Chapter 3561: The Surface LayerEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was possible.

However, there was no way to verify the guess at the moment.

In any case, since he was here, he had to take what he could.

For example, the Source of Death.

Right, and before that, there was also the power of faith.

Elite, pure power of faith could purify evil power and grant souls a holy attribute. It could also be absorbed by him.

After all, in the divine realm, faith power was essentially free. Any God Clan member could easily level it up to the maximum.

Perfect!

He had just converted his sacred study to God-level, and the sacred study’s level was not yet maxed.

A single surge would max it out.

Fang Heng transformed into his sacred study form again, reached out and pressed onto the surface of the magic array, closed his eyes, and condensed his divine power, attempting to directly draw the holy faith power from the surface into his body.

It worked.

The holy power surged into his body and flowed through his sea of consciousness, quickly converting and merging into the holy energy sphere.

Among the three types of power gathered around the central energy sphere, holy power had been the weakest. Now, with this boost, the energy sphere gradually expanded and solidified.

"All together!"

Fang Heng finished testing, opened his eyes again, flipped his wrist, and threw several rune papers forward.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several lickers sprang from the exploded runes, quickly condensed their flesh cocoons into normal forms, and gathered in front of the magic array, frantically absorbing the overflowing power of faith from the alchemy magic array.

Absorbing rapidly!

Fang Heng could not see a game hint, but he could feel the holy energy sphere within him rapidly growing.

The faith power on the surface of the magic array was greatly consumed, gradually flickering.

Meanwhile, in the outer world, the God Clan guard teams hurried over. Under the guidance of several elders, they activated enhanced outer defensive barriers to contain the aura escaping from the Death Vortex and eliminate the berserk soul bodies.

By the time Elder Dut, in charge of the Black Island, arrived, the outer defensive barriers had already stabilized.

Seeing the still-erupting Death Vortex in the distance, Elder Dut furrowed his brow.

"Elder, we’ve already inquired with the Dark Clan. They said the Death Vortex suddenly went out of control, and they don’t know what caused it. They hinted it might be because we disturbed the Netherworld’s stability."

"Nonsense!" Another Dark Clan member scoffed, then looked at the Dark Clan elder and asked, "The Death Vortex has been stable for so long. If it were going to lose control, it would have happened long ago. Elder, could it be related to the recent anomalies in the Netherworld?"

Recently, the world’s guarding the Netherworld had caused quite a stir, bringing significant trouble to the God Clan.

"Doesn’t seem like it. The only one who could manipulate the undead vortex to produce such ripples is probably the Nether Emperor."

"The Nether Emperor?"

The God Clan members were immediately shocked.

"Yes. Earlier, the Tribunal of Sin had some issues. Some prisoners escaped their cells. The specific cause is still under investigation, but the Nether Emperor has already been re-imprisoned."

Elder Dut condensed his divine power through the God’s Eye, observing the Death Vortex ahead.

"The Death Vortex’s ripple has not reached its peak yet. Forcibly interfering with holy power might trigger even greater ripples. Elder Augustus is on the way. The situation is unclear. Until he arrives, we will maintain the status quo."

As they spoke, a grayish force spilled from below the mountains.

The lower magic array seemed somewhat unstable.

A God Clan guard looked downward and frowned. "Strange. Even the lower magic array has a problem? Could the source be in the lower array?"

"Impossible. Our squad has been guarding the Netherworld source magic array below. I can guarantee there’s no issue."

"Don’t get worked up. It’s possible the Death Vortex’s power surge affected the lower array," Elder Dut said, raising a hand to calm him. "Walsh, take a team to check it."

"Yes!"

"Follow me!"

Walsh immediately led a seven-person squad to investigate below the mountains.

As they entered the cavern barrier entrance, they sensed traces of erosion on the barrier. Their brows furrowed. Their expressions hardened as they warned, "Be careful! The magic array shows signs of damage. There may be intruders!"

At the same time, deep in the cavern, Fang Heng sensed the approaching coercion of the God Clan. He immediately released his hand and dashed toward another Source of Death hole on the ground.

Unfortunately.

Fang Heng could feel the holy power sphere condensed within him was nearing its limit. It was just short of the peak.

If he had a little more time, his sacred study could have reached God-level maximum.

He could not delay further.

Fang Heng quickly reached the hole containing the Source of Death, pressing his hand onto it.

"Chi! Chi chi! Chi chi!!!"

The Source of Death stored beneath the cavern was rapidly extracted into his body, while black veins appeared across his skin.

Almost at the limit.

Fang Heng’s gaze shifted toward a distant passage.

The God Clan members were approaching quickly.

Neither the Eye of God nor the Eyes of Hell could effectively control the Source of Death power within him, which was near overflow.

It had come to this.

Fang Heng glanced once more at the zombie clones still frantically absorbing faith power around the magic array. He took out his Martial Apex Tournament token from his backpack.

He would leave first.

The token emitted a faint glow.

Whoosh!

Fang Heng instantly teleported back to the Realm Venerable temple in the dimensional world.

A few moments later, the God Clan squad arrived.

Squad captain Walsh frowned. Two God Clan guards who should have remained behind were already missing. Numerous humanoid monsters were gathering around the magic array.

What the hell?

The God Clan had never seen such a bizarre scene.

These humanoid monsters were absorbing the faith power from the surface of the magic array?!

The ripple in the outer world’s magic array was clearly caused by the massive extraction of faith power.

"Captain?"

"Stop them!"

Walsh shouted, dashing toward the zombie clones. His holy longsword slashed through several streaks of dark light.

Boom!!!

The zombie clones did not respond to the attack. They took the damage directly and were blasted back, crashing into the rock wall.

Huh?

Walsh raised an eyebrow.

The injuries on the zombie clones healed rapidly. Ignoring the danger, they lunged toward the magic array again.

"Take them down!"

...

Dimensional world.

Realm Venerable temple.

Fang Heng returned to the hall via the teleportation passage.

The elder in the blue robe nodded at him. "Martial artist, you’re back. The Realm Venerable is resting. I will take you out of the temple."

"Thank you."

Fang Heng nodded lightly, sensing the divine vortex inside him.

Unfortunately, in less than a minute, all the zombie clones were already gone.

He was still short of completing God-level sacred study.

He would have to find another way to make up the difference.

He needed to think of a way into the Holy Realm.

Fang Heng left the temple, noting that the God King was still in seclusion and Zane was still cultivating and absorbing the Void Abomination’s power. He left a message for Zane and returned ahead to the Holy Realm.
