There were many unique things in this world.
Harpies were just one of them.
As bloodline creatures, they were not very powerful. If it was just one of them, even an adult male would be able to deal with them.
They were very easy to deal with.
However, it was a pity that these creatures lived in groups. They would usually appear in a group and would never appear alone.
Moreover, these creatures had a very unique characteristic.
They were all female.
This was the same for this one.
Chen Heng casually looked around.
In front of him, this Harpy did not look very old. It had not been long since she became an adult, and she looked very young.
The aura of life emanating from its body was also very strong. Among the group of harpies, it should be considered pretty good.
"Not bad."
Looking at the Harpy, Chen Heng nodded and slowly walked forwards.
As if sensing his approach, the Eagle Demon in the cage slowly raised her head, her sharp eyes looking at Chen Heng.
Her gaze was filled with savagery and bloodlust, and seeing Chen Heng come closer, her body tensed up as if she was gathering power.
Chen Heng could sense this, but he did not pay it much mind.
A massive eagle claw slashed down, but it did not touch anything.
With a cracking sound, the Eagle Demon's head was twisted off by Chen Heng.
"Still quite fresh …"
After snapping the Harpy's neck, Chen Heng opened the cage and dragged out the Harpy's corpse.
In front of him was a spacious laboratory. Next to the cage was a laboratory with many instruments on it.
These were all things that Chen Heng had specially collected. Many of them had been collected in the Hunter's House, and they had been used until now.
In this entire continent, it was impossible to find a laboratory that was more complete than this.
After putting the Harpy's corpse on the laboratory, Chen Heng started to work.
He picked up his knife and started to dissect the corpse.
He was quite familiar with this process, and it could even make one's hairs stand on end.
Soon, the Harpy's corpse was dissected, and Chen Heng cut out most of the parts that he did not need.
What Chen Heng had obtained were these things in front of him.
A bottle of crimson liquid was placed in front of him. It was extremely beautiful at first glance. The color of the blood flowing within was extremely bright. It seemed to contain a unique power, causing people to be involuntarily attracted to it.
This was the bloodline source contained within the harpy's body. It had been extracted by him in a unique way and turned into this little bottle in front of him.
Over the past two years, apart from his own Meditation and experiments, he had not stopped researching the Heaven Devouring Scripture.
During this period of time, he had used his wealth and connections to continuously buy different bloodline creatures to devour.
If it was an ordinary person, even though he could easily find them, the effects would not be very good.
The Heaven Devouring Scripture's essence was to devour external bloodline essence to increase one's own life essence.
On the other hand, ordinary people's bloodlines were not special, and their state of existence was not very high. Although it could not be said that there was no effect, it was not much either.
Moreover, even though he could act when necessary, Chen Heng was still a human.
It would be fine if he had no other choice, but since he had a better choice, he naturally did not like to act against his own kind.
Even though that was not a problem, he would not like to act against his own kind.
As such, he had his eyes on those bloodline creatures.
Within the Sorcerer World, apart from humans, there were many Outlanders.
For example, Elves, Crypt Dwellers, and such were all Outlanders.
Apart from these Outlanders, there were also some bloodline creatures that had inherited the bloodlines of powerful races and had great power.
Such existences were the best for using the Heaven Devouring Scripture to devour.
Not only did it make him feel much better, but it was also much more effective than ordinary people.
Of course, even for Outlanders, if they directly ate corpses or living creatures, it would still be quite disgusting.
As such, long ago, before Chen Heng devoured bloodline creatures, he would directly extract the bloodline essence he needed and use it.
This was convenient, and it also saved on materials.
Many parts of bloodline creatures were precious materials.
If he directly used the Heaven Devouring Scripture, the corpse would become a dried-up corpse, and most of the materials would be wasted.
This was a serious waste.
After going through the extraction process, not only could he directly extract the bloodline essence, but he could also use some of the excess materials.
Why not?
After refining the Harpy's bloodline, Chen Heng went to a room by himself.
In his hand, the crimson essence of bloodline flowed within the vial. It was extremely vibrant and beautiful, and one couldn't help but stare at it.
