Chapter 778: Chapter 778 – Racing Against Time
“Five minutes...”
Chen Heng could not help but feel a sense of urgency. The time determined that he had to end the battle quickly. If he delayed for a moment, he would immediately be engulfed by the darkness.
As for what the result of being engulfed by the darkness would be, Chen Heng did not want to try it easily. It is definitely not something one would like to experience.
After tidying up his body, Chen Heng continued to move forward.
As expected, the next room appeared in front of him after walking for a while. The room was the same as the previous two rooms. Overall, there was no difference. It was like a prison with a ferocious monster in it.
This time, Chen Heng faced a monster that looked like a demon wolf. He did not know which royal bloodline it was formed from, but it was very powerful.
If it were in the outside world, Chen Heng could have killed the demon wolf easily. However, in this space, Chen Heng was suppressed in all aspects, so it took him a bit of extra effort.
A minute later, Chen Heng killed the Demon Wolf. Then, according to his previous practice, he began searching for war spoils. Finally, he found slightly damaged armor where the demon wolf was.
The armor was completely black. Its material was very special. It seemed to be able to absorb blood and repair itself spontaneously. It also possessed a kind of demonic power.
Chen Heng tried to inject his blood into the armor. Immediately, the armor emitted a hazy glow as if it had recovered a certain degree of divinity.
After absorbing the demon Wolf’s corpse, Chen Heng continued to walk forward. After a moment, darkness descended once again, enveloping the room.
This time, Chen Heng finally confirmed his guess. It was indeed five minutes.
He continued to walk forward, step by step, to clear the level. Without realizing it, he had already cleared a total of ten rooms.
The monsters in these ten rooms were all different, with high and low levels of strength. Some of them were like the demon wolves from before, causing Chen Heng to feel some pressure, while some were like the first dried corpses as if it was nothing at all.
However, the only similarity was that these were all royalty.
To be honest, Chen Heng was already feeling a little numb by now. It was fine when he was in the King’s Council, but in this place, the extremely rare royalty in the outside world seemed to have turned into cabbages. They were everywhere.
There were more after he killed them off. If others in the outside world knew about this, they would probably be shocked.
After killing so many monsters, Chen Heng’s body had also changed. From his appearance, he had already changed from a bird to a cannon. He wore black armor and a silver visor on his head, completely covering his entire body.
The silver longsword he had obtained earlier had been broken during a battle and replaced with a black greatsword. It had been found on a certain giant’s body and was quite suitable for him.
As for the other small items, such as the gemstone he had obtained earlier, there were even more of them. To a certain extent, he could be considered armed to the teeth.
As he continued to devour the corpses, the strength in Chen Heng’s body was also increasing. Under the nourishment of battle, the density of his bloodline was continuously increasing.
This was good news. The most important thing for Chen Heng at this moment was not the improvement of his strength but the improvement of his physique.
After a series of battles, Chen Heng’s physical strength had been greatly exhausted, and he was on the verge of weakening. And the enemy in front of him was getting stronger and stronger.
If everything remained unchanged, there would only be one outcome for Chen Heng, which was to be exhausted to death by an endless stream of monsters.
But with the help of the growth of his bloodline, it was much better. Although he could not fully replenish his lost energy, it was still much better.
Apart from that, there was also the Silver Moon mark on his hand. As the number of monsters Chen Heng killed increased, it also became brighter at this moment.
“The fifteenth.”
In another room, Chen Heng held a huge sword and killed the tall demon in front of him.
He wiped the sweat off his head and didn’t waste any more time or feel emotional. He went forward to search for his spoils of war and swallowed the demon’s corpse to recover his strength as soon as possible.
Then, before the five-minute limit arrived, he quickly moved forward and walked out of this area.
Boom!
The darkness quickly spread within a few seconds after he left and completely occupied the room behind him. Chen Heng did not hesitate at all and continued to walk forward.
Along with his actions, at this moment, in the depths of this space. In the hazy darkness, tall statues were standing there. This was the depths of the previous space and also the key to the seal.
There were mysterious and powerful auras on the statues, representing the ancient and sacred existences. However, in this place, these sacred existences were all silent. They were sleeping in this area, unable to wake up.
However, as Chen Heng continued to break through and kill all kinds of strange monsters in the outside world, the scene in this place began to change.
The Silver Moon Mark shined and gradually lit up. When this Silver Moon Mark lit up, it immediately dispelled the darkness around it. No matter how weak the light was, it was still very eye-catching in the darkness, attracting everyone’s attention.
“Someone managed to activate your mark...”
In the darkness, a hazy voice sounded with an unknown meaning. “Silver Moon, a pretty good existence has appeared among your descendants.”
The statue representing the Silver Moon Primogenitor did not reply to the words in the darkness. It was just that the statue itself was constantly shaking as if it was trying its best to break free from the seal.
