Monsters Are Coming

Chapter 1466: Chapter 378: My Potential Surpasses Your Imagination (Part 3)

"The story below involves untellable secrets, so it ends here." Ji Chen turned his head solemnly towards Long Yi and nodded:

"This is the convoluted story of my return to the Hometown World, completed."

The air solidified for a moment.

Long Yi’s sharp claws suddenly clenched tightly.

The next second, a fist bearing the sound of breaking sky slammed fiercely onto Ji Chen’s shoulder.

"You brat, playing tricks on me."

Though over two hundred years old, Ji Chen now laughed like a prankster who had successfully pulled off a trick.

"Old Yi, show some respect for me. I’m different from back then; beating you is like child’s play, don’t force me to showcase my strength." He rubbed his numb shoulder, yet his face carried a smile:

"And don’t pursue what I actually experienced; just know that I had a fortuitous encounter afterward, joined a special organization, but specifics cannot be disclosed due to a warning from a friend, so I can’t detail it to you. In short... I am now terrifyingly strong."

Long Yi listened but continued to stare without further questioning Ji Chen’s subsequent experiences:

"So, how strong are you now."

Facing the inquiry, Ji Chen’s face bloomed with a brilliant smile.

Finally, his moment to show off had arrived.

"Ahem." Ji Chen deliberately cleared his throat:

"Do you remember when you introduced rule-level powers to me?"

Long Yi upon hearing, suddenly recalled the past.

Back then, while teaching Ji Chen to master various combat techniques, he had on impulse introduced that ’rules’ were supreme powers.

Ji Chen once curiously asked him what rules were.

His response was that they break the laws of reality, forming independent absolute logical powers.

The strongest aspect of rules isn’t destructive power, but the ability to redefine the logic of entities within their influence.

During this, he also detailed the rule owned by their Dragon Wing Clan: Dragon Breath.

The effect of this rule is, within the domain enveloped by Dragon Breath Rule, the power acquired by the clan through cultivation and consuming spiritual materials is amplified ten-fold.

Logically it completely modifies the laws of reality.

The prerequisite is generating energy based on the logic of rules, which is the power source that activates the rules.

For a race, possessing rules is the first step towards becoming powerful.

It allows for various developmental systems and factions based on rule characteristics, endowing a race with infinite possibilities.

Seeing Long Yi’s puzzled expression, Ji Chen feigned composure and said:

"I now possess 12 types of rule-level powers (PS: Besides the Life Soul in the Star Vein Slot, there’s also group amplification types, such as Blood and Flesh Reshaping, Gathering, Divine Transformation)."

"12 types?!"

Long Yi’s golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted, it instinctively leaned forward, its head almost touching Ji Chen’s face, the hot breath from its nostrils carried dragon breath sparks, causing snow-white hair on Ji Chen’s head to flutter wildly.

"How is it possible?!"

Ji Chen’s answer truly shocked it.

Though possessing rules doesn’t necessarily mean great strength.

Monster World has many factions without mastered rules yet exhibits substantial potential for war.

However, lacking rules means having no potential for growth.

The entire Dragon Wing Clan, since its inheritance, has only condensed the single rule of "Dragon Breath", with generations of Great Dragon Lords exhausting their efforts to enhance the amplification multiplier of the Dragon Breath Rule from the initial three-fold to ten-fold.

And Ji Chen, this former good brother who followed him, claims to have mastered 12 rules.

It feels akin to when a poor lad who couldn’t even have his fill for meals suddenly throws twelve gold mountains at its feet.

Looking back, Ji Chen struggled even with the most basic spiritual energy sensing cultivation.

But now, the silhouette that once painstakingly explored and grew under its protection, casually spoke a number enough to overturn its understanding.

Rule-level power is the essence of a world and not all worlds can cultivate rules.

Every world with rules inevitably holds the potential to nurture powerful civilizations.

To refine world essences into rules requires prolonged technological accumulation.

The Dragon Wing Clan explored many worlds.

Most worlds lack potential to cultivate rules, birthing even one is already the limit of a "Potential World."

Only Monster World holds immeasurable quantities of rule-level powers.

Every Source is a rule within the world framework.

Most importantly, Ji Chen’s words just now contain a detail that is deeply terrifying.

He has 12 rules within his body.

This implies that the rule-level powers within Ji Chen’s body do not conflict with each other.

It’s more absurd than Shadow Worms and Holy Light Worms from the Hometown World drinking from the same pond.

In its understanding, rules are self-contained logic that cannot be simultaneously mastered by an individual.

In Dragon Wing Clan’s history exploring Monster World, it saw factions with two rule-level powers, yet they were each held by different individuals.

For example, the Clan Leader holds one rule, the High Priest holds another.

Each holding different rules.

Regarding having multiple self-contained logic rules simultaneously held by one individual, this completely overturned its cognition.

Long Yi’s body trembled slightly, looking at Ji Chen with an incredulous gaze.

It reevaluated Ji Chen, feeling this once incredibly familiar good brother suddenly became somewhat estranged.

"You..." Long Yi’s voice was somewhat hoarse, paused for a long time, suppressing various thoughts in its head before continuing:

"Do you know what this means?"

Ji Chen grinned and replied:
