Chapter 543 – Dust Has Settled
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In just one year, the person had turned into the person before him. Even the Crimson Knight herself did not dare to believe it.
One year ago, the Crimson Knight’s clone had descended and came to Qika Star to search for news of the Golden King’s reincarnation in an attempt to capture the reincarnation. However, he had been stopped by
Chen Heng, who had yet to mature, and they had perished together.
Chen Heng had almost died at that time. His body had sunk into void turbulence, and he arrived in the Hechi Star. It had only been a year plus, close to two years. Yet, he had grown into such a state within such a short period?
Even the others did not believe it, not to mention the Crimson Knight. How was this possible? No matter how talented one was, one still had to follow the Basic Law on some matters, right?
Just like the Blue Knight and the others before him, they were able to achieve their current strength owing to the accumulation in the past. They had worked hard day and night to advance and polish, and that was how they obtained their current powerful strength.
However, what about Chen Heng? He did not seem to have many years of experience. He was very young, and one could still see the youth vitality from his body. Yet, he was already able to surpass the Blue Knight and the others steadily. ‘Could this be explained by a genius?’ The Blue Knight’s face was in a daze, not knowing what to say. tt was not that he had never seen a genius before. In fact, he himself was already a top-notch genius. He even had the title of the King’s Talent before. In reality, every one of the Five Knights was the King’s Talent, and
They wouldn’t have been able to reach their current level if not for that. But even so, their strength had been surpassed by this man, a man who was ridiculously young. ‘Could this be explained by a genius?’ The Blue Knight’s mind wavered and thought. Therefore, it was normal for him to have doubts earlier on.
Logically speaking, no matter how talented an average person was, even with so many years of accumulation, he couldn’t reach this level and surpass the Five Knights within such a short time. Yet, it happened just like that. How could this not make them feel suspicious?
Chen Heng stood before them. The Divine Bird beneath his feet let out a long cry and resounded in all directions. “Something unexpected did indeed happen, increasing my strength by a lot…” Chen Heng’s expression was very calm. He was not surprised by the reaction of the Blue Knight and the Crimson Knight. “But sorry, Iam who | am. I don’t have the identity of a king’s reincarnation like you think. I have never left a trace of my past in this world.” He said calmly.
Chen Heng knew what the Blue Knight and the Crimson Knight were thinking. They likely felt that he was the reincarnation of a king, just like Lu Yao. Unfortunately, Chen Heng wasn’t. As described, he had never left any traces of his past in this world. However, he had indeed encountered some unexpected encounters to reach this step in such a short time.
Before this, Chen Heng had allowed his clone Philip to enter the initial space, and because of this, Chen Heng had such a significant change. He had underestimated the influence and power of the initial space.
Ever since Philip entered the initial space, the power of Chen Heng’s main body had been continuously increasing. That was the nomological insight contained within the initial space, which continually entered Chen
Heng’s body through Philip’s clone. tt was precisely because of this nomological insight that Chen Heng transformed once again in a short period and continued to climb upwards. This was very obvious after he combined it with his body.
On the other hand, the backup plan that Chen Heng had left behind was also working. Before this, Chen Heng had planted the Mark of Despair that he had researched in his own body. The function of the Mark of
Despair was to stimulate the hidden power in the bloodline in the shortest time, allowing the power of the person to achieve a leap in growth within a short period.
This growth was not unlimited. It required a considerable amount of vitality to support it. Otherwise, the faster one’s power grew, the faster one would die. Chen Heng’s power was at a certain peak due to this Mark of
Despair.
As for his vitality, it was not a big problem for him. Just as he walked out of the Golden Dragon Tree, the vitality of the entire Golden Dragon Tree was brought out by Chen Heng and integrated into this body. Before this vitality was utterly exhausted, Chen Heng’s strength would only become stronger and will not stop.
This was the reason why Chen Heng had such strength. To a certain extent, he wasn’t like what the Blue Knight and the Crimson Knight had thought. He had obtained his power through his talent, but he had taken a shortcut.
Otherwise, if Chen Heng had followed the usual path and climbed step by step, he wouldn’t have been a match for the Blue Knight in another ten years. Anyhow, there was no point talking about this anymore. “This farce ends here.” Standing on top of his Imperial Beast, Chen Heng’s expression was cold as he looked at the Blue Knight and the Crimson Knight before him.
After the encounter, the Blue Knight and the Crimson knight looked embarrassed. The aura on their bodies gradually became weaker.
Hearing Chen Heng’s words, the Blue Knight suddenly became furious. “Do you think you can win?” He was a little angry as if Chen Heng’s contempt angered him. “Even if you are stronger than me now, your current state probably won’t last long. As long as you hold on for a while longer, your strength will decline. You will fail when you face the two of us!”
He looked at Chen Heng and sneered as if he had already seen through the essence of Chen Heng’s current state. After the battle just now, he had some understanding of Chen Heng’s current state, so he naturally understood the situation.
Chen Heng’s current battle strength was powerful, but it could not last long. After a while, the power in his body would fall. It was already good enough that Chen Heng could hold on and not lose facing two great knights who were not weaker than him. The situation was still on their side. aturally, Chen Heng was very clear about this situation too. However, his expression remained unchanged as he said noncommittally, “Why do you think I let you enter Hechi Star?” “Why did you let us enter Hechi Star?” The Blue Knight and Crimson Knight were stunned when they heard Chen Heng’s words as they still did not understand what Chen Heng meant.
