Runes are not actually words, but a manifestation of a certain "power".

Because it cannot be described in words, people who observe it will express it in the words they know, and include the analysis of the patterns they understand.

This is Chen Chu's weakness.

Because he had practiced for too short a time, and had only been in contact with runes for more than half a month.

Although he had learned all the basic runes during this period and knew what kind of power each rune represented, this understanding was only superficial.

You can only know the fact but not the reason.

For example, a rune of "flame", he knew it represented fire and heat.

But why does this 'Yan' rune represent fire and heat?

If you want to condense this rune, which base point should you start from? What problems will arise during the formation process? What is the specific effect after condensation?

He doesn't know any of this.

Not to mention wanting to combine runes representing different abilities to achieve the desired results.

This is the high-level martial arts foundation that Chen Chu lacks.

Under normal circumstances, even for geniuses it would take several years to cultivate to the sixth level. It would take an ordinary genius several years or even ten years to break through to the seventh level from the sixth level.

Such a long time is enough for them to practice and learn about runes.

Therefore, after getting the Secret Book of the Divine Power Dragon Elephant for a few days, Chen Chu has only just finished reading the rune structure condensed by the seventh-level Zhenwu phantom, and analyzed the meaning of each paragraph by comparing it with the general outline.

In this case, it would take him at least more than a month to comprehend the contents of the seventh to ninth levels of the Secret Book of the Divine Power Dragon Elephant.

Not to mention creating your own secret book based on this.

But now, as the Thunder Flame Beast broke through level eight, the seven talents were manifested and condensed from nothing, and the essence of the "Rune" was almost explained to Chen Chu bit by bit.

At this moment, Chen Chu was absorbing this information frantically. His mind was working at a terrifying speed, and countless thoughts collided and exploded like sparks.

Many of the rune structures and principles that were incomprehensible in the past now seem to become clear to me.

It can be said that this kind of opportunity can never be replicated in history.

Because the behemoth has broken through to level eight, the process of the manifestation and condensation of its talent can only be perceived by the behemoth's mind, and other lives cannot "see" or "perceive" it at all.

The runes that humans use for reference and observation come from a portion of the rune marks engraved on the scales, bones, or crystal horns of the behemoth after killing it, and are incomplete.

When the other level eight behemoths broke through, most of them were asleep, and the few that remained awake could only look at this scene in a daze.

For mutant creatures, there is no concept of "knowledge" in their minds, let alone thinking, reference and comprehension.

Only Chen Chu would learn and comprehend while comparing it with the basic runes learned during this period, madly absorbing countless truths of heaven and earth to enrich himself.

Just as Chen Chu was wandering in the ocean of the essence of power and gaining mad insights, it was unknown how much time had passed before those innate runes gradually disappeared.

Golden flames burned and thunder leaped, covering the center of the two-hundred-meter area. The black and red giant beast, whose body length suddenly increased to sixty-five meters, slowly opened its eyes.

There was a hint of regret in those huge golden vertical pupils.

Because it hasn't seen enough.

Of course, one cannot be too greedy.

The harvest this time is already huge enough.

It would only take about a day, no, just half a day, for Chen Chu to be able to analyze the Secret Code of the Divine Power Dragon Elephant, because the core of both sides is the Divine Power Dragon Elephant rune.

With his mind turning, the Thunder Flame Beast withdrew its attention.

After the talent manifested, the fire and thunder that originally only existed in its body materialized and appeared in the outside world, forming the prototype of a domain with a range of two hundred meters.

Within the scope of the domain, the fire and thunder will not dissipate, but will form a normal existence, as if this illusory domain is an extension of its body.

In other words, this area covering a range of two hundred meters is actually the true form of the two innate runes, thunder and fire.

Therefore, the seemingly endless eruption of blazing flames and leaping thunder are actually projections of power. There is no high temperature at all and no effect on the surrounding sea water.

But as soon as the Thunder Flame Beast moves its mind, these flames will instantly erupt with terrifyingly high temperatures and burn everything.

No wonder when it was fighting with the level eight ancient giant crocodile, the gravity field surrounding it exploded instantly, because the field existed around it at all times.

In addition, within the domain, the Thunder Flame Beast has greater control over fire and thunder, for example...

