Chapter 622: Chapter 622 – The Fourth Armed Catastrophe
Chen Heng left Xiao Han and soared into the sky, preparing to leave this mystical realm.
Of course, during this process, he had been observing Xiao Han’s reaction. Throughout the entire process, he felt Xiao Han’s shock, disappointment, and relief. He smiled at this.
“Not bad.”
To be able to accept reality so quickly, Xiao Han’s temperament was not bad, not bad at all.
There was a reason why Chen Heng left Xiao Han. Before this, Chen Heng had been in a deep sleep. To digest the various origins he had obtained from the Sword Tomb, he had been in a deep sleep for a long time. Only today did he wake up.
And now, more than ten years have passed since then. The things he had done back then had long been done. Chen Heng no longer needed to continue sleeping and could move freely.
Staying with Xiao Han was just a waste of time. Moreover, if he continued to stay with Xiao Han, it might not be a good thing for Xiao Han.
Just think about it. Chen Heng staying in Xiao Han’s hands could help Xiao Han move forward as he wished and even take revenge to a certain extent. But what’s next?
Chen Heng still had to leave in the end. He was not someone’s nanny. He could not take care of Xiao Han for his entire life. Sooner or later, he would leave.
And at that time, Xiao Han would still be beaten back to his original state. He would even be quite proud because of the help Chen Heng had brought him. The more proud he was, the more he would fall after Chen Heng left.
On the contrary, leaving now would not cause much of an impact on him. It would also be able to knock down the last glimmer of hope in his heart.
After that, he should be able to face reality and focus on cultivation. He would no longer have any thoughts that he should not have.
Before this, Chen Heng had restored his Dao Foundation’s injuries. This mystic realm before him could be considered a secret. After recovering his Dao Foundation, if Xiao Han was careful enough, he could improve further.
And a cultivator in the nascent soul stage had a lifespan of thousands of years in this world. Chen Heng had already done him a favor by helping him so much. There was nothing to say.
Bang!
An ancient sword soared into the sky in mid-air, directly rushing into the air, cutting through the sky. Then, all was silent.
The view in front of him began to change. When Chen Heng broke through the air and arrived at the end of this secret realm, he broke through the isolation and arrived at a piece of nothingness.
This area was the boundary between the outer world and the many small worlds. There was no real world in it, only a piece of nothingness.
In the distance, star-like existences were blooming with radiance, flickering at this moment. The appearance of these stars was all different. Some were bright and resplendent, while some were exceptionally dim, appearing extremely ordinary.
These were all small worlds that existed at the edge of this world, relying on the center of the world to exist.
Chen Heng sensed the existence of these small worlds and glanced at them. Then, he attempted to charge toward the region where the main world was located.
However, he did not succeed. Within the world of the main world, there was a thick layer of isolation that blocked Chen Heng. Even many symbols soared into the sky, like the arrays set up by experts in the past.
These arrays were extremely powerful. People set them up in the past. There were deep and powerful imprints on them, causing people to be bewildered.
Chen Heng sized up these spell formations and could not help but frown. If he was willing, he could break through the isolation of this layer of spell formations and enter directly.
However, Chen Heng had a premonition that it would probably cause some bad things to happen and even draw out some things if he did this. Because of this premonition, Chen Heng stopped his actions and continued to stop in the void.
At that moment, he had something that belonged to him. Bolts of lightning flashed in the void and cut through the void. The fragments of space spread out and shook the entire area.
Then, Chen Heng’s true spirit raised its head and looked up. There, bolts of lightning were growing. A mighty Armed Catastrophe was brewing as if it was about to explode.
The Armed Catastrophe?
That’s right, the Armed Catastrophe. After being silent for more than ten years, Chen Heng had already completely digested his previous gains during this period. He had finally completed his transformation and stepped into the next level.
Because of this, he welcomed a new challenge, the next Armed Catastrophe.
Rumble!
Bolts of lightning streaked past and directly landed on Chen Heng’s body in the air. They collided with his sword, emitting waves of violent sounds that were like metal colliding.
Chen Heng did not care about this. He just quietly bathed in the lightning and experienced the baptism of the lightning that filled the sky.
Bang!
A crisp sound was heard. Chen Heng did not move. He felt the changes in his body. According to the number of times, this was the fourth Armed Catastrophe, and it was also a critical one.
In the cultivation of cultivators, awakening the true spirit at the fourth level was an extremely crucial step.
And after the weapon spirit passed the war tribulation, this fourth war tribulation was equivalent to the stage of advancing to the fourth level. Naturally, it was also extremely important.
At this moment, Chen Heng could already feel the uniqueness of this war tribulation. Once he could pass it, it would bring about a huge transformation.
It would even allow him to enter another state.
Bang!
A light sound rang out, rippling in all directions and affecting the space here.
This was the void, and there was no real matter in the surroundings. Otherwise, even a piece of divine land would have been shattered by such a massive tribulation, and not many traces would have been left behind.
However, it was much better in the void. At the very least, only Chen Heng was transcending the tribulation in this place, and it would not affect other lives.
Amid the tribulation, Chen Heng stood alone, silently sensing the changes in the catastrophe.
“Lifeforce…”
Standing in the void, he looked forward, and this thought flashed through his mind.
Unlike the previous Armed Catastrophe, which all had destructive auras, this was equally powerful, and its destructive power was far greater than all the previous Armed Catastrophes. Still, it also contained an inexplicable life force.
