"This thing…"
Looking at the enormous size of that monster"s body, standing beside Chen Heng, the girl muttered, "So big…"
Indeed, this monster was enormous.
In front of Chen Heng, this monster looked like a ma.s.sive mountain.
A chilling aura spread out from the ma.s.sive monster"s body, continuously affecting the surroundings.
It gave off a feeling of an apocalyptic beast that was incredibly terrifying.
Looking at this thing, even Chen Heng could not help but frown.
He could sense that this monster"s aura was incredibly powerful. It was not just it"s body; even its essence was the same.
Different from those other creatures, Chen Heng could sense that its very essence was incredibly powerful, and it had surpa.s.sed Second Ring strength.
Moreover, there was a wave of Darkness energy covering it completely so that not even a crack was left.
It was like the manifestation of that unknown energy, and it had great affinity with that energy.
"Have a try," the lifeform ahead laughed and said, "Ever since this Nothingness Beast awoke, you are the first to see its power. You should feel honored."
He stretched out his arms as he said loudly, "At least you can see this peerless might!"
"Roarr!!"
A thunderous roar sounded out.
As Chen Heng watched on, the ma.s.sive monster began to move.
Its mountain-like body began to move, and it quickly rushed at Chen Heng and the girl.
On its body, flames began to gather and billow.
In just an instant, this area seemed to turn into nothingness. Nothing could continue to survive there.
In response, Chen Heng"s expression did not change, seeming quite calm.
"Let"s give it a try…"
Sensing that ma.s.sive power in front of him, he remained calm and was not shaken.
Of course, to him, there was nothing worth being shaken about.
After all, this body of his was just a simulation body, and it was not his real body.
Even if he died, it would not be a big deal to him.
Moreover, from how Chen Heng saw it, he would not necessarily lose.
In that moment, Nothingness energy rippled out.
As that lifeform watched on, Chen Heng silently walked forwards.
He walked incredibly slowly, but his footsteps had a certain rhythm to them, making them seem quite strange.
As he walked forwards, his surroundings changed.
His Shadow Divinity quickly activated, and the Nothingness energy in the surroundings was drawn towards him.
Traces of black Nothingness energy was slowly drawn over from the surroundings as if it was being attracted by something, and it gradually gathered on Chen Heng"s body.
After every trace of Nothingness energy entered Chen Heng"s body, his aura became somewhat stronger.
Soon, ma.s.sive amounts of power began to ripple out from where Chen Heng was.
At this moment, he seemed like the manifestation of Nothingness energy.
Looking at Chen Heng, the girl froze.
Chen Heng"s appearance had not changed, but his aura had completely changed.
He was covered by an evil and strange aura, which was mixed with a n.o.ble and holy aura. He seemed like a G.o.d who had descended from the heavens, seeming incredibly unique.
"Roar!!"
The ma.s.sive, savage beast was still roaring. It seemed to sense something, and a trace of fear appeared in its scarlet-red eyes.
It roared, continuously retreating, seeming completely different to before.
In its mind, Chen Heng had become an incredibly dangerous creature.
"Even the Nothingness Beast is fearful…"
Looking at the ma.s.sive monster"s reaction, the lifeform in the distance looked shocked, "How is this possible?! And this powerful Nothingness energy… just what are you?"
His expression was incredibly grim as he stopped evaluating Chen Heng as a human.
No matter how he put it, this creature was not a human.
Apart from the fact that his appearance looked like a human"s, there was nothing else human about him.
Rather than a human, he was more like a Nothingness Beast who looked like a human.
A ma.s.sive aura was released as the Nothingness energy became incredibly active.
In actuality, Chen Heng also felt quite strange.
Ma.s.sive energy gathered, and the power and purity of this energy was something that Chen Heng had never experienced, even when he was at his peak."
Just the gathering of this energy could make people feel immense pressure.
In actuality, at the center of all of this, Chen Heng"s body should have long since been crushed by this energy.
It was simply too powerful, and even without directly facing it, just being around it could cause someone to collapse.
Right now, his body was incredibly tight as it was being bathed by this energy.
However, despite this, his body did not collapse and instead quickly became stronger.
This was because within his body, a Divinity was giving off light.
The Shadow Divinity was giving large amounts of light as it quickly absorbed the energy from outside, strengthening itself.
A sense of excitement came from the Divinity as it became stronger and stronger.
This Nothingness energy seemed to be very compatible with this Divinity, which was why it had awakened to absorb this energy to strengthen itself.
As the Divinity became stronger Chen Heng"s body also became stronger.
This was a natural process.
Through the simulator"s conversion process, the two Divinities had completely fused with him and become part of him.
As such, after the Divinity devoured the Nothingness energy and became stronger, his body had also become stronger.
Moreover, this happened incredibly quickly.
From what Chen Heng could feel, his body almost instantly reached the true Sorcerer level.
Moreover, things were not over.
As time pa.s.sed and his Shadow Divinity devoured more Nothingness energy, his strength would continue to grow.
Of course, he had something to do right now.
Standing there, Chen Heng raised his head, and his golden eyes looked ahead.
