Chapter 728: Chapter 728 – The Blood of the Silver Moon

Chen Heng set off again after a short period of chaos. He brought Alice and the others to his own territory— a small territory formed by a few cities connecting together. Nonetheless, the so-called small was relative to the entire Violet Empire.

In reality, Chen Heng’s territory was equivalent to a small duchy compared to other places. It was the inheritance left to Chen Heng by his mother, which was entirely at his disposal.

Chen Heng did not stop his pace after coming to this area. Now, he felt that his strength was still a little lacking, and it was time for him to replenish his strength. Coincidentally, there were already many gains on Charlie’s side.

“Is this all?” In the quiet hall, Chen Heng finally said after looking at the many things placed before him.

“Yes,” Charlie revealed a bitter expression. He nodded at Chen Heng and said, “I’m sorry. It’s not easy to find corpses that meet your standards. I’ve spent a long time looking for these.”

“Neveer mind.” Chen Heng nodded and said, “You can go now. Remember to find Alice later to get your reward.” He said softly, then waved his hand and let Charlie go.

He had entrusted some people to help him collect the corpses before this. However, the work didn’t go smoothly. This world valued bloodlines very much. For some existences with unique bloodlines, even if they died, the corpses left behind were still a huge treasure trove.

For example, Chen Heng himself. If he died, every drop of blood and every piece of flesh on his corpse would be a treasure in the eyes of others and could be used to refine various bloodline medicines to help others activate their own bloodlines.

Correspondingly, the bloodlines in other people’s bodies might not have such a great effect. However, they were equally precious and not so easy to obtain. This was why Charlie’s progress was very slow, and his gains were not too great up to now. However, objectively speaking, this was not entirely his fault.

Precious things were still precious, even in a different world. Chen Heng looked at the things around him. He pondered for a moment, then continued to walk forward. He let Alice and the others in and placed the things in his laboratory. Then, he followed them in.

“Your Highness, these things have been taken care of.” Alice saw Chen Heng walking into the spacious laboratory and hurriedly spoke to him respectfully.

Alice was very clear about Chen Heng’s purchase of these corpses. She was the inheritance left to Chen Heng by Chen Heng’s mother and had been Chen Heng’s servant since she was young. So she had a certain degree of credibility in Chen Heng’s heart.

Previously, she was not allowed to purchase the corpses because everyone knew that she was Chen Heng’s person. Hence, it would be difficult to take action if the target were too big. However, he slowly let go of other matters and had her help deal with some of them. Alice handled most of the materials that Chen Heng had on hand.

“You’ve done well. Go have some rest first.” Chen Heng looked gentle as he nodded at her, “I’ll handle it personally from now on.”

Chen Heng was willing to let Alice know about the corpses’ purchase, but not anything else. Nonetheless, this involved Chen Heng’s secret to purify the bloodline and devour other bloodlines to upgrade one’s bloodline. Therefore, no one could know about it.

“Noted.” Alice nodded. Although a little curious, she followed the order strictly and left.

Chen Heng looked at Alice’s back as she left, then looked forward. On the experimental tables, the corpses were well taken care of. Other than the final part, which Chen Heng would handle personally, the rest of the process was done by someone else to save him time.

Charlie was the one who bought the corpses, and Alice was the loyal servant who cleaned and refined the corpses. However, it was not until the corpses had gone through a series of treatments and became the most easily digested state that Chen Heng personally took action.

Chen Heng strode forward. There was a small pool on the experimental platform where crimson liquid like blood flowed, filled with a vigorous vitality. This was the essence after treatment, condensing the various powers contained within the corpses.

In this way, some disgusting scenes could also be avoided. For example, although Chen Heng’s endurance wasn’t bad, if he could avoid directly facing a pile of rotten corpses, it would be best to avoid it.

He stretched out his hand as he walked to the front. Within his body, the power of his true spirit revolved according to some unknown melody. Following that, the Heaven-Devouring scripture started revolving, causing the entire true origin spirit to revolve, devouring the bloodline essence before him.

A moment later, the crimson liquid in the small pond before Chen Heng had also changed when he stopped. It became a light green color, and a rotten smell was coming from it, making people frown. The bloodline essence had been completely absorbed, leaving only a few rotten nutrients behind.

Chen Heng continued walking to the next place without changing his expression. He didn’t stop until he had walked through all the test platforms. Then, Chen Heng silently closed his eyes. The Heaven-Devouring scripture in his body slowly circulated, devouring and refining the essence of the bloodline he had just absorbed.

The refined bloodline ultimately turned into nutrients that stimulated the true spirit to nourish Chen Heng’s bloodline. As the power of these bloodlines surged into his body, a terrifying power that was dormant was awakened in his body.

That was the royal bloodline he inherited from the Violet Royal Family. It was said that the Violet Royal Family’s bloodline originated from the legendary God of the Silver Moon and was the descendant of the first Heaven God.

It was a terrifying bloodline that directly reached the primogenitor. One could imagine how powerful it was. It was at the most terrifying level even in the entire world.

However, although the bloodline was powerful, whether it could be activated was another question. After many years of reproduction, the bloodline of the Violet Royal Family had already gradually become diluted and was no longer as powerful as before.

The people of this world had thought of many ways to prevent their bloodline from becoming more diluted. For example, marrying a close relative or combining with an equally strong bloodline to maintain the purity of their bloodline. This was undoubtedly effective. However, it was also impossible to make the bloodline stronger, and they could only barely maintain it.

