The valley that was once lush with vegetation has turned into ruins, with pits dozens to hundreds of meters in diameter and huge cracks everywhere.

At this time, there stood an eight-tailed celestial fox that was more than ten meters tall, and more than fifty meters long including its tail. It looked like a real fox. The energy of heaven and earth gathered around it, and its momentum was overwhelming.

Compared to Lin Xiong's Zhenwu phantom who had just broken through, Qingqiu Minghui's Zhenwu phantom who was in the late seventh level was even more terrifying.

That powerful might was almost equal to that of a real late-stage seventh-level behemoth.

At this time, Qingqiu Minghui stood quietly in front of the giant beast's phantom, with white light shining on his body, rolling up the energy of heaven and earth to echo the giant beast behind him, and the heaven and earth seemed to be shaking with every breath.

Moreover, the phantom of this giant beast was one with his aura, and its every move was like the superposition of two late seventh-level masters.

This is the terrifying power of high-level human cultivators, who are far more powerful than ordinary level seven behemoths.

Of course, as a descendant of the king, Qingqiu Minghui is stronger than those at the same level, because the normal seventh-level Zhenwu phantom is not that powerful.

Qingqiu Minghui said slowly: "I'm sorry, Brother Chu, I didn't stop just now."

When the previous battle became fierce, the seal he had casually placed on his body was broken, and he couldn't help but slash out with a sword with his cultivation level of the late seventh level.

In a meteorite crater with a diameter of tens of meters, Chen Chu, who is two meters and five meters tall and surrounded by circles of gas explosions, holds a giant halberd in his hand, exuding a domineering aura that can suppress the world.

Chen Chu said in a muffled voice: "Brother Qingqiu, there is no need to apologize. It is normal to be unable to stop fighting after a while."

As to whether he couldn't stop himself or wanted to force him to explode to the limit, only Qingqiu Minghui himself knew it best.

As he spoke, the burning energy and blood in Chen Chu's body slowly extinguished, and his burly figure shrank as if air was leaking out, and his armor automatically adjusted itself with a click.

At the same time, the halberd in his hand recovered to its length of three meters and eighty centimeters under the golden light.

No matter what, this fight with Qingqiu Minghui also allowed him to accumulate some experience in fighting with high-level practitioners, especially these people's control over the energy of heaven and earth.

With every move he made, his will stirred the energy of heaven and earth, unleashing normal attacks that were several times or even ten times more powerful than those of the Sixth Heaven, and his combat power was lasting and inexhaustible.

This is because each of their attacks actually consumes very little true energy, and most of their power comes from the amplification of the energy of heaven and earth.

In addition, Chen Chu’s own current strength has also been more accurately positioned.

He can fight against cultivators in the middle stage of the seventh heaven at will, and he can also put up a fight in the later stage by bursting out with all his strength after entering the state of Divine Power Dragon Elephant.

However, fighting against, defeating, and killing are three different concepts, so he is not strong enough.

At this time, Qingqiu Minghui put away the shadow of Zhenwu, his aura, and along with the armor, he once again turned into that handsome young man who was as handsome as a jade.

Looking at Chen Chu, who had a domineering aura, Qingqiu Minghui exclaimed: "I didn't expect that Brother Chu's strength was stronger than I thought. I lost this battle."

As a descendant of the king, he was actually suppressed by Chen Chu when he was at the same level with all his strength before, so when the seal was broken, he couldn't help but burst out with an attack at his true level.

So in the end he lost.

"But in this way, I can rest assured that Miss Yan's safety will be entrusted to you."

As both are descendants of kings, and because of his reverence for the Heavenly King Xuanwu, Qingqiu Minghui has an innate liking for Yan Ruoyi, but is also somewhat angry about this incident.

Although his reason told him that the Federation could achieve the ideal result that everyone wanted by cooperating with Yan Ruoyi, he was still a little angry.

After all, he is also a descendant of the king and can empathize with him.

This is also one of the reasons why he wanted to see Chen Chu's strength. As for Li Daoyi, the innate awakener, it is unnecessary because he is a monster who is no less than a king.

However, at this time, the anger in Qingqiu Minghui's heart gradually dissipated.

