Chapter 515 – The Story
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were many things on this planet that Chen Heng was interested in. For example, the bloodline of the Oriel family and the magic formation before him. At least in Chen Heng’s opinion, this magic formation was unique.
Using this magic formation, Tarilo could not take down Chen Heng, which could only mean that Chen Heng was too strong, Tarilo’s subordinates were too weak, but it didn’t mean that the power of this magic formation was weak. In Chen Heng’s eyes, this magic formation was very interesting. This was something that surpassed Tarilo’s current level. It was definitely not something that a fourth or fifth rank could deduce. “The King’s Spirit Formation…” Under Chen Heng’s gaze, Tarilo lowered her head and said the name. “The King’s Spirit Formation…” Chen Heng repeated and then smiled, “Have you obtained it from the King’s Ruin?” “Yes.” Tarilo finally nodded.
Chen Heng immediately understood. The King’s Spirit Formation was related to the King just from the name alone. Tarilo also obtained this King’s Spirit Formation from the Black King’s ruin.
This wasn’t strange. Even though Philip and the other two were among them in the ruins, they weren’t in the same place. They had their gains back then, and each had obtained many things. For example, Philip had obtained the stone tablets from the stone palace as one of his foundations.
Delia and Tarilo would naturally be no exception if Philip were like this. They each had their gains in the ruins. However, Tarilo might have gained even more than the two. After all, from the current situation, she was the strongest and the one who had hidden the deepest.
Walking out of the camp, Keo had already brought people to wait there. When he saw Chen Heng before him, his face showed a fanatical expression, “Elder!”.
He took significant strides forward. As he was about to speak, he realized something was amiss and hurriedly changed his address, “Leader!”. In the past, Philip was only one of the three great elders of the Red Lotus Society. But now, Chen Heng had already consolidated the entire Red Lotus Society and became a well-deserved leader.
The title of Elder was no longer appropriate. He had changed to the title of Leader. Therefore, Keo was very clever and quickly changed his address. Behind him, the others also promptly reacted and began to speak. For a moment, the scene was vibrant.
Chen Heng looked at the lively scene before him and only smiled and waved his hand. Instantly, the vibrant scene in the surroundings quieted down. “Tarilo.” Chen Heng said indifferently, “From today onwards, you are still an elder of the Red Lotus Association.” “Yes.” Tarilo lowered her head and listened to Chen Heng’s words and half-knelt on the ground to show her submission.
At the same time, she heaved a sigh of relief. She was still an elder of the Red Lotus Society, which meant she would not be killed. No matter what, she would at least be able to keep her life. “Keo.” His indifferent words sounded. “Great Leader, I am here.” Keo hurriedly said and walked towards Chen Heng. “From today onwards, you are the second elder of the Red Lotus Association.” Chen Heng’s voice sounded extremely calm as he spoke. “Me? Elder?” His sudden words caused Keo to be stunned, but he quickly reacted. A trace of surprise and fear appeared on his face. “B-But my strength…” He looked at Tarilo, who was half-kneeling and lowering her head towards Chen Heng and did not know what to say.
To be fair, becoming an elder of the Red Lotus Society was Keo’s dream. The Red Lotus Society’s internal structure was apparent. As elders, they had the benefits and authority that many ordinary members dreamed of.
For example, the elders would usually be the first to enjoy the feedback from the sacrifices. After the elders had finished enjoying the best offerings, the remaining ones would be given to the rest of the Red Lotus Disciples, which would be very limited.
If Keo became an elder, he would probably be able to increase his strength and status at the fastest speed.
However…
Looking at Tarilo beside him, Keo’s heart was still beating slightly. The elders of the Red Lotus Society had always been synonymous with the powerhouse. In the past, be it Philip, Delia, or Tarilo, the only one who was not at the peak of the fourth rank and was close to the fifth rank was Keo. At this moment, Keo’s strength was only barely at the second rank.
He could be pretty good in the Red Lotus Society at this level. Although he could not be one of the best, he could still be one of the core members. However, if he were compared to Tarilo and the others before him, he was undoubtedly worse. It would be impossible for him to sustain as an elder of the Red
Lotus Society with such strength.
Looking at Keo, Chen Heng was a little surprised. It was only then that he smiled and said, “For you to be able to think of this, this proves that you haven’t been blinded by greed, which is good. With this quality, you have the qualifications to become an elder.” “As for your strength…” He paused for a moment and then extended his hand.
Under the gaze of the Red Lotus Disciples, a crimson radiance emitted and appeared in Chen Heng’s hand. Under his control, this crimson light penetrated directly into Keo’s body. The power in Keo’s body began to increase gradually.
On the side, Tarilo, who had been half-kneeling on the ground and had not made any movements before, raised her head and looked at Keo with surprise. She could sense that Keo’s aura was rapidly increasing. Moreover, it was at a speed that she had never seen before. ‘Is this a brand new sacrificial power? She looked at this scene and was greatly shocked. She had some doubts.
Was Philip like her, had hidden something in the King’s Ruin when was in the past? Otherwise, why would he have such powerful strength and even have such a method that could quickly increase a person’s strength?
Keo’s aura increase was somewhat similar to a priest’s, but his speed was much faster. After all, the so-called priest needed to pay attention to the basic rules. The amount of power one wanted to obtain was the amount of sacrifices one needed to pay.
Therefore, the Red Lotus Disciples had put ina lot of effort to obtain sacrifices in the past. However, Tarilo did not see any sacrificial offerings for the advancement of Keo.
