Looking at the black pendant in his hand, Chen Heng thought for a moment before once again exerting more strength.
Even though he did not say it, Chen Heng's strength was incredibly great. Just using a bit of strength could easily twist steel and shatter jade.
However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.
He exerted force in his hand and tried to pinch the black gemstone, but he couldn't twist it at all, let alone shatter it.
No matter how much strength he used, he was unable to shatter it.
It seemed that it was incredibly sturdy.
"What material is this?"
Looking at the black gemstone pendant in his hand that did not seem to have changed at all, a look of surprise appeared on Chen Heng's face as he thought to himself.
In actuality, this material seemed to be a bit too strong.
Even though it seemed ordinary, in reality, the combination was astonishing and exceptionally powerful.
However, that made sense.
After all, this was something that could contain the power of laws, so it would not be so simple.
From what Chen Heng knew, something that could contain the power of laws would not be weak at all.
This was a top-notch material.
Looking at this pendant in his hand, Chen Heng could not help but feel a bit interested.
During the process of traveling between worlds, Chen Heng had many different identities.
One of them was that of a master blacksmith.
As a smithing master, materials were undoubtedly worthy of his attention.
After all, no matter how good a magic tool was, apart from the blacksmith's own skills, materials were also necessary.
If he did not have good materials, no matter how good Chen Heng's forging skills were, he would not be able to forge an excellent item.
From how Chen Heng saw it, the material of this pendant was quite outstanding and had extraordinary potential.
"If it's suitable, perhaps I can forge an excellent magic tool."
Standing there, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he thought to himself with interest.
It had to be said that this was a good idea.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Heng tried to do it.
He circulated his divine power and sent it into the black pendant, starting to deal with it.
Golden divine power flowed along Chen Heng's will, flowing out of the black pendant and slowly surging out.
Following this, a strange power covered it.
The black pendant in front of him began to change inexplicably.
This black pendant originally looked very old, as if it was an ordinary pendant with nothing special about it.
However, with the influx of divine power, the pendant began to change.
A faint trace of gold appeared on the pendant. At that moment, the black gem appeared and dyed the pendant's color.
This change was very mild at first, but as time slowly passed, it became more and more obvious.
In the end, the black gem completely changed from its original black to a golden color.
To a certain extent, this was a kind of sublimation.
Through the infusion of a large amount of divine power, this indescribable material would be purified, giving it the unique characteristics of divine power.
This was one of Chen Heng's ways of dealing with things.
After that, the pendant looked completely different.
Compared to the simple and unadorned pendant from before, this pendant now looked sparkling and translucent, exceptionally beautiful and pure. It was like the most beautiful gemstone, carrying with it a sacred and resplendent radiance.
The original black gem had completely changed into a golden gem.
Within it, a profound and powerful energy spread out, giving off a strange throbbing feeling. Anyone who sensed it could not help but feel shocked.
In actuality, after being infused with divine power, this pendant contained powerful divine power.
Normally, when it did not explode out, it would only look quite pretty.
However, once it exploded out, there would be a problem.
Once the divine power exploded out, it would give off terrifying power.
From what Chen Heng could see, it would be able to crush a 2-Ring Mage.
In addition, because it contained a large amount of gentle divinity, the pendant had become a holy item at the moment, and now it had an extraordinary effect.
If a mortal wore it for a long time, not only would it be able to nourish their body, but it could also get rid of negative statuses, recover their energy, and even improve their essence.
The effects were quite good.
Of course, this was only for mortals.
To Chen Heng, this thing was not very useful.
After all, he had enough divine power and could use it to nourish his body, making himself stronger.
In terms of improving his body, it would be even better than this pendant.
"It's a pity …"
Looking at the golden pendant in his hand, Chen Heng felt that it was a pity.
In the end, it was not because of his main body.
To Chen Heng, this golden pendant was only a half-finished product.
It still needed to go through a series of modifications before it could become a satisfactory product.
However, right now, he did not have this condition.
Under the effects of divine power, Chen Heng had recovered some of his strength, but it was far from his main body's level.
Apart from divine power, he had not recovered to his peak.
This was all he could do.
However, that was not a big deal.
Standing there, Chen Heng thought to himself before turning and silently walking out.
He continued to walk forward, and just like that, he walked out and came to the church outside.
At this moment, outside, Yang Cheng and the others had already left. There was no one around, and the place looked empty and clean.
Looking at this scene, Chen Heng said to the nun beside him before also turning and leaving.
In the outside world, on the other side.
In a deep and serene region.
Wisps of black mist filled the air, and a strange aura kept appearing and spreading out.
This was a cursed area. Figures hidden under the black fog appeared one after another. It looked exceptionally strange and terrifying.
