Chapter 90: Breakthrough by Eating Two Rune Characters?
"Too horrifying, did this brat actually eat the Rune Character?"
"No, no, she hasn't swallowed it yet, I bet she definitely can't swallow it. Those Sword Intents are going to tear her mouth apart sooner or later."
All the Heavenly Prides watched Chu Xin, who was covering her mouth, with utter shock.
"Gulp!"
Chu Xin forcefully swallowed, forcing the Rune Character down her throat.
The Sword Intents continuously released by the Rune Character wildly assaulted her throat, visibly bulging as if someone was punching from inside her throat.
"This brat is really fierce, she actually swallowed it."
"She's not afraid of cutting her throat open? Or slashing her intestines to pieces?"
All the Heavenly Prides couldn't help but swallow their saliva and involuntarily reached for their own throats, feeling an inexplicable cutting sensation.
"Little brother! This character doesn't taste like much... Burp!"
After swallowing the Rune Character, Chu Xin smacked her lips twice, turned her head to Chu Chen on the ground, and began to share her post-eating experience. But before she could finish, she let out a satisfied burp, and a terrifying Sword Qi shot out from her mouth, heading straight ahead.
In front, the boy with the bow was hovering in the air and, seeing the Sword Qi shooting towards him, hurriedly brought out his Defensive Magical Artifact to defend himself.
With a booming sound, the Sword Qi struck the artifact, and the terrifying force exploded, sending the boy with the bow retreating more than ten zhang.
Crack!
Although the Sword Qi vanished, his Defensive Magical Artifact was cracked and eventually shattered into pieces on the ground.
"My Magical Artifact!"
The boy with the bow was on the verge of tears.
Chu Xin hastily covered her mouth and, seeing the boy with the bow look at her with grief and indignation, adopted the expression of someone who had done something wrong and said in a cutesy voice, "I'm sorry, the character was rampaging in my tummy, and I couldn't help but burp out a little bit of the Sword Qi from the character."
As she spoke, she even stretched out her small hand, with her thumb and forefinger pinched together, and sincerely added, "Really, just a little bit, a very tiny bit."
The boy with the bow's lips quivered, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Just a little bit of Sword Qi shattered my Magical Artifact?
I really don't believe it.
Could this brat still hold a grudge against me for shooting arrows at her earlier, deliberately waiting for an opportunity to take revenge?
This brat, she's not big, but why is her grudge so substantial?
Long Shaoyu looked at the scattered pieces of the Magical Artifact, twitched the corners of his mouth, and chuckled, "Don't worry, it's just a Magical Artifact. Ai Chirou, little sister, don't take it to heart."
"Mm, big brother is the best."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xin immediately grinned at him.
Long Shaoyu instinctively moved a bit to the side.
Chu Xin, however, didn't mind, and turned to glance at the Heavenly Prides. She had intended to show off her feat of eating the character but instead had scared the Heavenly Prides into collectively retreating three zhang.
The Magical Artifacts they carried were their protection in the Secret Realm, and no one wanted theirs to be mysteriously destroyed by the brat's burp.
Chu Xin chuckled dryly, "You don't need to be afraid, the character has been digested by me, and I won't burp again... Burp."
Before she could finish speaking, she let out another burp.
Fortunately, the Rune Character truly was devoured by the Divine Rune Power within her, and no Sword Qi was emitted.
But even so, it scared the Heavenly Prides standing before her to swiftly move to the sides, retreating more than ten zhang.
Looking at the odd looks from the various Heavenly Prides, Chu Xin chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, don't worry, this time I really won't burp again."
The Heavenly Prides slightly relaxed but no one approached any closer.
This bear-like child was somewhat incredibly excessive; even the tiniest wisp of Sword Qi spraying out from that Rune Character had destroyed a Martial Venerate's Magic Artifact. One could imagine how terrifying the Sword Intent contained within the Rune Character was.
And yet such a terrifying Rune Character was eaten outright by this bear-like child.
They had never seen such an abnormal bear-like child.
"Sister, have I become a bit more powerful?"
Chu Chen, seeing that no Heavenly Pride dared to approach, finally relaxed, looked up at Chu Xin in the sky, and asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xin closed her eyes to feel the Divine Runes inside her and discovered that the Divine Rune Power had thickened considerably and even her Sword Intent had grown much stronger, she couldn't help but exclaim with joy, "Brother, eating the character really does make you powerful."
"That's great, sister, quickly eat the middle character too, that one seems to be the most powerful of the three characters," said Chu Chen, patting his plump little hands with glee.
"Okay!"
Chu Xin nodded and turned her head to look at the golden Rune Character "Sword," her round eyes shining with expectation beneath the phoenix mask.

She stretched out her snow-white little hand and pressed it against the "Sword" character formed by the condensation of the golden Divine Runes.
Boom!
A more terrifying Sword Intent burst forth than before, madly assaulting that snow-white little hand.
The spilling Sword Intent swept outwards, making those Heavenly Prides close by let out muffled groans, with blood seeping from the corners of their mouths.
Those farther away also felt a fearsome suppression, with both their souls and the True Qi within their bodies roiling.
Such terrifying Sword Intent.
The Heavenly Prides were astonished, distancing themselves once again, and their looks towards Chu Xin became even more shocked.
Could this bear-like child really withstand such terrifying Sword Intent?
Under the gaze of the Heavenly Prides, small golden lights also shone on Chu Xin's hand. Upon close examination, one would discover that it was a miniature Protective Shield comprised of small swords formed by the golden Divine Rune Power, completely isolating the Sword Intent bursting from the Rune Character "Sword."
At the same time, Divine Rune Power poured from her hand, condensing into strands of golden thread that wrapped around it, then forcibly pulled it out from the plaque.
Roar!
She opened her mouth wide and swallowed the Rune Character "Sword" in one gulp.
Boom!
Sword Intent surged, forcing her mouth to stretch wide open, frightening Chu Xin so much that she quickly covered her mouth tightly with both hands.
Chu Xin felt a silent relief in her heart, grateful for her quick reaction, or else she might have let it escape.
Gurgle!
She swallowed the Rune Character along with saliva, and although the Rune Character kept bursting with terrifying Sword Intent and Sword Qi in her mouth, her throat, and her intestines, Chu Xin was protected by Divine Runes inside her body, preventing the Sword Intent and Sword Qi from harming her in the slightest.
Instead, as it entered her body, her own Divine Runes, as if they had sensed a top-grade delicacy, began to operate wildly, devouring the Rune Character "Sword," converting it into exceedingly pure Divine Rune Power.
Even the Sword Intent contained within the Rune Character "Sword" was decomposed and absorbed by the Divine Runes, transforming into Chu Xin's own Sword Intent.
Boom!
An incredibly terrifying Sword Intent rose from within Chu Xin, her small body suspended in midair, surrounded by a divine aura of Sword Intent.
At that moment, the Heavenly Prides seemed to see a goddess descending to earth, too dazzling to look at directly. They all lowered their heads, their hearts filled with immense astonishment.
This bear-like child, after eating just two Rune Characters, had her cultivation break through?