The giant beast of thunder and fire lowered its head, and with a thought, endless golden flames surged and leaped around it, constantly gathering in its claws, and formed a golden fireball in the blink of an eye.

boom!

As the golden flame continued to compress, the terrifyingly high temperature burst out, the surrounding sea water exploded, and circles of purple-red shock waves were formed under the high-temperature eruption.

At this time, the fireball with a diameter of ten meters was still rotating, compressing, expanding and shrinking, emitting an even brighter light and terrifyingly high temperature.

Whoosh!!

Golden flames spewed out from the mouth and nose of the Thunder Flame Beast, and even its golden vertical pupils had flames jumping around. The powerful force of will continued to compress the golden fireball.

The energy of Jin Yan was continuously injected into its body, one percent, two percent...

When the Thunder Flame Beast poured 60% of the Golden Flame energy in its body into the fireball and compressed it to forty times with its powerful will and domain power, a sun appeared in its hand.

A golden light ball with a diameter of ten meters appeared in the claws of the thunder and flame beast as if it were real.

The terrifying high temperature that was radiated invisiblely reached hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius, evaporating and destroying everything.

Because the temperature was too high and the gathered energy was too terrifying, countless black spots appeared around the light ball, and the space seemed to be distorted.

As for the seawater within a range of more than ten meters, it had long been annihilated and disappeared, and because of the invisible heat and high pressure, it became an underwater vacuum with a diameter of thirty meters and no seawater.

Under the gathering of such terrifying fire power, the right claw of the Thunder Flame Beast turned red, and the scales on the fingertips showed signs of melting and even annihilation.

No, I can't control it.

Roar! With a low roar, the Thunder Flame Beast suddenly slapped down with one claw, blasting the golden sun in its claws into the ground beneath it.

Snap, snap! !

The ground beneath the feet of the Thunder Flame Beast continued to crack, with huge cracks spreading hundreds of meters in all directions, and dazzling golden light shining between the cracks.

Then the body of the thunder and fire beast suddenly rose up, the ground under its feet arched, and endless golden light burst out.

boom!

A light like a nuclear explosion rose slowly from the deep sea, and under the terrifying power of the explosion, circles of golden destructive shock waves swept across a kilometer area.

The ground collapsed wherever it passed, and the mud and rocks melted into magma in the blink of an eye under the scorching golden light.

The sea water was boiling, and countless white bubbles mixed with shock waves rushed into the sky. The sea surface a thousand meters above exploded, and the water splashed all over the sky and rushed directly to a height of hundreds of meters.

Under those circles of invisible shockwaves, all the common marine life within a radius of several kilometers were killed. For a moment, dense corpses of fish and shrimps sank and floated in the sea.

When the aftermath of the explosion subsided, a deep pit with a diameter of more than 300 meters appeared on the seabed, and the ground within a thousand-meter area was full of potholes as if it had been plowed.

Hundreds of meters away, the giant thunder and fire beast that was blown away by the explosion stood on the seabed, black smoke still coming out of its body, and some cracked scales were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a long while, the Thunder Flame Beast finally roared excitedly: "This move is so powerful."

This kind of breath can compress 60% of the golden flame energy in the body by dozens of times, and the power of the instantaneous explosion is more powerful than the continuous breath.

Even because of its overwhelming power, the destructive force of the instantaneous explosion was too much for even it itself to bear.

It's as terrifying as holding a nuclear bomb in his claws.

This is how strength should be used. Exhaling or burning the body surface is simply too lame.

Thinking of this, the excited Thunder Flame Beast moved his mind, and suddenly countless thunders gathered in its claws. Gradually, a spear hundreds of meters long appeared in its claws, emitting dazzling light.

Boom! As soon as the Thunder Spear appeared, it exploded due to unstable energy, forming countless lightning bolts that dissipated in the sea.

Looking at the lightning jumping around, the Thunder Flame Beast actually showed joy in its eyes, because it found that after its talent was "materialized", it would have more means of fighting in the future.

It can be compressed to form a 'fireball' or an energy weapon, which is convenient and flexible.

In addition, in order to strengthen the control of golden flame and thunder energy, it can also engrave basic runes with functions such as stabilization, force field constraint, etc. on the scales of its claws.

You can even study a set of superimposed rune formations and engrave them on your claws to form a powerful restraining magnetic field, compressing half of the Golden Flame's power in the body a hundred times in your claws.

