Chapter 2726: Absorption Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In order to ensure a safe evacuation, Fang Heng left the last bit of dimensional energy in the world, preventing it from collapsing too quickly. Even though the magic array had stopped operating, the local creatures of the world continued to gather in large numbers, rushing toward the area relentlessly. The Lickers’ combat abilities were no less impressive than the local creatures, but the sheer number of the latter was overwhelming! Surrounded by enemies from all sides, the Lickers couldn’t kill fast enough. In the later stages, they relied entirely on the undead’s self-healing ability to form a human wall, blocking the attacks from the local creatures. Only when the vampires had fully evacuated through the teleportation passage did Fang Heng raise his hand from a distance. “We’re leaving.” “Alright!” Ji Xiaobo nodded and took out a teleportation scroll. “Whoosh!” A flash of dark light passed, and the three of them disappeared from the spot. When they opened their eyes again, Fang Heng and the others had returned to Punoze. Tang Chuji was still a bit stunned. This was what it meant to “ride on someone else’s coattails”? They had only spent about three hours in the Black Rain World, and the entire world had already been destroyed? Fang Heng looked at Tang Chuji and asked, “Is everything ready?” “Y-yes…” Tang Chuji snapped out of her daze, glanced at the game prompt, and then nodded, “The teleportation scroll transaction just went through, and it will be delivered within half an hour. We just need to wait here for a while.” “Alright.” Fang Heng patiently waited. Ten minutes later, a game notification appeared in front of Fang Heng and his companions. [Hint: The player has caused devastating damage to the Black Rain World and inflicted significant harm to the Holy Court faction. Based on the player’s contribution, the player has earned 27,130,000 battlefield contribution points for the undead faction.] Tang Chuji saw the game prompt and couldn’t help but feel a jolt in her heart. She turned to look at Fang Heng. Unbelievable! He really did it! He had single-handedly destroyed the entire Black Rain World! Tang Chuji was extremely fortunate to be considered part of Fang Heng’s team by the game, and as a result, she received over two million battlefield contribution points as well! She suddenly understood the slight expression of regret and jealousy on Shi Lipeng’s face from earlier. Fang Heng, on the other hand, was used to it and didn’t find it surprising. He flipped through the mission description. In addition to successfully destroying all of the Holy Court’s forces in the Black Rain World, the death realm’s Black Stone Mountain teleportation passage also attacked various Holy Court worlds. The results were decent, and they consistently earned many contribution points. However, the contribution points earned from destroying the Holy Court’s game world this time weren’t as much as last time. They were about half of what they had been previously. Thinking carefully, Fang Heng figured that the Holy Court must have realized their situation and chosen to evacuate, which led to fewer casualties. It seemed like a bit of a loss. After all, the fragments of his dimensional core had been consumed for real. Fang Heng stroked his chin thoughtfully. Additionally, every world had its own hidden internal score. Since this was a mission between the undead faction and the Holy Court faction, it was likely that the impact of destroying this game world on the Holy Court wasn’t as significant as last time. Fang Heng flipped through his backpack. Currently, he still had 13 complete fragments of the dimensional core left. After absorbing the fragments used by the Holy Court’s two worlds, he had 93 fragments remaining. The dimensional cores were extremely rare. With his current dimensional level having increased to a certain height, further improvements would still strengthen it, but the effects seemed less significant than before. Fang Heng felt that he could set it aside for now. The dimensional core could serve as his trump card. In the future, if he encountered any special worlds, he could destroy them completely by absorbing dimensional strength through rituals. For example, the world of Amrit that they were about to head to. He’d reassess the situation when they got there and decide if Amrit needed to be destroyed. Lost in thought, Fang Heng looked up and happened to meet Tang Chuji’s gaze. “Fang Heng,” Tang Chuji said, nodding. “We’ve got news. The Amrit teleportation scroll transaction has been completed and it’s on its way, it should be here in five minutes.” “Alright.” Fang Heng nodded and looked at Tang Chuji, asking, “Do you know the current situation in Amrit?” Tang Chuji’s expression immediately became more serious, and she nodded, saying, “Yes, we’ve conducted a targeted investigation on Amrit.” “It’s referred to as the place closest to God.” Ji Xiaobo, hearing this for the first time, asked with curiosity, “Closest to God? That title sounds a bit strange. Is there any explanation behind it?” “Hmm, Amrit has a special passage that directly leads to the Holy Realm. Many players from the Holy Court who are interested in the Holy Realm gather there to cultivate. Additionally, people from the Holy Realm also frequently appear in that world.” “Oh?” Fang Heng became even more interested upon hearing this. Interesting! According to Tang Chuji, if they could completely destroy Amrit, it might mean that the passage between the Holy Realm and the higher-tier game worlds would be severed. “We have confirmed information that most of the devices required for descent from the Holy Realm are built within the Amrit world. If we can destroy them, the Holy Court’s power will suffer a huge blow.” “Although Amrit is not controlled solely by the Holy Court, their protection of the place is extremely tight, and the undead faction hasn’t expanded into Amrit.” Tang Chuji nodded and continued, “Also, recently, Amrit has encountered significant trouble. After news of internal strife in the Holy Realm leaked, many factions that had been enemies of the Holy Court flocked to Amrit. It’s said that a special organization has been formed there, called the Shadow Alliance.” “The Shadow Alliance is specifically targeting the Holy Court’s operations in the Amrit world.” “Furthermore, the Shadow Alliance has spread the word that the Holy Court possesses a holy weapon treasure in Amrit, and they’re inviting organizations with grievances against the Holy Court to join them in fighting the Holy Court. They’re offering help in establishing teleportation passages to Amrit for anyone willing to oppose the Holy Court.” Fang Heng’s brow furrowed unconsciously. “So, what you’re saying is that Amrit is in chaos right now?” “Very chaotic. The news of the turmoil in the Holy Realm was leaked by someone, and combined with the information about Amrit’s special passage to the Holy Realm and the hidden holy weapon, rumors have spread quickly. By now, various factions have gathered in Amrit, most of them with ill intentions toward the Holy Court.” Fang Heng thought to himself, “Good grief.” It’s like the saying, “When the wall falls, everyone pushes,” or the six major factions attacking the Bright Summit, right? He couldn’t shake the feeling that there was some kind of plot or scheme behind all this. Tang Chuji continued, “The undead faction players have discussed this internally, and we believe that the chaos in Amrit is likely being fueled by some unknown force behind the scenes.”
