Chapter 2178 Invasion
"Click..."
A very faint sound.
The magnetic suction was dislodged and attached underneath the central machine.
Immediately, Ji Haiting's voice came through the earpiece.
"Fang Heng, connection established! We are currently infiltrating the network. We still need some time; the spawns may detect anomalies at any moment. Do your best to stall for time, the longer, the better. Be extremely cautious."
Fang Heng remained calm and turned to Heli beside him, asking, "How long has the central machine been running?"
"How long?"
Heli thought for a moment and said, "From the beginning of its establishment, it has been over a hundred years, and there have been twenty-nine turnovers since then. Are there plans to replace it this year? I haven't received any news."
"Well, there's such a plan. We are currently conducting preliminary assessments."
Fang Heng glanced at the central control instrument, then looked at the spawns condensing the pillar of light beside him.
He sensed a peculiar energy ripple from the spawns, reminiscent of the aura he had felt from the tree spirit race.
"Are they just transmitting signals?"
"What do you mean?" Heli felt puzzled and asked in return, "What else could they be transmitting if not signals?"
"Yes, that's true."
Fang Heng shrugged, glanced around, and continued, "Supporting such a large spiritual domain network requires a significant energy supply, right? I don't seem to see the energy supply devices here."
"I was curious about that when I first arrived here. Later, I heard that it was due to the special ability of the spawns. They can utilize a unique energy to transmit signals and directly receive energy from the outside."
"The entire central control network, unless it encounters high-frequency attacks that require large-scale spatial transmission to be completed in a short time, consuming a large amount of energy, in most cases, the spiritual domain blockade can autonomously provide energy."
"The energy supply area of the spiritual domain is directly below us." Heli nodded, her gaze shifting to the left side of the hall, explaining, "That's where the spawns have established the central energy field, and it's guarded by them."
"Is there another domain below?" Fang Heng asked, turning his gaze to the left.
There was a disc-shaped mechanical device on the floor that could be opened to access the area below.
It was currently closed.
"Buzz, buzz..."
"As they were speaking, the central control mechanism of the spiritual domain blockade behind them emitted a buzzing sound.
Immediately afterward, the pale blue pillar of light rising on the right side of the hall also showed anomalies, with the emanating energy waves becoming extremely unstable, flickering intermittently.
"Hmm? Did something malfunction?"
Heli noticed something was wrong and walked over to inspect the central control instrument, her eyes showing a hint of puzzlement.
Meanwhile, Ji Haiting's voice came through Fang Heng's earpiece.
"Fang Heng, the virus has been successfully implanted. We are temporarily disrupting the network domain, and the spawns have already sensed the anomaly. It may be dangerous to stay there. Find a way to leave immediately."
As Ji Haiting's voice trailed off, the spawns who were controlling the communication pillars became aware of something amiss. They opened their eyes and turned their heads towards Fang Heng and Heli.
Heli looked nervous, still trying to restore the status of the central control mechanism.
What was happening? How did this happen so suddenly?
Heli had no idea what was happening. Suddenly, the entire control mechanism went into emergency response mode, and most operations were locked and rendered ineffective.
In an instant, Heli felt like she was being watched, her body going cold. It seemed like a special force was binding her in place, making her unable to move.
Turning her head, Heli looked at the two spawns walking towards her, feeling a surge of fear.
"What? I... I don't know."
The spawns' retinas reflected the information of Fang Heng and Heli, while rapidly displaying various analysis and comparison data.
[Unknown risk detected... Information anomaly confirmed...]
"Director Ji! Help me shut down the entire hall!"
Heli suddenly heard a stern shout in her ear, followed by her heart feeling like it was being squeezed, suspended in mid-air.
Swoosh!
Fang Heng darted past her like a gust of wind, heading straight toward the two spawns ahead.
"Swoosh!"
A great holy sword materialized in Fang Heng's hand as he swung heavily towards the spawn on the right!
"Whoosh!"
The protective shield crystal surrounding the spawn instantly expanded.
"Bang!"
Under the impact of the great holy sword, several cracks appeared on the crystal shield surrounding the spawn!
The spawn was forcefully knocked back!
Almost simultaneously, the remaining spawns in the hall locked their attacks on Fang Heng.
"Heh!"
Fang Heng chuckled coldly, facing the approaching spawns. He extended his hand forward.
Book of Oaths!
In an instant, dense dark golden remnants of sacred pages surged out from the Book of Oaths, attacking the dozens of spawns ahead!
"Bam! Bam! Bam!!!"
The sacred remnant pages struck the crystalline barriers surrounding the spawns, continuously exploding with holy power, pushing them backward.
On the other side, Ji Haiting, seeing Fang Heng taking the initiative, was astonished.
He was going all out?
This was completely different from the plan!
Not good!
Fortunately, Ji Haiting's subordinates were well-prepared and signaled to him that everything was under control.
Immediately, Ji Haiting contacted Fang Heng through the earpiece, "Fang Heng! I've temporarily sealed off the lower area. The people outside are unaware of what's happening inside. Make sure the spawns don't leave the room. We're trying to sever the connection between the area and the main spiritual domain network, but it'll take some time!"
Fang Heng nodded as he listened to the message.
So, the next step.
All he needed to do was take out all the spawns.
There were a total of fourteen of them.
"Ka, ka, ka, ka..."
Fang Heng turned his gaze to the right.
The vine that had been wrapped around Fang Heng's arm transformed back into the form of Raven when he initiated his actions earlier. Raven condensed a natural science imprint with his hands in front of him.
Observing Fang Heng's gaze, Raven spoke in a deep voice, "Fang Heng, I still need a bit more time."
"Got it, leave it to me."
No longer focusing on Raven, Fang Heng directed his attention back to the group of over ten spawns in front of him.
In the hall, aside from two guards, the other spawns weren't combatants, slightly weaker individually compared to the spawn warriors encountered before.
After being suppressed by Fang Heng's Book of Oaths, the spawns quickly regained their footing, assuming defensive stances and preparing their attack imprints.
Alright.
Let's do this!
Fang Heng was prepared to go all out.
He had ample experience in this regard.
When fighting spawns, it was all about going hard! Sacrificing defense for offense!
Focus on one target and hit hard!
With a fierce glint in his eyes, Fang Heng swiftly dashed towards the spawn he had just blasted away!
"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!!!"
Once again, invisible mental strength attacks surged towards Fang Heng!
