Fantasy Simulator-Chapter 777 - Breaking Through

‘How many years has it been…’ The old servant stood still before the stone wall. He looked at Chen Heng, who had disappeared before his eyes, and sighed silently.

‘After so many years, you have finally waited for such a person. I hope you can truly escape this time and return to this world…’ He smiled, and his figure gradually became ethereal.

A moment later, his figure completely disappeared, turning into an illusion. The entire palace became quiet at this point, as if no one had ever visited.

Bang!

A loud sound sounded continuously in his ears.

Chen Heng fell into the stone wall. Even his true spirit was shaking, becoming chaotic. However, this process didn’t last long. His true spirit quickly recovered and woke up again after a while. Along with this process, Chen Heng opened his eyes and quickly looked at the dark area before him.

There were walls around him. At first glance, it looked like a maze surrounding Chen Heng’s place, leaving only a path forward. A strong aura reverberated in the surroundings, making people feel an inexplicable fear.

“What is this place?” Chen Heng looked at the scene before him and could not help but frown. He had been instantly pulled here before he could react.

‘What exactly happened?’ Chen Heng frowned and looked at his palm, which was still glowing.

Bursts of dazzling silver light illuminated, looking particularly obvious at a glance. Chen Heng fell into silence. Although this mark would also shine in the outside world, it had never had such a bright light as this.

Thinking of the mural from before, Chen Heng couldn’t help but have a reasonable guess. This place was most likely related to the Silver Moon primogenitor. Therefore, it was very likely that it was left behind by the ancestors of the Silver Moon Royal Family.

Yet, why did the Silver Moon primogenitor deliberately arrange for him to come to this place? Chen Heng was puzzled. He stood up from his original position and felt his current state.

The teleportation array seemed unable to be used anymore. This seemed to be a unique small space that isolated everything. There were no spatial gaps. Hence teleportation arrays and other means could not be used to teleport. His power was also suppressed, not as active as they were in the outside world.

......

However, what surprised Chen Heng was that the Silver Moon bloodline in his body had been suppressed the most. This was completely different from when he was in the palace in the outside world, as if this place existed to target the Silver Moon Royal Family.

The only thing that relieved Chen Heng was that the simulator in his body could still be used, which was great. As long as the simulator could still be used, Chen Heng did not have to be too afraid. At most, he could just reopen it if he died.

Chen Heng stood up from where he was and looked around. He seemed to be in an empty room that wasn’t big. It was like a prison, without furniture or decorations. Fortunately, it wasn’t locked. There was a road ahead without obstruction.

Chen Heng thought for a moment, then tried to take a step forward. Crisp footsteps sounded on the spot. The corridor seemed very long, and Chen Heng could not see its end even after walking for a while. Instead, he felt that the distance was longer.

An inexplicable sound came from the side. Then, as Chen Heng pondered, suddenly, a long sword came from the side and stabbed at his chest. Chen Heng stood quietly as if he did not react at all.

Bang!

A figure instantly appeared before him and smashed heavily against the wall. He could see the figure with the help of the weak light in the surroundings. It was a dried corpse that looked as if it had already rotted. The dried corpse wore tattered armor and held a long silver sword in its hand. At this moment, a huge dent appeared on its chest, which was heavily embedded into the wall.

It was still struggling and trying to climb down from the wall. Unfortunately, however, its limbs had been broken just now. Hence it could not climb down no matter how hard it tried and could only shake its limbs weakly, looking rather funny.

Chen Heng appeared before the corpse and frowned as he looked at the corpse. Then, a slight wound appeared on his palm, and crimson blood with silver drops appeared, causing Chen Heng’s frown to deepen.

‘I’m injured?’ Looking at the wound on his palm, Chen Heng felt inexplicably ridiculous.

Chen Heng was once a Demigod, an existence that had reached the pinnacle of mortals in all aspects. Even now, though his strength had not fully recovered and had only reached the Seventh Rank, he was not something that ordinary methods could kill.

In other words, with Chen Heng’s current physique, even if others chop him for days, he would not be injured. Yet, such a powerful and terrifying physique was injured at this moment. Furthermore, the person who attacked him wasn’t even strong, just an ordinary-looking corpse.

Chen Heng wanted to snatch the opponent’s long sword and drive him away, but in the end, he felt something was wrong. If he hadn’t reacted in time, his palm would have been gone.

