Chapter 581 Chapter 581 – Deep Inside
Chen Heng walked straight to the finish line, bearing the majesty of the demigod artifact. In front of him, the giant golden sword appeared. At this moment, one could vaguely see the golden light flickering on it, and there were some bloodstains left, emitting an eternal aura.
On the greatsword, a mighty majesty spread out, but it did not have much effect on Chen Heng at the moment. It could not make him retreat like Orson and the others.
This was the difference in essence. In terms of essence, Chen Heng’s body contained divinity and had long condensed a Flesh of Law. In theory, it was equivalent to the status of a Divine Son. Even if it was inferior to those true gods, it was definitely far better than mortals.
The aura on the demigod artifact in front of him might repel others, but it would definitely not repel Chen Heng. However, this was only to give Chen Heng the right to get close. As for getting the recognition of this greatsword, that was another matter.
However, Chen Heng’s heart didn’t waver at all. He directly stretched out his hand and grabbed the greatsword in front of him.
In an instant, the golden greatsword began to flash. The patterns on it seemed to come to life and began to take on various forms. A vast aura began to erupt and appear at this moment.
That vast divine power’s majesty caused the expressions of the distant Orson and Orith to change drastically. Orson subconsciously activated the Eye of Nature in his hands and protected the two of them within.
‘The demigod artifact had truly awakened!’
This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind. Following that, a vast and mighty will came charging over.
This was the will that remained on this greatsword. It belonged to the previous owner of this greatsword. Even though it had died many years ago, it had never been obliterated. It was terrifying
In an instant, Chen Heng’s body paused. His eyes were filled with confusion as if he had been shocked. However, this situation only appeared for a moment before it disappeared without a trace.
When Chen Heng recovered from the strong will, his expression returned to calm again. Then, he exerted force on his hand. A golden light appeared and shone in all directions.
Under the gaze of Orson and Orith, the greatsword was pulled out by Chen Heng and held in his hand.
The greatsword, which had been as terrifying as a great weapon, finally returned to calmness. The aura on it was completely restrained so that the divine majesty that had filled the surroundings gradually dissipated, and it could no longer be felt.
Only then did Orson and Orith calm down. The Eye of Nature, which had been in a state of constant activation and could erupt at any time, had also quieted down, returning to its previous state.
They looked at the golden greatsword in Chen Heng’s hand, and their eyes revealed envy. This wasn’t anything else. It was a very intact demigod artifact. Even though it looked somewhat damaged and not too complete, its essence still existed, and it could erupt with terrifying power. This could be seen from its previous might. Just this greatsword alone was enough to rival a legendary existence. And in the hands of an expert like Chen Heng, who was also comparable to a Legend, the power it could unleash was even more powerful and could be called terrifying
The two of them couldn’t help but reveal envious looks, but they had nothing to say. They had also seen the scene just now.
The huge sword had the spiritual imprint of its previous owner. If they couldn’t get its recognition, they couldn’t use the huge sword. There was absolutely no way they could get its recognition with their situation. Even if they were a little unwilling, there was nothing they could do.
But soon, they perked up again, and a smile appeared on their faces. It was good for them that Chen Heng had finally obtained the demigod artifact.
After all, they and the church behind them had long been tied to the Hatim Kingdom. Under such circumstances, the more powerful Chen Heng was as the King of Hatim, the more promising their prospects would be.
It was also good news that Chen Heng had subdued the demigod artifact.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on their faces again. Then, they looked at Chen Heng, who walked toward them and said again, “Congratulations, Your Majesty.”
“Let’s continue forward.”
Facing their congratulations, Chen Heng didn’t say much. He just nodded and said. Then, he took the lead and continued to walk forward. Behind him, Orson and Orith quickly followed
Walking on this long path, Chen Heng felt the information of the greatsword in his hand. Ever since he pulled out the greatsword, the power within the greatsword had been continuously flowing into his body, exchanging with the divine power in his body.
This was a necessary process. In exchanging divine power, this demigod artifact gradually became Chen Heng’s brand, becoming his
thing.
Fragments of memories surged out from the huge sword and transmitted into Chen Heng’s mind. Those were scenes that the huge sword had experienced in the past.
Chen Heng vaguely saw a knight wearing cyan armor and riding a huge dragon in those fragments of memories. The knight’s body was covered in cyan armor, and his true appearance couldn’t be seen clearly. However, the person beneath his feet was a huge black dragon. The black dragon’s aura was powerful, and its body was hundreds of meters tall. The aura on its body was even more terrifying, and it had already reached the Legend level.
wa
This was a powerful dragon, and even among dragons, it was an extremely powerful existence. The aura of a knight was even more so. It was shockingly carrying traces of divine aura and was on the verge of metamorphosis.
