Chapter 479: Runic Divine Seed, The Terrifying Chen Chu (II)

"Not enough. Two trump cards aren't sufficient—I need at least three." Xie Chen took a deep glance at the distant phenomenon in the sky before his figure flashed, arriving at the core area of an underground base several hundred meters deep.

After passing through several security gates, Xie Chen entered a spacious room. At the center was a slowly rotating dark-golden crystal, about the size of a human head.

In a solemn voice, Xie Chen said, "Celestial, contact the First Councilor for me. I have something important to discuss with him—first sequence priority."

[Access verification complete.]

[You have three opportunities to request first sequence priority. Request approved.]

Accompanied by a cold, electronic voice, a virtual image of a red-haired girl appeared and slightly bowed to Xie Chen. [King of the mortal world, please wait. I will contact the First Councilor immediately.]

Buzz!

The distant, slowly rotating crystal vibrated, activating an immense power from within. Instantly, the entire room's space solidified, and time came to a halt.

Under the power of principle, a hazy figure appeared, crossing through infinite time and space as if summoned.

The figure gradually became clearer, soon revealing a middle-aged man with half-black, half-gray hair. His deep gaze pierced through time and space to land on Xie Chen, his voice gentle.

"Old Xie, has something important happened on your end for you to use the principle power to contact me?"

Xie Chen smiled wryly. "Big Brother Qian, I’m contacting you this time because of Chen Chu."

The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, surprised. "Chen Chu? The kid who inherited Emperor Heng's legacy? What about him?"

"Just now, he broke through to the Eighth Heavenly Realm."

The middle-aged man nodded. "Impressive. He entered school last September, and now, in less than a year, he’s reached the Eighth Heavenly Realm. With two months left in the year, it’s possible he’ll reach the Ninth Heavenly Realm within that time.

"We’ve already held a meeting about him. But why did you suddenly contact me? Was there something unusual about his breakthrough?"

Xie Chen nodded in wonder. "Yes, during his breakthrough, he condensed four illusory worlds at once, containing the four attributes of earth, fire, wind, and lightning."

"Creation of heaven and earth, supreme law." The middle-aged man paused slightly.

"Yes, supreme law. This kid’s talent is even more outrageous than we estimated. I’m starting to think he might step into that realm within a few decades."

The middle-aged man slowly nodded. "I understand your concern. In that case, simply refining two forbidden items with the power of principle won’t be enough. Have him wait at Base One after his breakthrough. I’ll make a trip there myself.

"When he enters the mythical world later, send him to the Expansion Division. He can wait until after he reaches the Ninth Heavenly Realm to enter the frontlines directly, though I doubt that will take long."

Initially, they had planned to let Chen Chu make his own decisions, merely offering guidance. Now, however, they decided to send him to the Expansion Division first.

There, he could temper himself and adapt to the mythical world while building up the resources from the relics he would need to break through to the Ninth Heavenly Realm.

With Chen Chu’s talent, it was possible that by then, he’d even be able to match a king in combat, making him much safer.

The human race's frontlines were dominated by high-level experts confronting one another. If a king-level demon appeared on the battlefield, it would always be countered by another king. Any demon king venturing too deep would risk being surrounded and killed.

At that point, Chen Chu’s dominance over others in the same realm would allow him to sweep across the battlefield.

In the sky above, as the projections of four worlds and the Battle Demon God’s image grew clearer, the roof of the cultivation room below suddenly exploded, and a dazzling light shot into the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As Chen Chu charged into the clouds, the four world projections and the Battle Demon God phantom seemed to collapse, drawing endless power of the heaven and earth into his body.

Boom!

In an instant, a pressure far exceeding the Eighth Heavenly Realm erupted, obliterating everything around and sending wave after wave of white shockwaves rippling in all directions.

"So powerful!"

Everyone watching that figure floating calmly in the air thousands of meters high wore expressions of solemnity and awe. Xia Youhui, in particular, was ecstatic.

"Damn! Damn! Ah Chu is insanely strong now, hahaha...!"

Seeing Xia Youhui dancing around excitedly, Lin Xue was speechless.

This isn't even your breakthrough. Why are you so excited? But Chen Chu is terrifying.

Thousands of meters in the air, Chen Chu’s face was now covered with dark-golden dragon scales. His eyes, cold and majestic, were black-gold with heavy pupils, resembling those of a humanoid demonic dragon.

Feeling the power capable of destroying heaven and earth within him, Chen Chu slowly exhaled, as the fine scales on his cheeks and the black-gold pupils gradually disappeared.

Then, with a thought, a transparent page that only he could see appeared before him.

...

This breakthrough surprised Chen Chu with its magnitude, yet it was also within reason, as he had prepared extensively for the Eighth Heavenly Realm.

Whether it was the five top-level core runes from the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor, the massive external constructs of the four worlds, or the perfectly deduced battle phantom, everything aligned with his expectations.

The outcome was as he had anticipated.

Upon breaking through to the Eighth Heavenly Realm, his physical body began reshaping, and the five core runes of his abilities fully fused with him, giving birth to divine seeds that perfectly inherited the power of his abilities.

In his normal state, his strength would gain a twentyfold boost, along with a twentyfold defense enhancement, mastering the powers of lightning and fire derived from top-level abilities.

Once he entered the battle state of the War God Body, these seed powers would activate fully, amplifying his strength to a hundredfold.

It could be said that Chen Chu, who was simultaneously evolving his physical body and cultivating the True Martial Art, was already stronger at the Eighth Heavenly Realm than the beginning stage of the level 8 Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon form was related to the third transformation of his physique, merging the essence of the Dragon Emperor with the concept of gene martial arts that Chen Chu had initially developed.

"Right now, I should count as high-end combat power." Feeling the terrifying power within him, Chen Chu smiled faintly before his figure flashed and flew downward.

After the Eighth Heavenly Realm and True Martial Unity, merging with heaven allowed him to resist gravitational and magnetic fields and walk in the air.

However, compared to the ability to fly and travel within the earth in the Ninth Heavenly Realm, he still fell short.
