Standing in the wilderness, Chen Heng thought to himself.
In his current situation, the Heaven Devouring Scripture was indeed somewhat effective.
It was just that it was not very effective.
If it was in the past, when he had just descended to this world and his Spirit Foundation was still in good condition, he would have obtained the Heaven Devouring Scripture. Perhaps it would have been useful.
Using the Heaven Devouring Scripture as a foundation, devouring bloodlines and constitutions from the outside world to go through transformations and perfect one's Spirit Foundation was not something impossible.
However, it was not very possible now.
Things were different from a year ago.
A year ago, when he had just descended to this world, his Spirit Foundation had only just been destroyed and was not as bad as it was now.
But now, the condition of his body had already reached an extreme.
At this point, it wasn't impossible for him to stop the collapse of his Spirit Foundation and mend it. However, the amount of sin he would need to kill and the number of living beings he would need to kill would reach a terrifying level.
Moreover, he might not even succeed.
It was best to forget about such a thankless task.
Chen Heng silently shook his head.
This place was within the Desolate Region, and there were no outstanding constitutions or bloodlines for him to devour.
If he chose to devour ordinary people's bloodlines, it would not be of much use to him.
However, if he chose to go somewhere else …
Putting aside whether or not he could make it in time, just finding geniuses with outstanding talent and special constitutions was a problem.
Those geniuses with outstanding talent and special constitutions would have long since been discovered by others and taken in. They would not be easy to deal with.
Moreover, with Chen Heng's current situation, devouring one or two geniuses would not be enough to recover.
Unless he was willing to become enemies with the entire world, it was best to give up on this idea.
He could not be bothered to do such a thankless task.
After all, even if he did, he might not survive.
If he did not have a choice, it would be fine. However, Chen Heng was not in his main body right now, so what was the point?
After thinking to himself, he shook his head and looked to the side.
In the distance, within a house, Liu Li and Liu Yi were still sleeping in their own rooms.
However, Liu Yi was truly asleep, while Liu Li's eyes were closed and he was pretending to be asleep. In actuality, he was not asleep.
Who knew what he was thinking?
Standing there, Chen Heng silently looked at these two people.
Golden Heaven's Mandate appeared on their bodies. At this moment, there were already specks of flames burning on them, igniting their Heaven's Mandate.
This was the sign of the burning of the Heaven's Will.
If there were no accidents, these two people before him would soon escape from their current situation and start their own path of rise.
"Fine."
Looking at the Fortune around them, Chen Heng thought for a moment before making a decision.
Standing there, he smiled before turning around and leaving.
In the following days, Chen Heng continued to teach them all sorts of techniques.
As for the Heaven Devouring Scripture, he didn't mention it at all. It was as if nothing had happened.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
Until that day.
"Take a seat."
Early one morning, Chen Heng called Liu Li and Liu Li into his room and had them sit down.
"Master is leaving."
Looking at them, Chen Heng smiled and said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Li and Zhang Xuan immediately raised their heads.
"Master, where are you going?"
Liu Yi asked, looking at Chen Heng with a look of reluctance on her face.
"I'm going to a very far place, back to my hometown."
Chen Heng's expression was gentle as he said softly.
"Master's hometown?"
Liu Yi asked curiously, "What kind of place is that?"
"It's a very good place."
Chen Heng smiled, "There are very few conflicts there, and people don't have to worry about not having enough to eat. Everyone can study and practice martial arts …"
He said softly.
A look of longing appeared on the little girl's face, "Can you take us with you?"
"Master, I don't want to leave you."
She said somewhat reluctantly.
By the side, Liu Li did not say anything, but he also looked quite reluctant.
"Master doesn't want to leave you two either."
Chen Heng stretched out his hand and stroked Liu Yi's head.
The little girl's head was very soft, and her long black hair was very smooth and comfortable to the touch.
Chen Heng lightly stroked her head with a gentle expression.
Liu Yi did not resist and enjoyed being stroked by Chen Heng, and she gradually leaned against Chen Heng.
Perhaps it was because she had not had a good rest, but she soon fell asleep on Chen Heng's body.
Looking at this scene, Liu Li opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he suddenly paused.
An inexplicable sense of drowsiness appeared in his mind. At this moment, it enveloped his entire body, giving him the urge to disregard everything else and fall asleep.
This drowsiness was so intense and sudden that Liu Li immediately became wary.
"Master …"
An intense drowsiness appeared, and at the last moment, he barely opened his eyes and looked in front of him.
In front of him, Chen Heng sat on the bed, holding Liu Yi in his arms. His expression was calm as he silently looked at him.
Looking at Chen Heng's expression, Liu Li's lips were filled with bitterness.