He is at the middle stage of the sixth heaven. He is neither a congenital awakener nor a descendant of a king. He doesn’t even seem to have practiced the secret book of combat. However, his combat power is able to reverse the level of the middle stage of the seventh heaven.

Even in that transformed super-power form, his later attack was just suppressing and did not cause any damage, although it was just a casual attack from him.

This kind of talent is, to some extent, even more terrifying than those of the descendants of kings and those who are born awakened.

The Federation even sent out this peerless evildoer.

In this situation, if one of the two people is lost, it will be no less than the death of a half-step king.

At this time, the gorgeous armor on Chen Chu's body also snapped and broke apart, and was put into the Sumeru bracelet one by one.

As they talked, the two walked together. Qingqiu Minghui flipped his hand and handed a piece of black iron to Chen Chu: "Brother Chu, this is my family's secret method of time and space summoning."

Chen Chu smiled and took the secret disc.

Wasn't it just for this secret method that he almost emptied his trump cards to fight?

"This is a secret disc tempered from the scales of a giant beast in the sea of ​​clouds. It can carry top-level secret techniques. I have about three more opportunities to comprehend it after learning and using it over the years."

"There is a limit on the number of times you can do this." Chen Chu paused.

Qingqiu Minghui nodded: "Of course, compared with ordinary secrets, top-level secrets involve laws, and ordinary items cannot bear them at all."

"When we study and comprehend, the remaining soul and will will be consumed, so a top-level secret method will generally dissipate after ten times of comprehending."

Chen Chu said slowly: "...I didn't expect it to be a top-level secret method involving laws. I was too rude."

Are three chances too few? Of course they are not few, or in other words, Chen Chu made a lot of money.

This kind of secret method involving laws can be given away after just a fight. He is worthy of being a member of the royal family, very generous.

"Brother Chu, don't worry about it. The pursuit of strength and the desire to become stronger are the driving force for our progress as practitioners. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to resist either."

As they spoke, the two of them took one step each to reach ten meters, and in just a moment they were out of the ruined valley.

Watching the two people walking up the hillside, Li Daoyi also felt a little itchy and said excitedly: "Brother Chu, how about we have a sparring match sometime?"

He wanted to try whether Chen Chu's strength was more domineering and unparalleled, or his thunder power was more powerful and unparalleled.

"Why would we fight? If you feel like fighting, I can let you fight to your heart's content when the two kings' soul clones show up."

There is no benefit in fighting with Li Dao, and Chen Chu is not interested in wasting time.

He is very busy now. Very busy.

He needs to construct space teleportation runes, deduce his own top secret book, and find time to comprehend and study the Qingqiu family's summoning secrets. There are a lot of things to do.

No matter which one it is, it is very important to him.

Li Daoyi immediately changed his words: "No, brother. If those two guys show up together, how about we take one each?"

"Excuse me, my mission is to find the enemy and protect Miss Yan closely. Isn't it your responsibility to fight?"

"Brother Chu, don't you feel guilty when you say this? We are brothers, brothers who have carried guns together."

"Uh...we haven't touched a gun, have we?"

…

It was already evening when the group returned to the hotel.

In the hotel restaurant, while everyone was waiting for the food to be served, the fox-eared girl opposite blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Senior Chu, how did you cultivate to the sixth level in seven months?"

"Not only is his cultivation level high, but his combat power is also so terrifying. He is simply a monster."

Suddenly, curiosity appeared in the eyes of others.

Chen Chu thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it was a bit difficult at the beginning. For example, the first time I practiced the Body Forging Technique, it took me more than fifty minutes to complete one turn. I was the worst in the class."

“At that time, my meditation practice was very slow, but it became much smoother as I practiced. Even so, it took me half a month to build my foundation.”

"After I established my foundation, I started practicing Zhenwu. At that time, my progress was pretty good."

"But I don't know when it started, but I found that my practice became smoother and smoother, and the power of the Dragon Elephant Technique became stronger and stronger. Then I found that practice seemed... very simple."

"Then I signed up for the Koroya Trial, and discovered that I could practice faster during combat. When I returned to school, I was the first to break through to the fourth level."

"Then we will enter the alien beast battlefield..."

Looking at Chen Chu who was sharing his past cultivation experience with everyone, Li Daoyi showed envy, because this guy was showing off again.

