BXBX NOVEL Chapter 363 - Transformation
After Chen Heng buried himself, violent changes began to occur within his body.
The law energy he had accumulated began to flow throughout his body, washigna nd cleansing it.
Within the core of his body, his two Divinities gave off large amounts of light.
Even though the Light Divinity was strengthened, it did not go through massive changes.
However, there were great changes to the Slaughtering Divinity.
Compared to before, even though their size did not change much, they began much more complex and powerful.
Before, Chen Heng had only slashed off an arm of the Origin Curse, and yet he had obtained massive gains.
In the previous battle, Chen Heng had directly killed the Origin Curse.
After killing it, Chen Heng had plundered all of its law energy, gathering it into his body.
That large amount of law energy had immediately caused Chen Heng’s body to transform, causing massive changes in his body.
Right now, Chen Heng could clearly sense the Slaughtering Divinity in his body.
He expected that after this transformation was complete, his Slaughtering Divinity would gain new abilities.
Apart from his Divinities, his body also went through changes.
Even though it still looked like an ordinary body, he was another step closer to condensing a law body.
Even though Chen Heng could sense it was not complete, it had greatly progressed.
After this transformation completed, he would be able to finish condensing a law body.
Of course, such a massive change required massive amounts of energy.
As such, Chen Heng was prepared for this transformation to take a long time.
After all, from how things seemed, if he wanted to complete this transformation, it would require an astronomical amount of divine energy.
Such a massive amount of divine energy could only come from the faith energy from his followers.
As for how long this would all take, Chen Heng had no idea.
However, it was fine—with his lifespan, no matter how long it took, he would be fine.
After condensing a law body, even though he still had a lifespan, it had become much longer.
Despite this, he still hoped that the transformation did not take too long—he did not want everyone he knew to be gone by the time he woke up.
Chen Heng had experienced this in the past, but he did not want to go through it again.
Lying there, he thought to himself before slowly closing his eyes.
As he closed his eyes, his consciousness fell dormant.
………….
Unless his transformation failed or someone woke him up, he would not wake up until his transformation was complete.
….
Time gradually passed.
After Chen Heng fell asleep, this region that he was in returned to normal.
It was quite a desolate region, and there was no civilization in the surroundings.
Many years later, some figures appeared here.
During the early morning, the sunlight shone on the ground.
On a hill, some people got off a truck and came over.
“Is it here?” After getting off the truck, a tall, middle-aged man walked over. He wore scholars robes and glasses, and looked like a rsearcher.
“From the information we received, it should be here.”
Another person picked up a map and nodded, “An ancient tomb was washed out by the flow of water.”
“If we don’t quickly salvage it, it might be destroyed. Let’s hurry.” The middle-aged man nodded as he said, “Have the workers all arrived?”
“Yes, they arrived a while ago; they are al residents here.” Someone else responded, “They began to work three days ago, and it’s said that they have already dug up some things.’
“Oh?” Hearing this, the middle-aged man seemed quite interested. He turned and looked at the people to the side, “Take me over to have a look.”
Following this, they came to a certain region.
There, some workers were already diligently working.
By the side, the things they had dug up were put in a scattered pile.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man and the others hurriedly went over, wanting to appraise them and find things with value.
“These things are most likely from 1,000 years or so ago, and are rare antiques.”
After doing some appraising, the middle-aged man looked quite excited as he said, “And they’re all quite valuable.
“It seems that the owner of this tomb was most likely a noble, which was why he had so many things with him in his tomb.”
Standing by the side, the others nodded in agreement.
Not too far away, a shout suddenly sounded out.
Someone ran over, panting raggedly.
“What’s going on?” Looking at that person, the middle-aged man felt a bit surprised as he asked.
“They dug up something,” The person replied, “It’s a coffin, but we don’t know if it belongs to the owner of the tomb or not.”
“A coffin?” The middle-aged man felt quite interested, “Bring me over.”
That person nodded and led them to the coffin.
The coffin was made of stone and looked quite simple and firm.
It was just that using stone to make a coffin was much more difficult than using wood.
Looking at this coffin, everyone thought of the same thing.
After doing some examinations, they found that some things were off.
“This location is quite far from the main tomb’s location; it most likely is not the owner of the tomb.”
“Could it be a servant or someone like that?” Someone asked before shaking his head, “No… even a servant’s coffin should be closer, and what kind of servant has a stone coffin…”
After checking the stone coffin’s location, everyone frowned.
There were not any items around the stone coffin; it was even possible that this stone coffin was not related to the nearby tomb at all.
