Chapter 2393 Blockade

This time was especially crucial for Fang Heng!

During this period, he could completely exterminate the Root tribe and subdue the Soul tribe, thereby fulfilling the main storyline mission of controlling the entire game world and obtaining the rewards!

Excitement flickered in Fang Heng’s eyes.

High above, Prince Buller stepped out of the passage once again and reported, “Your Majesty, I have notified all regions, and the operation has begun.”

“Hmm.”

Fang Heng turned to the elite vampires behind him and said, “Get to work. Clear out all the remnants of the Root tribe in the camp area. And be careful not to damage the stone pillars here.”

“Yes! Understood!”

Buller accepted the order and immediately led his elite subordinates to eliminate the remaining remnants of the Root tribe in the camp.

Fang Heng lifted his head and looked into the distance.

Far away, at the location of the Prayer Temple, he could faintly see a blood-red pillar of light rising into the sky.

“It seems Carl has activated the magic array of the Prayer Temple.”

According to the plan, Prince Carl of the vampires would host the ritual after completing Abe Akaya’s summoning magic array, helping Abe Akaya further elevate the dimensional level.

Since he was not personally overseeing the magic array, the speed at which Abe Akaya could convert dimensional energy would be relatively slow.

In fact, Carl was just a safety net that Fang Heng had set up.

If his plan to lure the Holy Realm’s pursuers and engage Pride encountered any obstacles, Carl could still take the time to elevate the dimensional level while keeping the Holy Court and Pride occupied.

It was a backup plan to ensure success.

At this point, everything had gone incredibly smoothly in theory, and Fang Heng had already reaped all the benefits he could.

However…

Fang Heng turned again, gazing at the rapidly fading space of the Realm of Hell, his eyes narrowing slightly.

“Pass the word to Mo Jiawei that everything is proceeding as planned, and he doesn’t need to worry about me.”

“Yes.”

Just before the space of the Realm of Hell was about to vanish, Fang Heng swiftly plunged inside.

He wanted to take another look!

Both the demonic seed of Pride and the Holy Realm’s pursuers were top-tier combat forces within the game.

No matter who emerged victorious, he wanted to witness it firsthand. Who knew what advantages he might gain from the encounter?

Perhaps… he might even eliminate the Holy Realm’s pursuers completely?!

…

Upon re-entering the Realm of Hell, Fang Heng immediately followed the fluctuations of holy power, sensing his way forward.

“Boom!”

After just over a hundred meters of pursuit, he was met head-on by a fierce wave of holy energy coming from a nearby lava cavern.

Feeling the intensity, Fang Heng’s heart sank, and he quickly raised his hands in front of him.

“Bang!!!”

He was slammed back by an enormous shockwave, forced to stagger back half a step.

What the hell!

He was actually pushed back two steps by the residual waves generated from the battle between the Holy Realm’s adjudicators and the demonic seed!

From time to time, waves of holy ripples, varying in strength, radiated out from the combat zone.

Troublesome.

Fang Heng silently cursed his luck.

The impact of the ripple would also emanate from his power fluctuations. If he got too close, he was likely to be detected…

Just as he was contemplating his next move, a series of game hints flashed across his retina.

[Hint: Due to Abe Akaya’s dimensional level rising to Level 2, the affiliated bloodline of vampires gains an additional 300% increase in basic attributes (only calculated based on academic disciplines and bloodline-type skills).]

The dimensional level had increased again!

It seemed that Carl’s side was finally on the right track.

With the rise in dimensional level, Fang Heng’s attributes received another slight boost.

He frowned and looked towards the central area of the battle, shrouded in black mist.

To hell with it!

Now that he was here, how could he simply give up?

If he didn’t take a risk, he wouldn’t gain any rewards!

At the very least, he had to take a closer look!

Fang Heng decided to step into the secondary space projection and quickly made his way toward the center of the lava cave.

As he got closer, he finally saw the five figures of the Holy Realm battling against Pride.

Huh?

Things looked dire.

A sense of dread filled his heart.

The situation was extremely unfavorable.

The five members of the Holy Realm were encircling Pride, each positioned at one of the five points, golden pentagrams glowing beneath their feet.

In the center of the magic array, Pride was completely levitating in the air, suppressed by the holy power coming from all directions. Black aura constantly seeped from him, punctuated by his pained roars.

With every struggle, Pride created trouble for the five members of the Holy Realm, sending out waves of holy ripple energy.

Simultaneously, the demonic seed aura emanating from Pride was being rapidly purified by the golden pentagrams beneath the Holy Realm members!

This was bad, Pride was trapped.

Fang Heng could clearly sense that Pride’s strength was gradually weakening.

It appeared that relying solely on Pride was not enough to overcome the pursuers from the Holy Realm.

Originally, he had thought that if Pride had the upper hand, he could take the opportunity to strike at two of the Holy Realm members from behind.

But now…

Should he go up and lend a hand?

With his current abilities, if he suddenly launched a surprise attack, he might be able to disrupt the Holy Realm’s spellcasting and possibly help Pride escape.

But then what?

Fang Heng estimated the strength of both sides and felt that even if he teamed up with Pride, they would still struggle to defeat the five members of the Holy Realm.

Moreover, the members of the Holy Realm held greater animosity towards him.

If both he and Pride had to flee, it was highly likely that the pursuers from the Holy Realm would target him.

The chances of drawing their ire increased significantly.

Even if he managed to rescue Pride, there was no guarantee that Pride would be grateful.

After a brief consideration, Fang Heng quickly abandoned the idea of rescuing Pride.

There was no point in getting involved in all that; it was better to snag some benefits and make his escape!

With his thoughts redirected, Fang Heng turned his gaze toward the passage on the right side of the cave.

That was where Pride had originally been—home to the altar imbued with chaotic power!

It might still be there!

With that in mind, Fang Heng leaped from the secondary space projection, briefly revealing his aura before slipping back into the projection, swiftly moving forward and darting past the Holy Realm group, diving into the passage behind them.

At that moment, the members of the Holy Realm were fully concentrated on dealing with the demonic seed of Pride.

Even if the demonic seed were completely eradicated, its will and power would gradually disperse into other parts of the demonic seed. If all the parts were destroyed, it would eventually revive after some time.

The Holy Realm believed the best approach was to seal it.

However, sealing also required the expenditure of strength.

Especially for a being like the demonic seed, whose original power was unclear and could continuously consume the strength used for sealing.

Sealing a single demonic seed might be manageable, but attempting to seal multiple seeds at once would present significant challenges.

Thus, finding a way to deal with the demonic seed had always been a headache for the Holy Realm.

At present, Orkney was preparing to seal the demonic seed and take it back to the Holy Realm for safekeeping.

With their mental strength intensely focused, they failed to notice the momentary ripple of Fang Heng’s aura.

Thanks to this, Fang Heng swiftly entered the rear cave.

Inside the cave, black auras were seeping from the numerous looming black altars.