“It’s useless.”
The voice in the darkness was somewhat disdainful towards the Silver Moon Primogenitor’s struggle. “Your seal has been strengthened for so many years. How can it be broken in such a short time?
“Give up struggling...”
The voice spoke in the darkness and then slowly sank into silence. It was not until a long while later that a new voice sounded.
“I don’t think so...”
The crisp voice of a woman sounded. It was clear and musical, moving people like the most beautiful music.
“You...”
In the darkness, the voice was surprised and saw a shocking scene. The mark representing the Silver Moon Primogenitor became brighter and brighter, and the light within became more and more astonishing.
When this light first shone, it was still very weak. It could only light up the Silver Moon Primogenitor’s figure, but as time passed, it became clearer and clearer, directly lighting up the Silver Moon Primogenitor’s body.
On the Silver Moon Primogenitor’s sculpture, cracks began to appear inch by inch. Then, her body began to return to a normal human-like body, becoming lifelike.
The Silver Moon Primogenitor looked at the figure in the darkness with a smile on her face. “Compared to the past, I’m more certain than ever that this will be the best chance for me to escape.”
As she spoke, scenes appeared in front of her. Those were Chen Heng’s experiences in the trial, from the first time he killed the dried corpse to the subsequent battles.
Chen Heng easily resolved every battle. Almost all the battles were resolved in an instant. It was so fast that it was inconceivable.
“How is this possible?”
Looking at the scene that appeared in the scene, the existence that appeared in the darkness was also very inexplicable, and he felt exceptionally surprised. Everyone present was very clear about the rules of this space. Suppose one wanted to enter this place, one first needed to have the key given by the primogenitor. Without the key, one could not enter this place.
The Silver Moon Primogenitor had previously pulled Chen Heng into the Dreamland to give him the key and allow him to enter this space.
However, just entering this space was not a big deal. Many of the monsters that Chen Heng had killed previously were also people who had entered this space to train. However, in the end, they were better off being devoured by the darkness and reduced to walking corpses.
This dimension had a special mechanism that could suppress all bloodline powers. This rule came from the source itself. Let alone ordinary mortals. Even primogenitor-level existences would be suppressed to a large extent if they entered this dimension.
However, the most important thing was the screening mechanism of this dimension. After the screening process, the one who could be arranged to be a trial taker’s opponent must be an opponent evenly matched with the trial-taker.
This was the crux of the problem. In addition to facing evenly matched opponents in terms of strength, there was also a five-minute time limit. Once the five minutes were up, if he did not clear the checkpoint, he would immediately be devoured by the darkness and become a puppet. This condition was already extremely harsh.
Was it easier to defeat an opponent that was almost on par with him in all aspects and did not even know pain within five minutes? Not to mention that even if he won this time, there would be countless next time.
Among the countless opponents, there would always be a time when they would fail. As long as they failed, there would be no future. This was the most difficult part of this trial.
In the past, this place remained the same due to the mechanism of this trial. No matter how many people came, there were no breakthroughs and not too many changes.
Many powerful cultivators from the outside world came to this place, and they would only add fuel to the corpse party. But now...
Looking at Chen Heng, who was constantly defeating his enemies in the scene and looked like he was chopping vegetables, the existence standing in the darkness had doubts about life. At this moment, he did not know what to say.
He wondered if there was something wrong with the mechanism of the trial. These few matches did not look like they were evenly matched. Instead, they should be completely crushed.
However, after carefully sensing, he did not sense anything wrong. There was no problem with the mechanism of this land of origin. The qualities of those existences were indeed similar to Chen Heng’s after he was suppressed.
The only strange thing about Chen Heng was that it seemed as if Chen Heng was not suppressed at all, yet he was still able to exert tremendous power.
“Did you do something to him?”
After thinking about it, he could only look at the Silver Moon Primogenitor in front of him and say this to him.
“Would you believe me if I said I didn’t do anything?”
The Silver Moon Primogenitor only maintained a smile on her face in response to his doubt. Then, she smiled, “But now I can be sure.
“This time, my descendants will be able to clear all the checkpoints and rescue me from this place.”
“It is a nice idea, but it’s a pity that it’s somewhat different from reality.”
In the darkness, that existence sneered and said, “Let’s wait and see.
“Since you’ve done something to him, then don’t blame me for doing it as well.”
In the darkness, his cold laughter continued to ring out. It passed through the boundless darkness and directly traveled into the distance. A change began to take place in this place quickly.
“You...”
Sensing the changes in Chen Heng’s surroundings, the Silver Moon Primogenitor’s expression instantly changed. She had already realized something.
“After so many years of erosion, thanks to you guys, I can finally control something thanks to you guys.”