However, what he envied was not that Chen Chu was showing off again, but that this guy seemed to show off unintentionally every time, which was much better than those guys in the base who showed off deliberately.

After Chen Chu finished talking about his six months of "normal" training experience, everyone's faces showed amazement. They didn't expect that Chen Chu was so ordinary at the beginning.

The fact that he has been able to get to where he is today, surpassing all geniuses and suppressing his peers, is entirely due to his own efforts.

When Chen Chu finished speaking, Xu Xiaoqi couldn't help showing envy on her face, and she sighed with her red lips slightly parted: "It would be great if I also had the talent for cultivation."

The experiences and insights gained during this period made her suddenly feel that the group secretary and the president's assistant were not worth mentioning in front of the practitioners who mastered extraordinary powers.

Yan Ruoyi comforted her, "Sister Xiaoqi, everyone has different talents for cultivation. There's no need to force it. As long as you feel that you are living a wonderful life, that's enough."

"Sometimes not being able to practice isn't necessarily a bad thing. For example, if my brother and his friends didn't have the talent for practice, they would have married and had children by now."

Bai Yunfeng also nodded and said, "Indeed, although Young Master Qingqiu and his men have amazing talents, the responsibilities they will bear in the future are beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

“Someone once said that with great power comes great responsibility.”

"Although this statement is biased, in this era, when a person's abilities grow and he enjoys more rights, he also has to bear more responsibilities."

"When that time comes, even if you don't want to go, the general trend will force you to keep moving forward, to cut through the thorns and thorns, to carve out a way out for your family and brothers."

It was obvious that the two women's feelings came from the Xuanwu Heavenly King, and suddenly the atmosphere at the dinner table became a little heavy.

At this time, Qingqiu Mingyue suddenly blinked her big eyes, looked at Yan Ruoyi and said, "Sister Ruoyi, are you free tomorrow?"

Yan Ruoyi nodded: "I have time tomorrow, what's the matter?"

Her music team and dance team will arrive the day after tomorrow, so there is nothing to do in the next two days.

Qingqiu Mingyue said excitedly: "Let's go to Lingshan Nature Park together tomorrow. There is a mutant fox breeding base there, and many new fox beasts have been released recently."

I don’t know why, but this girl with big breasts seems to like Yan Ruoyi very much. If you don’t know, you would think they are sisters.

"Okay." Yan Ruoyi smiled and didn't refuse.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to wash up.

However, before returning to his room, Chen Chu first walked into Yan Ruoyi's suite.

The two-bedroom, one-living room suite was elegantly decorated. Chen Chu scanned every corner with sharp eyes, and even stood by the window to look around.

Although Qingqiu Minghui guaranteed that the Qingshan City group would be absolutely safe with him in charge, Chen Chu still did not relax.

After all, Yan Ruoyi is different from them. She is just an ordinary person and a sniper rifle can take her life.

Of course, Chen Chu was just taking precautions. He felt that Yan Ruoyi should have a powerful trump card. After all, she was the daughter of the Black Tortoise King.

If you have no idea what the daughter of the King of Heaven is, you can imagine her as the daughter of a powerful god.

After making sure everything was OK, Chen Chu turned around and nodded slightly to Yan Ruoyi: "Miss Yan, there is no problem with the room and the surroundings."

Yan Ruoyi smiled and said, "I didn't expect that a talented student like Chu would be so professional when he was a bodyguard for the first time. I would have thought you were from a family of bodyguards."

Chen Chu coughed dryly: "No, I just read some books about what bodyguards need to pay attention to before I came here, so I followed their example."

"You can take everything seriously. Brother Chu, your success is not accidental."

At this point, Yan Ruoyi came to the window with some emotion, looked at the night outside, and suddenly said: "Brother Chu, what do you say is a human being?"

"Ms. Yan, what do you mean?" Chen Chu paused slightly.

Yan Ruoyi whispered, "What I mean is, when a person fundamentally transforms into another creature in order to gain power or immortality, is she still considered a human?"

Chen Chu thought for a moment and said, "...I think to define a person, we should look at his essence."

"If this 'creature' was not a human being in the first place, then it is not a human being."

