While the giant beasts in Dragon Palace were preparing crystals for the Thunder Flame Emperor Dragon, the ferocious giant beasts under the volcano were still sleeping. At the same time, Chen Chu was continuing his retreat and cultivation.

This retreat lasted longer than Chen Chu had imagined.

Originally, when he was condensing the rune phantom, Chen Chu estimated that he would only need more than ten days to cultivate to the peak of the sixth level, and then try to break through the seventh level.

But he didn't expect that the closer he got to the peak of the Sixth Heaven, the slower the condensation of True Dragon Power became, as if there was an invisible force suppressing his breakthrough.

And this power comes from heaven and earth.

In this situation, each step forward becomes more difficult. At the same time, the power of the True Dragon becomes more condensed and purer under the pressure of heaven and earth, and finally reaches its peak.

boom!

As the golden true dragon power in Dantian condensed to the extreme, golden flames erupted from Chen Chu's body, and the whole person turned into light, emitting a terrifying and heavy aura.

With Chen Chu as the center, the iron-hard ground sank slightly, and spider-web cracks spread in all directions, as if it could not support him.

But that’s not enough.

At the moment when the power of the true dragon turned into erupting flames, Chen Chu, whose realm had already reached the seventh level, had an idea.

boom!

Above the training room, a huge phantom slowly emerged, holding a halberd, with a halo surrounding its head. In an instant, the energy of heaven and earth within a radius of more than a thousand meters began to riot.

The endless energy of heaven and earth gathered rapidly, causing a howling wind, which made the trees in the base sway and caused sand and rocks to fly.

The sudden change attracted the attention of countless people in the base. Many people subconsciously looked up in the direction of the training room, and shock appeared on their faces.

In the distance, I saw a thirty-meter-tall figure standing, surrounded by white clouds and mist, in which lightning flashed and golden flames burned.

"Someone has broken through to the seventh level!"

"Hiss! Such a strong momentum, are you sure this is a breakthrough to the seventh level, not the eighth level?"

"Yes, when Major Ling Tian broke through the seventh level, the condensed Zhenwu phantom was only ten meters high, and the energy of heaven and earth only attracted a range of three hundred meters."

"Who is the one who made the breakthrough? Why is he so abnormal?"

In the base building, Li Qingtian stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the shadows surrounded by thunder and fire in the distance and exclaimed: "As expected of a genius who created his own secret book at the sixth level of heaven and possesses the demeanor of a king."

"Just after condensing, the Zhenwu phantom has reached the size limit of a seventh-level cultivator. In this case, the increase in the power of heaven and earth will not be less than ten times."

"In addition to the strange visions surrounding him, his Zhenwu phantom also incorporates two complete elemental talent runes."

"Just to turn such a huge Zhenwu phantom into reality, the power of heaven and earth required will be more than ten times that of other practitioners. Can you hold on?"

Soon, Li Qingtian's eyes showed surprise. He saw the shadow in the distance solidifying at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

"The young people nowadays are amazing." Li Qingtian exclaimed.

In the room, the light and flames transformed from Chen Chu's essence and spirit erupted and burned, melting the gathered energy of heaven and earth into the power of heaven and earth containing "creation".

However, this kind of burning consumes a lot of energy, similar to Chen Chu entering a rune transformation form.

Therefore, when a cultivator breaks through the seventh level, the condensed Zhenwu phantom will be maintained at about ten meters, and then slowly strengthened and condensed.

But for Chen Chu, who has a strong body, vast true strength and spirit, these are not a problem.

The flames burned, the energy of heaven and earth roared, and under the fusion of a large amount of power from heaven and earth, the phantom that was originally just a condensation of runes turned into reality, and the speed became faster and faster.

Under the gazes of many people in the military base, the phantom of Zhenwu quickly became real.

And at the moment when the fighting shadow was completely condensed, the surrounding thunder and flames shook and suddenly gathered towards the light wheel behind it, merging into the two light wheels.

Buzz!

The third halo behind the fighting shadow was burning with flames, while the first halo inside turned into lightning, with arcs of electricity flashing, appearing sacred and majestic.

At the same time, in the training room, flashes of lightning were jumping on Chen Chu's body, and he was surrounded by light bands formed by golden flames, emitting scorching heat.