A moment later, Keo’s advancement finally came to an end. A powerful aura was revealed before everyone’s eyes. Keo raised his head once again. Crimson radiance emitted from his eyes.
The aura on his body was unprecedentedly active. At this moment, he looked exceptionally excited and had an unprecedented feeling. He felt as if he had become instantly stronger hundreds or thousands of times. No matter what kind of enemy he faced, he could easily defeat them. It was as if he was omnipotent and could do anything. This feeling made people infatuated and a little crazy. “How do you feel?” Chen Heng’s voice was heard.
Instantly, Keo shivered and hurriedly nodded, looking at Chen Heng in front of him, “It feels good.” A smile appeared on his face, and he quickly said, “My strength has increased a lot…”
His strength had indeed increased a lot. Before his strength had increased, it had barely reached the second rank. But now, after being baptized by Chen Heng, his strength had suddenly completed a leap, reaching the third rank. Moreover, he wasn’t weak, even in the third rank.
This kind of improvement in strength was genuinely astonishing. In the past, who knew how many times he would have to go through a sacrifice to achieve this, and it would take a long time. But now, it happened in a short instant.
This kind of improvement in strength gave people a magical feeling. If one observed, they would find that there was something wrong with Keo’s current condition. His expression became even more excited. His body was faintly twitching as if he was in excitement. In his eyes, a hint of ruthlessness flashed past, as if there was a slaughter aura was emerging, making people fearful.
This situation did not seem to be a big deal to others. The rapid increase in strength would cause many problems. For example, it would often happen in situations where one could not control one’s strength or even control it.
Even Tarilo did not think that this was a problem. She was still shocked by this rapid increase in strength. However, Chen Heng noticed this situation and frowned. “Tt seems that this is his limit.” Observing Keo’s appearance and aura, Chen Heng shook his head.
What he had injected into Keo’s body was nothing else but the slaughter power. Excluding the hidden dangers, using the slaughter power to increase one’s strength was highly suitable. It was fast, and the power he obtained was also real.
The reason why the body that Chen Heng had seized was able to reach the fifth rank so quickly was also related to the injection of a large amount of slaughter power.
However, the hidden dangers of injecting the slaughter power would cause many impurities to appear in the true spirit realm. It was easy for problems to arise, and it could even cause one’s personality to change significantly.
This was what Keo looked like. In the past, to avoid problems, Chen Heng had rarely bestowed this kind of power to others. However, Wang Zhong’s situation gave Chen Heng some inspiration.
As the person who personally planted the seed of slaughter, Chen Heng initially thought that Wang Zhong’s fate was destined. Soon, he would become crazy under the wear and tear of the slaughter power and eventually become a lunatic.
However, the reality was not like that. Since then, it had been a long time, and more than a year had passed since that battle. The slaughter power gathered in Wang Zhong’s body had already reached an immeasurable number.
Logically speaking, he should have gone crazy long ago and become a complete lunatic. However, the reality was not like that. Even now, he was not crazy and was still active. Chen Heng could feel his existence and even his current state.
As an existence with the seed of slaughter in his body, not only did Wang Zhong not become crazy, but he also became much calmer and more normal than before. This situation had also inspired Chen Heng.
Indeed, the slaughter power would trigger the true spirit chaos and become crazy. But, as long as his will was strong enough, and he used a particular secret technique to purify the impurities, then the problem would be significantly reduced. As long as the issue of true spirit chaos was eliminated, the slaughter power would be substantially reduced. For this, Chen Heng used the opportunity before him to do another experiment. “When you go back, practice according to this secret technique.” Looking at Keo, Chen Heng spoke with interest and injected a piece of information into Keo’s mind.
It was a meditation technique that Chen Heng had mainly deduced. It referred to the Moon God’s sacrificial offerings that Chen Heng had obtained from the Sorcerer World and other corresponding methods.
The Moon God’s sacrificial ceremony of the Moon Elves was very beneficial in purifying the true spirit. However, this Moon God’s sacrificial offerings could only be practiced with the elves’ bloodline. It was not only trying for others to practice, but also mostly useless.
Therefore, Chen Heng had tried to simplify this ritual and then gifted it to others early on. This was the reason why he had given Ke’ao this meditation technique.
Chen Heng wanted to try and see if Keo could use his strength to overcome the aftereffects of the slaughter power without him making a move. If it were possible, then the usage of the slaughter power would be much more significant.
There were also other people. Chen Heng turned around and looked at the others. Under his gaze, most of the Red Lotus Disciples around him looked at Chen Heng with eyes as vibrant as they could be. Even Tarilo’s eyes were shining as if she was looking forward to this method. “Strength is not important.” Facing the gazes of everyone present, Chen Heng smiled and said softly, “As long as you are loyal enough, strength will never be a problem.” After saying that, he turned around and left.
Chen Heng came to a building, bringing Keo and Tarilo. In the hall, Chen Heng looked at the two people in front of him in the hall and said, “Tell me about it. The story about you.” He looked at Tarilo and said first, “And the enemy you wanted to guard against. Who are they?”
The magic formation that Tarilo built was not set up for Philip and the others. She did not need to go through much trouble to deal with Philip and the others with her strength. She could just attack them directly. There was no need to put in any effort to build the magic formation. The magic formation that she made was created for other people.
Chen Heng became the first person to face the magic formation by chance. However, this did not hinder Chen Heng’s interest. Chen Heng was very interested in the enemies of Tarilo. So, he immediately called them over and prepared to ask them. “That’s another very long story…” Tarilo was silent for a moment before speaking. A bitter smile appeared on her face..