This was a demigod who had just been ascended. The golden greatsword was held in his hand. The Knight rushed toward the sky and into the air in the scene.
The vast aura appeared and gradually emerged. The terrifying aura enveloped the sky, blotting the sky and the Sun. It was terrifying. This was a shocking battle.
The terrifying aura was everywhere as if many gods were fighting simultaneously. It was especially terrifying. In the end, the knight charged straight towards the battlefield, towards a certain god.
At this point, the fragments of the memory ended. No matter how hard Chen Heng tried, he could no longer see the scene after this. Presumably, after that, what was involved was the Battle of the Gods.
The huge greatsword in front of him must have been damaged in that battle, so it appeared to be why it had fallen here and was in this ruin. There was no record of this in the greatsword. Chen Heng held the greatsword in his hand and slowly walked forward. In short, obtaining this greatsword was a huge gain for Chen Heng.
In the previous battle with the Dusk Cult, he had successfully seized the Dusk Divine Weapon from the Dusk Cult.
However, the Dusk Divine artifact was the Dusk God’s divine artifact, and it had the mark of the Dusk God on it. If used in the World of Gods, the Dusk Cult would immediately notice it and summon it back.
Therefore, this divine artifact was, in fact, unusable. It had been sealed by Chen Heng in the Cursed World using the power of the Saint Child’s clone to suppress it so that nothing unexpected would happen.
Compared to the Dusk Divine Weapon, this demigod artifact before him differed. It could be summoned back at any time.
Chen Heng could sense that the previous owner of this demigod weapon, the green-armored knight, had already fallen. Even the brand engraved on this demigod weapon had disappeared. He was completely dead.
At this moment, Chen Heng was the owner of the greatsword. No one could take it away from him. It was not surprising for Chen Heng to be able to wield the greatsword.
Moreover, the status of the demigod artifact was just right for Chen Heng at this moment. With Chen Heng’s current strength, even if he was given an actual divine artifact, he might not be able to unleash its true power.
Moreover, the so-called divine artifact usually had its spirituality within it. It had its own will and master. It wouldn’t easily submit to others. Even if Chen Heng obtained a divine weapon, he wouldn’t be able to use it without worrying about its side effect. ‘A demigod weapon was just right.’
Walking on the road, Chen Heng thought for a moment. Then, he looked at the greatsword in his hand and sent it to another area.
After being silent for countless years, although the power of this demigod artifact was still strong, it still seemed a little weak. It needed to be replenished to recover its full strength.
Therefore, Chen Heng simply sent it to the Cursed World to accompany the Dusk Divine Weapon.
In that world, the faith of the Holy Son’s clone enveloped the entire world. The power of faith gathered at every moment was like an overwhelming force, extremely huge.
Using the enormous divine power of that world was enough to replenish the power of this demigod weapon, allowing it to recover its power quickly. It could even go one step further.
After doing all this, Chen Heng turned around and continued to look forward. The harvest of a demigod artifact was certainly gratifying, but the real big prize was still ahead. In these ruins, there was still a real God’s corpse lying there in these ruins, waiting for Chen Heng and the others to retrieve it.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng and the others continued to move forward, going deep into the ruins. This time, they did not encounter any other accidents. They directly entered the ruins and went deep into the ruins.
Of course, the reason why they were so successful was not that they were lucky, but because of the Eye of Nature.
As a divine artifact left behind by the God of Nature, the Eye of Nature might be slightly weaker in terms of attack, but it was incomparable in terms of scouting.
Along the way, they avoided all the places where there were restrictions left. Unless they encountered a demigod-like existence, with the Eye of Nature in hand, it would be difficult for them to encounter any accidents.
Walking into it, they arrived at the final location. It was another room, separated from the rest of the outside world.
Of course, although it was said to be a room, in reality, this area was very large. The silver starlight that filled the sky shone in all directions, illuminating the entire sky. It was as if the stars were twinkling, making it look like a galaxy.
In the surroundings, a silver river was twining around the area. There was a cloud of elemental aura within it. It was formed from a high concentration of elements and was extremely precious.
Vaguely, one could even see runes flickering. They appeared in the surroundings just like that and were exceptionally resplendent.
For a moment, there was an indescribable atmosphere in this place, appearing exceptionally sacred in everyone’s eyes. “That’s elemental water. There’s so much here?”
Looking at the flowing silver river in the surroundings, Orson and Orith’s breathing became heavier. At this moment, their eyes instantly turned red. The so-called elemental water was a substance born from the convergence of a high concentration of elements. Normally, this substance would only be born in an environment with a high concentration of elements. It was an extremely rare substance. It was very useful for Mages, but it was also a rare treasure for other professions and even for Knights. Even for Legendary beings, it was enough to be used. It could be refined into potions or incorporated into their weapons. It was extremely precious. Under normal circumstances, even a small bottle of high-concentration elemental water was already priceless. It was enough to buy a prosperous city and still have some leftovers. But there was such an entire river here. It was truly astonishing.