At the same time, waves of power from the fighting shadow were added to Chen Chu. In an instant, his aura surged, flames erupted, and the entire training room shook violently.

Feeling the stronger true dragon power and invisible blessing power after the second qualitative change in his body, Chen Chu moved his mind and called out the attribute page.

His eyes swept over the changes in data after the breakthrough, especially the notes behind the Fighting God Body, a satisfied smile appeared on Chen Chu's face.

The twelve-fold increase in the basic true energy output far exceeds the five times that of those in the early seventh level.

Even though the difference is only seven times, when you reach a high level, even a 10% difference in power is huge, let alone seven times.

Apart from thunder, Jin Yan's natural power was nothing unexpected, and the addition of strength, defense, and speed was equivalent to turning the Emperor Dragon form into normal.

And this is just the foundation. When the concentration of the fighting shadow increases later, the power enhanced by the rune talent will also increase.

There is also the Fighting Emperor Dragon form, which is even more powerful than the Divine Emperor Dragon form, and the consumption is changed from burning true strength and blood to the energy of heaven and earth.

In this way, Chen Chu will no longer be a three-minute man.

However, after breaking through the seventh level, Chen Chu did not go out immediately, but consolidated for another two days.

This retreat lasted ten days, and it was June 1st when I came out.

As the heavy door of the training room slowly opened, Zhang Qiong, who had been waiting outside for a long time, only felt a terrifying pressure coming towards him.

The ground even shook slightly under the heavy footsteps, as if the person walking towards them was not a human, but an ancient ferocious beast.

However, after noticing the shock on her face, Chen Chu activated the Hidden God Rune with an intention, and restrained the invisible pressure emanating from his body.

Suddenly his whole temperament changed, and he looked like a gentle and somewhat handsome college student.

Looking at Zhang Qiong outside the door, Chen Chu asked, "Officer Zhang, are you waiting for me here for something?"

Feeling the invisible pressure disappear, Zhang Qiong breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded: "Yes, Major Chen, I am here to tell you that the time of the arrival of the ancient ruins has been determined."

Chen Chu raised his eyebrows: "When?"

"On June 9th, we will send a special plane to take you to the meeting place."

"Major Chen, please try to keep communications smooth for the next period of time to facilitate contact." Zhang Qiong reminded.

She knew that after acquiring space equipment such as the Sumeru Bracelet, practitioners would get in the habit of placing items inside, including mobile phones that would not receive messages after being placed inside.

The 9th? There's still time to go back, Chen Chu thought.

"By the way, Major Chen, Miss Yan sent a box over a few days ago, saying it was a gift for you, but you are in seclusion."

As she spoke, Zhang Qiong handed the seemingly ordinary wooden box, which was 30 centimeters long and wide, to Chen Chu.

"In addition, Miss Yan also said that if you come out of quarantine before 12 o'clock on the 1st, she would like to see you off at the Creation Research Base in the North District."

Is the reincarnation ceremony about to begin?

Before twelve o'clock, at the North District Creation Research Base. Chen Chu glanced at the sun in the sky that was approaching noon, and his figure instantly turned into a shadow and rushed out of the military base.

Although the two parties met because of a mission, after more than a month of getting along, their relationship has become good and they can be considered friends who can talk to each other.

In this situation, Chen Chu had to go and see him off no matter what.

The military base where Chen Chu is located is dozens of kilometers away from the urban area, plus it has to cross from the south of the city to the north, which adds up to almost seventy kilometers.

Chen Chu only needed to cross this distance in a few minutes at supersonic speed, and because of the energy of heaven and earth surrounding him, there was no sonic boom along the way.

Even when passing through the urban area, many people were almost knocked down by the strong wind.

whoosh!

Chen Chu appeared out of nowhere at the gate of the huge Creation Research Base. The two soldiers in the guard room stared at him and said solemnly, "Hello, you need to register your identity to enter the base."

Chen Chu nodded slightly, took out a black magnetic card and swiped it on the instrument outside.

Suddenly, the screen in the guard room changed, and information about Chen Chu popped up. On the left was a full-body photo of him, and on the right was...

