Chapter 739: Chapter 739 – Invitation
‘Heaven Artifacts.’ This thought instantly flashed through Chen Heng’s mind.
As the prince of the Violet Empire, what he knew was nothing less than the first prince, Aili. Hence, he naturally knew the news about the Heaven Artifacts.
Based on what he knew, the Heaven Artifacts existed in the Violet Empire. It was rumored that the Heaven Artifacts had an immense connection with the Moon God, and there was even a high possibility that the Moon God left it behind.
However, Chen Heng did not know what kind of ability the Heaven Artifacts had. The powers of the many forces in this world might be very powerful and might surprise the gods in the World of Gods once it was exposed. Hence, Chen Heng could not help but feel some anticipation.
He continued to walk forward and arrived at the bonfire. Compared to that night, the bonfire before him was still burning fiercely. There seemed to be no difference in its appearance.
Chen Heng glanced casually and could not help but feel a little surprised. The bonfire before him looked ordinary, but in reality, it was filled with a foreign power— an unfamiliar bloodline power, giving Chen Heng a unique feeling. As for what was burning inside, it didn’t seem like normal firewood but bones.
Yes, bones. Chen Heng looked at the bonfire and finally confirmed his observation. This bonfire was indeed burning bones as raw materials. Those bones were golden in color, but they looked different. Some were normal, and some didn’t look like normal human bones but more like other creatures.
Chen Heng believed that the owners of these bones were most likely extraordinary beings when they were alive. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been used for such an occasion. The burning bonfire turned the bones into firewood, finally releasing a new power.
This town had a unique enchantment that prevented it from being shrouded by the fog outside. The power that the enchantment drove seemed to come from this bonfire.
‘What kind of reaction is this?’ Chen Heng couldn’t help but feel intrigued.
Bloodline creatures’ bones were also precious resources and could be used in various forms. However, this was the first time Chen Heng had seen such a way to use them, and he couldn’t help but feel curious, though this was not the time to feel so.
Before him, an old man was quietly standing before the bonfire, as if he was feeling the heat from within the bonfire. Chen Heng’s gaze gradually shifted to the old man. At first glance, an inexplicable palpitation emerged from Chen Heng’s body.
Chen Heng could not help but frown. He rarely had such a feeling with his current strength. The other party’s identity was probably not simple.
‘An elder of the King’s Council?’ This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind.
Then, he silently watched Kana step forward from the side and bowed respectfully to the old man, “Elder. Prince Alan’s envoy has arrived.”
Before this, Kana seemed very relaxed before Chen Heng and always smiled. Then, however, he appeared very obedient before the old man and spoke respectfully, without the slightest arrogance and ease.
“Thanks for your hard work.” A hoarse and muffled voice sounded as the old man turned around and looked behind him.
At first glance, Chen Heng and the old man’s gazes met.
Bang!
The two gazes stared at each other and collided in mid-air. Beside him, Kana’s body froze, and his face appeared even paler. He looked at Chen Heng, and his eyes were filled with shock. Then, he slowly lowered his head, not daring to meet Chen Heng’s gaze.
He was shocked. In that instant, he could feel that aura, causing the blood in his body to tremble and fear.
It was the royal family’s bloodline!
He took a deep breath in his heart as this thought flashed through his mind. Kana’s talent and bloodline were naturally not bad to be able to join the King’s Council. He could be one of the best among the many bloodline noble families.
He would often feel proud of this in the past. However, at this moment, he returned to his original form. He stood at the side, and his body was faintly trembling. He silently lowered his head, not daring to move.
However, the old man smiled, “Young man, you are very good.” At the same time, he looked surprised, “The aura of this bloodline does not seem to be from the Violet Royal Family. Are you a descendant of the Sun God?” He asked.
At that moment, Chen Heng’s bloodline aura was released and captured by him. The King’s Council undoubtedly deeply understood bloodlines, including the old man. Thus, they could immediately determine the bloodline aura released from Chen Heng’s body when they came into contact with him.
The Sun’s bloodline was also one of the royal bloodlines that originated from the Sun God. It was once transformed into the sun, illuminating the heavens and earth. It corresponded with the Moon God.
In legends, this Heaven God’s strength was extremely powerful, and he once became the King of the Gods, the one who ruled everything. The descendants of the Sun God had once established their enormous empire known as the Sun Empire in the past era, ruling over everything in the world. However, that was a very long time ago, so long ago that even the traces were hard to find.
The once prosperous Sun Empire collapsed, and the final bit of blood left behind was also integrated into the bloodlines of other noble families. Hence it was rarely seen, considered an extremely rare bloodline that only occasionally would one be able to see an awakened one.
Chen Heng was a little surprised. He naturally had the Sun’s bloodline. In the past, the Violet Royal Family had intermarried with many royal families. Thus, there were many royal families’ progenitor bloodlines in Chen Heng’s body, but the proportions differed.
Among the many bloodlines, the Sun’s bloodline was second only to the Silver Moon bloodline, which Chen Heng also activated. It was just that the proportions were far less than the Silver Moon Bloodline, so it was not as obvious.
Nonetheless, it was still a royal bloodline. Therefore, it was just right to use it here, which could also prevent the old man from associating it with Chen Heng’s body.
“You’re very good.” Seeing that Chen Heng did not reply, the old man took it as his tacit agreement, and a smile appeared on his face, “The Sun God’s bloodline has not appeared in this world for a long time. Therefore, now is the right time. However, if that is all, there is a limit to what you can achieve in the future.”
He changed his tone and said, “Here’s an opportunity that can help you improve and even let the bloodline in your body grow to the level of Prince Alan. Are you willing?”