Golden light danced in his eyes, which gave off both a n.o.ble and terrifying feeling.
Ahead, the ma.s.sive monster began to instinctively tremble.
It loudly roared as if it wanted to give it a warning. However, it instead sounded powerless and weak.
It was hundreds of meters tall, but to the current Chen Heng, it did not seem intimidating at all.
Following this, he slowly raised his hand.
Under Chen Heng"s control, the Nothingness energy in the surroundings began to flow forwards, and a golden sword pierced through the air.
As the girl and strange lifeform watched on in shock, the golden sword flew towards the ma.s.sive monster.
That golden sword was condensed from Nothingness energy and contained immense power; just looking at it caused them to feel deep terror.
In the next moment, they watched as the golden sword stabbed out.
Bang!!
It was as if the entire world was shaking, and the savage monster roared as it tried to use its own energy to resist, but it was unable to.
In the end, as everyone watched on, the ma.s.sive monster"s body was torn into countless pieces and rained down, looking like a b.l.o.o.d.y rain.
As Chen Heng looked over, he saw the Nothingness energy in the air condense, turning into blood-colored crystals that also fell down.
Everything calmed down.
After doing all of this, under Chen Heng"s control, the Nothingness energy in the surroundings dissipated and did not continue to gather in his body.
Right now, Chen Heng could feel that he had reached a limit.
Apart from using his own power just then, he had also used the ma.s.sive amounts of Nothingness energy in the surroundings.
The power from using Nothingness energy to condense a magic skill was immense, but that was not his own strength.
However, the power was simply too immense, and just borrowing it took a great toll on Chen Heng.
That was why Chen Heng dissipated the surrounding energy.
After all, if he continued bearing that burden, it would be too much.
Moreover, at this point, it was enough.
Following this, Chen Heng turned and looked at the lifeform.
That creature was still standing there with a look of shock on his face, unable to come back to his senses.
Only when Chen Heng looked over did he come back to his senses and gave a bitter smile.
"You"ve won…"
Meeting Chen Heng"s gaze, the lifeform raised its hands, "I surrender."
He made a very quick and direct surrender.
Seeing this, the girl felt quite surprised.
"It"s not a big deal."
Sensing the girl"s att.i.tude, the lifeform shook his head, "I am the one who lost, so is it not natural for me to surrender?"
"This…" the girl felt quite speechless, not knowing what to say .
"Come with me," Chen Heng said as he looked over.
He did not plan on killing this creature for now; there was much he wanted to ask.
Compared to the people of this world, this creature most likely knew more secrets, as well as potentially the reason for the catastrophe.
He was a rare source of information.
After a while, they came to a room.
The room was somewhat spa.r.s.e, and it seemed like it had been a café. However, it was now quite rundown.
After walking in, the girl spent a great deal of effort cleaning, after which they sat down.
"So you"re not from this world?" Chen Heng asked.
"That"s right," the lifeform nodded calmly, "We are creatures from another planet and also had a prosperous civilization like yours. It was just that Nothingness energy also descended there.
"Similarly, powerful mutated creatures also appeared there, rampaging in our world. We were unable to deal with those mutated creatures, and in the end, our entire planet was destroyed."
Speaking to there, he paused and said, "I am just a survivor…"
"What was that ma.s.sive monster from before?" Chen Heng nodded as he asked.
"That was a Nothingness Beast…"
Hearing Chen Heng"s question, the lifeform hesitated for a moment before answering, "They are the fruit of our civilization.
"We collected mutated creatures as well as some powerful Star Beasts" genes, fusing them with Nothingness energy and creating a new lifeform.
"Those lifeforms all contain the Nothingness attribute and have unimaginable power. In fact, they can even be used to replace vessels to travel s.p.a.ce.
"It was because of these Star Beasts that I was able to survive."
"So they"re not mutated creatures?" the girl asked.
She looked at the lifeform, seeming quite concerned about this.
When that ma.s.sive beast appeared, she had thought that it was another kind of mutated creature; their appearance and auras were very similar.
"They can"t compare to the mutated creatures," the lifeform shook his head as he replied, "The Nothingness Beasts are created from the mutated creatures and Nothingness energy.
"In a sense, it is similar to the mutated creatures but cannot compare to them. Compared to real mutated creatures, they lack their evolution and adaptation abilities."
"So it"s like that…" Chen Heng nodded, feeling quite interested, "I"m sure you still have information on the creation of Nothingness Beasts…"
The lifeform paused before nodding, "I do have some records…"
He bitterly smiled and said, "If you want it, I can give you a copy. However, it will not be of much use to you.
"It is incredibly difficult to create Nothingness Beasts. For you, let alone the blood and flesh compositions of the mutated creatures, you won"t be able to find even Star Beasts.
"Without the genes of sufficiently-powerful creatures, even with these techniques, you won"t be able to do much. The creatures you create will not be able to compare to even the puppets that I modified."
"It"s fine," Chen Heng shook his head, not minding.
He wanted that information not to use in this world but potentially to use in other worlds.
After all, he was not limited to just this world.