At that moment, he thought back to what Yu Shan had said to him, and his heart was filled with bitterness and pain.
"In the end, it's still like this?"
He felt incredibly pained and wanted to say something.
However, an unstoppable drowsiness washed over him, making it so that he could not endure it at all.
He did his best to open his eyes, but he was unable to do so. As such, he could only silently close his eyes and fall asleep.
In front of his chest, a black pendant slowly gave off light, seeming to have some reaction.
"In the end, it still came to this."
Yu Shan hid within the black pendant, silently looking at the scene outside, and he could not help but coldly laugh.
He had already expected this scene and was prepared for it.
Cultivators, cultivators, were a group of selfish and cold people.
For a bit of spirit stones or spirit pills, many independent cultivators would fight to the death, and this was even more so for their lives.
Life and death were not small matters.
How many people would be heroes their entire lives, only to be humiliated in front of death?
No one was willing to die.
This was especially so for those old monsters who had lived for countless years.
From how Yu Shan saw it, Chen Heng's actions were not surprising at all.
It was just a normal thing to do.
If it was him, he would have done the same thing.
Hiding in the pendant, he secretly hid. At this moment, he was ready to strike, ready to find the right opportunity to strike and kill in one strike.
However, what surprised him was that after taking down Liu Li and Liu Yi, Chen Heng did not immediately act.
"Life and death …"
Sitting on the bed and lightly stroking Liu Yi's head, Chen Heng fell silent for a long time before lightly sighing.
Following this, he stretched out a hand and slowly placed it on Liu Li's shoulder.
Just as Yu Shan thought that Chen Heng was going to act against Liu Li, the scene that unfolded caused him to feel completely dumbfounded.
Pure blood essence flowed within Chen Heng's body, and in that moment, a blood-red color appeared.
This blood color was extremely bright and pure, as if it possessed some kind of unique power. If a mortal were to come into contact with even a tiny bit of it, they would become extraordinary, and their aptitude would become even more outstanding. They would undergo a metamorphosis on a fundamental level of life.
This was none other than the essence condensed from the bloodline origin.
This source essence flowed out of Chen Heng's body, and under his control, it slowly entered Liu Li and Liu Yi's bodies.
This scene caused Yu Shan to be dumbfounded.
"He … he …"
Looking at Chen Heng's actions, he was completely dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.
He naturally knew what Chen Heng was doing.
Chen Heng was currently using the Heaven Devouring Scripture.
It was just that this was not the same as when ordinary people used the Heaven Devouring Scripture. When Chen Heng used the Heaven Devouring Scripture, he did not devour other people's bloodline essence.
He was currently refining his own bloodline essence and using the Heaven Devouring Scripture to forcefully refine it before sending it into Liu Li and Liu Yi's bodies.
This was a True Lord's bloodline essence, and it was incredibly precious. In fact, it could be said that it was something that was incredibly difficult to find.
What was even rarer was that compared to using the Heaven Devouring Scripture to devour bloodline essence, Chen Heng was actively refining his own bloodline essence.
The influence of the origin obtained through this method would be minimized. In fact, it would not even affect one's mind, and one would not be affected by the bloodline origin.
However, the consequences of having one's bloodline essence extracted were incredibly shocking.
After this, no matter what, Chen Heng would die.
This was equivalent to a True Lord sacrificing himself to help someone else.
Even someone like Yu Shan, who was as cold as stone, could not help but feel moved.
"The Heaven Devouring Scripture is indeed worthy of being called the Heaven Devouring Scripture …"
Sitting on the bed and looking at Liu Li and Liu Yi, Chen Heng sighed as he said, "It's just that using this method to devour other people's bloodline essence is an evil path. Even if you can show off for a while, you will not be able to last long. Sooner or later, your mind will change and you will go mad.
"Since that's the case, why don't I help you?"
He smiled. Because his bloodline essence had been extracted, his face became paler and paler, "As a True Lord, I can use my essence to baptize you, Li 'Er, and change your talent.
You don't need to cultivate such a demonic technique. "
He opened his mouth softly and subconsciously muttered to himself.
"Just so you don't want him to cultivate the Heaven Devouring Scripture …"
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Yu Shan, who was hiding within the black pendant, could not help but feel moved.
In the past, he had seen many people, and there was no lack of powerful cultivators among them. They were all old monsters.
Most of those old monsters were like him; they would do anything to achieve their goals.
For people like that, it was impossible for them to give up their chances of survival for their descendants, even sacrificing themselves and using their essence energy to pave a path for their descendants.
Sacrificing oneself to help others might seem simple, but the determination contained within it was incomparably huge.
Without a heart that was willing to sacrifice oneself for others, an open mind that was not afraid of losing, and a calm and unperturbed heart, it was impossible to do so.
