Chapter 2255 Bonus

Ovi didn’t know that, apart from Fang Heng’s naturally high mental strength, the key to achieving this lay in the utilization rate of mental strength in the magic array.

Fang Heng possessed a MAX level in high-tier alchemy, coupled with scholarly inheritance and exceptionally high alchemy talent, which terrifyingly boosted the operation of the magic array.

On the other hand, the tree spirit tribe’s efficiency in using natural energy in the magic array was less than forty percent.

With one factor increasing and the other decreasing, Fang Heng’s efficiency appeared exceptionally terrifying.

Instantly, the vessel of sacrifice’s absorption of dimensional energy surged!

It doubled!

Simultaneously, stimulated by the rapid operation of the magic array, the number of rock puppets around skyrocketed again!

The flesh shields formed by the Licker group firmly blocked the stone spirit puppets ahead!

At this moment, Fang Heng’s consciousness had completely immersed in the magic array.

With gradual usage of the magic array, his understanding of it deepened.

“So that’s how it is…”

The magic array was initially constructed by the tree spirit tribe, resonating with the fluctuations of natural energy. Thus, many aspects of it seemed redundant or imperfect when viewed through an alchemical lens.

Activating the magic array didn’t actually require limiting it to natural elements’ energy.

Other energies could also be used to activate it, rapidly absorbing residual dimensional energy from the world.

The prerequisite was to first carry out a series of modifications on the magic array.

A timely game hint popped up.

[Hint: Detected that the player possesses high-tier alchemy. After assessment, the player can currently optimize and modify the magic array. Current success rate of optimization and modification: 7%. Estimated efficiency improvement after modification: 677%-1230%.]

As for optimization…

Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered.

Indeed, from his current perspective, there was still a lot of room for optimization in the magic array.

…

Outside the Temple of Incantation, the battle had already reached a fever pitch.

Elder Vannes single-handedly faced three elder-level opponents, yet he still held his ground!

A vast amount of nature-infused leaves condensed into a tornado, swiftly sweeping forward!

The massive barrier of dried wood fiercely collided with the tornado.

“Boom! Boom boom!”

Continuous explosions rang out in the center of the battlefield, causing Vannes and the three elders to be pushed back by the blasts.

Catalyzed by the natural energy within the temple’s sacred tree sapling domain, Vannes’s injuries slowly began to heal.

The three elders retreated to the other side, watching Vannes from a distance.

Even the discerning could see that the strength of the sacred tree sapling was nearing its limit.

From the very beginning, Vannes could almost instantly recover under the influence of the sacred tree sapling, but now, it would take him some time to rejoin the fight.

The three major tribes had stealthily expanded the battlefield into the domain of the sacred tree sapling.

“Vannes, you can’t hold on much longer, can you?” Tippy had not entered the battlefield. She stood behind the crowd, urging, “Don’t engage in meaningless battles. It’s not good for our entire tree spirit tribe.”

“Tippy! Stop wasting your breath with him!”

Elder Klonor of the Wood tribe snapped, raising his hand once more to attack. Several giant wooden spikes were launched towards the domain of the sacred tree sapling, attempting to further weaken its influence!

Huh?

What!?

Suddenly, the Temple of Incantation once again burst forth with a brilliant green light.

The intensity of the light was several times stronger than before.

Under the shining light, Vannes instantly felt a powerful force rushing into his body!

Strength!

It had returned once again!

“Hahaha!”

Though unaware of what was happening, Vannes was exhilarated at this moment, laughing wildly as he launched another fierce assault!

Seeing the energy of the sacred tree sapling, which had been nearly depleted, suddenly rise significantly, the morale of the Wood tribe plummeted, and they retreated once again.

D*mn the Leaf tribe!

No wonder they were willing to endure!

It turned out they had backup dimensional strength, which could quickly replenish the energy of the sacred tree sapling in a short time.

With this, the strategy of ‘exhaustion’ suddenly became laughable.

“Tippy!”

Klonor turned to look at Tippy, the elder of the Soul tribe, and shouted, “Why aren’t you taking action? Things have come to this point. Do you want our mission to end in failure?”

The elder of the Root tribe also turned to Tippy, “Act now! Don’t waste everyone’s time, Tippy!”

Tippy shook her head, sighing inwardly as she looked once again at Vannes, who was charging forward with unstoppable momentum on the battlefield. “Vannes, things have come to this point, which is not what I wished for. My final plea, Leaf tribe, I hope you can prioritize the greater good and sit down to have a proper discussion.”

“Ha ha ha! Talk? What a joke!” Vannes, feeling he had gained control of the situation, responded loudly, “Why didn’t you talk nicely when you were attacking our tribe before? Now you want to talk? It’s too late!”

Tippy’s expression grew solemn, and she no longer spoke much. Slowly, she raised her hands forward in a gesture of sacrifice.

What’s that!?

Vannes felt a powerful ripple of energy, causing his heart to skip a beat as he looked at Tippy.

It was actually…

“The sacred tree branch!”

Seeing the yellowish branch Tippy had sacrificed, Vannes’s pupils constricted, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

“You brought the sacred tree branch!”

The sacred tree branch in Tippy’s hands emitted a dim yellow light!

“Crack!!!”

Under the influence of the sacred tree branch, the domain power surrounding the periphery of the Temple of Incantation emitted a series of cracking sounds like shattered glass, instantly crumbling away as if it were being destroyed!

Bang!!!

The domain power instantly shattered into tiny fragments.

Seeing this, Klonor shouted, “Now’s our chance! Charge together! Break through their blockade!”

…

[Hint: The player completes the mission-Return to the dimensional world. The player gains 25 points of friendship with Ovi’s team, 10 points of friendship with Farouk, 5 points of friendship with the Leaf tribe, 50,000 contribution points, and 50,000 reputation points. The player also gains 30,000 reputation points with the tree spirit tribe.]

“You’ve done well.”

Inside the Temple of Incantation, the honored Elder Farouk nodded approvingly.

Ovi successfully brought back the sacrificial jar, returning before the dimensional energy of the sacred tree sapling was depleted.

They obtained a considerable amount of dimensional energy this time, enough to support them for a while longer.

Fang Heng stood aside, his gaze still fixed on the magic array in front of Farouk, continuing to observe and trying to understand the magic array more clearly.

The magic array in the temple was several levels more difficult than the dimensional absorption magic array, and it couldn’t be used directly; it required specific rituals to activate.

If he were to try to figure it out on his own, it would likely take a long time, and there was even a chance of damaging the magic array and causing backlash to the operator.

Aside from stealing the magic array…

There was also the sacred tree sapling within Farouk.

If he could steal the sacred tree sapling and have Abe Akaya absorb it…

Fang Heng was even a bit impatient.
