Divine Rune Awakening: Starting With Various Divine Runes and Dominating the World

Chapter 13: The Tier-Four Ant King

Outside the shelter in the western suburbs of Longjiang City.

The huge army of ants surged like a tide as the ant king the size of a van roared and charged forward. It looked deadly and evil. When it approached, all the ants in its path moved to the side, making way for it.

…

The survivors who were watching the broadcast inhaled sharply when they saw the ant king, worried for the Divine Runemasters who were fighting.

"Heavens! What a big ant! The other ants look small in comparison!"

"With such a huge body, how terrifying must it be?"

"It looks terrifying. Can the Grim Reaper Divine Runemaster deal with it?"

…

"Hmm?"

Gu Changqing swept away the ants in his surroundings and shifted his scarlet eyes toward the ant king that was charging toward him. For it to grow to such a size in just a night, he knew that the ant king must have devoured many of its own kind. The ant king was at least at the peak of the third tier.

Gu Changqing's eyes shone with madness and excitement as he deactivated the Grim Reaper and Skull divine runes. Then, he activated the Asure divine rune, the Black Dragon divine rune, the Blood Spear divine rune, and the White Tiger divine rune at lightning speed.

Boom!

In just a moment, the Asura Dragon Armor covered Gu Changqing's body. The blood spear appeared in his hand while the 36 White Flying Daggers from the White Tiger divine rune hovered in the air behind him. Without wasting another moment, he charged at the ant king with the blood spear in his hand. The power of the Asura and the Black Dragon wreaked havoc, stirring up a violent wind that blew the ants in his path away.

…

On the observatory platform.

Zhao Yuting, Wang Rong, and Li Yuxia and Wu Xiaoya; Wu Rui's wife and daughter respectively, watched the fight.

After Zhao Yuting discovered the official broadcast, she dismissed her idea of broadcasting live as well. Her beautiful eyes shone with admiration as she watched Gu Changqing charging domineeringly at the ant king.

…

Meanwhile, the survivors were shocked.

"F*ck! How many divine runes does he have?!"

"Awesome! He's so powerful!"

"What a f*cking cool armor! Can he defeat the ant king?"

"Good luck! Our Nine Region Empire is counting on you!"

Similar to Zhao Yuting, many women were filled with admiration when they looked at the domineering and seemingly invincible Gu Changqing.

…

In the conference hall.

"How did he manage to survive the awakening of so many divine runes?"

A hint of horror could be seen on Huang Mengguo's face at this moment. They had learned late last night that the awakening of a divine rune was very painful. In fact, the awakening of a slightly more powerful divine rune could even kill someone. According to the statistics, there were many people who died during the awakening process of powerful divine runes.

"We must rope in this young man to our cause so he can help stabilize our Nine Region Empire," Xuanyuan Wangrui said with bright eyes.

Long Zhanguo nodded. "Yes. If we have him, we can ignite the hope of the survivors!"

"This is only the beginning of the mutation. Once the mutant beasts in the wilderness and sea come out, the situation will be very difficult to control. We need a powerful Divine Runemaster to lead the other Divine Runemasters."

"Let's talk about this later, and see how strong he is first," Huang Mengguo said. His eyes were fixed on the screen where the ant king and Gu Changqing were fast approaching each other.

…

Underground Shelter #3 in Longjiang City.

"This guy's armor is crazy. How is he so powerful?"

Lin Chen's heart was filled with unease, shock, and jealousy as he looked at the domineering and violent figure on the screen. The other party could kill the ants in the surroundings with his aura alone. He had thought that with his Fire Dragon divine rune and Emperor divine rune, there would be no Divine Runemasters in the world who could rival him. He did not expect there to be someone much stronger than him.

In fact, it was not that Lin Chen's divine runes were weak, it was just that Gu Changqing's divine runes were too powerful. It was indeed difficult to find people who could rival his Fire Dragon divine rune and Emperor divine rune, but Gu Changqing's Black Dragon, Asura, and White Tiger divine runes were all top figures in the legends. Lin Chen was only asking to be humiliated if he compared himself to Gu Changqing.

Meanwhile, Su Youwei seemed to be able to read Lin Chen's thoughts. She whispered, "He's just like a god and predicted everything. Don't compare yourself to him. He has 11 divine runes, all of which are powerful figures from myths and legends. Furthermore, he was able to survive the awakening of all those divine runes. It's impossible for humans to do such a thing. He's really like a god."

"11 divine runes? How could he withstand it? That's crazy!" Lin Chen was dumbfounded.

Lin Shuiyao rolled her eyes at Lin Chen and said, "That's why Youwei said he's like a god."

Similar to the trio, many Divine Runemasters who were watching the broadcast all over the world only felt that it was inconceivable that Gu Changqing awakened so many divine runes without dying. It was completely beyond the scope of what humans were capable of.

…

Boom!

A thunderous explosion rang in the air when Gu Changqing collided with the ant king. His blood spear was fiercely pressed against the ant king's bloody rows of sharp teeth.

A terrifying power surged out, stirring up a cloud of sand that concealed their figures.

Swoosh!

The 36 White Flying Daggers glinted coldly as they shot out. Then, a loud sound rang out. It was as if they had hit metal.

The ant king roared as nine blade-like thorns from each of its six huge legs shot out, following its thoughts to kill Gu Changqing. At the same time, energy began to gather in its mouth before it suddenly shot out an energy beam as thick as a water tank.

'Even my White Flying Daggers can't penetrate its scales? It's at least the late stage of the fourth tier. Just how many of its own kind did he devour? Did it know that it could evolve by eating its own kind?'

Gu Changqing's scarlet eyes shone brightly. The ant king had moved too quickly, and it was too late for him to dodge the energy beam and the 54 blade-like thorns that were coming at him.

Buzz!

Gu Changqing raised his hand, and a shield with black dragon scales appeared in front of him. A deafening sound rang in the air when the energy beam and the 54 thorns struck.

Gu Changqing quickly stabilized his footing. He did not expect that the ant king actually evolved to the late stage of the fourth tier in just a night. In his previous life, this kind of mutant beast was referred to as an epic beast.

The ant king roared again and advanced, leaving the cover of the sand. 54 thorns hovered in the air in front of it as it stared at Gu Changqing with its lantern-sized eyes mockingly. If it could speak, it would have definitely mocked Gu Changqing. After all, a tier-four beast's IQ was comparable to that of humans.
