Chapter 2392 End the Battle Quickly
Fang Heng felt a surge of joy in his heart as he accelerated toward the domain at the intersection of the Realm of h.e.l.l and the real world.
At that moment, the Great Elder Geoffrey of the Root tribe had just caught his breath after enduring a devastating area attack within the Holy Court. He had gathered the remaining members of the Root tribe to guard outside the boundary of h.e.l.l.
Geoffrey"s expression shifted between hope and despair.
In the recent battle, he had narrowly escaped death. The enemy"s attack hadn"t even been aimed at him; he had merely been caught in the collateral damage and had nearly lost his life.
Their camp had come under a.s.sault from unknown invaders, and the strength of these foes far exceeded their own capabilities.
Geoffrey knew he was powerless to resist, so he focused all his energy on nurturing the saplings of the sacred tree while leading his people to wait in the fusion area of the Realm of h.e.l.l, hoping that the Lord of the demonic seed would manage to eliminate the intruders.
As he pondered these thoughts, a ripple emanated from the fusion pa.s.sage ahead, causing Geoffrey"s heart to stir with a mixture of antic.i.p.ation and anxiety.
The rest of the Root tribe were also staring at the entrance.
Had someone come out so soon?
Who could it be?
Were they the invaders from before? Or...?
As Geoffrey clearly saw the figure rapidly emerging from the pa.s.sage, his heart jolted with surprise.
What? It was...
"Fang Heng!"
Geoffrey was utterly astonished.
He never expected that the person stepping out from the pa.s.sage would be Fang Heng!
Fang Heng had just left the fusion area of the Realm of h.e.l.l and was somewhat taken aback to see Geoffrey and his group outside. His brow furrowed in concern.
This was troublesome!
He had indeed wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the Root tribe.
But now was simply not the right time!
There was no time left!
The battle between the Holy Court and the demonic seed of Pride wouldn"t last long.
They had to be taken down!
The sooner, the better!
Almost instantaneously, Fang Heng made his decision. He brought his hands together in front of him, condensing an imprint.
In the next moment, a ma.s.sive surge of mental strength flooded into his sea of consciousness.
Whoosh!
A phantom of red moonlight materialized behind Fang Heng.
When Geoffrey and the others saw Fang Heng appear, they were momentarily stunned, but quickly regained their senses.
Fang Heng!
It was indeed him!
That group of enemies had likely been summoned by Fang Heng!
They needed to subdue Fang Heng first!
Geoffrey"s heart surged with rage as he shouted, "Stop him!"
However, before anyone could act, Geoffrey"s pupils dilated in shock.
What was that!?
A chilling wave of power surged from behind Fang Heng.
Geoffrey felt as though he had entered a surreal world.
He vaguely saw a pure black ancient tree rising from Fang Heng"s back.
Its dark hue made it resemble a shadowy silhouette left behind by sunlight.
As soon as they laid eyes on the ancient tree, everyone present felt a part of their power, stemming from the demonic seed, involuntarily stirred within them, accompanied by an overwhelming impulse to submit.
A faint black mist enveloped the Root tribe members.
An eerie breeze swept through the area.
Geoffrey stood frozen in place, his pupils turning gray in an instant, completely losing control over his body.

The pure black ancient tree swayed gently behind Fang Heng.
At that moment, the members of the Root tribe seemed completely frozen, each one standing still without a hint of movement.
Only Fang Heng could see that tiny, infantile demons were perched on the shoulders of the Root tribe members!
These demons were gnawing at their souls!
All the infantile demons were connected by long, writhing umbilical cords that extended back to the black withered tree behind them.
The members of the Root tribe stood frozen like lambs awaiting slaughter, unable to move even a fraction, their perception dulled to the point where they felt no pain—time seemed to stand still as their souls were gradually consumed. One by one, their eyes lost their l.u.s.ter, and they fell backward, hitting the ground with a heavy thud.
At the same time, hints flashed across Fang Heng"s retina.
[Hint: The player has absorbed the soul essence of the Root tribe guards (elite). The player"s soul strength has slightly increased. The player"s academic skill-high-tier demon bloodline experience points +3,310.]
[Hint: The player has absorbed the soul essence of Great Elder Geoffrey. The player"s soul strength has weakly increased... The player"s academic skill-demon bloodline experience points +125,000.]
In just ten seconds, everyone around Fang Heng was incapacitated by the effects of the skill, leaving him as the only one standing.
During that same brief interval, Fang Heng felt his mental strength drained to the brink.
"Hu!!!"
He forced himself to halt the skill"s release and leaned against a nearby black stone pillar, gasping for breath as a sense of dread crept into his heart.
The life form summoned by the Everlasting Moon had experienced a ma.s.sive surge in strength.
Fortunately, he had recently undergone dimensional energy enhancement, which had boosted his spirit attribute nearly twentyfold.
Otherwise, he would have completely overdrawn his mental strength once again.
Taking a few deep breaths to steady himself, Fang Heng quickly popped a pill that rapidly restored his mental strength, chewing it as he brought his hands together in front of him to condense an imprint.
"Whoosh!"
A crimson light gathered between his eyebrows, swiftly rising into the air before bursting open to form a teleportation gate.
Prince Buller of the vampires stepped through the portal, accompanied by a group of elite vampires.
As Buller emerged from the teleportation pa.s.sage, his eyes widened at the sight of the corpses strewn around him. Instantly alert, he bowed respectfully to Fang Heng and reported, "I greet Your Majesty. What are your orders?"
"Go notify everyone to begin the operation immediately!"
"Understood!"
Buller nodded and immediately returned to the teleportation pa.s.sage.
Fang Heng watched him leave and waited for a few breaths, ensuring his mental strength had mostly recovered before turning back to face the merging realms of the Realm of h.e.l.l and the Inner World.
Whoosh!
He brought his hands together before him, and a rapidly spinning magic array materialized in his right eye.
"Buzz..."
At once, the magic array set up within the Root tribe"s silver domain resonated faintly.
The magic array began to operate in reverse!
Under the watchful eyes of the elite vampires, the boundary between the Realm of h.e.l.l and the Inner World started to blur.
"Hehe..."
A slight smile crept onto Fang Heng"s lips.
It worked!
By utilizing the magic array left by the Root tribe, he could reverse summon and dissipate the pa.s.sageway connecting the two merging worlds!
This way, he could effectively trap the forces of the Demonic Seed of Pride and the Holy Realm within the Realm of h.e.l.l.
Of course, Fang Heng understood that such a simple lock wouldn"t truly imprison Pride and the Holy Realm"s pursuers for long, but at least it would buy him some time.
