Chapter 3279: InformationEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Shadow’s Embrace!

In an instant, a shadowy veil condensed around Fang Heng’s body!

"Boom! Boom boom boom!!!"

The enormous mandibles bit down on the shadowy veil front and back, exploding apart. The mutated arms of the two Seed of Ouroboros insect attendants instantly shattered under the blast of the shadow aura!

The aftershock of the explosion rapidly spread along their mutated right arms toward their bodies!

All the areas covered by the shadow aftershock immediately turned an ashen gray!

Not good!

Seeing this, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the two insect attendants. Almost at the same time, they swung their other arms to sever the infected limbs, then fled madly to the left and right.

The three insect attendants were on the verge of collapse.

They had faintly perceived the aura of the beetle king, which was why they chased over, wanting to check on beetle king Tantalus’s condition. They never expected that after arriving, they would not find the beetle king but instead encounter a clansman they had never seen before.

The other side attacked without a word.

And his strength was terrifying. In just one move, the three of them were severely wounded.

A thought arose in all three of their hearts.

"Run!"

After shouting, the three immediately fled toward the cavern’s exit.

"God’s Punishment."

The next moment, they almost simultaneously heard a casual voice from behind.

"Boom!"

A violet thunderbolt fell, striking one of the insect attendants with pinpoint precision.

"Ah—!!"

The insect attendant let out a shrill scream as his body rapidly collapsed under the scouring of the thunderbolt, revealing a rotting corpse already completely parasitized by the insect race.

"Whoosh!!"

Fang Heng raised his hand again. From the still-collapsing body of the insect attendant, a Seed of Ouroboros cocoon was forcibly extracted and flew into his palm.

[Hint: The player obtained Seed of Ouroboros (high-tier)*1.]

Almost at the same time, the insect attendant’s body, having lost its cocoon, could no longer sustain itself. Under the residual damage of God’s Punishment, it swiftly dissolved into a lump of decayed flesh that fell to the ground.

The other two fleeing insect attendants became even more panicked when they heard the noise behind them and ran for their lives.

This was terrifying!

What kind of move was that!?

Without exception, the Seeds of Ouroboros all possessed extremely powerful vitality.

Not to mention those left behind by the beetle king—they were all the elites of their generation of Seeds of Ouroboros.

But the other party had taken one of them out in a single move?

While the two were still in shock, a cold voice came from ahead.

"Still not stopping? Do you want me to kill you all?"

The two insect attendants’ expressions changed drastically.

Looking closely, they saw Fang Heng stepping out of the void, cutting them off in advance.

Cold sweat immediately poured down their faces. They had no choice but to stop, staring at Fang Heng with terrified eyes, their voices trembling.

"Who are you?"

"Humph, you’re not qualified to ask questions yet!"

Fang Heng gave a cold snort, then asked, "Who are you?"

The two insect attendants stiffened and quickly replied, "Camu, Cullen, we are insect attendants under the beetle king."

"Why are you here? Did you come to save Tantalus?"

The two hesitated.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes, violet lightning dancing in his palm.

"Isn’t it so? Don’t even think about deceiving me. If I find out you lied or hid anything..."

Camu’s heart skipped a beat. Carefully glancing at the power of God’s Punishment swirling in Fang Heng’s hand, he hurriedly said, "We came to search for the whereabouts of Lord Beetle King."

Fang Heng said coldly, "Continue, speak. We have time. You can start from the beginning."

"We are all insect attendants under Lord Beetle King. Our territory is very far from here. About three months ago, we received Lord Beetle King’s urgent summons to gather in the star domain. But when we arrived, Lord Beetle King’s aura could no longer be perceived."

"It was then we learned that Lord Beetle King’s body had been destroyed in the battle with the God Clan, and the primogenitor cocoon originally belonging to him was also lost in the surrounding star domains due to spatial turbulence."

"While searching for Lord Beetle King, we were also searching for the scattered primogenitor cocoons across the star domains."

"Not long ago, while exploring the galaxy, we sensed Lord Beetle King’s power, though very weak. Following that perception, we found our way here."

Fang Heng looked at Camu, his gaze seeming to pierce straight through him. He asked coldly, "So you came here to obtain Tantalus’s power, isn’t that it?"

"Tantalus has already lost the primogenitor cocoon. He is no longer our king."

At this point, Camu and Cullen no longer tried to hide it and said outright, "If Lord Tantalus still had the power to command the race, of course we would submit. But from what we sensed, his strength is no longer enough to control the entire Seed of Ouroboros clan."

Fang Heng’s lips curled with a trace of disdain.

Just as he suspected, this was the nature of the Seeds of Ouroboros.

They devoured each other, and only the last one remaining would be king.

"I heard Tantalus once occupied most of a star domain? Now that his power has declined, what about his other forces? Are they like you, searching for him as well?"

The two insect attendants exchanged a look and said, "After Tantalus lost his strength, the clan remained relatively stable. Besides searching for Tantalus, they are also seeking the scattered primogenitor cocoons in the star domains."

Fang Heng flipped his wrist, holding in his palm a cocoon left behind after the beetle king’s death.

"This is the primogenitor cocoon you’re looking for?"

The two looked at the cocoon with its etched patterns in Fang Heng’s palm, their expressions changing repeatedly. Their gaze toward Fang Heng transformed entirely.

The primogenitor cocoon was in his hands!

Could it be...

Had Tantalus already died at his hands!?

"Speak!"

"Yes... yes, that’s it..."

Fang Heng flipped his wrist, storing the cocoon back into his backpack.

From the intelligence given by the game hints, the primogenitor cocoon could not be directly absorbed or converted into Seed of Ouroboros experience points.

"You said the primogenitor cocoon could grant you power? Then why couldn’t I absorb it?"

"Gulp..."

Hearing Fang Heng’s words, Camu nervously swallowed hard.

The primogenitor cocoon.

D*mn it! Did he really want to devour the primogenitor cocoon?

He was insane!

Cullen lowered his head and explained, "The primogenitor cocoon is not something that can be directly devoured and absorbed. It can act within our bodies, helping us better absorb and fuse power."

Fang Heng frowned slightly. What did it mean, "act within the body"?

"You mean it’s like a tool?"

Camu and Cullen exchanged another look. "There’s a difference, but you could understand it that way. The primogenitor cocoon was originally an ancestral inheritance of the Seeds of Ouroboros for generations. It was once a complete whole, but after a certain impact, it broke apart, forming sixteen fragments."
