Bang!

The surrounding space was trembling and immediately froze as the figure gradually moved. A terrifying power emitted and affected the surrounding land, almost shrouding the entire star. Under Wang Zhong’s gaze, Chen Heng slowly looked at him expressionlessly.

Boom!

It was as if lightning had streaked across instantly, and a loud sound sounded. Wang Zhong grunted and directly retreated, being pushed back by a considerable force. This was the first time he had been pushed back from the start of the battle, and this was not the end.

Before him, a slender palm stretched out, releasing a powerful force as it turned into a terrifying strike that smashed towards Wang Zhong’s chest.

Bang!

It was like the sound of metal interweaving. At this moment, the entire world was shaking.

“Come!” Under immense pressure, Wang Zhong’s expression changed slightly, but he still roared and charged toward the figure before him.

However, the next moment, Wang Zhong’s figure came flying back. Lu Yao and the others saw the scene. Wang Zhong’s body was torn apart. A powerful force penetrated Wang Zhong’s absolute defense, almost tearing his body apart. Crimson blood splashed in all directions, and waves of bloody aura

emitted. It was apparent and eye-catching.

“Impossible!” After being sent flying, half of Wang Zhong’s body was torn apart. However, with his tenacious vitality, he was still alive.

Crimson power was flickering on his body, and the slaughter power was emerging spontaneously, helping him repair his body and heal his wounds. It was as if that terrifying fatal wound did not exist on his body and did not cause any horrifying outcome.

However, as he stood there, his mind was in a daze, and he could not accept such an outcome. After so many years, his strength was more substantial than before, and even his defense was strengthened. He was confident that even someone of a higher level would have to expend a lot of energy to break

through it.

However, with such strength and defense, was he still that weak compared to that person? Then what was the point of all his hard work and killing all these years? Wang Zhong couldn’t accept it and looked daze. After a long while, he charged forward.

“No matter how strong he is, he is just a remnant clone. I don’t believe that he can continue to be so strong!” He gritted his teeth and charged forward. At this moment, he was ready to fight a battle of attrition.

Indeed, Chen Heng’s clone before him was exceptionally powerful. However, no matter how powerful it was, it could not change the fact that it was just an incarnation. In that case, its power could not last as long as its original body. Sooner or later, it would be exhausted slowly and eventually be wiped

out.

Wang Zhong had confidence in this aspect. His body contained a considerable amount of slaughter power. This slaughter power could help him increase his strength, but it could also help him recover when he was injured, allowing him to maintain his peak condition. Such a state was the most suitable for

fighting a battle of attrition.

‘Wang Zhong had full confidence that as long as his opponent could not kill him in one strike, victory would belong to him sooner or later. With this thought in mind, he rushed over.

However, in the next moment, he began to doubt his life. A palm slammed down from the front as if it wanted to kill him directly. In just an instant, his figure was sent flying once again. His entire body was slammed heavily onto the ground, looking like a bloody mess. It was as terrifying as a pile of

minced meat. If not for the fact that there was still the slaughter power spreading in his body, supporting his final life, he might have been finished with just this one strike.

“Is this the power of the Golden King’s elder brother?” Looking at the battle before them, Ye Zi and the other two let out exclamations of surprise.

Ye Zi was still okay. After all, she had seen the battle between Chen Heng and the Crimson Knight before. She was surprised but could still accept it. However, this scene was a little too exciting for the other two.

Wang Zhong was not weak. With his slaughter power, even in the entire galaxy, his strength was only below the peak’s existence. Among the fifth rank realm, there were not many who were his match. Even if he could suppress him for a while, he would be tortured to death. Thus, in the past, he was

invincible.

But now, he had become like this – a pile of minced meat on the verge of death. This was just a clone, yet it had such power. It was hard to imagine how powerful it would be if the person standing before him were not a clone but the main body. The two followers exclaimed in surprise.

Before them, Wang Zhong doubted his life. His plan was perfect. He wanted to deplete the other party’s strength slowly and finally find an opportunity to attack. However, it was a ridiculous mistake. With the current situation, he still wanted to deplete the other party’s strength slowly? He was afraid that

he would be slapped to death.

The difference in strength was too significant, and there was no way to make up for it. If he continued to stay, he would most likely be in deep trouble. With that thought in mind, Wang Zhong had the intention to retreat.

Chen Heng was still expressionless, looking forward carefully. He did not do anything else but stood silently by Lu Yao’s side and looked at Wang Zhong. It seemed that Chen Heng did not intend to continue to attack, which made Wang Zhong calm down.