Name: Chen Chu

Position: Major

Clearance: Level 9

The message was simple, but the ninth-level authority made the two soldiers look serious. They saluted and said politely, "Major Chen, please come in."

Chen Chu nodded slightly: "Sorry for the trouble."

But the security level here is very high

After passing four identity verification checkpoints, Chen Chu finally arrived at the central building of the research base. Several people were talking in the hall.

Yan Ruoyi, Xu Xiaoqi, Bai Yunfeng, and two middle-aged men who looked ordinary but inexplicably gave people a sense of dignity.

Today, Chen Chu was wearing a set of grey casual clothes, without sunglasses, and even his face had returned to its original appearance after using the mimicking fluid for the second time.

Therefore, Bai Yunfeng and Xu Xiaoqi did not recognize him at first.

But Yan Ruoyi showed a bright smile on her face: "Brother Chu, I thought you wouldn't come."

Chen Chu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Yan. I was in seclusion for a long time this time. I just came out a while ago. Fortunately, I made it in time."

Xu Xiaoqi beside him was immediately surprised and said, "Mr. Chu, no, Mr. Chen, so this is your true appearance. I almost didn't recognize you just now."

Chen Chu smiled slightly: "It was required by the mission before, so I changed my appearance a little bit."

At this time, Yan Ruoyi pulled the burly, bearded middle-aged man and introduced him, "Dad, let me introduce you to Chen Chu, who is also the alias Chu Batian who protected me earlier."

"Brother Chu, this is my father, this is Uncle Yang, Uncle Yang's title is Jiuyou."

It turned out to be the Nine Nether Heavenly King. A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Chu's eyes, but the appearance of the Black Tortoise Heavenly King was within his expectations.

Facing two Heavenly King-level beings, Chen Chu politely said, "Greetings to Heavenly King Xuanwu and Heavenly King Jiuyou."

Xuanwu Tianwang was a very heroic person. He patted Chen Chu on the shoulder and laughed, "Chen boy, you guys worked hard protecting Xiaoyi."

"I have read the information about this mission. You did a great job. You are indeed one of the most talented geniuses of the new generation. You are already as talented as I was back then."

The handsome and cool Jiuyou Tianwang, who looked like a scholar, looked at him strangely: "Old Yan, are you sure you were so outstanding when you were seventeen?"

"If I remember correctly, you started to show your talents in your twenties. I was already in the ninth heaven at that time."

Xuanwu Tianwang's smile froze, and he couldn't help but cough: "Almost, almost."

But before everyone could continue reminiscing, the elevator in the distance opened.

Then a young man with short, shining golden hair came out and said, "Everyone, the reincarnation chamber and the accompanying ceremony are ready. It's almost time to begin."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

The Xuanwu King, who had been smiling just now, suddenly fell silent, his fists slightly clenched, and there was even a faint aura of terror emanating from him.

Apparently, when it comes to the life and death of his last daughter, even this powerful man at the top of the world loses his composure.

Yan Ruoyi held the hand of Xuanwu Tianwang, smiled and said easily: "Dad, don't worry, the success rate has reached 30% now, which is very high, isn't it?"

"Maybe I'll wake up after a while."

Xuanwu Tianwang said in a low and firm voice: "I believe you will wake up."

"Yes, he will definitely wake up." Yan Ruoyi smiled at Chen Chu, her eyes as bright as ever, without any fear or terror of death.

Taking the elevator, everyone arrived hundreds of meters below the base.

This is a white, empty hall with a silver hibernation chamber in the middle that is five meters long and three meters wide. The overall shape is full of science fiction.

Where he was lying inside the hibernation chamber, the purple life essence that Chen Chu had once given was flowing along some runes, forming a purple "dragon" shape.

In addition, Chen Chu also sensed a lot of powerful fluctuating "substances" inside.

At the same time, countless patterns were engraved on the floor, three walls and ceiling of the empty white hall, which looked like "angels", "dragon men" and many strange creatures.

All of these creatures were facing forward, kneeling on the ground and praying, and the end ahead was pitch black, like a void fault that swallowed everything.

Sacred and mysterious.

At this time, the girl turned around and smiled brightly: "Goodbye everyone, I'm going to bed."
