Chapter 2776: The Whole Story
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“According to what he said, it had been several hundred years ago. At that time, he had accidentally come across it in a certain world, but the flesh cocoon had already been frozen. He judged that the cocoon was dead and didn’t pay much attention to it.
“Later, in order to investigate more clues related to the flesh cocoon, we tried to go back and search for it.”
Jing Ge’er’s tone grew serious.
“This was the beginning of the whole matter.”
Bai Mu asked, “And then? What happened next?”
“We found the frozen flesh cocoon, and when we took it out from the ice, we discovered that it wasn’t dead. It had only entered a state of hibernation. We spent a lot of effort trying to revive it.”
...
“Then, we encountered trouble.”
At this point, Jing Ge’er signaled to Zhuang Yufei, who stepped forward, rolled up her sleeve, and revealed her white arm.
Fang Heng’s gaze shifted to Zhuang Yufei’s arm.
“Gu ji ji…”
What was that?
Fang Heng’s heart stirred.
He could visibly see something wriggling beneath Zhuang Yufei’s skin.
“She claims to be Su Ziyue, a cultivator from Ouroboros.”
Zhuang Yufei glanced around the group, paused, and continued, “Additionally, her strength is extraordinary. She was able to handle us all without falling behind and even suddenly erupted, using a special method to parasitize our bodies and control us to do her bidding.”
Fang Heng’s pupils contracted sharply, and his thoughts began racing.
Ouroboros!
Cultivator!
He had encountered someone who claimed to be a cultivator, Mu Qingxin, and her cultivation of Proust in the Nether River of the death realm.
Indeed, the demonic seeds, Xia Xi, and himself were intricately linked.
Bai Mu and the others also showed a slight change in their expressions.
The strength of the demonic seeds was immense, and at the very least, they were all aware of Jing Ge’er’s strength.
Yet, Su Ziyue could deal with so many demonic seeds, including Jing Ge’er?
Wu Yan leaned in a bit, observing Zhuang Yufei’s arm.
From just looking at it, it was difficult to detect any abnormalities.
Bai Mu asked, “Is it that you couldn’t break free with your power?”
“It’s a very special parasitic ability, forming a symbiotic state with our bodies. With my current strength, I can only make the creature inside me temporarily hibernate. I can’t eliminate it.”
Bai Mu’s expression grew solemn.
Who was this Su Ziyue who suddenly appeared? Such powerful strength?
How could she control all the demonic seeds with just her power?
Wu Yan pondered momentarily before asking, “So, was it Su Ziyue who brought you all to the Holy Realm?”
“You’re right.” Jing Ge’er nodded. “The one who truly wanted to take action against the Holy Realm was Su Ziyue. She forced us to enter the Holy Realm, ordering us to set up the Hell Gate teleportation portal here and destroy it beneath the Holy Realm’s lower realm.”
“According to the plan, once the Hell Gate opened, we would guide the monsters summoned from hell to cooperate with Su Ziyue’s actions, destroying the places of faith and the sub-god pillars within the Star Temple that were established by the Holy Court in the lower world of the Holy Realm.”
Fang Heng asked, “What about Su Ziyue? What does she want to do?”
“I’m not sure.” Jing Ge’er shook his head. “From her actions and deployment, we suspect she might want to rescue someone who’s imprisoned by the Holy Realm.”
The group fell silent for a moment.
Abulati adjusted his thoughts, feeling that he understood, and after clearing his ears, said, “So, you brought us from outside the Holy Realm to ask for help, right?”
“Hmph!”
Jing Ge’er snorted heavily, “Don’t think so poorly of us. We’re not here to beg, but to warn you. We don’t want you to repeat our mistakes. We’re just cautioning you about the Demon Core and that Su Ziyue. The Hell Gate will soon open, and by then, we’ll be thorns in the side of the Holy Realm. You can take advantage of the chaos to rescue more demonic seeds.”
Abulati couldn’t help but chuckle in amusement.
They came to ask for help but were pretending it was a warning.
Well, looks like they’ve messed up, huh?
Not only did they fail to deal with “Jealousy,” but now they were entangled with Su Ziyue and dragged into trouble with the Holy Realm.
Fang Heng observed Zhuang Yufei’s arm and suddenly asked, “How did Su Ziyue threaten you?”
“We believe it’s a clone of Su Ziyue that fused symbiotically within our bodies. We haven’t found a way to remove it for now.”
“Once we’re triggered or if Su Ziyue reaches out to us, the clone will awaken automatically.”
“Can the clone and the main body share consciousness?”
“Yes.”
Wu Yan looked at the bulging, wriggling thing beneath Zhuang Yufei’s skin with interest, his eyes gleaming as he uttered, “Interesting.”
As they were speaking, Zhuang Yufei’s expression shifted slightly, and she said, “She’s here.”
Jing Ge’er ordered, “Back away.”
The group quickly retreated.
In the next moment, they watched as Zhuang Yufei’s arm muscles began to writhe and twist, slowly gathering to form a vaguely visible human face.
“Jing Ge’er, how is the progress on the Hell Gate?”
Jing Ge’er walked up to the arm and said, “The Hell Gate is under construction. You should know the situation in the Holy Realm, it’s not suitable for building the Hell Gate here.”
“Hurry, you don’t have much time left.”
As the eye on the arm slowly closed, everything returned to its original state.
What an eerie ability.
With Zhuang Yufei’s arm restored, the group gathered again, carefully observing.
“How about I try?”
In the silence, everyone looked at Fang Heng, who had spoken.
Zhuang Yufei asked in surprise, “Do you have a way?”
“Not sure yet, but it’s a coincidence, I just learned some powerful moves in the Holy Realm. They might help. But fair warning, this move is quite dangerous.”
“Alright! Try it!”
Zhuang Yufei volunteered eagerly.
She had nothing left to lose. What was a little danger?
Moreover, the demonic seed’s constitution was different from ordinary humans. Their recovery speed was hundreds of times faster than that of normal people—just a breath would bring them back.
“Alright!”
Fang Heng said no more. Without preparing anything, he extended his hand toward Zhuang Yufei.
Whoosh!
Zhuang Yufei’s pupils contracted sharply, and she immediately felt an invisible force seize control of her body. Almost instinctively, she tried to resist.
But it was utterly futile!
Under the influence of the ‘God’s Punishment’ skill, Zhuang Yufei’s body froze, unable to move an inch.
“Boom!!!”
In the next instant, blinding holy light shone brightly!
The intense holy light cascaded down, filling the area with an overwhelming divine aura.
How powerful!
Jing Ge’er and the other demonic seeds turned their gazes toward Fang Heng in astonishment.

This guy!
How did his power progress so quickly?
Zhuang Yufei, too, was stunned.
She had instinctively put all her strength into resisting, but the binding force on her body didn’t loosen even a little!
The holy light continued to burn intensely, and under the influence of God’s Punishment, her body was lifted into the air. She was slowly drawn toward Fang Heng, her forehead pressing against his outstretched right hand.
The holy light never ceased to rain down, bathing Zhuang Yufei in its brilliance, until her body began to catch fire with holy flames.
