Chapter 756 – The End

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

People were walking around, wandering around this area. Now was the free time for activities. Everyone who entered the Graveyard of the Gods had gone out to wander. After all, they had no plans for the three days of free time. It would be a waste if they didn’t make use of it.

Those who were able to join the King’s Council were most likely not lonely people. Naturally, they wouldn’t give up this opportunity. However, even though they had taken action, Chen Heng estimated that many of them would most likely not do much in the end.

That strange corrosive power was still there. Therefore, it was still fine if they stayed in the fortress, but it would be difficult to control their actions once they left.

Therefore, from this aspect, these three days were not so much about letting them move freely. It was more like letting them seize the time to adapt to the environment of this place. Otherwise, not to mention exploring this place, many people would fall behind in the hunt after three days. Chen Heng did not have this problem, but many of them have.

“Do you want to leave the city?” As he was about to leave, a voice came from the side.

A young girl came forward and looked at Chen Heng, smiling, “Hello, I am Ariel Heath. Nice to meet you.”

“A member of the Heath Family?” Chen Heng’s footsteps paused as he looked at the young girl beside him, slightly surprised.

He didn’t know the young girl personally, but her surname was famous in the Violet Empire, one of the top noble families in the Violet Empire.

“What is your relationship with Duke Aoli?” Chen Heng spoke as he looked at the young girl.

“That’s my great-grandfather.” A bright smile immediately appeared on the young girl’s face when hearing Chen Heng’s words, “What about you, sir?”

“Kling Nardo.” Chen Heng nodded and said the name of his vest.

“Nardo?” Ariel smiled, but she was muttering to herself in her heart, thinking about the surname’s origin.

This opportunity to join the King’s Council was something that her parents had obtained for her after spending a lot of effort. Before this trip, her parents had specially instructed her to pay attention to the outstanding people along the way and try to get on good terms with them. Thus, she set her eyes on Chen Heng and deliberately came over to talk to him.

Meanwhile, quite a few people here shared the same thoughts as her, but they just hadn’t had the time to do it yet. Chen Heng’s actions were swift. Besides those who happened to bump into him, the others couldn’t get in touch in time.

“Miss Ariel, I’m very happy to see you here. However, I still have some matters to attend to. Perhaps we can slowly chat later?” Chen Heng’s voice sounded again.

“Ah, sure.” Ariel lowered her head in embarrassment and only returned to her senses when Chen Heng left her side and walked out of the city gate.

She looked at Chen Heng, who did not stop after he walked out of the city gate and seemed unaffected. She was a little envious but did not know what to do and could only sigh and leave silently in the end.

The rest of the people followed Chen Heng as he strode out. They were still trying their best to adapt to the environment of this area. However, Chen Heng was probably the only one who could walk out of the fortress and explore outside. Hence, he took this opportunity to do something.

Though he did not expect to gain much, at least he had to explore this area’s general terrain. This way, it would be much more convenient when he came back again. So he explored around and found many traces of ancient ruins.

This mystic realm should have been very prosperous. Instead, there were dilapidated buildings everywhere. It seemed that there had been a prosperous civilization in ancient times. However, as time passed, these things had long been destroyed. Now, there were only pieces of wreckage left. The people who had once lived here had long disappeared.

Chen Heng explored the ruins for a while but did not find anything of value. These ruins had long been explored, and there were many traces of moving. Presumably, the King’s Council’s men had long removed the valuable things inside. Only some scrap metal was left at this moment.

Chen Heng casually explored once and then left the spot. As he continued to explore, he found some traces of biological activity. They were some very strange creatures. Some had the appearance of a human, but there were many other features. In general, they were like humanoid monsters.

These were creatures that were the result of a bloodline distortion. Today’s bloodlines originated from the mixed blood of the initial primogenitor and humans, which was why they had the human appearance.

However, in reality, the bloodline’s origin was not in the shape of a human but in other strange ways. Nevertheless, most of the bloodline remained in the shape of a human because the bloodline in their body had been diluted for a long time and had reached a relatively rare level.

