Chapter 2386 Sucking

The remaining world energy was now at a critically low level.

Similarly, most of the dimensional cores collected and plundered from the tree spirit tribe had been consumed, leaving less than a third.

Well, then let’s keep going!

Draw!

Suck hard!

Although the efficiency was slightly reduced, it didn’t stop Abe Akaya from continuing its extraction.

Since they had come this far, they might as well drain the entire world occupied by the Holy Court!

Fang Heng looked up at Bati, ready to engage again, when suddenly he felt a shift in his mind.

A line of game hints flashed across his retina.

[Hint: The player has caused a huge impact in the current world. The pursuit team from the Holy Realm will arrive early. Estimated time: 10-15 minutes.]

The Holy Court’s pursuers had anticipated the warning!

“Abe Akaya! You have ten minutes. Extract as much as you can, and after that, retreat immediately.”

Fang Heng quickly conveyed the message to Abe Akaya through mental strength before charging toward Bati!

Bati felt an overwhelming sense of urgency, relentlessly attacking Fang Heng along with the two Holy Realm judges.

Yet, the opponent’s vitality was shockingly resilient!

Despite being at a disadvantage and under heavy assault, it felt as if all their attacks were completely ineffective!

The honorary knights of the Holy Court, waiting in the distance, wore grave expressions.

Even they could sense it.

The energy of the entire universe was rapidly depleting.

The ground trembled violently as massive fissures spread quickly across the surface, already creeping beneath their feet and extending further outward!

The spread was alarmingly fast.

A thick layer of dark clouds shrouded the sky.

A feeling of impending doom weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts.

If this continues, this world might collapse!

“Look!”

Suddenly, one of the honorary knights noticed something and pointed upward at a glowing light spot in the sky.

Huh? That was…

As the glowing light spot flickered and condensed in the sky, all the honorary knights felt an overwhelming surge of the power of faith blossoming!

Under the influence of this force, everyone was struck by an almost instinctive urge to kneel and pray.

The Holy Realm adjudicator, Orkney, and his team were in a state of descent.

“Fang Heng has been unusually active lately; I didn’t expect him to appear in Tapetel. There are reports of significant fluctuations in the world’s dimensional strength. Fang Heng has likely obtained dimensional power from the World of Forests. Everyone, be on high alert!”

Orkney spoke coldly, “We must capture Fang Heng this time!”

“Yes!”

The holy light illuminated the sky, momentarily dispelling the dense clouds.

The figures of Orkney and his team gradually emerged at the center of the radiance.

As the light faded, they opened their eyes to survey the universe around them.

What was happening?!

The dimensional strength of this world had reached the brink of depletion!

“Fang Heng!”

A sharp glint flashed in Orkney’s eyes as he shot toward Fang Heng’s location at high speed!

Meanwhile, Fang Heng, who was rapidly retreating toward the triangular altar, sensed their approach.

They were coming!

Fang Heng had managed to escape two minutes ahead of schedule!

Realizing that his aura had been completely locked onto by Orkney, Fang Heng felt a surge of adrenaline as the demonic seed within him stirred uncontrollably.

“Abe Akaya! Prepare to retreat!”

Fang Heng shouted internally, swiftly disappearing into the altar building shrouded by layers of red roots and vines.

Orkney noticed Fang Heng entering the vine-covered altar and his expression darkened. He swung his long sword forcefully forward!

“Buzz!”

A massive sword light cleaved through the air, striking the altar.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The sword light slammed into the exterior of the structure, causing an explosion!

The outer layer of vines shattered under Orkney’s strike, and the entire building collapsed.

The branches and vines clinging to the wreckage withered and disappeared at a visible speed.

Under the radiance of the holy light, hordes of Lickers were affected by the divine burn, unable to maintain their offensive stance as they writhed and rolled on the ground, black mist rising from their bodies.

Had they been dealt with?

The Holy Court forces all turned to Orkney, the Holy Realm adjudicator.

Where was Fang Heng?

Orkney’s expression was grim as he stared intently at the ruins in the distance.

He had lost all trace of Fang Heng.

He had escaped again!

Faster than a rabbit!

Orkney took a deep breath, glancing around as his gaze settled on the Lickers that were still rolling and struggling on the ground under the effects of his passive skill, the Divine Radiance. His brow furrowed in concern.

Two months ago, these Lickers would evaporate within seconds under the scorching effects of his Holy Light. Now, the effect had persisted for over a minute, yet the Lickers were still not truly dead.

Clearly, their vitality had undergone a qualitative change.

And then there was this world.

The remaining dimensional strength was almost depleted, utterly incapable of sustaining the world’s operation.

“Fang Heng, the dimensional energy…”

Orkney murmured to himself, a look of intense vigilance creeping into his eyes. The Holy Court had witnessed the most unwelcome turn of events.

It was highly likely that Fang Heng had obtained the method to harness dimensional energy, and in doing so, his summoned creatures had gained significant enhancements, even influencing this universe through that dimensional power.

As he pondered, the Lickers in the vicinity finally succumbed to the relentless damage of the Holy Light, bursting apart and being purified into a fine ash.

Once the dimensional energy ceased, the Catacomb Demons stopped emerging from the rifts in the ground, but the cracks in the continent continued to spread.

Grand Arbitrator Bati and his team stepped forward, respectfully bowing. “We greet you, Sir Adjudicator.”

“The dimensional strength of this universe is approaching depletion, and it seems it cannot support itself for much longer,” Orkney sighed inwardly, shaking his head slowly. “There is no need for us to remain here; this is not your fault, and it has nothing to do with you. I will report the situation to the Holy Realm in detail. Prepare to evacuate.”

Bati and the others exchanged glances, their expressions filled with helplessness.

It was an unwarranted disaster.

After investing so much effort and blood to establish this world, it seemed it would collapse without warning, and now they had to leave without a moment’s notice…

“Yes, Sir.”

Dimensional strength represented the power that life forms could perceive and gain from this world, as well as the upper limits of their potential within it.

If the dimensional energy fell below a certain threshold, calamities would become frequent, and cultivation efficiency would drastically decrease. If it dropped to a point where the universe could no longer sustain itself, it would shatter entirely.

Bati understood this well. Theoretically speaking, with so much dimensional power drained, this universe was already doomed, and leaving was indeed the best option.

“Sir, I…”

“What is it?”