"It's a pity that there are still too many impurities …"
Looking at this bottle of crimson blood, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head.
The bottle of Bloodline Origin in front of him had already been refined to a very high degree, and the Harpy bloodline within it could be considered very pure.
However, if he wanted to further refine it, he would not be able to do so.
"According to the records, the Harpy's ancestor was a Half Harpy. As long as she matured, her strength would not be inferior to that of a true Sorcerer …"
Looking at this bottle of crimson blood, Chen Heng thought to himself, "It's a pity that as a descendant of a Half Harpy, her strength is not even comparable to that of an ordinary person."
Harpies were a type of bloodline creature.
The most notable thing about bloodline creatures was that after maturing, they would automatically have the corresponding strength.
This was the case for Half Harpies. As long as they matured, they would automatically be comparable to a true Sorcerer and obtain great power.
It was just that as a descendant of a Half Harpy, she had fallen so much that she was not even a match for an ordinary person.
"However, this might not be a regression; it might be caused by a change in the environment …"
Various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind, "The so-called high magic region and low magic region …"
For Sorcerers, the changes in the environment were incredibly important.
The so-called environment could be roughly divided into high-magic region, low-magic region, and finally, magic-free region.
The value of these regions was determined by how active the elemental particles were.
If there were enough elemental particles in a region and they were sufficiently active, it would be a high-magic region; otherwise, it would be a low-magic region.
If there were no elemental particles in a region, it would be a completely Magic-free region.
Changes in the environment would cause many things to change.
For Sorcerers, in high-magic regions, the effects of Meditation would increase, and the production of materials and magic plants would become easier.
In low-magic regions, not only would the effects of Meditation be reduced, but some magic plants with strict environmental requirements would also not be able to be produced.
This sounded quite similar to the Azure Heaven Realm's spirit qi.
In areas with strong Spiritual Qi, cultivators would be able to cultivate much more smoothly. However, in some areas where Spiritual Qi was cut off, cultivators would not be able to reach a certain level. Even setting foot on the road of cultivation would be a big problem.
From how Chen Heng saw it, the Harpy's bloodline would most likely be affected as well.
His experience from his previous life told him that the environment would greatly affect lifeforms, and it would also select lifeforms that were suited to the environment.
The more powerful a lifeform was, the greater their requirements for the environment would be.
Half-demon Harpies were a race that could only grow in high-magic environments.
In low-magic environments, they would not be able to fully adapt, and their reproductive abilities would be weak. As such, their power would gradually decline, and they would become weak but able to adapt to low-magic environments.
From this perspective, it made sense.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head before turning and silently starting to do what he wanted.
As he started to circulate the Heaven Devouring Scripture, the crimson blood in his hand gradually decreased, turning into pure energy and fusing into his body.
A trace of warmth rose up from Chen Heng's body and gradually spread out.
Gradually, the scene in front of Chen Heng's eyes changed.
The scene in the outside world gradually changed.
In a trance, he seemed to have transformed into a harpy and began to experience a different life with this identity.
In the den, he had been born from his mother's body and had gradually grown until he had been captured and sold to him.
These experiences, all sorts of memories, and all sorts of emotions were incomparably clear and intense.
If it was someone who did not have a resolute will and was washed away by these memories, they would most likely not be able to hold on and would be affected by the Harpy's remnant memories, causing their personality to greatly change.
At that moment, the benefits of having powerful mental energy became evident.
Chen Heng shook his head and instinctively took a few steps back before returning to normal.
"This feeling … is quite intoxicating …"
Standing on the spot, he could not help but shake his head as he sensed that feeling.
When the Heaven Devouring Scripture devoured bloodlines, it would also receive a portion of the other party's memories and bloodline information.
This process was incredibly dangerous.
If one's will was not strong enough and their mental energy was not strong enough, it would be easy for their memories to be washed away, and they would be influenced by the devoured person.
This was also the reason why people who frequently used the Heaven Devouring Scripture would experience a huge change in their mental state and eventually become deranged.
