Chapter 580 Chapter 580 – Demigod Artifact

“We should be able to get close soon…” Orson walked beside Chen Heng and accompanied him forward.

Only the three of them were left in the group. Among the three of them, Orson was under the most significant pressure. There was nothing he could do. Among the three of them, he was the only one with a divine artifact. Naturally, he was also the one who needed the most help.

Along the way, he was responsible for activating the Eye of Nature. On one hand, he was resisting the pressure from the outside world. On the other hand, he had to maintain the consumption of the Divine Artifact, the Eye of Nature. One could imagine the pressure he was under.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was strong enough and the divine power in his body was very strong, he probably wouldn’t have been able to support it. However, even so, his face had become a little pale at this moment, looking a little different from usual.

“We are close to the core…” Orith, who was panting beside Orson, said. He could feel the source of the mighty divine power before him. A terrifying aura was spreading from the front as if a savage beast was entrenched in it. It was terrifying. Even the divine power left behind by the Lord of Darkness in his body started to throb under the pressure of this aura. It began to flow spontaneously, resisting the divine power aura in the outside world.

Based on all the details, they were already close to the core area of this ruin. Chen Heng and the others also thought the same.

Chen Heng looked forward as he walked on the road. A hazy light loomed and was revealed. A mighty majesty spread out. If one looked carefully, one could vaguely see a shadow lurking there, guarding this ruin.

Chen Heng frowned as he sensed something was wrong the next moment. Before him, a seemingly substantial gaze suddenly focused on him, giving people a strong sense of danger.

“Not good!” Orson’s voice quickly sounded from the side, carrying some vigilance. A jade-colored crystal pearl slowly blossomed with light above his head. A burst of emerald brilliance seemed to be shrouding the surroundings, protecting Chen Heng and the other two. This was the Eye of Nature’s instinctive defense. It seemed to have sensed something at this moment, and it began to develop on its own, automatically shrouding Chen Heng and the other two. From its looks, something seemed to have happened.

Chen Heng looked in front. The light continued to flow but had already changed its shape. There were many dents in it, looking unique. There seemed to be some inexplicable existence attacking Chen Heng and the other two.

Orson’s face turned even paler. He had used up a lot of energy to support the Eye of Nature, and now he couldn’t hold on anymore. Orson also displayed his divine power to resist the invasion from the outside world.

“What is this thing?” He sensed the situation outside and frowned. It was as if some restriction had been activated as they arrived in the outside world. It spontaneously erupted and attacked the intruders who had trespassed this place.

Moreover, this attack was very powerful. Although it looked ordinary, each attack contained the Power of Law,enough to cause permanent damage if it hit a person’s body. Even if a legend entered this place directly, he would probably be in a challenging situation and wouldn’t be able to escape easily.

“What’s going on?” Chen Heng frowned as he looked at the attack.

With Chen Heng’s character, he would choose to enter this place as he was pretty confident. Before entering this ruin, he had already checked his current condition using the Mark of Destiny.

The omen displayed by the Mark of Destiny was very stable, with no sign of any unexpected situation. That trajectory indicated that Chen Heng would gain something from this battle and not encounter much danger. However, it did not seem like it, looking at the situation before him.

‘Was the Mark of Destiny’s inference wrong, or…’ All sorts of thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind.

As Chen Heng and the others continued to advance, the violent attack before them finally stopped. The Eye of Nature’s power abated the restrictions around them and gradually dissipated.

“What’s that?” Orson also discovered something following that.

Beside Chen Heng, Orson used the Eye of Nature in his hand to illuminate and detect the danger within the area ahead, but he also discovered that something wasn’t right in the end.

Various scenes appeared before them under the Eye of Nature’s light. This ruin was filled with fatal restrictions, enough to cause catastrophic injuries to those below the Seventh Ring.

They relied on the Eye of Nature’s power along the way to avoid these restrictions and not suffer any damage to themselves. However, the situation was different at this moment. There seemed to be an unexpected situation ahead under the Eye of Nature’s detection. An inexplicable shadow appeared and directly avoided the Eye of Nature’s detection. It couldn’t be captured.

A divine aura emerged and directly transmitted from ahead. The three people present could immediately sense something, “What a powerful divine aura!” Orith had finally felt the strange aura before him and revealed a shocked expression. Chen Heng was even more so.

“An intense divine power reaction, is it a God’s corpse? But something doesn’t seem right…” Chen Heng felt the aura coming from before him walking on the road, and he couldn’t help but frown.