As countless years passed, many of the primogenitor’s bloodlines had been severed, and only a few descendants were left. They had no choice but to intermarry with low-level bloodlines to increase the number of descendants.

At this point, the primogenitor’s bloodline had already been diluted to a certain extent. Even the descendants of King Violet, who were direct descendants of the royal family, might not necessarily be able to activate the hidden bloodline in their bodies. There was a certain probability that they would be silent.

Comparatively speaking, Chen Heng’s body was in a pretty good condition. At least a portion of the bloodline in his body had already been activated. Now, with the power of the bloodline essence surging in, he needed to use this already diluted bloodline as a seed to nurture it and let it slowly grow stronger.

A faint silver light flickered. If someone were to stay here, they would discover a shocking scene. As Chen Heng stood there quietly, the surface of his body began to change drastically after a moment.

Scales began to appear and covered Chen Heng’s body, making him look as if he had an additional layer of armor on his body. He looked exceptionally valiant.

The Silver Moon armor. It was the secret bloodline skills of the Violet Royal Family’s bloodline. Only descendants of the royal family with a bloodline density of a certain level would be able to awaken and use it.

According to legends, this layer of scales condensed from Silver Moon scales had a very strong defensive power and was useful for many secret bloodline skills. In the past, the only child of the Violet Royal Family who had awakened this secret bloodline skills was Chen Heng’s elder brother, Aili. Chen Heng would be the second one.

‘Very powerful.’ Chen Heng carefully felt the power in his body.

His inherited body had great potential, but his strength was not very strong. As a result, the powerhouses in this world generally relied on the growth of their bloodlines to obtain power.

However, relying solely on the growth of their bloodlines to obtain power was very slow. Chen Heng’s body was not even thirty years old this year. Based on his bloodline, he was only a child, so his strength was not very strong. As a result, he was only at the Second Rank.

However, as his bloodline was further activated, Chen Heng could feel the surging power in his body under the active Silver Moon bloodline. Although he was only at the Second Rank in terms of strength, his battle strength had long surpassed it.

With the Silver Moon armor covering his body, even a Third Rank Extraordinary Beings would not be able to do anything to him. This was the bloodline’s power, and this was only the beginning.

As his bloodline was slowly activated, the power in his body would become stronger sooner or later. Chen Heng could even faintly feel his current limit.

‘The Seventh Rank.’ Inside his body, Chen Heng’s true spirit emitted and carefully felt the situation inside his body before coming to a conclusion. The bloodline in his body was enough to support him to the Seventh Rank before it became stagnant.

He didn’t need to do much at this level, only enough time. Nonetheless, if he trained hard, he could advance to the Seventh Rank much earlier, but it wouldn’t affect his final achievement much.

“It’s not bad.” Chen Heng nodded and seemed satisfied with the result.

The Seventh Rank didn’t seem like much to him, but it was already very impressive in reality. Over time, he would naturally be able to reach the Seventh Rank. If this news spread, it would probably shock many people.

This was an unimaginable situation in the World of Gods. Yet, even in this world, this result was not bad in the past three great empires, enough to rank among the people with the strongest bloodline.

However, this figure was also the limit if there were no accidents. Therefore, it would be almost impossible to advance further after reaching the Seventh Rank. Fortunately, Chen Heng had a way to change this situation. Otherwise, it would be a little troublesome.

‘Speaking of which, the level of the Heaven-Devouring scripture is quite high.’ Chen Heng could not help but think of the Heaven-Devouring scripture.

He had found the Heaven-Devouring scripture back in the Azure World, and it had been long since then. Chen Heng had not felt anything about this scripture back then. He only thought that it was profound and special.

However, looking at it from a higher angle, he realized the scripture’s terror. This scripture had a profound degree of research on the bloodlines. The creator of this scripture was probably at least a god-level figure. Otherwise, it would not have been able to achieve this level.

After a long research period, Chen Heng had long acquired a deep level of attainment and comprehension in the field of bloodlines. However, he still felt that the content of this scripture was profound and awe-inspiring. This could already explain some things.

‘If it’s possible in the future, I can take a look at that world back then.’ This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind.

Back then, he had only hastily tried the Azure World, then didn’t pay attention to it anymore. Now that he thought about it, that was not a simple world. However, if there was a chance, he could still take a look and search for the secrets of that world.

Back then, in that world, he had also taken in two disciples. Now that many years had passed in a flash, time in that world must have also passed. He did not know how it was now.

However, thinking about it, they should be doing quite well. After all, from the results back then, they could be considered a group of people who were blessed by Destiny.

Various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind. Then, he slowly walked to the outside world.

Based on his rough estimation, if the total number of bloodlines in his body was a whole number, then the Violet Royal Family’s bloodline that truly belonged to the primogenitor bloodline was probably less than one-tenth.

As for the others, there were the primogenitor bloodlines that originated from other royal and noble families. It was very complicated. However, the Silver Moon bloodline truly dominated the mainstream and affected his body.

Although the other bloodlines had a higher proportion, they were far inferior to the ancestral bloodlines, so their expression was suppressed. The primogenitor bloodlines from the other royal families were also powerful, but they could only express some small details due to their small proportion.

If Chen Heng wanted to walk the path of bloodlines, he would have to try his best to increase the proportion of royal bloodlines that occupied the main position and slowly drive out the other bloodlines.

Eventually, he would become a small progenitor when he completely purified his bloodline and turned himself into a pure Silver Moon bloodline. Then, he could become a progenitor, provided that he did not die in the future.

Nonetheless, it was conceivable that this would be difficult and probably impossible with a lot of time.
