Chapter 3278: RemnantEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Ahhhh!!!"

The Beetle King let out a shrill scream, his entire body twitching violently under the bombardment of lightning. The tiny snake-like bodies spreading out from his skin exploded one after another, and the barbs on his body fell off under the scourge of God’s Punishment lightning.

"Fang Heng! I want you dead!!"

The remnant will of Tantalus completely fell into madness under the agony and hatred, roaring frantically as his body began to expand rapidly. His originally three-meter-long body instantly grew to ten meters.

"Expanding this much, yet becoming weaker instead."

Fang Heng shook his head slightly, clearly disappointed with Tantalus’s performance.

This guy had indeed absorbed part of the God Clan’s remains’ strength, but since his main body was too weak, he could not fully digest that power. Instead, it became a burden.

Unlike last time, he was now at full strength.

On top of that, after a period of cultivation, all his physical attributes had greatly improved.

"Boom!!"

Fang Heng raised his hand again, and another heavy purple bolt of lightning instantly struck down on Tantalus.

"No! I will not die! I want to devour your flesh and blood! You are nothing but my nourishment...!"

Large chunks of flesh and blood fell from the swollen body.

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

"Ahhh—"

The Beetle King’s screams slowly dissipated under the falling purple God’s Punishment. His massive body rapidly shriveled and dissolved, eventually turning into a puddle of black liquid.

The cavern returned to silence once more.

The elders of the Mycoid Clan looked at the Beetle King Tantalus, whose vitality had completely dissipated, not daring to even breathe loudly, only watching cautiously.

The terrifying creature that the Spawns had left behind for their clan to guard...

Was eliminated?

"Ahem, Brother Fang Heng."

Zane emerged from the shadows, appearing at Fang Heng’s side. He cautiously glanced at the slime on the ground, his heart secretly uneasy.

This brat Fang Heng, after a short time apart, his strength had grown terrifyingly again.

What on earth did he eat to grow like this?

Zane then looked at the God Clan remains on the bronze sacrificial altar and said, "Is this thing really dead? I feel something’s off, and I’ve heard that the Seed of Ouroboros has extremely strong vitality. We better handle this carefully."

"Mm, you’re right. We came a bit late. Tantalus had already started fusing with the remains, so it’s difficult to completely eliminate him."

Fang Heng said as he slowly walked toward the bronze sacrificial altar.

The Seed of Ouroboros would not die so easily!

Especially since Tantalus was the new Beetle King!

Fang Heng stopped at the edge of the bronze sacrificial altar.

Looking up, he saw that the God Clan remains on the altar had already calmed, and the black mottling on the surface was rapidly fading.

On the surface, they looked restored, but inside the remains, the Seed of Ouroboros’s strength was still being nurtured.

Tantalus was merely in a false-death state, his cells and will already half-fused into the remains.

"But... I have a way."

Fang Heng said as he gently raised his hand toward the remains.

"Chi! Chi chi!!"

Three dark cocoons shot out one after another from the wounds breaking open on the remains’ surface, landing steadily in Fang Heng’s hand.

[Hint: The player obtained Broken Seed of Ouroboros Cocoon (extreme) *3.]

Done!

As the cocoons were removed, the wounds on the remains’ body slowly healed again.

Zane curiously leaned closer and asked, "What’s this?"

"You can think of it as the source of Tantalus’s strength. Without it, Tantalus cannot suppress the remains’ power. The remains will automatically expel the invading Seed of Ouroboros fusion."

"Of course, this will take some time."

Zane thought about it, finding the Seed of Ouroboros system completely different from the Evil God’s system. He no longer dwelled on it and simply praised, "Brother Fang, impressive."

"Not bad."

Fang Heng answered half-heartedly, frowning slightly.

Something was wrong.

Back when he perished together with the Beetle King, he had seen around fifteen cocoons.

Before crossing into the Netherworld, to prevent the Beetle King from reviving too quickly, he had used his last bit of strength to obtain two. Now, adding the three he just got, that made only five.

Where were the rest?

Just as he was thinking, hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from deep within the cavern.

"Patriarch, invaders, we encountered invaders!"

Invaders?

Again?

The Mycoid elders exchanged doubtful looks, turning their heads toward Fang Heng.

Were they Fang Heng’s companions?

Fang Heng also raised his head curiously, his gaze moving toward the cavern passage.

It was not the Evil Clan, but the aura of the Seed of Ouroboros’s strength!

Tantalus’s subordinate insect servants?

Perfect, he could ask them for intelligence about the cocoons.

"Let’s go check."

Fang Heng said as his figure flickered rapidly, darting toward the direction of the Seed of Ouroboros’s aura.

Zane followed closely behind, shadow power surging around him as he turned into a shadow form trailing after Fang Heng.

The Mycoid clansmen exchanged glances and quickly followed as well.

...

Fang Heng moved along the winding fungal passages and soon heard the sounds of fierce battle ahead.

The acid secreted from the fused worm bodies of the Mycoids splashed through the air, while three humanoid mutant worms of the Seed of Ouroboros stood at the center of the outer cavern battlefield. Around them, the one-horned mutant worms they controlled were fiercely battling the fused Mycoid worms.

More and more mutant worm bodies crawled into the cavern from outside, swiftly slaughtering large swathes of Mycoid worms.

Huh?

Suddenly, one of the insect servants sensed something, snapping his head up to look at the figure appearing at the front of the cavern. A look of surprise flickered in his eyes.

That was...?

A kin’s aura!

The aura spilling out from Fang Heng’s body was unlike any other kin he had ever seen!

Where had this one come from?

The insect servant was filled with doubt and was just about to speak when that figure suddenly flashed.

Not good!

The insect servant’s pupils widened sharply.

The next instant, Fang Heng’s figure appeared before him. The insect servant could only instinctively raise both arms to block.

"Boom!!!!"

The insect servant’s pupils shrank.

A terrifying power surged toward him!

In an instant, he was blasted away, his arms and entire thorax shattered!

The other two insect servants only then perceived the sudden eruption of power nearby. They whipped their heads around to see Fang Heng at their side, horror flashing in their eyes.

Who was that guy?

When did he...?

Almost simultaneously, the two insect servants instinctively counterattacked. Their right arms mutated, bursting out from within their bodies, opening into hideous gaping maws that lunged at Fang Heng from left and right!

Fang Heng let out a cold humph, raising his hand slightly as the dark-gold alchemy magic array in his right eye’s pupil spun rapidly.
