"It’s fine, I have a way."
Fang Heng said as he raised his hand, casting a Holy Purification spell toward the aura of ancient knowledge.
Holy light descended.
A layer of golden light instantly appeared above the black fog, and a white mist rose.
After a moment, the dark mist transformed into a faint blue aura.
Nasir watched quietly as Fang Heng easily purified the aura of the evil fetus, feeling somewhat envious.
If it had been him, removing the evil fetus aura would have taken much effort.
Fang Heng stepped forward and reached out to touch the aura.
In the next moment, a cold energy flowed into his body.
Mysterious images accompanied by a large influx of occult knowledge rapidly poured into his sea of consciousness.
[Hint: The player gained some knowledge.]
[Hint: The player absorbed occult energy, occult experience points +57,000.]
[Hint: The player absorbed occult knowledge, occult experience points +12,380,000...]
[Hint: The player’s current occult level reached MAX. Please upgrade occult tier.]
A massive amount of ancient knowledge flooded Fang Heng’s sea of consciousness. Before he could carefully examine or digest it, his occult level had already maxed out.
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up.
This absorption efficiency was far faster than when he gained experience in the basement!
Only a small portion of the knowledge energy had been absorbed, and a large part remained untouched. Yet his occult was already max level.
Absorbing more would be wasted.
Fang Heng thought for a moment, then temporarily controlled the remaining knowledge energy, storing it in a safe area within his sea of consciousness, planning to use it after breaking through to demigod-level occult.
After a moment of organizing his sea of consciousness, Fang Heng opened his eyes again.
Nasir asked, "How do you feel?"
"Very good. It’s a fine thing."
Fang Heng nodded lightly. "The evil fetus is taken care of. Let’s look around and find a way out."
Nasir agreed, and they split up to inspect the magic arrays carved into the cavern walls.
Fang Heng was not in a hurry; he leisurely studied the magic arrays arranged in the grotto, occasionally discussing with Nasir and inspiring each other.
While the two focused on alchemy research, several elders of the Lanyue Clan at the cavern’s upper levels were stunned like wooden chickens.
Though the Evil God magic array was still running, the amount of the Evil God’s aura inside the ritual magic array had completely dissipated.
The Evil God had perished!
Even after devouring so many priests’ vitality.
What kind of terrifying existence had they encountered?
The spawns demanded Fang Heng’s elimination as a condition for protecting the Lanyue Clan.
Whether Fang Heng was alive or dead was unknown, but the evil fetus had lost its vitality.
With the evil fetus dead, they had lost all ability to protect themselves and lost all bargaining chips.
Waiting for spawn reinforcements had become a luxury.
Everyone looked at the Lanyue Clan patriarch.
The patriarch sighed deeply, slowly accepting reality, as if the last bit of strength in his body had been drained, and said, "Follow me outside. Perhaps only our deaths can appease the Noel Clan and preserve the last spark of the Lanyue Clan."
At the cavern’s lower levels, Mu Shunan and a group of Noel Clan warriors, still unaware that Fang Heng had escaped, were carefully searching the cavern, trying to find where Fang Heng and Nasir had been teleported by the spatial magic array, as well as the Lanyue Clan members.
The high-tier warriors sent by the Noel Clan were very strong, and with perception blocked, finding the Lanyue Clan was only a matter of time.
"Nasir, you must hold on..."
Mu Shunan was uneasy and prayed silently.
Then, a sudden purple light appeared ahead.
It was the Lanyue Clan!
The high-tier warriors immediately perceived them and became alert, preparing for battle.
However, the Lanyue Clan patriarch was the first to kneel before everyone.
Then, all Lanyue Clan members knelt.
"Noble Noel Clan, I am the current patriarch of the Lanyue Clan. We have lost and are willing to surrender, only asking to preserve the bloodline of the Lanyue Clan."
Mu Shunan showed a wary expression.
The Noel Clan elders said nothing but coldly stared and asked, "Where are Fang Heng and Nasir?"
The Lanyue Clan elders looked at each other, bitter inside.
"They were sent into the sealed cavern below through the teleportation passage. When the ancestors established the cavern, there was no exit—only an entrance ritual, no exit ritual."
Mu Shunan couldn’t help but ask, "What’s inside the sealed cavern?"
"It is the dimensional evil fetus raised by the Lanyue Clan, a materialization of the Evil God Phoenice."
The Lanyue Clan was so bold to imprison an Evil God from the Endless Domain below the cavern?
The warriors’ faces instantly grew serious.
So, the Lanyue Clan had already killed Fang Heng to achieve their goal? That’s why they surrendered?
The spawns acted so boldly, as if they didn’t even regard the Noel Clan.
"Where are Fang Heng and the others?"
"Unknown." The patriarch shook his head with a bitter smile, saying, "We have lost the Evil God’s aura. I believe the Evil God has been destroyed. Whether it was done by Fang Heng and Nasir, we don’t know."
Upon hearing this, the cavern fell into silence for a moment.
According to the Lanyue Clan, Fang Heng and Nasir had fallen into their trap, but inside the trap, they had slaughtered the Evil God?
No, just the two of them?
Was the Evil God that easy to deal with?
The Noel Clan elders exchanged glances.
Something felt off; this seemed strange.
The leading elder signaled subordinate warriors to detain all high-level Noel Clan members, then separate and interrogate them carefully.
"Elder, about Fang Heng and the others..."
The lead elder gestured to Mu Shunan to calm down, "Not yet. In this situation, we must act carefully. Let’s clarify the situation first."
After spending more than half an hour questioning each surrendered Lanyue Clan member thoroughly, the Noel Clan elders gathered again to discuss.
"We’ve asked everyone. The Lanyue Clan’s words check out. They colluded with the spawns and sent Fang Heng and Nasir into the deep maze where the evil fetus is raised."
An elite magic array expert among the Noel Clan elders nodded and said, "I also checked the magic array that worships the Evil God. There really is residual Evil God aura. As the Lanyue Clan said, the evil fetus aura just dissipated recently."
The warriors exchanged looks.
So Fang Heng and Nasir killed the Evil God?
Was the Evil God too weak, or were they too strong?
"The teleportation magic array sending into the deep maze where the evil fetus is cultivated is one-way. The Evil God’s power is terrifying. If released, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, the magic array was designed one-way. We cannot yet confirm Fang Heng and Nasir’s situation."
"We must go down quickly to check."
"Even if Fang Heng and Nasir exhausted themselves to kill the Evil God, their conditions won’t be good. They need immediate aid."
The elders nodded in agreement.
"Let’s act. The first group is chosen. We will enter the lower maze through the teleportation passage to reinforce Fang Heng and Nasir."