That life force was unique, and it seemed to have a trace of the world origin’s characteristics, which could give enlightenment and give people a new life.
Under the influence of that wisp of life force, Chen Heng’s true spirit transformed, having some strange changes.
Boom!
All of a sudden, Chen Heng’s true spirit began to tremble. A brand new power was born from his true spirit before spreading to the entire sword body.
In a trance, the originally densely packed runes on Chen Heng’s body seemed to come to life as they began to revolve spontaneously.
Gen Qi surged over from all directions. It originated from the Armed Catastrophe and was wrapped up by the power of the Armed Catastrophe. At this moment, it became a source of energy for Chen Heng to continue moving forward.
With a boom, the area began to shake. An ancient sword tore through the air and charged toward the Armed Catastrophe.
Time slowly passed. After half a month, the entire void was enveloped by the sound of thunder, making it appear exceptionally terrifying.
The fourth catastrophe was exceptionally special, but its difficulty was also terrifying.
At the end of this catastrophe, it had already reached the point where even a fourth stage cultivator would be shocked.
If Xiao Han had come here before, he probably wouldn’t have been able to withstand it for long. He would have been heavily injured by this catastrophe, falling to the point of death.
Chen Heng managed to survive. After the Armed Catastrophe, his body cracked again, but it quickly healed, as if it was undamaged.
From this Armed Catastrophe, Chen Heng had absorbed a large amount of inexplicable life force, causing his true spirit to undergo a transformation, which led his body to grow and take a step forward.
A new power was born, turning into an inexplicable pattern engraved on the sword.
“This is a pleasant surprise…”
After the Armed Catastrophe ended, Chen Heng was inside the remaining lightning. He couldn’t help but smile as he felt what he had gained this time.
It had to be said that he had gained a lot from this Armed Catastrophe. That special life force came from the unique rules of this world. It was the baptism and fortune of the weapon spirit. It was unique.
Even with Chen Heng’s situation, the strength of his true spirit was so strong that he could obtain many benefits from it. His true spirit seemed to have a brand new nature, and it became even stronger.
This kind of situation didn’t exist in the previous Armed Catastrophe. One could only say that it was indeed a pleasant surprise. This was also the destiny of traveling between different worlds. Different worlds had different rules and different fortunes.
Take the Heavenly Catastrophe of this world, for example. Although it was a kind of catastrophe for the cultivators of this world, it was also a rare good fortune.
With the baptism and help of this Heavenly Catastrophe, the cultivators of this world would often be stronger when they were at the same level, stronger than the Extraordinary Beings of other worlds.
Standing quietly in the Void, Chen Heng patiently waited for the end of this Armed Catastrophe. Then, he began to absorb the surrounding vital energy and recover himself.
Strictly speaking, inside the void was considered to be outside the world. The spiritual energy inside was very rare.
The vital energy in front of him was gathered because of the Armed Catastrophe. To a certain extent, it was very rare. It would be very difficult to find something like it if he missed it.
After absorbing all the Gen Qi, another few days passed. And at this moment, more than half of the effects of the Armed Catastrophe had passed. The remaining ones were nothing.
Chen Heng turned around and looked at the world in front of him. In his line of sight, the world in front of him was like a massive star. There were fluctuations and undulations of the world’s power, emitting the world’s mighty power.
And outside the world, many inexplicable imprints appeared, which Chen Heng could feel. Those were the imprints left behind by the world’s most powerful powerhouses. They were directly imprinted in the world’s consciousness and were very powerful.
These imprints protected the world itself and became the formation’s basic elements, blocking out all existences that coveted the world.
“This world… doesn’t seem too simple…”
Chen Heng felt the imprints and the remaining power on them, and he couldn’t help but frown.
From what he could sense, the remaining power on those imprints wasn’t weak. The owner of each imprint at his peak wouldn’t be weaker than Chen Heng’s original body.
And this was not an ordinary level. The Eighth Ring level was extremely rare, even in the World of Gods.
In the past, when the gods were active, and the World of Gods was at its peak, Legends were also top-notch existences. Even the Churches of Gods had to pay attention to and treat them with courtesy and would not treat them lightly.
Of course, the world in front of him was not as good as the World of Gods, but it could be considered very good for so many Legends to appear in this world.
In particular, there were a few imprints among them. The aura on them was exceptionally powerful, causing people to be especially frightened at a glance.
Among the many imprints, these imprints were the absolute core. The aura and essence power engraved on them had already faintly surpassed a level, reaching another category.
That was… a Myth?
Chen Heng observed these imprints, and then this thought flashed through his mind.
Looking at the situation before him, this world was well protected. If there were anyone who dared to have any evil thoughts towards this world, they would probably be badly injured.
Of course, this also caused a little trouble for Chen Heng. And it was only a little trouble.
Although he was an outsider, he was still playing someone from this world, and from the looks of it, he still belonged to this world’s creatures. In this way, most of the trouble caused by the operation of the array could be eliminated, leaving only a small part of the trouble.
However, even if it were small trouble, it would still need time to be resolved.
Therefore, in the following period of time, Chen Heng quietly stood at this moment, observing the operation of the array in front of him.
He observed the operation of the array and the fluctuations of the world’s power. He felt the laws and changes within, understood the deep connections within, and learned the runes engraved within to enrich himself.
This process took a full few months. It was not until five months later that Chen Heng finally moved.
His body rushed forward, and he moved at a critical moment when the array was operating. He accurately inserted the key cycle between the operation of the array and the operation of the world power and then rushed in.
