Chapter 789: Chapter 789 – The Dust Had Settled
A golden teleportation gate appeared before Jameson. However, it was useless.
A powerful force appeared in mid-air and slammed downwards. The golden teleportation gate before Jameson was completely destroyed and turned into a cloud of dust in mid-air that was completely useless.
Subsequently, that powerful force continued to surge forward, slamming heavily onto Jameson, breaking through several layers of protection on his body. An inexplicable sense of despair shrouded his mind, causing Jameson’s face to turn ashen.
“Why is this happening!”
He had never expected such a terrifying existence to be hidden within the Violet Palace. He swore he would never have brought Aili here if he had known earlier.
Yet now, not only was Aili taken down by the other party, even Jameson has a problem saving himself. How many King’s Council members could survive was a serious question.
However, before he had time to think, a terrifying force crashed with a loud bang, pus.h.i.+ng him onto the ground. The protective barrier around his body shattered, revealing Jameson’s actual appearance.
Nonetheless, Jameson didn’t feel despair even in such a situation. Instead, his heart was filled with joy. He keenly seized the opportunity and did not hesitate to use his last trump card.
A spatial ripple spread from where he was. Jameson had completely disappeared by the time the smoke and dust dispersed. From its looks, he had escaped directly during Chen Heng’s attack just now, without hesitation.
Chen Heng smiled and didn’t seem to care. Jameson’s departure was naturally part of his intention. Otherwise, regardless of how significant Jameson’s trump card was, he would not be able to escape the result of being crushed to death.
However, Chen Heng reckoned that, at this moment, Jameson’s value of being alive was slightly greater than that of being dead. After all, he still had an ally from the King’s Council, which Jameson greatly appreciated. Moreover, it would significantly impact the other side if Jameson died here.
Therefore, Chen Heng decided to show mercy and let him go. However, even though Jameson could leave successfully, others were not so lucky. Chen Heng was quite familiar with Jameson but not with the others.
Therefore, these people’s outcomes were doomed. Other than Aisha, who was let go by Chen Heng, the others were all taken down by Chen Heng. They didn’t even have the slightest ability to resist.
......
Soon, this turmoil that swept the entire Silver Moon Royal Family and almost disrupted the Violet Empire ended. When the battle was over, Chen Heng stood alone in mid-air, quietly looking at the scene before him.
Under the Silver Moon, he was currently like a legendary Heavenly G.o.d, representing the Silver Moon primogenitor as he descended into this world. That vast and mighty majesty was so clear that everyone could feel it.
King Violet looked up at Chen Heng, who was standing in mid-air. He could already feel Chen Heng’s gaze falling on him as if a huge mountain was suppressing him. An incomparably huge pressure appeared, so huge that he had the urge to kneel on the ground and wors.h.i.+p Chen Heng.
His expression fluctuated as many thoughts seemed to flash through his mind. However, it was not until a long while later that he finally sighed and chose to lower his head.
As he let go of his final resistance, he knelt honestly, submitting to Chen Heng. Like a fuse, King Violet’s kneel caused a chain reaction in this place. The Silver Moon Royal Family powerhouses heaved a sigh of relief when they saw King Violet’s action and subsequently knelt and submitted to the new king. A new change seems to have been established.
Standing in mid-air, Chen Heng felt the gazes from all around him. Then, a faint smile appeared on his face as if he was satisfied. To him, obtaining control of the Violet Empire was also one of his goals. Now, he could make use of the current situation to achieve it.
According to his original plan, he should have waited until King Violet fell and was killed by Aili before appearing to clean up the mess calmly. It was just that now, since his strength had increased, it wasn’t a big deal to revise his plan appropriately.
With Chen Heng’s current strength, no matter what thoughts King Violet had in his mind, he would not be able to resist. The same applied to the others present,
‘The only concern now was the Silver Moon primogenitor who had escaped from the original s.p.a.ce and disappeared.’ This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind, and he turned to look into the distance.
Time slowly pa.s.sed, and another few days pa.s.sed very quickly. During these few days, news of the royal family’s rebellion and the changes spread quickly within the Violet Empire.
The first price, Prince Aili rebelled and killed his father, King Violet, severely injuring him. Then, at the critical moment, the third prince, Prince Alan, rushed over in time to save King Violet. Subsequently, he injured and then imprisoned Prince Aili.
After that, King Violet, who had been heartbroken by his child, felt disheartened. He announced on the street that he would hand over the throne to third Prince Alan and that he was prepared to enter the royal family’s mystic realm to recuperate. In the end, Prince Alan became the new King Violet.
This news spread from the Violet Imperial City a few days later. However, everyone doubted the authenticity of this news. Regardless of everything else, the fact that King Violet was willing to surrender and give up the throne to his child itself was questionable.
Many powerhouses in this world had come into contact with King Violet. Everyone who knew King Violet was very clear about his pride and paranoia characteristic. Therefore, would such a paranoiac person hand over the power in his hands because he was disheartened? This was absurd.
Rather than saying that King Violet handed over the power voluntarily, it was more like he was forced. This was indeed the case. If it weren’t for Chen Heng’s absolute power, King Violet wouldn’t have obediently handed over the throne.
Yet, after inheriting the throne, Chen Heng didn’t make any immediate big moves to publicize the power he had. Instead, he appeared very quiet. After Chen Heng came to power, everything that King Violet left remained unchanged. He simply promoted and placed a few people in key positions.
