Morning.

As the Tianyuan Stone in Chen Chu's hand turned into powder, his cultivation level broke through to the middle stage of the seventh level, and his aura instantly soared.

Under the sudden surge of powerful pressure, the surrounding air was squeezed and formed a circle of circular white air waves, which set off a strong wind and rushed out more than ten meters away.

The sound of the breakthrough startled An Fuqing, who was sitting cross-legged in the distance. He opened his eyes, which were filled with sword intent, and looked at Chen Chu with a hint of surprise.

"Seventh level, middle stage!"

Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with a hint of fierce dragon power and a compelling gaze. He nodded slightly when he heard the words: "Yes, a breakthrough."

"So strong!" An Fuqing exclaimed.

She had asked Chen Chu before and knew that he had broken through to the seventh level on June 1st, which meant that in less than half a month he had broken through to the middle stage of the seventh level.

The improvement speed is so terrifying after reaching a high level that even An Fuqing feels a lot of pressure.

Because she can enter a state of enlightenment at any time, her cultivation speed is ten to twenty times faster than other practitioners. When she encounters a bottleneck, she can use the sword intent to cut through it.

But even she was not sure that she could reach a higher level within half a month after reaching the seventh level.

At this time, Chen Chu's eyes fell on the transparent page in front of him.

Skills: Fighting God Body·Halberd [Seventh level, Fighting Shadow 30%: Gathers the energy of heaven and earth when it manifests, amplifying the power of the true dragon fourteen times.

Obtain more powerful thunder and the blessing of golden flame element.

Gain seven times the strength, seven times the defense, and three times the speed.

The battle phantom became 30% real. After breaking through the middle stage of the seventh level, the blessing of the innate rune on Chen Chu in all aspects was greatly improved.

With his current strength, every improvement is amazing, let alone a doubling of the improvement.

At this time, the door of the mecha in the distance opened, and Gabriella, wearing white silk pajamas, climbed out, yawned, and said lazily, "Good morning, both of you."

Noticing the pajamas she was wearing, even Chen Chu was surprised... She was wearing pajamas to sleep in this place. Is that so particular?

Thinking about the exquisite snacks she took out of the Sumeru bracelet yesterday, Chen Chu always had the feeling that she was not exploring the ruins, but an aristocratic girl out for a picnic.

Fortunately, nothing strange happened afterwards.

After the three of them had a simple breakfast of Gabriella's snacks, the girl entered the mecha and changed into a blue maintenance worker's uniform.

"I won't be going into the ruins today. I'm going to upgrade my mecha and break through the seventh level."

The girl with a high ponytail blinked her eyes and asked curiously: "Upgrade the mecha, how do I upgrade it?"

Gabriella put the blue hat on her head straight and explained: "In fact, our breakthroughs as mechanical warriors are similar to yours. The core is the same."

"It's just that our Zhenwu phantom is engraved on the mecha in the form of a matrix, and it can be disassembled and reassembled in the form of plates at ordinary times."

"And every breakthrough in realm is an opportunity to add new weapons and templates, an upgrade."

"However, everyone's carrying capacity is different, and the skills and mechas they practice are also different. In the end, there is a limit to the weapons and innate functions that can be loaded."

With Gabriella's introduction, An Fuqing gained some understanding of the breakthrough of mechanical weapons to a higher level.

An Fuqing looked at Chen Chu and said, "My Purple Evil Points are already sufficient. I plan to go around the 300-kilometer range again today to see if I can gain something else."

"If I still don't gain anything, I will prepare to practice in seclusion until the path to becoming a god appears."

Chen Chu said slowly: "I plan to kill some more polluted monsters and hone my combat skills."

However, neither An Fuqing nor Gabriella completely believed what he said. To hone combat skills, one needs to kill one or two thousand high-level or even high-level monsters a day?

After the two left, Gabriella released an octopus robot, two engineering robots and many huge weapon parts from the dozen subspace bracelets worn on her right arm.

Breaking through the seventh level of mechanical weapon training is a sublimation. Under the interaction between heaven and earth, the incomplete innate runes in the materials smelted from the bones of giant beasts will be activated.

These innate abilities were determined when they were smelted into the mecha. They are one of the huge matrix puzzles and will form a whole when breaking through the seventh level.

Gabriella had completed the design of the Zhenwu Matrix before entering the ruins. The mecha and weapon modules had all reached their limits, with only the lava core as the eternal power furnace to break through.

And it's not just Gabriella and Chen Chu. As they entered the ruins on the fifth day, many people had made great gains.

For example, Xia Youhui finally dug out a huge dragon turtle statue from the ground, which was carrying a broken stone tablet. The statue was more than 200 meters long, 100 meters wide, and 100 meters high.

Just standing at the edge of the pit, the dirty Xia Youhui looked at the huge statue in a daze.

Because he seemed... not to see anything.