‘It seemed that that person only deliberately created this clone to protect his sister. He would not deliberately target the enemy. If that was the case, there should be no problem.’ This thought flashed through Wang Zhong’s mind. Then, he quickly fled from the position before him and ran into the

distance. During this process, Wang Zhong’s gaze was fixed on Chen Heng, looking exceptionally nervous.

Fortunately, just as he had imagined, Chen Heng was standing alone in front of them. It seemed that he had no intention of coming after him. This scene made Wang Zhong calm down, and it also made Ye Zi and the others feel a little regretful.

“What a pity…” Looking at Wang Zhong’s fleeing figure, Ye Zi sighed, “It would be great if we could take the opportunity to keep him here.”

Wang Zhong was the main force chasing after Lu Yao this time, and he was also the most difficult to deal with and the most powerful target. At the same time, he was also the most substantial potential among the rising stars of the Round Table. He had the unique ability to increase his strength through

slaughtering continuously. Anyone would be afraid of him.

If they could take this opportunity to keep him here, they would be able to reduce the pressure on Lu Yao in the future, but it would also be a strike against the Round Table. Unfortunately, this clone of Chen Heng did not seem to have any rationality but only acted on instinct. Unless someone threatened

Lu Yao’s safety, he would not make a move. Under such circumstances, if Wang Zhong wanted to escape, they could only sigh and could not do anything else.

“But it’s alright…” Looking at the figure beside Lu Yao, Ye Zi sighed and felt a little fortunate. “This way, we can finally have time to complete the magic formation.”

Wang Zhong was the most powerful one among the people who came to slaughter them this time. He was already severely injured. Even with his savage physique and talent, it would still take a long time for him to recover.

This took them a long time to complete the magic formation without any interference. Ye Zi sped up his hand movements and worked hard to carve the magic formation.

Before her, Lu Yao stared blankly at Chen Heng with a complicated expression on her face. More than a year had passed since then, and she finally saw Chen Heng again. But she didn’t expect it to be in such a way.

“Brother…” Looking at Chen Heng’s familiar face, she couldn’t help but call out softly.

She did not expect him to reply. After all, judging from the previous situation, this clone did not have the intelligence to act independently. However, Chen Heng nodded and responded to her surprise. Under Lu Yao’s somewhat shocked gaze, Chen Heng slowly extended his hand and placed an arm on her

shoulder.

Following that, the transformation began. Chen Heng’s figure rapidly faded away at a highly rapid speed, turning into a burst of golden light. Following the connection, this light rushed forward and surged directly into Lu Yao’s body, fusing into one with her. A warm feeling instantly emerged.

At this moment, Lu Yao felt a comfortable feeling all over her body. A brand-new power surged into her body. This feeling was vaguely familiar to Lu Yao. Back on Planet Qika, Chen Heng had once given her a unique evolution stone with extraordinary power. And now, Lu Yao’s feeling was somewhat

similar to when she had absorbed that evolution stone, but the feeling was much more substantial.

In reality, this was the divine power. The evolution stone had once contained the divine power given by Chen Heng. And now, the main body of this incarnation was also divine power. The two powers were the same, so naturally, the feeling was the same.

The divine power contained in the incarnation healed all the wounds on her body, and the aura on Lu Yao’s body began to change slowly. The wounds on her body gradually recovered, and the previous injuries completely disappeared, returning to their original state. Apart from that, her aura also

increased, and there was a slight improvement. Without affecting her potential, it helped her improve a part of her strength.

Chen Heng’s figure finally disappeared and was entirely gone before Lu Yao when everything was over. He turned into the rain of light and disappeared. Lu Yao looked at the scene before her and subconsciously reached out her hand as if she wanted to grab something, but she couldn’t catch anything.

Feeling the emptiness, she felt a little lost. After a long while, Ye Zi and the others came over to comfort her. “Don’t worry.”

Looking at Ye Zi and the others, Lu Yao shook her head and forced a smile on her face. She didn’t want Ye Zi and the others to worry, so she turned around and looked at the almost completed magic formation before her. She changed the topic and asked, “Where are we going to teleport to this time?”

“plan to teleport further this time to avoid the previous problems.” Ye Zi touched her head and thought before saying, “I once saw the coordinates of a planet on a star map. That planet was very desolate and remote.”

“see.” Lu Yao nodded and asked casually, “What’s the name of that planet?”

“It seems to be called…” Hearing Lu Yao’s question, Ye Zi pondered for a moment, then she remembered and answered, “Hechi Star.”

While Lu Yao and the others were still constructing the magic formation and ready to leave, on the other side, Chen Heng also felt the situation over there.

“The divine power seed I left behind was used up after all.” When the avatar dissipated, Chen Heng felt the situation on the other side of the avatar, understanding the specifics of the battle: “And, in such a way?”

