Chapter 2718  Spirit Body

Ji Xiaobo also jolted slightly, a cold sweat immediately beading on his forehead. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Fang, I can't go any further. My attributes aren't enough, I can't continue."

"Mm, understood."

Fang Heng acknowledged and controlled the Bone Dragon to pull back.

It wasn't just Ji Xiaobo; even the soul and will of the Bone Dragon beneath them were affected, becoming restless.

As they gradually moved away from the periphery of the Abyss of Despair, Fang Heng looked back and saw that Ji Xiaobo was still drenched in sweat, his face pale and haggard.

"The Abyss of Despair is dangerous. You're not suited to continue exploring. Head back for now. If anything happens, I'll contact you offline."

"Alright."

Ji Xiaobo had already suffered considerable backlash just from entering the periphery and dared not continue. He nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Fang, you be careful too."

"Mm!"

Fang Heng nodded and then leapt off the Bone Dragon's back.

He plunged downward, falling from a great height before landing and immediately entering the secondary space projection.

Hmm? Something seemed off.

The surrounding Nests of Disaster and Disaster creatures seemed unaware of his presence. Unlike before, they weren't showing any signs of aggression and were instead levitating in the surrounding area.

Upon closer inspection, Fang Heng noticed that the Nests of Disaster had stopped producing Disaster creatures.

Strange.

What was going on with these Disaster creatures here?

This was actually quite convenient, as it saved him a lot of trouble.

Fang Heng simply exited the secondary space projection state and continued to slowly move forward.

Unknowingly, the number of soul bodies around him began to increase.

Fang Heng had already fully entered the depths of the Abyss of Despair, blending in with the soulless spiritual bodies that wandered with blank, vacant expressions. He followed along, moving slowly forward with them.

As he ventured deeper into the Disaster zone, the surroundings looked no different from the periphery he had seen earlier. However, the feeling of his soul and will being interfered with became more distinct.

At first, Fang Heng could rely on his strong basic attributes to completely immune himself to negative effects. But as the negative effects gradually intensified, he began to feel the influence more and more.

[Hint: The player has entered a special environmental domain. The player is being affected by an unknown force.]

His will occasionally drifted, and he gradually found himself more attracted to the deeper parts of the Abyss of Despair. He had to focus all his attention to keep himself from losing control and pulling his wandering will back into focus.

Unknowingly, he had already entered a barren land area.

The Nests of Disaster had long stopped spreading.

Fang Heng furrowed his brows tightly.

His soul strength had greatly increased after advancing in God-level necromancy. Additionally, with the extra soul strength from Abe Akaya and the willpower boost from the demonic seed, his strength was immense.

With his current power, he could even command more than three hundred Bone Dragons to fight without the assistance of the Dark Clan War Knights!

However, even with such strength, he was still affected by the unknown force of the Abyss of Despair.

Hmm?

What was that?!

Fang Heng suddenly noticed light spots twinkling in the space ahead, resembling stars.

They were also soul bodies!

The light spots sensed Fang Heng's presence and emitted faint glows, levitating in midair to form soul warriors holding long swords.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"

Dozens of soul warriors, levitating in midair, rapidly advanced toward Fang Heng!

Trouble!

Fang Heng muttered inwardly, realizing the situation had just become complicated.

It was possible that, due to his current physical form, the soul warriors had detected his difference from the surrounding soul bodies.

However, at that moment, having just lost the Empress' Underworld God bloodline, Fang Heng was unable to enter the Underworld God's soul body state.

"Whoosh!"

Fang Heng summoned the Empress's scepter with his right hand, sweeping it forward forcefully.

"Bang!!!"

The scepter was swung forward!

The Empress' scepter simultaneously carried the Underworld Fire and the freezing effects of soul ice, along with additional damage from Fang Heng's spiritual attributes!

Several soul warriors charging toward him were directly hit by the scepter, emitting a sharp screech before bursting apart in the air with a loud bang, turning into ashes.

But that was a problem!

The screech of the dying soul warriors attracted more soul lights from the distance.

After repelling one vengeful spirit warrior, Fang Heng's attack inadvertently triggered more soul warriors from behind.

Retreat!

Fang Heng quickly stepped back, pressing his toes to the ground as he swiftly retreated.

Huh?

He glanced behind him and noticed that the soul warriors were not as fast as him. After chasing a short distance, they stopped, taking aim in shooting stances.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"

Soul bows and arrows materialized in the hands of the soul warriors.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!"

A dense volley of arrows flew toward him.

This was bad! It was a ranged attack!

Moreover, the attacks were soul-locked!

Fang Heng didn't dare to be careless. He quickly retreated into the secondary space projection, relying on it to avoid the attack.

This wasn't going to be easy.

In the Abyss of Despair, a special environment, he still had to deal with the disturbance of the soul.

At the same time, he was facing so many vengeful spirit creatures. One mistake could lead to his undoing. Not to mention, when he looked ahead, the sea of soul bodies seemed endless, with no clear end in sight.

Wait!

He suddenly had an idea!

His zombie clone!

Fang Heng remembered the zombie clone skill.

He could use the clone to fight.

The zombie clone lacked a soul, meaning it wouldn't be affected by the soul disturbances.

The only trouble was that the enemy was composed of spiritual creatures, and the zombie clone lacked magical attacks...

But it didn't matter!

Fang Heng began flipping through his skill inventory.

Fang Heng quickly realized he had another powerful option to use: the holy element's Thunder of Judgment.

Skill-Thunder of Judgment!

When attacked by enemies, there is a chance to trigger the effect of the Thunder of Judgment. This dual attack, combining holy and lightning attributes, has a strong suppressive effect on soul body creatures.

Fang Heng quickly devised a battle plan while maintaining his secondary space projection state, retreating backward until he had completely escaped the pursuit range of the soul warriors.

The next batch of zombie clones would be resurrected in just over half an hour—he'd have to wait.

Fang Heng stood in place, waiting for the resurrection time of the next batch of clones.

After about half an hour, the next batch of zombie clones was ready to revive.

Magical arrays appeared around him, and the Lickers began crawling out one by one from the arrays.

As expected, the zombie clones, lacking souls, were unaffected by the negative effects of the Abyss of Despair.

Fang Heng quickly switched to his sacred form, summoning the Holy Book in his hand. He then cast the Thunder of Judgment skill on the zombie clones.

Given his high mental strength, Fang Heng could easily restore the mental energy needed for holy skills like Thunder of Judgment almost instantly.

Unfortunately, the Thunder of Judgment couldn't be used in large areas; it had to be manually applied to individual targets.

Soon, the group of Lickers, now glowing with purple energy, rushed forward.

The soul warriors sensed the approaching enemies and immediately charged toward the Lickers.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

The Thunder of Judgment skill's probability of activation was tied to the number of attacks received. After a brief moment of intense close-quarters battle, the passive Thunder of Judgment effects triggered one after another!

Purple lightning bolts descended upon the undead creatures, each strike dealing damage in the tens of thousands!
