Chapter 527 – The Wait
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gunalis cultivation speed was naturally extremely fast. Of course, she was able to reach her current cultivation speed wasn’t just because of the killing power instilled in her.
The bloodline of the Oriel family, the initial meditation imparted by Chen Heng, and his teachings were all of the reasons why Gunali’s strength increased so quickly.
Of course, sometimes, an increase in life level did not mean an increase in battle power. Looking at the current situation, although Gunali’s life level had already reached the Third Rank, it would be considered pretty good if she could reach Second Rank in terms of battle-power.
After all, she was only a little girl. Chen Heng couldn’t push her too much. Before this, he had not requested her to practice many battle techniques. He had only asked her to increase her life level. In the short term, she still had a lot of potential to explore.
‘As for Mary, she was much worse. Chen Heng Glanced at Mary, who was resting at the side. More than half a year had pa.s.sed, and her strength increased.
Chen Heng did not hide anything from her. Chen Heng also taught Mary the initial meditation technique that he had taught Gunali.
However, in terms of progress, she was far from being able to compare to Gunali. Even after half a year had pa.s.sed, she was still barely at the beginner level.
Her talent was not bad, but that was all. Perhaps in the eyes of others, she could be considered a genius, but in Chen Heng’s eyes, she was only a mediocre middle-aged woman.
He stood in place and watched for a while. Then, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Gunali. In front, Gunali paused for a moment. At first, she was a little confused, but then she was pleasantly surprised.
“Teacher, you’re here!”
She looked in the direction of Chen Heng in pleasant surprise. She had already detected Chen Heng’s arrival. As Gunali’s strength increased, her unique ability became more useful.
Half a year ago, if Chen Heng had deliberately hidden, she would not have been able to detect him. But now, if Chen Heng stood in front of Gunali and didn’t conceal himself, Gunali would be able to see Chen Heng and discover his existence gradually.
This was a great improvement. And, it was only the beginning. Chen Heng believed that Gu Nali’s power would continue to improve as time pa.s.sed. In the end, it might reach a very powerful level.
However, for the time being, that wasn’t the most important thing for the time being. Although Gunali’s power and potential were impressive, she still couldn’t display it in full play under the current circ.u.mstances. She still needed time to grow.
‘And, time was what Gunali needed the most right now. Chen Heng thought so. Then he reached out his hand and patted Gunali’s head, comforting her for a moment.
A moment later, Chen Heng left the vast training ground and came to another area. It was a garden. The flowers and plants were flouris.h.i.+ng, and there were beautiful flowers in full bloom, emitting a little fragrance.
Chen Heng was among them. He did not pay attention to the beautiful scenery around him. He just walked forward and walked to the center of the garden.
A huge Golden Dragon Tree stood there. Its branches were luxuriant, and every leaf and stem was golden as if they were made of gold. It was truly unique and magical.
The tall ancient tree seemed to have brought about the change of time, and it also made the surrounding scenery sink together, experiencing the vicissitudes of the past without changing.
Chen Heng stood under the tall ancient tree alone, like an old sage, thinking about the origin and changes of the universe. He raised his head and looked at the huge Golden Dragon Tree in front of him.
‘The scene in front of him began to change. Inside the trunk of the Golden Dragon Tree were two brand-new life forms. The body belonging to Chen Heng had already taken shape and was beginning to mature. As long as Chen Heng entered it, he would be able to use it immediately.
Red was still in silence. It absorbed the external energy and the Golden Dragon Tree’s vitality to grow stronger. Now, it had recovered to its former level. It had even faintly improved and had a deeper understanding.
“although there are still some flaws, I can probably use it…”
Chen Heng muttered to himself as this thought flashed through his mind. Then, he extended his hand, and the power of his true spirit spread out, twining around the huge golden dragon tree in front of him.
Specks of golden light scattered. Inside the Golden Dragon Tree, the body opened its eyes and looked at Chen Heng. Two pairs of eyes appeared at the same time. It was a very special feeling.
Feeling so, Chen Heng smiled and then cut off the connection with the body.
In this short period, he had completed his preparation. The Mark of Despair that he had researched had already been planted on this body. According to Chen Heng’s previous research, after the Mark of Despair was planted, this body’s strength would definitely increase at the fastest speed.
Of course, there was a price to pay for this increase. The price to pay for the increase in power would greatly reduce this body’s lifespan and even vitality.
However, this didn’t matter. This so-called body was nothing to someone like Chen Heng. As long as his true spirit didn’t decay, it didn’t matter even if the body was old when it was destroyed.
Like what Chen Heng was doing right now, it wasn’t a problem for him to abandon his body and survive. The body’s function to Chen Heng was to unleash his power completely. At the same time, it was also to protect his true spirit better.
If he didn’t have a strong enough body to carry it, no matter how strong the true spirit was, it would be difficult to unleash its power. It would be greatly restricted.
Moreover, a pure, true spirit was very p.r.o.ne to be injured. Even if Chen Heng returned to the World of G.o.ds, he would also leave many problems behind if he were careless.
Therefore, a body was still necessary. If possible, Chen Heng would naturally want to perfect it to the fullest. After polis.h.i.+ng the body to the extreme, it would fuse with his true spirit.
