Chapter 2396 Abnormal

Chase!
"Boom!"
In the next moment, dense red roots burst out from the narrow cave!
The red roots nearly filled the entire entrance!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!!"
The roots violently lashed against the holy barrier, producing loud explosions.
What the hell!
Dox quickly formed a seal with both hands in front of him.
Holy mantra!
The holy light surged, forming a massive golden fist that smashed toward the cave entrance.
"Boom!!!"
A violent tremor shook the area as the roots blocking the entrance were shattered by the beam of the holy mantra.
Dox swiftly rushed into the cave.
Hmm?
Looking around, he found that Fang Heng's figure had completely disappeared from the cave.
Gone?!
Dox's heart sank.
Could it be that Fang Heng managed to escape in the brief ten seconds he had been delayed?
What about the traces on the ground...?
Dox looked down.
Aside from the numerous tree roots destroyed by the holy skill, there were remnants of a magic array left behind.
"A teleportation magic array..."
Dox crouched down, tracing the marks left by the magic array, muttering to himself.
D*mn it! Fang Heng got away again!
Helpless, Dox had no choice but to return and report the situation to the adjudicator.
When Dox returned to the initial lava space, the group from the Holy Realm had just managed to eliminate most of the power of the demonic seed of Pride and temporarily sealed it in an ancient wooden box.
Seeing Dox return, everyone turned their questioning gazes toward him.
"Sorry, he got away," Dox took a deep breath and explained, "He utilized the power of the hell altar within the cave, and I couldn't restrain him in time."
"Hmm, Fang Heng is cunning, otherwise, we wouldn't have spent so long without catching him," Orkney replied, not surprised.
At least this time they hadn't returned empty-handed; they had located the demonic seed of Pride, which should keep it quiet for a while.
"Let's go."
Orkney said, turning his back and preparing to lead the others out of the Realm of Hell.
However, when they reached the passage back, they came to a sudden halt.
The group frowned, and a shadow of gloom appeared on their faces.
"Was it Fang Heng's doing?"
Orkney's tone carried a hint of anger.
In front of them was a vast expanse of lava terrain, and the previously existing fusion space between the Inner World and hell had completely vanished!
Earlier, Orkney and his team had kept the outer magic array of the Inner World's stone forest intact to leave a passage.
They hadn't expected it to be destroyed by Fang Heng!
"The fusing world has disappeared, it seems we're trapped."
One of the Purifiers in the group observed their surroundings and shook his head, saying, "It will take us some time to leave this place."
...
[Hint: The Holy Realm's pursuit team was intercepted by the player and is currently calculating...]
[Hint: The Holy Realm's pursuit team is expected to restart the chase in 72-120 hours (this time may fluctuate due to external events).]
At this moment, Fang Heng had returned to the Inner World of the World of Forests' Prayer Temple through Abe Akaya's dimensional transition ability.
"Hu, hu..."
Fang Heng breathed heavily, a thin layer of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
During his battle with Dox, he had initially gained the upper hand and could have easily continued the engagement.
However, all of a sudden, it felt as if the sea of consciousness had lost control, and he experienced intense ripples and excruciating pain in his head.
In that moment of crisis, Fang Heng decisively chose to force his way through the spatial barrier and took the chance to escape.
Fortunately, he had prepared an escape route in advance, setting up a summoning magic array for Abe Akaya in another cave, which allowed him to utilize Abe Akaya's teleportation skill to escape.
Now that he had exited the battle state, the violent ripples in the sea of consciousness slowly subsided.
Heh...
Fang Heng glanced at the game hints, a smile appearing on his face.
Finally, the mission target had been achieved!
No loss.
He had obtained a large amount of chaotic power from this encounter, leveling up his commander-level demon bloodline to the maximum.
Moreover, the pursuit team from the Holy Realm was trapped in hell for a while.
This time would be perfect for wrapping up the main storyline missions of the World of Forests.
Everything was going according to plan!
The only hiccup was the anomaly that had occurred in the sea of consciousness.
"Your Majesty,"
Carl, still at the main control magic array of the Prayer Temple, noticed Fang Heng's appearance via Abe Akaya's teleportation and subtly nodded to him.
"Hmm, you continue, don't mind me."
Fang Heng immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, sinking his perception into the sea of consciousness to observe the situation.
It was strange.
At this moment, the sea of consciousness was abnormally calm, as if the previous ripples had never occurred.
The demonic seed was also fine, quietly residing in one corner of the sea of consciousness.
The demonic seed of Jealousy had also returned to tranquility.
When the anomaly first occurred, Fang Heng instinctively thought it was a problem with the demonic seed of Jealousy.
Only now, as he calmed down to observe, did he realize that it might not be the case.
What was the problem?
Fang Heng carefully checked several times but couldn't find the cause.
Could it be that his zombie clone absorbed too much chaotic power all at once?
Like eating too many popsicles at once and could not handle it?
Just need to take a break?
With doubts in his mind, Fang Heng reopened his eyes.
At least it wasn't affecting him right now, so he decided not to dwell on it.
Standing up, Fang Heng walked to the magic array.
Carl had become quite skilled in controlling the magic array among the vampires, but even he couldn't significantly improve the absorption efficiency of the Prayer Temple's magic array.
Thus, Abe Akaya was still converting dimensional energy through the magic array to elevate the dimensional level.
"Your Majesty."
"Hmm, I'm here to assist you."
Fang Heng placed his hand gently on the magic array, helping Abe Akaya complete the dimensional level upgrade.
Mental strength poured into the magic array.
Whoosh!
With Fang Heng's massive mental strength infusion, the Prayer Temple's magic array suddenly began to operate at high speed!
Eh!
Fang Heng's pupils dilated in alarm.
Not good!
As soon as he activated his mental strength, the earlier signs of chaos in the sea of consciousness reappeared!
Fang Heng immediately halted his actions and stepped back.
What's going on?!
Fang Heng understood that this kind of anomalous ripple was abnormal.
Something must be wrong with him.
Seeing Fang Heng's unusual expression, Carl couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you encountering some trouble?"
"No, it's nothing. You all continue, I need to think about something."
As Fang Heng spoke, he withdrew from the magic array's operation and sat down again to carefully check his condition.
It was strange.
Once he stopped expending mental strength, the sea of consciousness slowly stabilized again.
Fang Heng carefully examined the sea of consciousness several more times but found no issues.
After a while, he withdrew from the perception state of the sea of consciousness and lowered his head in contemplation.
Comparing the moments before and after the anomaly, the only difference was that he had elevated his commander-level demon bloodline and dimensional energy level.
Just as he was pondering, a series of game hints began to appear.
