"Just who are you?!"
Within the vast space, the black-robed bishop's voice sounded out.
In front of him, the Dusk god artifact had long since stopped falling.
This was because a brand new power had already appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
Chen Heng continued to stand there, his expression calm as he looked ahead.
At this moment, his appearance seemed to have undergone some completely new changes.
An inexplicable indifference appeared in his eyes. Compared to before, he looked much colder at the moment. The human side of his body was rapidly fading away, replaced by complete divinity.
His eyes were filled with indifference, and all other emotions had disappeared, leaving behind only a trace of benevolence and a trace of gentleness, making him look quite unique.
He no longer looked like he did before. Instead, he looked like … a god who walked among the mortals.
In that moment, this thought flashed through the black-robed bishop's mind.
Following this, he shuddered, seeming to think of something, and a look of terror appeared on his face.
"You … could it be …"
As he looked at Chen Heng, his eyes were filled with terror. All of his emotions from before disappeared, and it was as if he had thought of something terrifying, causing his face to be filled with terror.
Ahead, the Dusk god artifact was still rumbling as if it had been infuriated. It quickly descended, trying to suppress Chen Heng.
However, at this moment, no matter how much the Dusk god artifact tried to revive, it was useless.
A slim, white arm stretched out and grabbed at it.
Following this, a horrifying scene unfolded.
As that arm stretched out, the Dusk god artifact stopped falling and was caught in that arm.
Using his own arm, he had caught a god artifact.
Boom!
A series of rumbling sounds rang out at this moment.
In Chen Heng's arm, the Dusk god artifact madly struggled, and its spirituality seemed to sense something. It madly surged, wanting to break free from Chen Heng's hand and leave this place.
In that moment, divine power surged out from all directions, and even the void seemed to be about to be destroyed. Even the laws in the surroundings rushed towards Chen Heng's body.
However, no matter how powerful it was, facing Chen Heng, it seemed to have lost everything. After entering his body, it was as if it had flowed into the void and no longer existed.
The occurrence of such a situation was horrifying.
"How is this possible …"
In the distance, under the pool of flames, Guromary looked quite shocked, "Even a god artifact can't hurt him?"
She could sense that Chen Heng was different.
Compared to before, Chen Heng's aura was simply too great.
Just then, Chen Heng's power had been extremely terrifying, and he could even compete with a god artifact. He was the most powerful person Guromary had ever seen.
But now, that terror seemed to have advanced a step and reached an even more powerful level.
He silently stood there, and his body seemed to be the same as before. However, there was a clear fundamental change, and he was even more powerful than a god artifact.
However, there was no doubt that this change would not appear out of thin air; there should be a reason behind it.
In that case, just where did the changes in Chen Heng's body come from?
At that moment, this question flashed in Guromary's mind, and her expression became more and more serious.
She suddenly found that the fog shrouding Chen Heng did not seem to be unraveling as time passed. Instead, it seemed to be growing thicker.
Just who was he? Why did he have such great power?
Was he a God's Child, or someone chosen by the gods?
In that instant, many thoughts flashed through Guromary's mind.
Everything in front of him would appear differently to different people.
However, to Chen Heng, it was somewhat different.
Right now, he was in an extremely special state.
At that crucial moment, he had realized that he was not a match for this Dusk god artifact.
As such, he did not struggle too much and directly took out his trump card, summoning his Holy Son Incarnation.
Back in the cursed world, he had left behind his Holy Son Incarnation and allowed it to take root in that world, gradually replacing the faith of the Holy Mother in that world.
By now, the Holy Son Incarnation's power had long since grown in that world, and it had reached an extremely powerful level.
Before returning, even though Chen Heng had returned most of his things from that world to his main body, he had left the Holy Son Incarnation behind and had not brought it back with him.
This was to serve as a trump card that he could use at critical moments.
Right now, it was evidently the right time.
The Holy Son Incarnation was, after all, a projection formed from a portion of Chen Heng's true spirit.
As such, under the control of Chen Heng's main body, the Holy Son Incarnation's power could also be used by Chen Heng.
This was the current situation.
In Chen Heng's eyes, golden divine power was continuously surging out from the cursed world, blessing his body.
This was divine power; it was the power condensed from the pious faith of the countless people in the cursed world towards the Holy Son Incarnation.
If it was just a little bit, it would not matter, but once it was gathered, it would be a terrifying power that could topple mountains and overturn seas.
