The once majestic Daitenkei Shrine was reduced to ruins, with the ground broken and the buildings burning.

In a large pit with a diameter of more than ten meters, golden flames were burning on Chen Chu's body. His expression was grim, and his divine power was spreading. Circles of white air waves were rolling around him, with a terrifying momentum.

It was as if the person standing there was not a person, but a mighty beast.

Under the pressure of the terrifying aura, Sakurako Baichuan, who was far away, was holding the samurai sword and her hands were trembling slightly, with a look of shock.

Although the information said that this man named Chu Batian was from the Dongxia military, he was very talented and had reached the initial stage of the sixth level of cultivation at a young age.

But this is the early stage of the Sixth Heaven?

That extremely powerful and domineering force was enough to kill Shan Shu Long You, who was also in the late sixth level, with just one punch, even though the opponent had turned into a so-called ghost or god state.

As expected, it’s the Dongxia Empire, so powerful!

Just two geniuses who are less than 20 years old possess such terrifying combat power.

While Baichuan Yingzi was shocked, Yan Ruoyi, who was protected by her behind her, looked calm.

At this time, across the pit, Li Daoyi said with some annoyance: "Brother Chu, can you leave a monster for me next time? I haven't even opened yet."

The flames on Chen Chu's body slowly died down, and his divine aura subsided: "I can't help it. It wants to catch Miss Yan and break through the encirclement. In this case, I can only punch it to death."

In fact, it is normal for Yamaki Ryusuke to make this choice.

His identity, which had been hidden for many years, was exposed. When he was about to kill the witness, he discovered that Li Daoyi, who was in the middle stage of the sixth level and in charge of thunder, was extremely powerful and suppressed him with a casual blow.

In this situation, the best option to survive is naturally to capture Yan Ruoyi as a hostage.

After all, the Baichuan Yingzi in front of her was only a cultivator in the late fourth level, and the Chen Chu who blew up her son with one punch was only in the early sixth level.

Although this person was very powerful and killed his son who was in the early fifth level with one punch, there should be a limit to how powerful this genius is.

At least in Shanshu Longyou's understanding, he has never met anyone who can leapfrog to a higher realm in combat power after the sixth level. Anyone who can leapfrog to a smaller realm is already a genius.

But unexpectedly, this time he kicked two super alloy steel plates.

Looking at the body of Shanshu Longyou that was shattered by the force at the bottom of the pit, Li Daoyi thought: "Looking at his appearance after transformation, he should have merged the genes of the Talos War Demon Clan from the Purgatory Clan."

"It's just strange, where did they get the blood and genes of the Talos War Demons?"

At this time, Baichuan Yingzi came over and asked in confusion: "This is indeed a bit strange."

"Although this family is a cultivation family according to the information and has several cultivators in the family, they do not have permission to enter and exit the mythical world, nor do they have a company."

"Over the years, the Shanshu family has been living in seclusion most of the time, and only shows up occasionally when invited to banquets held by the political and business circles of Dongdu."

"The problem should be inside the statue. We'll know if we smash it open and take a look." Chen Chu said as golden light flowed in his hand and he waved it casually.

boom!

In an instant, a three-meter-long golden blade energy that looked like a half-moon roared out, spanning more than thirty meters and landing in the half-collapsed temple, slashing at the broken statue of the great ghost god.

Bang!

Under the domineering sword energy containing explosive properties, the five-meter-tall statue suddenly shattered and exploded, as if it was hit head-on by a rocket.

After a practitioner reaches the fourth level, the sword energy and sword light can be released, but the power will be qualitatively improved after the fifth level. The power of fire energy released at the sixth level is even more overbearing.

However, Chen Chu seldom uses this kind of true energy attack, because it is easy for the enemy to dodge, and it is not as powerful as the Eight Desolate War Halberd in close range.

After all, his greatest advantage has always been his strong physical strength.

At this moment, a huge withered arm flew out from the violent air wave filled with rubble and smashed to the ground. In an instant, a meteorite crater with a diameter of five meters was formed on the ground.

The arm was more than two meters long and covered with black scales. The palm was sharp like a ghost's claw, with wisps of black aura wrapped around it, emitting a terrifying pressure.

The pressure was so terrifying that even Chen Chu's face changed: "What a strong aura, the eighth heaven, no, this is a ninth heaven purgatory demon's arm."

Li Daoyi also nodded seriously: "It should be the arm of a ninth-level demon. Even though it has been broken for decades, its aura is still there, and it is surrounded by demonic power."

“No wonder when I came up here, I felt that the energy of heaven and earth here was more active than the surrounding area, and the concentration was higher than other places.”

"At first I thought it was because of the surrounding trees, but now it seems that there should have been a crack here, and this demon arm should have appeared at that time."

"This should be the source of the Shanshu clan's demon blood and genes, from the remains of a demon's arm."

Of course, these are all Li Daoyi's speculations. The Special Service Department will naturally be responsible for investigating the matter of tracing the source and following the clues.

