Kiting with Runes

At the Earth's core, a dark barrier, like an inverted giant glass bowl, completely enveloped the surrounding airspace.

The surface of the barrier was covered with dark blue patterns, like the veins of a sleeping ancient god. As Hua Qiang approached, these patterns began to ripple.

Hua Qiang hovered at the edge of the barrier, his body shrouded in tiny starlight. When he opened his palm, pale blue runes appeared and disappeared, like fragments of a galaxy flowing between his fingers.

The moment he broke through to the First-Grade Starry Sky Rune Master realm, the entire barrier trembled violently, and the originally dark sealing talismans suddenly burst into light, as if thousands of bright lamps had been lit at the same time.

Hua Qiang's eyes sparkled with starlight as he reached out and swept his hand across the void, his fingertips touching a spot where a faint blue light shone.

He could clearly sense the pulse of each symbol, as if he were touching his own pulse.

These talismans are no longer cold, forbidden objects, but rather companions who understand his heart.

As the thoughts flowed, the runes on the barrier began to arrange and group in an orderly manner, sometimes forming a rotating star map, and sometimes condensing into sharp blades.

Looking through the barrier at the enormous, mountain-like Starry Sky Behemoth inside, Hua Qiang's eyes were filled with greed.

This is Starry Sky Behemoth!

Every move he makes is filled with the Starry Sky Power. If he can comprehend and control the Starry Sky Power, then he can enter the Starry Sky Realm.

With his greed growing stronger, Hua Qiang decided to use the sealing talisman outside the barrier to attack the Starry Sky Behemoth.

Even when flying a kite, you must keep flying until you understand the Starry Sky Power.

Let's start here.

Hua Qiang's lips curled into a smile, and his right hand clenched into a fist.

Dozens of talismans suddenly condensed at the southeast corner of the barrier, transforming into dazzling starlight that pierced through the barrier and directly targeted the Starry Sky Behemoth within the sealed space.

The colossal beast blotted out the sky, its silver scales gleaming with a cold metallic luster. Its folded wings resembled two giant star swords, and its massive body was crackling with deep blue electric arcs. With each breath, it distorted the space around it.

The sudden attack caused the behemoth to roar, its scarlet vertical pupils snapping open, its killing intent surging like a tangible wave.

It flapped its wings, and in an instant, countless bolts of lightning appeared out of thin air, carrying the power of the stars and pouring down like a torrential rain.

Lightning collided with stars, causing the sealed space to explode with blinding light, and the roar shook the barrier violently.

Hua Qiang's expression changed slightly, and he quickly formed hand seals. The talismans converged like flowing light, forming a rotating Star Shield around the barrier.

But the behemoth's counterattack was far beyond imagination. It opened its blood-red maw and unleashed a beam of starlight containing an aura of destruction. The moment it struck the barrier, space itself cracked like a shattered mirror.

Rumble!

A violent roar shook the earth's core, causing magma to erupt violently from the area where Hua Qiang was located, and the temperature of the entire core rose several times over.

Even with Hua Qiang's enhanced defenses, he still felt intensely hot, even experiencing a sense of suffocation.

The tremors continued unabated, as if they were about to shatter and crack the ruins.

Hua Qiang felt his blood surging and his throat taste sweet, but instead, his eyes lit up with excitement.

He formed hand seals like a butterfly flitting through the air, infusing the talisman with the Law of Power and Law of Annihilation.

The runes containing the power of laws entered the barrier, and dark purple flames exploded on the giant beast's scales.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The scales on the giant beast's back were torn open, leaving charred wounds, and blood shot into the void like meteors.

"Roar--"

The Starry Sky Behemoth went completely mad, and with each flap of its wings, it caused spatial distortion as it struggled frantically.

The power of stars and lightning intertwined to form a massive storm vortex, and cracks spread across the surface of the barrier like a spider web.

Hua Qiang was immersed in the thrill of battle. This was his first time using runes to fight enemies, and while he found it quite novel, it also deepened his understanding and application of runes.

He constantly adjusted the rune combinations, sometimes transforming them into a shower of stars, and sometimes condensing them into a star-studded battle halberd, launching attacks from different angles.

Hua Qiang could even clearly see the trembling of the giant beast's muscles when it was angry, the silver blood flowing between the gaps in its scales, and the starlight burning deep in its mouth with each roar.

The battle escalated, Hua Qiang's clothes fluttered in the energy storm, his hair flying backwards in the wind.

He suddenly stood in mid-air, his hands raised high, and runes around his body rolled up like a reversed Milky Way.

[Starfall!]

Countless runes converged into a giant meteor burning with eerie blue flames, which crashed down on the behemoth with an aura of destruction.

Sensing a deadly threat, the behemoth spread its wings to form a shield of light, and its scales burst forth with dazzling light.

However, the meteor containing the dual laws pierced through the defenses and exploded in a tremendous blast on the back of the behemoth, with smoke and stardust obscuring the entire sealed space.

At that moment, Hua Qiang's aura suddenly surged.

The Starry Sky Mark on his forehead shone brightly, turning into a vortex that absorbed all the starlight around him.

He could clearly sense that the runic power within his body was undergoing a transformation, with every cell greedily absorbing the Starry Sky Power that erupted during the battle.

Outside the barrier, a huge star map appeared beneath his feet, with ten runes rotating like stars, resonating with the power raging within the sealed space.

The Star Chart spun faster and faster, Starry Sky Power on Hua Qiang's body also rapidly gathered and increased, which deepened his understanding of the Starry Sky Power.

This excited him greatly, and he vowed to take down this Starry Sky Behemoth.

Hua Qiang quickly drew with both hands, and runes flashed in the air.

The runes were combined with the sealing barrier to strengthen the sealing power, and then the runes were manipulated to launch an even more fierce attack.

His consciousness seemed to detach from his body, roaming in an ocean interwoven with runes and laws.

Every attack draws upon the Starry Sky Power, every collision forges the will.

He saw the Starry Sky Behemoth's eyes gradually shift from anger to fear, witnessed how the power of the laws he had infused into the runes tore through its defenses, and sensed the critical point at which the power within his body was about to break through.

As another talisman-like light spear pierced the giant beast's brow, the starlight around Hua Qiang suddenly contracted violently, then burst forth again in an instant.

A vast pressure erupted from his body, and the Starry Sky Mark on his forehead became completely tangible. Countless tiny runes flew out from the mark, forming miniature Star System around him.

This life-or-death struggle with the Starry Sky Behemoth finally pushed him to the final step of entering the Starry Sky Realm.
