Chapter 345: – Cursed Item

Seeing Chen Heng accept their gift, Yang Cheng and the young man let out sighs of relief.

Following this, they chatted for a while before leaving.

It seemed that they were quite busy, and were in a hurry for something.

Watching them leave, Chen Heng’s expression was quite calm.

After they left, the middle-aged Father slowly walked over to Chen Heng’s side.

“They left?” he asked as he looked at Chen Heng.

“Yes,” Chen Heng lightly nodded.

“You… were able to see it, right?” the middle-aged Father hesitated before asking.

Hearing this, Chen Heng turned and looked at him, seeming somewhat surprised.

“Father… you can also see it?” Chen Heng spoke as if he really did not know.

“Yes…”

Meeting Chen Heng’s gaze, the Father nodded, “I can also see those things…”

“Is that so…” Chen Heng nodded, seeming quite happy.

“Everything is a blessing from the Holy Mother…” the Father said with a pious look.

“I know that you have the Holy Mother’s power and can banish evil… but I need to remind you of something,” the Father spoke softly as he looked at Chen Heng with concern, “You are still too young. At your age, you should be focusing on your studies, not spending time with such people. Those people all have evil auras…”

From how he saw it, Chen Heng was undoubtedly the Holy Son, the representative of the Holy Mother on earth.

The Holy Mother’s power and light could not be doubted, but Chen Heng’s age was too young.

At such a young age, putting aside the fact that his power was not very great yet, his personality would not be very mature yet and would not be able to deal with evildoers.

Who knew if he would be tempted by evil people and do things that would blaspheme against the Holy Mother.

As his senior and as a faithful believer of the Holy Mother, the middle-aged Father felt that he had the duty to properly guide Chen Heng.

“I understand.”

Standing there, and looking at the Father with his serious look, Chen Heng lightly smiled and nodded.

That was the case on the surface, but what he really did was another matter.

After giving this warning, the Father spoke with Chen Heng a bit more before leaving.

By now, most people had left, and there were not many left.

Looking around, Chen Heng shook his head and left this place.

After leaving this place, he went to the depths of the church and sat down.

This was his room, and was not a place other people would go.

When he stayed overnight at the church, this is where he would stay.

“Let’s have a look,” Chen Heng thought to himself.

He waved his hand and a wave of divine energy spread out, locking down this room.

Following this, Chen Heng walked to his bed and took out something.

It was the wooden box that Yang Cheng and the young man had given to him.

The black wooden box was quite heavy and looked quite exquisite.

Chen Heng could tell that the thing within the wooden box was quite unique—even without having taken it out, Chen Heng could see dense black fog coming out from it.

There was most likely something related to curses within.

“A Cursed Item?” Chen Heng thought to himself.

For it to have such a reaction, and given that it was something given to him by Yang Cheng and the young man, it was most likely such a thing.

Cursed Items were secret treasures that appeared in Cursed Lands.

They were incredibly valuable and had the source energy of curses, and they were extremely powerful.

As long as his willpower was strong enough, he could use the Cursed Item to do many things.

Before, Yang Cheng and the young man had headed into a Cursed Land and taken a risk in order to obtain a Cursed Item.

However, they had now given this Cursed Item to Chen Heng.

This was understandable.

After all, they had gone into the Cursed Land to obtain a Cursed Item in order to deal with the curse energy in that little girl’s body.

With Chen Heng’s help, they resolved the problems in the little girl’s body.

As such, they naturally did not need this anymore.

Moreover, from how people saw it, even though Cursed Items were valuable, they were not anything good.

In this world, there was a common understanding that using Cursed Items would cause one to be corrupted by curse energy, making it so that they would not have a good outcome.

As such, it was not too surprising that the two of them would give this to Chen Heng.

Perhaps from how the two of them saw it, only someone like Chen Heng could properly use a Cursed Item and suppress its power.

Now, Chen Heng could finally see what Cursed Items were like.

This world’s curse energy was the manifestation of the world’s law energy.

Since that was the case, what would the Cursed Items, which were supposedly condensed curse energy, be like?

Chen Heng felt quite curious.

As such, sitting on his bed, he did not hesitate and opened the box.

The thing inside was quite small.

“A pendant?”

Looking at the item inside, Chen Heng felt quite surprised.

The pendant did not look very good at all and was instead quite old. There was a large black gemstone socketed on the pendant, looking quite unique and seeming to have a charm to it.

The pendant initially seemed quite ordinary and unremarkable, but the more Chen Heng looked at it, the more he felt a charm from it.

If it was an ordinary person, they would easily be influenced and would not be able to leave it.

In Chen Heng’s eyes, this pendant was quite special.

“This is…”

Sitting on the bed and looking at this pendant, Chen Heng frowned as he thought to himself.

A heavy wave of curse energy flowed out from it. Even though it was not too evident, it surpassed that which was within Yang Cheng and the young man’s bodies.

No, compared to Yang Cheng and the young man, it was on a completely different level.

Even though their curse energy was powerful, it was not a big deal, and if Chen Heng wanted to, he could easily cleanse it.

However, this was not the case for the pendant.

The amount of curse energy gathered within it was quite terrifying; even though it did not seem too powerful on the surface, it was not something that could be underestimated.

Sitting on the bed, just looking at the pendant, he could feel a strange feeling in his heart.

Within his body, his dormant Divinities seemed to sense something and became active.

A faint confrontation was going on.

Sensing this, Chen Heng could not help but frown.

It seemed that in this world, Cursed Items were stronger than Chen Heng had expected.

The Divinities in his body were condensations of laws and were of an incredibly high level.

Even so, the Cursed Item could put up some resistance against them.

This was the first time Chen Heng had experienced such a thing after obtaining the Divinities.

“A crystallization of law has been detected… would you like to capture it?”

Words appeared in front of Chen Heng’s body.

Seeing those words, Chen Heng stared for a moment before nodding.

This scene was quite familiar.

If he remembered correctly, something similar had happened when he had obtained the Divinities.

As he confirmed this, some changes began to happen, and some scenes flashed in his mind.

He saw that on a vast, grassy plains, a massive arm stretched out and destroyed the land.

Curse energy descended, covering this land.

Following this, all life was exterminated.

Many scenes appeared in Chen Heng’s mind, but they were all scenes of destruction.

Within those scenes, there was the collapse of the world, the corrosion of the ground, and countless living creatures being tainted by curse energy…

Chen Heng could not help but frown.

Large amounts of law information flooded into his mind and soul.

In a place where ordinary people could not see, his soul began to give off light.

Pure soul light spread out, covering the surroundings.

Sitting on the bed, Chen Heng gasped for breath, and he only came to his senses after a while.

“Those scenes…”

Thinking of the scenes from before, his gaze was quite troubled.

Those scenes were all quite different, but they all contained destruction.

Even for Chen Heng, after experiencing those scenes, he felt quite tired and his face became pale.

This was quite shocking for Chen Heng.

With his strength, even if he fought for countless days and nights, he would not be in such a state.

However, just by taking in some information, he had become like this.

“Cursed Item…”

Thinking of those scenes, Chen Heng could not help but frown.

At that moment, he could not help but think of the essence of Cursed Items.

Before, he had just thought that Cursed Items were the upgraded versions of curse energy.

However, it seemed that this was not the case.

Chen Heng was certain that if he did not have the simulator’s power, even he would not be able to do anything to the Cursed Items.

After all, it seemed that the Cursed Items were not any inferior to the Divinities and were too strong for his current self.

Thinking to there, he couldn’t help but shake his head before sensing the changes in his body.

After absorbing the Cursed Item’s source energy through the simulator, many changes had happened within Chen Heng’s body.

The biggest change was to his Divinities.

There was not a big change to his Light Divinity; it seemed that the law energy within the Cursed Item was not very compatible with the Light Divinity.

However, the Slaughtering Divinity had greatly changed and seemed to be going through signs of transformation.

Chen Heng could sense that after absorbing the Cursed Item’s energy, the Slaughtering Divinity had been enhanced, but it was not too obvious yet.

This was a piece of good news.

From how he saw it, the Slaughtering Divinity was already quite powerful. If it could once again be enhanced, the result would be quite monstrous.

However, it would still take some time until the Slaughtering Divinity would be transformed.

Then again, Chen Heng was not in a rush.

According to Yang Cheng and the young man, there were quite a few Cursed Items in this world.

Since he now knew that the Cursed Items had decent effects on him, he would try to collect more of them in the future.

As he gathered more and more, the effects would become quite great, causing his Slaughtering Divinity to become even stronger.

Chen Heng had the patience for this.

Apart from the Divinities, there were some other changes within Chen Heng’s body.

After being bathed by the law’s energy, his soul seemed to have become stronger, giving him a unique feeling.

Moreover, his soul also affected his body. Under the effects of his soul, his body would also become stronger.

If he returned to his main body right now, he would greatly benefit.

Of course, Chen Heng would not do this yet.

“How do I deal with this thing now…”

After sensing the changes in his body, Chen Heng turned and looked at the pendant.

It still looked the same, old and simple.

It was just that after losing its source energy, the pendant now seemed like an ordinary pendant.

Of course, that was just on the surface.

For it to be a vessel of law energy, this thing was not simple.

Putting aside the law energy it had contained, just this pendant itself was a powerful material.

Thinking to there, Chen Heng stretched out his hand and picked up the pendant.

The pendant was about the same weight as a normal pendant, and Chen Heng tried squeezing it.

Even though it could not compare to his main body, Chen Heng’s strength in this body was quite powerful.

If he used his strength, he could reduce a rock to dust.

However, even with this kind of strength, he could not do anything to the pendant at all.

Chen Heng felt quite surprised.

As such, he began to use even more strength.