Even so, if the bloodline in their body exploded and directly backfired, there was still a possibility of a bloodline backlash. A bloodline backlash would cause the bloodline in his body to devour the human bloodline, eventually turning into a primitive bloodline monster.

His strength would greatly increase, but his self-awareness would also be completely devoured, turning him into a powerful beast. Occasionally, the bloodline descendants would have a certain chance of having this kind of deformed monster, just like a deformed human fetus.

A roar sounded from the front. Chen Heng did not hide his tracks. Therefore, when he discovered the group of bloodline monsters, they naturally also discovered him too. When they discovered him, Chen Heng felt that the monsters seemed to have changed and were charging at him crazily.

“A First Rank?”

A wave of aura rippled in all directions. Before the monsters arrived, an inexplicable aura had already spread, suppressing Chen Heng’s body. However, to Chen Heng, this bit of power was minimal and wasn’t much of a pressure.

He casually stretched out his hand and pulled out a long sword, instantly killing these monsters. Then, he took out a few glass bottles and refined the impurities in these monsters’ bodies, not wasting them. Finally, he extracted their origin and stored them in glass bottles.

Although they were monsters, the bloodlines in their bodies were quite good and could be used as raw materials for bloodline advancement. Though they were a little weaker in terms of level, the effect would be quite good as long as there were enough of them.

Chen Heng thought to himself and then continued to move. There were many bloodline monsters in this area. He could slowly kill them without being too anxious. Moreover, there were even stronger monsters.

According to Elena, these low-level bloodline creatures were everywhere in this mystic realm. There were even Monarch-level monsters. These monsters had always been placed in this mystic realm so that the King’s Council’s men could not deal with them.

A mere Monarch-level in the outside world was naturally nothing to the King’s Council. However, in the mystic realm, even a Monarch-level existence would be greatly affected by the influence of that strange power. The power in their bodies would not be able to exert even half of it.

In addition, there was more than one Monarch-level monster in this mystic realm. Therefore, it was naturally not worth making a move if the danger factor was high.

However, to Chen Heng, this area was a treasure trove. If he could devour all the bloodline creatures in this mystic realm, even if he could not complete the plan in his mind, he would be able to accomplish more than half of it.

Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, Chen Heng hunted bloodline monsters in this area, devoured their bloodlines, and turned them into nutrients for himself. The harvest was not bad. Even the Silver Moon bloodline in his body had increased by another percentage.

Another day passed, and Elena’s figure appeared again the next morning. However, Elena did not show up during the previous three days. No one knew what she was doing.

Based on Chen Heng’s estimation, Elena was probably not in this mystic realm but went to control other avatars during those three days. In any case, she was only an avatar here. Therefore, if she did not want to stay here, she could just transfer her consciousness.

Chen Heng was somewhat interested in this method of hers because it was convenient. Moreover, Chen Heng would not need to go through so much trouble in the future after he learned this method.

Although it was easy to split avatars through the simulation machine, it consumed simulation points each time. Moreover, it also required the allocation of the power of one’s true spirit. Therefore, although it was convenient, it was not so practical sometimes. A method like Elena’s was great.

However, unfortunately, according to the general situation of this world, Elena’s method was most likely not a secret technique but a bloodline talent of her own. Therefore, unless Chen Heng found an opportunity to devour Elena and take her bloodline, there was no way of thinking about it for the time being.

Three days had passed, and everyone began to gather and stand before Elena. Chen Heng observed the reactions of the people around him with interest. Those around them seemed to have changed a lot after three days.

Some looked much more energetic than before as they seemed to have gotten used to it, while others looked even more haggard as if they had suffered enough.

There was also Chen Heng himself. He looked no different but outstanding among the haggard and pale people.

“Alright, let’s go.” Looking at the group of people, Elena couldn’t help but smile and start to leave.

There was nothing special about the following hunting segment. It was just a normal hunt for some bloodline creatures. Yet, unfortunately, those bloodline creatures that were being hunted weren’t very strong.

Most of them were between the First and Second Ranks because, based on the current state of everyone present, they might tumble if the bloodline creatures were stronger. Therefore, they had to be much more cautious.

There was nothing strange about the entire process, and nothing special happened. Everything went through peacefully. This trial would be over in half a month.
