In the center of the silver halo vortex whose shockwaves extended to a radius of several thousand meters, a young man with black hair and a shawl walked out with an indifferent expression. All the soldiers guarding the passage saluted respectfully.
"Greetings to the Lord of the Divine Throne."
For these fifth and sixth heavens, and most notably the eighth heaven cultivator warriors, the king is no different from a god to some extent.
Therefore, although they all knew that Chen Chu was very young, these people still admired him from the bottom of their hearts.
What they respected was not only Chen Chu's cultivation, but also his contributions to the Human Federation.
Because the demon god Belial was in the Sky Curtain Battlefield at that time, within ten days, the "biography" about Chen Chu had spread throughout the mythological world.
From the time he participated in the Evil God's clone mission in the Sixth Heaven to the previous battle record deep in the rear of the Purgatory Empire, more than twenty Evil Gods and Demon Kings have fallen at his hands directly and indirectly.
Twenty of them, almost half of the kings currently in office in the Federation.
When the news of such a horrific battle record spread throughout the human territory of the mythological world a few days ago, all practitioners were shocked, including those of the Tianyu tribe who heard the legend.
You must know that after so many years of fighting with the three empires, the Tianyu clan has lost more than a hundred mythical powerful people, while the three empires have only lost more than forty.
At this time, Chen Chu had killed almost half of them by himself, which was simply unimaginable.
Although this was related to the fact that the high-end warriors of the Tianyu clan were entangled by a larger number of great demons and demon gods on the battlefield over there, it still could not be denied that this human named Chen Chu was terrifying.
Facing the fanatical gazes of the practitioners below, Chen Chu nodded slightly: "No need to be polite."
After signaling to the soldiers not to be polite, Chen Chu looked at the space-based warships not far away, as well as the sacred tree that was ten thousand meters tall and emitting dazzling golden light.
The moment he saw the eternal sacred tree, a pair of black-gold vertical pupils that covered the sky and the sun subconsciously appeared in Chen Chu's eyes.
In an instant, the entire world faded in his eyes, all things disappeared, leaving only the golden sacred tree, and under the trunk, golden roots stretched into the earth and the void.
Especially those golden tree roots that probed into the void, surrounded by some rune-like golden light, infinitely extending across the violent world power between the mythological world and the Blue Star world, and probing into the Blue Star.
Following the dozens of golden tree roots spreading out from Channel No. 1, Chen Chu could even vaguely see the main body of the Blue Star 'world'.
It was an endless and dazzling crystal wall, which was in contact with another terrifying world force. The contact area was gradually wrapped up by the power of the mythological world, forming an independent ball of light.
Inside the light group, a galaxy is rotating slowly. There are some light spots surrounding the stars, emitting a hazy halo.
At this moment, with the help of the roots of the Eternal Divine Tree, the connecting point of the two world channels, Chen Chu caught a glimpse of the real scene of the mythological world devouring the Blue Star world.
That dazzling crystal wall is obviously the universe where the blue star is located. It is vast and boundless, and the blue star and star system swallowed by the mythological world are just a small dot compared to the universe.
Currently, the mythological world is instinctively eroding that area. When it is completely completed, that will be the moment when the star system where the blue planet is located is cut and swallowed.
And because the erosion of the power of the mythological world has reached the late stage, it is no longer possible to prevent the Blue Star from being swallowed by the mythological world.
The only thing that can be done to save the world is to prevent it from collapsing and remain intact when the Blue Planet is swallowed up, that is, when the second mythical impact breaks out.
Support the sky!
The word that Luo Fei had once said to him suddenly popped up in Chen Chu's mind.
It seems that the First Senate Chairman and his men also saw this scene, so when dealing with the attacks of the Purgatory Clan over the years, they were also looking for ways to save the world.
Just wanting to carry a star system on his back is different from destroying the Emperor Dragon and dragging a small world with a diameter of one thousand kilometers. The pressure he bears will be so great that it will be terrifying.
Even the strongest person cannot withstand it and will be crushed in the first moment.
Just as Chen Chu frowned slightly, thunder roared from a warship more than ten kilometers away, and a purple-black lightning streaked for more than ten kilometers, revealing the figure of Li Daoyi.
"It's you, Chen Chu. Only someone as powerful as you would act so pretentiously even when walking."
Looking at Li Daoyi who was still wearing a Taoist robe, Chen Chu smiled: "Brother Li, long time no see."
Li Daoyi shrugged: "It hasn't been long, only two months, but you are still so exaggerated. This time you actually killed the rear of the Purgatory Clan."
Chen Chu smiled and said, "It's a complete coincidence. If that passage hadn't appeared, I wouldn't have been able to go that deep into the Purgatory Demon Clan."