In his perception, there was a strong divine aura before him, causing his body’s divine blood and divinity to tremble spontaneously and begin to resonate. It was an existence related to God to be able to make him feel this way, or else it wouldn’t be like this. It was just that he didn’t know what it was.

“Let’s look forward.” He said softly.

Orith and Orson didn’t have any objections and quietly followed beside Chen Heng, keeping an eye on their surroundings. They slowly walked toward the place where the aura came from and arrived at that place. Finally, an object appeared before their eyes.

It was a golden greatsword with mysterious patterns wrapping around the sword, making it seem unique. This sword was very extraordinary. Its owner must have been an influential powerhouse when he was alive, and even this sword possessed incredible power.

There were spots of crimson blood remaining on the greatsword, still bright and did not show any signs of drying up even though it had been countless years. A divine aura was emitted from within, giving people considerable pressure. It was terrifying, like a divine mountain pressing down on their bodies.

The only flaw was traces of damage on the giant sword. Some parts of the sword seemed to have encountered an intense collision before. Hence the entire sword was somewhat broken, making it appear somewhat flawed. However, this still did not change the powerful nature of the greatsword. The aura it emitted was still terrifying.

The attack that Chen Heng and the others had encountered before originated from this greatsword. However, this was not the greatsword taking the initiative to attack. Instead, it was just a reaction caused by the interweaving of auras.

As it was not the ancient times prohibited by the ruins itself, Orson had not been able to detect it beforehand using the Eye of Nature. The three of them came before the greatsword and looked at it.

“A demigod artifact!” Orson took a deep breath, looked at the greatsword before him, and said, “Even among the demigod artifacts, it’s powerful…” “Is it the blood on it the blood of a real God?” Orith felt the aura of the greatsword, and his face was a little shocked.

The divine power in his body began to boil. The divine power from the Lord of Darkness kept reminding him to leave. The same applies to Chen Heng. Chen Heng saw more things as compared to Orson and Orith. He felt a burning will on the greatsword.

It was an intense fighting will leave behind by the previous owner of the greatsword. It had not been destroyed, and instead, it survived even after so many years. The blood on the greatsword also carried an unfathomable power, giving people a terrifying feeling.

The three of them moved. Orson held the Eye of Nature, his divine artifact, and had the most substantial resistance to the greatsword’s power. Thus, he took the lead and moved forward, carefully approaching the greatsword, wanting to take the greatsword in his hand.

It was smooth at the beginning. With the Eye of Nature’s power, he slowly approached the greatsword but stopped within the last ten meters, unable to move forward no matter how.

An inexplicable will and power on the greatsword hindered his progress. He couldn’t move forward anymore, even with the help of the Eye of Nature. In the end, he reluctantly retreated. He shook his head and looked at Chen Heng, “The power on this demigod artifact is too strong. I can’t suppress it unless I activate the Eye of Nature…”

This demigod artifact was different from the usual demigod artifacts, and its power was too strong and overbearing. It would be expelled from its power if he didn’t receive its recognition. Orson couldn’t obtain and receive the recognition of this demigod artifact.

It was also not desirable to activate the Eye of Nature, as starting the Eye of Nature in the outside world had already created a terrifying scene. If they were to activate the Eye of Nature directly in the ruins, they might instantly start the divine power in the ruins and even touch the God’s corpse, causing it to collide with the Eye of Nature.

It would not be what they wanted to see, no matter what the outcome was at that time. Thus, no matter how unwilling Orson was, he could only retreat at this moment.

“Let me try.” After Orson, Orith was also unwilling to fall behind and wanted to give it a try.

Like Orson, he tried his best to walk forward, getting close to the greatsword. He did not have the protection of a divine artifact like the Eye of Nature on him. Still, he also had the divine power left behind by the Lord of Darkness in his body, which was enough to temporarily resist the powerful and imposing aura emanating from the greatsword.

Even so, he could not get close to the greatsword. He also stopped when he was more than ten meters away and could no longer move forward. He also retreated in the end. The entire process was even worse than Orson’s. He looked at the golden greatsword unwillingly.

A demigod artifact was the most powerful existence other than a divine artifact. In this era where the Gods were silent, except those with a divine artifact or a legendary force, almost no one could rival a demi-god artifact. A demigod artifact was comparable to a demigod when activated at full power, especially since this demigod artifact before them was extraordinary at first glance. It might even have been stained with God’s blood and had a trace of the aura of a real God. It would be enough to be the inheritance of a church if they could obtain this demigod artifact.