When the time comes, one claw and one nuclear explosion, who can stop it?

In addition, it can also engrave some basic runes in its mouth. It does not require complex functions, only a single amplification is needed to increase the power of its breath.

And... Whew! No hurry, no hurry, let's take our time. The more the Thunder Flame Beast thought about it, the more excited he became.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, the Thunder Flame Beast focused its attention back on its body. After the breakthrough, its talents such as "strength" and "defense" also turned into tangible power.

In the perception of the Thunder Flame Beast, there is a special power flowing among its muscles, and with a thought it can gather and explode dozens or hundreds of times the "power".

In addition, the scales and bones on the body are integrated, and there is a "defensive" force flowing.

Including the originally imperceptible speed, regeneration, and toxins, they have all become "powers" that can be perceived and mobilized, and can be used with just a thought.

Similar to the legendary natal 'supernatural power'.

In this case, it actually doesn't need to create any secret book of the behemoth beast. It just needs to study some runes that amplify its innate power.

roar!

At this moment, a dragon's roar was heard in the distance, and then a giant silver dragon was seen swimming back with the tiger, Kun, and the dragon turtle in a majestic and vigorous manner.

Looking at the huge pit in the distance and the giant thunder and flame beast emitting terrible pressure beside the pit, the silver dragon showed surprise in his eyes and growled: "Ao Batian, have you made a breakthrough?"

"Roar! Well, it has broken through to level eight." The Thunder Flame Beast nodded slightly.

"Roar! Haha, this will make our Dragon Palace even stronger. By the way, I just led the big horns to overthrow the territory of an eighth-level extraordinary creature."

"That guy actually dared to refuse to join the Dragon Palace and refuse to be recruited by the great Ceciltia. He is simply courting death."

Oh, oh, oh! Yes, it's looking for death, kill it.

Roar! Kill, Baxia, I was also very brave just now, but unfortunately, that guy ran too fast and ran away.

The unicorn tiger Kun and the deep-sea dragon turtle also roared excitedly.

During this time, they followed the silver dragon and swept across a large area of ​​the sea, defeating four entrenched level eight beasts and more than a dozen level seven mutant creatures.

Unfortunately, the IQ of those creatures is too low and they have no idea about joining the Dragon Palace.

Some were killed after resisting, some ran away, and their corpses were eaten by the tiger, Kun and dragon turtle.

During this period, the Thunder Flame Beasts were dormant, and all the growth crystals produced in half a month were eaten by them. Although the effect was getting weaker and weaker, it still allowed them to grow to 60 meters, reaching the peak of level seven.

In this situation they need more energy, which is why the silver dragon takes them to fight continuously.

If there were two more level eight beasts with royal blood or dragon-like qualities in the Dragon Palace, its combat power would soar to a terrifying level. It would not be impossible for four level eight beasts to join forces to kill a level nine beast.

After all, its fighting power is stronger than Ao Batian's.

However, unlike the Thunder Flame Beast that began to transform upon reaching the peak of level seven, the Dragon Turtle and Tiger Kun seemed to have not yet touched that layer of barrier and had to wait a while.

Looking at the increasingly powerful black and red beast, the silver dragon excitedly growled, "Ao Batian, let's go patrol the sea together and conquer those extraordinary beasts."

"Roar! No hurry, I still have something to do, wait a moment." The Thunder Flame Beast shook his head.

It needs to test the previous assumptions, and the fighting will have to wait and see.

…

On the balcony, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes.

This time, the clone's breakthrough to level eight had a huge impact on him. His strongest strength attribute surged by two hundred points, reaching a terrifying level of two thousand.

At this time, his basic arm strength almost exceeded 60 tons, and his physical strength alone was enough to overturn a heavy tank.

Cars and the like are just like small toys and can be thrown hundreds of meters away.

Feeling his increasingly powerful body, Chen Chu sighed: "Mutated creatures are simply blessed by nature. If humans were not able to practice, this world would have been dominated by mutant creatures long ago."

The clone broke through level eight and almost completely mastered the seven talents, and the projection of power formed a field covering a range of two hundred meters.

Human practitioners who break through the eighth level to condense their combat bodies can only form a protective force field. If they want to condense their domain, they have to reach the ninth level.