“Hm…” Looking at the stone coffin, the middle-aged man raised a possibility, “Do you think this might be a special kind of funerary object?
“Maybe there is not a corpse inside, but some valuable things?”
In the past, there had been such situations.
It was just that it was the first time they had seen a stone coffin.
“It’s not like that is impossible.” Someone else nodded, “Regardless, we’ll know after we go back and open up this stone coffin.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Indeed, no matter what the stone coffin contained, they would know after opening it up.
As such, they put aside this matter and began to examine the other funerary items.
Only after a few days did they return to their base and begin to examine all of the items.
“Let’s open the stone coffin,” The middle-aged man said.
Hearing this, the others nodded and prepared to act.
They used specialised equipment and began to try to opent he coffin.
What surprised them was that even though the coffin looked very simple, it was incredibly difficult to open.
“This…” Looking at the stone coffin, everyone present were quite perplexed, “This doesn’t seem like a man-made coffin, but a coffin made out of a complete stone…”
This stone coffin did not have any gaps, and no matter what they tried, they could not open it.
Just how was this possible?
They tried many things, and in the end, they were able to open up a hole in the coffin and gradually open it.
The stone coffin was opened, revealing what was within.
Seeing the contents, everyone was stunned—it was the corpse of a boy.
The boy looked terrifyingly handsome, and seemed like a son of god.
His clothes were perfectly preserved, and lying in the coffin, he looked like he was just sleeping.
“This… what is this…”
Looking at the boy, everyone felt stunned, not knowing what to say.
A boy was within the coffin, and what’s more, his body had not rotted at all.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they could tell that he was not breathing and did not have a pulse, they would think that he was just sleeping.
“Could it be… a Curse Bearer?”
In that moment, the middle-aged man thought of something.
If it was a Curse Bearer, perhaps something like this could happen.
As an archaeologist, he had encountered similar situations in the back, and he knew about Curse Bearers.
For one’s corpse to not rot after dying and remain the same, this seemed impossible.
However, this was quite normal among Curse Bearers—after all, they were different to normal people.
Curse Bearers’ bodies contained curse energy, so it was not surprising that their bodies did not rot.
Thinking to there, the middle-aged man believed that he had arrived at the correct confusion.
However, if he really was a Curse Bearer, then things would be quite troublesome.
Those who understood Curse Bearers understood how terrifying these things were.
Even Curse Bearers’ corpses contained terrifying power, and if it exploded out, it could kill everyone in the surroundings.
That was quite a terrifying outcome.
Thinking to there, the middle-aged man could not help but feel quite fearful.
“Seal the coffin and put it in the innermost region,” He said, “No one is to open it.”
No one had any objections and nodded.
Following this, everyone began to leave.
However, within the coffin, some changes began to happen.
Faint golden light shone out, but because the coffin was sealed, none of it leaked out.
The faint light shone for a while before disappearing.
In the distance, in a certain church, a pair of golden eyes slowly opened and suddenly looked in a certain direction with a sharp gaze.
“Finally… awakened…”
The statue looked quite ancient, and was in the image of the legendary Holy Mother.
When the coffin had been excavated, the slumbering Holy Son clone had been awakened.
However, he only looked over for a moment and did not do anything.
Right now, Chen Heng was still in the process of his transformation, and had not woken up.
Since that was the case, it was fine to maintain things as they were.
Thinking to there, the Holy Son clone closed its eyes and once again became dormant.
Time gradually passed.
After that day, nothing happened, and the stone coffin seemed to have been forgotten.
Another half a year passed.
Within a silent and sparse museum, a figure silently moved.
That figure moved very quickly, and seemed very nimble.
If one looked closely using the faint light, they would be able to tell that it was a girl.
She darted about in the museum, as if she was avoiding something.
“It’s coming…”
Sounds continuously sounded out, and hearing those sounds, the girl looked terrified.
She continuously looked over her shoulder as she headed forwards.
However, no matter how she ran, she could not shake off the existence behind her.
“What do I do, what do I do…”
Sensing this, she felt terrified and did not know what to do.
Over the past few days, she had been continuously chased down.
Before, many people had already fallen.
In order to avoid the curse and not have it hurt her family and friends, she had continuously run.
However, it seemed that even despite coming here, she could not avoid that existence.
Hearing the footsteps behind her coming closer and closer, she gritted her teeth and did her best to rush forwards.
She did not dare to look back, afraid that she would see the mangled face.
It was just that as she headed forwards, in the end, she reached a dead end..
