Chapter 3417: Absorption
Chapter 3417: Absorption
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The tentacle drilled along the exoskeleton, piercing deeply into the flesh beneath the exoskeleton, then terrifyingly transformed in form, directly deceiving the main body of the Void Abomination, quickly linking with the Abomination’s flesh.
Success!
At the moment the tentacle penetrated the Void Abomination’s body, Fang Heng felt a strong sense of connection.
Almost simultaneously, an extremely complex torrent of consciousness surged wildly into his mind through the parasitic tentacle.
Fang Heng let out a humph.
This ritual torrent was filled with endless pain, wrath, hunger, resentment, and other negative emotions.
However, in the next instant, the hellish power within the sea of consciousness was triggered, rushing toward the negative emotions and swiftly annihilating all the negative forces, leaving only a pure stream of Origin Power.
Fang Heng immediately understood.
Void Power was a fusion of evil thoughts and Origin Power, originally difficult to absorb. The previous Beetle King had also spent great effort clearing out the negative emotional energy to retain only the Void Power.
But for him, having already condensed hell studies power, the seven major negative emotions of the demonic seed were far stronger than evil thoughts, easily dispersing them completely.
What remained was pure Origin Power.
Fang Heng did not expect the situation to progress so smoothly.
He absorbed the Void Power rushing through the externally linked Ouroboros heart into his sea of consciousness, instantly purified into pure Origin Power.
If he could absorb all the Void Power inside the Void Abomination, his strength would definitely rise terrifyingly again.
Unfortunately, after less than a second of absorption, the Origin Power quickly filled more than half of his sea of consciousness and began to lose control.
He was doomed.
He absorbed too aggressively and couldn’t process so much at once.
Fang Heng frowned, and the next moment, an abnormality occurred.
With a low groan, the once motionless Void Abomination trembled slightly.
The seven huge void prisms piercing its body suddenly emitted glaring, eerie light, and the energy lock chains connected to the prisms shook violently.
The Black Fog surrounding the Void Abomination churned like boiling water and quickly enveloped Fang Heng.
"Not good!"
On the floating island above, Elder Brutus’s expression changed drastically.
He had planned to let Fang Heng try and then back off, but unexpectedly, Fang Heng really could damage the Void Abomination’s outer shell and even somehow stimulate it.
"It’s waking! Stop it! Quickly!"
In an instant, Elder Brutus and hundreds of Void Clan members inside the temple disappeared from the spot.
The next second, the Void Clan members appeared above the dark continent, divided into seven squads positioned above the seven giant void prisms, forming a circle around the crystals.
"Stop right there, outsider!"
Two elderly Void Clan members shouted anxiously but dared not approach the Void Abomination, yelling at Fang Heng, "Stop! If you provoke it further, the Void Abomination will fully awaken!"
Fang Heng glanced at the Void Clan with regret.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to continue absorbing more Origin Power, but his sea of consciousness was already filled with Origin Power to the point of near loss of control.
Moreover, he currently had very little control over the externally parasitic heart, and despite being linked parasitically to the Void Abomination’s main body, he couldn’t break free at will.
"Humph!"
Fang Heng snorted coldly, forming his left hand into a knife shape and swiftly slashing through the air.
"Chi!"
A dark glow cut through the air.
Pain struck at the connection point on his right arm’s external heart; the parasitic tentacle was forcibly severed, and the continuous flow of Origin Power into his body stopped abruptly.
"Pfft!"
Fang Heng coughed up a mouthful of blood from the backlash and kicked heavily again at the Void Abomination’s shell, the recoil force knocking him backward.
"Quick! Gather your spirits! Stabilize the seal!"
Elder Brutus shouted when he saw Fang Heng leave the Void Abomination, immediately pouring his mental strength into the nearby void prism.
The others followed, injecting their mental strength into the prisms.
"Buzz...!"
The seven prism lights flared greatly; the energy lock chains wrapped tightly around the Void Abomination’s body, pulling taut and strangling it, forcibly suppressing its restless body again.
Under the lock chains’ influence, the Void Abomination felt a strong fatigue; its previously half-open, dazed eyelids grew heavy again.
The floating island continent trembled for over half a minute before calming.
The Void Abomination’s dazed eyes slowly closed again, falling back into slumber.
Seeing this, all Void Clan members breathed a sigh of relief and flew toward the dark continent above.
...
Inside the Void Temple, the gathered Void Clan members were in a heavy, unusual atmosphere.
Just as Fang Heng stepped into the hall, several Void Clan members instantly appeared around him using spatial ability, surrounding him tightly.
"Fang Heng! Do you know what you just did?"
A young Void Clan member, most emotional, glared at Fang Heng, "You almost awakened the Void Abomination. You nearly got us all killed!"
"Homan! Shut up!"
Brutus slowly emerged from the back of the temple.
"Elder, he..."
"Everyone step back!"
"Yes, Elder."
The surrounding clan members dared not disobey and retreated to the temple’s sides.
"I’ll say this once: the abnormal agitation of the Void Abomination had nothing to do with Fang Heng. I allowed him to do so. If anyone has objections, speak now."
Silence fell.
Brutus’s eyes swept over the clan members and finally settled on Fang Heng, his tone softening.
"Fang Heng, come with me. I have something to say to you alone."
With that, Brutus turned and walked toward a side chamber deep within the temple.
Fang Heng glanced at the still-angry Void Clan members and shrugged, then followed.
In the side chamber,
Brutus faced away from Fang Heng, coughing violently while clutching his chest, forcing down his discomfort before slowly turning around.
"Fang Heng, your actions just now were reckless and dangerous."
"Sorry, Elder. I only wanted to test, didn’t expect the Void Abomination to react so strongly."
Fang Heng continued, "But there was a gain. At least we now have an idea of how to deal with the Abomination, and the situation has stabilized."
Brutus looked at Fang Heng and said, "You mean absorbing the Origin Power inside the Void Abomination?"