In the past, no living person had ever come to this place, or rather, even if they came, they would stay behind and become a part of this place.
However, now that they were here, the situation seemed to be different.
A figure slowly approached, heading deeper into the depths.
Panting sounds could be heard continuously. Coupled with the strange atmosphere in the surroundings, there was an indescribable sense of horror.
"Call … Call …"
A young man wearing a military uniform was currently advancing.
At this moment, if one were to look through the surrounding fog, one would notice that the young man was already covered in wounds.
Wounds appeared all over his body. Some of the wounds looked especially sinister and terrifying, and there was dripping blood that spread outwards.
However, what was strange was that the blood that flowed out from his body did not give off a dense stench of blood but a refreshing fragrance.
This sort of situation was quite strange, and it could make one's scalp go numb.
"The exploration tribe, from No.2 to No.15, have all died in battle. Now, I'm the only one left …"
Within the black fog, the young man continued to advance as he muttered to himself, "My consciousness is hazy, and the cursed seed in my body is about to crumble …"
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of light bangs rang out in the surroundings. It was exceptionally abrupt.
The young man looked quite confused and instinctively looked down, and he saw a shocking scene.
In front of his chest, a blood-stained arm stretched out.
The blood-red arm was covered with black blood, and one could see white bones and scales, as well as some fine black hair.
Evidently, this was not an arm that a normal person should have.
The arm stretched out of the young man's stomach, looking incredibly terrifying as if there was something in the young man's stomach.
A horrifying scene was unfolding before their eyes.
However, the young man did not seem too surprised, and he looked quite indifferent as if he was already used to this.
If one looked closely, they would find that there were many small changes happening on the young man's face. There were many fine lines on his face, making him look quite savage and terrifying.
"The cursed seed has gone out of control …"
A light sound rang out, followed by a series of crisp sounds.
In that moment, the young man could no longer withstand the changes in his body, and his body powerlessly fell to the ground.
After he fell, the black instrument also fell to the ground. It fell heavily and made a crisp sound.
Everything ended here.
Following this, the young man's corpse was still wriggling.
Tiny, sinister-looking arms stretched out from his body and pulled his corpse apart.
Following this, a spider-like creature that looked quite similar to the young man crawled out and slowly fused into the darkness.
Everything ended here.
Within the entire scene, only the instrument continued to ring out.
"Number 1 has died …"
In the distance, within a certain base, after receiving the final message from the young man, Chen Rou deeply breathed in and said, "From Number 1 to Number 15, we've lost contact with all 15 Cursed Ones …"
"This time, the Cursed Land is even more dangerous than we thought …"
"What do we do now?"
At the side, a middle-aged man stood there. At this moment, his expression was a little ugly, and he didn't know what to say.
"No matter what, we have to find out more about the Cursed Land …"
Chen Rou deeply breathed in and said, "This time, it has been proven that even Cursed Ones cannot survive in the Cursed Land.
"We need to send out more elites …"
"You mean …"
Hearing this, a look of hesitation appeared on the middle-aged man's face before he asked, "Cursed item?"
"That's right."
Chen Rou nodded seriously and said, "Now, only Cursed item can help us find out more about the Cursed Land.
"There is still half a month before the alliance arrives. During this half a month, we have to stop the Cursed Land from expanding and do our best to find out more about it.
"Otherwise, in just half a month, tens of thousands of people would have died …"
Her expression was serious as she spoke.
"What do you want to do?"
The middle-aged man fell silent for a moment before asking.
"We need to gather all of the Cursed Ones in Changyuan and gather all of the Cursed item."
Standing there, Chen Rou thought for a moment before decisively saying, "This is especially so for Yang Cheng and Liang Xiao; we need to gather them as well."
Looking at the middle-aged man, Chen Rou once again explained, "They are not simple at all.
"Since three years ago, Yang Cheng and his companion have explored quite a few cursed lands. They have a lot of experience in this area."
"Furthermore, based on what I know, they are not unfamiliar with this cursed land."
"Most of the information I have was given to me by them."
"What do we do now?"
By the side, the middle-aged man's expression was quite grim and he did not know what to say.
"No matter what, we need to find out more about the Cursed Land …"
Chen Rou deeply breathed in and said, "This time, it has been proven that even Cursed Ones cannot survive in this Cursed Land.
We need to send out more elites … "
"Are you saying …"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked quite hesitant before asking, "Cursed item?"
"That's right."
Chen Rou nodded seriously as she said, "Now, only Cursed item can help us find out more about this Cursed Land.
"There is still half a month before the alliance arrives. During this half a month, we need to stop the Cursed Land from expanding and find out more about it.
"Otherwise, in just half a month, tens of thousands of people would have died …"
