Chapter 2185 Retreat
The metal armor pieces that were originally surrounding the electronic spirit's round ball were thrown outward by the explosion, then embedded firmly into the surrounding walls.
"Hiss, hiss..."
As the black fog quickly dissipated, everyone looked up to see a spherical light appearing in the center.
Success?
Fang Heng remained vigilant as he watched the hovering light ball.
The electronic spirit.
A deeply solemn expression appeared on Raven's face.
He sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from the light ball.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
After a burst of electrical noise in the earpiece, Ji Haiting's voice quickly came through.
"Fang Heng? Can you hear me? Fang Heng!"
"Yeah, I can hear you."
Fang Heng watched the light sphere in front of him warily. "So, this thing is the physical form of the electronic spirit?"
"Fang Heng, our communication with the sp.a.w.ns has completely stopped just now, and the spiritual domain blockade network has been affected. Various operational values have increased significantly. I'll help cover up the data anomalies, but the Federation is likely to notice soon, so we need to be cautious..."
As he was speaking, streams of electricity appeared around the electronic spirit, and the entire light sphere rapidly expanded!
Communication with Ji Haiting was disrupted again due to interference!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss... Hiss!!!"
The electronic spirit absorbed a large amount of strength, and blue light filled the entire hall.
It seemed that the entire spiritual domain blockade network was being heavily drained by the electronic spirit.
Fang Heng sensed the energy contained within the electronic spirit was rising at a terrifying speed!
"Vannes! Attack! Destroy it!"
Raven realized the situation was dire and took action preemptively!
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
In the next moment, a dense barrage of energy arrows shot out from the hands of the tree spirit race, aimed at the light sphere!
Sensing the attack, the electronic spirit's expanding and contracting body suddenly froze in place.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
In mid-air, numerous blue light spots appeared densely.
The light spots quickly absorbed the energy arrows in the air.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"
The arrows formed by natural energy burst one by one as they were absorbed by the light spots.
All attacks were completely ineffective without exception!
Immediately after, a visible blue energy barrier condensed in front of the electronic spirit.
The barrier, like a solid wall, quickly pressed towards the group!
What was this?
Vannes sensed the energy fluctuations emanating from the barrier and shouted, "Shatter it!"
Another round of dense energy arrows from the tree spirit race shot toward the blue barrier.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
The dense energy arrows bombarded the barrier, shattering it instantly upon contact!
Fang Heng wielded the great holy sword and swiftly moved towards the barrier.
"Crack!"
The great sword heavily descended upon the blue light screen.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The advancement of the light screen was momentarily slowed, and at the same time, a dense crack appeared where the great holy sword struck.
"Keep going!"
Fang Heng shouted, swinging the great sword with all his might once again, continuously hacking forward!
Following that, a large number of energy arrows from the tree spirit race flew out and continuously bombarded the light screen ahead.
"Boom!!!"
After dozens of continuous attacks, the light screen finally couldn't withstand the bombardment and shattered.
Looking at the blue light spots left behind by the shattered light screen, Fang Heng's heart stirred.
Huh?
What's that?
He sensed a strange ripple of power from the light spots.
And those light spots seemed to be drawn to him, slowly floating towards him.
Whoos.h.!.+
Fang Heng swung his great sword once again, attempting to shatter the light spots floating towards him.
"What?"
A look of astonishment flashed in Fang Heng's eyes.
The great sword actually pa.s.sed through the light spots swiftly.
Even in that moment of pa.s.sing through, Fang Heng felt a fraction of his own strength being drawn away.
Not good!
There was definitely something wrong with these light spots!
Realizing the danger, Fang Heng immediately activated his secondary s.p.a.ce projection skill, his form slowly dissolving into s.p.a.ce as he swiftly retreated.
Meanwhile, behind him, just as they watched the light screen finally being shattered, Vannes, who hadn't yet let out a sigh of relief, suddenly sensed something unusual.
He saw the scattered blue dots left behind by the shattered light screen swiftly gathering towards them!
That thing was definitely off!
Vannes keenly sensed that something was amiss!
"Shatter them!"
A mult.i.tude of densely packed energy arrows shot towards the light spots.
However, it was ineffective!
The arrows pierced through the light spots one after another.
The pale blue light spots remained unaffected, instead becoming even brighter.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The light spots suddenly accelerated, closing in on the tree spirit race!
The tree spirits' faces immediately showed astonishment.
This power!
As the light spots drew near, the tree spirit race felt their strength uncontrollably pulled away from their bodies by the light spots.
Vannes watched helplessly as numerous light spots floated towards him, a hint of fear evident in his pupils.
His strength was slowly being drained from his body.
He was powerless!
Only when facing the sacred tree did he experience a similar feeling of complete suppression.
The power of the electronic spirit could easily rival that of the sacred tree!
"Retreat!"
At this critical moment, Raven suddenly shouted and pushed his own strength to the limit!
A dazzling light blue glow burst from Raven's palm!
The Seed of the Azure Lotus.
A greenish seed in Raven's hand emitted waves of light, forming an open barrier that s.h.i.+elded the clan members behind him.
Under the glow, the wounds on the tree spirits' bodies healed rapidly.
The floating blue light spots in the hall were also drawn towards Raven's Azure Lotus, one by one.
However, none of the light spots managed to breach the barrier.
In just a few moments, the blue light spots surrounding the Azure Lotus were enveloped in a layer of blue light.
Raven's expression became extremely serious.
The strength within him was rapidly dissipating!
Or rather, it was being absorbed by the Seed of the Azure Lotus!
The Seed of the Azure Lotus was the holy artifact of the Leaf tribe, but using it would consume the vitality of the user.
Raven was deeply horrified.
The blue light spots were even able to absorb the strength released by the Azure Lotus.
This accelerated the depletion of his vitality!
Seeing Raven blocking the attacks of the blue light spots, Fang Heng stepped out of his secondary s.p.a.ce projection and stood behind Raven, closely watching the light spots in front of him with a hint of concern in his eyes.
This was a difficult situation!
The tree spirit race had already played all their cards, but they hadn't even managed to touch the main body of the electronic spirit, let alone cause any damage.
"Great Elder!"
The few remaining members of the tree spirit race, catching their breath, immediately wanted to step forward to help.
"Don't come any closer!"
Raven, enduring the rapid depletion of his vitality to sustain the operation of the Seed of the Azure Lotus, shouted, "I command you to evacuate from here immediately!"
Vannes knew that Raven was using his vitality to maintain the operation of the Seed of the Azure Lotus. He clenched his fists tightly, a hint of reluctance flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes.
"Great Elder!"
"At this point, we don't stand a chance against the electronic spirit. Go back and tell Senzo to persuade the various tribes to use the remnants of the sacred tree. This is our last chance."
