Chapter Text:
The Blade of Runes, severing the heart and soul.
The power of the Ming Wang Blade Technique is not just in its strength, but also in the mysterious heart eye it unlocks.
At the moment Chen Chu pushed the strengthening techniques to their limit, his entire consciousness exploded, instantly scattering into countless thoughts around him, while the intangible substance vanished into the depths of the void.
At the same time, true power surged from his dantian, running along unfamiliar pathways. With each cycle of this movement, his energy thickened, and his aura became sharp and imposing.
Whenever the formless sea breeze approached within a meter of Chen Chu, it would emit a sound as it was torn apart by the surrounding sharp aura.
Suddenly, the thoughts that filled the deep space around Chen Chu abruptly retracted.
Boom! A sound akin to the opening of the heavens erupted deep within his mind, followed by the gradual opening of a void-like consciousness space.
In this empty consciousness space, alongside Chen Chu's immense mental power, there was also a special "force" brought back from the void during the retraction of his thoughts.
Under the influence of this special power, Chen Chu's formless mental strength transformed from nothingness to something tangible, continuously condensing until it gradually formed a rune resembling both text and a blade.
As the rune solidified, a surge of information flooded into Chen Chu's mind.
"The Blade of Void Severance, a special rune condensed from the mind and spiritual power, possesses the characteristic of severing all illusory forces upon activation."
A blade that cuts the flesh, a heart that severs the soul?
As he murmured to himself, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife, and wherever his eyes passed, the air vaguely emitted the sound of tearing.
Feeling the changes happening within him, a hint of amazement appeared in Chen Chu's eyes.
This time, with the extreme strengthening of his blade technique, his realm naturally broke through to the late stage of the three heavens, and his true power had doubled in thickness, becoming more refined.
In addition, all his meridians had become broader and tougher with this breakthrough, capable of withstanding a stronger explosive burst of true power.
However, compared to the breakthrough in realm, Chen Chu's greatest gain was the change in his mental power; the originally formless mental energy had become sharper under the influence of the rune.
Moreover, if anyone dared to use mental attacks against him, as long as he activated the void-slaying rune, he could instantly annihilate the invading void power within him.
Of course, this annihilation definitely has its limits.
If an enemy's mental or spiritual will were much stronger than Chen Chu's, it would be his rune that would shatter.
Furthermore, due to the realness of his mental power, Chen Chu's perception had become even sharper, giving him a vague illusion of mastering the sixth sense.
For instance, at this moment.
Lost in thought, Chen Chu turned his head to the distance on his left, where several light points flickered slightly, followed by an astonishingly fast approach.
Along with them came a powerful aura filled with pressure.
Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, three figures enveloped in red and blue flames, exuding the presence of the sixth level of heaven, landed not far away.
"The light wave sensing indicates something nearby."
"Strange, there are no signs of mutated beasts. Could it be they haven't come ashore?"
"Anyone over there see any powerful mutated beasts appearing?" The gazes of those figures flickered like lightning, scanning the surroundings before landing on Chen Chu.
As the flames jumped, Chen Chu recognized one of them and exclaimed, "...Xiao Hai."
The robust Xiao Hai also seemed surprised, looking at Chen Chu on the distant reef and saying, "Little Chen, what are you doing here?"
As they spoke, two of the three figures flickered and leaped several dozen meters down to the rocks below; seeing this, Chen Chu also jumped down from above.