After saying this, Li Daoyi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Chen Chu, are you planning to join the expedition this time?"
"It depends on the situation. I have to go to the Tianmu battlefield first to meet the First Senate Chairman." Chen Chu listened to Xie Chen talking about the expedition. As for whether to participate or not, it depends on the situation.
He had a lot of things to do next, including breaking the seal, collecting life crystals to strengthen the five major body-refining techniques to the limit, and transforming them into innate runes to smelt the Fighting God Canon.
Therefore, Chen Chu greeted Li Daoyi and turned into a golden light and flew towards the sky battlefield at more than twenty times the speed of sound.
When An Fuqing arrived at Luo Fei's place on Expedition 1 and 3 warships, more than a hundred kilometers away, he knew that Chen Chu had arrived half an hour later.
"I knew he was okay."
Standing on the shoulder of Unit 1, Luo Fei looked towards the direction of the sky battlefield with a faint smile on her face.
At the same time, on the deck of battleship No. 3, a black-haired girl sitting cross-legged on the edge of the deck, floating in the sea of clouds, slowly opened her eyes, emitting a terrifying sword intent.
"Are you back?"
…
In less than an hour, Chen Chu traveled nearly 20,000 kilometers to the outside of Tianmu War City. Because he was in a hurry, he did not choose to take the Yunxiao fighter.
"High energy fluctuations detected, approaching rapidly at twenty-six times the speed of sound."
"The detection of the soul fluctuations is normal, and corresponds to the fluctuations of the Divine Throne."
"Welcome to the Skymound Battlefield, the Divine Martial Throne..."
Just as the smart watch on Chen Chu's wrist received the signal and an electronic sound popped out, he had already passed through various major bases within a thousand kilometers outside Tianmu War City.
At the same time, the voice of the God King of Tianji sounded in Chen Chu's ears.
"Chen Chu, come here."
Guided by the invisible force, Chen Chu turned into a ray of golden light and soared into the sky, one hundred kilometers, two hundred kilometers, and soon reached an altitude of one thousand kilometers.
boom!
Just as Chen Chu crossed the thousand-kilometer boundary, a heavy and terrifying pressure descended from the sky between heaven and earth, as if invisible rules and restrictions were about to press him down.
Bang!
As soon as the suppression that restricted the mythical life appeared, it was shattered by the invisible power erupting from Chen Chu, and the whole person continued to rise at a terrifying speed.
As he flew higher and higher, the gravity between heaven and earth acting on Chen Chu became stronger and stronger. Under the horrible gravitational pull, the surrounding space was distorted and trembling...
In the end, there was even a blazing golden flame burning on Chen Chu's body, and blue lightning was shining, emitting a light that was brighter than the golden sun in the sky.
It immediately attracted the attention of many people below.
However, at a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers in the air, even the kings could not see Chen Chu's figure clearly. Only Gabriel and other kings knew that he had returned.
Boom boom boom!!
When Chen Chu, emitting brilliant light, flew like a rocket to an altitude of more than 3,000 kilometers, the invisible gravity that permeated the surroundings was even so terrifying that it shattered the space.
Even Chen Chu frowned under the terrifying tearing force, the intensity of which had already reached the middle stage of the Heavenly King.
"The world of mythology is divided into multiple layers. Don't force your way across. We will pull you up." As the old voice sounded, a white rule enveloped Chen Chu.
Silently, Chen Chu appeared thousands of kilometers above the sky.
In an instant, Chen Chu felt that everything around him became unreal, and the ground below became a little blurry. It was not just because of the clouds and mist, but it was as if there were several layers of film between them.
At the same time as the ground below became a little blurry, the texture of the laws that permeated between heaven and earth became clearer, including the golden light from the sun, which seemed to have substance.
This very contradictory feeling made Chen Chu frown.
In the void not far from Chen Chu, Qian Tian, whose hair was half white and half black, smiled slightly: "Do you feel a little uncomfortable?"
"It's okay, but I suddenly feel a little awkward." Chen Chu withdrew his gaze from the floating earth and looked forward.
There, the first councilor Qian Tian stepped on yin and yang, forming a Tai Chi diagram field that distorted time and space within a range of several kilometers, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
Not far from Qiantian, the God King of Tianji appeared in the form of a golden Rubik's Cube with a diameter of three meters, slowly rotating.
Chen Chu directly explained his purpose and said, "Two seniors, when I was trying to escape from the pursuit of the two demon gods of Diorus, I was attacked by the third demon god."
"There is actually a third demon god!"
Qiantian and Tianji God King were both a little stunned. They didn't expect that Chen Chu was facing the siege of three demon gods at that time, and yet he was able to escape unscathed.