Not only did the source blood of others contain their minds, but it also contained large amounts of memories and information.
To others, these things might be the most precious things to them, but to others, they were impurities.
If there were too many of these impurities, it would be easy for one's mind and memories to change, and one might even mistake themselves for someone else.
During this period of time, Chen Heng had experienced the effects of this.
Fortunately, his will was strong enough and his mental energy was strong enough. Adding on the Moon God Power, he was able to slowly wash away the impurities in his mind, so there were not many problems.
Of course, the most important thing was that he had restrained himself and did not forcefully devour too much.
Normally, after devouring once, he would not devour again until he had dealt with the aftereffects of the first devouring.
Over the past two years, he had only used the Heaven Devouring Scripture eight times, which was quite cautious.
"Looks like I can rest for a few more months."
After completing this Devouring, Chen Heng rubbed his head and silently sat down on a chair.
The memory of the Harpy was still lingering in his mind, forcing many inexplicable impulses to surface in his heart.
For example, he would always want to catch fish and eat raw meat.
These were all effects.
In the Harpy's memories, there were many bloody scenes.
Eating people raw, having sex with all sorts of strange creatures …
If one's will was not resolute enough, they might not be able to endure such horrifying scenes.
Even someone like Chen Heng needed to take a break.
He sat on the wooden chair and closed his eyes to rest.
As he closed his eyes to rest, he sensed the changes in his body.
"My life energy seems to have become much stronger, and my lifeforce has become more and more powerful …"
Many thoughts flashed in his mind, "It's just that my body structure seems to have changed, and it's becoming more and more different from a normal human …"
The effects of devouring other bloodlines were not just on the mind.
The effects on the body were even greater.
This was normal.
After all, the mind came from the body, and for ordinary people, apart from a small portion, most of what they knew and felt came from the body.
Food, lust, joy, anger, sorrow …
All of these emotions were closely related to the body.
Before reaching a certain level, the importance of the body was self-evident.
Every time Chen Heng devoured other people's bloodlines, he could sense the changes in his body.
Devouring ordinary people's bloodlines was not too bad, and there were only some slight changes to his body, making some parts of his body stronger.
It was just that devouring other creatures' bloodlines would cause his body to go through changes, causing his organs to change.
Even though Chen Heng looked like a normal person on the surface, if he was dissected, he would find that he was different from ordinary people in many aspects. His organs were much more complicated than ordinary people's.
However, this was not too strange.
In actuality, it was not just Chen Heng; all Sorcerers were like this.
The improvement of a Sorcerer's life essence was essentially an improvement.
However, the improvement of one's life essence did not come out of nowhere; it would cause one's body to change, making weak areas stronger and making one's body structure more perfect.
In the end, the strengthening of one's body would not happen for no reason. When Sorcerers became stronger, they would also improve their body structure.
The more powerful a Sorcerer was, the further away they were from ordinary people.
According to Chen Heng's estimations, if he was a true Sorcerer, his body structure would most likely be very different from ordinary people, and he could even be considered a completely different species.
Perhaps this was why it was so difficult for true Sorcerers to have children, as well as why Sorcerers did not treat ordinary people as their own.
Even their body structures were different, and you want me to treat you as my own?
Of course, Knights had similar problems.
Over the years, Chen Heng had obtained a few corpses of Knights.
Knights who had awakened their Life Seeds had physiological structures that were different from ordinary people, and there were many differences between them.
However, the difference was not too great, and it did not affect their reproduction.
As such, even though it was difficult for Knights to have children with ordinary people, it was not as exaggerated as it was for Sorcerers.
No matter what system it was, the further they went, the greater the difference between them and ordinary people.
This was most likely not just for Sorcerers and Knights in the Sorcerer World; it was the same for cultivators in the Azure Heaven Realm.
Sitting on the wooden chair, Chen Heng thought to himself before feeling a bit of pity, "It's a pity that there are no corpses of cultivators.
Otherwise, I would be able to compare the differences between Sorcerers and cultivators. "
As he thought to himself, he could not help but feel that it was a pity.
