Since Fang Heng disappeared, although Hain was in the Holy Realm, he had been trying all kinds of thods to search for Fang Heng’s whereabouts.
As soon as he learned that Fang Heng had appeared in the Eternal Holy City, he rushed over without even having ti to inform the Great Sages of the Holy Realm, leaving behind a note in haste.
Finally, he found Fang Heng in Hell.
"Greetings, Great Sage."
"Hain, long ti no see. You’ve worked hard during this ti." Fang Heng nodded with a smile and gestured. "This ti, you’ll co with ."
"Understood!"
Hain suppressed the excitent in his heart. His expression was serious as he said in a deep voice, "The God’s Punishnt Knight Legion swears to follow the Great Sage to the death."
"Most of the people are here. Let’s begin."
Fang Heng stood at the front of the team and raised the great holy sword in his hand high, "For our fallen comrades, for the eternal peace of the world, follow and cleanse Hell with blood!"
"Cleanse Hell with blood!"
Thousands of Holy Court soldiers shouted the slogan in unison after Fang Heng.
Holy light condensed and suddenly blossod, the released holy ripple quickly purifying the surrounding hellish environnt.
"March!"
The knight legions of the Holy Court began stepping forward, slowly clearing their way deeper into Hell.
anwhile, in the rear of the group, the priest team used Holy Purification spells to cleanse large areas of the hellish terrain with holy power.
Take it slow.
This high-profile operation of "studying" Hell was a deliberate plan by Fang Heng.
Marching in so openly, they wouldn’t even need to reach the twenty-ninth layer before the Jealousy demonic seed would detect them and personally co to stop their continued advance.
At that ti...
Fang Heng squinted his eyes.
He wanted to see how much strength there really was between him and the Jealousy demonic seed.
...
The Holy Court team had a large number of people, and their strength was considerable.
But even so, after reaching the sixteenth layer of Hell, the team began to slow down due to suppression by the domain.
In front, waves of hell creatures roared and surged toward the Holy Court team from the grotto.
The Glory Knight Legion guarding the front line, under the blessings from the priest teams, fought bravely, blocking the hell creatures. Behind them, the priests were both purifying the environnt and casting healing spells to support the front line.
The team’s advance had obviously slowed.
It looked like the sixteenth layer was the limit for the Holy Court.
Fang Heng pondered as he raised the God-given Scepter high.
"Divine Blessing!"
"Buzz...!"
Golden light blossod from the God-given Scepter, and massive positive holy blessings rained down on the Holy Court knight legions ahead.
Imdiately, the knights were covered in a layer of dark golden holy light.
With Fang Heng’s powerful buffs, the knights suddenly felt a surge of strength from within.
Holy-type auxiliary skills were largely influenced by skill level, sacred study level, talents, and spirit attribute. Under Fang Heng’s high ntal strength and sacred study enhancents, the effects were terrifying!
Thunder of Judgnt, along with various defensive blessings, will blessings, life recovery, Divine Blessing, and Honor Blessing—an entire series of positive effects—were poured onto the combat team.
The Holy Court team’s strength surged instantly!
The heavily enhanced knight legion at the front held the line firmly against wave after wave of hell creatures. From above, purple bolts of Judgnt thunder continuously crashed down.
The situation was instantly reversed!
The morale of the Holy Court team soared.
Hain and his team did not join the frontlines but stayed firmly by Fang Heng’s side. Seeing this, a spark of excitent lit up in his eyes.
Since the death of Great Sage Klo Issos, when had the Holy Court ever been this proud and glorious?
He had never expected Fang Bai to be so daring—to launch an assault on Hell so soon after becoming the inheritor of the Great Sage title.
Fang Heng glanced at the battlefield and gave Hain a small nod, signaling the team to continue advancing.
Not enough.
This was only the sixteenth layer.
If he wanted to attract the attention of the Jealousy demonic seed, they had to at least reach the twentieth layer.
As he was contemplating the coming battle with Jealousy, suddenly a system notification appeared on his retina.
[Hint: The player has triggered mission-Distant Holy War.]
Mission Na: Distant Holy War.
Mission description: In the past, one of the Twelve Sages of the Holy Court sacrificed themselves during the mission to seal the entrance to Hell. Hell left a permanent wound on the Holy Court. Now, it is ti to seek justice from Hell.
Mission requirents: Cleanse Hell, completion rate must reach at least 60%. (During the cleansing process, as completion rate increases, the player will gain Holy Court recognition and gradually condense the Will of the Twelve Sages. If the mission fails, condensation of the Will fails. If will condensation fails, the player will suffer backlash.)
Mission reward: Elentary condensation of will.
Hmm?
Fang Heng was intrigued by the notification.
The Twelve Sages.
So this was the advancent from the Great Sage?
Fang Heng had initially thought the two were the sa.
Now it seed the Twelve Sages were not just a title, but an advanced form of the Great Sage?
But what was this new "Will Condensation" about?
It looked like a kind of reputation-based system?
A bit troubleso. If the mission failed, there would be penalties, which might interfere with his plan to kill the Jealousy demonic seed. That would be a problem.
"Great Sage?"
Seeing Fang Heng deep in thought with a solemn expression, Hain couldn’t help but ask, "Have we encountered a problem?"
"No."
Just as the words left his mouth, another notification appeared on Fang Heng’s retina.
[Hint: The player has partially cleansed Hell. player’s Holy Court reputation has increased. Current Holy Will Condensation: 0.7%.]
Fang Heng glanced at the notification and shook his head. "No need to worry. We proceed."
"Understood."
As the group continued deeper into Hell, Fang Heng’s mission completion rate gradually increased, and the Will Condensation percentage also rose steadily.
Due to the Holy Court’s massive numbers, their advance was slow. Eventually, they reached the nineteenth layer.
At the rear, several Holy Paladins rushed over and whispered to Fang Heng, "Great Sage, we received word from the Holy Realm—Great Sage Dean is leading a team this way. He suggests we slow down and wait to regroup before making our next move."
Oh?
A trace of surprise flickered in Fang Heng’s eyes. He looked ahead in thought.
Indeed.
After stepping into the twentieth layer, they would enter the detection range of the magical pet Echidna. At that point, the Jealousy demonic seed would likely beco aware of the invasion.
He hadn’t expected the Holy Court to send another Great Sage.
That was good.
When it ca ti to fight Jealousy, having another Great Sage present would definitely boost their chances.
"Very well. We’ll slow down. Send word—after we finish clearing the entrance to the twentieth layer, we’ll rest on the spot for now."
"Understood."