With his left hand leaning on the shovel, Xia Youhui shook his head and said, "No way, Uncle Xia, I'm so unlucky that I dug such a big hole but found nothing?"

…

Under the dim sky, Chen Chu rushed to a depth of 400 kilometers in the ruins at supersonic speed, then stopped and looked into the distance.

On a hillside a hundred meters high, a five-meter-tall humanoid monster wearing armor and holding a sword sat cross-legged, surrounded by thick purple-black fog.

After seeing Chen Chu, this level seven peak void monster did not roar and rush over like other monsters, but looked at him quietly.

Those dark red eyes were filled with tyranny and cold edge, like a swordsman who had mastered martial arts to the pinnacle, calm and powerful.

But a monster is always a monster. As its hatred for living things overwhelmed its swordsman instincts, the monster gradually exuded the aura of a peak level seven.

The sharp and intimidating edge made Chen Chu's eyes focus.

This monster is very powerful. At the peak level of level 7, it definitely has the combat power of early level 8. Even he needs to deal with it seriously.

roar!

Along with the roar, the monster suddenly stood up, a terrifying sword intent rose into the sky from its body, and the rusty sword in its hand even made a buzzing vibration.

Suddenly, a black and gold vertical pupil appeared in Chen Chu's eyes. The light chain formed by five circles of black runes on the edge of the vertical pupil slowly rotated, emitting a terrifying aura that frightened everyone.

With the void monster as the center, the space within a radius of fifteen meters around it made a cracking sound like a mirror, and then shattered with a bang, including the void monster.

After being amplified five times, the power of the Void Double Pupil became even more terrifying. Even a 10% explosion of the Void energy could instantly kill this powerful monster.

By now, Chen Chu almost exploded when he looked at others.

However, today, just when Chen Chu had rushed out more than a hundred kilometers horizontally, his footsteps stopped again. In the distance, a figure surrounded by thunder was standing on the mountain waiting for him.

“Brother Chu, I knew I could see you from the top of the mountain.”

Chen Chu's figure flashed and came to Li Daoyi, looking at him strangely: "...Brother Li, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"I found the residence of the Lord of Thunder." Li Daoyi's tone was somewhat excited.

"Lord of Thunder." Chen Chu raised his eyebrows.

"The Lord of Thunder is one of the top powers of the ancient civilization. He is in a villa here. I searched for a few days before I found the entrance."

Chen Chu looked strange: "Then what?"

"I can't defeat the puppet warrior guarding the gate." Li Daoyi honestly stated the reason.

I was wondering why this guy suddenly became so loyal and found out that good stuff was waiting for him here. After a long time, he was blocked by the gatekeeper and couldn't get in.

Chen Chu asked: "What is the strength of that puppet?"

"The late eighth heaven."

"...What, late eighth level, are you sure I can beat you?" Chen Chu was speechless.

After breaking through the middle stage of the seventh heaven, without using the Void Double Pupils and the Fighting Emperor Dragon form, Chen Chu estimated that his combat power would barely reach the middle stage of the eighth heaven.

With this kind of strength, he can only fight against some monsters in the middle stage of the eighth heaven. If he wants to kill them, he still needs to use his trump card.

The higher the level, the greater the gap between each small realm. Chen Chu felt that even if he entered the Emperor Dragon form, he could only compete with the eighth late stage at most.

Not to mention killing that puppet.

Li Daoyi vowed: "Brother Chu, I believe in your ability. You can do it. We can give it a try first. If it doesn't work, forget it."

Chen Chu was speechless: "I'm just afraid that if I try it, I'll die." After hearing that the puppet guarding the gate was in the late eighth heaven, he didn't want to take the risk anymore.

That's the late eighth level, not the late seventh level. If you're not careful, there will be no trace of your body left.

However, Li Daoyi continued to persuade him: "Brother Chu, the gatekeeper is different from those monsters. As long as you leave its defense range, it will not continue to pursue you."

"The building of that Beppu is well preserved. I am sure there are fragments of the Law of Thunder inside, and maybe even the inheritance of the Lord of Thunder."

"The inheritance of one of the thirty-six monarchs. Each of those monarchs is comparable to a heavenly king or even stronger. Brother Chu, aren't you tempted?"

Upon hearing that there were fragments of the Thunder Law that matched his Zhenwu phantom, as well as the possible existence of the inheritance of the Lord of Thunder, Chen Chu's expression suddenly became serious.

"Done."

Whoosh!!

In the barren and silent mountains, Li Daoyi transformed into lightning, running side by side with Chen Chu at supersonic speed, crossing one mountain after another.

As a congenital awakener who controls thunder, Li Daoyi is also very fast. After breaking through the seventh level, his normal movement has reached supersonic speed.

And once he uses the limit of thunder and lightning, his speed will be even more terrifying.

Under the leadership of Li Daoyi, the two of them crossed more than 100 kilometers in just over ten minutes, crossing mountains and ridges to reach the top of a mountain in the middle of the mountain range.