However, Chen Chu felt that it was almost correct and was very consistent with the behavioral habits of this family over the years.

For example, when he picked up the remains of a demon's arm decades ago, he chose to hide it secretly, and out of greed for power, he conducted private research, refining the blood and integrating it into his body to change his blood constitution.

You have to know that decades ago, the existence of the Ninth Heaven level was already the strongest. At that time, there was no king, so it was normal for the Shanshu family to have such a choice.

But they didn't expect that the times would develop so quickly, and that king-level powerhouses of the human race would continue to emerge like mushrooms after rain.

Soon even the Ninth Heaven was no longer rare.

In this situation, Shanshu Longyou, who had already integrated the blood of the demons to change his physique, felt a little embarrassed. In the end, he could only choose to endure and practice slowly to develop his family again.

As for why it is developing again, it is naturally because the others died after being fused with the blood genes of the demons.

After all, that is the blood of the demons from the Ninth Heaven. To integrate it with it is no less difficult than integrating it with the essence of a giant beast. Ordinary people will only die if they rashly inhale it into their bodies.

This family is actually very calm and secretive, and they remain indifferent even when facing Yan Ruoyi.

After all, killing Yan Ruoyi would not benefit them at all. Instead, it would expose their identities. Even the Demon God Cult didn't know that there was a descendant of the "demon clan" here.

Unfortunately, they met Chen Chu.

If he had known in advance that he would be so unlucky, Shan Shuyufeng would definitely not have accepted Jin Zihua's invitation to meet such an important person.

The battle was over, and the next thing to do was to search the corpses. However... the Yamashu family was too poor. They had been living in the shrine for decades and did not even have any storage equipment.

Since he had made no contribution to the Federation, even if he had collected some contribution points on the black market, he was not eligible to redeem them, let alone resources.

Fortunately, that demon arm should be able to be sold for a lot of money, probably no less than one thousand contribution points. After all, it is the remains of the Ninth Heaven Demon.

It has great research and utilization value for human beings.

For example, among the dozen or so satellite bases that fell into the Yunwu Mountains, there was one that contained the remains of a high-level demon corpse, which was able to stimulate the demonic energy to sweep across the mountains and ensure that there were no enemies hiding.

This kind of equipment is also used by outsiders, which is one of the reasons why the Evil God Cult has not caused any major trouble in the past decade.

Soon, a number of black vehicles and patrol officers arrived and blocked the hill. After the Special Service Department took charge of the situation here, Chen Chu and others left by car.

Back at the hotel, Chen Chu took a shower and lay on the bed, his attention turned to his clone.

In the closed ice crystal palace, a giant silver dragon lay quietly, with silver light flickering between its brows, and countless mysterious spatial patterns emerging on the dragon scales.

In the air, a 3D silver galaxy slowly rotated, explaining the mysteries of space to the Thunder Flame Beast.

However, the core charm of this innate space rune, similar to the power of "innate magical power", has been integrated into Cecitia's soul, and what is revealed at this time is just an empty shell.

That is to say, it is a part of the spatial foundation contained in the rune, representing a certain kind of materialized trace of space.

Therefore, after the Thunder Flame Beast has comprehended it, it does not mean that it has comprehended all the mysteries of space, just like it has mastered the seven talent runes, but it does not mean that it can rub the talents by itself.

But even this is enough.

Buzz!

At this time, the silver galaxy flickering in the sky began to become unstable, flickering continuously, and then collapsed silently, turning into white light spots all over the sky and disappeared.

The giant silver dragon slowly opened its eyes, and a look of fatigue appeared in its eyes.

Urging the soul power to activate the innate runes, even if it is a giant dragon, it will be exhausted after persisting for several hours, and roared: "Ao Batian, I can't do it anymore."

The Thunder Flame Beast growled slowly, "Thank you for your hard work, Ceciltia. I feel that if I can do it two more times, I will be able to comprehend the basics of 'space'."

"Roar! Two more times, okay." The silver dragon made a bitter face.

This feeling of spiritual weakness is too uncomfortable, but as a great dragon, since he has promised to help the Thunder Flame Beast comprehend the space runes, he will not go back on his word.

"Roar! I'll take a nap and come back after my soul power recovers." With a low roar, the silver dragon slowly closed its eyes and fell into a deep sleep in the ice crystal palace.

Looking at the mighty and mysterious silver dragon in front of him, a hint of satisfaction appeared in the golden vertical pupils of the Thunder Flame Beast.

This time, it gained a lot from comprehending the space runes.

However, the silver dragon was sleeping, and it couldn't just stay there. Thinking of this, the Thunder Flame Beast stretched out its right claw and began to engrave force field binding runes on the fine scales.

It has been very busy recently, so busy that even after breaking through level eight, it has no time to go out and devour exotic beasts.

Only after finishing the tasks at hand can we rush into the open sea to hunt those level 7 and 8 behemoths to accumulate evolution points, accelerate growth and break through level 9 as soon as possible.

