Chapter 2494 Fractured
Fang Heng"s mind stirred.
He suddenly recalled what Bai Mu had mentioned earlier, about conflicts within the team and the struggle for dominance in team decisions.
It now seemed that Bai Mu"s team had indeed fractured.
"So, you"re one of Bai Mu"s people?"
Jing Ge"er said coldly, then shifted her gaze away from Fang Heng, adding, "Whatever. It doesn"t matter who you are. Stay away and don"t interfere with our work."
Fang Heng frowned slightly, looking down at the magic array beneath him. His right eye, with its omniscient sight, spun rapidly.
This wasn"t good.
It appeared that the demonic seed before him had already breached most of the outer seal.
In reality, he had only breached a portion of the outermost seal.
Despite the commotion outside, the true seal was still deeper.
It was buried beneath a layer of alloy metal.
Breaking through the thick alloy metal layer and then damaging the underlying seal was something that couldn"t be accomplished in a short time.
Hmm?
Just as he was thinking, Fang Heng suddenly had a thought.
Rows of game notifications appeared on his retina.
[Hint: Abe Akaya has come into contact with special energy and triggered the talisman, leading to the energy bodies advancing to the next tier. Abe Akaya has now triggered the Tier 1 advancement option for the "Complete Form": Tree of h.e.l.l Fully Activated.]
[Advancement path of Abe Akaya-Tree of h.e.l.l.]
Advancement requirement: Able to absorb 7 different types of the origin power and reach 100%.
[Hint: If the player chooses this advancement path, Abe Chiya will undergo self-evolution route adjustment. This evolution adjustment will make the main body more suitable for the growth of the Tree of h.e.l.l.]
[Hint: After this form is changed, a small number of original skills will not be able to be used.]
It turned out to be Abe Akaya"s advancement?
Fang Heng"s heart skipped a beat. He quickly shifted his focus from the seal and began to research the mission description.
Energy absorption?
Fang Heng frowned deeply.
He recalled clearly that last time when Abe Akaya was absorbing and coming into contact with demonic seed pollution, a similar hint had appeared. However, it hadn"t triggered an advancement mission.
It was very likely that he had accidentally come into contact with several different kinds of demonic seed powers, which triggered the game"s judgment.
The game also gave a clear hint.
To complete the next phase of advancement, it was necessary to absorb the core strength of all seven types of demonic seeds to a certain extent.
D*mn it!
That was not going to be easy!
Fang Heng immediately recognized the difficulty of the advancement mission.
Abe Akaya himself couldn"t even fully absorb the black fog energy!
Previously, attempts to absorb the black fog released by Wrath had resulted in severe nausea and vomiting, along with a significant reduction in experience points.
So, to complete the mission, he first needed to convert the black fog energy into a form that Abe Akaya could absorb.
It seemed that this was precisely what the mission referred to as Abe Akaya"s evolution into a more suitable growth form.
The prerequisite was that he had to choose to accept this evolutionary route before the evolution could occur.
Even so, the difficulty of the mission remained terrifying.
At least, at this stage, he had no way to obtain the energy of the demonic seed of "Jealousy".
As Fang Heng was pondering this, he looked up and saw Jing Ge"er staring coldly at him.
"Why are you still here?"
Jing Ge"er"s brow furrowed as she made a mental command.
Whoosh!!!
A surge of intense black fog formed on either side of Jing Ge"er, quickly condensing into two large fists that hurled directly at Fang Heng!
Fang Heng"s eyebrows lifted as he swiftly dodged to the side.
"Abe Akaya, proceed with the complete form advancement route!"
To h.e.l.l with it!
The advancement path was so difficult to trigger, he might as well go for it now that he had a chance!
[Hint: The player has currently accepted the next phase of the advancement mission for Abe Akaya. If the player cancels it, Abe Akaya will revert to its growth stage, and its current skill level will be reset.]
In an instant, the altar"s Great Hall was filled with the rustling sound of the large trees around it.
The color of Abe Akira"s roots and vines became darker in a few seconds.
[Hint: Abe Akaya has currently selected the complete form advancement path-Tree of h.e.l.l.]
[Hint: Abe Akaya can now absorb demonic seed energy.]
[Hint: Abe Akaya can also absorb the demonic seed"s black fog energy (the conversion rate for this mode is extremely low). This absorption mode will cause some damage to Abe Akaya (permanent loss of experience points, a reduction in HP upper limit which will last for 72 hours).]
Current advancement mission: Abe Akaya needs to successfully absorb the core strength of 7 different origin powers to reach 100%.
Current advancement progress:
Pride: 0%
Jealousy: 0%
Wrath: 0%
Sloth: 0%
Greed: 0%
Gluttony: 0%
l.u.s.t: 0%
So that was how it was!
Fang Heng immediately understood the requirements of the mission.
Absorbing all seven types of energy from the demonic seeds of h.e.l.l was necessary.
Directly absorbing the black fog aura was considered a lower-tier method.
The advantage was that it was relatively simple.
However, how to absorb the demonic seed origin power using a higher-tier ritual remained unclear.
Fang Heng thought of it as good news.
Fang Heng considered it good news.
The advancement mission for Abe Akaya and the mission related to Jealousy overlapped.
"Still not leaving? Do you think my words are just idle talk?"
Fang Heng slowly lifted his gaze and glanced at the middle-aged man still standing in the center of the magic array.
In just a few words, Fang Heng felt he saw a familiar shadow in this person.
Pride!
That"s right; this guy was most likely one of the incarnations of the demonic seed of Pride.
After just a brief encounter, Fang Heng had already made his a.s.sessment.
Without using his ultimate abilities, he was no match for Pride.
"I mean no harm; I"m only trying to deal with Jealousy. The seals left by Jealousy are multi-layered, and the lower layers are quite difficult to handle..."
As Fang Heng spoke, he slowly began to retreat.
At this stage, there was no need to clash with Pride"s group.
Instead, he could first attempt to absorb the pollution aura here!
Fang Heng focused his mind, directing the sacred tree"s vines around Abe Akaya to start absorbing the surrounding black fog aura.
"Chi, chi, chi..."
A small amount of black fog was absorbed into Abe Akaya"s roots.
[Hint: Abe Akaya is currently absorbing the unknown demonic seed pollution aura. Current maximum HP has decreased by 2,299 points (Duration: 48 hours). Current experience points have decreased by 9,281 points.]
[Hint: Abe Akaya is currently converting the unknown demonic seed pollution aura. Remaining time: 0.23 seconds. During the conversion process, all attributes of Abe Akaya will be reduced by 50%.]
It was a little troublesome.
Fang Heng quickly glanced at the game notification and shook his head in his heart.
Fang Heng quickly glanced at the game hints and shook his head inwardly.
If Abe Akaya remained in an absorption state for too long, its HP upper limit and experience points would decrease rapidly.
Moreover, the conversion of absorbed demonic seed aura also required time, and this conversion process would negatively impact his combat strength.
"Buzz, buzz..."
While he was distracted, the external gates of the altar domain opened.
Immediately, the black fog within the Great Hall found an outlet and surged outwards!