“It’s extravagant…”
Orson and Orith looked around and spoke softly, but they couldn’t help but feel envious in their hearts. When they were outside, they did not feel anything. But when they came here, they vividly felt the wealth of the gods.
There were many good things besides the elemental water of the entire river in the surroundings.
For example, the potted plants planted around looked extremely beautiful, but in fact, they were an extremely precious magical plants that could be used as the main material for legendary potions.
There were also some statues in the area made of extremely precious metals. There were even some divine metals that were added to the statues.
This kind of extravagance, not to mention Orson and Orith, even Chen Heng, who was used to seeing good things, could not help but look sideways and sigh at the wealth of the owner of the ruins. However, this was also good news. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, these things would soon be theirs. Chen Heng and the other two walked around this area for a long time before they finally found an entrance, a small bridge.
The bridge was made of a kind of white stone, and there was a sparkling and glittering brilliance on it, making it seem very extraordinary. If one carefully felt it, one could even feel a faint holy aura.
These white stones were not ordinary things but extremely precious and rare materials. They were stained with a trace of divine power, which made them very extraordinary.
Chen Heng estimated that this stone used to build the bridge was enough to refine a legendary weapon. It was true luxury. The three sighed in their hearts and then walked onto the white stone bridge.
They had to walk on the bridge and not directly cross it because of the elemental water around them. The elemental water itself was extremely precious, and it also possessed extremely strong stability.
This material itself was extremely heavy, and no one could cross it. They could walk over obediently. Once they touched it, they would probably be immediately dragged into the river and sealed there. If they wanted to cross the river of elements, they could only walk through the passage obediently.
Fortunately, there were no problems on the bridge. Everything seemed to be stable, and there were no accidents. With Orson and Orith beside him, Chen Heng walked to the front and came to this area’s central area.
There, a coffin was placed. As the three of them approached, a vast aura spread out, suppressing everything in all directions.
A rich god’s aura spread out, enveloping the entire area. That aura could not be compared to what Chen Heng and the other two had felt in the outside world. It was much, much stronger.
In the outside world, although there was still a vague aura spreading out and being captured by them, it would not be so terrifying. It was not even one percent of this place.
“The Eye of Nature!”
Orson’s face was pale. He used all the strength in his body to activate the Eye of Nature in his hand. He placed it in front of the three of them, using it to block the aura coming from the coffin in front of him.
As if sensing that powerful aura, the green Eye of Nature in Orson’s hand flickered slightly. There was a faint light shining in it, and it seemed to have some reaction.
However, it wasn’t enough. The majestic aura in front of them was too powerful. Even if they had the divine artifact, the Eye of Nature, they couldn’t continue forward. “Your Majesty!”
Feeling the terrifying pressure coming from ahead, Orson didn’t hesitate and looked at Chen Heng. Chen Heng nodded and didn’t refuse. He stretched out his hand and took the Eye of Nature from Orson’s hand.
Instantly, the light on the Eye of Nature brightened up, and a bright light appeared. Compared to Orson, who was only a priest of the God of Nature, Chen Heng’s body had pure divine power and pure divinity. His power level was also higher.
Because of this, he was able to control the power of the Eye of Nature to a higher degree, and it was very easy for the Eye of Nature to recover.
After recovering, the Eye of Nature easily neutralized the majestic aura before them, protecting Chen Heng and the other two as they continued to move forward.
Subsequently, Orson and Orith heaved a sigh of relief. Before this, the majestic aura coming from the coffin in front of them almost suffocated them. But now, with Chen Heng in front of them, they finally felt much better, and they had already recovered.
Of course, there was still some pressure, but compared to before, it was nothing. With the two people behind him, Chen Heng continued to walk forward.
He approached the coffin and arrived in front of it. During this process, he walked very carefully. His mind was constantly tense, and he didn’t dare to relax.
This was a relic left behind by a demigod, and the essence of its power was very high. If it had left behind a backup plan, the power that would appear would be shocking once it exploded.
To be safe, Chen Heng had to make preparations. On Chen Heng’s body, a mysterious mark had already appeared. It was already in an activated state, and it could explode. A supreme divine power aura would sweep across as if it could destroy the world and annihilate everything around.
This was the mark left by the Lord of Darkness on Chen Heng. It contained part of the power of the Lord of Darkness. This was also one of Chen Heng’s trump cards. Once any accident occurred, he would immediately use it.