Besides that, the expected purges did not happen. On the contrary, everything appeared to be so quiet. This made everyone heaved a sigh of relief, then perked up and thought of finding a way to please the new king.
Everyone witnessed what happened at the palace that day. As for the many n.o.ble families in the capital, they naturally knew how powerful Chen Heng was. Thus, they all began to make their moves, wanting to build a good relations.h.i.+p with the new king to establish their advantageous position in the future.
However, before they started to make their moves, a message came from the palace. The new king had already entered the laboratory and seemed busy with experiments, doing something very important.
Thinking of the bloodline drugs spread from Alan’s territory, everyone immediately figures out the king’s other ident.i.ties. Not only was he an extremely powerful king, but he was also a skilled researcher. Many people fell into deep thought, thinking of a new way to please him.
At this moment, Chen Heng was busy in the laboratory. There were many fresh corpses in the s.p.a.cious laboratory, mostly obtained by Chen Heng during the previous battle.
Although Chen Heng had let Jameson and Aisha get away during that battle, he did not let the other King’s Council’s powerhouses off. Each of them had a Seventh Rank strength and was of the royal bloodline.
Furthermore, the corpses were fresh as they had just died. Hence the energy within them was intact, without any losses. Chen Heng immediately began to experiment. With his character, since he had obtained these high-quality experiments, he naturally would not waste them.
Charlie was also helping beside Chen Heng, acting as his a.s.sistant. He looked at the few royal corpses on the side and could not help but reveal his excitement. Due to his previous good performance, Chen Heng promised that he could choose and use one of the corpses before him to transform his bloodline after this experiment.
This was naturally something worth being excited about for Charlie. The royal bloodline’s basic rank was the Seventh Rank. So after the bloodline matured, they would naturally gain the strength of this level.
Although the Seventh Rank was nothing before Chen Heng, this level was strong. It was deemed at the epic level in the World of G.o.ds, considered rare even among the many Church of the G.o.ds.
For Charlie, his power was only the Sixth Rank at its peak, which was still a long way from the Seventh Rank. However, if he could obtain a royal bloodline to transform himself, it would be the same as progressing to the Seventh Rank smoothly, without obstacles. This was certainly something worth being excited about.
Chen Heng withdrew his gaze from Charlie and focused on the experimental platform. The corpses of the royal family were nothing to Chen Heng. He had devoured countless of them during the Trial of Origins and was somewhat tired of them.
To Chen Heng, the truly valuable thing was the experiment object before him— Aili’s body. Aili was defeated and brought over by Chen Heng after the previous battle. This was undoubtedly Chen Heng’s greatest gain from this battle.
Chen Heng looked at Aili, lying before him, then smiled and muttered to himself, ‘What a familiar feeling…’
Chen Heng’s feeling toward Aili was the same as what he felt toward Silver Moon’s primogenitor, not exactly the same and somewhat different. However, the origin aura was almost the same, and both originated from the same source. Perhaps this was why Aili could devour other Silver Moon bloodlines for his use and became the Silver Moon Primogenitor’s natural enemy.
Chen Heng needed to find a way to decipher Aili’s secrets for his use. So, he began a long experiment. The experimental s.p.a.ce was s.p.a.cious, and there was room for many a.s.sistants to help him.
This laboratory originally belonged to King Violet and was deemed the royal family’s exclusive laboratory for bloodline experiments. So, naturally, this place had now been requisitioned by Chen Heng. However, from Chen Heng and the others’ point of view, even though this place was a little crude, it was still barely usable and wasn’t too lacking.
Chen Heng extracted some flesh and blood from Aili’s body. Aili’s blood was different from the ordinary Silver Moon royals. The normal Silver Moon royals’ blood should be silver. The more bloodlines the royals had, the more it was filled with the Silver Moon primogenitor’s divinity. Meanwhile, Aili’s blood was dark silver, which seemed to have mixed with something new.
However, after Chen Heng’s detailed a.n.a.lysis, he discovered that this was not the case. That black was not pure black but a colorful color. It was a mixture of many complicated powers. Nonetheless, the power that belonged to the Silver Moon royalty was still very obvious.
After a.n.a.lyzing this part of flesh and blood through the instrument, Chen Heng couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. Then, he crushed the instrument in his hand and directly devoured that flesh and blood. The Heaven-Devouring scripture in his body instantly circulated, and a new power surged into his body.
Bang!
An inexplicable throbbing feeling emerged in his heart, which Chen Heng keenly sensed an inexplicable throbbing feeling in his heart. The Heaven-Devouring scripture had devoured the essence of the bloodline to increase his origin.
This was something that could only be done with the origin of others. However, now, Chen Heng already had such an obvious violent reaction after devouring a bit of flesh and blood. This reaction surprised Chen Heng, and he realized something.
It seemed that Aili’s value was even greater than he had imagined.
‘If I couldn’t research anything, I might as well just devour it.’ He looked at Ali lying flat on the experiment table and couldn’t help but have this thought.
A moment later, a sound sounded from the outside world. It was time for lunch. Chen Heng looked at the outside world, took off his gloves, and walked out with Charlie and the others.
The laboratory slowly closed after he left. There was no one alive anymore. Then, suddenly, a pair of eyes opened with incomparable violence and resentment. It was Aili.
Surprisingly, he did not die and even recovered his self-consciousness