No, at the end of the previous battle, they could feel two demon gods confronting them. So, apart from Diorus and Chaotis, the extra demon god...
The golden Rubik's Cube spun, and the voice of the Heavenly Base God King rang out: "Chen Chu, is that demon god from the Purgatory Ancestor Court?"
Chen Chu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know where it came from, but when the other party used the power of the rule of "Words Come True", the prefix of the chant was "Ancestor's Law".
"These strange powers sealed my plane world and summoning secrets respectively, and I almost got into trouble, but luckily I used the forbidden teleportation device at the last moment."
“But those Purgatory Demons are really strong. Even though I have escaped into the depths of time and space, the power of the forbidden weapon was shattered by a blow that transcended time and space…”
Some things naturally won't be said out loud, so Chen Chu still fell into the Void Ruins' rhetoric.
But even so, when I heard that Chen Chu fell into the ancient human ruins and obtained a large number of skills, including a basic body-refining skill he created himself, I was still a little shocked.
Like Xie Chen and his companions, they immediately saw how great the impact of the basic body-refining exercises was.
Looking at the black-haired young man standing in the void in front of him, the few strands of white hair on his forehead added a touch of maturity, but the problem was that he was only seventeen years old and had already shouldered so much for the Federation.
Qian Tian suddenly asked: "Chen Chu, have you ever thought about opening another path of cultivation?"
"What does it mean to open another path of cultivation?" Chen Chu was stunned by the sudden change of topic.
Looking at the black-haired young man in front of him, Qian Tian said gently: "You know the racial heritage weapon in the hands of the Zhenwu Heavenly King, the Zhenwu Divine Stele, right?"
Chen Chu nodded: "I know."
Chen Chu was naturally no stranger to the Zhenwu Heavenly King, who was at the peak of the Heavenly King realm and was capable of confronting the ancient Titan mid-stage demon god and even injuring the opponent under the control of the Zhenwu Divine Monument.
Qian Tian said slowly: "The so-called racial heritage weapon is actually another rule path, such as the 'Zhenwu' condensed on the Zhenwu Monument!"
"The naming of Zhenwu Heavenly King is also related to the racial heritage weapon. His original title was not Zhenwu, but he changed it in the end to comply with the rules."
"And the rules of the foundation do not affect your own strength. If the effect of the body-refining technique you created meets expectations, it will be equivalent to opening up another path in the Federation."
"This is a body-refining system that allows everyone in the Federation to become extraordinary. When it grows into the 'foundation' of the human race, it will be enough to form an invisible and powerful force."
"When the time comes, you only need to find a carrier, a carrier of the foundation, and then you can be blessed with the second rule."
Qiantian’s words made Chen Chu somewhat interested. With his talent, it wouldn’t take long for him to find a way and break through to the strongest and master a rule.
In addition to the original blank rules contained in the Soul-Suppressing Emperor Seal, he already possesses two of them. If he can master one more power from the race's heritage...
Chen Chu said thoughtfully: "Senior, this kind of background rules should have restrictions, right?"
Qian Tian nodded: "Of course, everything has its pros and cons."
"The rules of a race's heritage are related to civilization. If a civilization is destroyed, the heritage will also disintegrate. If the one who controls the heritage only has this rule, then he will directly fall to the Heavenly King level."
“Even if a cultivator controls multiple rules, his true body will be torn apart and seriously injured due to the collapse of his foundation.”
"Of course, the benefits are also great. The power of racial heritage is related to civilization. You don't need to spend your energy on cultivation. You just need to overlook and promote the development of civilization."
"And the stronger the civilization, the stronger this rule will be. For example, the Zhenwu has already reached the point of being the strongest, so the Zhenwu Monument is so powerful."
"Similarly, the fact that Tianji, Yuanchu, and I were able to become the strongest so quickly and fight against the Infernal Devil without losing was also related to this aspect."
"If you reopen a lineage and fully promote the way of body refining with our support, you can break through to the Heavenly King within half a year and start to carry the foundation and touch the rules in advance."
"Then you can skip the intermediate process. With your talent, you may be able to break through to the strongest level within three years."
So that's how it is. Chen Chu nodded suddenly.
Relying on a growing civilization and condensing a certain underlying force into rules is indeed a shortcut to improving combat effectiveness.
But having said that, it is obviously difficult to meet the conditions to carry the heritage of a clan. Even he only met the requirements because he created another cultivation route.
Moreover, the disadvantages are also obvious to Chen Chu. He is different from Qiantian and others. His road is longer and wider, so he cannot be bound.
