Chapter 2389 The Seventh Level

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Fang Heng quickly checked the materials required for crafting the magic array, frowning slightly.

The difficulty of creating the magic array was quite high, and it required a special intermediate material known as abyssal magic stone. This was something Fang Heng had never heard of before, and he had no idea where to obtain it.

However…

Fang Heng turned his gaze toward the numerous black stone pillars around him.

He could consider dismantling them to extract abyssal magic stones from the ruins of the destroyed pillars, or perhaps he could make a move against the Root tribe again.

But the current timing wasn’t suitable for action.

Fang Heng silently noted the materials he needed to scavenge and stayed put, patiently observing for a moment longer.

He hadn’t seen any sign of Pride. Could he be hiding in the deepest part of the black stone pillars?

Just as Fang Heng was hesitating on whether to delve deeper, he suddenly sensed a group of people approaching from a distance. He quickly sidestepped to hide behind a black stone pillar, watching cautiously.

In the distance, the Great Elder of the Root tribe, Geoffrey, was leading a group of guards, looking somewhat anxious.

Under the urging of another elder, the guards were slowly maneuvering several carts entangled with roots deeper into the stone forest.

Fang Heng curiously took a few more glances.

The cart was covered with several layers of white cloth, completely locked by entwined vines, making it impossible to see what was inside.

However, the cart looked very heavy, leaving deep ruts in the ground as it moved.

What could be inside the cart?

Could it be materials for crafting special magic arrays?

Fang Heng stroked his chin and quietly followed.

Geoffrey and his group slowly advanced deeper into the black stone forest, eventually stopping at the area where the black mist was thickest.

In front of them, the air was filled with a dense black aura that fused with the surrounding environment, creating a strange ripple effect.

It felt as if the boundaries of the world were gradually being erased and merged right before their eyes.

The thick black fog continued to pour out from the passage ahead.

The members of the Root tribe hesitated momentarily at the edge of the swirling mist.

Geoffrey scanned the group and said in a deep voice, “We go.”

They pushed the cart into the passage, quickly disappearing into the billowing black fog.

Fang Heng stepped out from behind the stone pillar, observing the increasingly distorted space ahead.

So it turned out that Pride had successfully opened a passage to the Realm of Hell!

What lay ahead was the fusion zone between the Inner World and the Realm of Hell.

If he moved further through this twisted space, he would most likely be able to enter Hell!

So, Pride had returned to Hell?

The Realm of Hell seemed to have a strange allure, compelling Fang Heng to take a step forward.

Since he was already here, why not go in and take a look?

Fang Heng gently pushed off with his toes and swiftly entered the passage.

[Hint: The player has entered a special area-Level 7 of Hell.]

[Hint: Due to the player’s special effects, the player is immune to current environmental attribute weakening.]

Two game prompts quickly appeared before his eyes.

After passing through about five to six meters of spatial fluctuation, the dense mist ahead dissipated significantly, revealing a more open terrain and restoring visibility.

The air was filled with an intense heat.

Fang Heng concealed his aura and form, surveying his surroundings.

A familiar hellish landscape with a lava terrain!

Numerous fire demons were basking in the surrounding lava pools.

Not far away, Geoffrey and his group were slowly pushing the cart deeper into the area.

Fang Heng followed at a distance.

Geoffrey made his way through the lava zone until they entered a cave at the back.

From within the cave, Fang Heng could vaguely sense a powerful wave of energy.

It was the demonic seed!

Pride was likely in that cave!

Fang Heng didn’t dare to get too close. He concealed his aura to the utmost and carefully moved to the cave entrance, peering inside with caution.

Inside the cave stood several deep black altars.

A dark aura continuously emanated from the altars.

The demonic seed of Pride sat in the center of the cave, appearing to be in a meditative state.

He seemed to be absorbing the power of the black aura surrounding him.

Altar!

Fang Heng’s eyes narrowed as he examined the clusters of altars inside the cave.

He had seen similar altars at the edge of the Realm of Hell before.

Chaotic power!

Pride was absorbing the chaotic power!

Fang Heng shifted his gaze back to the demonic seed of Pride. Compared to the last time they met, Pride had significantly increased in strength.

It turned out that over the past few days, Pride had been recovering his powers here.

Now, with this level of strength and the environmental boosts from Hell, would he be able to eliminate the pursuers from the Holy Realm?

Fang Heng’s thoughts grew eager.

Looking up again, Geoffrey had already brought his subordinates and several carts to Pride’s side.

Geoffrey respectfully knelt and reported, “Lord of the demonic seed, we have prepared the materials you requested. However, we have encountered some trouble; there are numerous spies at the camp’s periphery. If we leave the primeval forest area, we may clash with the vampires and humans…”

“A bunch of useless fools who can only make excuses.”

Pride opened his eyes, interrupting Geoffrey with a cold huff, waving his hand dismissively, “Forget it, once my strength is fully restored, I will completely annihilate that world.”

Geoffrey kept his head lowered, not daring to speak further.

“What are you still doing here? Leave the materials and scram!”

“Yes.”

Geoffrey stood up, waved his hand, and quickly led his people away.

Pride lifted a hand forward.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The carts on the ground exploded, and the black ore crystals hidden within floated into the air.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!”

A black aura surged from Pride’s body, gathering toward the crystals.

The crystals slowly rotated under the influence of the black fog, and a layer of dark brilliance gradually appeared on their surfaces.

Fang Heng, watching from a distance outside the cave, felt a surge of realization.

These things looked very much like the abyssal magic stones!

So, the abyssal magic stones were personally transformed and created by Pride?

As he pondered this, several game hints appeared.

[Hint: The player’s reward time in the World of Forests has ended. Other players and factions can enter the World of Forests through various means.]

[Hint: The tracking team dispatched by the Holy Realm will attempt to lock onto your location again in 9+15 (additional hours due to holy weapon skill) + 6 (affected by the failure of the advanced game world Tapetel’s descent passage) hours.]

They’re coming!

Fang Heng furrowed his brow upon seeing the game hints and decided not to continue observing.

Now that Pride had been located, it was time to proceed with the original plan!

Fang Heng turned around, continuing to examine the grotto.

The cavernous space of Hell was expansive; besides the area occupied by Pride, there were still many scattered caves.

That one will do!

Fang Heng spotted a relatively hidden cave and quickly slipped inside.
