Chapter 1620 - 1620 Resurrection
1620 Resurrection
Outside the sealed cave, the followers of the Holy Court gathered around the ritual magic array.
They knelt on one knee and chanted a prayer.
Fang Heng had brought this group of believers from the high-tier world Watts.
As the believers chanted in cadence, golden Holy Light enveloped the magic array in the center of the ritual.
Xu Xun and the other two necromancy scholars stood behind the group from the Holy Court. They watched the scene with trepidation.
Earlier, they had sensed an extremely violent fluctuation from the sealed cave behind them.
The energy fluctuation made them feel shocked.
They really wanted to know what had happened inside the cave at the source of the shady line.
They even had some guesses about this.
It was very likely that Fang Heng had done something to Viona!
He could deal with Viona, who had awakened part of her Saintess power, with his own strength?
And from the looks of it, Fang Heng actually succeeded?
How did he do it?!
Xu Xun and the others were very clear.
This was Fang Heng’s secret.
No matter what, Fang Heng did it!
Xu Xun glanced at Ji Xiaobo who had just arrived and asked, “Where’s Fang Heng? Is he alright?”
The first thing Ji Xiaobo did when he ran out was to call the believers of the Holy Court to start the resurrection ritual. He glanced at the sealed stone door and nodded. He said, “Yes, Brother Fang is slightly injured and needs to deal with something. He will be here soon.”
Everyone’s hearts sank when they heard this.
It seemed that Fang Heng had paid a huge price to defeat Viona.
Would it affect the subsequent plans?
“Don’t worry, everyone. Brother Fang is fine. The ritual will take a few more minutes. He’ll be there!”
“Yes.”
The three of them nodded and stopped being distracted. They focused on observing the operation of the ritual magic array.
Fang Heng had already created the best conditions for them. Then, they would completely seal Viona’s soul!
Xu Xun and the other two looked at each other.
This was the biggest effect they had played in completing the talent advancement mission!
Swoosh!!!
A faint light gradually appeared on the Origin Stone in the center of the ritual magic array.
The light nurtured a new body.
“Be careful, it’s about to start.”
Their expressions changed slightly as they stared at the gradually growing ball of light.
“Ka…”
Suddenly, a soft sound came from behind them. The sealed gate opened.
Fang Heng walked out of the sealed gate and stepped into the outer cavern.
He had already endured more than half of the intense backlash, but from the outside, Fang Heng’s face was still very pale.
Seeing that Fang Heng had returned safely, everyone suddenly felt a little more confident.
“Fang Heng, you’re here.”
“Yes.”
Fang Heng nodded at Xu Xun and the other two and stood in front of them.
Just nice.
He caught up!
Fang Heng looked at the followers who were performing the ritual, took a step forward, and slowly raised his hands.
The body constructed from Holy Light shone with a dazzling golden light on the Origin Stone.
As the Origin Stone dissipated, Viona’s figure gradually condensed in the center of the ritual.
“Whoosh!”
Viona’s consciousness gradually recovered under the state of resurrection.
Unless one mastered the secret art of soul control after death, the state of the soul wandering after death was an illusory and uncontrollable state.
Her consciousness was chaotic.
Viona couldn’t remember how long it had been since she died. Her memory was still stuck before she died. It stopped at the moment when Fang Heng plotted against her!
Viona’s soul gradually poured into her body. She sensed that she was being resurrected. She even heard a call in her ear.
“Revive!”
“Viona!”
The power of the soul awakened, and the new body gradually merged with the soul.
“Fang Heng…”
Viona felt her soul being revived. She closed her eyes and muttered softly.
“Thank you for letting me feel the taste of failure. The next time we meet…”
Swoosh.
Viona suddenly opened her eyes and her pupils constricted.
What the h.e.l.l!
At this moment, Viona’s eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. The person hosting the sacred resurrection ritual was actually…
Fang Heng!
Viona stared at the person in front of her.
Fang Heng!
Why was it him?
No, this body…
Viona suddenly realized that her newly reborn body was exceptionally weak.
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!!!”
In the next moment, several thick black soul chains attacked her from all directions!
“Chi! Chi chi!!!”
Viona’s pupils dilated hundreds of times.
She had just been resurrected, and her soul had just fused with her body. Her power had yet to fully recover.
In addition to the slight adjustments Fang Heng made to the resurrection magic array, his body was also weakened to the limit.
Instantly, Viona’s body was pierced through by dozens of black soul chains!
Viona stared at Fang Heng, her eyes losing their l.u.s.ter once again.
“Ka ka ka…”
The soul chains quickly withdrew into the Book of the Dead in front of Xu Xun and the other two.
Elder Imre said in a deep voice, “Attack! Seal her!”
The retinas of Xu Xun and the other two were immediately covered in a layer of grey ash.
Soul inspection!
Viona’s soul gradually emerged from her body. Her soul was enveloped in a layer of dark golden light.
Seeing this, Xu Xun and the other two immediately revealed extremely grave expressions.
Not good!
Wasn’t Saintess Viona still not completely awakened? Why was her soul power protected so strongly??
The three of them quickly exchanged glances.
There was no time.
A dead horse must be treated as a living horse!
Almost at the same time, three gray spiritual powers overflowed from the Book of the Dead, fusing into an even larger gray aura in the air, attaching itself to Viona’s soul!
“Chi! Chi chi!!”
Before the gray aura could completely touch Viona’s golden soul, it sizzled and released clouds of mist.
The three of them controlled their auras and forcefully attached themselves to it!
“Bang!”
The moment the gray aura came into contact with the soul, the air exploded!
The golden light instantly shone!
The mist was dispersed by the scorching Holy Light!
The shockwave from the explosion of the Holy Light caused the faces of Xu Xun and the other two, who were controlling the Book of the Dead, to turn pale.
Not good!
The three of them suffered a violent backlash, and their sea of consciousness suffered a serious injury similar to what Fang Heng had suffered before. At the same time, they took a few steps back.
How could this be?!
Her strength was actually so powerful?
Milani endured the backlash in her sea of consciousness. She gritted her teeth and looked up, staring at the soul of Saintess Viona, who was about to disappear from her sight.
Failed?!
They had spent so much effort on this plan, but it had failed just because they could not forcefully control Viona’s soul.
Unacceptable!
After waiting for so long, they finally saw hope, so how could they accept failure now?
Milani bit the tip of her tongue to stay awake and was about to struggle one last time.
How could a person who could advance to grandmaster-level of necromancy not have a few a.s.sets?
It was time to risk it all!
She admitted that she couldn’t do it alone and needed the help of the other two.
Just as she was about to call for her teammates to help, Milani saw Elder Imre waving at her from the corner of her eye.
What did he mean by waving his hand?
Give up?
Milani froze and turned to look at Imre.
