Chapter 393 - 208 Realm Sublimation, Nuclear Explosion Between Claws, Divine Power Naturally Formed
Runes are not actually characters but are manifestations of a certain “strength”.
Since they cannot be described with words, those who observe them represent them with their own understanding of the character which includes the analysis of the textures and patterns they comprehend.
This is Jack’s weak point.
His cultivation time has been too short, and his exposure to runes has been just over half a month.
Although he managed to recognize all those Basic Runes in this time and knew that each one represented a certain strength, this understanding was only superficial.
He could only know what they were, not why they were so.
For example, a “flame” rune, he knew that it represented fire, intense heat.
But why does this “flame” rune represent fire and convey intense heat?
If he wanted to condense this rune, which focal point should he start from? What problems might arise during the formation? And what would be the specific effects after it has been condensed?
He did not know any of this.
Not to mention trying to combine a series of runes that represent different abilities to achieve the desired result.
This is where Jack lacked in high-order Martial Arts intrinsic quality.
Under normal conditions, even geniuses need several years to cultivate to the Sixth Layer Heaven, and ordinary geniuses might need several or even ten years to break through from the Sixth Layer Heaven to Seventh Layer Heaven. Such a long period of time was sufficient for them to cultivate and learn about runes.
Therefore, having obtained the Godly Dragon Elephant Secret Book only a few days ago, Jack had only just finished analyzing the rune structure for condensing the Seventh Layer True Martial Shadow, interpreting the meaning of each section through the general outline.
In this situation, it would take him at least another month to fully comprehend the content of the Seventh to Ninth Layers of the Godly Dragon Elephant Secret Book.
Not to mention creating his own secret techniques by using this as a reference. But now, as the Thunderflame Behemoth broke through to the Eighth Level, the Seven Talents manifested and condensed out of nothingness, almost bit by bit expounding the essence of “runes” to Jack.
At this moment, Jack was frantically absorbing this information, his thoughts racing at a terrifying speed, with myriad ideas clashing and sparking off like fireworks.
Many rune structures and theories he couldn’t understand before now seemed to suddenly become clear.
This kind of opportunity could be said to be unparalleled in ancient and modern times.
Because only the Thunderflame Behemoth’s realm of thought at the moment of breakthrough to the Eighth Level could perceive the process of talent manifestation and condensation; other life forms simply couldn’t “see” or “perceive” it.
Humans’ reference for runes comes from a part of the rune marks engraved on the scale armor, bones, or Crystal Corner after killing Giant Beasts, which are incomplete.
And when other Eighth Level Beasts are breaking through, most of them are hibernating, and the few that remain awake and aware only “blankly” witness this scene.
As for the Mutated Creatures, the concept of “knowledge” doesn’t even exist in their thoughts, not to mention pondering, referencing, and comprehending.
Only Jack would study, comprehend, and compare frantically with the Basic Runes he had learned during this period, absorbing countless ultimate truths of heaven and earth to enrich himself.
As Jack was immersed in the ocean of the essence of strength, trying to comprehend its profundity, time passed without him knowing, and those Talent Runes gradually receded.
The Golden Flame burned, the Thunder leaped, covering the center of a two- hundred-meter domain, and the Black-red Colossal Beast, now sixty-five meters long, slowly opened its eyes.
A faint hint of regret showed in those enormous golden vertical pupils.
Because it hadn’t seen enough.
Of course, one mustn’t be too greedy.
This gain was already huge enough.
Now, probably in only one day, no, just half a day, Jack was confident he could finish parsing the Divine Might Dragon Elephant Secret Book, because both it and the Thunderflame shared the Divine Might Dragon Elephant Rune as their core.
With a shift in thought, the Thunderflame Behemoth retracted its focus.
After the manifestation of Talent, the fire and thunder that previously existed only within it now appeared substantially in the Outer World, forming a prototypical domain two hundred meters in range.
Within the domain, the flames and Thunder wouldn’t dissipate, but formed a kind of constant presence, as if this ephemeral domain was an extension of its body.
Or to put it another way, this two-hundred-meter domain was actually the true form of the Talent Runes representing fire and thunder.
Therefore, the seemingly infinite intense flames and leaping Thunder were actually Power Projections, without any high temperatures, having no effect on the surrounding sea water.
But with a mere thought from the Thunderflame Behemoth, these flames could instantly burst with a terrifying heat, burning everything.
No wonder when it fought the Ancient Giant Crocodile, its Gravity Domain could burst out in an instant, because the domain was always around it.
Besides, within the domain, the Thunderflame Behemoth’s control over flames and thunder was even more effortless, for example…
The Thunderflame Behemoth lowered its head, and with a thought, the endless golden flames surged and converged toward its claw, rapidly forming a golden Light sphere in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
As the golden flames continued to compress, terrifying intense heat erupted, causing the surrounding sea water to explode into rings of purple-red shockwaves.
By then, the ten-meter-diameter Light sphere was still rotating, compressing, expanding, and then contracting, emitting an even more dazzling Radiance and terrifying heat.
Whoosh whoosh!!
The Thunderflame Behemoth exhaled Golden Firelight from its mouth and nostrils, and even its golden vertical pupils had dancing flames. Its powerful Will kept compressing the golden Light sphere.
Inside its body, the energy belonging to the Golden Flame was pouring in without end—a tenth, two-tenths…
When the Thunderflame Behemoth poured sixty percent of its body’s Golden
Flame energy into the Light sphere and compressed it to forty times its size with powerful Will and domain power, a sun appeared in its hand.
The ten-meter-diameter, seemingly substantial golden Light sphere appeared in the claws of the Thunderflame Behemoth.
