Chapter 299 Reverse Rune

I am proficient in formations. Runes have mutual effects on formations, talismans, puppets, etc. The runes used in formations are numerous and complicated, and finally combined to form a large formation. Talismans are just a simple application of runes to enable them to play a role, either to attack or to assist.

The puppet is nothing more than a stack of talismans. The runes carved with spiritual power are in the refined spiritual materials. There are more spiritual sources and more magic skills can be performed.

Can the runes be reversed? Shi Chen was deeply attracted by this sudden idea.

He began to recall what he had learned about runes, from the basic rune composition to the complex rune combination application, trying to find clues about rune reversal.

While dodging the puppet's attacks, he quickly simulated the possibility of reversing the runes in his mind.

If runes can be reversed, then the rune power originally used to drive the puppet may be able to be used in reverse, thereby achieving the purpose of destroying the operation of the puppet's internal spiritual power.

Shi Chen decided to test the runes on the puppet again. He carefully observed the glowing runes on the puppet, trying to find the veins of the runes' operation.

He discovered that when the puppet launched an attack, the flow of spiritual power from these runes followed a certain pattern, flowing from the core to the limbs, and then converted into attack power through specific runes.

Shi Chen tried to use his spiritual power to reversely interfere with the flow of spiritual power in these runes.

He concentrated his energy, condensed his spiritual power into thin threads, carefully approached the runes on the puppet, and then inserted the spiritual power threads into the runes in the opposite direction of the normal spiritual power flow.

The moment the spiritual power filament was inserted into the rune, the puppet's body shook violently, and the originally smooth attack movement also showed obvious lag.

Shi Chen was delighted, knowing his attempt had paid off. He continued to increase his spiritual power output, pushing it in the opposite direction along the rune veins.

As Shi Chen operated, the rune light on the puppet began to become disordered.

Very good and very effective!

As Shi Chen operated, more and more reverse runes, using spiritual power as a medium, were injected into the bodies of the two puppet Qilins.

The movements of the two puppet Qilins became increasingly jerky.

Boom!

A moment later, the two huge puppet Qilins fell to the ground with a loud bang. Their entire bodies were imprinted with Shi Chen's spiritual runes. Their limbs were in a state of spiritual obstruction and interruption, and only their eyes could still move.

"Humans, don't disturb the master's rest!" roared the two puppet Qilins.

Looking at the two puppet Qilins that fell down but were still able to roar, the thoughts in his mind became more determined.

Since this reverse rune can play such a great role, he needs to further test the limits of its effects and potential applications.

He walked to a puppet Qilin, squatted down, and carefully observed the parts where reverse runes were imprinted.

Shi Chen discovered that these runes formed a strange blockage in the puppet's spiritual power veins, just like a reef suddenly appearing in a river, blocking the original direction of spiritual power flow. The spiritual power could not flow, and its functions were restricted and stopped.

The channels through which spiritual energy flowed were blocked by the reverse runes, and the entire puppet became ineffective. However, Shi Chen understood that this was only a temporary effect.

There is always spiritual power impacting the reverse runes in the puppet Qilin's spiritual power veins. Even if the spiritual power in the reverse runes drawn by the puppet Qilin is exhausted, the puppet Qilin will still recover.

How can I keep the reverse rune permanently active within the puppet? Should I combine multiple sets of reverse runes, or find another way to replenish spiritual power?

He first tried the method of combining multiple sets of reverse runes.

He gathered his spiritual power once again, and based on the original reverse runes, he added several new reverse runes according to certain rules and intervals.

These new runes echoed with the original runes, forming a more complex rune network.

When he finished all this, he found that the strength of the spiritual power in the puppet Qilin's body impacting the reverse runes had indeed weakened, which showed that the combination of multiple sets of reverse runes had a certain enhancing effect.

But this is not the effect I want. I need a blocking reverse rune that is both efficient, simple and practical. This is my ideal reverse rune.

Runes need spiritual power to work. How to provide spiritual power and replenish it?

Use the spiritual energy in the surrounding environment to convert it into spiritual power to replenish the energy of the reverse rune?

This requires a string of runes to achieve, which is too complicated and not convenient.

The puppets we encounter now are those with strength equivalent to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. What if we encounter puppets in the late stage of the Fusion Realm, or even beyond the Fusion Realm?

It is impossible for them to slowly insert spiritual runes into your body one by one. You need to develop fast, efficient, and simple reverse blocking runes. As long as they are inserted into the puppet's body, they can block the flow of the puppet's spiritual power and make the puppet ineffective.

Shi Chen fell into deep thought. He knew that it was not easy to develop such a fast, efficient and simple reverse blocking rune.

He began to re-examine the nature of runes. The reason why runes can work is because their unique structure can guide and control the flow of spiritual power.

So, is it possible to design a rune with a special structure that, once it comes into contact with the spiritual power veins in the puppet's body, can automatically absorb spiritual power from the environment and convert this spiritual power into a force that blocks the flow of spiritual power?

Shi Chen decided to start with the structure of the runes. He constructed various rune models in his mind, from the simplest geometric shapes to complex three-dimensional structures, and then analyzed the impact of these structures on spiritual power.

None of them are ideal runes that are simple, efficient, and can always work.

The function of the reverse rune is to block the spiritual energy channels. If you want it to continue to work, you must charge it and replenish spiritual energy.

Spiritual power, replenish! Replenish from the environment? Continue writing the runes to transform spiritual energy into spiritual power.

Replenish? Spiritual power?

Ah! Suddenly, Shi Chen had a flash of inspiration. To replenish spiritual power, wouldn't it be better to replenish it directly within the puppet's body? Simply replenish the spiritual power of the reverse rune through the puppet's veins and absorb it.

This idea made Shi Chen very excited, and he began to carefully study the problem of charging the rune spiritual power in the puppet's body.

Modify the reverse rune and change the spirit charging circuit to absorb the spirit power in the veins to ensure the loss of the rune's own spirit power. As long as there is spirit power in the veins that impacts the reverse rune, it can always play a blocking role.

In this way, as long as the reverse rune can penetrate into the puppet's body, it will become a deadly poison to the puppet. The spiritual power flowing in the veins will be blocked by the reverse rune. Until there is no spiritual power in the veins, the reverse rune will disappear due to the exhaustion of spiritual power.

This creates a vicious cycle. As long as spiritual power passes through the meridians, the reverse rune will be activated and the puppet will be unable to operate.

Perfect! He began to modify the reverse rune. He first carefully disassembled the original spiritual charging circuit, then used spiritual power to rebuild a new absorption channel that could be closely connected to the puppet's spiritual power veins.

After repeated experiments and adjustments, Shi Chen finally successfully completed the transformation of the reverse rune.

Five days passed quickly, and one of the puppet Qilins was badly tested. Its eyes, which were once lively, now had no spirit.