…

The next morning, just after Chen Chu got up and washed up, he received the news that 315 contribution points had been credited to his account.

After the official appraisal of the value of the broken arm of the Ninth Heaven Demon, it was found that the value had dropped significantly because its essence and blood had dried up and it had been stored for too long, so it was priced at 630 points, and then the two of them split it in half.

"More than 300 contributions."

Chen Chu looked at the remaining 50 points in his account, which had accumulated to 365 contribution points. After thinking for a while, he put on his glasses and connected to Tianyu Think Tank.

After scanning over a dozen resources suitable for sixth-level practitioners that could quickly improve their true strength, Chen Chu finally chose blue crystal.

"The delivery address has been updated. 360 contribution points have been deducted. The 12 blue crystals you exchanged are expected to be delivered in an hour. Please wait for a moment."

As a blue crystal that is one level higher than energy crystal, it contains extremely pure energy and can be quickly refined and absorbed by practitioners.

When they first went to Koroya, Xia Youhui gave Chen Chu a blue crystal. Just one was enough for them, who were in the second level of heaven at that time, to practice for two or three months.

What Chen Chu needs right now is to quickly increase his true strength and reach the peak of the sixth level as soon as possible, so exchanging for life crystals is of no use.

According to Chen Chu's estimation, twelve blue crystals should allow him to break through to the middle stage of the sixth level within a few days.

By then his strength will increase 'a little' again. Yes, breaking through the middle stage of the sixth level will not increase his current combat power too much.

Because his cultivation level is already at the 'peak' of the early sixth level, only one step away from the middle level. After the breakthrough, his true strength will only double, and his bursts in battle will be more sustained.

After washing and packing, Chen Chu, wearing sunglasses, came to Yan Ruoyi.

As soon as he pushed open the door after fingerprint verification, Chen Chu saw that Yan Ruoyi's face was slightly pale. She leaned weakly on the sofa, with mysterious scales appearing between her eyebrows.

Chen Chu keenly felt the soul breath in her body, and it was weakening.

Chen Chu appeared beside the sofa in a flash, looking serious: "Miss Yan, are you okay? Do you want me to notify others?"

Yan Ruoyi shook her head weakly: "No! No, it will be fine in a while."

Under Chen Chu's gaze, after about ten minutes, the feeling of continuous weakening of Yan Ruoyi's soul disappeared, the mysterious scales between her eyebrows disappeared, and her complexion became rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Ruoyi, who was weak and dying just now, returned to normal, as if the scene just now had never happened.

"I'm fine."

A smile appeared on Yan Ruoyi's face: "This kind of spiritual weakness only lasts for a while, and you'll be fine once you get through it."

As for what would happen if she didn't make it, she didn't say, and there was no need to say.

Chen Chu was silent for a moment: "After the Ninth Heaven touches the law, cultivation involves the soul. When breaking through the King, the soul will undergo a transformation, not to mention a strong man like the Black Tortoise Heavenly King."

"Is there anything he can do about this kind of 'injury'?"

After a week of contact, Chen Chu was very impressed by this girl who was confident, generous, positive, and not afraid even when facing death.

Some people can't bear to see her die like this.

"no way."

Yan Ruoyi shook her head slightly: "My injury is different from normal soul damage. It is incomplete from birth, just like a bottle that is empty from the bottom."

"Even after all these years of using various soul resources, I couldn't repair that hole. It just made my soul flow less quickly."

"But I don't know if it's because of 'drug resistance', but since three years ago, my soul has been unable to absorb any energy from soul-type resources."

At this point, Yan Ruoyi hugged her knees on the sofa and whispered, "Actually, this feeling of clearly feeling that my life is slipping away and I am getting closer to death is very scary."

"It's just that I'm the daughter of the Xuanwu Heavenly King, and I can't bring shame to my father."

"So in the past few years I have been encouraging myself, telling myself that even if I die, I must die standing up with a smile on my face."

"No one in our Yan family is afraid of death, just like my eldest brother and second brother..."

As the girl spoke, a look of tenacity appeared in her eyes, and the slight weakness that had arisen in her heart when her soul weakened before gradually disappeared.

Yan Ruoyi stood up, full of energy: "Let's go, Brother Chu, let's go have breakfast first, and then I will practice two new songs to prepare for the concert in a few days."

"In the last days of my life, I want people all over the world to remember me."

After the Shanshu family was eradicated, nothing happened in the next few days. The entire Dongdu seemed normal and prosperous as usual.

At the same time, as Yan Ruoyi's team arrived one after another, everyone became busy, including Chen Chu, who was busy absorbing blue crystals for cultivation. Only Li Daoyi had nothing to do.

Or maybe this guy is also very busy, busy adding beautiful girls as friends, sending them red envelopes, and enjoying the feeling of those beautiful girls calling him handsome.

At the same time, the clone continued to immerse himself in the understanding of the space rune, making steady progress and almost completely comprehending the rune.
