Chapter 2994: Shattered
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the way, Fang Heng occasionally encountered ice crystal puppets gathering and rising from the ice surface.
He simply smashed them with a punch.
After wandering around for more than half an hour, Fang Heng stopped.
Ahead appeared an open domain surrounded by ice crystals.
Huh?
On the ground, covered by thick ice, a layer of light green vine plants was unexpectedly growing.
Fang Heng realized he had arrived at a plant growth zone.
At the center of the domain stood a towering ice crystal stone pillar.
The stone pillar was entwined by green vines.
Around the stone pillar, flowers were blooming in abundance.
They were flowers Fang Heng had never seen before, covered in a layer of frost.
Tall, frost-covered ancient trees stood upright in the central region, forming a small forest.
Fang Heng looked up and stared at the eerie forest, releasing his perception.
Strange—was this natural element power?
It was just elemental type before, and now it had switched to natural?
Fang Heng tried stepping forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
As he approached, the frost thorn flower demons sensed an intruder, and the direction in which their blossoms opened all shifted toward Fang Heng.
"Shoo! Shoo shoo!!"
In the next instant, frost-covered leaves flew toward Fang Heng densely, enveloping him in their attack range.
"Hmph!"
Fang Heng snorted softly, and his aura exploded suddenly!
"Bang! Bang bang!"
The leaves flying at Fang Heng shattered in midair.
Whoosh!
With a light tap of his toe on the ground, Fang Heng darted forward at high speed, ignoring the massive wave of incoming frost leaves, rushing into the midst of the frost thorn flower demons.
"Bang! Bang bang bang!!!"
All the frost leaves that attacked Fang Heng continuously exploded on his body with a boom, forming layers of ice crystals on the surface of his skin, but they were completely unable to affect him in any way.
They couldn’t even break through his defense!
Huh?
Fang Heng frowned slightly.
The bark of a tall ancient tree in front of the flower demons quickly fell away, and its roots slowly detached from the ground, the trunk positioning itself in front of Fang Heng.
A treant!
The frost ancient tree elder swung its thick frost-covered branch heavily at Fang Heng!
Heh!
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and swept forward with the metal long rod in his hand!
"Bang!!!"
One strike!
The entire frost ancient tree elder exploded in front of Fang Heng!
A faint aura of natural energy leaked out from the shattered fragments of the ancient tree, quickly absorbed into Fang Heng’s body, settling in his sea of consciousness.
Fang Heng’s mind stirred.
Natural element energy!
His natural science level had also reached the maximum level, and he currently lacked an advancement book to level up further.
Just like before, the natural element energy didn’t dissipate automatically—it stayed entrenched in his sea of consciousness.
Earlier, he encountered an elemental type.
Now it was a natural type.
It seemed like this domain was meant to test players’ abilities—a place to provide academic energy.
Could this be the so-called Enlightenment treasure?
"Whoosh!"
Fang Heng stopped thinking, and his figure darted rapidly through the frost ancient tree elders and frost thorn flower demons, continuously swinging the alloy long rod in his hand.
"Bang! Bang! Bang bang!!!"
Natural element creatures in the forest domain kept exploding in large numbers, and streams of pure natural element energy flowed into his body.
After clearing for a while, Fang Heng stopped his attack and took a step back, withdrawing from the battle zone.
Something felt wrong.
The frost ancient tree elders and frost thorn flower demons were regenerating extremely fast—no matter how many he eliminated, new ones kept growing, seemingly endless.
Normally, he wouldn’t be in a rush. He could just slowly grind it out and farm natural energy along the way.
But now it was different.
He had other matters to attend to.
Right.
That thing in the middle.
That strange ice crystal stone pillar.
Shoo!
Fang Heng accelerated again, smashed two frost ancient tree elders blocking the way with his metal rod, and rushed straight toward the central ice crystal stone pillar, ignoring the attacks of the surrounding natural element creatures.
He examined it closely after approaching.
The outer layer of the stone pillar was wrapped in vines, beneath which was a thick layer of ice crystals, and only at the bottom could the stone pillar’s engraved surface be seen.
"Pa!"
With a strike of the rod, the outer ice crystal and vines instantly shattered, revealing the underlying pillar.
It looked like some kind of ritual stone pillar.
There were runes within the carved patterns that could be activated.
Fang Heng tried touching one of the rune crystals with his finger.
"Buzz...!"
The rune crystal lit up faintly at the touch.
Immediately, a ripple of natural element energy surged from within the ritual stone pillar, flowing directly into Fang Heng’s body through his finger.
Natural element energy!
It was hundreds of times more than what he gained from killing natural creatures!
Fang Heng’s eyelid twitched slightly—such a good deal?
Absorb!
Absorb it all!
Fang Heng kept his right hand pressed on the altar-like stone pillar. With a flick of his left wrist, the Holy Book of Oaths appeared before him.
Skill-Thunder of Judgment!
Positive effect: He had a chance to deal lightning counter-damage upon receiving physical attacks.
Fang Heng quickly applied the Thunder of Judgment counter effect to himself and stood boldly in place, ignoring the attacking natural element creatures as he continued absorbing the energy overflowing from the altar.
Boom! Boom boom!!!
Natural element creatures gathered in the frost forest domain continuously attacked Fang Heng. The Thunder of Judgment effect triggered frequently, striking them with bolts of purple lightning.
Fang Heng’s defense was already strong enough to withstand most attacks. With his undead body’s self-recovery effect, taking the damage was no issue.
With his high mental strength, the Judgment lightning counterattack effect was terrifying!
Each lightning strike had a small area of effect, and with every strike, a portion of the area would be cleared of enemies, leaving behind natural energy that flowed rapidly into Fang Heng’s body.
Fang Heng shifted his gaze away from the surrounding natural creatures and looked down at the altar again.
Absorb it!
Now familiar with the energy flow from the altar, he actively pushed his mental strength to draw out the power.
Immediately, dozens of times more powerful natural energy surged out and flooded into his sea of consciousness.
If it had been an ordinary player, their sea of consciousness wouldn’t have been able to withstand so much natural element energy.
But Fang Heng was different. His sea of consciousness had been expanded multiple times, and with boosts from Abe Akaya, the demonic seed, and necromancy, the space in his sea of consciousness was vast.
A frenzy of absorption!
He took in as much as it gave!
After more than five full minutes of absorption, the stone altar’s natural energy was completely depleted, even the last drop sucked dry. Only then did Fang Heng let go.
The stone pillar, having lost its power, quickly weathered away into a pile of dust.
Fang Heng glanced around.
With the central stone pillar gone, the natural creatures on the ice stopped spawning, and the vines attached to the ice surface rapidly faded away.
