"This is the rune-inscribed automaton I made; I call it Rune Puppet No. 1."
Don't let its small size fool you; its attack power is fully capable of reaching the True Spirit Realm level.
Moreover, it has a strong ability to hide, making it very suitable for use as a scout.
If it is captured by the enemy, I can control it to self-destruct, and the power of the self-destruction will be several times stronger than its attack.
After speaking, Chen Mu took out another long, tubular object, about 1.5 meters long.
"This is Handheld Rune Cannon that can fire long-range projectiles. The projectiles are made with my improved Explosion Talisman. The power at the center of the explosion is roughly equivalent to the Early Stage of the True Spirit Realm, while the power of the surrounding shockwaves gradually decreases with distance."
Actually, I'm still working on improving this Explosion Talisman. I feel its current destructive power is still lacking, especially the blast radius isn't large enough.
Although Chen Mu's Divine Soul has reached the Solid Realm, it doesn't mean that all the talismans he creates can reach the power of the True Spirit Realm. Some talismans have inherent structural limitations, and even the most powerful talisman master cannot increase their power beyond their limit.
Take the Explosion Talisman for example. Its power limit is probably the Late Qi Nourishing Realm, and a cultivator in the Late Qi Nourishing Realm corresponds to a talisman master in the Late Stage of the Void Realm.
If the talisman master's Soul Power is insufficient, it will limit the power of the talisman. However, if the talisman master is beyond the Late Stage of the Void Realm, no matter how hard they try to create it, its power can only reach the Late Qi Nourishing Realm.
To enhance the power of runes, their structure must be modified, and modified runes should no longer be called Explosion Talisman.
For example, within the Haotian Empire, there was a sect skilled in making talismans. They invented a brand-new Explosion Talisman, which they named the " Five-Thunder Heaven-Blasting Talisman."
The power of this talisman is enough to threaten cultivators at the Core Formation Realm; it is the most treasured artifact of their sect.
Generally speaking, runes that can pose a threat to cultivators above the True Spirit Realm are closely guarded secrets of various sects and rarely circulate in the outside world.
Therefore, it is very difficult for Chen Mu to learn those runes; he can only improve upon them to create the runes he wants.
"In addition to these, I also improved and manufactured Rune Gun No. 3!"
Chen Mu then took out two brand-new Rune Gun from his storage ring.
The new Rune Gun is entirely bluish-black, with more intricate runes, and it is made entirely of a rare type of cold iron.
"Each of these two guns cost nearly 10,000 contribution points. Even the special bullets I equipped with them were worth at least 100 contribution points each. Using these guns to kill people is almost like throwing money at them."
If I use the special bullets I made, I can't say I can kill the Demon King, but I can definitely pose a threat to Demon King."
Chen Mu spoke with unwavering conviction, his eyes brimming with pride.
Mingye and A Huo were so shocked by Chen Mu's endless stream of inventions that they didn't know what to say.
Chen Duo lived with Chen Mu. Although she knew that Chen Mu had some new inventions, she only had a vague understanding of them. This was the first time she had heard Chen Mu explain these Rune Artifacts.
" A Mu, how many of these rune cannons and Talisman Puppet have you prepared?"
"If the quantity is small, it's useless."
A Huo couldn't help but ask.
Chen Mu chuckled and stretched out his palm, which was covered with storage rings.
"I've made fifty Handheld Rune Cannon, sixty Rune Puppet No. 1), and although I only have two Rune Gun No. 3), I've prepared sixty Rune Gun No. 2). I also have several thousand sheets of various talismans in my storage ring."
Actually, these are all things I planned to bring back to Chen Village. My father is still in the Bless Flame Tribe Bless Flame Tribe, and I'll be causing trouble for them sooner or later, so I prepared extra."
Chen Mu had already created a rune printer of the spirit talisman level, but he dared not sell the talisman paper anymore and now kept it mostly for his own use.
After Chen Mu finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized what he meant and couldn't help but admire his foresight.
"However, there are two problems at present. First, I don't have many Spirit Stone, and driving so many Rune Artifacts will soon exhaust them."
Secondly, our numbers are too small to unleash the true power of these Rune Gun.
Of these Rune Artifacts, only Rune Puppet No. 1 does not require human operation; the others all require human intervention.
There are at least hundreds of thousands of people in the city now, so there's no need to worry about people.
However, Chen Mu was unwilling to let anyone use his research findings. If he were to distribute weapons, he would only do so to people he trusted.
" A Mu, let's go find Elder Qing Xue first!"
Although most of the disciples of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion don't like us, at least they know us well. If we can persuade Elder Qing Xue, nearly two hundred disciples of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion can help us."
Chen Mu pondered for a while, then nodded.
"The disciples of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion are indeed better than people from the outside world, but I still don't trust them."
The news of Wind Sea Pass's breach won't be kept secret for long; at most two or three days, Bai Jinglong will definitely announce it. Let's observe their reactions then before making any further plans."
"Great! Actually, I met a few senior brothers from the Overlord Body Hall during this trip. They're all very nice people, and they should be able to help out later."
Chen Duo suggested.
"Hmm! Anyway, we can contact some familiar people in the next few days and hope they will stand with us through thick and thin. I need to think about the specific arrangements further."
After some discussion, it got late, and everyone was tired from running around all day, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
It was the third watch of the night, inside Mingye's room.
"Who?"
Mingye awoke with a start from the beam, jumped down to the ground, and let out a soft cry.
Not sleeping soundly in bed has become her instinct; she remains vigilant wherever she is.
From the time she was old enough to understand, she had been killing people, and he knew that one day he would be the one killed.
But she wanted to live, so she had to kill more people. Only by becoming the sharpest blade in the Tuoba Lineage could she become irreplaceable and live longer.
"Hehe..."
A chilling laugh rang out behind Mingye. Startled, she was about to jump away when a cold touch pressed against her neck.
"Master?"
A wave of despair washed over her; this nightmarish woman had actually taken action herself.
The one who subdued Mingye was none other than Miao Min, the assassin leader of the Flame Blessing Tribe, who had taught Mingye his killing skills since childhood.
In Mingye's mind, Miao Min was a woman who was both a god and a demon. She had personally witnessed Miao Min slaughter an entire village by herself, killing them one by one as if she were toying with them.
"Heh heh... I thought you could learn some great skills at the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion."
But you've become weaker! You dared to make a sound after waking up; don't you know that will reveal your location? Have you forgotten everything I taught you?"
The chilling voice was like a venomous snake, slithering past the ears of the Mingye.
Mingye did not answer her question. In a flash, he turned into a white light and disappeared from the spot.
