Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

As the Dragon Emperor's body grew toward three thousand meters, invisible threads of evolutionary energy passed through the soul passage and silently emerged within Chen Chu.

Far away above the chain of lakes, a ten-meter-wide sphere of dark yellow light gently expanded and contracted, exuding an enormous amount of suction as it absorbed transcendent energy from a thousand kilometers around.

Endless streams of energy gathered, forming a massive, inverted white vortex beneath the azure sky, devoured by the lifeform within the sphere. As the aura inside grew stronger, the heavens and earth began to tremble. The dispersed clouds gathered once more, spreading over a range of several hundred kilometers.

Boom!

Suddenly, a bolt of dazzling lightning descended from the sky. It struck the dark yellow sphere and exploded, releasing surging currents that crackled through the air over hundreds of meters.

Then came a second bolt, a third... One after another, thunderbolts from heaven poured down. The sphere of light was engulfed in lightning, its brilliance blinding and its momentum vast. Yet, all of these heavenly thunderbolts were consumed by the lifeform.

With his life essence exhausted and then replenished by the Little Purple Dragon's Creation Origin, Chen Chu's Innate Demon God Body underwent a devastating collapse only to be reborn, unleashing an enormous surge of life force.

It seemed to align with some principle; the Profound Yellow Qi that had been absorbed from the Black Forbidden Zone and during the creation of the planar world all exploded at once.

As this Profound Yellow Qi, which had once been fused with his true form, was stripped away and reforged, Chen Chu's body began another transformation—one that brought it closer to the primordial beginning of heaven and earth.

Combined with the evolutionary energy fed back from the Dragon Emperor, Chen Chu's physical body became increasingly stronger. The sheer aura of power it released crushed the surrounding space.

In the crumbling darkness, five law sequence chains—two black ones representing void and soul, a gray one for death, a blue one for thunderbolt, and a golden one for flame—surrounded Chen Chu's form, forming five radiant halos. They began to rapidly merge with Chen Chu's true form, his aura edging ever closer to the peak of the mythical level.

Lifeforms born at the beginning were innately compatible with the principles and laws of heaven and earth. As Chen Chu's body and life stage were reborn, from a post-primordial to a primordial existence, he naturally began fusing with the laws themselves. Even he hadn't expected this outcome.

Yet at this moment, he was immersed in the surge of cultivation and the comprehension of countless strands of law, silently experiencing the metamorphosis taking place throughout his body.

Time passed quietly as Chen Chu cultivated and recovered. The golden sun slowly dipped westward, while the red star rose high in the sky, casting down a crimson glow.

All living beings across the mythical world grew inexplicably restless beneath that red sunlight, especially the mutated and colossal beasts of lower intelligence—they became increasingly aggressive and violent. In the distance, the roars and battle cries of level 9 colossal beasts soon echoed across the horizon.

At the same time, the sphere of dark yellow light, having cultivated for a full day, suddenly trembled and then burst apart, scattering into countless yellow lights and vanishing. Within the dark void left behind by the collapse of space, Chen Chu sat cross-legged, clad in a white shirt, black hair draping over his shoulders. He slowly opened his eyes.

Those black-and-white irises were brilliant and radiant, exuding an indescribable majesty and indifference—like an ancient god standing atop the heavens, overlooking all beings.

Chen Chu slowly exhaled, feeling the power within him—power that seemed capable of destroying the world with a single strike. With a thought, he summoned his attribute panel.

Compared to slowly sensing changes bit by bit, nothing was more intuitive than looking at the attribute page directly.

With this recovery, Chen Chu's Demon God Body had completely evolved into its innate state, increasing its amplification by an additional 30%. That number didn't sound overwhelming at first, but post-mythical cultivators could stir dozens of times more transcendent energy through divine law power with each strike.

When Chen Chu had first returned to the innate state, the amplification from his Demon God Body was already equivalent to a hundredfold of what cultivators at the Ninth Heavenly Realm could access.

Moreover, the Dragon Emperor's consecutive devouring of three law-level divine items had fed back a huge amount of evolutionary energy during its growth. Alongside the tempering from the remodeling of his true body, Chen Chu's physical body became tremendously tougher.

His baseline physique, previously equivalent to a compression of 70 Heavenly Dragons, now surged to 85. If Chen Chu's body had once equaled a compressed beginning-stage titan, now it was like two such beasts compressed into one form, rendering his physical power even more terrifying.

In addition, all of his laws' cultivation had surged. The most significant gain was in the Law of Power, while the Great Heavenly Sun Flame and Divine Thousand-Tribulation Lightning were both nearing the peak of the mythical level.

Thanks to the planar world absorbing the titans' bones and essence, the pace of his improvement was astonishing, and that was after absorbing only part of them in a single day.

As the titans' energy continued to be converted, the planar worlds would continue expanding rapidly for a long time, compensating for the planar and supreme law limitations that would've normally taken the most time to overcome. One could say that in just a single day, Chen Chu's power had undergone an earth-shattering transformation, his strength multiplied several times over.

Now, if he were to face the fully awakened peak demon king Tarorya again, Chen Chu was confident that even if he couldn't slay her, he could overwhelm her with absolute strength and never fall behind.

After sweeping his gaze across all of the changes in his attributes, Chen Chu slowly said, "Almost time. I should be going."

As he rose, a boundless aura surged forth, flooding the heavens and earth. The moment he stood, the surrounding world trembled faintly, sending shockwaves as mighty as a mountain collapsing or a sea roaring.

Boom!

Chen Chu stomped once, and the space within a thousand meters instantly shattered. With the force of the rebound, he vanished from sight, leaving behind a black mark stretching for over a hundred kilometers that lingered in the sky.

"What's going on? Didn't they say we were departing today? Why are the humans asking to delay again by a full star cycle?"

Atop a golden divine tree towering over ten thousand meters tall, on a leaf dozens of meters wide, a young man with a pair of golden light wings and semi-materialized golden feathered wings on his back spoke in frustration.

This was Kato, a youth from the Heavenly Feathered Race who had once been defeated by An Fuqing in a single sword strike. Around him, dozens of young Heavenly Feathered Race geniuses stood upon the vast branches and leaves. Among them stood Augbas, a monstrous talent whose golden feather-marked brow and strength were not inferior to An Fuqing's.

After Kato's complaint, a tall Heavenly Feathered woman also frowned and said, "Indeed, what's going on with the humans? Why do they keep delaying again and again?"

"Enough, everyone quiet down. If they need to wait another star cycle, then so be it," Augbas said calmly. "As a great race, the humans agreed to set out alongside us, yet they've delayed twice now. Clearly, something important is happening. But instead of guessing here, why don't we go and ask directly? We'll know once we talk to them. Come, let's go."

Streams of golden figures descended from the sky, flying toward the nearby Orbital BattleshipExpedition 1. At the front of its black deck stood a black-and-red mech over three hundred meters tall, exuding a terrifying aura that made even Augbas and the others feel uneasy.

As they approached, they saw Luo Fei and An Fuqing standing on Mech No.1's shoulder, quietly conversing. Upon seeing the group of golden-winged figures, they both paused. An Fuqing, with four divine swords strapped to her back, seemed a little surprised. "Lord Augbas, is something the matter?"

A polite smile appeared on Augbas's face, extraordinarily handsome even by human standards, as he courteously replied, "Ms. An, we just wanted to ask why your side has delayed departure again."

"Didn't Grand Duke Bordea tell you?" An Fuqing asked in mild surprise, then faintly smiled. "The day before yesterday's delay was due to some preparations not being completed. Yesterday's delay was because Chen Chu was still en route, and we needed to wait for him."

"Chen Chu?!" Everyone, including Augbas, froze. The youth named Kato even blurted out in shock, "You mean that human genius who escaped unscathed while being hunted by two Purgatory Demon Gods!?"

"That's right."