Right now, the item was there. However, it was impossible to get it no matter how hard one went. They could not help but feel heartache, unwillingness, and discomfort as they could only see it but not get it. However, there did not seem to be much to be done.

Chen Heng pondered, then took a step forward. “Your Majesty!” On the side, Orson hurried forward, wanting to hand over the Eye of Nature to Chen Heng.

The power of a demigod artifact was no joke. This demigod artifact was enough to destroy all existences below the Seven Rings without the protection of a divine artifact or even God’s power. Even a legend would be seriously injured if he was not careful. After all, this demigod artifact was unique, and it seemed to be in a recovery state. Any moment of carelessness could be dangerous. And as the king of the Hatim Kingdom, if something accidentally happened to Chen Heng, the consequences would be unimaginable. Facing Orson and Orith’s nervousness, Chen Heng only shook his head and said, “No worries.”

He wouldn’t die here so quickly. In the past, he had even faced the Dusk Divine Weapon, a genuine divine artifact, let alone a mere demigod artifact, and it couldn’t hurt him at all.

Under Orson and Orith’s gaze, Chen Heng slowly strode forward. Step by step, he walked along steadily and didn’t feel like the struggle that Orson and Orith felt. Instead, it seemed as if he was taking a walk quickly. The scene before him was revealed as he walked closer.

An inexplicable aura surged into Chen Heng’s body, making the divinity in his body boil. In Chen Heng’s body, the existing divine power and divinity were automatically recovering. As if sensing the power in the demigod artifact before him, he didn’t want to be outdone. “It’s indeed powerful…” This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind as he sensed the aura of the demigod artifact.

Before him, the demigod artifact felt even more unique compared to the usual divine artifacts. Its previous owner had left an indestructible mark on its body, so despite so many years past, a mighty, domineering power remained on it.

It was precisely why this greatsword was always in a state of activation. Only the arrival of an outsider would trigger a confrontation. If others were unable to obtain its recognition, even if they used a divine artifact to suppress the other party, they would still be unable to use it.

These thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind, and then he took a step forward and continued to sound.

Chen Heng moved forward under Orson and Orith’s gaze, looking very steady from the start to the end. The majesty of divinity was so mighty that it could suppress everything and make the king bow his head and didn’t dare to have any evil thoughts.

However, such a powerful divinity was like a gentle breeze before Chen Heng. It did not make him stop at all, as if he was not affected. Such a terrifying situation was genuinely shocking

“Is this the strength of His Majesty?” Looking at Chen Heng’s back, Orson looked at Orith beside him. He could see the shock in Orith’s eyes.

Although they had long expected it, it was clear that Chen Heng’s performance had exceeded their expectations. It was far beyond their imagination. In their perception, Chen Heng was like a God who had descended into the world. The divinity winding around his body had taken the initiative to erupt and appear spontaneously, giving people the feeling of a real God.

A series of sizzling sounds could be heard. The green Eye of Nature began to awaken spontaneously in Orson’s hand. There seemed to be some reaction to it, and it gradually fluctuated and changed. Immediately, Orson’s expression changed, and he hurriedly started scouting with the Eye of Nature.

Everything in the surroundings began to change under the Eye of Nature’s vision. Numerous restrictions started to appear on their own, sweeping across the surroundings.

A golden divine light soared into the sky on Chen Heng’s body. One could vaguely see the apparent divinity within it. It coiled around his body, resonating with the demigod artifact in the distance.

This scene left Orson stunned, “It’s divinity!” As he looked at Chen Heng’s body in extreme horror, he thought, “Could His Majesty be the reincarnation of a divine son, as the rumors said?”

Not only the previous Lord of Darkness, but even Orson could not help but have this thought after seeing this scene. Divinity was exclusive to the domain of Gods. Only existences above the demigod level could have it. Even if mortals had divinity, they could not wholly integrate it into their bodies and turn it into their things. They could only use the power from within at most but could not change their nature.

Besides Gods, the only ones who could have divinity were the children of those Gods – the divine sons. They were the most dazzling group of people. In theory, every divine son had the potential to become a demigod, at least.

Orson’s breathing became heavier thinking of this. Before him, Chen Heng’s figure was still moving forward, and he was gradually approaching the finish line.