However, they soon understood. A drastic change was occurring on the horizon. Two suns came from the horizon and shone for tens of thousands of miles in the sky. A faint light shone and shrouded the surroundings.
Then, the entire world darkened.
Endless darkness covered everything. The radiance of the stars in the outside world and the starlight in the galaxy had all disappeared. Only deep darkness was left before them, where the bottom could not be seen.
The appearance of such a situation caused many people to feel panic and fear. They did not understand what had happened. ot only did the light disappear in the dark, but even the people’s auras around them had also all disappeared. Either strong or weak auras had all disappeared. They had even lost their existence in the end, leaving no trace behind. It was as if they had lost their bodies. The meaning of existence had disappeared entirely, and they could not see or do anything.
This was an extremely uncomfortable feeling, enough to drive people crazy. Then, a bright light appeared. Two suns appeared again in front of the Blue Knight and the others. People once again felt the meaning of existence again with the appearance of the suns. The Blue Knight and the others once again felt their existence and the return of power in their bodies.
However, they did not feel happy but were terrified instead. The two suns started to rotate before them. An indifferent and boundless aura as vast and unfathomable as the world shrouded the surroundings, injecting at their bodies. Immediately, their bodies began to tremble instinctively, feeling great fear.
People then realized that the two suns in the distance were not suns but a pair of indifferent and boundless eyes that exuded infinite coldness.
Avast aura blotted out the sky and covered the sun, shrouding everything in the surroundings. In the void, there seemed to be a God standing there. His body was immeasurably huge. Even his eyes were as huge as stars, terrifying to the extreme. He appeared from the void and descended at this moment. That aura emitted and directly destroyed everything, suppressing everyone’s aura.
That figure walked out from the void and became real, turning into the figure of an old man. Philip appeared once again. He was still wearing the black robe he had worn in the past. His expression was indifferent and calm, and his eyes seemed to be filled with the weight of a world, looking incomparably terrifying.
Bang!
The world had drastically changed ever since he descended from the void. Waves of sounds spread out in this place. A powerful force surged out in all directions and charged toward the outside world. “That’s the Red Lotus King?” It was only at this moment that people realized that person’s identity.
It was none other than the master of the Red Lotus Society, Philip, who was known as the Red Lotus King. He had appeared, fought with the Blue Knight, and chased him out a month ago. And now, when Hechi Star was again in danger, he appeared once again, just as everyone had expected.
However, this time, the feeling of the Red Lotus King appearing once again was different. Although he still looked the same, the aura on his body was much more terrifying. He was as high and mighty as a God in the sky, so powerful that it was terrifying. No one dared to believe that he was a real person.
Beside him, the Blue Knight and the others were already mighty. That kind of aura made people’s hearts tremble. They did not dare to imagine the scene of him attacking with all his strength.
However, even the Blue Knight and the others were nothing compared to the Red Lotus King before them. Like the world itself, it was heavy, terrifying, and powerful that one could even control his aura.
The scene of the star being destroyed and the world being created and decaying kept appearing in his eyes. It made people feel as if they had experienced the life and death of the world and the ups and downs of the universe once again. “Why is it so terrifying…” The Blue Knight’s body began to tremble as if he had seen something unbelievable.
It was not just him. The moment Philip appeared, everyone present, including the Blue Knight, began to tremble as if an incredible existence had descended and appeared beside them. Even the Black King’s body was shaking, and his face could no longer maintain the indifferent expression of the past. He looked at Philip before him with a shocked expression.
Only Chen Heng was still calm, standing alone on Red’s back, looking around with a cold expression as if he wasn’t affected by anything.
The current Philip was indeed different from before. It was like saying that Philip’s strength in the past could be seen. Any living being could feel his aura.
In that case, Philip, at this moment, had already been sublimated. His existence seemed to have merged with the world. If he did not reach a certain level, even his existence would not be able to feel it, much less feel the terror of his own body.
However, the more powerful a person was, the more things he could sense, and the more terrifying he felt. The Black King, the Blue Knight, and the others were like this. Their bodies and hearts trembled as they felt too many things. Even standing steadily was an extravagant hope, not to mention attacking.
Before them, Philip slowly looked ahead with a pair of indifferent eyes, staring at the bodies of the Blue Knight and the others. In an instant, the destruction began. It was as if the power of the world had started to recover. The world began to exert its strength and press down together.
Everyone began to tremble under this pair of eyes, feeling that a great terror was about to descend. The destruction began. “No!” The Blue Knight’s body emitted a roar of indignation from where he stood. In the end, his entire body shattered into a pile of minced meat and scattered.
The Steel Knight and the Golden Knight followed after the Blue Knight. Under Chen Heng’s gaze, the Steel Knight and the Golden Knight also let out a series of furious roars. All the strength in their bodies burst out, wanting to fight with their might. However, this was useless.
Under those eyes, no matter how powerful the strength was, it was utterly insignificant, like a breeze blowing by. Their resistance was meaningless, directly turned into dust, and shattered..
