Chapter 3560 The Source of Death

Using the penetrating vision effect of the Eye of God, Fang Heng quickly entered the entrance to the cave passage below the mountain.

The cave entrance is located at the foot of the mountain.

There is also a sacred barrier on the outer layer.

Fang Heng had just arrived not far from the entrance when he saw several members of the God Clan leaving from the entrance and gathering towards the swirling vortex of undead high in the sky.

It seems they were drawn to the vortex of the undead.

Fang Heng flashed to the outside of the passage and placed his hand on the barrier at the entrance.

As the primordial power was unleashed, the barrier was rapidly dissolved, revealing a breach.

Become!

Fang Heng slipped into the mountain passage and quickly walked forward along it.

The entire cave passage was carved out very large, and the rock walls were covered by a thick layer of sacred defensive barrier.

Soon, through the passage, a large cave appeared ahead, with two members of the divine race guarding it.

The guards of the God Clan were somewhat uneasy.

An anomaly just occurred in the undead vortex outside, and the captain led a group to provide support, leaving only the two of them to guard it.

Could the Netherworld Vortex be causing some trouble?

One of the gods was thinking when he suddenly frowned and looked toward the cave entrance.

"who!"

Seeing that the newcomer was also a member of the divine race, the guards breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fang Heng's face was unfamiliar.

I've never seen this before.

"you are?"

"Something's wrong with the Death Vortex. The captain sent me over to check it out."

Fang Heng walked forward hurriedly, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the two members of the divine race, then looking at the four large magic arrays set up on the ground behind the guards, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The four giant magic circles consist of three smaller ones and one larger one. The smaller magic circle is over fifty meters in diameter and is arranged in an equilateral triangle. The largest magic circle is over one hundred meters in diameter and is located in the center of the triangle.

The magic circle is operating continuously.

From within the magic circle, countless distorted souls were rising continuously, slowly drifting into the air and converging into a torrent of souls like smoke and mist, which was then absorbed by the base of the stone pillars with incantations engraved on the ceiling of the cave.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.

Now he finally knows where those spirits on the mountain came from.

Seeing the two guards casting suspicious glances at him, Fang Heng preemptively asked, "Was the magic circle unaffected?"

The guardian of the divine race shook his head and said, "There are no problems for now."

"Hmm, I need to check to make sure it's safe."

As Fang Heng walked forward, he suddenly heard a soft ticking sound in his ear.

"Tick!"

Um! ?

Fang Heng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked up at the ceiling on the right side of the rock wall.

On the right side, above where the two members of the divine race stood guard, a huge cylindrical base was visible on the rock ceiling, in addition to the intricate magic runes.

A tiny bit of necromantic energy gathered at the center of the magic circle at the bottom of the cylinder, until it condensed into a drop of water that slowly dripped downwards.

And on the floor of the cave below, there happens to be a hole about the size of a bowl at the location where the dripping water fell.

It is the source of death!

The source of death happened to drip into the cave entrance.

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Fang Heng, and he instantly thought of the stone pillars on the mountain that connected to the vortex of death, and he also understood the function of the stone pillars.

In addition to transporting the dead, it can also transform the power of death!

The power of death circulates continuously through the vortex disc of the dead. The largest sealing pillar absorbs some of the power, re-injecting the power of the source of the dead into the underworld to maintain its operation. The excess is collected by the densely packed pillars scattered across the mountains, eventually concentrating at one point to form the power of the source of death.

It seems that the God race has collected all the excess power of the source of death.

What are they going to do?

Is this their real purpose in sealing the realm of the dead?

Once one mystery is solved, several more immediately begin to linger in one's mind.

Fang Heng looked toward the hole in the ground.

The hole in the ground didn't look like it was carved by man; it was only the size of a bowl, and it corresponded exactly to the direction from which the source of death was dripping. Moreover, there were clearly no barriers or magic circles around it, but once you sensed someone approaching, you would be swallowed up.

No wonder I didn't notice it before.

Fang Heng's breathing became somewhat rapid. He turned and walked towards the source of death, asking, "Where is the source of death? Is there anything unusual?"

“I already said, everything is fine here, there’s nothing unusual.” One of the divine guards, growing impatient, stared at Fang Heng and asked, “What’s the situation outside?”

"The Netherworld vortex has generated violent fluctuations. The exact cause is still unclear, but it's suspected that there might be a problem with the death-source magic circle here. They sent me to check it out..."

"No! This is impossible!"

Another guard from the divine race stated decisively, "We've been taking turns guarding this place. No outsiders have ever approached. There can't be any problems. Also, who is your captain? Who sent you here?"

"Shh, be quiet."

Fang Heng interrupted the God Clan, his expression solemn. He walked past the two of them and carefully approached the edge of the cave entrance where the source of death was dripping, looking towards the entrance.

I can't see it!

Fang Heng's right eye spun rapidly.

Still can't see clearly!

The cave entrance was extremely eerie, its interior pitch black, making it impossible to see anything clearly, and even perception was directly swallowed up by the cave entrance. The only thing that could be vaguely seen was the alchemical magic circle runes on the outermost layer of the cave entrance.

Fang Heng simply squatted down, raised his hand, and opened his palm towards the source of death below the cave entrance.

"Sizzle! Sizzle sizzle!!!"

The power of the source of death was affected and surged rapidly along him!

coming!

Fang Heng's pupils contracted.

Although he couldn't sense it, he successfully attracted the power of the source of death!

In an instant, a surge of death-source power rushed into his body!

However, this is completely different from when I absorbed the power of hell before. Back then, my body possessed the Eye of Hell, which allowed me to absorb the power of the source of hell.

However, since the power of the source of death has nowhere to be stored, it can only be forcibly stored within the body.

The energy of the source of death that was forcibly stored in his physical body could not be retained for long, and he was currently in a state of divine learning.

Suddenly, black cracks appeared on Fang Heng's body.

The two guards of the God Clan had been observing Fang Heng. When they saw black patterns appearing on Fang Heng's body and even exuding an aura of death, their expressions changed slightly.

This kid's suspicious!

"Hey! What are you doing!"

Seeing that Fang Heng still ignored him, the guard walked towards him and pressed his hand on Fang Heng's shoulder, "I'll ask you one more time, who sent you here?"

Fang Heng, having absorbed the power of death to its limit, said, "It is Elder Ulysses."

The two guards were stunned again. They exchanged a glance, and one of them said decisively, "No! Impossible!"

call out!

The next instant, Fang Heng suddenly launched an attack, abruptly turning around. His divine power rapidly dissipated, replaced by a terrifying necromantic force. He reached out and grabbed at the guardian of the divine race! (End of Chapter)
