Chapter 3416: Void Abomination
Chapter 3416: Void Abomination
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Fang Heng approached the outside of the void Black Fog and hovered in midair. Lowering his head, he looked down, and the God’s Eye in his right pupil spun rapidly.
Whoosh!
His gaze penetrated the Black Fog.
Only now did he truly see the full appearance of the Void Abomination.
Strictly speaking, it was not a "beast" in the traditional sense.
It was a massive arthropod monstrosity composed of enormous segmented limbs.
The Void Abomination’s body was covered in a layer of dark, heavy exoskeleton. Countless grotesque arthropod limbs extended from both sides of its torso, burrowing deep into the black earth, making it appear as though it had fused completely with the suspended, floating continent.
Around the periphery of the continent, seven enormous prismatic spikes pierced straight into the body of the Void Abomination, pinning it tightly to the ground. From the surface of the prisms, countless energy chains extended, layering over the monster’s body and binding it firmly.
The Void Abomination seemed to be in a hibernation state. Its body rose and fell with rhythmic breathing, and with each breath, dense void Black Fog seeped from within its body. The mist reacted with the Origin Power released from the massive prismatic spikes, triggering crackling micro spatial explosions.
"This fellow... is troublesome..."
Fang Heng maintained a safe distance away from the Black Fog as he observed the Void Abomination’s form, secretly on guard.
Putting aside defeating it, the outer layer of void Black Fog alone was enough to make him wary.
According to the Void Clan elder, Void Power was a fusion of Origin Power and evil thoughts. This force carried the effects of Origin Power and could dissolve most energy bodies.
Very difficult to deal with.
Since he was already here...
He would test sacred arts first and see if he could disperse it!
With a thought, Fang Heng activated the God’s Eye effect in his right pupil and switched into the sacred study form. He brought his hands together and condensed an imprint before him.
"God’s Punishment!"
"Boom!!!"
A purplish-red thunderbolt fell from the sky, striking fiercely toward the Void Abomination below.
"Chi, chi chi..."
The blast of thunder landed on the layer of Black Fog covering the creature’s exterior, producing a sizzling sound before being completely swallowed and dissolved.
The spell attack was entirely ineffective.
"Tch."
Fang Heng curled his lip.
Just as he had expected.
The Endless Domain was a specially created dimensional space. If this were the outside world, the move would have had some effect, but here it was completely useless.
Then he would change tactics!
With a thought, Fang Heng vanished from his position.
"Whoosh!"
In the next moment, he appeared above the Void Abomination’s back, just outside the Black Fog. Clenching his right hand, he threw a punch forward.
"Boom!"
His fist struck the air itself, producing a heavy sonic boom.
The compressed air burst forward as an air cannon, sweeping a large section of the Black Fog ahead.
The Black Fog that had gathered before him was instantly cleared.
There was hope!
Taking advantage of the cleared space, Fang Heng accelerated toward the Void Abomination. Midair, he flipped and condensed his full strength into a kick aimed at the creature’s back.
"Boom!"
A dull explosion rang out across the floating island.
Hm?!
Fang Heng felt a terrifying dissolving force spread from beneath his foot. He barely felt any rebound force from the strike.
The exoskeleton was a problem!
The impact had been absorbed and dissolved by the void power coating the creature’s outer shell.
Looking down, he saw that he had not left even a single mark on the exoskeleton.
The Void Abomination didn’t even wake from its slumber. It remained lying motionless on the ground, eyes closed, breathing steadily.
Fang Heng felt troubled.
Not only was its physical defense extremely strong, but the outer layer of void power dissolved most of his impact force.
Before he could try again, the void aura he had dispersed moments ago gathered once more and swept toward him.
"Whoosh!"
Fang Heng dared not be careless and quickly escaped before the Black Fog enveloped him.
High above, Elder Brutus nodded inwardly.
Fang Heng’s display of strength greatly satisfied him.
Being able to get this close was already exceptional.
Among the Void Clan, few could approach the Void Abomination as Fang Heng did.
Homan also fell silent.
He had no choice but to admit, Fang Heng indeed had some skill.
After the first round of probing, Fang Heng retreated from the Black Fog once more and hovered in midair, observing the Void Abomination below.
Magic attacks were completely ineffective.
The only thing left to try was spatial strength, but void power weakened its effectiveness as well.
As for physical attacks, the void power coating the exoskeleton possessed an extremely strong dissolving force.
If he hadn’t backed off immediately earlier, he might even have suffered backlash from the void power.
Headache...
Fang Heng studied the creature’s structure carefully, considering whether he could bypass the exoskeleton and target weak points where the limbs connected.
Wait?
Hold on!
A spark of insight flashed through his mind.
He recalled the fused arthropod limb left behind by the previous Ouroboros Beetle King.
Compared to the Void Abomination, it clearly had been severed from this creature.
"So the previous Beetle King had fought the Void Abomination... and even tried to parasitize this thing... interesting..."
Staring at the Void Abomination, Fang Heng muttered to himself. Suddenly, he understood something, excitement flickering in his eyes.
Right!
There was still that thing!
He took a high-concentration spatial crystal from his backpack.
Now he understood—the previous Beetle King had collected spatial crystals to deal with the Void Abomination!
Using a spatial crystal as a single-use explosive to unleash extreme spatial force in an instant, forcibly opening a breach in the exoskeleton.
A bit wasteful, but direct and convenient.
He would try it!
Fang Heng threw another punch forward.
"Bang!!"
The Black Fog around the Void Abomination was swept aside again, opening a gap.
He moved, closing in on its back. His right hand channeled mental strength into the spatial crystal, then he hurled it toward the creature.
"Pa!!"
The high-concentration spatial crystal struck the exoskeleton heavily, and spatial power erupted violently.
"Boom!!!!"
A berserk wave of spatial energy blasted outward in a visible shockwave.
The close-range explosion blew open a gap in the Black Fog and blasted a fist-sized hole in the thick exoskeleton, revealing the dark flesh beneath.
Now!
"Whoosh!"
Fang Heng’s eyes tightened as he darted toward the Void Abomination. His right hand shot forward.
Here it came!
"Whoosh!!"
The Ouroboros heart, parasitized on his right arm, suddenly extended dense tentacles, pouring out wildly along his arm and accurately drilling into the hole in the exoskeleton.
