significantly shorten the boundary-breaking time.

They were the top-ranking Star Cluster of this world, with their cooperation, completing a boundary-breaking should be easy.

Zheng Yichen now recklessly swung the slaughtering blade at them, they wouldn’t indulge him in this.

Dividing the core into so many parts, combined with resonance, should have allowed them to complete the boundary-breaking at lightspeed before Zheng Yichen delivered his third strike, and let Dusk collect this Proxy Agent.

But everything changed after the third strike.

The Boundary Breaking core had surpassed their control, even with full resonance, what was the outcome?

Only slightly accelerating the snail-paced boundary-breaking process, much slower compared to before.

At this rate, they would need to maintain this state for over half a year to complete the boundary-breaking!

Weren’t they just being played?

The Star Cluster never thought the Boundary Breaking Organization and Dusk were in cahoots, given memories from both sides showed they were supposed to be mortal enemies.

Especially the Proxy Agent, who, when with the Boundary Breaking Organization’s people, was only a fight to the death.

Of course, they weren’t from the Boundary Breaking Organization and wouldn’t mind if Zheng Yichen completed his task, provided he chose to ’submit’.

"Hahaha, got played, haven’t you?" Zheng Yichen burst into laughter upon hearing their angry voices, he had seen such situations before.

In the world of the Ancient Venerable, the rulers of the Unified Imperial Dynasty also thought they could manipulate and exploit the Boundary Breaking Organization, but what happened? When the Ancient Venerable took action, they realized they had been outmaneuvered, ending in disaster.

Zheng Yichen wasn’t sure what situation the Star Gods encountered in this world, but apparently, their frantic barking indicated the Boundary Breaking Organization had heavily played them.

And this trap was related to the boundary itself, Zheng Yichen noticed the countdown, initially small, was now rapidly growing, as if a meter was ticking backward.

It went from rapidly diminishing to less than two days initially, to rewinding to eight months, such a significant change was quite satisfying for Zheng Yichen, as it meant he now had ample time to deal with these Star Gods.

According to Zheng Yichen’s plan, he intended to consume one opportunity to preserve himself, to offset this mission failure, and within this period, eliminate as many Star Gods as possible.

The number of Star Gods was too great, and since they weren’t operating on a planet, it was unrealistic for Zheng Yichen to eliminate them in two days.

But now, with time extended to eight months, it’s a different story; even if half the time was reduced, Zheng Yichen could still massacre all the Star Gods in this world.

At least those carrying the Boundary Breaking core had no chance to escape.

Zheng Yichen felt joy in his heart but also puzzled about the Boundary Breaking Faction’s strategy, why did they execute such an operation?

Unable to figure it out for the moment, he simply continued with what he needed to do; after all, the task had to be completed. As long as he could slay these Star Gods in the shortest time, there would be no further issues.

The two increasingly dark and heavy black great swords dragged across the ground, and the soil shattered completely wherever the sword edge passed.

Through the power gouged from the devoured earth, they merged into the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills with Zheng Yichen’s attack.

Filled with murderous intent, Zheng Yichen’s Demonic Abyss Seven Kills grew stronger with intense demonic thoughts, and the balance of attack consumption also changed.

Now, attacks that previously required devouring more land could be accomplished with just a portion.

The stars in the ever-growing Demonic Abyss began fleeing, and the Star Gods who realized they had been outsmarted, some had lost the will to fight.
