Chapter 2523  Leave a Breath

The demonic seed Ophiel, usually a proud presence, became somewhat submissive in front of Fang Heng. It spoke softly, “We’ve tried many times, but the outer crystal protective layer is incredibly tough; there’s no way to break through…”

Just then, Ophiel’s eyelids twitched slightly.

Fang Heng flipped his wrist, and a searing Holy Light began to emanate from his palm.

The Holy Court’s artifact, the great sword!

Without hesitation, Fang Heng raised the great sword and swung it at the crystal pillar in front of him.

Boom!

The divine great sword struck the crystal pillar with a resounding impact, causing the entire structure to tremble violently. A blinding wave of Holy Light erupted from the point of contact, quickly radiating outward and dispersing the surrounding pollution black fog.

Even Ophiel was forced back a half-step by the sudden surge of divine energy.

Staring at the explosion of Holy Light, Ophiel’s eyes widened in disbelief.

What on earth!

Holy power!

How could a demonic seed use holy power?

Ophiel was still in disbelief when he looked up and saw Fang Heng raising the divine long sword once more.

F*ck!

Ophiel jumped back in shock, quickly retreating.

Here it comes again!

“Boom!!!”

Fang Heng raised the holy long sword once more and struck it down hard against the crystal!

…

At the same time, on the top level of the Star Mage Tower, the star magic array began to shake violently.

The orderly flow of the magic array in space was thrown into chaos, as if turbulent currents were rapidly swirling around.

The elder guarding the tower suddenly opened his eyes, filled with uncertainty.

What was happening?!

How could such a strong anomaly occur within the sealed space?

Could it be related to the Death God that had just been sealed?

“Elder…”

“Silence! Focus your energy!” the elder commanded sternly. “Consume the ancient brand! Activate the seal with all your might!”

“Understood!”

…

Boom!!!

Within the sealed space, the holy light rippled and exploded once more.

Almost simultaneously, intricate spell runes reappeared throughout the entire sealed area.

The runes swirled like stars in the vastness of space, illuminating the dark hall.

The aura of pollution quickly faded under the influence of the occult power.

Then, the weight of the star suppression pressed down on Fang Heng, making his shoulders feel heavy.

The demonic seed, Ophiel, sensed the danger and shouted, “They must have noticed the anomaly outside and are applying suppression on us!”

“Hmph, suppression…”

Fang Heng let out a cold laugh, gripping the holy weapon’s great sword tightly once more, and swung it forcefully forward.

“Boom!!!”

After several consecutive strikes, the trembling crystal finally emitted a cracking sound.

Ophiel felt as if his own heart trembled in sync with the crystal pillar.

Following the sound, he saw a small piece of crystal fly off from the pillar, revealing a tiny breach.

“Chi!!!!”

Instantly, dense black fog began to leak out from the crack in the pillar!

The great hall was filled with the powerful forces of the sun, moon, and stars, which immediately suppressed the escaping black mist with overwhelming pressure.

It was broken!

Seeing this, Fang Heng’s pupils constricted, and he shouted, “Abe Akaya!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

Abe Akaya, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, finally seized the opportunity. Numerous dense vines instantly rushed forward, entangling and burrowing into the pillar through the newly formed crack!

What the hell!

Ophiel watched in shock as tiny tendrils of vines penetrated the fissure in the crystal pillar. In just a moment, they rapidly spread, wrapping around the sealed “Jealousy” demonic seed within the crystal.

“Zhi zhi zhi…”

Sharp spikes emerged from the vines, viciously stabbing into the skin of the sealed “Jealousy” demonic seed.

Fang Heng quickly checked the game hint.

Effective!

Abe Akaya successfully absorbed energy from the sealed demonic seed!

[System Notification: Abe Akaya absorbed the origin power of the demonic seed-Tongues of Jealousy, gaining 63,819 experience points…]

So it really was Jealousy!

Fang Heng noted that the numbers representing the power absorbed from the “Jealousy” demonic seed in Abe Akaya’s evolution bar began to increase rapidly.

Tongues of Jealousy, a fragment?

So this person in front of him was just a clone of the Jealousy demonic seed?

No wonder the conservatives had such tight control; they had sealed a clone of the Jealousy demonic seed here.

What a revelation!

It seemed the conservatives were no weaklings, managing to completely seal away a fragment of the Jealousy demonic seed.

But… where was the Book of Greleng?

Forget about it!

Since he was already here, he might as well absorb all the energy from the Jealousy clone.

Fang Heng immediately directed Abe Akaya to wildly absorb the power of the demonic seed.

The system notifications began to accelerate.

[System Notification: Abe Akaya absorbed the origin power of the demonic seed-Tongues of Jealousy, gaining 82,745 experience points…]

[System Notification: Abe Akaya absorbed the origin power of the demonic seed-Tongues of Jealousy, gaining 102,813 experience points…]

Ophiel watched the sealing stone pillar intently, noticing that the aura emanating from the Jealousy demonic seed was dwindling, becoming increasingly faint. The body of the demonic seed visibly shriveled before his eyes.

Ophiel swallowed hard, turning to Fang Heng with a look of growing fear.

This guy!

Could it be that he intended to fully absorb the Jealousy demonic seed just like he had with other demonic seeds?

…

“Chi, chi, chi…”

Hmm?

After more than ten minutes, Ophiel’s brow furrowed.

The numerous vines that had been entangling the Jealousy demonic seed began to slowly retract, while the surrounding branches quickly pulled back into the ground. The once-thriving mass of vines diminished, leaving the area increasingly bare.

Had the domain ability become ineffective?

Ophiel turned to look at Fang Heng again.

Did he become weaker?

Was this perhaps the best time to deal with him?

Just as this thought arose, Ophiel immediately suppressed it.

Better not to court death.

[Hint]: Player’s Eternal Tree Realm effect duration has reached its maximum.

Fang Heng glanced at the game notification.

The surrounding vines quickly retreated, restoring the sealing space to its original state.

What a pity.

He hadn’t managed to fully drain it.

According to the latest information from Abe Akaya, they had absorbed over eighty percent of the ‘Jealousy’ demonic seed’s origin power.

If only he had five more minutes, he could have completely drained it.

In just a short time, the energy required for the evolution of the complete form of the Tree of Hell demonic seed had surged to 23.66%!

Not bad!

Fang Heng licked his lips lightly, gazing at the crystal pillar.

The remaining origin power of the ‘Jealousy’ demonic seed was dwindling, and its state had become extremely weak.

Of course, the demonic seed possessed a powerful self-recovery ability; even if its origin was wounded, it could gradually recover over time.