The reason is that the alien beast is too large. In this case, the energy contained in its body is hundreds or even thousands of times that of humans. The rich energy directly stimulates the runes to form a domain projection.

This is one of the reasons why practitioners focus on true power after reaching the fourth level and eventually embark on the path of laws.

Although the human cultivator's body becomes stronger with each breakthrough, this strength is limited due to the limitation of body size.

As for Chen Chu, he is an exception.

The next morning, when Chen Chu just woke up, someone knocked on the door.

Xu Xiaoqi held two sets of clothes in her hands and said politely, "Mr. Chu, these are the clothes you wanted."

Chen Chu talked to Bai Yunfeng yesterday and asked her to help prepare matching bodyguard uniforms. After all, as Yan Ruoyi's "bodyguard", he had to be professional.

"Sorry for the trouble." Chen Chu took the clothes and returned to the room.

Soon, Chen Chu came out, dressed in a black suit, white shirt, and black leather shoes, looking like a bodyguard, with a pair of sci-fi style black sunglasses on his face.

Xu Xiaoqi, who was waiting outside the door, was stunned in an instant.

If Chen Chu looked handsome, calm and noble yesterday, he would look cool after changing into this outfit and wearing black sunglasses.

The black sunglasses make her face look even whiter and her facial features more three-dimensional and cool.

And that straight and tall figure standing there was like a solid wall, motionless as a mountain, exuding a strong sense of security and amazing charm.

Looking at Xu Xiaoqi who was standing there in a daze, Chen Chu said calmly, "Assistant Xu, is Brother Li up?"

Xu Xiaoqi came back to her senses, her face slightly reddened, and she quickly said: "...Mr. Li has already gotten up and is now having dinner in the restaurant. Ruoyi is also there."

Xu Xiaoqi had already returned to normal and said politely, "Mr. Chu, I'll take you there."

"It's troublesome."

Following Xu Xiaoqi, Chen Chu soon arrived at Yan Ruoyi's private restaurant, where Bai Yunfeng, Li Daoyi and Yan Ruoyi were having dinner.

Compared to Chen Chu, Li Daoyi was still dressed in Taoist robes. After all, he didn't need to protect Yan Ruoyi closely, so he could be more casual.

"Brother Chu, you look so cool." Looking at Chen Chu walking over, Li Daoyi felt a little envious.

Yan Ruoyi and Bai Yunfeng's eyes also lit up, but they were not very familiar with each other yet, so they just smiled and motioned for Chen Chu to sit down and have breakfast.

After Chen Chu sat down, Xu Xiaoqi took out a document: "Ruoyi has no plans to go out today. She needs to go to the studio on the tenth floor at nine in the morning to record two new songs, "Splendid as Flowers" and "Heart Butterfly."

"Then it's lunch time. After the lunch break at 2pm, there's an hour of flexible exercise. After 3:30pm, we'll rehearse the 'Dragon's Hometown Dance'..."

As a big star, Yan Ruoyi has a very tight schedule every day, and she also enjoys this fulfilling and busy life.

Because if she doesn't do these things now, she won't have time.

After the assistant finished reporting today's schedule, Bai Yunfeng looked at Chen Chu and the others and said, "You two, do you have any suggestions or arrangements for the future?"

Chen Chu shook his head slightly: "At present, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We can only wait and see. Miss Yan, you can continue to arrange your activities as usual."

"My perception is sharp, and I am responsible for protecting Miss Yan."

"Brother Li is very powerful and is responsible for killing any enemies that may appear. He is free to move around at any time, and he can arrive in an instant as long as the range is within one kilometer."

"Okay then. Xiaoyi's safety will be in your hands. I have to go and coordinate matters at the concert hall."

After breakfast and a short rest, Chen Chu followed Yan Ruoyi to the tenth floor.

This is where she usually records songs and practices. It is equipped with world-leading audio equipment, but Chen Chu doesn't know much about it and isn't interested in it.

Therefore, after watching Yan Ruoyi enter the recording studio, Chen Chu found a sofa in the corner of the studio and sat down. He took out the Secret Book of the Divine Power Dragon Elephant and began to comprehend it.

But to outsiders, he looked like he was reading a book.

As for why I say it is similar, it is because when the book is folded in half, it is blank and contains nothing.