The existence in the darkness opened his mouth and said with a smile, “Although I can’t completely subvert the laws of this land of origin, I could still affect it slightly as I like..”
As his words fell, the scene in the scene immediately changed.
Pit-a-pat...
The crisp sound of footsteps sounded in the passage. Chen Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked out of the room just now. As he stepped out, he came to the next room.
From the beginning until now, he had fought more than ten battles and killed more than ten bloodline monsters. However, he did not know how long this battle would last.
The monsters in front of him seemed endless, one after the other. They continued to appear. Until now, even Chen Heng’s physical strength could be continuously recovered, but he still felt a sense of physical fatigue.
If it was possible, he wanted to rest before he continued to fight. Unfortunately, the darkness behind him did not give him the time. In the previous time, he had tried to analyze the environment through the divinity in his body to verify what was in the darkness.
Unfortunately, this method did not have much effect. The foundation of the laws here was much stronger than he had imagined. Even the power of the divinity could not detect more things.
This also made Chen Heng understand that this area was unusual. It was not something an ordinary place could compare to.
He continued to walk forward and came to a dark room. The room was empty. It did not seem any different from the rooms he had experienced before. The only different thing was the opponent.
When Chen Heng walked in, his opponent was already waiting inside. This was an existence that looked like it was in human form. Its entire body was covered in a layer of silver scales.
It stood there, its entire body emitting a silver luster. Its pair of silver eyes were covered in a layer of gray color at the same time as if it had been contaminated by something.
Sensing that Chen Heng had walked in, this existence subconsciously turned around and looked at Chen Heng. In an instant, Blood Qi soared into the sky. Silver Blood Qi, like the waves of the river, surrounded the surroundings, completely enveloping Chen Heng and the figure in front of him.
Chen Heng stood up subconsciously. The blood in his body was boiling, making him realize that the being in front of him was unusual. This being was a Silver Moon Royal Family member! And it was not an ordinary Silver Moon Royal Family member.
With Chen Heng’s current bloodline level, an ordinary Silver Moon Royal Family member would not be able to bring him such great pressure, let alone put him in a disadvantageous position in a bloodline battle.
With his current strength and bloodline level, the bloodline level that could make him feel the pressure must have reached a level that outsiders would not dare to imagine.
This was likely Chen Heng’s primogenitor, an ancient Silver Moon Royal Family member. This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind. He slowly raised the huge sword in his hand and was already prepared to attack.
Opposite him, it seemed to have noticed his actions. This existence did not immediately attack. Instead, it slowly raised its hand, indicating for Chen Heng to attack.
Compared to the many existences that Chen Heng had faced before, this Silver Moon Royal Family member seemed to have retained more rationality and was not completely controlled by instinct.
However, this was useless. Given the current situation, even if the other party retained most of his rationality, it was impossible to expect him to let Chen Heng go directly.
If he wanted to pass through this place, he would likely have to go through a fair and square battle. Since that was the case, there was no need to waste time.
Chen Heng took a deep breath, then raised his head and looked forward. He raised the huge sword in his hand high up. The next moment, a huge power erupted from Chen Heng’s body.
Chen Heng directly rushed forward and chopped down at his opponent with the long sword in his hand. The huge sword in his hand was originally very huge. At this moment, under the support of Chen Heng’s power, it looked even more terrifying. It was more of a smash than a chop.
However, compared to those clumsy enemies from before, this time, the opponent’s reaction was very fast. A huge claw stretched out, grabbing Chen Heng’s chest.
Chen Heng barely dodged this attack, but the layer of protection on his body was shattered and directly broken.
At the same time, his body moved slightly to the side, and a leg ruthlessly kicked out, hitting the opponent’s chest. The powerful force created a huge dent in the opponent’s chest.
But then, the opponent rushed over again and fought Chen Heng in close combat. Under this battle, Chen Heng soon realized he was at a disadvantage.
Before this, his enemies were mostly not as fast as him, so he kept his body small and could attack more nimbly to keep dodging. But now, the opponent’s strength was far stronger than his, but his agility was not inferior to his.
Under such circumstances, he would be disadvantaged if he continued to maintain his current size. With this thought in mind, Chen Heng quickly made a decision.
A huge sword streaked across the sky and smashed heavily at his opponent. The tall Silver Moon Royal Family member dodged it. Just as he was about to continue attacking, he was suddenly knocked out.
The huge force suppressed him, causing him to be a little dazed for a moment. He subconsciously looked up. In front of him, Chen Heng from before had already disappeared and was replaced by a monster-like figure.
The figure was similarly covered in silver scales, forming a scale armor. His pair of silver eyes were pure, containing an enormous amount of Silver Moon’s power.
A holy radiance appeared on his body, making him appear somewhat holy. Not only was there not the slightest bit of strangeness but there was also a soul-stirring beauty.