"But if this person becomes a non-human later in life, as long as his mind and consciousness still consider him to be a human, then he is a human."

"In this case, even if he becomes a monster or a beast, his definition of himself will not change, and his behavior and thinking patterns will still follow human habits."

"But if one day the traces of 'humans' disappear from it, then it will have nothing to do with humans anymore."

As for whether one is still considered human after transforming into another creature, Chen Chu feels that he has the most say, after all, his other half is a mutant giant beast.

"Self-definition?" Yan Ruoyi nodded.

In fact, this controversy has always existed in Beilin. The objects of the controversy are those genetic martial arts practitioners who integrate the genes of alien beasts in order to gain powerful strength and gradually become more and more inhuman.

At this time, Chen Chu asked curiously: "Miss Yan, you just mentioned immortality. Does immortality really exist in this world?"

"Of course there is."

Yan Ruoyi said softly: "Fifty years have passed since the new era, and no high-level cultivator has died of old age. Most of them died in battle."

"Not to mention high-level practitioners. After touching the road, the vitality of the flesh is very strong. Medical research speculates that high-level practitioners can live for at least 300 years."

"As for the king, when he ascends the throne, both his body and soul will be given a chance to be reshaped. The soul will transform into a divine soul, and the body and the laws will merge into a true body."

"The king-level strongmen that humans have come into contact with the most are the Purgatory Clan. It is said that many of those demon kings have lived for a thousand years, not to mention the stronger ones."

"...The king's lifespan is more than a thousand years." Chen Chu was a little surprised.

Although he had long felt that he had a strong vitality and should be able to live for a long time, he did not expect that the lifespan of a king alone would exceed a thousand years.

So if he continues to practice, he will also become an 'immortal'?

Then Chen Chu and Yan Ruoyi chatted for a while before returning to his room. After washing up, he sat cross-legged in bed with the black iron sheet.

At the same time, deep under the sea, the giant thunder and flame beast that was testing the space channel runes with its physical body also stopped what he was doing.

There are only three chances to comprehend the top secret technique. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong and nothing is wasted, Chen Chu is going to immerse himself in the comprehension.

call!

As Chen Chu's spiritual will merged into the black secret disc, his consciousness sank suddenly and appeared in a vast world.

This kind of inheritance of soul and will is similar to the top secret book, both of which use the power of will to construct a void space and fully explain the "Tao".

However, unlike the Zhenwu Secret Book, this secret method is a reflection of the soul and will of a king-level strong man, so the "world" appears more complete.

At this time, on the vast land, a figure in white clothes as white as snow stood, and at the end of the sky there was the figure of a giant beast as huge as a mountain.

At this time, the figure in white opened his mouth slowly, and his will shook the void.

"The so-called summoning is actually using a medium to reverse time and space, invert space, and temporarily overlap the powerful creatures in another time and space with the space you are in."

"This situation involves the forces of time and space, as well as cause and effect."

"In the past, by chance, Yang once touched the power of time. With the help of the power of the same bloodline, his soul resonated and he took himself as the starting point..."

Along with the magnetic voice, strands of 'time' flowed around the white figure, and 'space' also emerged in a tangible form, and began to perform 'summoning'.

Two hours later, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

With the talent of double pupils and innate space runes, he has a deep understanding of space.

As for the Time Rune Altar, I will comprehend it a little slower, but it should be no problem if I write it down twice more. Then as long as I spend more time practicing, I will be able to learn it one day.

As for the giant beast's bloodline or essence, soul resonance, and part of the giant beast's body material required for summoning, they are not a problem at all.

All he needs to do is condense a drop of the giant beast's essence and blood to create a soul resonance... He himself is half the giant beast's soul, and his body material is himself.

Under the long-term evolutionary energy synchronization, his body is the best coordinate for the Thunder Flame Beast.

Once you succeed in your cultivation, when you encounter a powerful enemy, you can project the giant beast or even summon the real body of the Thunder and Flame Beast, and then you can suppress everything.

However, no matter how excited he was, Chen Chu knew very well what to do at the moment.

His focus next will still be on the space channel runes. He will try to complete its construction within a few days, and then he will be able to convert all the life crystals over there into attribute points.

At that time, all the talents of the Thunder Flame Beast will be strengthened at once, super strengthened.