At this moment, he had a strange feeling. Whether it was Lu Yao or Wang Zhong, they both had a lot to do with him. Lu Yao was his younger sister while he groomed Wang Zhong. Unexpectedly, the two of them met in such a way.

“But in just a little more than a year, he reached this level of strength…” Thinking of Wang Zhong, Chen Heng smiled. “Looks like he did well.”

Chen Heng was not too surprised by Wang Zhong’s strength. The amount of slaughter power was not negligible. Chen Heng’s slaughter power was taken from Wang Zhong. In just over a year, the amount of slaughter power Chen Heng had accumulated was enough to nurture a few fifth rank powerhouses.

Based on this situation, it was not surprising that Wang Zhong’s strength had reached such a level. What was truly surprising was that under the assault of the slaughter power, he was still able to maintain his perfect rationality. He seemed even more clear-headed than when he had just obtained the

slaughter divinity. After the Round Table meeting, he had also received many benefits, thus eliminating some of the hidden dangers on his body.

This was not bad. From the beginning until now, Wang Zhong’s existence has brought Chen Heng a lot of benefits. This tool man was still handy. Chen Heng did not wish to lose it so quickly. It was also because of this that his incarnation did not finish off Wang Zhong previously but allowed him to leave

and escape.

In addition, Lu Yao’s strength had also progressed very shockingly. In just over a year, she had transformed from her weak strength to a fourth rank. She could be comparable to a fifth rank with the Ancient Armor and the Golden Mark. This kind of progress was speedy, enough to compare to Wang Zhong.

‘Thave to speed up my pace too…” Thinking of Lu Yao’s growth, Chen Heng smiled and thought. Then, he turned around and left, walking towards another area.

Being at Chen Heng’s current level and wanting to continue to grow and rapidly increase his strength was very difficult. After one’s strength reached a certain level, the more difficult it became, the further one progressed. At Chen Heng’s level, every bit of progress was a challenging thing. For others, this

was the case. However, for Chen Heng, there was still a way.

The easiest way was to use the slaughter power and the Heaven-Devouring scripture’s transformation. At the same time, obtaining the Black King’s sacrificial ceremony from the Red Lotus Society was also a suitable method. No matter which of the three methods was used, it would allow Chen Heng to

increase his strength at the fastest speed.

However, there were also some problems. The slaughter power affected one’s mind, causing one’s true spirit to no longer be pure. Even if this problem were solved, the amount of slaughter power available would also be an issue.

Over the past year, Wang Zhong had killed ruthlessly on the galaxy battlefield. However, the accumulated slaughter power was probably insufficient to help Chen Heng advance to a higher level. After all, Chen Heng had used a lot of it during this period. Even if he did not use it, the amount of strength

needed to advance from the fifth rank was still huge. Wanting to advance further would be a little challenging in the short term.

However, it did not matter. Based on the current situation, a great battle would not happen in the short term. Chen Heng was not that anxious about increasing his strength for the time being. It was acceptable for him to take things slowly.

Another place that could improve one’s strength was the initial space. The so-called initial space was a space that Chen Heng sensed during the battle between Chen Heng and the Crimson Knight. In that space, there was the projection of the initial stone tablets.

After entering that space, Chen Heng had a trace of connection with that space and could feel the existence of the initial space at certain moments. Although Chen Heng could not enter that initial space again, he could still borrow a trace of power from the initial space through this connection. This power

was also known as the initial power by Chen Heng.

Chen Heng was familiar with this power. When he fought with the Crimson Knight back then, Chen Heng was able to complete his counterattack at the last moment and repel the Crimson Knight precisely because of this power.

During this one year, along with Chen Heng’s continuous research, his connection with the initial space was also deepening. Chen Heng had a premonition that he should be able to make a breakthrough in this aspect soon. He tured around and left with this thought in mind, walking towards his

laboratory.

Time passed. Three months passed in the blink of an eye. In the evening, the sky outside was already dark. Chen Heng sat alone in his laboratory, looking at the scenery outside.

Although the sky was already dark, this change did not matter to Chen Heng and did not affect him. Chen Heng’s mood became calmer and calmer looking at the outside world through the window sill.

In the dark, a power began to descend, becoming more and more compatible with Chen Heng’s true spirit frequency. At a critical moment, a resonance began to appear.

Bang!

It was as if a stone had been thrown into the water’s calm surface. A scene suddenly appeared in Chen Heng’s mind. It was a golden portal. The golden portal was huge. At a glance, it seemed to be boundless, as vast as the stars.

Chen Heng felt the emission of a mysterious aura..