Pure divine power was an incomparably precious existence in all churches.
Only when receiving divine grace would one receive some feedback and receive a baptism of pure divine power.
The massive divine power that the Holy Son Incarnation had far surpassed what many people could imagine.
Even though the cursed world was not very big, in that world, the Holy Son Incarnation was the only faith.
It was as if the entire world had been monopolized by the Holy Son Incarnation.
Under such circumstances, the divine power that the Holy Son Incarnation possessed had long since reached a terrifying level.
Right now, even if it went against the Dusk god artifact, it would not be a big deal.
Kacha …
In front of Chen Heng, a trembling sound could be heard.
Sensing this sound, Chen Heng silently lowered his head and looked at his arm.
In his hand, the golden Dusk god artifact continuously trembled, as if it was trying to break free from his arm and regain its freedom.
However, no matter how hard it tried, it could not break free from Chen Heng's hand.
This arm looked very ordinary, but in reality, it was like an unbreakable seal. There were no loopholes at all.
No matter how powerful one was, one would not be able to break free from this seal and leave this place.
Of course, this was just on the surface.
In actuality, boundless divine power was continuously gathering and suppressing the Dusk god artifact.
Crushing, this was pure crushing.
In terms of its essence, even the Holy Son Incarnation, which was formed from pure divinity and faith power, was not a match for the Dusk god artifact.
After all, the Dusk god artifact's essence was given by a god, and it far surpassed Chen Heng's.
However, so what?
The difference in quality was great, but it was not so in other aspects.
The Dusk god artifact's power was provided by the Dusk Church. Before, it had been provided by the nobles and slaves' blood sacrifices, and then by the Dusk God's sacrifices.
But no matter what, this power wasn't limitless.
The god artifact itself was indeed incredibly powerful, but the power used to activate the god artifact was not limitless.
However, the Holy Son Incarnation's divine power could be said to be boundless.
With an entire world's divine power at his disposal, no one was a match for Chen Heng in terms of exhaustion.
This was the case in reality.
Within his body, the two different divine powers continuously clashed.
Following this, the Dusk god artifact's power was devoured by the boundless divine power, and no matter how it struggled, it was to no avail.
In the end, as Chen Heng watched on, the golden god artifact gradually dimmed and lost its final luster, falling silent.
The god artifact had lost its final bit of power.
Looking at this scene, the black-robed Bishop was dumbfounded, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"Impossible … How is this possible …"
"This is the Dusk God artifact … how is this possible …"
He stood in place and muttered to himself in disbelief, as if he still wanted to say something.
However, Chen Heng had already raised his head.
A gaze fell on the black-robed Bishop's body, and it was as if a sharp knife had descended. It was incredibly sharp and could not be blocked.
With a rumble, the black-robed bishop's body froze for a moment before countless cracks began to appear on his body.
There wasn't even the slightest bit of obstruction before he died.
After the black-robed Bishop died, a connection between the golden Dusk god artifact and the Dusk god artifact was severed.
It was just that at that moment, a strange energy seemed to be descending in the distance, forming a connection with the Dusk god artifact in Chen Heng's hand.
In that moment, the Dusk god artifact in Chen Heng's hand shined with great light, and it once again gave off massive power. It even broke free from Chen Heng's hand and was about to rush into the sky and leave this place.
However, in the end, the golden Dusk god artifact was unable to break free from Chen Heng's grasp and was unable to break free.
As if sensing this, in the distance, that strange energy also took the initiative to sever its connection with the Dusk god artifact. It seemed that it was afraid that Chen Heng would take the initiative to find them.
This was indeed the case.
If they had been a bit slower and had not acted decisively enough, Chen Heng would have been able to follow that connection and find them.
It was a pity that they had acted too decisively, and even Chen Heng was a step too slow.
This was something that he could not do anything about.
After all, he still had to suppress the Dusk god artifact and prevent it from going berserk. As such, he could not immediately send people over, so he had reacted a bit too slowly.
However, this was not a big deal.
From the situation just then, it seemed that those people were also believers of the Dusk God Artifact.
Otherwise, they would not have been able to summon the Dusk god artifact and form a connection with it.
However, even so, what could they do?
Even with the Dusk god artifact, the black-robed Bishop had been defeated by Chen Heng.
After losing the Dusk god artifact, what did Chen Heng have to fear about these rats?
Standing there, Chen Heng's expression was cold as he turned and walked forwards.