But now, he didn’t have the time. Fortunately, from the current situation, although this body didn’t meet Chen Heng’s expectations, it could still serve him well. It shouldn’t be much if it were only for a short period.
This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind, then he turned around and left. Behind him, inside the Golden Dragon Tree, Chen Heng’s body began to change.
‘The Golden Mark of Despair spread throughout his body, activating the huge potential hidden in his body. This activation was extremely violent and violent, almost tearing his entire body apart and rea.s.sembling it.
Even though this body didn’t have a true spirit residing in it and only had basic instincts, all parts of his body were also trembling at this moment, as if he felt a huge pressure.
Blood flowed in its body. In a place that couldn’t be seen with the naked eye, there were already many injuries within its body. Fortunately, this body was still within the Golden Dragon tree.
Feeling the injuries on the body, a surge of inexplicable power began to circulate. It began to mobilize the enormous life force contained within the Golden Dragon Tree and began to infuse it into the body, healing the injuries on the body.
During this healing process, the strength of the body was rapidly increasing, changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the outside world, leaves fell with the wind. On the tall crown of the Golden Dragon Tree, golden leaves began to wither as if they had lost their divinity. They fell to the ground, looking exceptionally beautiful and unique at a glance. The scene was exceptionally beautiful.
Time continued to pa.s.s.
Another three days pa.s.sed. Three days were usually very fast. It was just a blink of an eye. However, for some people, these three days had been very anxious. The movements of the Round Table were no longer top secret.
As the high and mighty Five Knights, the Blue Knight also disdained to hide his whereabouts. Because of this, many people already knew about the arrival of the Blue Knight.
‘They also knew that the Blue Knight was about to enter the Hechi galaxy and fight with the mysterious source. It was this news that made everyone nervous.
‘The Blue Knight had roamed the galaxy for many years, and his style wasn’t a secret. Those who knew this person knew his style. To put it bluntly, most people didn’t want the Blue Knight to come to the Hechi star area, even if they let the strange thing continue to spread.2
If they let the unknown source continue to spread, they might survive and not necessarily die. However, if the Blue Knight came, the probability of dying would be very high.
‘When they knew the Blue Knight had come, many people felt heavy-hearted, as if Doomsday was coming. However, it had arrived in the end.
The people of the Hechi star field could not chase the Blue Knight away. It was not only inappropriate, but it was also courting death.
‘Their teammates automatically held down anyone who dared to do so without the Blue Knight having to do anything. They were afraid that the knight would do something stupid and implicate everyone.
Under such circ.u.mstances, they could only watch as the Blue Knight’s trail in the galaxy became clearer and clearer, gradually approaching the star.
‘Three days had pa.s.sed. Under the observation of many people, the Pale Blue Knight’s figure was getting closer and closer. At this moment, he had already reached the vicinity of this star.
Ascene appeared. On a certain night, on the Hechi Star, everyone raised their heads and could see a spectacular scene. A patch of pale blue starlight enveloped everything in the vast galaxy. It was like a layer of the sky, allowing enveloping the Hechi Star.
“What is that? A meteor?”
Apale blue meteor streaked across the sky and charged towards another dim and l.u.s.terless star. Its radiance shone brightly and was exceptionally eye-catching.
Following that, the s.p.a.ce around the entire Hechi star gradually became unstable. It was as if something in the distance had caused a change, causing the surrounding s.p.a.ce to shake, causing a series of chain reactions.
The people naturally did not understand what had happened and could only explain it with normal astronomical changes. Only the true higher-ups understood what was going on.
Malikado had already left the base and returned to his family’s manor. He had also received the news, so he quickly rushed back to his daughter’s side.
In the past half a year, due to Chen Heng’s help and the changes in Gunali’s body, Malikado had become much stronger and more confident. Therefore, in the past half a year, he seemed to be in high spirits and full of energy.
However, at this moment, he could not help but frown and feel a little depressed at this moment. He already knew the news of the Blue Knight’s arrival, and he already had an ominous premonition in his heart.
However, he was not truly in despair. Because beside him, there was still Chen Heng. During the past half a year, he made some guesses about Chen Heng’s ident.i.ty. Through his efforts to search for traces of the past, he had gained some understanding.
It was precisely because of this guess that it gave Malikado some hope. Otherwise, he would probably be in despair at this moment. The oppressive atmosphere enveloped the upper echelons of Hechi star.
Everyone who knew about the Battle of the Blue Knight felt fear and hesitation. Those who knew about the Blue Knight’s past glorious battle achievements were even more so.
However, right now, it was only fear and hesitation. It’s far from hopeless. At this moment, they are waiting, and they are watching, waiting for the final result of this battle to appear.
And in the stars, the battle has begun.
Boom!
Layer after layer of ripples in s.p.a.ce spread out, as if the surface of calm water appeared on the general fine texture, so unique. In the vast galaxy, stars fell one after another. Under the influence of some special power, they smashed forward like rain.
With the support of the power, the power of these meteorites was extremely terrifying. If they were to come into direct contact with them, they would probably immediately turn into ashes. There would be no accidents at all..