The dried corpse before him was struggling crazily. Chen Heng stood where he was and finally made a move after thinking for a while. He slowly walked forward, snatched the long silver sword from the dried corpse’s hand, and examined it carefully.

Under Chen Heng’s gaze, the long silver sword emitted some light, and there seemed to be some fine lines on it, looking very beautiful. However, this was the essence of an ordinary longsword.

Perhaps this longsword was made of extraordinary materials, but there weren’t any powerful arrays or runes engraved on it. Hence it didn’t possess great power.

Nonetheless, no matter how extraordinary the material of this weapon was, it shouldn’t be able to break through Chen Heng’s defense under normal circumstances.

‘What exactly had gone wrong?’ Chen Heng was puzzled, then he continued to try.

He held the longsword and gently slashed at his arm. The long silver sword was not sharp and had no special power, but it caused a long and thin wound on his arm. This result made Chen Heng silent and did not know what to say.

‘What exactly is this place?’ This thought flashed through his mind, and he had an inexplicable doubt.

Bang!

A clear sound came from before him. It was the dried corpse. After struggling for so long, it finally climbed down from the wall and struggled hard to climb over to Chen Heng.

Chen Heng did not care about it. Instead, he moved his arm and waved the sword in his hand. The dried corpse flew out, and its body stopped moving, looking as if it had lost its ability to move.

‘Looks like I have to behead it to kill it.’ Chen Heng was deep in thought when he saw this scene.

Habitually, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he groped forward, preparing to test the dried corpse’s body to see if he could find any new information without realizing that it had already appeared.

On his palm, the Silver Moon mark illuminated after he had killed this dried corpse. A cool feeling emerged from within and was reflected in Chen Heng.

‘How could it be?’ Chen Heng was a little surprised and couldn’t understand it anymore.

The Silver Moon mark on his hand seemed to have grown a little stronger after he killed the dried corpse, and the power it feedbacked to Chen Heng also increased. Nonetheless, this bit of feedback was nothing to Chen Heng, though it was still a welcome change.

A somewhat absurd thought flashed through his mind. The Silver Moon primogenitor had specially brought him to this place. Could it be that he had come to this place to kill these lives and strengthen this Silver Moon mark? No, it shouldn’t be so simple. Perhaps, while killing this monster, some changes might occur without him knowing.

His hands did not stop moving while thinking in his mind. Instead, he searched around the dried corpse’s body, carefully examining it.

Soon, a surprising result appeared— it was a fresh corpse. This corpse had become a dried corpse as if it had undergone the baptism of time. However, the outcome of Chen Heng’s examination showed that it had died not long ago. This was a very contradictory result.

In addition, this corpse was a royal. Although it was not a Silver Moon royal, it was a corpse with other royal bloodlines. Its identity when it was alive was presumably not simple. Regardless, it was a branch of the royal family.

Unfortunately...

Chen Heng glanced at the dried corpse before him. Then, he continued to conduct his detailed examination after thinking for a moment. Soon, a strange result appeared in Chen Heng’s eyes.

On the one hand, the dried corpse was good in all aspects. Whether its origin or the power of the bloodline particles was preserved well, it didn’t look like it had been dead for a long time. On the other hand, the dried corpse’s body condition was that the water in its body had evaporated. It was obvious that it had been dead for more than a day or two.

Two conflicting results appeared before his eyes. Chen Heng pondered for a moment and then came up with a rather self-consistent explanation. This space had a special feature that could suppress and seal all the bloodline power in one’s body.

After Chen Heng came, most of the power in his body had been suppressed due to this special feature. As a result, the bloodline power in his body could not be activated. Hence he could not use it to its full potential. The same applied to the dried corpse before him. Although he had a powerful bloodline power, the power he could use in the end was no different from an ordinary corpse.

This was the function of this space— to suppress and to seal. However, this special feature wasn’t necessarily a bad thing at this moment. Chen Heng pondered for a while and then started to move.

He urged the divinity in his body, causing the profound law to be instantly activated. The entire process was smooth. This space had severely suppressed the bloodline’s power, but it didn’t have any apparent effect on the divinity or even the Power of Laws.

Other powers in Chen Heng’s body circulated smoothly. This made him sigh with relief, and then he started to move. Finally, the Heaven-Devouring scripture circulated, and the dried corpse before him instantly shattered into dust, which was then directly absorbed into Chen Heng’s body.