So in the end Chen Chu still shook his head: "Senior, forget it, I have found my own way, and I am confident that I will surpass the Heavenly King in a short time."
"So instead of splitting up the body, it is better to continue to merge it into Zhenwu. By then, the power of the divine tablet in Senior Zhenwu's hand will be even stronger."
"This... okay." Qiantian and Tianji, who didn't expect Chen Chu to refuse, paused. Then they remembered that he had once inherited the emperor's legacy, and they were relieved.
They suggested that Chen Chu carry the foundation, naturally in order to help him break through to the strongest level as soon as possible.
Under normal circumstances, reopening a cultivation route consumes a huge amount of resources and energy, especially the "weapons" that carry the foundation, which require the entire family to refine.
However, since Chen Chu refused, Qiantian and the others decided not to mention the matter again and pondered for a moment.
"The seal on your body is a bit troublesome. It is the power left behind by the real Purgatory Demon when he was in deep sleep. Yan Kuang was almost killed by the Purgatory Law back then."
Chen Chu's eyes moved slightly: "Yan Kuang, the senior who opened up the world and mastered the most powerful law."
The golden Rubik's Cube slowly rotated: "Yes, when Yan Kuang entered the realm of Heavenly King, he directly killed a great demon king on the battlefield, causing the opponent to target him."
"It was also because of Yan Kuang's actions that we knew that the Purgatory Clan had a terrifying foundation. While we were accumulating foundation at a faster rate, we were trying to find a way to get to the other side to gather information."
"Tianji, let me do it this time. The rest of the battlefield matters will be left to you and Yuanchu."
"Hmm." The Rubik's Cube turned slightly.
boom!
Ten thousand kilometers above, the yin and yang light shone brightly, forming a Tai Chi diagram that covered the sky and the sun and slowly rotated. The sudden change once again made everyone below look up in shock.
However, no one knew what had happened at this time that made the First Councillor look so serious and show such regularity.
Ten thousand kilometers above, the Tai Chi diagram was rotating like a world-destroying millstone, emitting terrifying power. The invisible and pervasive pressure made it difficult for everyone below to breathe.
Even at the Purgatory Demon Base, which was more than 20,000 kilometers away, the two guarding demon gods looked over.
However, as soon as the two demon gods approached the human base, they were blocked by a mecha that was ten thousand meters tall and radiated endless white divine light like a god.
This change lasted for about a day and a half, and then the Tai Chi diagram disappeared, and the figures of Chen Chu and Qian Tian appeared again above the ten thousand kilometer sky.
"Thank you very much, senior." Chen Chu looked solemn and bowed slightly to Qiantian who was sitting cross-legged in the void.
Compared to the ease with which the Eye of Hell eroded the seal, asking Qiantian to erase the two seals was more difficult than Chen Chu had imagined. It was a power beyond the strongest rules.
Even Qiantian, who is known as the strongest human, has to consume the origin of rules, and the consumption is one to ten.
Qian Tian, whose aura was obviously weaker, shook his head: "This is what I should do. Regardless of your contribution to the Federation or as a descendant of the human race, I have the obligation to take care of you."
"Now that your seal has been erased, I need to trouble you with something else."
Chen Chu said politely: "Senior, please speak."
"Don't be so serious. It's about the expedition."
"This time we formed an alliance with the Tianyu clan and sent an expeditionary force led by Zhenwu Tianwang to support them, but both we and the Tianyu clan knew that the Tianyu clan was doomed to be destroyed."
"The main purpose of this support is, first, to delay the destruction of the Tianyu clan, and second, to show strength to those who are wavering within the alliance."
"There is Zhenwu at the Heavenly King level, and you will be among the younger generation. The power you will demonstrate should be enough to boost the confidence of those 'people'."
"The Tianyu clan will be destroyed, but they will not be annihilated. We need to attract the remaining Tianyu clan members to come and resist together."
"According to the news brought back by Xuanwu Jiuyou and his group, Diorus and his group expanded here regardless of everything because of the order of the Purgatory Ancestor."
"So after the Tianyu clan is destroyed, the three empires that have freed up their forces will definitely transfer some of their forces here when the main forces are resting. By then, our pressure will double."
It was almost the same as what Chen Chu had thought before. The news he got from Tarolya was actually already known to Qiantian and others a long time ago, and they had already started making preparations.
"I understand, senior." Chen Chu nodded slightly.
"Although the seal has been broken, I will need some time to recover from my injuries. I need the expeditionary corps to wait for me for a day."
Qian Tian nodded: "No problem, I will notify them."
Soon a golden light crossed the sky and earth and flew towards Channel No. 1 City. Chen Chu wanted to find a place to summon the Emperor Dragon of Destruction and the little purple dragon.