Just what kind of courage was this?
At that moment, Yu Shan deeply sighed and felt a bit ashamed.
Out of habit, he always thought of people in the dark, and he had never thought that he would meet someone like Chen Heng, who was willing to sacrifice himself to help his disciple.
"Cough … cough …"
In front of him, Chen Heng continuously coughed.
As time passed, Chen Heng could not help but cough.
As he lost his source energy, his expression became darker and darker, and his black hair became white. Faint wrinkles appeared on his face, and he looked much older.
The originally powerful magic power in his body also quickly dissipated. Soon, it went from being as powerful as an ocean to being dried up like a dried up river.
In contrast to his situation, Liu Li and Liu Yi's situation became better and better.
Specks of spiritual power enveloped everything, covering the bodies of these two people.
In just a short period of time, their cultivations had greatly increased, and they had instantly crossed a great distance.
Putting aside Liu Yi, Liu Li had already completed Foundation Building and had gone through a complete transformation.
From now on, he was a true cultivator, and he was different from a mortal.
"Looks like … this is the limit …"
An old and powerless voice sounded out in the room.
Chen Heng muttered to himself before struggling to get up and slowly walking out of the room.
After walking out of the room, he had to stop every few steps as if he was suffering from some sort of pain.
Outside, the warm sun rose up, shining on the ground and revealing Chen Heng's appearance.
Looking at the boundless light and feeling the warm sun, Chen Heng smiled and walked out.
He walked slowly. He found a small path at random and strolled along it.
Compared to before, his power was incredibly weak. His dense source energy had been refined, and all that was left was an empty shell.
He did not have much lifespan left, and he would die soon.
Chen Heng was not surprised by this and accepted it.
He slowly walked forward, slowly walked forward.
After walking for some time, his body started to go through changes.
At first, there were only a few marks on his body, but they gradually increased until they covered Chen Heng's entire body.
At this moment, he was like a porcelain doll that was full of cracks, broken into pieces.
A light breeze blew past.
Within the light breeze, Chen Heng's body froze before turning into dust and disappearing. There were no traces or corpses left behind.
Originally, only the remnants of his clothes were still there, proving his existence.
.....
Liu Li took a long time to wake up from his slumber.
During his slumber, he had a dream.
He could not remember the contents of the dream, but he felt that it was very comfortable.
A warm feeling enveloped his entire body, seemingly nourishing his body and making him stronger.
Only after he woke up did he realize that what he had been feeling earlier seemed to be real.
"You're awake."
Sensing that Liu Li had woken up, Yu Shan's faint voice sounded out in Liu Li's mind.
"Yes."
Liu Li nodded, and then he was stunned for a moment.
Right now, the feeling he gave off was different from before.
An incredibly powerful feeling appeared in his body.
His body contained terrifying power, and each and every one of his actions could explode out with power far greater than before.
It was as if he could shatter a boulder with a single punch.
This sort of powerful feeling was something he had never felt before.
As Liu Li examined himself, something that shocked him even more happened.
Within his body, a faint golden magical power was circulating and flowing, emitting an indescribable radiance.
This golden magic power was something that he did not have in the past.
In the past, because of his constitution, he had never been able to condense magic power and step onto the path of cultivation.
But now, although the golden Dharmic powers in his body were sparse, they did indeed exist. They just existed in his body, flowing and swimming in his body.
This sort of feeling caused him to feel completely dumbfounded.
After a while, he turned and looked at Liu Yi.
Compared to him, Liu Yi's body seemed to have changed as well. Her aura became more profound, and her cultivation became more terrifying.
Sensing this change, he muttered to himself in confusion, "Just … What happened?"
Right now, his memories were still stuck on when Chen Heng had suddenly attacked them and made them fall asleep.
Before, he had thought that Chen Heng was going to act against them and refine their source energy.
However, it seemed that this was not the case.
Just what was going on?
"Take a look for yourself and you'll know."
Yu Shan's voice sounded out in his mind, seeming to sigh.
A wave of information appeared in his mind, following which scenes appeared in his mind.
Yu Shan did not say anything to Liu Li and directly used his magic power to recreate the scenes from before and send them into Liu Li's mind.
As such, the scenes from before appeared again.
After Liu Li had fallen unconscious, everything that Chen Heng had done was clearly displayed in his mind.
He saw Chen Heng's hand touch their heads before refining their bloodline source energy and sending it into their bodies.
Liu Li was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
"Master!"
One scene after another appeared in his mind.
He could clearly see Chen Heng's changes. He had gone from being valiant and handsome to becoming incredibly old.
He could not help but choke up, not knowing what to say.
"You have a good master."
Yu Shan's voice once again sounded out in his mind, seeming to sigh.