When Chen Heng’s power was weak, he still needed to rely on a series of responsible experiments to help him purify the impurities in the corpse to obtain the bloodline’s pure essence. However, there was no need to go through so much hassle now. Whether it was impurities, he could just devour them all.

He circulated the Heaven-Devouring scripture, and a warm current emerged and appeared in Chen Heng’s body. This process took only a short period, and then everything ended.

Chen Heng moved slowly and waved his arm, feeling great.

“The effect was great.” He nodded in satisfaction.

In terms of pure bloodline, this dried corpse was not as good as the many corpses he had obtained from the King’s Council. However, the advantage of this corpse was that the power in its body was complete. Moreover, due to the special nature of this space, most of its essence had been preserved, which was more helpful to Chen Heng.

After digesting the corpse, Chen Heng looked at the pile of things left under his feet. This space was very special. Chen Heng’s strong power seemed to have completely disappeared in this area. Even an ordinary longsword could pierce through his defense. Therefore, Chen Heng felt that it was better to be more cautious just in case.

He picked through the things left behind by the corpse, hoping to find some armor that could protect him. Unfortunately, this corpse had died for too long, so the equipment of extraordinary quality was already damaged beyond repair. There was nothing useful. After picking and choosing for a while, Chen Heng could only helplessly shake his head.

He continued walking forward, passing through the long and narrow passage towards the next place. Behind him, hazy darkness quickly spread as Chen Heng left, shrouding the area that Chen Heng had passed by, causing him to fall into a daze.

“Hmm?”

When the darkness descended, Chen Heng turned around and looked behind as if he had sensed something. However, he did not turn back but resolutely continued to walk forward.

An empty room appeared before him after a few steps. The areas looked empty, almost identical to the room Chen Heng had stayed in before. He looked around the room, trying to find something different from the previous room, but was disappointed in the end.

Then, he stepped into the room without the slightest hesitation. The space around him immediately changed. It was still the same room, the place was still the same, but Chen Heng seemed to have come to a snow and ice world.

He sensed a chilling aura, making him feel like he was standing naked on the snowy ground. Then, before he had time to sigh, a burst of killing intent surged forward. Chen Heng subconsciously turned his body, and a whistling sound came by his ear.

A figure that looked like a young girl appeared before him. Her body was illusory, and at a glance, she looked like a ghost with a real body. Ice and snow automatically condensed around her body, turning into pieces of ice and frost that shrouded this area.

The longsword instantly brandished like a falling star and was covered with enormous power. In Chen Heng’s body, the Sun’s power revolved instantly and shrouded his entire body, making him look like a god in the sky.

This area seemed shrouded by an extremely hot aura as if it was in the sun.

Ah!

A miserable howl sounded from the front.

Faced with the power of the God of the Sun, the girl in the frost let out a sharp cry. Her face became ferocious and terrifying, as if she was instantly stimulated by something, and her eyes were filled with hatred.

However, her struggle was useless. Everything ended after a few seconds. Chen Heng silently looked at the ice sculpture before him. The girl did not disappear after she died. Instead, she became an ice sculpture. The ice sculpture showed the girl’s appearance— a beautiful girl with an exotic look. There were no clothes on her body, and even her private part could be seen.

This was the first time Chen Heng had seen a corpse like this after it had fallen. He just did not know what kind of bloodline this belonged to. Then, he did not hesitate too much and tried to make a move.

Chen Heng circulated the Heaven-Devouring scripture, causing the ice sculpture before him to disappear instantly. A wave of frost power surged into his body, causing his face to turn pale instantly before he recovered quickly.

Three seconds later, Chen Heng’s face returned to its usual calm. He silently searched the spot for a moment and found a light blue gemstone. It looked ordinary but seemed to contain a unique frosty power. Moreover, it would form a small protective barrier if deliberately activated, making it a good protective item.

Chen Heng naturally wouldn’t be able to use it if it was in the outside world. He could destroy mountains and rivers with a casual strike. What use could a mere protective gemstone have? Yet, this gemstone was just right in this place.

Chen Heng put away the gemstone and then continued forward. After he left, the darkness behind him descended again, shrouding the entire room and causing it to sink into darkness. However, Chen Heng didn’t go far this time. Instead, he stayed in the corridor not far away.

‘Five minutes.’

Chen Heng silently calculated the time as he felt the darkness behind him. He had been calculating the time he would stay from when he entered the room. The darkness would descend and completely shroud the room once the five minutes were up.

“If that’s the case...” A sense of urgency emerged in Chen Heng’s heart.