This place used to be the Dusk Church's headquarters.
But at this moment, after losing the believers of the God of Dusk, this place became exceptionally quiet.
There was a bloody stench all around, and one could faintly sense the Undead roaming around here giving off unwilling howls.
This was a clear scene.
In the past, this place had dealt with countless people.
Countless people were subjected to inhumane torture in this place. They were subjected to all kinds of cruel methods to suffer in this place.
Even after these people died, the pain and resentment still lingered in this place, unable to dissipate.
As long as Chen Heng closed his eyes, he would be able to see all of this.
His mental energy and senses were incredibly powerful, so he could clearly sense the changes around him. He could sense the unique environment, as well as the wretched scenes around him.
"It really is hell on earth …"
Standing there, Chen Heng lightly sighed as he sighed.
In the past, he had never thought that there would be a place like this.
The sins that the Dusk Church had committed here were simply uncountable.
Of course, the reason they had done this was not because they were bored but because of the effects of the blood sacrifice.
Even though the goal of the blood sacrifice was important, the process of dealing with it was also important.
The pain and torment could stimulate the hidden power in one's bloodline to the greatest extent, allowing one's potential to blossom to the greatest extent.
After that, blood sacrifice was undoubtedly the best way to achieve the best results.
It was because of this that the Dusk Church had a habit of torturing people. Anyone who fell into their hands would be tortured by them without exception.
Chen Heng walked forwards and soon came before the Pool of Flames.
In front of him, the flames were still burning within the Pool of Flames. The flames were incredibly powerful, and if a mortal stood by it and sensed it for a while, they would feel a suffocating pressure.
This was the Dusk Church's Pool of Flames.
Even among the many churches, this was considered a very unique place.
"What a unique power …"
Standing in front of the pool of flames, Chen Heng sensed the power contained within and thought to himself.
There was a terrifying power hidden in the pool of flames in front of him.
Of course, this power was not much to Chen Heng.
What truly caught his attention was the strange and unique energy within the pool of flames.
It was the power of the Abyss.
On the other side of this world, there was a massive world called the Abyss.
The laws of that world were different from the laws of the World of Gods, and everything there was different.
There were many demons living within, and all sorts of unique powers were being nurtured within. It was extremely unique.
The so-called Abyssal Flames were one of them.
Within the Pool of Flames, there were many different powers mixed together, and the majority of them were Abyssal Flames.
Within the space in front of him, there were thick marks everywhere. There were Undead who had been tortured here, howling and leaving behind deep marks.
However, there were no such marks in this Pool of Flames.
Not only was there no marks, but it was also incredibly clean, to the point that it was terrifying.
This proved that anything that was thrown into the fire had already been completely destroyed.
Even if it was the resentment of the Undead, it would become fuel for the Abyssal Flames, making them burn even more vigorously.
This was how terrifying the Abyssal Flames were.
From the body to the soul to the source, everything would be burned away. There would be no accidents.
Just from the flames in front of him, he could tell what kind of place the Abyss was.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head and turned to look at another corner.
Within the Pool of Flames, Guromary was still standing.
On her body, the golden pendant was still there. At this moment, it was emitting a faint golden Divine Power radiance that completely enveloped her.
It was precisely because of the existence of this golden pendant that she was able to stand in it all this time without any problems until now.
Otherwise, based on how terrifying the Abyssal Flames were, even her soul would have been incinerated, leaving no trace behind.
Chen Heng casually waved his hand and a wave of divine power burst out, covering Guromary and pulling her up.
After pulling her up, Guromary heaved a sigh of relief. He loosened his grip, revealing the golden pendant inside.
To the two of them, the golden pendant had gone through great changes. The golden light within it had become much dimmer, and there were even a few cracks on it.
It seemed that if Chen Heng did not come over and pull Guromary out of the Pool of Flames, the golden pendant would most likely shatter.
"The power within it has almost been used up …"
Looking at the cracked golden pendant, Chen Heng shook his head and said softly, "That's right, it's not a big deal.
By now, he had exited the state of the Holy Son Incarnation, and he had regained his vitality. He was no longer like before, giving off a cold aura that made others not dare to approach him, and he seemed holy and inviolable.
At the very least, he looked much more normal, and he had the aura of a normal person.
"Thank goodness you came in time …"
Standing there and looking at Chen Heng, Guromary inwardly let out a sigh of relief and smiled as she spoke.
