Chapter 2987: Purification
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Fang Heng consciously controlled the intensity of his mental strength consumption. Each strike of the thunderbolt attack was not particularly strong nor fast, but it was enough to keep Proust constantly suppressed and unable to break free, gradually wearing him down.
It was clear that Proust’s self-healing ability had been significantly weakened.
It seemed the earlier attack from the Star Eye had been highly effective.
From a distance, Mu Qingxin watched with a frown. Fang Heng’s energy beam attack earlier had far exceeded her expectations, directly causing Proust to suffer another serious injury.
And now, switching again to "God’s Punishment"...
Mu Qingxin looked toward Fang Heng.
Fang Heng surely knew that attacks of this level could not pose a lethal threat to Proust.
Was he stalling for time?
The reason was...
Mu Qingxin suddenly felt her heart skip a beat. She looked up again toward the sky, which was still covered in dark clouds.
It was very likely that the Star Eye’s attack could be replicated a second time!
"Whoosh!"
She could wait no longer.
If this continued, Proust would lose!
Mu Qingxin decided to act.
She had cultivated the Seed of Ouroboros for tens of thousands of years.
She couldn’t bear to see Proust destroyed by Fang Heng.
"Whoosh!!"
Mu Qingxin dashed swiftly toward Fang Heng, intending to interrupt the battle. But suddenly, a dark figure appeared before her.
Huh? What?
"Boom!!!"
Mu Qingxin was forced backward by a heavy punch from the shadow. She looked up and was surprised by the figure she saw.
"Sura?! What are you doing here?"
Sura stood in front of Mu Qingxin, calm and steady. He gently shook his head and said, "That doesn’t matter. Mu Qingxin, I understand how you feel. But I promised Fang Heng that I wouldn’t let you interfere in their battle."
Mu Qingxin’s heart sank.
D*mn it!
Fang Heng had come fully prepared—even this step had been planned ahead of time?
Mu Qingxin said coldly, "What did he offer you?"
Sura uttered nothing, just stared at her.
"Whoosh!"
Mu Qingxin’s figure turned into a shadow, trying to break through from the right.
Sura, like a ghost, intercepted her again, blocking her path.
"Move!"
Mu Qingxin shouted and threw a punch at Sura.
"Boom!!"
Sura’s expression turned cold. Without wasting words, he counterattacked directly.
In mid-air, the two became entangled in a series of high-speed collisions.
Their power levels were not far apart. Mu Qingxin knew she couldn’t break through Sura’s blockade in a short time.
Moreover, Sura had always believed in pure physical evolution, relying solely on brute strength, with no integration of other types of power.
"Bang!!"
After several minutes of clashing, both were forced back by a direct blow.
Mu Qingxin grew increasingly anxious.
But the more anxious she became, the less able she was to escape.
No!
She looked up again. Violent spatial fluctuations appeared in the sky, and the dark clouds were pushed aside once more by spatial transition, revealing a metallic cannon barrel.
The alloy cannon locked firmly onto Proust below.
Mu Qingxin, trapped by Sura, couldn’t break free. She could only shout, "Proust! Get out of the way!"
"I know!"
Proust was still suppressed by God’s Punishment skill, unable to move. His bloodshot eyes locked onto Fang Heng.
"Fang Heng! Are you insane?!"
Proust had already been seriously injured once by the Star Eye’s beam and had no desire to go through it again. He stared at Fang Heng and shouted, "Let me go!"
Fang Heng stared back at Proust with a determined, almost suicidal look. The corners of his mouth curled in mockery, "What’s wrong? Are you afraid of death, Proust?"
Fear finally showed in Proust’s eyes as he shouted, "You lunatic!"
"Boom!!!"
The next moment, a purple annihilation beam descended from the sky, engulfing both of them!
"Boom!!"
[Hint: The player is affected by the annihilation beam...]

[Hint: The player’s Seed of Ouroboros loses 2,663 experience points...]
Game notifications kept appearing in Fang Heng’s vision.
The original power of the Seed of Ouroboros was being steadily weakened by the Star Eye’s beam.
Fang Heng’s pupils contracted.
He understood this was an annihilation beam specifically developed by the spawns to counter the Seed of Ouroboros. He hadn’t expected it to be this powerful, actually damaging the original power.
But...
It was still within bearable limits!
Fang Heng stared intently at the now-disfigured Proust, whose body was being ravaged under the annihilation beam.
He would outlast him!
In every aspect, he held the advantage over Proust!
From a distance, the others watched Fang Heng recklessly choosing to take the damage alongside Proust like a madman. Their expressions changed, eyes fixed on the falling purple beam.
The beam lasted for a full five minutes!
When the light faded, everyone saw the figures of Fang Heng and Proust.
After enduring two consecutive Star Eye attacks, Proust’s origin power was severely damaged. His self-healing was heavily suppressed, and his HP had dropped to just one-tenth.
On the outside, beneath his scorched skin, writhing red worms were dying and falling off his body.
"Proust!"
Hm?
Proust, his consciousness already fading, looked up at the voice.
"God’s Punishment!"
"Boom!!!"
Scarlet lightning rained down from the sky again, relentlessly striking Proust’s broken body.
"Goodbye!"
The God’s Punishment skill was pushed to its limit, draining Proust’s last bit of HP!
Boom!!
Holy fire ignited on Proust’s body in an instant.
The tiny worm bodies that made up Proust screamed as they burned, until they were destroyed.
[Hint: The player has successfully killed Proust...]
[Hint: Settlement in progress. The player has gained 100% kill contribution. The player receives 500,000 King of Gods’ points.]
[Hint: Your actions have been sensed by some Seeds of Ouroboros.]
Fang Heng coldly watched as Proust was reduced to ashes by the holy fire.
Unlike previously shattered Seeds of Ouroboros, Proust had been in a complete form.
Whoosh!
Fang Heng raised his hand. From the corpse shrouded in holy fire flew a dark-gold cocoon.
"Chi!!"
A rift opened in his palm, and the dark-gold cocoon was swallowed by the rift.
[Hint: The player has obtained the optional modification-Red Worm Split Form. The player’s Seed of Ouroboros has reached Level 21. The player has gained 1 additional modification option.]
Modification option: Red Worm Split Form.
Skill description: Alters the structure of the creature so that muscles are composed of finer red worm bodies. Grants +10% strength and +10% physique. When taking direct physical damage, red worm split mode can be activated to reduce incoming damage, absorbing up to 3x the attack damage in a single instance (this causes a brief stiffness, preventing immediate counterattack).
Skill description: When suffering limb loss or death, broken body parts can generate red worm bodies for secondary attacks (passive effect).
Additional description: This is a special skill requiring 2 modification slots. It cannot function alongside some other modifications.
