"A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your meager skills before an expert? Great Might Dharma Spell!"

With a furious roar, Chen Mu formed a lotus-shaped fist seal, and a powerful force exploded from his hand, instantly tearing the black hole in front of him to shreds.

Ultimately, all martial arts and soul skills in this world are combat techniques gleaned from the Rules of Heaven and Earth.

At Chen Mu's level, he had long abandoned combat techniques and instead directly transformed the Rules of Heaven and Earth into laws to fight. In terms of rank, all his moves were super-rank martial arts techniques.

Therefore, Wei Wencheng's attempt to use his soul skill to stop him was like showing off his axe skills in front of Guan Yu, which he found laughable.

After Chen Mu tore open the black hole, he grabbed Wei Wencheng by the throat with one claw and lifted him up.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the Lü Sisters finally reached Chen Mu from behind, attacking Chen Mu back almost simultaneously from above and below.

puff...!

A strange scene unfolded once again; Chen Mu's figure flashed and then reappeared dozens of meters away.

"I understand! It's his large-scale rune technique. His large-scale rune technique can alter the rules of the surrounding space, allowing him to teleport."

This time, Wei Wencheng finally understood how Chen Mu teleported, but no matter how much he thought about it, he was now helpless.

In Wei Wencheng's eyes, the Domain of Laws was an extremely complex talisman technique. Although he didn't understand how Chen Mu had achieved it, that was his current understanding.

Aside from those within the Chen Kingdom, very few people know about the Battle Talisman Master cultivation system. Therefore, in most people's eyes, Chen Mu is just a talisman master who also cultivates body training.

After capturing Wei Wencheng, Chen Mu did not rush to kill him. Instead, he quickly Dharma Power to generate Sealing Rune, sealing his Divine Soul and body, turning him into an ordinary person.

"Since you're being so aggressive, I'll grant your wish and send you to hell!"

A cold glint flashed in Chen Mu's eyes. He threw Wei Wencheng to the ground and took the initiative to meet the Lu sisters who were chasing after him.

Capturing Wei Wencheng seemed easy, but that was because Chen Mu's Battle Talisman Master skills completely countered talisman masters who were weak in close combat. The Lü Sisters, however, were different; they were both genuine martial arts practitioners, and the only way to defeat them was through direct confrontation.

Chen Mu was shirtless, his body covered in flowing golden runes, like a vessel of the Great Dao. His moves seemed simple, but they contained countless runic mysteries, making them unpredictable and impossible to defend against.

The Lü sisters were also giving it their all. Many parts of their bodies had become snake-like, and snake crowns appeared on their heads. Almost all their attacks were now based on the Yin and Yang Qi.

However, their complexions were also not good. Their bodies could not fully withstand the extreme power of Yin and Yang Qi. Attacking at this time would be a lose-lose situation.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Boom! Boom!

The power of the runes in Chen Mu's hands was unpredictable. Sometimes, the Five Elements Ring formed a ring that created a sharp blade to destroy everything; sometimes, the yin and yang fish formed a perfect circle that was impervious to all magic; and sometimes, the power of thunder was extremely violent.

However, Chen Mu's time at the Emperor Level was relatively short, and his World Power was much weaker than that of the Lü Sisters. The two primordial snakes that the Lü Sisters had transformed into were also formidable, and their combined power was multiplied, making it increasingly difficult for Chen Mu to cope.

"A master on the Heaven Ranking, truly living up to his reputation!"

Chen Mu had already used all his methods. The Domain of Laws was his highest achievement in studying the Rules of Heaven and Earth, while the Runic Body was his trump card for survival. Only by combining these two methods could he barely hold off the Lü Sisters. This was the true strength of a master on the Heaven Ranking.

"Is that the only option? But it's not perfect yet, and revealing it so early might be inappropriate..."

Chen Mu's mind raced, but he ultimately abandoned the idea of revealing his last trump card and chose instead to fight the Lü Sisters to the death.

On one hand, even using that method wouldn't guarantee victory; on the other hand, it was his last resort, and he was waiting for the Abyss Devil Race to counterattack before using it.

Since Chen Village acquired billions of territories from the Wilderness, he has devoted himself to the research of Rune Technology, hoping to build a prosperous and powerful nation.

As a result, he neglected his combat skills considerably; he hadn't experienced such a grueling battle in a long time.

This life-or-death battle reminded him of the arduous training he endured as a child.

Back then, Chen Village had no cultivation techniques or spiritual medicines to enhance the body. The villagers could only train their bodies day and night to stimulate their potential, hoping that one day they would achieve a connection with the Celestial Person, thereby generating a wisp of Spiritual Power in their dantian and becoming martial artists.

Chen Mu started training with adults when he was four or five years old, and it took him more than three years. Although the training methods at that time were very crude, those hard days had a profound impact on his fighting spirit.

"I refuse to believe I can't defeat you!"

At this moment, the ten Five Elements War Soldiers that Chen Mu had previously released to help others automatically merged into the air and dissipated. Chen Mu was about to concentrate all his power to kill the Lü Sisters.

"Laws manifest, Technology Storm!"

Dozens of high-tech weapons of various designs appeared around Chen Mu's body, including laser guns, electromagnetic guns, Spirit Particle guns, and cluster cannons, which launched attacks on the Lü Sisters.

These weapons are the culmination of Chen Mu's research over the years. However, some of them are not very practical, so they have not been mass-produced. But within the Domain of Laws, they can complement some other weapons.

Sizzle...! Puff...! Swish swish!

Controlled by a Biological Intelligent Brain, these technological weapons can automatically lock onto and attack targets. However, the Lü Sisters are highly skilled, and these technological weapons have been unable to hit them.

" Domain of Laws, Compress!"

Aside from being slightly weaker in ranged attacks, the Lü Sisters were almost without any weaknesses. However, Chen Mu's ranged attacks were completely ineffective against them. At this point, the only way to defeat them was to take a risk and see if they would make a mistake.

Clang! Hiss...!

After the Domain of Laws is compressed, its power will become even stronger. Chen Mu plans to use this method to lure the Lü Sisters deeper in, looking for an opportunity to kill them in one blow.

However, the Lü Sisters were not fooled. With their rich combat experience and superb agility, they kept leaving bloody marks on Chen Mu's body. Gradually, Chen Mu's body was soaked in blood, and he became a blood-soaked figure.

The loss of blood severely damaged Chen Mu's bodily functions; he was like an insect trapped in a spider web, hanging by a thread.

Just then, Chen Mu discovered that the cells in his entire body had begun to wriggle, and he felt a higher level of power within his body.

"I have never been able to fully develop the power of Rune Cell because the potential of a living organism needs to be broken from the inside out."

Forcibly changing it with external force will only cause it to collapse. Only by stimulating its growth through a life-or-death struggle can it break through its shackles and achieve true rebirth.

As Chen Mu sensed the changes in his body, he gradually came to understand.

If an egg is broken by an external force, it can only become food; only by breaking it from the inside can it gain life.

If you never face danger, you can never become a true strong person. The most important quality of a strong person is to become stronger when faced with stronger opponents and to become more courageous in battle.
