Chapter 2759 Exploration
Fang Heng once again entered the Great Hall.
After several attempts at exploration, he had more or less figured things out.
There were at least six or seven hundred demons sealed within the Demon Suppressing Temple.
All the demons were categorized by strength within the temple.
The categorization was based on the color of the magic arrays.
The darker the color, the stronger the demon held within.
Once a Tier 1 demon's sealing teleportation magic array was cleared, the corresponding array for a Tier 2 demon would unlock, and so on.
So, the next one should be a Tier 6 demon, right?
Level 5 was merely the standard for SS-level demons.
It was still manageable for now, not a big problem.
Fang Heng thought to himself that since the ultimate goal was to complete the mission, there was no need to waste time. He decided to start from the highest tier he could handle to maintain maximum efficiency.
As he pondered, Fang Heng walked up to the teleportation passage that emitted a scarlet red light and stepped inside again.
Whoosh!
As Fang Heng opened his eyes, a flash of blade light appeared in front of him.
The speed was incredibly fast!
"Chi!!"
Before Fang Heng could fully regain his bearings from the teleportation, his body had already been struck by a white blade light, leaving a gash across his body.
An Evil Bone Demon!
Its skeletal, hollow body glowed with an eerie blue light from its eyes.
It was the result of a combination of evil thoughts and undead bones.
"Whoosh!!"
The skeletal form of the Evil Bone Demon moved through space like a ghost, its arm bones protruding sharp bone blades that quickly closed in on Fang Heng from the right side.
The speed was incredibly fast!
It was completely different from the weak ones in the lower levels!
Fang Heng's heart tightened, and he drew his Great Holy Sword to counterattack.
However, in the next moment, Fang Heng suddenly felt a buzzing sensation in his head, followed by a brief blur in his vision. Then, in the next instant, the omniscient eye activated in his right eye.
Several game prompts flashed across his retina.
[Hint: The player is affected by a mental-type skill effect.]
[Hint: The player currently possesses master-level occult and mid-tier psychic skills... The player's willpower attribute passes the check, and the negative mental effect is immune.]
[Hint: The player is affected by a special illusion...]
[Hint: The player's talent ability, the omniscient eye, activates, rendering the player immune to this illusion attack.]
"Boom!!!"
Fang Heng almost immediately broke free from the illusion and charged forward with his great holy sword, slamming it directly into the Evil Bone Demon!
The Evil Bone Demon, small in size and light on its feet, relied on agility. But with the force of Fang Heng's great holy sword, it was violently sent flying!
"Heh!"
The demon had quite a few tricks up its sleeve.
Fang Heng watched as the Evil Bone Demon was sent flying, a sneer escaping his lips. With a light tap of his toes on the ground, he rapidly closed the distance and charged toward the demon again.
The Evil Bone Demon's mana was far inferior to Fang Heng's, but its agility matched his perfectly. Thanks to its undead nature, it continued to relentlessly engage with Fang Heng.
In just five minutes and after hundreds of exchanges, Fang Heng realized something.
The Evil Bone Demon was in an invincible form.
Originally, he had thought that even if it couldn't be killed, he could still find a way to weaken its abilities through persistent attacks.
But that wasn't happening!
The Evil Bone Demon's main body didn't lose any of its status despite taking damage, so even though all of Fang Heng's attacks appeared effective, they caused no real damage. The demon was also immune to most negative effects.
Fang Heng had been trying for five minutes.
In this situation, it was difficult to find an opportunity to use God's Punishment.
In that case...
"Whoosh!!!"
Fang Heng swiftly flashed to the side of the Evil Bone Demon, bringing his great sword down in a decisive strike.
The Evil Bone Demon, unaware of Fang Heng's change in tactics, noticed that the blow lacked sufficient strength. Immediately, it thrust its right bone arm toward Fang Heng!
"Chi!!"
The Evil Bone Demon's right arm pierced through Fang Heng's chest and stabbed out from behind!
Blood spurted out from Fang Heng's body!
Fang Heng's lips curled into a cold smile.
He had found an opportunity!
"Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!!"
The blood pouring from Fang Heng's body quickly locked the Evil Bone Demon's arm in place, trapping it firmly.
The Evil Bone Demon was nearly immune to all spell effects, and finding a chance to unleash God's Punishment was only possible by using a decoy.
And that decoy... was Fang Heng himself.
Seizing the moment when he had controlled the Evil Bone Demon, Fang Heng suddenly raised his right hand, pressing it forcefully down onto the demon's skull.
"God's Punishment!"
Boom!!!
The divine holy light flashed violently within the special space of the Demon Suppressing Temple.
Blinding holy rays surged across the Evil Bone Demon, causing violent sizzling sounds as the searing light intensified.
Unlike the previous times when Fang Heng had used God's Punishment, this time it took a full five minutes to purify the Evil Bone Demon.
After those five minutes, the demon suddenly burst into roaring holy flames.
The holy fire engulfed the Evil Bone Demon, burning it completely until only ash remained.
[Hint: The player's current Great Sage advancement mission-Seal the Monster (target monster: Evil Bone Demon), Judgment Level: SSS. The player receives 2.98 million contribution points. The player's mission progress has been increased.]
Fang Heng glanced at the game prompt and let out a sigh of relief.
The mission difficulty was still considerable.
Using God's Punishment was extremely mentally exhausting, and without the dimensional strength boost, a normal person wouldn't be able to sustain the mental strain for long.
However, the rewards were worth the cost.
It was much more efficient to deal with high-level monsters here than to waste time on low-level monsters on the lower floors.
Fang Heng rubbed his neck as the large blood hole in his chest slowly healed. With a few steps, he made his way toward the teleportation passage back to the first floor of the Demon Suppressing Temple.
...
Outside the Demon Suppressing Temple, on the square, the number of Holy Realm guards and priests gathered around the temple was steadily increasing.
The first to notice the anomaly were the priests responsible for the operation of the Demon Suppressing Temple.
Suppressing the demons inside the temple consumed the energy of the Sub-God Pillars. Any significant change in the energy levels—either an increase or decrease—was a worrying sign.
An increase might mean that the suppressed demons were becoming restless.
A decrease... was even worse!
It could mean that the demons had escaped.
Thus, the chief priest, responsible for monitoring the temple's status, hurriedly sent people to investigate.
Upon learning that someone had entered the trial, the High Priest, officially in charge of the Demon Suppressing Temple, personally came to check on the situation.
It wasn't clear who leaked the information, but within just a few minutes, more and more priests and guards from the Holy Realm gathered in the square, and even a few believers showed up.
It was said that the inheritor of the Great Sage had entered the Great Hall for the trial and had already cleared several levels, advancing to the fifth basement.
But there had been no new updates in over ten minutes.
No one knew what the situation was now.
Good heavens.
So it's the inheritor of the Great Sage?
"Has it been so long already?"
The guards and priests gathered at the back of the square, wary of the reputation of the God's Punishment Knight Legion, whispered quietly to each other, afraid to speak too loudly.
