Chapter 2440 The Collision
The violent ripples generated by the collision even tore apart the surrounding air!
The chilling aura of death and the spreading holy light of God rapidly dissipated!
The statue of God trembled violently under the berserk impact of the dragon, with fine cracks spreading quickly over its entire surface.
“Boom!!!”
The statue of God shattered!
Golden fragments exploded outward at high speed, only to rapidly fade under the domain aura of the Frostbone Dragon.
“Pfft!!”
Orkney spat out a mouthful of blood and was hurled backward like a kite with a broken string!
“Sir!”
The Purifiers who had accompanied him were alarmed.
In their understanding, it was almost impossible for the Holy Realm’s adjudicator to be defeated, yet they saw Orkney gravely injured by a single blow from the dragon!
They immediately rushed towards the severely injured Orkney.
At that moment, Fang Heng, engaged in a ritual within the sea of consciousness, felt a jolt upon seeing the situation outside.
The death knight was so powerful?
One strike was enough to severely injure Orkney?!
“Chase them!”
Fang Heng initially wondered why they weren’t pursuing, but upon closer inspection, he noticed that fine cracks had also appeared on the outer armor of the death knight.
“I see…”
Fang Heng realized that the two sides were actually evenly matched, with the death knight being slightly stronger. However, the death knight’s ability to fight while possessing another’s body limited the Frostbone Dragon’s full potential.
Meanwhile, Orkney and his group were also affected by the undead power of the Punoze world, resulting in a significant reduction in their strength.
“Hey, if I remember correctly, your name is Fang Heng, right?”
Fang Heng’s heart stirred upon hearing the call from the death knight’s sea of consciousness.
“Very impressive, your strength.”
The death knight’s voice was laced with a hint of approval. He continued gravely, “I will fulfill your wish. I will help you eliminate every single person in the Holy Realm. But as you can see, I need to fully possess your body’s strength.”
“What?”
“Do you remember what I told you? Apart from will, nothing is eternal; everything decays over time.”
“You are no different. Rather than slowly deteriorating with time, why not achieve something more meaningful?”
The death knight’s tone grew darker, “Remember my words as the final reward for the use of your body.”
What?!
Fang Heng’s pupils contracted sharply, and he suddenly felt the death knight’s willpower rapidly washing over his sea of consciousness!
“In the name of Empress Persephone, surrender your vessel and take pride in it…”
The ice crystals that had been dwelling in the sea of consciousness abruptly surged, emitting a faint blue ripple!
Almost simultaneously, the death knight’s willpower began to invade through the imprint of the ice crystal!
This was bad!
Fang Heng realized in a flash that the death knight was trying to seize control of his body and was attempting to seal his will!
He couldn’t let this happen!
Fang Heng reacted immediately, channeling his mental strength to seal off the ice crystal imprint.
“Why resist? As a follower of Empress Persephone, you should be honored!” The death knight’s voice grew impatient. “Since you are so obstinate, I will utterly annihilate your will!”
Whoosh!
The ice crystal suddenly erupted, sending a chilling aura rapidly spreading through the sea of consciousness!
Fang Heng’s heart sank.
With the enhancement of dimensional strength, his willpower was considerable, but compared to an ancient entity like the death knight, it still fell short.
The difference was fundamentally on a different scale.
There’s no choice—fight it out!
Even if he didn’t want to, he had no other option!
If his will were destroyed, he would become one of the undead puppets in Empress Persephone’s mausoleum!
Fang Heng immediately mobilized his willpower, charging it toward the ice crystal’s will!
“Still trying to resist?!”
“Wait! What is that?!”
Just as the death knight was about to annihilate Fang Heng’s will, he experienced an intense shock the moment their wills made contact.
What!
That power!
The death knight’s willpower nearly shattered upon contact with Fang Heng’s willpower.
An overwhelmingly potent, relentless will that even the death knight could only look up to!
The eternal will born from the deepest abyss.
A force that fundamentally could not be destroyed!
Could it be that he was…
A demonic seed!
The death knight’s mind raced, suddenly terrified, and his will desperately tried to withdraw from Fang Heng’s sea of consciousness.
“Whoosh!!!”
In the next moment, before the death knight could utter another word, the death knight’s will was completely annihilated by Fang Heng’s willpower.
High above, atop the dragon’s head, Fang Heng’s eyes suddenly snapped open. The armor covering him disintegrated into ashes.
“Whoosh!!!”
Fang Heng took a deep breath, quickly regaining control of his body.
D*mn it!
The death knight!
Just as he returned to his senses, Fang Heng’s heart raced wildly. He had come dangerously close to disaster.
At the last moment, his strong will had managed to turn the tables and eliminate the death knight.
Now, Fang Heng began to realize why the undead faction had chosen to seal the entire death knight space. It was likely to prevent necromancers from being deceived and possessed by the death knight.
It was sheer luck that the death knight had run into him.
The power of the demonic seed…
Fang Heng gave a self-deprecating smile.
Regarding the concept of eternal will, the Holy Court had made countless attempts, both in sealing and killing, but the demonic seed could always resurrect.
Wasn’t it just the so-called eternal will the death knight had babbled about?
Wait a minute!
In other words…
Fang Heng pondered, stroking his chin.
If he could find a way to eradicate the will of ‘Jealousy,’ could he completely eliminate ‘Jealousy’ itself?
Or, at the very least, if he could weaken its will…
While lost in these thoughts, Fang Heng suddenly felt a jolt.
What?!
The Frostbone Dragon beneath him had sensed something and began to become agitated.
This was bad.
“Karian!”
Fang Heng shouted, “Karian, calm down! Calm down, I’m one of you!”
“Roar!!!”
The Frostbone Dragon ignored Fang Heng’s plea. Without the death knight’s control, it immediately sped away into the distance.
In the high altitude, Fang Heng felt himself rapidly flying forward, the intense wind pressure making it difficult to breathe.
D*mn it!
What to do?
The Frostbone Dragon had clearly lost control.
The death knight hadn’t taught him how to control the dragon, and with his current strength, he was incapable of commanding the Frostbone Dragon.
Should he use beast taming?
No way!
Fang Heng quickly dismissed the idea. With his mid-tier beast taming skills, controlling the Frostbone Dragon was out of the question and would likely provoke its resistance.
In its current state, the Frostbone Dragon would see him as nothing more than a nuisance and completely ignore him.
What now?!