Apart from the cracked rocks on the top of the mountain, there is only a ten-meter-high stone tablet with lightning patterns surrounding it and four ancient characters "Cang Lei Bie Yuan" vaguely written on it.

"Beppu was opened up in a stable small world, so it is well preserved, but it requires the power of innate thunder to open it." As he spoke, Li Daoyi pressed his hand on the stone tablet, and purple thunder jumped.

As it absorbed the power of thunder, the lightning patterns on the surface of the stone tablet shone, and a silver-blue lightning exploded from the top, striking the void on one side.

Instantly, a crack in the void slowly opened up, forming a three-meter-high and two-meter-wide "door" that appeared in front of the two.

Opposite the gate was a wide square with a diameter of several hundred meters. At the end stood a forbidding building complex. Inside, the sky was flashing with lightning and the roar and vibration were endless.

Led by Li Daoyi, the two stepped into the gate of the small world.

"Brother Chu, that staircase is the war puppet's warning line. If you step into it, you will be attacked by the war puppet. If you leave the staircase range, it will stop."

Although he wanted to enter Beppu, Li Daoyi still reminded: "That war puppet is very fast. If it doesn't work, we will give up."

"I know."

Chen Chu nodded and looked at the six-meter-tall figure in the distance. The war puppet was covered in blue-purple armor and held an exaggerated battle axe in his hand.

Because it hasn't started yet, it looks like a statue standing in front of the gate, dead and silent.

Wearing heavy combat boots and holding a halberd, Chen Chu slowly walked towards the square. A terrifying power revived in his body and erupted in the form of dazzling golden flames.

boom!

A thirty-meter-tall figure appeared behind Chen Chu, and suddenly the rich energy of heaven and earth within a range of hundreds of meters suddenly rioted, gathered together, and turned into white clouds surrounding him.

At this moment, the phantom of Zhenwu seemed real, like a giant wearing black and red scale armor, with three faces and six arms, and four circles of light wheels with a diameter of several meters slowly rotating behind him.

The face that looked exactly like Chen Chu had a cold expression, and there was a black mark between the eyebrows that looked like a knife or an eye, full of sacred majesty.

"Damn, the middle stage of the seventh level!" Li Daoyi's face showed astonishment.

Buzz!

Just as Chen Chu stepped onto the steps of the square, a light flashed in the eyes of the war puppet in the distance, and in an instant endless lightning burst out with it as the center, followed by an earth-shaking aura.

boom!

The dazzling lightning flashed across the sky and earth, winding like a dragon, and appeared in front of Chen Chu in an instant. The battle axe in his hand, which was wrapped in silver-blue lightning, chopped down at an indescribable speed.

With this terrifying blow, a black crack was torn in the space below the axe blade, emitting a terrifying aura of destruction.

All this happened so quickly that Li Daoyi felt his eyes blurred. Then he saw thunder and flames erupting from Chen Chu's body and a halberd flying across the sky.

boom!

The ground within a hundred meters collapsed, and the iron-hard rocks exploded like sea water. The violent and destructive force set off a destructive impact, destroying everything.

Li Daoyi in the distance was trembling with fear. In horror, lightning exploded on his body, blocking the horrific impact and the rubble it carried.

Bang!

The ground beside Li Daoyi exploded, forming a large pit with a diameter of more than ten meters. At the bottom of the pit was the figure of Chen Chu standing with a halberd in his hand.

After knocking Chen Chu out of the range of the steps, the puppet returned to its original place with a flash of lightning.

Chen Chu, whose arms were still shaking, exclaimed: "So strong."

The extreme moving speed was over six times the speed of sound, and there was an instant burst of destruction. Even he was almost injured by the blow. It was too powerful.

Suddenly, Chen Chu's blood began to boil, his eyes showed a strong fighting spirit, and a blood-colored rune appeared between his eyebrows, emitting endless light.

boom!

Kill, kill everything. A crazy killing rage broke out. A bloody light erupted with Chen Chu as the center, turning a fifty-meter area into a bloody hell.

But that’s not enough.

Dazzling golden flames erupted from Chen Chu's body, and his figure suddenly swelled. No, it was the dragon blood armor on his body that expanded rapidly.

At the same time, the twisted runes on the surface of the dragon blood armor emitted blood light, constantly expanding and overlapping with the shadow of the battle.

At the moment when the armor and the Zhenwu phantom overlapped, an indescribable terrifying aura burst out.

boom!

As endless golden-red flames erupted, a giant eighty meters tall and wearing golden-red armor appeared in the flames.

Surrounded by thigh-thick thunder pythons, burning with golden flames of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, and holding a halberd in his hand, he looked like a true god descending to the earth.

At this time, the Fighting Emperor Dragon was just standing there, but the invisible and terrifying power he emanated made this small world shake, and the thunder in the sky continued to roar and explode.

Li Daoyi's eyes widened.

“Oh my god!”
