Chapter 2524 Doubts


    He decided to let it remain here for a while longer.


    Who knows, the next time he came back, he might be able to absorb even more.


    With that thought in mind, Fang Heng turned to look at Ophiel beside him.


    Ophiel felt a chill run down his spine as Fang Heng''s gazended on him, and an uneasy feeling crept into his heart.


    "It seems we need to find a way to deal with the crystal if we want to leave this ce," Fang Heng said.


    The crystal?


    Ophiel felt his eyelids twitch slightly as he looked up at the crystal again.


    "The crystal is the main body of the seal. If we keep damaging it, I believe the people outside will be worried about the state of the seal and will inevitablye down to check," Fang Heng said, flipping his wrist to summon the great holy sword once more. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    "Step back."


    Ophiel''s expression tightened at those words, and he quickly moved backward.


    "Boom!!!"


    Fang Heng raised his hand, swinging the great holy sword once again toward the crystal seal!


    ...


    Starry Mage Tower.


    The elder guarding the tower had a grave expression. Since just now, the fluctuations beneath the seal had grown increasingly intense, as if they were truly experiencing violent impacts.


    What on earth was happening?!


    Was it rted to the Death God they had encountered earlier?


    Initially, the n was to confine the Death God within the sealed space for suppression, but after a brief pause, the sealed space below had be even more restless!


    If this continued, it would be problematic if the crystal pir were damaged.


    Once the Jealousy demonic seed broke through the seal, not only would their research association be in jeopardy, but the entire world would also face a crisis.


    A thinyer of cold sweat formed on the elder''s forehead.


    The elite schrs assisting in guarding the seal opened their eyes and cautioned, "Elder, based on the reactions from the seal fluctuations below, if this continues, the sealing crystal pir will soon suffer damage."


    After a moment of contemtion, the elder took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Understood. Prepare for battle. Open the seal immediately; we need to check what''s happening."


    "Yes!"


    The group surrounding him simultaneously condensed their imprints before them.


    As the magic array was activated, celestial runes flickered in the air.


    The central sealed gate reopened, coalescing in the hall''s mid-air.


    Suddenly, a pitch-ck spatial rift appeared in the center of the Starry Hall.


    It didn''t seem to show any anomalies.


    The fluctuations in the sealednd below showed no signs of weakening.


    "You two, follow me inside to take a look! The rest stay behind to control the Star Mage magic array!"


    The elder nodded lightly and led his two direct disciples into the sealing passage.


    As the three stepped forward, the elder''s expression suddenly changed the moment he entered the passage.


    Not good!


    A shadow leaped from the ck hole, darting past him at high speed, heading toward the exit!


    This is bad!


    Was it the Death God they had just encountered?


    He had escaped!


    The elder realized it was toote to pursue; a deep sense of foreboding rose within him.


    Was that shadow... Jealousy?!


    In the next moment, the elder and his two subordinates entered the sealednd below.


    They looked up sharply and saw that the central stone pir, the crystal, stood intact, with the sealed essence of Jealousy still contained within it.


    The elder let out a sigh of relief.


    The sealing pir remained undamaged.


    As long as the Jealousy demonic seed was still sealed, everything could be salvaged.


    That shadow must have been an intruder.


    Quickly, the elder connected the dots.


    The invader had deliberately damaged the crystal to create a disturbance, luring them into the sealednd to investigate and using that opportunity to escape.


    The elder recalled his recent battle with the Death God, shaking his head in silence. The ult schrs left outside were probably no match for that Death God.


    "Elder."


    "What is it?"


    One subordinate nced around the sealed area, frowning. "The number of demonic seeds has decreased significantly."


    The elder followed his gaze and noticed the same, a look of astonishment crossing his face. Aside from the coiled Ophiel in the corner, the other demonic seeds seemed to have vanished.


    What was going on? Where were the other sealed demonic seeds?


    "And, Elder, there''s something strange about the Jealousy demonic seed," another subordinate said, pointing out his findings as he examined the crystal pir.


    The elder stepped forward, approaching the yellow crystal pir for a closer inspection.


    The Jealousy demonic seed sealed within the crystal pir still showed signs of life, but it appeared emaciated, with a dullplexion that suggested it was near death.


    What had happened here?


    What exactly was going on?


    He had never heard of a Death God having the ability to absorb vitality like this.


    "Elder, he might know something," one of the schrs said.


    Everyone turned their gaze toward the corner where Ophiel was coiled.


    ...


    In the high levels of the Starry Mage Tower, just as the elder had predicted, the ordinary high-tier ult schrs were no match for Fang Heng.


    A shadow darted swiftly out from the sealing passage.


    The schrs had already prepared in advance andunched an interception together.


    Death scythe!


    "Bang!!!"


    As a dark light exploded, the shadow of the Death God quickly darted out from the st, charging directly at the nearest high-tier ult schr.


    "Whoosh!!!"


    The high-tier schr felt a sh before his eyes and then saw the phantom of the Death God appear before him. The skeletal hand of the Death God tightly gripped his neck, slowly lifting him into the air.


    "Let him go!"


    The other schrs reacted quickly, all turning to Fang Heng and shouting, but they hesitated to act, fearing he might harm theirpanion.


    The ult schr whose neck was gripped by the Death God felt a chill of sweat soak his back. He finally understood the meaning of "the Death God is right in front of you," staring helplessly at the figure before him.


    Fang Heng, his face hidden beneath the Death God''s hood, spoke in a raspy voice, "You have one chance to answer my question. Where is the Book of Greleng?"


    "I-I..." The schr''s throat bobbed as he replied, "It''s in the lower levels of the White Mage Tower."


    "Bang!!!"


    Another dark sh exploded, and taking advantage of the rippling aura of death, Fang Heng swiftly darted towards the exit, disappearing from the view of the ult schrs.


    The high-tier schr who had just been gripped by the Death God felt utterly drained, copsing to the ground, drenched in cold sweat. In a single move, he had been leftpletely defenseless against that figure''s attack.


    The remaining schrs exchanged nces, their eyes reflecting a mix of fear and disbelief. The battle hadsted only seconds, and there were no more than three people who had truly seen the Death God''s face.


    The entity was incredibly powerful; if it had chosen to, it could have easily wiped them all out.


    So its true goal was the Book of Greleng?


    Had they inadvertently misled it to the Starry Mage Tower?


    For some reason, the schrs felt a strange sense of relief wash over them as if they had narrowly escaped a catastrophe.
